Jamaican Till I Die!

Do Jamaicans really want access to their own beaches? If over 5000 people can show up for one free Krispy Kreme donut and only 20 shows up to protest access to beaches, then one wonders what are the priorities of the Jamaican people. It was not because they are hungry why 5000 showed up for Krispy Kreme donut but because Krispy Kreme donut is a foreign import and they are culturally conditioned to love imports.  Progressive People, creates progressive political parties, who go on to form Progressive Governments. Progressive People then engages their Progressive Government to implement Progressive Nation Building Policies. The problem is, Jamaicans are no longer a Progressive. Jamaican are no longer Nation Builders. Nation Builder requires a certain type of people, people who are unselfish, people who put the wellbeing of the many and the future of the country before their own selfish greed. There was a time when one could drive along our coastal roads enjoying the unspoiled...

  Sharing below written by a Malaysian YouTuber a while back: I’m from Malaysia. China has traded with Malaysia for 2000 years. In those years, they had been the world’s biggest powers many times. Never once they sent troops to take our land. China's admiral Zhenghe came to Malacca five times, in gigantic fleets, and a flagship eight times the size of Christopher Columbus’ flagship, Santa Maria. He could have seized Malacca easily, but he did not. In 1511, the Portuguese came. In 1642, the Dutch came. In the 18th century the British came. We were colonised by each, one after another. When China wanted spices from India, they traded with the Indians. When they wanted gems, they traded with the Persian. They didn’t take lands. The only time China expanded beyond their current borders was in Yuan Dynasty, when Genghis and his descendants Ogedei Khan, Guyuk Khan & Kublai Khan concurred China, Mid Asia and Eastern Europe. But Yuan Dynasty, although being based in China, was a part o...

Inside most Black Americans are Over Privileged white MAGA Karen's trying to get out.  The future of Black people globally and the Black World Order, can only come out of Africa. It cannot come from the Black American or Black Britain. N or can it come from the Caribbean because we are too small and too poor. Africa must unite, Africa must grow up and Africa must defend its position and people or else we will fail. Globally black people must unite around Africa! Until then, we will all be at the mercy of the White Western Word Order!  During a recent debate I declared that if you think those poor abused BLM Black American think any different to white America, then think again. Inside most Black Americans are over privileged white American Karen's trying to get out. Then all hell broke loose and I was banned from twitter for that statement!  It is the view of some Jamaicans that once some Black American visits the developing black and brown third world, they become wh...

Italy Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni Goes Viral Again After Niger Coup - ... I am not a fan of coups unless that coup is used to get rid of murderous dictators. The problem with coups is that it is difficult to tell if they are progressive, have the support of the people and the people's interest at heart. Most coups are done for selfish reasons by power hungry people who are almost always violent and corrupt.  The problem with modern elections is that they are normally hijacked by wealthy, powerful special interest groups who can manipulate the process and control the narrative. They can make people vote against their own interest. For example, if rich powerful France wants a certain candidate in Niger to win an election, then they just throw money at it and use their superior influence to control the narratives, spread misinformation and manipulate the electoral process. Under these conditions, I would support a progressive coup with a quick transition to democratic elections with...

Published: Friday | May 24, 2019 | 12:00 AM Gleaner photograph In 1927, the Hermitage Dam (with a capacity of 460 million gallons) was built by the Kingston and St Andrew Corporation to meet the domestic water needs of Kingston and St Andrew. Due to advancing deforestation, over 100 rivers dried up on our little island in the 20th century. In my first column of the new millennium (in 2001), I predicted that the big issue of the 21st century would be water. As population increases, we will need more clean water, yet at the same time, we destroy our watersheds for fuel wood and charcoal and to build houses; and we advance the pollution of the little clean, fresh water we have left. On top of this, climate change is deepening, producing extreme weather events (longer droughts and more violent hurricanes). I predicted that if we did not do something soon to protect our water resources, and to increase the capture and storage of clean domestic fresh water, we would no longer be either the l...

Windrush: A Family Divided Released On: 12 Jun 2023Available for over a year In the second part Robert and Jennifer Beckford unravel the intricate layers of the Windrush legacy through the prism of identity and culture. Robert argues that moving to the UK was a transformative experience for not only the Windrush generation but for the whole of British society, helping create a new vibrant British culture. He cites the influences of Caribbean heritage people in music, film, sport and language in Britain. To help make his case he asks Jennifer to meet with Jamaican born England footballer John Barnes. In contrast, Jennifer asserts that Caribbean culture in the UK is defined by stereotypes and the communities achievements in science and industry are overlooked and they received a hostile environment in return. She asks Robert to meet with Barbara Blake-Hannah - the first female black news reporter in the UK, who went back to Jamaica after just eight years, due to racist abuse. Robert and ...
