Breaking News From Cuba

Report just coming in is that the Cuban electricity grid has collapsed. This will have serious impact on all sectors of the economy. One can just imagine the heat now in Cuba.

Tourism is down significantly and there are now demonstrations in the country. My information is that this is the third national power cut. With the unavailability of Venezuelan oil, it seems there will be dark and hot days ahead for Cuba.

The people of Cuba have been very resilient but the question is how much more can the country take.

I would love to hear from Cubans in Jamaica who still have families in Cuba.

He Took Down A Man Who Was Hanging Himself


Last week I had my first experience speaking to someone who had just attempted to commit suicide in Cross Roads. What an experience it was. I felt his pain, his hopelessness, his loss of hope. Some of us will say, "What a fool, man."

You never know when you might lose control of your mind, so never believe it cannot happen to you.

If this man ends up committing suicide, then the Ministry of Health and Wellness has failed him. Nobody from the Ministry of Health has come to visit this man as yet in Cross Roads. I have called numerous times since last week.

Today I went back to look for him, but he was nowhere to be found. Sam Carty, president of the Cross Roads Route Association, and other transport operators tried to assist him today.

I found Ossie, the man who prevented the suicide attempt last week. This week I spoke with Ossie, who saved a man from taking his life. We are still waiting for assistance for the man from the Ministry of Health.

Let us hear from Ossie.

The NWC apologizes for any inconvenience caused and appreciates the patience and understanding of the motoring public.                                    

                                      

Alert - NWC Kingston

Dealing With Evil And Satanic People!

A created Picture.

I believe that the heaviest burden to carry is the burden of people’s evil spirit. It will depress, demotivate, increase your blood pressure and possibly send you to your grave earlier than expected. The evil spirit of people will do all kinds of evil things, including working obah on others.

It could be your mother or father who creates problems in your marriage. Siblings create a special problem when they compete with one another and envy another sibling. They tend to show their true colours when a parent dies.

Some people stick to their church brothers and sisters, and that is where you can have challenges. Another church member falls in love with your spouse. Some members gossip quite a bit. Some church members can be very cruel to one another. Some Christians will stab you in the back and find a verse in the Bible to justify the act. I knew of a wicked person in a church, and I asked the pastor how it was possible to have these wicked people in the church.

The pastor said to me that these wicked people are in the church because they are seeking refuge!

Evil and satanic people populate the workplace. They are into news-carrying and tearing down their colleagues who do well. Do not share your family business with them. When they start to discuss top management, excuse yourself. They will report that you made negative comments about the management. That could be the beginning of the end of you at that workplace.

Your professional colleagues are just that. Some are quick to tear down your work behind your back. Don’t treat them as friends. They are just associates. Many talk with you because you are a lawyer or a doctor, but that does not mean they love you.

This does not mean that one should go around being paranoid of others. You just need to have your antennas up at all times. How one navigates around wicked people will decide to what extent one can achieve one's goals.

There comes a time when you come across some very evil people, and when you come across them, you must cut them off. You don’t hate them, but you don’t have them in your space. It is sometimes a tough decision to make. A spouse who abuses you and calls you worthless must be dropped immediately.

Siblings who only know you when there is something to eat from you must be cut. Those who tell lies to you and carry news on you must be removed from your life. I would never drive with an evil person unless I had to. 

There are many loving and caring people out there, so why burden yourself with evil people unless you hate yourself? Stick with good, caring people who show empathy, and your life will be more enjoyable.

Think of evil people as small birds fighting an eagle. The eagle soars higher, and those little birds cannot reach those heights.

Surround yourself with good, loving, caring people, and your life will be changed overnight.
