Jamaica Droughts and Water Lock offs

Image
Jamaica’s Aging Water Systems Falter Under Population Growth, Construction,  Intense Heat and Drought Long before Jamaicans declared war on the environment, when Kingston and St. Andrew were a greener city with a much lower population size, our water harvesting, storage and distribution infrastructure was not efficient enough to effectively survive drought and supply us with water. It was never fit for purpose. These days, Kingston, and St. Andrew has changed because we declared war on every inch of greenspaces, converting single family homes with beautiful green yard spaces into Gated Concrete Townhouse Compounds. If you build it, they will come and they are a coming. We are now building for the Global diaspora.  Construction of Hermitage Dam began in 1924 and it was inaugurated on 4 May 1927. It was developed to solve a 1927 problem. According to the 1921 census of Jamaica, the total population of the parishes of Kingston and St Andrew (KSA) was 118,309. In 1927, the Hermita...

Jamaica Normalize Crime and Corruption

Image
Jamaicans are very selective when it comes to corruption, crime, criminals, and victim outrage. We love to pretend that we are outrage about corruption but for the most part we are not. Jamaica as a society normalized various aspect of corruption and crime, it is seen as an opportunity and all depends on who is the perpetrator, who is benefiting and who is the victim. I once wrote that I had to cut down all the fruit trees in my yard because I was tired of coming home finding people in my yard and up my trees. Based on the response I got from some, one would think I went into the yard of the people who were in my yard and cut down their food trees depriving them of a meal. I became the criminal for cutting down my own tree and they, the invaders of my yard became the victims. We give cute names to crimes we love Scamma and Choppa, and worship community dons, warlords, and Scammers because they are seen as providers for the ghettos. The people respect the fact that they came from nothin...

The Destruction of Devon House Court Yard

Image
There was never an issue with the historical heritage site Devon House. What we have however is an issue with the people of Jamaica. Jamaica is overpopulated with too many shallow semi-literate, ignorant simpleminded people, who know the price of everything and the true value of nothing. In their eyes, concrete is seen as progress, as they overcompensate for various life traumas and lack of intelligence. Preserving our historical sites does not mean bulldoze it and concrete it over, that is not preserving but destroying the historical and heritage nature of the site. When it comes to historical sites, we are trying to freeze that moment in time. We are trying to take people on a journey through time. Old original historical heritage sites are supposed to be old and out of date by nature, you colossal semi-literate, ignorant muppets!  That is why in most developed countries it is almost impossible to make changes to historical sites, the process is long and hard. In places like the ...

All Hail Queen Elaine Thompson-Herah and King Asafa Powel

Image
“ The Government issued new protocols on how the ordinary simpleminded public should behave when they are in the presence of Track Royalty Elaine Thompson-Herah and Asafa Powel. The Public is advised that when in the presence of these Royalties, to get on their knees and bow with their faces firmly in the dirt.The public is also advised not to make eye contact with the Special Ones and only get off the ground when they are at least 50 meters away. Anyone found engaging with the Specials Ones will be publicly whipped! The national laboratories are also testing the Special Ones excrements to see if it can make Patty. All Hail Queen Harah and King Asafa! ”  Their Podcast was an attack on the Jamaican people. Personality is everything, I have the utmost respect for people who achieved in life, be all they can be and remain humble, nice people. Up until now I had no problem with Elaine Thompson-Herah and Asafa Powel, until I watch this podcast then I realize their personality suck becau...

What is Required for you to feel Happy and Content?

Image
I often wonder what would be required for a person to feel Happy and Content. I know what makes one person happy and content, may not make another person happy and content. We might all live in the same country or on the same street or even in the same house, but we all have different life experiences, or we can interpret the same life experiences differently. For the most part our society conditioned us to believe that access to a continuous stream of increasing wealth and material goods is what is needed for a person to be happy and content. Children are being conditioned to equate material things with love. For example, some might think that they are loved, if their parents buy them the new iPhone and without it life is not worth living.   What I realized is that this conditioning is often the main source of our misery and unhappiness. No matter how much increasing wealth and material goods we accumulate. It is never enough and adds more complexity to our lives. The fear of...

Nation Building Legacy lost

Image
I have been following several offspring's of our rich, famous, and powerful Movers and Shakers. Historically the apple did not fall far from the tree, because offspring's normally follow in their parent’s footsteps, you know that Norman to Michael succession process. A lot of the modern-day offspring are the most useless and worthless bubbleheaded ditzy set of people floating around Jamaica.  People with big powerful last names who are supposed to be the next generations of Nation Builders, Movers and Shakers and all they do is keep up the most almshouse in life. Some spend their days and nights on social media creating Reels and TikTok rubbish. Talking about how they are social media influencers. Who the frack can you influence with the ditzy, simpleminded, bubbleheaded contents you produce?  They are the most disappointing set of Jamaicans, because they have access to massive amount of resources needed to make a difference in our society and economy. Instead they are on soci...

The British Empire, Colonialism and Turmeric Tories

Image
The UK is still running on wealth generated and extracted from Colonization and Slavery. Just imagine, from India alone the UK extracted about $45 trillion during the period 1765 to 1938. All over the Empire the UK was able to extract enormous amount of wealth, importing resources on the cheap, over 250 years of free slave labour, while exporting finished products from the UK, on the high. Slavery and Colonization was like fuel to the Industrialization of the UK and why it became the biggest economy in the world. In 1870 around quarter of the global Manufacturing output was in the UK. Cambridge University - The estimates suggest that these trades grew substantially over the period, reaching a magnitude equivalent to about 11% of the British economy by the early nineteenth century What did invasion, conquering, subjugating, genocidal murder, slavery and colonization mean for European and their descendants? For Europeans and their descendants , Slavery was to wealth, what the Big Bang wa...
