US feared Jamaica collapse

THE UNITED States Embassy in Kingston in 2008 urged Washington to support the Bruce Golding-led Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) Government because it feared that Jamaica could become "the next Haiti". In a secret diplomatic cable sent April 3, 2008, the embassy also expressed fear that Jamaica could slip into a pitiful position if Dr Peter Phillips was sidelined by Portia Simpson Miller if the People's National Party (PNP) was elected to form a new government.
"… If the current JLP Government fails in its economic and national security reform efforts and Golding loses the next election, Simpson Miller then would return to power and form the next government with Phillips and his supporters relegated to the backbench," the cable said.
"In such a scenario, Jamaica could go the way of Haiti: fatally driven by crime, poverty, drugs, gangs, social disintegration, and emigration - all more reasons for strong US support for Golding's ongoing reforms," the cable said.
Golding's Government at the time was bedevilled by rising crime, general inflation and rising fuel and food prices. Opinion polls had also shown that the administration was rapidly becoming unpopular.
Added to that, the JLP was awaiting the ruling of the Dabdoub v Vaz case, which political observers had said could force the prime minister to call a snap election should Abe Dabdoub be handed the West Portland seat by the court in his dual-citizenship challenge.

that's what the anti -portia crew was sending out via the news media (all that lumpen talk would not go unoticed and was picked up by the US).

We are now in 2011; some of us cannot work with the shifting sands.

JA on whole need a new thought process; eduation is still taken lightly. Both parties are still chasing the "sugar dream" (an item that made Ja a power in the world some two hundred odd years ago) We are moving into the info age. A new form of computing is on the rise (quantum computers); this means for the average person to even understand what's going on inside, one must have a background in caculus (in short calculus will have to be intoduced in the high schools' curiculum). This is not a fantasy nor joke becuse it's out there.

Ja has already lost billions in the service industry (financing projects via tax dollars with little returns). The money from the tourism industry leaked away hence the locals have nothing to spend. This in turn inghibits the govt from collecting revenus and improving standard of living. In short Ja is still working with the slavery model of a planter class , with the reat at the bottom mired in poverty.

At present without education Ja is doomed (it will only take longr to slip into Haiti mode). The move by Holness and Assamba was a good one (asking for aid in education from Britian). It was presented improperly though. It should have been presented under the context of regional security (arguing it would greatly combat the drug trade and above all the growing threat of terrorism. Hey these people have constituents too and the constituents would want to know hwy their money is educating Ja when they could use it.
