MICHAEL MANLEY: A CONVERTED FREE MARKET Capitalist
Michael Manley, a passionate advocate of democratic socialism during the 1970's morphed into an indefatigable defender of unfettered, free market capitalism, upon his ascension to the office in 1989. Manley was a man of his time. In my previous video, I referred to Jamaica's most decorated politician as a political realist. Given the socio-economic realities of the 1990's, particularly after the collapse of the USSR, Michael Manley was compelled to adapt to the social, political and economic realities of the time. Thus, he opted to join forces with the global capitalists. Join me in this fascinating and enlightening conversation.

PURGE In Education: Is EDUCATION an ILLUSION of Reality?
Jeffrey Tucker, at the Brownstone Institute, wrote a brilliant piece about the state of education in the Western world. His pessimistic outlook is what I will be discussing in this video. Has the woke philosophy -- an ideology on which our educational system is based, destroyed the fabric of our educational system? Where do we go from here?

Are US UNIVERSITIES TIED to the DEFENSE DEPARTMENT?
The UK Guardian newspaper published a captivating oped on the control of the US Defense Department over US higher education. This is a debate and discussion that we need to have in light of the polemical debates on the Isreali-Palestinian conflict. Can professors and students at US Universities engage in free and open conversation, or is free speech on US academic campuses controlled?

Edward Seaga: PROMOTER of Unfettered CAPITALISM, 'THUGGERY', and Jamaican 'RUDE BOY' Culture
Former Prime Minister of Jamaica, Edward Seaga, was/ and still remains one of Jamaica's most enigmatic political characters. Much of his life is shrouded in mystery. He was known to some as a skillfull economic guru or wizard, while to some he is known as the AUTHOR of the deregulation and neoliberal economic framework -- economic ideology that has destroyed the Jamaican productive sector, and thus further cemented us into an impoverished country. To some, he is also given the moniker, "CIAGA,"playing on the word that he was an agent of the CIA, in the US effort to destabilize the Jamaican economy.
In my discussion, I referenced, to a great extent, the article written by Horace Campbell, in the online newspaper, COUNTERPUNCH, titled, "Edward Seaga and the Institutionalization of Thuggery..."

Nikki Haley Has The CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT To Declare That Slavery Was NOT The Cause of US CIVIL WAR
The UK Guardian carried an article about Nikki Haley's refusal to declare that the slavery was the principal cause of the Civil War. In this video, I extrapolate on the fact that Nikki Haley has the constitutional to declare that slavery wasn't the cause of the US Civil War. Freedom is a sacred right in the first ammendment to the US Constitution. Why the attack on Nikki Haley? She did not say anything, based on her direct quote, fundamentally erroneous. Yes, she did not provide proper context, but that's the nature of all politicians -- to sell a narrartive to their political audience.

MICHAEL MANLEY: Jamaica's MOST DISTINGUISHED Cold War Warrior
Michael Manley was, or is perhaps, Jamaica's most eminent politician to date. He was charismatic, a great communicator, social justice advocate, among other numerous hats that he gracefully wore. His progressive policies were, however, derailed in the 1970's by an angry US who thought that his social democratic government and policies were aligned to the USSR. Join me as we examine the mettle of this eminent political leader -- one of the finest to have emerged out of the Caribbean.

Reflections on Jamaica's FAUX POLITICO-ECONOMIC Independence
In 1962, most Jamaicans were jubilant as they were about to embark on an independence project/experiment. However, was Jamaica's independence a phony experiment? Were the British authorities willing to pass on the baton of power to a predominantly black population? After 61 years of independence, are we politically, economically and socially in a better condition? Join me as I delve into Ivy League's article, "What Has 60 Years of Independence Done For Us?"

Homeopathic and TRADITIONAL FORMS of Medicine ARE NOT Scientific, The UK Guardian AVERS.
Martha Gill in a piece in the UK Guardian newspaper, "King Charles has appointed a homeopath. Why do the elite put their faith in snake oil?" This article was published on December 17, 2023. The author lambasts and denigrates all homeopaths and naturopaths, including all other traditional forms of medicine. Does Gill have the scientific knowledge and skills to make these egregious statements? Join me in a scintillating discussion, as I dissect the spurious arguments advanced by Martha Gill.

Jamaica and The Cold War: Recipe of a Failed
Jamaica, on August 6, 1962 obtained political independence from Great Britain -- the former colonial master of island. There was great hope that Jamaica would become a developed society, given the fact that it was now given the opportunity to govern its own affairs. Unfortunately, we have not, to date, achieved economic independence, which would have solidified said independence project. Thus, has Jamaica's independence project failed? Join me as I elucidate on Lieutenant Ricardo Tyndale's master's thesis on Jamaca and the Cold War. Tyndale analyzed the negative impact of the Cold War on Jamaica's Independence Project.
