Interesting how Haiti keeps on popping up everywhere I turn my attention to these days … in Sid Bartley’s presentation on Jamaica: Cultural superstate which every Jamaican should hear, in Rev Jackson’s memorial service, in conversations in which I play no role in initiating: Haiti always seems in our thoughts. I found Steven Golding’s historical … More Love for Haiti
How to dismantle a democracy: For billionaires only. It might not be a bestseller, but it would not need to be. The fact is, the power of the people is great when it works for you, but people are highly unreliable. Even Jesus Christ got a taste of it. The crowd that crowns you today … More Petrified, Hypnotized, Zombified, Neutralized.
With all the talk about the Rules-based International Order collapsing and the anxiety over what will the emergent global body politic look like when the game reverts to Big-fish-eat-small-fish, I feel compelled to make some comments on basic ideas that no longer represent a consensus of human opinion, and why, and what to do about … More Sovereign Intelligence
My article last year this time, Coming in from the cold landed me several networking opportunities, and speaking engagements and was published in a pan African journal from out of Guyana. I was in Dominica at the time reflecting on how Marley’s legacy can yet impact upon Caribbean realities in ways beyond the profane cultural … More So much things to say
The point of chrismography is not to endorse, nor even comment on the peculiar religious cultures, traditions and theologies of those involved; but merely to offer visual stimulation focused on interactions with Spirit that demonstrate human potential beyond the frameworks of Billiard-ball mechanical cosmological theories that postulate randomness rather than intelligence (Design) as the engine … More Chrismography
At a time when some have expressed concern that our civilizational project might be under threat by the present intimidation, this is a refreshing breath and reminder that the foundations of our civilization are made of sturdier stuff, but also that we have a burden in our generation to ‘rebuild the city walls’ – restore … More Unity or Bust
Admittedly, Trump is a bit of a character and there is a certain level of cinematic drama involved with invading a country, kidnapping its president and dragging him through the streets of your cities limping in leg-chains. Why not go ahead and say it? Its gangster. But there really is no spectacle here, not really. … More The Law of US Almighty
My soul dances within me every time I hear it. It is one of the sweetest sounds in all creation. The sound of genuine heart-bottom-felt gratitude. Of all aspects of the Nativity Narrative, it is Mary’s most beautiful song that emotes me most deeply, reminding me that the grace of giving is not only (or … More Principles of Magnificat
I’d like to sincerely wish one and all a very merry Christmas, but how can I? I’m ending the year as I began it recognizing the utter vanity of tradition if we are not prepared to protect and preserve it. As far as Christmas is concerned, I’ve long repudiated the Johnny Mathis and Bing Crosby … More Black Christmas
I rarely use my blog for activism. It generally is my arena for philosophical reflection whenever I cannot identify conversation partners. This will be an exception. These are exceptional times. Exceptional approaches are warranted. To borrow some of Mia Motley‘s words, we are likely to be living in a multi-crisis environment for some time. We simply have to … More Captain of my soul
