Man Saved After Coming in Contact With JPSCo Wires?

I got this video tonight, and from the video, it seems that a painter came into contact with electrical wires. This is something that I have warned people about for many years. Under no condition should you work close to JPS electrical wires. You should not work with metallic objects that can make contact with the wires.

Persons who are attempting to rescue someone who is in contact with electrical wires should not attempt to hold that person unless they are properly insulated.

What's Happening - November 19, 2024

What The Hell Happened In Halfway Tree This Afternoon

I just got a report that there were challenges in Halfway Tree this afternoon, but I have been unable to get any further details from citizens or the police.

However, I received this video shown below, which tells a story:

Bark Di Trute Supporter Thanks JPS

I must thank the staff and heads of the various organizations who have been very responsive when matters are brought to their attention. Last week I brought a matter to the attention of the JPS, and they jumped on this one quickly. I know some issues are still outstanding for the JPS, so I am asking my readers to update me on these matters.

Are We Ready For A Strong Earthquake?

I have been talking with a few people about Jamaica's earthquake readiness. Most people feel that we are not ready. Recently, we heard in the news that a stairway on a building at Torrington Park collapsed. Imagine if we had an earthquake; probably all those buildings would have collapsed and the occupants killed.

One knowledgeable person about earthquake matters said if there was a tsunami after the last tremor in Jamaica, then persons on the north coast would not have been able to escape the tsunami's wrath. The tsunami could have reached our north coast in about half an hour. He said that a tsunami travels about 400 miles per hour.

My understanding is that when there is an earthquake, the Earthquake Unit at the UWI first informs the Ministry of Agriculture. I presume the responsible minister would be informed, and then he would prepare a statement for release. This bureaucratic system is similar to the cumbersome procurement system in Jamaica. By the time a political leader gets to tell the people, the people on the coast would be covered by a few meters of water.

One person asked, how would we evacuate Portmore if a tsunami was going to hit that area?

I don't know the answer to that one!

The People Speak - Tuesday, November 18, 2024

The following are some messages I have received from my Bark Di Trute supporters. Some of these issues should not be taking this long to be resolved.

Bus System Still Frustrating

Sir, the Spanish Tn bus system gone back to the dogs. I have been watching for a few weeks before complaining. Persons waiting in a long line for over 3 hours is unacceptable. Today I am writing this at 2:30, and persons in the line told me that they have been waiting long before 12 noon. We need more than 2 trains to clear this line.
It is now 2:34. You will not receive this msg before I am connected to a WIFI.
Can you say whether the drivers have taken some kind of industrial actions? If so, what for?
I joined the Sp Tn bus line before 2pm and I am just leaving HWT at 3:30

INDECOM Is Working For The People

Press Release From INDECOM - 20241119

On November 18, 2024, Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) officer Constable Waeyvel Phillips was placed before the St. James Parish Court, where he was charged with the offences of murder and making use of a firearm to commit a felony contrary to Section 25(1) of the Firearms Act 1967. The charge is as a result of a completed investigation by the Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM) and a submission to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) for ruling.

Constable Phillips was taken into custody on his return to Jamaica, seven months after the ruling of the ODPP.

Constable Phillips was charged in relation to the May 13, 2022, off-duty fatal shooting of 33-year-old Kadmar Beadle at a bar at Jarett Street in Montego Bay, St. James.

Constable Phillips was granted bail in the sum of $400,000.00 with one to three sureties and reporting conditions. The next court date is scheduled for December 4, 2024.

National Identification System is Here!!!

Yes... Yes...Yes...The National Identification System is here. Many of us as citizens have campaigned for this for many years. This will be a turning point for our country. It will help ensure accountability in the distribution of government benefits. Now every man woman and child will be able to be identified. You must have heard me on the radio for the last 12 or more years campaigning for this to happen.

We are on the road to being able to identify the criminal elements in society easier - by their ID - No alias. I am sure that many will not want to register. If they don't want to, then they will have to prove that they are Jamaicans. Can you imagine when the gang member goes to the hospital and he has to register using his national ID? To get a job your employer would be able to verify if you are a Jamaican or not!

The next step is to introduce ticketing for most offences using our National Identification System. Break the law, get your ticket, pay for your ticket. There is no need to pack up the prisons with persons who do not pose a danger to the society.

Lord, Jamaica needs order in this country. Let's hope the state will use this system to put some order in this country.

It is a pity that they did not allow all of us to enter our names to be selected to be the first to receive that National Identification. It would be a historic event for that lucky citizen and something to be celebrated as the first citizen to have their National Identification. The Governor General and the Prime Minister should be the last persons to be a part of the system. This would indicate that we put the people first.

A release yesterday from Jamaica House states that the Government of Jamaica achieved a monumental milestone on Friday, November 15, 2024, with the official issuing of the first set of national identification cards under the Integrated National Identification System. This landmark event signals the beginning of a new era in secure identification and digital transformation for Jamaicans.

There are other benefits of the system but I believe the authorities do not want to state them because people might not want to register. The National Identification System should be helpful in the fight against crime. I am not a criminal so I will be at the head of the line to register for my National Identification!

Jamaica Has Lost Two More Outstanding Ladies

Jean Barnes

I understand from a reputable source that Jean Barnes has passed on. Many will remember her sister Noelle Chutkan principal dancer for the NDTC, her husband Col. Barnes and her famous football son John Barnes.

Ambassador Madge Barrett

Another beautiful lady who has served her country well and who last served in the Foreign Affairs Minister, Ambassador Madge Barrett has died. She served as Consul General in Miami. She was always immaculately dressed in eye-turning outfits. Ambassador Barrett played an important role in assisting various Ministers and played an important role in dealing with protocol matters for visiting dignitaries.
