OUR PEOPLE, OUR PAPER, OUR VOICE! Discipline, Sacrifice, Commitment as we make a collective effort

09/11/2025

💔 We are grieving two heartbreaking losses caused by senseless violence.

✨ Iryna Zarutska, only 23, fled the war in Ukraine searching for peace and safety. Her life was stolen on public transportation in Charlotte.

✨ Charlie Kirk, a national political voice, was shot and killed while speaking to students at a university in Utah.

Two very different lives, two very different stories—but one painful truth:

👉 Violence is never justified.

👉 Murder is never the answer.

Our prayers are with their families, friends, and communities. May the memories of Iryna and Charlie inspire us to reject hatred, protect human dignity, and choose compassion over cruelty.

🕯️ Rest in peace, Iryna and Charlie.

🔥 Jamaica Wants Change, But Not Just Any Change! 🔥

Jamaica’s future isn’t just about change it’s about finding leadership the people can trust.

The latest polls show Jamaicans are tired of the status quo. Almost 1 in 3 say they’re ready to support the Opposition, while another 1 in 3 still stand with the Government. But here’s the real story 👉 nearly 40% are either undecided or don’t trust either side.

✅ Jamaicans want a new direction.
❌ But they’re not convinced the Opposition can deliver it.
⚖️ Both parties are locked in a dead heat and trust is the deciding factor.

The people are speaking loud and clear: “We want change, but we want leaders we can actually believe in.”

Mottley: Wiretaps Only with a Judge’s Warrant

Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley stood firm in her national address tonight, making it clear that no one in Barbados will ever be wiretapped without a judge’s warrant.

She admitted the original clause in the Wiretap Bill needed correcting, and her government moved quickly to fix it. “We listen, we adjust, and we act in the people’s best interest,” Mottley declared.

The PM also touched on other major reforms:
✅ Protecting witnesses with stronger anonymity laws
✅ Upgrading special constables
✅ Expanding the jury pool
✅ Opening new doors through the Immigration and Citizenship Bills to benefit Barbados and descendants of Barbadians worldwide

Mottley’s message was simple but powerful with true leadership is not about never making any mistakes but about having the courage to correct them.

Why the Black Church Is Losing a Generation
Faith without freedom feels like chains.

Gen Z and millennials are walking away from the Black Church—not because they’ve lost faith, but because they’ve lost trust.

They’re questioning why they should follow a religion brought by colonizers, why sermons feel disconnected from real-life struggles, and why so many churches look more like businesses than centers of liberation.

A recent study reveals what many already feel: the Black Church often avoided confronting its role in reinforcing a “slave mentality,” preaching obedience while communities outside still suffer.

Today’s youth want action, transparency, and truth. Without it, the pews will keep emptying, this time for good.

Grenada in Talks with US Over Visa Ban Tied to Cuba’s Doctor Program 🩺🇬🇩🇺🇸

The US has slapped visa restrictions on some Grenadian officials (and their families) over links to Cuba’s medical mission program calling it forced labor.

Grenada says it’s handling the matter “with the utmost responsibility” and urges everyone to wait for official updates.

Washington claims Cuba keeps most of the money paid for its doctors, while Havana calls the program health diplomacy.

Do you think this is helping people or exploiting them? 🤔

Murders are down — but is it because of the new Homeland Security Minister, the PNM government, or just a lucky dip in the numbers?

✊🏿 AFRICA, WAKE UP! ✊🏿
In 1908, in the Belgian Congo, under King Leopold II, the punishment for failing to meet rubber quotas was having your hands cut off. Entire villages were wiped out. Over 10 million Congolese died half the population.

And yet… most of us were never taught this. We were told to “forgive and forget.” That’s why today, we are still colonized just in a new form called Neocolonialism. The chains are no longer iron they are economic, political, and mental.

We must remember.
We must teach our history.
We must reclaim our power.
