The Resignation of Bruce Golding

On Sunday, September 25, 2011, thre was a banner running
along the bottom of the TV screen, stating that
Bruce Golding had resigned.

Then, a Bulletin cut in, the announcers repeating the
same remark in ten different ways.

Reporters on spot were trying to get information, and
there wasn't any.

The final remarks before the Bulletin ended was that
it May be true.

On Monday, 26th, the resignation was confirmed by
reporters shoving microphones into the faces of
members of the JLP who were leaving a meeting.

Let me make a Contrast here.

In 1992, Michael Manley, then President of the PNP
and Prime Minister, called a private meeting at the
conference centre to which members of the Party
were invited in which he announced his resignation to them.

Subsequently, the Nation was personally informed that
he would resign and that inter party elections would be held.

He knew he 'owed' the nation some sort of explanation,
he knew he owed his Party, those who voted for him some
kind of alert so that the first time they wouldn't hear
about it is when someone rang them up. Or they happened
to hear it over the radio.

If anything proves the complete arrogance and corruption
of Bruce Golding it is the manner in which he resigned.

Over 24 hours and he has not seen it fit to make any
statement to the nation as to why. So Speculation reigns.

Some Labourites say it is because the JLP will never win
another election with him as President and Prime Minister.
This is usually followed by silence then some kind of
touting of another candidate for Party President.

Labourites, especially those veranda sitters who are
so far from any connection to the Party they could
live in Trinidad, refuse to appreciate how the
Jamaican people viewed the stonewalling of the
extradition of Dudus, the lies about hiring Manatt,
then the abrupt about face and sending in the army
to murder the people of Tivoli Gardens, Golding's
constituency.

That Golding didn't see it fit to inform his
Central Committee, his Constituency, his
followers of his intention raises a great deal
of speculation.

Chief among them is the fact that he was
indicted by the same Grand Jury which brought
charges against Christopher Coke as a
'criminal associate'.

Those with good memories may reecall Golding's
threat to sue ABC Broadcasting for slander,
which was quickly forgotten as what they had
reported is true.

That Golding might be resigning as part of a
'deal' formed by the pleading guilty of Coke
is unknown.

What is expected is that after enought people
tell Golding that he is supposed to speak to
the public about his resignation, that he will
come on television and make a bunch of empty
remarks, many not true, then disappear into
the woodwork.

And Labourites, especially veranda sitters,
will sprain their tongues trying to match
pieces which do not fit.

The Owner of the Brain

A large percentage of Jamaicans receive their
opinions from those who stand in Courtyards
outside of Party Headquarters.

Behind the closed doors of the Conference
Room leaders cut and paste and package.
Those who dwell in the Lobby hear what is
selected for them.

Lobby dwellers race into the Courtyard
to spread what they almost heard about
what they don't know.

Those in the Courtyard advise the Country.
(those in the country who have exiled their
minds to the Party), what their opinions are.

Veranda Sitters, those 'stalwarts' who have
never attended a rally, are not listed in
the Membership of the Party, who may, if it
is not too inconvenient, vote for the Party,
will 'run' with what they heard from someone
who spoke to someone who heard if from someone
who was standing in the Courtyard.

1% of the Jamaican population own fully
operational brains. They know 'how it goes'.
They know about Closed Doors, and Lobby
Lurkers, and the mob which teems in the
Courtyard

1% of Jamaicans do their own research, match
their own facts, make up their own minds.

For this 1% the 'revelations' of the Commission
of Inquiry into the 'Dudus' affair contains
little new evidence.

That Dorothy Lightbourne will be sacrificed
has long been expected.

She and Brady were frills. Only Bruce Golding
and his pet Vaz there is no one in the JLP
government who is not expendable.

The Labourites strangle themselves with
their tongues trying to match what they
heard from someone who heard something
from someone who heard it from someone
who was in the Courtyard contra what is
revealed at the inquiry, contra what they
heard last year.

Behind the Closed Doors on Belmont Road
it was long decided that the corruption
inherent in the Extradition request for
Chris Coke would reach as high as
Lightbourne and stop there.

For the past two years she has known her fate.
She has kept herself aback from National Events,
only occasionally making a fool of herself in
Parliament.

She was appointed Minister of Justice because
Bruce needed to control Justice.

She knew from the day she was offered the
appointment she was to consign her soul to
Bruce Golding. She was to do whatever he
demanded, be it legal or not.

Delroy Chuck was pushed out of the fray, made
Speaker of the House, because he would not
sacrifice his credibility to please a hollow
corrupt man.

Clive Mullins was flung onto the backbench
because he would not interpret the law to
match this season's expediencies.

Only Dotty Lightbourne would sell her
integrity for the meaningless title of
Minister of Justice while the office is
a toy of a man who never attended Law School.

Those who get their opinions prepackaged from
the Courtyard do not know that the next
installment will call for Lightbourne's
resignation, hence they continue to bleat
about what they don't know.

Only those with fully operational brains
under their own jurisdiction can appreciate
that from the moment the extradition request
was received Golding instructed his people
to suppress it.

Only the Commish, whose wife worked for
the American Embassy could not pretend he
didn't know.

That is why he was replaced.

From the moment the extradition request was
received Golding made up his mind to do all
in his power to thwart it.

Not for any legal reason, nor ideas of
rights or nationalism, but because he
was afraid of what Dudus might say if
questioned.

Golding hired American law firms, had
various off the record meetings, tried
every form of pressure he could use, to
thwart the Extradition.

He was not protecting just Dudus.
There is a lot Jamaica doesn't know about
Bruce Golding, a lot which may be revealed
at the trial of Dudus.

If Dudus lives to trial.

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.
