The two dominant post-independence parties are once again calling upon our people to elect the Prime Minister already chosen by them. Both potential leaders will be attacking each other on a personal level, sometimes dragging our people down a violent path. Why? It is to gain political power so they can implement an economic policy that benefits the few powerful entities and individuals who have dominated our lives since our political independence. It is worth noting that only 30% of our people voted for both entities, perceiving them as corrupt and failing to deliver basic services and improve the lives of the majority of our population. The truth is that neither can, because they have adopted an economic policy tied to the Western financial system that uses the International Monetary Fund as a weapon to destroy our country's economic potential and progress. Currently, Dr Andrew Holness has shown that he will impoverish our people to satisfy the interests of his ally, Donald Trump, a pathological liar and alleged racist and white supremacist. Mr. Holness will boast about his accomplishments, citing the increase in employment and debt reduction. The Jobs created are low-wage(slave wages) to satisfy the greedy lust of corporate Jamaica, and the debt reduction is done by high taxation on our people. The social impact is well known: the decay of our communities, murders, migration, alienation, prostitution, mental illness, and a failing educational and health system.
WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?
Looking back on our history, it is acknowledged that we defeated a colonial power, which reveals that we are a potentially powerful nation when united. This unity(JLP&PNP) can be recreated to remove this colonial tumor from our body politic. Tribalism was part of a broader strategy, alongside character assassination and a strict allegiance to the Western-led political and economic order. The late Hon Marcus Garvey and Michael Manley were subjected to the character assassination tool fine-tuned by both the British and American interests, with support from our local powerful elites; they are still with us, financing both political entities. It is worth noting that powerful elites and corporate entities exert control over major media houses, which serve as a medium for Western propaganda.
The house cleaning must begin with the removal of Andrew Holness from office at the upcoming election.
Our movement, THE JAMAICA PATRIOTIC MOVEMENT, IS OFFERING CONDITIONAL SUPPORT TO THE PEOPLE'S NATIONAL PARTY to initiate this process of progressive and revolutionary change to the status quo. Mr. Golding, with his legal expertise, must begin the process of constitutional change towards an executive presidency in 2030. Mr. Golding must pursue an economic program to eliminate poverty using the existing talents and natural resources we have. Poverty is the albatross around our people's necks; it destroys most of our youth aspirations, allows our brightest and best to migrate; it can and must be done!! He must renegotiate the IMF agreement; our people cannot pay that debt, governance, and corporate Jamaica created it. He must embark on a state-directed development program targeting housing, healthcare, and a technology-driven education agenda, starting from primary school and agriculture!!
DONALD TRUMP MUST NOT HAVE AN ALLY IN JAMAICA!! ANDREW HOLNESS MUST GO!!
The Jamaica Patriotic Movement will be the movement and voice of the working and poor of Jamaica and implore all patriots to join hands to make sovereignty and independence a reality. 2030 will see the addition of a genuine alternative!!
