I have been promising to take a deeper look at the role of religion in preparing the axiological scaffolding that supports a civilization and in particular, the role that Colombian and Cromwellian Christianity played in shaping The Caribbean and the Americas of today, which demanded the surrender and capitulation of many indigenous and imported identities … More The fallacy and the mandate: Out of many, One
I gave this speech at the Rotary Club of St Andrew yesterday. The live video was defective so I present the information here in this format.

What replaces them is not yet determined, it could be a deeper dependency, likely a scramble for bilateral … More A Caribbean SOS
