| Chief/President Currie |
For the first time, my blog has attracted a few readers who don't read with understanding. These readers are normally on TikTok for the latest sus and fake information. They just come on Bark Di Trute to support their star, Chief Richard Curris.
My article about Accompong and its president, Currie, seemed to have excited the political instincts of a few of Currie's followers. They accused me of being a labourite. At least they did not call me a dutty labourite or a criminal.
Mr Currie seems to have some strong supporters out there, but for some reason, these supporters seem like the ray ray type. They have nothing to contribute besides making noise.
Had they read the article and reflected on what was said, then they would have had a deeper understanding of the issues involved and responded appropriately.
Their strong argument is that Accompong is a state and PM Holness has no control over the area. If things had gone the other way on September 3, I would be saying PM Golding has no control over the area.
First, I would love to know at what point Accompong was recognized as a state. When did Accompong become independent, and who granted it independence?
Some of you Maroons are on a trajectory, and you are being led by people who don't even know where they are going.
As of today, you should all unite and stop getting benefits from Jamaica. Get your own material and rebuild your own Melissa-damaged houses. Fix your roads, and supply yourself with electricity and water. Set up your own central bank using your lunar currency. Set up your own hospitals and clinics, and do not use the clinics provided by the state of Jamaica. Some Maroons are actually expressing similar sentiments to mine.
Let's continue to pray to Mr Currie; he will ensure that manna will fall from heaven, and he will share a few fish with the multitude. I hope that the CXC will put this question on the next history examination: When did Accompong become independent, and which country did it become independent from?
Finally, I just learned that the Maroons are the indigenous people of Jamaica! Probably the historians can tell us more about their role in maintaining slavery in Jamaica. The treaty was an agreement with the British to provide service to them. There is no need for that service anymore, and the British made you redundant.
Settle oonu self and fit into Jamaica Land We Love. Definitely maintain your rich culture. We love you, and we love your spirit. It is just that you are misguided at this time.

It would be interesting to hear a commentary from Dr Barnett a learned constitutional lawyer regarding that autonomous region status today in 2025.
ReplyDeleteMr Barnett who can be credited with speaking the truth on such matters should speak to us Bark di Trute<<
Well said 😀
ReplyDeleteWhen did the Maroon become independent? Under British rulership, the British gave the Maroons their freedom.
ReplyDelete"Secondly, That the said Captain Cudjoe, the rest of his captains, adherents, and men shall for ever hereafter in a perfect state of freedom and liberty, excepting those who have been taken by them, or fled to them, within two years last past, if such are willing to return to their said masters and owners, with full pardon and indemnity from their said masters or owners for what is past; provided always that, if they are not willing to return, they shall remain in subjection to Captain Cudjoe and in friendship with us, according to the form an tenor of this treaty." (Excerpt from the Treaty)
As an independent people with autonomy, the PM, has no rule or power over the Maroons, as they have their government.
Independent government and total self-sufficiency are two very different things. Jamaica survives mainly on foreign aid and grants. Over 30 foreign nations and dozens of foreign companies keep the country going. Jamaica is so independent that it relies heavily on foreign aid to rebuild the country after Melissa. Not getting your point.
The Maroons were slaves, who gained their freedom. Indigenous people are the original people belonging to a place, country, or land. We are not even sure the Tainos were the original people, but is as far back as historians have gone to date. The Maroons were slaves.
The Maroons could've maintained slavery, they were not the slave owners or slave masters. Do we maintain criminality when we extradite Jamaicans abroad to answer to charges in foreign territories?
The Maroons' ancestors fought endlessly to ensure their descendants lived in freedom. They would be stupid to hand it over to Jamaicans, who got theirs of because of them.
They lived in freedom while they helped to recapture their Black brothers and sisters and send them back into slavery to the British..
Delete*The Maroons couldn't have maintained...
