Marie's View From Crow Nest, Half Way, Tree (2025)

16/03/2024

THE WEEK THAT WAS!
After the clash of the TITANS, for the prized possession of the Coveted Municipality of THE KSAMC, The People's National Party came out Victorious.

The nail biting finish was decided in a Magisterial Count.
Well this Arm of the Judiciary shud have been praised, especially seeing that it has taken a Black Eye, a week later, and it's Chief Prosecuturial Division has been found wanting.

This is my OPINION NOT necessarily a FACT, as Courts shud be above and beyond reproach.

Anyway on the round up of a Post LGE cycle, it was the handing over ceremony that got many Supporters of the Governing Political Party, crass, angry and miserable, as they took their unbecoming behavior to the Seat of The Kingston Municipality, causing some chaos but nevertheless they cudn't stop THE PROGRESS.

The Newly Minted Mayor was duly sworn in, took on the Regalia of his Office, to Govern with sobriety for the people of this GREAT MUNICIPALITY OF KINGSTON AND St. ANDREW.

Therefore, YOUR WORSHIP as this Honorific Title denotes, should only be taken as just a title, and to be seen as a metaphor, NOT a realistic honor.
Please remember who put you there, your tenure shud be about the People in this Big, Likkle Country, and by extension the Municipality.

As for me it's Country ova Politics, so as I celebrate my Party's Victory, I am still mindful of Good Governance, that's what I campaigned for, will be watching 👀.

See its a shame when the Plebians openly have no faith in their Justice System, and look outwards to a Colonial Era Entity to dispense Justice.

To me that is the bigger picture than even Adija Palmer, aka Kartel being on a Poster as the Country's larger than life celebrant of beating a corrupt Justice System.

So as many ponder his eventual fate, and his return to the Pride of Place, as The Greatest
since the Coming of The King, to the many he has now become the Messiah, who beat a corrupt Justice System.

But let's look at this Halley's Comet, what if Kartel, as he us affectionately called, didn't have the Power of his Resources, aka The Butter, The Money, to hire someone to litigate for him, no matter what the Court of Public Opinion may think of his role in a heinous crime.

See Justice shud never be dispensed at the cost of Presumption, NO MATTER WHO THE GUY IS, it shud be Free, Fair, Factual and without a hint of being poisoned by anyone or anything who in a quest to make a story, then the very system that One has sworn to protect and defend from impunity, can be shaken to its very foundations to even the core.

See, since ancient times ,many of these FRATERNAL ORGANIZATIONS, are steeped in HONOR, however, things can get sticky when any foreign element is injected into it, to probably get a certain result, a desired outcome.

One of the Basic Laws of Chemistry is Conservation, whatever is put in the mixture, the end result shud retain the original elements, salt plus water becomes a solution, but no matter what process this Solution goes thru, it shud retain its original property value, without any damage done to the original elements.

However this same element can be manipulated to get a desired outcome, BUT using this same principle, Elements if left untouched will remain pure and undiluted.

Justice should be blind, NO MATTER WHO THE GUY IS, to me that is what those LAW LORDS in GREAT BRITAIN, even though NOT so GREAT anymore, told it's once former Colonists in this Justice System, here in JAMDOWN, that they helped to create, NO PLAY FUDDY DUDDY, caz yu neva know when you will run into that ONE client who can tek on de system, caz as dem sey, ALL PIGS ARE EQUAL, BUT INNA JAMAICA SOME ARE MORE EQUAL.

Justice System, mek wi change dat, den there will be no CAUSE CELEBRE, inna Jamming,
Nah lie doh, no think dis a go be NO NINE DAY WONDA DOH.
Jamaica Courts You Got Next.

Ok so now that the euphoria has kinda Subsidied, and
now Galatea are waiting DE NEXT STEP, in this natural progression OF FREEING WORLD BOSS, mi just waan sey to de Yutes dem , who a endorse THE TAG LINE 'FULLY DUNCE', tek a page outta ISAT BUCHANAN BOOK BAG, and gaa school, go learn, no go in like JOHNNY CAKE and come out like DUMPLIN.

Big up yuself MR. BUCHANAN, put a hangle pon him name, caz him Bangle and Triangle uppa LUNDON, yes Mr. BUCHANAN, the hopes of a nation was depending on you, to see that Justice shud not not only seem to be done, but it shud be done.

No one shud ever be convicted on PRESUMPTIVE EVIDENCE, NO MATTER WHO THE GUY IS.
Mama Joan Porteous tek a bow.
Fada Big Yute, yu seed did well, caz rite now many of us are proud.

So even though the final hurdle has not been crossed plenty a wi still happy, for too long Justice has been denied and People's Rights have been violated based on whey dem come from, while many guilty in high spaces and places walk free, doan even see a Courthouse.
Better the Guilty walk free, than one innocent hang.

LAW LORDS SEY EVIDENCE KINDA IFFY, SO JAMAICA BALL INNA YOUR COURT.

NOT A VYBZ FAN, JUSYT ON THE SIDE OF JUSTICE, IF THE HEAD OF THE STREAM IS DUTTY, SO WILL BE THE RUNOFF.
Den a which Jury dem a go get fi find him guilty.
Isat BIG UP YUSELF MI BREDDA, yu lick dem dung, afta dem try fi stifle yu.
Paula yu days dun, pack yu bags and go.
And for the Record, I am not Vybz Fan.

BUT “justice must not only be done, but it must also be seen to be done.”
It means that the appearance of BIAS shud be enough to invalidate a judicial decision.

Anyway in my opinion, better a guilty man go free than one innocent person should suffer.
The reason is, because it’s of more importance to community, that innocence should be protected, than it is, that guilt should be punished.
Rephrase Benjamin Franklin.
Presumptive Evidence shud not be the basis for guilt or innocence.

Paula oonu clean up the Justice System, plenty people deh a prison with far less evidence.
Luckily Vybz had the Wherewithal to fight for his Freedom whether guilty or not.
Isat no hi dem no Interviews, de whole a dem did condemn yu

Dear Mr. Economics, Santa Clarke, how
will the Government pay its Bills, without Collecting Taxes from the People.

Even in Jesus Time. Mary and Joseph had to go pay to Bethlehem to pay taxes to Caesar.
So if from that time Taxes was in vogue, and life was much more simpler, so FAST FORWARD Two Thousand
plus years later, when life has all these modern Complications, and a Country has to be run on Energy, and not a mule train, how will you pull this one off from your bag of Tricks.

There is a Public Sector Service to be paid Salaries, Public Ammenities and Institutions to be maintained, then how in the name of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Mr. Sar, how are you going to be able to pull that one off, caz not even Houdini could wriggle himself free from that muddle of lies you try to sell in Parliament during your Budget Speech.

No sah Nigel yu fi tap tell lie, people have grown up and can see oonu and de 3 Card Trick dem, and naw buy de Crocus Bag a Fiscal Tricks no more.
Time has Arrived, Jamaicans tiad a de lies dem and oonu schemin.
