Jamaican Till I Die!

I have been predicting a JLP win for some time now but I did not know just how much they would win by. I also tried to explain to people that PNP is running a very poor campaign and doing a terrible job as opposition. The PNP have brought nothing new to the table and if the PNP had any plan then they did not communicate that plan to the Jamaican people either out of arrogance or ignorance. The JLP have a Superior Public Relation machine and have been dominating the narratives for some time now. The PNP was too arrogant to respect that superior Public Relation machine and because they were too arrogant, they failed to counter it. The JLP could say anything about themselves and about the PNP who would ignore it as idle chatter, failing to see how it was resonating with the people. In the end the JLP Dominance in Public Relations and their ability to dominate the Narratives translated to JLP domination at the Polls. The PNP now needs to answer the question of leadership first and then r...

If this gets any worse we should not only blame the Government of the day but every member of the Political Class! This is the height of stupidity and a disregard for human life because of you need for power and glory.   I think we could all agree that 2020 is not a normal year. Yes, normally we have a certain level of yearly carnage on this planet, but this year is a bit special. We have a new mass murderer in town and it has already killed 779,443 people in about 8 months. It is safe to say, we are still smack in the middle of the 2020 Pandemic. Jamaica now have 1,146 cases. Which is why I do not understand why members of our political Class after all the speeches and debate regarding the Pandemic, decided to lead their semi-literate minion army on to the streets. Massive amount of merriment loving people is out on the street, jumping around like circus clowns, during this pandemic, which is the height of carelessness and pure almshouse! It is further proof that nothing will...

So, I am reading a letter supposedly written in 1834 by Governor of Jamaica, Sligo and addressed to the Negro Population of Jamaica. Just amazing to me that the then Governor would write to slaves when he never made any attempt to teach them to read. But I suppose the slave master, if he was feeling kind enough would read it to them. The quality of the Image is not very good, so I will attempt to write a transcript of what I am reading and I will attach the document so you can read it for yourselves just in case I made any mistake. The eyesight is not what it used to. ?????? - Means I cannot make out the word    https://nationalarchives.gov.uk/caribbeanhistory/popups/slavery-negotiating-freedom/co137_192_46.htm Dear Friends , Our Good King, who was himself in Jamaica a long time ago, still thinks and talks a great deal about this island. He has sent me out here to take care of you, and to protect your rights but he has ordered me to see justice done to your owners a...

The Government General wears this medal every time he puts on the ceremonial uniform and yet the Jamaican in this black man was never outraged by the symbols he wears on his chest and what it represents. The British colonial system was very good at beating the self-worth out of us, “Anything too Black not too Good”. Brainwashing us to the point that we hated ourselves. We the Jamaican people have been culturally conditioned, stewed to subjugation perfection as we wear and display the symbols of our oppressors with pride, like a blasted badge of honour. They are Superior and Benevolent and we are Inferior and grateful for that Benevolence. Statues and Monuments The Jews would never have a statue of Hitler in the middle of Israel, yes, he is a part of their history, but he is not to be celebrated. The reason why people build statues and monuments, is to celebrate a person’s positive contribution to society and humanity. We do not build and/or maintain statues and monuments to peo...

This document was for my eyes only, putting my ideas on paper. Outlining my plans for the future, the retirement years. But I decided to share it. Several of my friends and I discussed the possibility of forming a living cooperative alliance in the form of an Isolated, Secure, Remote, and Sustainable Homestead. This is a work in progress and will change over time. I started this document when a real estate agent asked me to write down what I was looking for, where and why, so she could finetune her search parameters. My friends also needed a better understanding of my intentions, to decide if this lifestyle was something they wanted to get involved with. One objective of Permaculture is to design labour out of the process of farming and if we can design labour out of farming then conceptually, we can also design the need for money out of living. A closed loop sustainable system and a change in lifestyle, redefining what makes us happy and content, should allow us to achieve objective...
