Jamaicans must think twice before voting

Jamaicans inherited relatively good parliamentary and sociopolitical standards from Great Britain on Independence in 1962 and the nation’s early leaders, especially Sir Alexander Bustamante and Norman Washington Manley, did excellent jobs in concretising those standards within the island’s values and practices.

However, world geopolitics led to a practical stillbirth for Independent Jamaica as the US Central Intelligence Agency and their cronies inside and outside of Jamaica “mashed up” the country. God bless Michael Manley for giving his life to preserve as much of Jamaica’s sovereignty and heritage as he did. Percival Patterson after Michael and Hugh Shearer and Donald Sangster before him also fought valiantly for Jamaica’s advancement, but other leaders either sold out to Euro-America or remained docile as that empire destroyed the work of Manley and Busta.

In 2011 Jamaica is a certified victim of Euro-American strangulation, evidenced by the top signs of such a state of sociopolitical paralysis. They include subordination to foreign imperial rule, reign of national chaos and “sufferation,” corporate enslavement, and government exploitation. A fifth evidence named religious stagnation requires its own column. As the 2012 general elections approach, Jamaicans must think long and hard about whether casting their votes for either PNP, JLP, or some other political party will be tantamount to digging their own sociopolitical graves.

The bottom line consideration is whether life for the majority of Jamaicans is improving or getting worse year after year following their voting in and out of various governments. The frequency of murders and other crimes, high cost of living and deterioration in moral values and practices join other factors in ensuring that life for the majority of Jamaicans gets worse every year. Albert Einstein once opined that insanity is seen in doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. Going to the polls every five years to “swap black dog fi monkey” has not worked for Jamaicans since Independence. Voting for the PNP and JLP since Michael Manley’s death has been disastrous and if those parties do not undergo massive reform, only a third party can save Jamaica from suffering the fate of Zimbabwe, Haiti or some other country sent to death’s door by Euro-American imperialism.

Modern imperialists differ from Greco-Roman and other dictators in that total global control through technology, corporate slavery and weapons of mass destruction is now their agenda. This writer, through spiritual lenses, sees Euro-American imperialism as comprising four main factors: Satanism, white supremacy, socioeconomic enslavement and mass destruction, all within their demonic New World Order agenda.

Jamaica’s plight must be viewed in this global context and so Jamaicans at home and in the diaspora must actively work for their nation’s deliverance. Without foreign interference Jamaica would have already achieved so-called First World status since Independence. Jamaicans are exceptionally brilliant, talented, productive and resilient, and the natural beauty of their country has been the envy of imperialists since Columbus. Thus, various methods are utilised by imperialists to affect the outcomes of elections in Jamaica.

Seemingly, voting for the JLP or PNP is now only a matter of slower or faster imperial takeover and wreckage. The solution is simple yet gargantuan, as Bob Marley warned in Babylon System; the masses must “rebel”. Not the kind of destructive, fake rebellion that Euro-America is staging in Libya, Egypt and elsewhere, but genuinely standing up for Jamaicans’ rights. That might require refusing to vote, period; or voting for a third party while ignoring the JLP and PNP.

Honest governments do not increase people’s suffering through exorbitant taxes but reduce government size/payroll to improve the welfare of the masses. They do not allow light companies, phone companies, water commissions, banks, and other corporate piranhas to suffocate the masses. It is a sign of how much Jamaicans are suffering when the internet highlights the fable of a dying Jamaican who called the electric company boss to sit on his left and the water company head to sit on his right so as to enact the suffering of Jesus who died between two thieves.

Good governments implement education reform from early childhood to tertiary level to uplift all the people, instead of allowing foreign entities to brainwash the masses. Efficient governments make security of the masses its number one job and seek help from neutral countries like China, Venezuela or Cuba instead of recruiting the same Euro-American wreckers as crime stoppers. Sensible governments do not follow the dictates of foreign imperialists to feed people genetically modified or poisonous foods, spread killer vaccines and implement other dictates to decimate its citizens. Governments should uplift, not oppress their people, and Jamaican governments have been getting away with murder in that regard.

Without the next would-be government players showing credibly how they intend to lessen the economic and sociopolitical sufferings of Jamaicans, why should any Jamaican vote for them?

Wake up, Jamaicans. Voting for the PNP or JLP or any third party that refuses to denounce imperialism is voting for Euro-American oppression. As 2012 approaches, the globalists are increasing their campaign of destruction and Jamaicans will be asked to vote to support their “business as usual” or vote for changes for the better. Conscientious Jamaicans must think twice before voting.
