DEAR JAMAICAN SENATORS:PLEASE SAY NO TO A "PJ" COURT OF FINAL APPEAL
Former Jamaican Prime Minister, PJ Patterson just finished his North American town hall "Caribbean Diaspora Borderless Opportunities” accompanied by Grace Kennedy and Western Union. Opportunities for whom?. Should he be not supporting Diaspora Voting pursuant to constitutional obligation instead of a Caribbean Court of Appeal?
OUR INTEREST AS DIASPORA JAMAICANS CANNOT BE REDEFINED AS A CARIBBEAN INTEREST. The only true Corporate Social Responsibility that Grace Kennedy and Weston Union could Demonstration is to use their vast electronic database to allow Diaspora Jamaicans to be Registered and to Vote in the next General Election from overseas rather than appearing to supporting the denial of our constitutional rights to vote by sponsoring a town hall Event featuring Someone who most people belief is the Shadow Prime Minister of Jamaica and who may have been the chief Architect of the JLPNP alliance to sell-out Jamaica in the emerging neocolonial China presence in the Caribbean.
Jamaica is now officially a "One Party State" engineered by China with the death and silencing of any active oppositions; politically or otherwise through corruptible means and now voting to leave the UK Privy Council for a Caribbean base Court of Final Appeal under a cloud of lies told in silence.
“The cruelest lies are often told in silence. A man may have sat in a room for hours and not opened his teeth, and yet comes out of that room a disloyal friend or a vile co-conspirator to the rape of his country and people. And how many lives have perished because, from pride, or spite, or indifference, or that unmanly shame which withholds a man from daring to betray the desire of greed and self- interest, that at this critical point in our nation’s development, has but hung his head and held his tongue”.
Very dangerous when you can't even built strong institutions at home but you are voting for a Caribbean Court of Appeal. Can't build your house on sand, you need to build first strong institutions at home to project strength and influence outwards.
Far too often Black Nationalism had failed to build strong social, political and economic institutions to protect fundamental rights. National chauvinism is often a pile of quicksand on which our so-called leaders try to rally the masses.
Not to take way from the historical significance of the Haitian Revolution of 1791-1804, but change has to come from deep within you: a lesson from the Haitian Revolution or else we are only creating little "papa doc's" when people's fundamental rights are not being respected by our leaders who amass huge wealth at the expense of the people and then move to France.
Despite its triumphant victory over Neapolitan French Army on Haitian Soil and the first to enshrine the conception of fundamental rights and freedom in its constitution Haiti also produces one of the longest reigning and brutal dictatorship in the Caribbean. “Papa Doc” went to France with his stolen $US billions. I have witnessed over the last few weeks these groups popping-up all over social media talking about transforming Jamaica and the Caribbean through their so-called change agendas, as if change has now become a commercial slogan; “Caribbean Diaspora-Borderless Opportunities”, but all what they are talking about is change they can live with....
“Change you can live with” is no change, this is just "shuffling the deck", when however you change the cards, at the core of real leadership and governance are fundamental values and principles which governs how you with POWER relate to and treat those who are less powerful and using your position of power to embed these core values and principles into institutional and capacity building such that they become the core philosophy of the heads and people who are running those institution upon which the powerless depend on for the protection of fundamental rights, justice, social and economic equality.
