Religion, Thought, Westernization

All Caribbean people should take a serious review to the outlandish accusation of Haiti's suffering being caused by an act of demonic pact made with the devil, since they practice the faith of voodoo and several other non-traditional faiths. I say this at a time even though disaster has struck, we as people of Caribbean where most of us possess African (eastern) heritage within the blood that pluses through our veins, should ponder and analyze what does the "civilized" world think of us?

Really to have such a degree of wide spread ignorance, that a pact of a country's "freedom" was made with Lucifer himself. Do not get me wrong I strongly believe in the presence of a spiritual realm, where the beings can traverse between our dimension and theirs. However this situation that has unfolded before the eyes glued to their HD TVs and internet streams, especially those of the African descent diaspora could possible assume if we followed the cultures of our forefathers, how would the "right thinking portion" of the world see us. Note remember voodoo is an actual faith, the principle of the it has been warped over the years using it's negative aspects, like most non-Christian based faiths, to do damage and turn the world against our fellow man. Our fellow Caribbean brothers and sisters, who sought freedom just like us, whose blood and tears fertilized the soil of their present, and their future, who just like us struggle against the negative they receive more so over because their faith, beliefs and cultures were initially different.

How can we allow this plague of out right ignorance to spread without speaking out, not just to say we object but we object to such a labeling of our own.

Reality of Haiti, Beyond the Disaster

The images of disaster at our door step via the new age media of CNN, BBC etc. of the Haiti earthquake. One must ponder the truth behind the nature of such an event. Where a country does not have the capacity to muster support for itself in its greatest time of need. Chaos, mistrust, and blatant ignorance are allowed to fester like pus in an infected sore . Pre-disaster and post disaster, the exploitation of its people, not only by the very men who empowered to build their society and the people exist within it, but also by those responsible for its current state of absolute pandemonium. Sure now is an opportunity of "redemption" for those who have brought political fever to Haiti.

Redemption does not necessarily grant forgiveness, however "forgive and forget", my take on the other hand is forgive and never forget, learn from the lesson. Do not repeat the errors of history, unfortunately political reality is short sighted, selfish and highly inconsistent to the genuine nature of what is should be and hence; history will repeat itself. Those who control the chess pieces will continue to exploit their own. Unless a positive external stimulus is applied to either remove them with someone who will effectively do the the task at hand, bring enlightenment to its populace so they can remove the parasite they endowed with the privilege to lead, or do both. The final option in my honest opinion is the best the society learns and is empowered, and a leader with a handle on direction with a purpose, comes to fruition. Never again will a situation of deep contemplation can equate to masturbation. The more intense talk we do about a issue, the more we believe that we've actually achieved our goal or done something to remedy it.

"doubts are more cruel than the worst of truths"

Hard crimes in Hard times.

It is hard to imagine at times why it is, that acceptance of truth and fact is one of the hardest task for mankind to adapt to, yet still we often revel in the construction of nefarious plans for self sustenance whilst at the expense of those we plunder as we ascend the ladders of social instability, political madness and an ever growing plague of financial frustration of the less fortunate stakeholders involved.
Have we truly achieved this perceived level of social greatness that has been advertised and injected into our psyche from the days of early schooling to our present time of modern slavery? Yes you read right “modern slavery”, it is the only applicable term to describe a system where people work for hours on end throughout the day to be paid something called a living wage. Is it even sane to put those two words together without feeling some sort of guilt?
But please don’t perceive me as any sort of anti- government individual, I do believe in the rule of law but how far you take that rule is up to that power that lies in the hands of those that behold same. I am not a learned person when it comes to the study of political criminology a.k.a. legislative procedures, but I do however believe that truth is verifiable as well as identifiable, but hey, you don’t have to take my word for it. For some readers who may be religiously inclined and may have a different view, I ask you this, when the book of Deuteronomy chapter 25 – 30 speak of blessings and curses, the question I ask is have we been liberated or still under siege? What do we do now?

This guy should get an award !

I am not one to usually take joy in basking in euphoria while it is at the expense of another person's misery, however i am of the opinion that this pastor either really had an awakening as opposed to some that are blinded to the truth and are just occupying space on the the earth and consuming our already limited resources for no good reason to humanity except that of their own selfish desires, but hey who am i to be judgemental?
I guess this guy said one too many prayers, too bad he probably lost his spot as the number one nominee for the keys to the city.....this is a true story, it occurred prior to the start of a senate sitting,just had to share this with you.

Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask
your forgiveness and to seek your direction and
guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those
who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we
have done.

We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed
our values.
We have exploited the poor and called it
the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness and called it
welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it
choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it
justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our
children and called it building self esteem..
We have abused power and called it
politics.
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions
and called it ambition.

We have polluted the air with profanity and
pornography and called it freedom of expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values
of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts
today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free.

p.s. does anyone want him available for the next parliament.
