The Reverand Al Miller
there are more churches in Jamaica than Rum Bars.
And there are a Lot of Rum Bars in Jamaica.
The usual Church is what is called 'Pentecostal'
which means there's a loud mouthed preacher
babbling crap over a mic to frightened
illiterate sluts and putz in the audience.
It is not a church where knowledge of Scripture
is necessary. It's a church designed to suck
people in and give pastor a source of income.
Anyone can be a Pentecostal Minister.
I say all this to set the scene for Al Miller.
Who is this Reverand?
He's a loud mouthed preacher as corrupt as they
come. He has a large following and is quite
wealthy.
He likes attention so does and says everything
he can to get the cameras in his face.
He made himself the Chaplin to the football
team, because this was a good way to get attention.
The Prime Minister, not known for his integrity,
appointed this guy to a virtual integrity
commission to deal with Values and Attitudes.
This Commission met in the Prime Minister's Office.
When Al Miller was stopped on the road by the
police, playing chauffeur for Chris Coke...yes,
that Chris Coke, known as Dudus, wanted by the
Police, the subject of an Extradition Request
since August 2009, he told a facile lie.
That it was a lie was evident.
Firstly, for him to be 'bringing in a fugitive'
without telling anyone is not something one does.
One informs some high enough ranking police
officer,who then will inform the others, and
all arrangements are made to receive the accused.
The Commission of Police; Ellington, spoke to
his Officers to prove this was not done.
Clearing, Ellington is not part of the
'Inner Circle' and either doesn't know that
there is an Inner Circle, or does and
pretends he doesn't.
This Act alone is probably what will advance
his dismissal at some later date, because what
Al Miller does is sanctioned by the Prime
Minister.
That Dudus wore a silly wig suggests some
kind of disguise was deliberately used.
And one wonders how many other times as
Al Miller played chauffeur for Chris Coke.
The 'taking him to the American Embassy'
was on the face of it a lie, as the Embassy
closes very early in the day, this was
four p.m. and no one at the Embassy was
aware of this visit.
That Al Miller was subsequently charged
is a paean to the police. Uually, people
of his stature are not charged, and their
only use of the police is as body guards and go-fors.
Al Miller actually resigned his position
in the Integrity Committee.
This is the most shocking part of the
whole story.
This seems to suggest that there is some
sense of right and wrong within him, unless
the PM told him to do it, and he obeyed.
The prosecution is going after him with the
level of rightness; having established the
above points.
If he is convicted it will be a slap on the
wrist, because he is Al Miller.
Surely above the law.
Just another day in a failed state.

Oh Goody, We passed the IMF Test!
The Managing Director of the IMF is coming to Jamaica.
Oh Joy!
The Prime Minister is gloating.
We've passed our tests!
The JPS is running around cutting off the lights for
poor people, there are no jobs, prices have gone up
and businesses are failing.
Oh Goody!
We passed the IMF Test!
Business people can't find cash. Where 20k was nothing
to them five years ago, they have to pay that out in
tranches.
Everything is knife edge.
Managers man cash registers because they can't afford
to hire another worker.
Professionals are fighting over jobs they wouldn't of
sniffed at years ago, teaching courses here and there so
they can pay their light bill.
But we've passed the IMF Test!
Billions of dollars down the drain on building a highway
but figuring to recoup by charging exorbitant tolls, but
the highway is sinking.
Nurses and Teachers and Police complain about their pay
contra prices, and the government had no money.
But we passed the IMF Test.
I'm so thrilled.

Onward to Facism
When a government feels threatened, the reaction
is often to strip civil rights from those who
speak out.
The press is often excluded; information
carefully packaged before release. Laws passed
to make reporting on certain issues illegal.
Lawyers are often constrained by various
regulations to keep them from their clients,
or from viewing certain proceedings so that a
trial is more show than real.
Bills are placed before Parliament which will strip
rights from citizens in return for better 'security'.
The term 'security' has been used by every fascist
state as their reason for assuming more power.
This 'temporary' condition lasts forever, and people
become accustomed to having less rights. Taking the
constriction as the price they pay for safety.
The Bruce Golding government is a textbook example of
the genesis of a fascist state.
By refusing to extradite Chris Coke in August of 2009,
Golding granted carte blanche to those supporters of
Coke who needed to firm up their control of various areas.
Crime increased and it seemed that the police were
'powerless' to do anything, as the communities chosen
were often remote.
Why Golding protected Coke from August 2009 to May 2010
will be uncovered in time. Speculations abound, many
close to true.
When Golding decided to go after Coke, it was not
Chris Coke qua Chris Coke he was going after.
It was to create a situation in which he could declare a
State of Emergency and gather more power to his chest.
The public, frightened by events had made the less aware
believing civil war eminent so were pleased to get a
State of Emergency.
A clownish PNP MP named Sharon Hay Webster actually
requested one be engaged in her constituency.
This is to prove the efficacy of creating a situation of
fear and then offering unnecessary force to suppress it.
Fortunately, the six crime bills that Golding had desired
to pass (which is part of the reason why the Coke situation
was created)were defeated, because there are still those
with working brains in Jamaica, who 'got' the facts right.
The lies being fed to the Jamaican people by the
Minister of Information, Douglas Vaz are not eaten.
This is because Golding does not appreciate that
every time Vaz goes to lie he breaks eye contact and twitches.
The viewing public sees this and knows that what is
coming out of Vaz's mouth is garbage.
As Golding has a dearth of useful flunkies, he appoints
a rabid rat, Dwight Nelson, as his Minister of Security.
This is a guy so physically pathetic one knows he has
never held power before so will behave as one can expect
from an angry victim.
Golding's plan is to suspend elections. He's softened the
public up with the Coke debacle, and will, in about a
year, have another incident, which will allow him to
avoid calling elections, so he can cling to power and
fill his pockets even further.
Rather odd that the PNP left office with full coffers,
and within 18 months of Goldings arrival they were empty.
Now that Chris Coke is out of the picture, there are
others Golding will go after. Fortunately, he stays
amongst his own followers as he appreciates going after
PNP supporters will result in opposition.
Keep your eyes on Jamaica.
You are seeing how it begins, how it is fed, and will see
how it manifests, as Jamaica joins Zimbabwe.
