Bolt Bolted Down....

Like the US, Jamaicans have obviously chosen to go the 'herd immunity' route - despite what the WHO and the government is saying. Jamaicans are a stubborn, feisty people who will do what they like. Jamaicans just love to party and no one, nothing will stop them. Jamaicans also love dem politics, dem church and funerals and no one and nothing will stop them from going to church and keeping large funerals. 75% of Jamaicans will eventually get the virus, hundreds will die (mostly seniors and those with comorbidities) and then the virus will disappear due to herd immunity. Tourism will be impacted somewhat as through the process of building up herd immunity, Jamaica will become an international pariah. In view of the strategy Jamaicans have chosen, the only thing the government can do is to continue to keep the various sectors closed so that the hospitals are not overwhelmed. It may not be a strategy we like but it does work. The herd will be culled. As I am a senior with comorbidity, I am so glad mi did lef di dam place.....

Jamaicans! TIME COME!

  You can also see my video on this topic here:  https://youtu.be/sZm5eCjwym0 As the above Gleaner graphic shows, Jamaicans believe that their politicians are the most corrupt group in Jamaica. Second to that is the police. Yet, nothing has been done about it. There has been no widescale social upheaval. In this piece, I will deal with how this situation has come about and what we can do about it. There are three areas of state power: 1.     1.   Political power - those who control the government. 2.      2.  Economic power – those who control the land, the banks and businesses. 3.      3.  Social Power – those who control the mainstream media and religion. Recently, Barbados removed the British monarch as their symbolic head of state and replaced the title of monarch with a symbolic Barbadian President. This woke up the Jamaican political leaders who had grappled with this issue before but were unable to come to an agreement so the issue was re-opened again and a Constitutio

A suh di ting set!

https://www.jamaicaobserver.com/columns/are-there-honest-politicians/ For the last 60+ years, Jamaica's politiricks has been hijacked by a consortium made up of the corporate elite, a corporately supported subservient media elite and a corporately supported corrupt political elite which leaves Jamaicans with a choice between a corrupt JLP and a corrupt PNP. Realizing this, most Jamaicans passively opt out of the political process which maintains the status quo leaving the political field to loyal party hacks and party thugs feeding on the political trough. It is practically impossible to break this stranglehold on the political system because the corporate elite will not fund the start-up of any other political group as the corporate elite is quite happy with the obedience of the PNP/JLP gangs. The media elites, in subservience to their corporate elites will not give equal or positive media coverage to any new political movement. Although most of us Jamaicans do not support the JLP

US Election could lead to civil war?

  Could the US be heading towards another civil war? Will there be  war refugees from the US if there is a war? See the Atlantic article below. What does '..only if the American people acquiesce..' mean? How do the people not 'acquiesce'? Take up arms? Guns and ammunition are flying off the shelves of US gun stores. Many are setting up bunkers. Black people are forming militias. Who will be president if there are legal and constitutional issues leading to doubt about who is legally elected? Who will the military be loyal to if such a scenario arises? Trump as the incumbent will remain in charge of the military, all federal agencies, the nuclear football and The War Room up to 79 days after the election. There are no checks or balances. Even if a president goes insane, a military strike up to and including a nuclear strike can be ordered by the incumbent or his successor - on anywhere. It is alleged that when President Nixon was depressed and drinking heavily, he hinted
