Call A Spade The Real Name

Let me say this ....

JAMAICA IS A FAILED STATE

The pundits have had their say, now lets be honest with ourselves. The population in Jamaica is suffering from Crime, Complacency and Corruption.

The term failed state is often used by political commentators and journalists to describe a state perceived as having failed at some of the basic conditions and responsibilities of a sovereign government. In order to make this definition more precise, the following attributes, proposed by the Fund for Peace, are often used to characterize a failed state:

* loss of physical control of its territory, or of the monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force therein,
* erosion of legitimate authority to make collective decisions,
* an inability to provide reasonable public services, and
* an inability to interact with other states as a full member of the international community.

Common characteristics of a failing state include a central government so weak or ineffective that it has little practical control over much of its territory; non-provision of public services; widespread corruption and criminality; refugees and involuntary movement of populations; and sharp economic decline.

The level of government control required to avoid being considered a failed state varies considerably amongst authorities. Furthermore, the declaration that a state has "failed" is generally controversial and, when made authoritatively, may carry significant geopolitical consequences.

Divine Intervention is Required

The only hope for Jamaica is Divine Intervention, it is now the Killing Fields.

What is the meaning of Divine Intervention?
An event that appears inexplicable by the laws of nature and so is held to be supernatural in origin or an act of God: “Miracles are spontaneous, they cannot be summoned, but come of themselves”

I have, on numerous occasions, added my voice, through this blog about the serious nature of crime in Jamaica. I have used the word "war", "domestic terrorists" and "termites" to describe the situation and the mindset of the wanton murders in my country.

Is there any among us with soul so dead who does not assert that this country is my native land? Who has not considered that the future and safety of our land must transcend class, race, political or religious preferences?

Alas, my hope is fading and tears run down my face with a tinge of the blood of my father.

At this point in time, it is hopeless to expect that there will be less than 1400 murders in Jamaica by the end of the year. Whatever protocols are instituted now(2008), will not see substantive results until 2011. In the meantime, it is predictable that some 4000-5000 will die before the Killing Fields are laid red with the blood of our brothers and sisters.

What did the political masters do, in the past decade, to curb the wanton murders?

If anything was learned during the past decade, it is how not to do anything or repeat the same protocols, while expecting different results. That philosophy is the thought process of a idiotic fool.

My God, My God, why has thou forsaken my country.

Jamaica has become un-governable and requires divine intervention.

Il est sans espoir

I have given up any hope of Jamaica recovering from the Killing Fields.

Peace and Walk Good.
