The Commonwealth of Nations - Jamaica's Future?

Image
The 54 member state of the Commonwealth of Nations was founded on December 11, 1931, back then it was called the British Commonwealth. The Commonwealth of Nations is one of the most useless and worthless organization and I challenge anyone to show how being a member of this dog and pony show contributes to our lives or our development. What does it add to our daily existence? As of 3 February 2020, 31 out of the 54 member states were Republics!  The Commonwealth of Nations represents one of Great Britain’s biggest failure since losing its brutal empire but that is by design. It represents the failure to evolve from Slavery, Colonialism, from Commonwealth into something more meaningful and beneficial for all.  The Commonwealth exists with no sense of direction, no sense of purpose and exist in limbo. The British have never defined their relationship with the Commonwealth Realms or Nations as a “ Special Relationship ”, that title is reserved for the United States of Am...

Jamaica Cabinet Reshuffle - Much Ado About Nothing

Delivering policies like a glove puppet dictated to him by Clark and the Growth council/ministry who has been running things behind. I am eager to see what Nigel Clark the young foreign educated intellectual Technocrat will bring to the table. What will he do diff...

The Peek and Poke of my life Growing up in Jamaica

Image
This was My first Computer on my dining table The BASIC function PEEK returns the memory contents of the specified address I never knew I wanted to be a software developer. When I was growing up, the thought had never even crossed my mind. First, I wanted to be a farmer thanks to my grandmother on my mother's side. Then a scientist and after that, a Nation Building finger wagging Revolutionary Politician, thanks to Michael Manley. While I was going to school I never wanted holiday work, as far as I was concern, school was my work and my holiday was my holiday, for me to do what I wanted to do. One summer my aunt took it upon herself to enroll me in a US Computer Summer Camp at The University of the West Indies to which I protested, until I realized girls from all over the world was also attending this Computer Summer Camp, so reluctantly I agreed. I had lots of fun at the summer camp and met lots of people and thought that was the end of that, a productive fun su...
