WHERE IS THE LEADERSHIP ?

Anthony Gomes’ Article in Wednesdays Observer Titled “Heads con­tin­ue to roll with impuni­ty in Jamaica” Was par­tic­u­lar­ly potent and instruc­tive. Gomes raised the issue that the Jamaican Government and crim­i­nal sup­port­ers would much rather see left alone. Mister Gomes effec­tive­ly point­ed to the fact that Jamaica is in fact pre­vent­ed from car­ry­ing out the will of the peo­ple in exe­cut­ing vio­lent mur­der­ers by the United Kingdom Privy Council. Even as that body seem to be con­fused about what should con­sti­tute an under­stand­ing of cap­i­tal mur­der. Mister Gomes stat­ed quote: The major­i­ty deci­sion by the Law Lords almost sounds like a play on words, with­out due con­cern for the inno­cent life that has been extin­guished. http://​www​.jamaicaob​serv​er​.com/​c​o​l​u​m​n​s​/​H​e​a​d​s​-​c​o​n​t​i​n​u​e​-​t​o​-​r​o​l​l​-​w​i​t​h​-​i​m​p​u​n​i​t​y​-​i​n​-​J​a​m​a​i​c​a​_​1​6​3​8​7​320. 

Incidentally that is not just the men­tal­i­ty of the far removed Privy Council, which by the way could­n’t care less about crime in Jamaica. It is also the view of the pre­ten­tious pseu­do bour­geois elites in Jamaica. The (neva si cum si)

Jamaica is spi­ral­ing out of con­trol because the will of the People have been cir­cum­vent­ed for decades. Many Jamaicans have effec­tive­ly refused to take part in the process, this is a mis­take. This enables the idiots to fill the vac­u­um they leave. The result is that Jamaicans are now being led by the stu­pid­est in the soci­ety. Apathy is not a viable solu­tion, yet it is under­stand­able in a coun­try with such a high rate of illit­er­a­cy. Progressive intel­li­gent peo­ple feel over­whelmed by the hoards of illit­er­ates, look­ing for noth­ing more than a bel­ly full. In National Elections held December 29^th 2011 reports from the Electoral Office of Jamaica indi­cates that only just over 50 per cent of the entire vot­ing pop­u­la­tion vot­ed on Election Day 2011. This low vot­er turnout may have thrown off the pre­dic­tion of opin­ion polls to some extent. The win by the PNP shocked even its lead­ers, such as Peter Phillips who said that “the results cer­tain­ly exceed­ed our most opti­mistic sce­nar­ios. http://​en​.wikipedia​.org/​w​i​k​i​/​J​a​m​a​i​c​a​n​_​g​e​n​e​r​a​l​_​e​l​e​c​t​i​o​n​,​_​2​011.

You can’t make these facts up. The PNP did not expect to win, they knew they had screwed the Country Royally and did not deserve to be hand­ed the reins of Government again any­time soon. Someone com­ment­ed recent­ly that all the good peo­ple have left Jamaica, that is not true. The major­i­ty of the Jamaican peo­ple are still decent good peo­ple, they have just cho­sen to remain silent in the face of this scourge that was unleashed on their way of life. They feel pow­er­less to do any­thing about it, so they remain silent.

In the process of remain­ing silent they allowed the entire Jamaica to be infect­ed with the men­tal­i­ty of Saint Andrew South Western .

The Country slides deep­er into bank­rupt­cy dai­ly. Jamaica’s debt stood at a stag­ger­ing Jam$1.7 tril­lion in 2012. The Leadership is not only incom­pe­tent it is cor­rupt. They are vir­tu­al­ly untouch­able by law enforce­ment. The Courts which was once seen as a bea­con of hope stand­ing between the two bands of crim­i­nals in both sides of the polit­i­cal divide, is now from all appear­ances wal­low­ing in the mud of cor­rup­tion. It is a vis­cous self-per­pet­u­at­ing cycle which feeds on itself. The top is dirty, the lawyers are hav­ing a field day defend­ing the crim­i­nals brought before the courts. They know if cer­tain mea­sures are adopt­ed crime will dras­ti­cal­ly decrease. It is no won­der that tri­al lawyers in Jamaica are hell-bent against the rule of law.
