A Joint Select com­mit­tee of the Jamaican Parliament is present­ly look­ing at the Nation’s Buggery Law . Jamaica main­tains crim­i­nal penal­ty for men who engage in male to male sex­u­al Intercourse.

Former Prime Minister Bruce Golding was hound­ed out of Office after telling a British Journalist in 2008 that there would be no Gays serv­ing in his Cabinet. The state­ment drew strong con­dem­na­tion from Homosexual groups around the World. One Canadian group Egale Canada threat­ened that if the Bruce Golding-led admin­is­tra­tion did not announce plans to abol­ish the country’s laws on homo­sex­u­al­i­ty , it would launch a cam­paign to ban Jamaican goods in the inter­na­tion­al mar­ket­place as well as a boy­cott of tourism”. In essence they threat­ened Economic Terrorism of the Jamaica Economy if the Jamaican peo­ple did not bow to Homosexuality. Not to be out­done David Cameron the British Prime Minister announced Britain would begin with­hold­ing aid from gov­ern­ments that do not reform leg­is­la­tion ban­ning homo­sex­u­al­i­ty;. Yes, Economic Blackmail if Jamaica and some Aftican Nations refused to sur­ren­der their prin­ci­ples on the demon­ic Alatr of Homosexuality.

August 27^th 2009 Jamaica’s Foreign Affairs Minister Kenneth Baugh con­firmed that the US Government had for­mal­ly request­ed the extra­di­tion of influ­en­tial Tivoli Gardens don and busi­ness­man, Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke. Conspiracy or coin­ci­dence? You decide. Regardless of your deci­sion , Bruce Golding was done as Jamaica’s Prime Minister. Done in, not by the Coke issue, but Homosexual pow­er and money.

Elections were Constitutionally due by the end of December 2011. During a Televised Debate with Prime Minister Andrew Holness Opposition Leader Portia Simpson Miller affirmed that a Miller Administration would revis­it the Country’s Bugger Laws. Money and much more poured into Jamaica for the jad­ed People’s National Party and it’s Leader Simpson Miller.

December 29^th 2011 the PNP was returned to pow­er by a land-slide.

The PNP which was out of office a mere 4 years after an unprece­dent­ed 18 ¹⁄₂ years ‚jad­ed and out of ideas, was back in office much to even their surprise.

TIME MAGAZINE declared Jamaica’s Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller“one of the 100 most influ­en­tial peo­ple in the World”. Don’t look at me, it’s a real­ly small World.

We have now come full cir­cle . Simpson Miller for the first time finds her­self upside down in the Polls. The much pop­u­lar, mod­est­ly tal­ent­ed Simpson Miller have always enjoyed a tremen­dous degree of good­will from the Jamaican pub­lic. In part because of her Party’s suc­cess­es at the polls, in part because of her gen­der, and part because of her per­sona as a daugh­ter of the soil . Miller did not come from the Mulatto upper caste.

The Jamaican peo­ple are now dis­gust­ed with her lead­er­ship, if the lat­est GLEANER com­mis­sioned Bill Johnson’s Polls are to be believed,. For the first time in her Career, her unfa­vor­ables out­weigh her favor­ables. This is very seri­ous for the Ruling PNP ‚which has ruled Jamaica for 28 of the last 40 years. Simpson Miller’s pop­u­lar­i­ty is the only Horse to which they can hitch their Wagon.

Opposition Leader Andrew Holness enjoys 43 per cent sup­port, while Simpson Miller’s sup­port stands at 35 per­cent. A 8 per­cent­age point lead can be be a wipe out if Elections were held today. Elections are not Constitutionally due until September 2015,but the Prime Minister can call an Election if she feels it is in her Party’s inter­est to do so. In light of her stand­ings in the polls ‚we do not expect an elec­tion any­time soon.

WHAT WE HAVE GOTTEN IS NOW A SELECT COMMITTEE LOOKING INTO THE BUGGERY LAWS.

The PNP are mas­ter strate­gists, they have beat­en the JLP at the Election game because they take noth­ing for grant­ed. They take full advan­tage of every pos­si­ble open­ing. Could this Committee hear­ing, at this time, be a cyn­i­cal ploy to muster sup­port and resources from the Homosexual com­mu­ni­ty ? The PNP know full well the vast major­i­ty of Jamaicans oppose chang­ing the Buggery Laws. Why would they be hold­ing hear­ings when they know how the pub­lic feel on the issue?

Jamaica is a Sovereign Nation . Our Country has a right to deter­mine that it does not want Homosexual Marriage. We reserve the Right not to accept that it is nor­mal for two men or two women to be mar­ried. We reserve the right to main­tain our Christian prin­ci­ples enshrined in the holy Gospel of Jesus Christ, that Marriage is between a man and a woman. We reserve the right to main­tain those rights and prin­ci­ples with­out coer­cion, threats and intim­i­da­tion. Without sab­o­tage or subterfuge. 

We reserve the right to main­tain what the major­i­ty of Jamaicans believe. That we want to main­tain crim­i­nal sanc­tion for homo­sex­u­al sex. We do not hate peo­ple who prac­tice homo­sex­u­al­i­ty. We sim­ply believe it is wrong , we believe it is un-Godly. We do not sur­ren­der the rights to our beliefs, so that homo­sex­u­al unright­eous and las­civ­i­ous desires may be accom­plished. The Jamaican peo­ple do not assume to dic­tate to oth­er Nations how they may live. As Jamaicans we expect the very same respect.

I sup­port our peo­ple on this prin­ci­pled stand . I sup­port the Church as it keep a watch­ful eye to ensure that elect­ed offi­cials do not abro­gate or cir­cum­vent the direct wish­es of the Jamaican peo­ple. The Jamaican peo­ple will not go look­ing into peo­ple’s bed­rooms to see what they do in the pri­va­cy of their homes. They just do not want to repeal the Buggery Law. We do not believe we should open the door of Homosexual immoral­i­ty on our Nation. The homo­sex­u­al com­mu­ni­ty has pow­er­ful monied and influ­en­tial prac­ti­tion­ers and sup­port­ers in high places . They will be mar­shal­ing their forces with a view to forc­ing Jamaica to sur­ren­der to their dic­tates . They threat­ened us before.

It is a long fight, we should expect to fight, in the inter­est of our principles.

Yasin Abu Bakr, Leader of the the Radical Trinidadian Muslim group Jamaat al Muslemeen was on Wednesday denied entry into Jamaica . Jamaican Authorities speak­ing through Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Crime Glenmore Hinds, con­firmed that Bakr was in fact denied entry into Jamaica. In 1990, Abu Bakr led more than 100 of his fol­low­ers in a coup attempt against the ANR . The Robinson-led National Alliance for Reconstruction Government. They stormed the Parliament and held the Prime Minister and his Cabinet hostage. Bakr then took to National Television and declared that he in fact had car­ried out a coup. He told Trinidad that he was in nego­ti­a­tions with the Army.

Bakr and his cronies beat and shot Prime Minister Robinson after he urged the Army to attack Bakr and his band of Traitors. In the end Bakr and his men sur­ren­dered after nego­ti­at­ing a deal with the Military. Bakr was arrest­ed and charged. Despite Some 24 lives lost dur­ing the coup attempt, includ­ing that of mem­ber of par­lia­ment Leo Des Vignes, a Kangaroo Appeals Court upheld an amnesty which was offered in exchange for their surrender.

Since being released Yasin Abu Bakr, has not been able to stay out of controversy .

Eleven days after the ⁹⁄₁₁ ter­ror­ist attack on the Twin Towers in New York City, Abu Bakr was detained and inter­ro­gat­ed by police at London’s Heathrow Airport while on his way to an Islamic con­fer­ence in Libya. That same year Florida Police uncov­ered a plot to smug­gle 60 rifles and 10 sub-machine guns to the Bakr’s Muslim group in Trinidad. 

Jamaican offi­cials have con­firmed Bakr was loud and bois­ter­ous when he dis­cov­ered that he would not be allowed to enter the Country. Jamaican Law Enforcement have since moved Bakr to an undis­closed loca­tion until he can be sent back to his native Trinidad. Airline per­son­nel report­ed­ly expressed fear for their safe­ty were Bakr to be returned on the next flight to Trinidad.

In a Country where incon­se­quen­tial guar­an­tees made to mur­der­ing Terrorists would not be hon­ored by a Tribunal, this street Thug would have long been exe­cut­ed for Treason, along­side his cronies. Jamaica has more than enough prob­lems deal­ing with it’s own local thugs , includ­ing those being deport­ed hav­ing com­mit­ted seri­ous crimes in oth­er countries.

The Jamaican Administration denied Bakr entry on the grounds he is a threat to National Security. Jamaica may not be able to keep the destruc­tive cor­ro­sive influ­ence of the likes of Bakr from our shores, but it cer­tain­ly can pre­vent any sym­bol­ism his per­son may convey.

Rome — In the Church’s mes­sage on the occa­sion of the World Day of Peace, Pope Benedict XVI stat­ed that “There is a need to acknowl­edge and pro­mote the nat­ur­al struc­ture of mar­riage as the union of a man and a woman in the face of attempts to make it juridi­cal­ly equiv­a­lent to rad­i­cal­ly dif­fer­ent types of union… …since this con­sti­tutes an offence against the truth of the human per­son, with seri­ous harm to jus­tice and peace.”

Co-Founder of the Everyone group Italy Roberto Malini wrote a scathing Article on the Website http://​www​.tol​er​ance​.ca/.

Titled : Pope Benedict XVI pro­motes hatred towards Gays.

A few days before, the pon­tiff had received with full hon­ours at St. Peter’s, the President of the Ugandan Parliament Rebecca Kadaga, the pro­mot­er of the law against homo­sex­u­al­i­ty in Uganda, which pro­vides for the repres­sion of homo­sex­u­al­i­ty and penal­ties rang­ing from heavy prison sen­tences up to life impris­on­ment, and even cap­i­tal pun­ish­ment for gays.

This is an atti­tude marked by hatred and con­trary to the Holy Gospel, as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. EveryOne Group, Gays Without Borders and civ­il soci­ety are now launch­ing a com­plaint against this incite­ment to dis­crim­i­na­tion and hatred. It is also impor­tant to ask the bish­ops to dis­so­ci­ate them­selves from this dis­crim­i­na­to­ry position.

The Catholic Church has returned to the Middle Ages. Below is a brief his­to­ry, with some inci­dents of homo­pho­bic per­se­cu­tion. The Emperor Justinian, the pro­tec­tor of the Catholic Church, estab­lished the death penal­ty for homo­sex­u­als and pur­sued them along­side the Gentiles and the Jews.

The Monk Pier Damiani led a cru­sade against homo­sex­u­al­i­ty, the foun­da­tions of which are con­tained in the Liber Gomorrhianus, writ­ten in 1049.

One of the statutes of Bologna in 1257, on the Societas Sancte Marie, estab­lished the death penal­ty, by burn­ing at the stake, for homo­sex­u­als and for those who host­ed them in their homes. There were more fires in Switzerland for the vici­um sog­domiticum, in the thir­teenth century.

At Clermont, in France, gays and heretics both per­ished on the stake. In the 14^th Century the city of Rome burned homo­sex­u­als, while Florence pre­ferred to cas­trate them. Gays and les­bians were burned in Padua from 1329 and lat­er all over Italy, where peo­ple watched the tor­ture of inno­cent peo­ple as though it were pub­lic enter­tain­ment. Punishment was no dif­fer­ent in Rimini under the “enlight­ened” Malatestas. Identical per­se­cu­tion occurred wher­ev­er the author­i­ties and the papal guards dis­cov­ered rela­tions between per­sons of the same sex.

The Florence of the Medici was a lit­tle less severe: author­i­ties issued fines for the first three homo­sex­u­al rela­tion­ships dis­cov­ered, while for the fourth, they decreed the death of the “repro­bate”. Francesco Sforza in Milan reward­ed with a cash prize the cit­i­zens who denounced gays and les­bians, who were then burnt at the stake.

It has been a ter­ri­ble per­se­cu­tion that has stained civ­i­liza­tion and influ­enced cul­ture, tra­di­tions and reli­gious wor­ship through­out the cen­turies, pre­vent­ing artists, poets and thinkers rep­re­sent­ing homo­sex­u­al­i­ty as a nat­ur­al expres­sion of pas­sion and love, and count­less human beings from liv­ing their nat­ur­al incli­na­tions in peace, with­out fear of pub­lic humil­i­a­tion, tor­ture and death.

The his­to­ry books that chil­dren read in schools fail to men­tion this per­se­cu­tion of homo­sex­u­als through­out his­to­ry: this too is homo­pho­bia. The Church’s hands are stained with the blood of so many inno­cent homo­sex­u­als and it is unac­cept­able that it still aims to be the cham­pi­on of one of the most hor­rif­ic atroc­i­ties in human history.

EveryOne Group and Gays Without Borders are call­ing on the UN and the Council of Europe to pub­licly con­demn the inap­pro­pri­ate words spo­ken by the Pope, to invite the Catholic Church to under­take a path of respect for the LGBT com­mu­ni­ty, and to stop their sup­port for pro­mot­ers of a crim­i­nal law.

Pope Benedict XVI announced on Monday February 11^th 2013^th that he will resign the Papacy, effec­tive February 28^th, cit­ing his declin­ing health. “I have had to rec­og­nize my inca­pac­i­ty to ade­quate­ly ful­fill the min­istry entrust­ed to me,” Benedict wrote in a state­ment. He is the first pope since 1415 to resign the Papacy. 

On on 13 March 2013 Jorge Bergoglio an Argentine Cardinal with Vatican Citizenship was elect­ed Pope. Borgoglio chose the Title Francis XVI . See http://​en​.wikipedia​.org/​w​i​k​i​/​P​o​p​e​_​F​r​a​nci

Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, S.J., Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Argentina, Ordinary for Eastern-rite faith­ful in Argentina who lack an Ordinary of their own rite, was born on 17 December 1936 in Buenos Aires.

He stud­ied as and holds a degree as a chem­i­cal tech­ni­cian, but then chose the priest­hood and entered the sem­i­nary of Villa Devoto. On 11 March 1958 he moved to the novi­tiate of the Company of Jesus where he fin­ished stud­ies in the human­i­ties in Chile. In 1963, on return­ing to Buenos Aires, he obtained a degree in phi­los­o­phy at the St. Joseph major sem­i­nary of San Miguel.

June 26^th 2014: The Vatican issued this state­ment in a 75 page Document a work­ing paper of Catholic Bishops.

The Roman Catholic Church must be less judgmental of homosexuals and, while still opposing gay marriage, should welcome children of gay couples into the faith with equal dignity, a Vatican document said.

http://​www​.inde​pen​dent​.ie/​w​o​r​l​d​-​n​e​w​s​/​e​u​r​o​p​e​/​c​a​t​h​o​l​i​c​-​c​h​u​r​c​h​-​m​u​s​t​-​b​e​-​m​o​r​e​-​t​o​l​e​r​a​n​t​-​o​f​-​h​o​m​o​s​e​x​u​a​l​s​-​v​a​t​i​c​a​n​-​3​0​3​8​7​3​0​8​.​h​tml

While Vatican offi­cials have stressed that Church teach­ings against homo­sex­u­al activ­i­ty would not change under pres­sure of pub­lic opin­ion, the doc­u­ment said “many respons­es” called for “the­o­log­i­cal study in dia­logue with the human sci­ences to devel­op a mul­ti-faceted look at the phe­nom­e­non of homosexuality”.The bish­ops will dis­cuss the paper in October and could make rec­om­men­da­tions on changes to Church teach­ings, on which the Pope would decide.

Gay rights groups were esta­t­ic on Monday October 13^th 2014, in a draft doc­u­ment from a group of bish­ops and priests sug­gest­ed the church could be more wel­com­ing to the gay com­mu­ni­ty. “Homosexuals have gifts and qual­i­ties to offer to the Christian com­mu­ni­ty,” they wrote. “Are we capa­ble of wel­com­ing these peo­ple, guar­an­tee­ing to them a fra­ter­nal space in our communities?

CNN Snarled, quote: The Catholic church can’t have it both ways on gay rights.

Either it must take steps to accept gay and les­bian peo­ple as part of its flock — includ­ing them as full mem­bers, embrac­ing their unions, decry­ing Catholic schools that fire gay and les­bian teach­ers and call­ing for the full pro­tec­tion of LGBT peo­ple around the world. Or it can go back to empha­siz­ing its con­dem­na­tion of homo­sex­u­al acts as “intrin­si­cal­ly dis­or­dered,” as it does in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The cur­rent mid­dle ground — with church lead­ers say­ing “homo­sex­u­als have gifts and qual­i­ties to offer the Christian com­mu­ni­ty,” but not ful­ly embrac­ing them as equal humans in the church and under the law — is unsus­tain­able and dangerous.

What does the Bible say about Homosexuality?

Romans 1−26−28.

For this rea­son God gave them up to dis­hon­or­able pas­sions. For their women exchanged nat­ur­al rela­tions for those that are con­trary to nature; ²⁷ and the men like­wise gave up nat­ur­al rela­tions with women and were con­sumed with pas­sion for one another,men com­mit­ting shame­less acts with men and receiv­ing in them­selves the due penal­ty for their error.28 And since they did not see fit to acknowl­edge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.

1 Corinthians 6:9 – 10 — “Do you not know that the wicked will not inher­it the king­dom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sex­u­al­ly immoral nor idol­aters nor adul­ter­ers nor male pros­ti­tutes nor homo­sex­u­al offend­ers nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunk­ards nor slan­der­ers nor swindlers will inher­it the king­dom of God.”

1 Corinthians 6:11 — “And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanc­ti­fied, you were jus­ti­fied in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.”

1 Timothy 1:10 – 11– The sex­u­al­ly immoral, men who prac­tice homo­sex­u­al­i­ty, enslavers, liars, per­jur­ers, and what­ev­er else is con­trary to sound doc­trine, in accor­dance with the gospel of the glo­ry of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.

1 Corinthians 7:2 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

Jude 1:4 . For there are cer­tain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this con­dem­na­tion, ungod­ly men, turn­ing the grace of our God into las­civ­i­ous­ness, and deny­ing the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jude 1:7 . Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like man­ner, giv­ing them­selves over to for­ni­ca­tion, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an exam­ple, suf­fer­ing the vengeance of eter­nal fire.

Jude speaks par­tic­u­lar­ly harsh about Homosexuality . Jude select­ed strong lan­guage to con­vey the seri­ous­ness of the charge fac­ing the church. Allowing Homosexuals into Christian fel­low­ship with­out apply­ing the same stan­dards of admis­sion , with com­plete Repentance , and an acknowl­edge­ment that the prac­tice of Homosexuality is an abhor­rent sin, as is the stan­dard applied to oth­er sin­ners, will be the spir­i­tu­al death knell for the church. Repentance is the major action a sin­ner must take to be accept­ed into the fam­i­ly of God.

On May 9^th 2012 President Barack Obama announced he was in sup­port of Homosexual mar­riage. Mr. Obama was the first sit­ting U.S. pres­i­dent to pub­licly sup­port gay marriage.His pre­de­ces­sor George W Bush affir­ma­tive­ly stat­ed that mar­riage was between a man and a woman. Obama’s Vice President Joe Biden had pre­empt­ed his boss by announc­ing his sup­port ear­li­er for gay marriage.

This leads us to ask, why did Pope Benedict sud­den­ly decide to step aside? What does this mean as it relates to Biblical Prophesy? The answers are in the Scriptures. Romans 1:26 – 28 For this rea­son God gave them up to dis­hon­or­able pas­sions. For their women exchanged nat­ur­al rela­tions for those that are con­trary to nature; ²⁷ and the men like­wise gave up nat­ur­al rela­tions with women and were con­sumed with pas­sion for one another,men com­mit­ting shame­less acts with men and receiv­ing in them­selves the due penal­ty for their error.28 And since they did not see fit to acknowl­edge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.

We are in the end time, already busi­ness-peo­ple are being per­se­cut­ed for their prin­ci­pled stance against Homosexuality. Coming soon they will begin the process of tak­ing away tax exemp­tion from Churches whose lead­ers refuse to mar­ry Homosexuals.

Then they will begin to make Criminals of Pastors who refus­es to mar­ry Gays. It will be shroud­ed under the guise of human Rights. What it will be is per­se­cu­tion of the Christian Church in sup­port of the hedo­nis­tic , las­civ­i­ous and demon­ic prac­tice of Homosexuality.

The day is fast approach­ing when Christians will not be able to stand against the sin of homo­sex­u­al­i­ty with­out risk­ing Imprisonment or death. When we see these things how­ev­er we know that our redemp­tion draweth nigh . Thus sayeth the Lord.

Murder in Jamaica is a way of life. Over the last sev­er­al years Jamaica aver­ages approx­i­mate­ly 2.5 homi­cides per day.

With a pop­u­la­tion of 2.7 Million the chances of get­ting killed at any giv­en time is a real cause of dread for the aver­age Jamaican. The like­ly-hood of get­ting killed increas­es dra­mat­i­cal­ly if you are a return­ing res­i­dent, or if some­one gets the idea that you have a few dol­lars in your pockets.

Contract Killings are not inves­ti­gat­ed prop­er­ly, even on the rare occa­sion a Principal trig­ger-man is held account­able. This leaves the brains behind the scenes to go ahead and kill with­out consequence.

It is now time to enhance the process by allow­ing deals with low-lev­el crim­i­nals if they coöper­ate with Investigators and Prosecutors.

Merely rob­bing a vic­tim is not enough, in many cas­es peo­ple are killed even when they com­ply with demands to hand over their prop­er­ty. Killing vic­tims is the norm mere­ly par for the course, or just for the hell of it.

A new Police Commissioner was recent­ly appoint­ed in the per­son of Carl Williams a PhD. We salute Williams and wish him the best even as we are mind­ful that mere­ly putting Willimas a superbly edu­cat­ed indi­vid­ual in charge will do very lit­tle to Curb crime.

It is great to see a PhD head­ing the JCF,not because I believe it makes much dif­fer­ence in the effec­tive­ness of the Department. But that it silences the Island Nation’s Bourgeoisie. At least Williams will be heard , Jamaicans are heav­i­ly invest­ed in Titles.

William Bratton who heads the NYPD the World’s largest Police Department of 46,000 Officers does not have a PhD .

In fact, nei­ther is Chief of Department Phillip Banks, though he holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Lincoln University, and is a 2001 grad­u­ate of the Police Management Institute at Columbia University, and also attend­ed Harvard University.

My point is, it hard­ly is how well edu­cat­ed the Top tier of a Police Department is. It nev­er was. It is about a few oth­er things.

(1 A decid­ed mind­set that Crime will not be tol­er­at­ed, nur­tured, or supported.

(2 Passing laws which puts crim­i­nals in Prison and keep them there.

(3 Supporting Law Enforcement Officers in the Lawful Execution of their duties. While mak­ing it clear that abuse of Power and crim­i­nal con­duct will not be tolerated.

(4 Ensuring that Politics has no part in Law Enforcement.

(5 Improving the Criminal Justice System.
(6 Eliminating bases of sup­port for crim­i­nal con­duct by attach­ing seri­ous penal­ties for those who aid and abet crim­i­nals. No dis­tinc­tion should be made between those who are Principals and those who aid and abet.

(7 Train, equip, and pay Officers,while hold­ing them accountable.

Jamaican streets con­tin­ue to run red with the blood of the inno­cent. The killings con­tin­ue because crim­i­nals know they will get away with it when they kill. Even when they are known fear pre­vents any­one from com­ing for­ward. This brings up anoth­er require­ment. Police can no longer depend on eye­wit­ness­es to solve crime. Eyewitness accounts , once thought to be infal­li­ble is now proven to be fal­li­ble. We must improve our Scientific approach to Crime Fighting.

The Government is com­plic­it, at least by default, when it does not do enough to bring cal­lous mur­der­ers and Rapists to Justice. For over four decades this men­tal­i­ty has been the norm. Zones of Political Exclusions were cre­at­ed with a view to keep­ing one Party or the oth­er in Power. Those Zones of Political Exclusions are also Zones of Refuge for known Criminals.

Until this prac­tice is stopped and Law Enforcement has a free hand to do it’s job, Jamaica will remain in the top five most like­ly place to get your­self killed.

So I walked into my favorite cof­fee-shop today, the same Dunkin-Donut I vis­it on my way to work dai­ly, except when my wife makes me a cup of cof­fee. The line was long, sur­pris­ing for a Sunday afternoon.

No one seemed to be in a rush, after all it’s lazy Sunday, not exact­ly the Monday morn­ing rush crowd.

As I stood in line wait­ing, I real­ized that most of the peo­ple on-line had their smart phones out, no prob­lem of course. Not at all, peo­ple need some­thing to occu­py their time while they wait. 

What irri­tat­ed me a bit, was real­iz­ing that the rea­son I was  in the same place with­out mov­ing was that the guy giv­ing his order at the head of the line was try­ing to find his order in his smart device. It got me thinking.

There is real­ly noth­ing wrong with using a smart device to store your infor­ma­tion, not at all. What is a prob­lem, is when the device becomes your brain. Am I alone in think­ing that as the devices become smarter ‚many on the con­sumer end are becom­ing less so?

Okay, you are skep­ti­cal, but when you inter­act with the pub­lic dai­ly you get a feel for what I am actu­al­ly talk­ing about. People with smart Devices, unable to tell their phone num­ber. Unable to tell their Cell and inter­net provider. Unable to tell how much they pay each month. That’s a problem.

Not only are peo­ple unable to mem­o­rize the most basic per­son­al infor­ma­tion, it seems we are less able to make sim­ple deci­sions. The pur­chase of a sin­gle piece of Electronic device has to be pho­tographed, a thou­sand ques­tions asked and that infor­ma­tion beamed across hun­dreds ‚some­times thou­sands of miles of Oceans sev­er­al time before a pur­chas­ing deci­sion can be made.

I got to won­der­ing what would hap­pen if we go off-line for a day, make that a week ?It’s not out of the realm of what’s pos­si­ble, tech­nol­o­gy depends on Satellites being in place with­out inter­fer­ence. Properly func­tion­ing Networks deliv­er Data to us at record speed, so much so we for­get to use our Brains as a stor­age device. What if some­thing hap­pens which caus­es all of that free-flow of Data to come to a sud­den stop, what then?

Just a thought !

Head of the Secret Service Julia Pierson has resigned. Just yes­ter­day White House Spokesman Josh Earnest mouthed the lines “The President has con­fi­dence in Julia Pierson to do the job” less than a day lat­er Pierson was done.

Obama accept­ed her res­ig­na­tion. So much for con­fi­dence! We applaud the deci­sion of the President to accept her res­ig­na­tion, it is one thing to give some­one a chance to do a job . It is anoth­er thing when seri­ous breach­es as the ones doc­u­ment­ed ‚hap­pen over and over again.

This is not about whether one likes the President or not . It isn’t even a mat­ter of who the President is at a giv­en time. The President of the United States and his fam­i­ly deserves the high­est lev­el of secu­ri­ty. What hap­pened under Julia Pierson was unten­able. Had she remained it would have been impos­si­ble to rebuild trust in the Agency.

On the appoint­ment of Julia Pierson, many includ­ing Major Media Houses crowed that Piersons ele­va­tion meant a break­ing up of the old boys club. Frankly I am not sure what that means. People should be hired to do the job they are qual­i­fied for and which they are able to do do. It does­n’t mat­ter what gen­der that per­son is.

Despite the crow­ing she was not up to the job, lets hope the next per­son who takes on that seri­ous role, male or female will do a bet­ter job than what occurred on Pierson’s watch.

Yet more shock­ing Revelations com­ing to light in the ongo­ing Saga sur­round­ing the Secret Service and the Security of the President of the United States and his fam­i­ly. New Information com­ing to light reveals that the recent laps­es involv­ing the Secret Service may be just the tip of the Iceberg.

The Washington Post Reports :

A secu­ri­ty con­trac­tor with a gun and three pri­or con­vic­tions for assault and bat­tery was allowed on an ele­va­tor with President Obama dur­ing a Sept. 16 trip to Atlanta, vio­lat­ing Secret Service pro­to­cols, accord­ing to three peo­ple famil­iar with the incident.

President Obama was not told of the lapse in his secu­ri­ty dur­ing his trip. Director Julia Pierson , accord­ing to two peo­ple famil­iar with the inci­dent, took steps to have the mat­ter reviewed inter­nal­ly and did not refer it to an inves­tiga­tive unit that reviews vio­la­tions of pro­to­col and stan­dard. The inci­dent, which rat­tled Secret Service agents assigned to the president’s detail, occurred as Obama vis­it­ed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to dis­cuss the U.S. response to the Ebola cri­sis. The pri­vate con­trac­tor aroused the agents’ con­cerns when he did not com­ply with their orders that he stop using a phone cam­era to video­tape the pres­i­dent in the ele­va­tor, accord­ing to the peo­ple famil­iar with the inci­dent. The man was also act­ed odd­ly, the peo­ple said. Agents ques­tioned the man when they exit­ed the ele­va­tor, and then used a nation­al data­base check to learn of his crim­i­nal history.

When a super­vi­sor from the firm pro­vid­ing secu­ri­ty at the CDC approached and dis­cov­ered the agents’ con­cerns, the con­trac­tor was fired on the spot and agreed to turn over his gun — sur­pris­ing agents, who had not real­ized he was armed dur­ing his encounter with Obama. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R‑Utah), who first heard of the break­down from a whistle­blow­er, said he was appalled at the inci­dent. The Washington Post con­firmed details of the event with oth­er peo­ple famil­iar with the agency’s review. “You have a con­vict­ed felon with­in arm’s reach of the pres­i­dent and they nev­er did a back­ground check,” Chaffetz said. “Words aren’t strong enough for the out­rage I feel for the safe­ty of the President and his family.

Chaffetz added: “His life was in dan­ger. This coun­try would be a dif­fer­ent world today if he had pulled out his gun.”

It is the lat­est in a string of embar­rass­ments for the Secret Service, whose direc­tor, Julia Pierson, drew crit­i­cism Tuesday from law­mak­ers in both par­ties dur­ing a com­bat­ive hear­ing that focused on her agency’s secu­ri­ty laps­es. The hear­ing focused on a man who was able to foil Secret Service offi­cers by jump­ing the White House fence Sept. 19 and also a 2011 shoot­ing at the res­i­dence that the Secret Service failed to iden­ti­fy and prop­er­ly investigate.

The ele­va­tor inci­dent exposed anoth­er seri­ous break­down in the Secret Service’s safe­ty pro­to­cols: this one meant to keep the pres­i­dent safe from strangers when he trav­els to events out­side the White House. In close quar­ters or small events, when the pres­i­dent is on the road, all of the peo­ple who could have access to him must be checked in advance for weapons and any crim­i­nal his­to­ry. In response to a ques­tion at the hear­ing Tuesday, Pierson said she briefs the pres­i­dent “100% of the time” when his per­son­al secu­ri­ty has been breached. However, she said Tuesday that has only hap­pened one time this year: soon after Omar Gonzalez jumped over the White House fence Sept. 19 and was able to burst into the man­sion. A Secret Service spokesman said the agency would pro­vide a response soon. Some ele­ments of the Atlanta inci­dent were first report­ed Tuesday after­noon on the Washington Examiner’s web­site. The secu­ri­ty con­trac­tor became upset with agents who asked him to stop film­ing the pres­i­dent with his cam­era phone, behav­ior that led agents to ques­tion him.

Under a secu­ri­ty pro­gram called the Arm’s Reach Program, Secret Service advance staff run poten­tial staff, con­trac­tors, hotel employ­ees, invit­ed guests and vol­un­teers through sev­er­al data­bas­es, includ­ing a nation­al crim­i­nal infor­ma­tion reg­istry, and records kept by the CIA, NSA and Department of Defense, among oth­ers. Anyone who is found to have a crim­i­nal his­to­ry, men­tal ill­ness, or oth­er indi­ca­tions of risk is barred from entry. Local police and fed­er­al offi­cers are not checked in the same way under the Arm’s Reach Program, with the Secret Service pre­sum­ing they meet the safe­ty stan­dards because of their employ­ment. But pri­vate secu­ri­ty con­trac­tors would be checked, two for­mer agents who worked on advance plan­ning for pres­i­den­tial trips said.

Two for­mer advance agents said that, for near­ly every trip, some­one would be barred from attend­ing or par­tic­i­pat­ing in a pres­i­den­tial trip because of some pri­or or cur­rent prob­lem found in a check of their name. Usually, it involved a local Democratic or Republican par­ty cam­paign vol­un­teer who was offer­ing to help dri­ve staff to and from events dur­ing the vis­it – but had an assault conviction.Former and cur­rent agents say this method is

For weeks the Nation has been inun­dat­ed with News about the National Football League, there is no escap­ing the con­tin­u­ous bar­rage of con­dem­na­tion for Ray Rice who punched his fiancé Janay Rice ]née Palmer. Just today a group of female Lawmakers in the State of New Jersey renewed calls for the fir­ing of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Where are these Feminist Ideologues now that the Nation’s 44^th, and first African American President and his fam­i­ly seem to be sub­ject­ed to abject care­less­ness and incom­pe­tence at the least and at worse much more ? Clearly Julia Pierson is not up to doing this Job. It should come as no sur­prise that the President can­not come out against the Secret Service, he has to depend on them to pro­tect him and his fam­i­ly for the rest of their lives. It falls on the Congress to pro­vide the nec­es­sary oversight .

Where is the oversight?

Why does Julia Pierson still have this job ? Is she up to the job? Was that female Agent who was run over by Omar Gonzalez up to the job? What if the President or any mem­ber of his fam­i­ly was in the vicin­i­ty of Gonzalez’s path? Why was any­one not known to the Secret Service allowed on an ele­va­tor with the President of the United States? Why are quo­tas and polit­i­cal cor­rect­ness allowed to trump the safe­ty and secu­ri­ty of the President?

In a World where men dare not ques­tion the capa­bil­i­ties of women to do cer­tain jobs, these are the con­se­quences. Where are the calls for this woman to be boot­ed from this posi­tion, where she is clear­ly in over her head.. Why put a woman in a posi­tion where she would be over-run and obvi­ous­ly unable to react? What will be the price paid before this polit­i­cal cor­rect­ness non­sense end. Obama for his part is one of the Chief pro­po­nent of this out of con­trol polit­i­cal cor­rect­ness which will invari­ably have dire con­se­quences for the coun­try. Judging from Pierson’s con­fus­ing respons­es and the sequence seri­ous laps­es by the Secret Service,including on over­seas trips. One is left to won­der at the real dan­ger to this President and his fam­i­ly if an attack was well coör­di­nat­ed and exe­cut­ed by a group of peo­ple who know what they are doing!!

This is a seri­ous breach of secu­ri­ty as ever, if ever there was one. Yet there is an almost deaf­en­ing silence . Where is the out­rage How can an Agency with a man­date to pro­tect the Nation’s Chief Executive fail so dis­mal­ly and the head stays intact? What will have to hap­pen before Julia Pierson is boot­ed from this job and a com­pre­hen­sive Review done to ensure that these things nev­er ever hap­pen again, Irrespective of who the President is?

Only time or a seri­ous event will tell.

The much ignored sto­ry of Omar Gonzales a 42 year old Iraq Veteran who scaled the White House fence ran across the Lawns and entered the res­i­dence of the President of The United States is now gath­er­ing steam. CNN now reports.The man who jumped the White House fence ear­li­er this month and breached the mansion’s doors actu­al­ly made it far­ther than orig­i­nal­ly thought, offi­cials said Monday.

Officially thought by whom? What was the offi­cial report giv­en about this inci­dent? Why would it require a whis­tle-blow­er to tell a Politician, Utah Republican Jason Chaffetz a mem­ber of the over­sight com­mit­tee that Gonzalez ran through much of the main floor, past a stair­way that leads up to the first family’s res­i­dence, and was ulti­mate­ly stopped at the far south­ern end of the East Room. He also reached the door­way to the Green Room, an area that looks out on the South Lawn. New infor­ma­tion sur­faced that one Secret Service Agent was over­pow­ered by Gonzalez before he was ulti­mate­ly sub­dued. The Secret Service had pre­vi­ous­ly stat­ed that Gonzalez was stopped after enter­ing the front door of the North Portico. Why would the Secret Service delib­er­ate­ly lie about this? Chaffetz con­firmed the details of what now appears to be a wild chase through the main floor of the White House, first report­ed by theWashington Post.

Chaffetz a Republican could not miss an oppor­tu­ni­ty to play pol­i­tics how­ev­er , say­ing quote: “I could not be more proud of the indi­vid­ual agents, but I wor­ry that Director (Julia) Pierson and the lead­er­ship there at the Secret Service is fail­ing them,”. It would have been a mod­ern day mir­a­cle had a Republican dealt with a seri­ous issue with­out resort­ing to politics.

I’m not sure what Jason Chaffetz knows about secu­ri­ty, what I do know is that no one should be proud of those Agents who were work­ing that day. All of them who were involved let the President his fam­i­ly and ulti­mate­ly the Country down. It is incom­pre­hen­si­ble that any Security Officer worth his/​her train­ing would allow an intrud­er to breach the fence , sprint across the Lawn and enter the home of the leader of the free world with­out tak­ing him out. To those talk­ing about the restraint, I say “bull”. Where was the restraint when they shot Miriam Carey?

This was not restraint. What hap­pened was an egre­gious dere­lic­tion of duty ! Gonzalez was armed with a knife, accord­ing to reports. For all those Agents knew he could have had a gun, he could have had a bomb. What if he had a bomb strapped to him­self and a tim­ing device. This is beyond seri­ous. The President and his Family could have been there, they could have been hurt or worse. This is as seri­ous a breach as ever in this Agency’s long list of foul-ups in their mis­sion to pro­tect the first fam­i­ly. Never have we heard of this lev­el of care­less­ness and incom­pe­tence in the pro­tec­tion of an American President.

Which leads us to ask whether this is incom­pe­tence or is there some­thing else going on? Can we even trust this ver­sion of events when there has been so many dif­fer­ent sto­ries com­ing from that Agency?

To sug­gest that Gonzalez suf­fers from PTSD is beside the point. Miriam Carey was suf­fer­ing from Post Partum Depression and she is dead. Restraint is being legal­ly jus­ti­fied in killing but refrain­ing from doing so because it is avoid­able. When you have a duty to pro­tect the President and his fam­i­ly and you allow that kind of breach to occur it is not restraint. It is incompetence.
