Musings of a crackpot

My, my, how things have changed. They have for me; how I now perceive things and celebrate that which I once avoided or held at arm's length. Things like the Maroons; the proud people who doubtless made the best of a bad, perhaps, an untenable situation. Nowadays, being dubbed a Cudjoe is no insult; we would all be fierce proud Maroons. In 1655, as part of the Western Design, the British, under Penn and Venables, defeated the Spanish colonists and took control of most of Jamaica. Following the flight of the Spanish, the Africans -whom they had enslaved, were for the most part left behind- joined the  Amerindian  population (and some others who had previously escaped slavery) in the centre of Jamaica to form the Windward  Maroon  communities. The area is known as  Cockpit Country  (naturally formed depressions caused by the weathering of limestone). The British forces were unable to establish control over the whole island, a large portion remaining...

December 10, 2015 I suppose that most people would say that 80 years represent a fairly good innings; well, this week I do not. I do not intend to change my mind soon either, because it seems to me that you should always do better than you parents. Doing better includes living longer, and I regret to say that the trend, in my family , seems to be moving in the wrong direction. About 48 years ago I visited my family home, for the first time, in Coolshade, Tranquility District, Portland Jamaica. My great grandmother is buried there. She was given 107 years. Her children, with the exception of Anastacia, the baby, each enjoyed similar numbers. Evelyn, my grandmother, lived to 101. Things have changed, and I do not like it. Within the space of 3 years all of my Grandmother's children have died. My mother Olive was the first to go; at 89. Her baby brother Roy left three weeks later, at around 83. Joyce 89 and Lowena, a year Both in their mid-eighties, two weeks apart. And  now, tw...

Background The United States Department of Justice has an opinion and position that is at odds with that of the San Diego Police Department. It holds that: "The guarantee to all persons of equal protection under the law is one of the most fundamental principles of our democratic society. Law enforcement officers should not endorse or act upon stereotypes, attitudes, or beliefs that a person’s race, ethnicity, or national origin increases that person’s general propensity to act unlawfully. There is no tradeoff between effective law enforcement and protection of the civil rights of all Americans; we can and must have both." In 2011, during litigation, Vehicle Stop data for the prior two years was sought. The City of San Diego, in sworn and other statements or filings, denied having any Vehicle Stop Data and convinced the court of that fact. In January 2013 I learned that the City had committed perjury. Following that I obtained and distributed Vehicle Stop...
