I believe the issue of what our revised constitutional system should look like can be put to a referendum. But before the referendum, there are positions of Former PMs BG and PJ which deserve acceptance. Framing for political advantage is dangerous jamaica-gleaner.com/article/…

My most burning question is whether an Opposition JLP would advance and be comfortable with the constitutional reforms it is advancing as a government? Frankly, I don't think so. Would an Opposition JLP want a PNP Gov to have these extraordinary powers? jamaica-gleaner.com/index.…

An instructive & well-reasoned call to alertness and action. Will Jamaicans respond? Democracy is not destroyed by a single dramatic decision, but by piecemeal, incremental moves which r initially imperceptible to the casual observer. Will we b courageous? jamaica-gleaner.com/article/…

Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.

Can’t stop thinking about how Wall Street is celebrating Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, while he single handedly eliminated humanitarian aid that will lead to the needless deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest children in the world in the next 4 years.

🚨 THE HYPOCRITICAL SCRIPT NEVER CHANGES. 🇨🇺 🇺🇸 ​Marco Rubio and the Washington establishment are running the exact same imperial playbook they’ve used for generations. By aggressively targeting and sanctioning Cuba’s state-owned oil and gas company, Unión Cuba-Petróleo (CUPET), they claim they are fighting for the "freedom" of the Cuban people. ​Let’s strip the propaganda away: it is a calculated blueprint. Starve the population of electricity, deliberately choke their energy sector, blame the domestic government for the resulting chaos, and then pose as the benevolent saviors.

When Obama bombed Libya, the justification was "humanitarian intervention." "Protection of civilians." "Responsibility to protect." The language of international law and moral obligation. Libya was subsequently destroyed. It has open slave markets today. The humanitarian outcome was catastrophic. But the language was immaculate. The syntax was perfect. The suits were pressed and the speeches were moving and the Nobel Peace Prize sat on the shelf while the drones flew. Trump bombs things and says it's about the oil. In terms of honesty, pure, raw, unmediated honesty about what American power actually does, Trump is more accurate than any of his predecessors. This is not a defense of Trump. This is an indictment of everyone who made the polished version seem acceptable. The lie was always more dangerous than the liar currently in office. Because the lie had good manners.

The problem was never Trump. Trump is the readable version of a text that was always there, written in language most people couldn't access. The problem is the system that produced him, that uses him, that will survive him, and that will next time find someone equally willing to do what he does but competent enough to do it quietly. The competent version is more dangerous. The competent version rebuilds the language. Restores the branding. Hires the speechwriters who know how to say "shared values" and "rules-based order" while executing identical policy. And the people who spent four years appalled by Trump's vulgarity will feel the relief of good grammar and take it for moral improvement. The empire doesn't need Trump specifically. It needed what he provided: a stress test. A period of operation without the usual ideological cover, to see what held and what didn't. What held: the sanctions. The bases. The vetoes. The dollar. The weapons sales. The regime change operations. What didn't hold: the manners. And when someone comes along who can restore the manners while keeping everything else, and they will, they always do, the people who thought the problem was the manners will call it a recovery. The rest of us will know what it actually is.

Condolences to Justice Forte’s family and close friends. @MalahooForteMP may God strengthen and keep you and family.

I cannot support Argentina this World Cup, Argentina voted against the Ghanaian led UN March 25, 2026 resolution, known as A/80/L.48, that the transatlantic slave trade and the racial system of enslavement as the gravest crime against humanity #menosupportracists

Albanians just showed the world how it's done. The government was selling off prime coastal land and protected islands to Jared Kushner and linked investors for a massive luxury resort turning public beaches and nature reserves into private playgrounds for the ultra-rich. The people said: HELL NO. Thousands poured into the streets under “Albania Is Not For Sale.” Protests turned fiery. They stormed government buildings and burnt down the Prime Minister’s house. This isn’t just about a deal. It’s about sovereignty. It’s about refusing to let your country be auctioned off to foreign billionaires while locals lose access to their own coastline. When elites sell the nation’s future for kickbacks and luxury resorts, the people have every right to push back hard. Respect to the Albanians for refusing to be colonized by cash. Other countries should be taking notes.

Sharing again my inaugural professorial lecture in which I addressed the issue of investment in education via budgetary allocations etc. I invite review of this youtube.com/live/lGQ0DX9VlAQ…
