    It has long been Western “First-World” policy that simpler “developing” nations bow down to them and rely on them for so-called aid.
    Real improvement and development is forbidden. That’s what they call spreading Liberty and Democracy.

    I definitely agree with you deezire22, but I don’t think Jamaicans got this message. It would take in-depth explanation and broadcasting for us to get it.

    How to create a failed state: alienate the citizens who can drive your economy, glorify “the people” who cannot provide jobs, run your banking system, hospitals, or urban infrastructure. Utilize political thuggery. Mr. Cahill and Ms. Grange clocked it. There are more of us abroad running other country’s hospitals, chairing other country’s university faculties, practising other country’s laws, managing other country’s banks, and doing other country’s business. And none of us are coming home.

    listen the Hon. former jamaican Prime Minister was a handsome, charismatic man however he was instrumentat in destroying the country’s economy by devaluating the jamaican dollar and isolating jamaica from the US, hence the outstanding loans due to the IMF. listen socialism cannot work in Jamaica it will never work we need capitalism. or we will eat rotten rationed chicken like the Cubans! think about that would you like if your government seizes your land and home.

    The Manley era was a tough one but had it not been for the covert and structured plot that lead (led) to its failure, Jamaica would have been much better off today.
