Mutabaruka Show

I was listening to Mutabaruka's show and I was wondering if politicians just get up and decide that they do not care about poor people or they originally wanted to help people and get corrupted by the system. 

I wanted to become a politicians but I realise sometimes about politics is that people protect their own. Rich politicians don't really value the opinion of poor / intellectual politicians like me. The rich always get what they want and poor politicians have to just follow so that them can eat a food or them stand up for poor people and lose out. 

My family always worry about what I write, I tell them it's the least of their worries because most of the people I write about don't read so I am not worried about them. 

What I am really interested is if politicians intentionally exploit poor people's hopes and dreams or does it just happened during the course of things and they are unable to alleviate it so they leave it make it escalate. 

Here are some ideas. 

Put a ban on imports and force importers to buy local produce. 

Give incentives for farming, Entreprenuers and young people with brilliant ideas. Kids should not have to fend so much to develop their ideas . 

 

A world of talented People

There's one thing that Talent competitions have taught me and is that we have a melting ofimmensely,talented people undiscovered who give us a glimpse into their lives. So many people out there who will die and never realized their dreams. A plethora of unearthed talent waiting for an opportunity to shine. Diamonds in the rut, being kicked around like rock stones. Waiting for an expert on precious gems with a keen eye for jewellery  to discover them and unveil their worth to the world. 

Violence begest more Violence in Jamaican fight against crime

Murder is murder anyway we look at it. Whether from police viewpoint or a gun man. we must endorse the validation of every human being life. death is absolute, whether a bad man kill you or police...you cannot give back a man's life when you take it, try as hard as you may. we should not be moving towards a society where the least difference or conflicts we have with people we a pree to kill them. The police might be frustrated with the crime situation and I am a hundred percent behind them in the fight against violence but they too should understand it is a fact base on the social trends we have that violence only begets more violence. The Police officers are the proponents of law and order but they too are not above the law. They must be held accountable for their actions also when it violates what is regarded by their Job descriptions.


Police been killing people from I was child and the murder rate only escalates. It signals that we need a socialisation intervention for our children and a social reform campaign to influence and tweak the mindsets of our adults...until then we will only be killing alleged bad men and creating more in the process...crime is not a morality per se issue, it is an economical issue.In a country with so many churches, violence should not be so prevalent but who am I kidding, Muslim rebels are very violent and passionate about their religion that emphasises peace.

Since my cousin was killed, I stop every little boy and engage them in a conversation about what took place that morning. I point to the reasons why they cannot afford to align themselves with the wrong people, thereby devaluing their lives and putting themselves at jeopardy. Hyping about how you a bad man will get you a temporary respect out of fear from your community but it is a death sentence if it reaches the ears of the Police. Crime is not an attractive element. Violence should not be source for social importance and Validation.


We have a very prejudicial society because as long as you are poor and you come from certain place you a criminal and if you a defend your friends and your family then you must be in liege with the criminals.Only poor people are held accountable for their actions. A boy was mauled by a vehicle for a politician yesterday or so and the man reported his vehicle missing two hours after the accident. if you not from a certain cadre of society. YOur life no worth nothing, you thnink if gussy was some big politican or establish rich people son, him coulda dead so...some a unoo will say.."same way'''. but we know this law is only for the poor and not the rich...

Some people in our society are like spectators at a game. They stand on the sidelines and them see everything that is wrong with the players technique. Put them in the game and them cant do a thing. If some of these people who like to hurl mud at the Ghetto people would come live down here for a month, I doubt them could survive it.

Most so call intellectual people and rich people don't buss ghetto youths and that is a fact. If I could count on my hand how many people with money I know or people in positions who could offer a helping hand and most of them would rather steal my ideas than invest in my aspirations. If my daughter hungry, I cannot beg them cuz them don't have it, now if I was say a male and violently inclined what would that leave me to do...?

JAmaica's First Online Community Library

It has been a dream for me to create a virtual platform where kids in Jamaica can go and do researches and get information to assist in their school work from the comfort of their homes. 

So I managed to create a community website that will feature access to free Ebooks, data and tools that will help students maximize and improve their grades. 

Children from all age groups can benefit for the online portal. 

We have a .net, .com and a .info extension that is host a library  platform, an information page and a members platform. 

Gussy community Hero or Social Pariah?

"“I believe that you're great, that there's something magnificent about you. Regardless of what has happened to you in your life, regardless of how young or how old you think you might be, the moment you begin to think properly, there's something that is within you, there's powerwithin you, that's greater than the world. It will begin to emerge. It will take over your life. It will feed you. It will clothe you. It will guide you, protect you, direct you, sustain your very existence, if you let it. Now, that is what I know for sure."

~ Michael Bernard Beckwith

Yesterday was reserved for cleaning up Gussy's grave spot. 

We had several discussions On Gusdy yesterday. We never see one man grave spot clean up so fast or so much people volunteering. Since some people think you somehow deserved to die then tell me why are so many people uniting and validating your life. Even the supt and indecom visited. Influential people in our community who don't associate with known criminals grabbing raker tick, five wackers, lawn mowers and offering cow, goat and hog to celebrate the life of a social pariah?????

 A lot of people rate "Gussy" because he had money. I respected and valued his character😋.he was ambitious and driven to success and he worked in tandem with everyone, he was also very kind. He had aspirations and goals to become someone truly upstanding in our community. It is for this reason why his death by the agents of law and order is such a riveting tragedy.

A man whose son was gun downed by unknown assailants wept in woes for Gussy and he was also very vocal about the killing of Checky. He quite vehemently spoke about a very tragic consistency we noticed in our community and that is of good people who could contribute to the growth of our communities dying by the hands of violence. 

Checky who build a gym, emphasizing health and exercise vitality to our society was cut down like a notorious murderer and his friend a bystander shot several times. 

In our discussions we emphasized the culture of hitmanism in Jamaica because that's the main reason the crime rate going up. It is because bad mind people, those with vicious minds and morbid inclinations can readily find any Likkle ediat bwoy with a gun to hire and kill people. 

An Assasination is evil on a different tier. How could I not knowing someone, go and take his/her life because someone paid me to do so. We really have a decay in our emotional fortitude in this country. Some people like to pretend that it's only Ghetto youths bloodthirsty and walk up and down murdering people. 

I keep saying that Gussy was no saint but then again Jesus says, he who is without sin cast the first stone...it is unfortunate that people capable of and committing worst atrocities than those he was accused of are allowed to be alive and walking our streets. And they rained stones down on you. 

The director for indecom said something rather crucial yesterday. He opined that everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die. People clamouring for justice yet no one is willing to put their lives on the line to see that justice is serve and that is one of the greatest handicaps to having a peaceful society.

"Most people think, 

Great god will come from the skies, 

Take away everything 

And make everybody feel high. 

But if you know what life is worth, 

You will look for yours on earth: 

And now you see the light, 

You stand up for your rights. jah!"

-Bob Marley

“There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.” 

― Martin Luther King Jr

“Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it.” 

We are Jamaicans, not JLP or PNP!
