Jamaica is caught up in the drama of drugs,guns and politics, much like Mexico and America, the ultimatedestination for drugs and the transport point of guns that is nota"drug war" but the every day, business as usual filthy capitalist swineglobalism. Just as in Mexico, the Jamaican drug war in Kingston cannotbe separated from politics. The party in power apparently has been longinvolved in narcotics trafficking, and probably the opposition party aswell.
Similarly, in the US, there are politicians known forhaving their hands in the cookie jar of the drug cartels. Theassassination of journalist Chauncey Bailey was supposedly because hewas researching the involvement of then Mayor Jerry Brown (now runningfor governor of Cali) and the Oakland Police Department in the drugtrade. Jerry Brown's Internet records as mayor disappeared whenhe departed to become Calif attorney general. Ironically, the presentmayor Ron Dellumsasked the attorney general to investigate the investigation ofChauncey's assassination. We say the investigator of the investigationneeds to be investigated. Supposedly, the OPD wereworking in tandem with Oakland's Mexican drug gangs to eliminate blackdrug dealers and replace them with members of the Mexican cartel. TheMuslims were used to launder drugs, money and jewelry seized by the OPD, thenordered to whack Chauncey. Well, the chief adviser and mentor of theyoung Muslim brothers was a police officer who was also in charge of thecrime scene, who also lead a raid on the Muslim compound less than 24hours after the assassination, seizing the murder weapon and getting asuspect to confess.
Meanwhile, back in Jamaica, Kingston is underseize with police and soldiers supposedly looking for the drug kingpinwho's vowed not to be taken alive, fearing the fate of his father whowas burned alive in jail while awaiting extradition to the US. Someonefeared he might sing like a little black bird.
His son vows hewon't be a black bird, and apparently he has an army of the poor toprotect him since he is considered their Robin Hood, feeding, schoolingand burying the poor, a de facto governor of the underclass in thishighly stratified society of upper class mulattoes and underclass darkskinned Africans.
In the police/army siege of a Kingstonneighborhood, 44 people have died so far, and Robin Hood is nowhere tobe found. I shot the sheriff, but I didn't get the deputy!
