We who have the knowledge have a duty to warn and keep alerting Jamaica about the actions, snares, motives, and strategies of those who seek to push Jamaica back into the Stone Age. Beware of the ‘stone-agers’! These vipers must not win.
Is the governing JLP working hard but remaining stationary? Whose house is it building? One of the Achilles heels of the governing party is that it has spent far too much trying to satisfy individuals and entities whose raison d’être is its destruction. This is a waste of time.
The State must stop genuflecting to those who want backwardness for the majority while they live high on the hog. Know this, their children often attend some of the best schools. They enjoy access to the latest technology, and they live in some of the best neighbourhoods locally.
😒 condolences to his family
