Swine Flu Makes Jamaica No 1 Tourist Destination.

jamaica_tourist_l They say that Jamaica is one the most blessed countries in the world. With all the wicked things that are done in this country, there are signs that God is still watching over this little island. From hurricane changing direction, to becoming the greatest athletic country per capita, we are constantly been given a chance to make things right.

With pork been the most controversial meat in this country it is an unlikely source for our latest good fortunes in the form of H1N1 virus (swine flu). After advisors warned travelers to avoid Mexico, tourist have flock to Jamaica according to new data released by TUI Travel. TUI Travel, the parent company of Thomson Holidays and is the largest tour operator in Europe.

The report claims that Jamaica is experiencing a 30% rise in bookings over the last two weeks with Egypt coming second at 23% and Dominican Republic third at 19%. These are figures for tourist travelling from Europe.

We could be greater than we can imagine, if only we answer the call.

Grin And Beer It

BY DEPORTEE

Out of the woods, the beer strikes, its paws cut a path through the smoky swathe of depressed people as they howl and cower in fear, unable to run, unable to repel the attacks. The big brown beer smashes stalls and shops and freezes the thirst of horrified onlookers. There are no animal rangers around to seduce the beer with a shot of tranquilizers. Following the rampaging beer is a forest fire carrying with it a massive, thick, choking fog which encircles all and swallows the screaming humans-their wails, screams and shouts locked up in the vacuum of this killer cloud.

This is no horror fiction but a real beer attack. Many non alcoholics and non smokers will sit back and smile and yell hip hip hooray but they should bear in mind that they too have vices and their vices will also be taxed.

Jamaica is attempting to tax goods and services based on consumption. That may be a good start but can we do like the Americans? With such a small population

Cigarettes and alcohol will realize $J1.94 billion and some 20% of it will be allocated to the National Health Fund / Monday, May 9, beer and other alcohol beverages will be drunk at a ridiculously high of 25%. 1,000 sticks of fags will go for $8,000. Now, that’s smoking hott!

Audley Shaw is a smart man or he think he is. The increase in the special income tax on cigarettes and alcohol were already on the cards. But he had used the tax on printed material to get his point across. The false flag budget had irked many but being that alcohol and cigarettes were increased last year, he never wanted to attack it so soon again.

What he did is nothing short of genius, to make the government look as if it is listening to the people – the book association- and automatically slapped me with more taxes on may favourite pastime.

I have to hand it to them. Great chess move. Red Stripe, the company will be suffering from these new taxes as its profits will be further reduced as the consumption on liquor will be down to a minimum. The tax on books and printed material was a wicked diversion because it would be opposed to the government’s reading initiative and they gave us a wicked blowback but man, I was aware of this two-take move.

The little bar on the corner will now see a downturn in customers as it will cost too much to have a beer. The recession will now hit home hard to the lil entrepreneur and I don’t know where we go next.

The fog which we smokers now have to circumvent in order to get our fix is getting very very thick. We have been paying for the National Health Fund and chances are us smokers get nothing from it. Such is the way of the world.
It matters not if we kill our selves or that second hand smoke is more dangerous-bullshit- we need to have our fix. But I will let it go as I will turn to weed. The green, stinky smelling plant is what I will burn 24/7s!

And the beer and the fog will pounce and hover for the next year, feeding its huger lust and choking the living daylights of out the pockets of people like me. I will sit and watch the beer, I will see him grow hungry and see him fall. As for the fags, I will watch them grow stale because I have found a new lover and tat love is a friend indeed and his name is WEED!

Taxes, taxes and all of Jamaica are embroiled in anger. The cops, teachers, firemen, nurses all want an increase but there’s a freeze on wages. I can understand the government increasing taxes but why can not the workers get an increase too? The rising interest rates, the jump in cost of living predicates that people need to have money but with a freeze, how are they going to manage? That is one thing the Driver has to look into and use his rear view mirrors before he drives himself out of office. Not that Portia will do any better.

The JLP government has presented a budget perfect for big business. Look at Donovan Perkins, Oliver Clarke and many others smiling and congratulating some of the cost cutting measures. Why? They are happy because their businesses will ride out the rough times and be successful. It is hypocritical to see private businesses laud government’s measures yet the workers in their own companies are suffering. You see the wages of the management staff in Jamaica? They are more than four times the salary of an average worker and that is so unfair!


SWINE FLU AWAY
The Swine Flu is now a major ‘hoax’ as there is ye to be found a pig with this disease. I won’t say I told you so, but I did. A friend of mind received a text from the Ministry of Health saying that no hugging or kissing or intimacy should be done to prevent a swine flu outbreak. I laughed at this preposterous idea and wonder why the powers that be continue to scare people of a non existent boogieman. No scientific evidence to say it was passed from pigs to human but I have a theory that our, well the world’s food production is being hijacked by Big Pharma to sell their drugs.

Well, I have wasted too much shrinking brain cells discussing swine flu and oh there will be many more hyped up flu and many more serious pandemic outbreaks of diseases. Wait and see
Pork has and will be safe and the grunting by all those concerned re swine flu was much ado about nothing. Until then, light a fire and come mek we jerk some hog!

God Forgive Them Not

Every time the news of young child murdered in Jamaica broke I feel like I am about to loose my friggin mind.

Tamieka Thompson from Sandy Bay, Clarendon body was found close to her home after she went missing from May 4. I don’t even want to hear the whole story of what happen. It just brings out the perfect hatred in me for person(s) I don’t even know. There is no forgiveness for the individuals who commit these hideous acts against our children.

I am begging the parents to do more to protect their children.

Muddled Grunts

BY DEPORTEE

swine_flu If you are involved in the Montego Bay scam lottery, you can expect a violent death. If you are part of a gang, an informer, sell crack, you can die anytime. Hell, only a few of us will live to a ripe old age. Now here comes swine flu!

Professions have never meant anything to me. Doctors, lawyers, architects, engineers, accountants, journalists and even thieves have their code of ethics and their rules and regulations. In which they also have a structured outlook on things. I never take as gospel nothing these professionals say as gospel as none of them has ever –except a few - with their own theories but have belched out what they have been taught and learned!

If you see things happening and it clearly cannot be a coincidence, then what is it? Over the past 10 years over forty American microbiologists have been found dead in car trunks strangled, suicide and in accidents where their cars have been found wrapped around trees with no brake fluid. What is really happening? All these microbiologists had one thing in common- they all worked for the US government in research for biological warfare!

Now, how could these men die so violently in a profession where no violence occurs? Could it be that they were involved in ‘black projects’ and after completing them, they were deemed dispensable? The control on our food, water, thoughts are slowly building up as the many FEMA coffins!

It is not possible to contain the swine flu outbreak! WHO said that? WHO, the World Health Organization have given up the ghost in its fight to control this mutating flu virus. If WHO is impotent in controlling this ‘pandemic’ swine flu, it means no one wants to or has the means to stop this. This may blow over or it will rise. As said, it seems as if only in Mexico people are dying and everywhere else, you have symptoms. Wonder f there’s an American owned pig farm in Mexico. Read more and maybe you will see something that will make your big eyes jump out of their sockets!

Now, in reaction to the swine flu, the Jamaican Govt and the agriculture bureaucrats are keeping a watch on swine! How dumb is that? Swine, birds, horses, sheep and many mammals all have flu and the one creature which is the originator of flu is birds! People who live and work among animals are more likely to develop immunity to these animals. Pigs are similar genetically in some aspects to humans and we can give pigs flu and vice versa. Now, if what leading scientists are saying that the swine flu as we now see has there strains-namely swine, human and avian and if that is mutated, then we have hell on our heels.

The Spanish Flu was spread by soldiers! The first serious outbreak of Swine Flu in 1976 occurred when soldiers were either infected by food or injected and that flew away amidst the hysteria. Now 33 years later, we have another scare coming back again!

As long as man continues to play God and experiment and mess around with bio weapons, we will see many more outbreaks. If the Swine Flu mutates and is transmutable person to person, lewd help us cause many many will die and for what cause?
The culling of the world’s population and total control leading to the one world government is inching slowly like darkness on dusk. The Codex Alimentarius dictates the specifications and guidelines on how food should be prepared in a structured manner and with help from WHO soon we will be asking WHOdunnit?

WHO have said that the deadly swine flu cannot be contained! You all better mask up. The paranoid among us will be first in line to get swine fly shots but is that a good thing? Flu shots do not prevent you from getting flu. It may shorten the time you have flu but in no way it is the be all and end all to flu! Plus, getting these shots may only weaken your immune system. How many of us know what these drugs are which we take into our bodies? No one, unless you are a top class chemist with inside info on the exact drugs and dosage used!

Shares in airline stocks have plummeted as fears in this squealing swine flu oinks oinks its way into a paradigm of fear globally. The ground zero of the Swine Flu occurred in Oaxaca Mexico. A woman Maria died in April 8,2009. She worked for the government, lived in a modest clean neighbourhood where no pigs were around so it is puzzling to the Mexicans , as to how she could have contracted the virus.

In Veracruz, a four year old boy was the first death two weeks before and here this! He lived near an American owned pig farm! Viruses from animal to humans and vice versa are not naturally occurring, so when you see outbreaks such as these, there is something more sinister going on!

Now, our smart Alecs in Jamaica can keep on testing pigs and not try to see if anyone is infected because if there is an outbreak here, then you may see many die. It all comes down to cleanliness but if it has progressed from human to human, then we shall all be Michael Jackson in mask and we won’t laugh at his antics anymore!

Global Warming is geared to scare you to be taxed for breathing! Yes, we pollute the earth but the many researches and results are skewed to make it seem as if yes we all are going to perish tomorrow.

I can grunt on these words, you can grunt dismissively but all we will do is grunt as like pigs we are being fed at the trough with poison we have no idea we are ingesting! So until then, be no overly scared, be prepared and sift the truths from the lies in this news of mud.

All Gassed Up

By Depotee

Now the Budget will be read later on today and we will see what we have in store. As I have said on may occasions – I now sound like a cracked up record- if honest governments tax the people heavily and provide all the amenities needed, nations would be well off – I have said that if a country is not taxed, then borrowing is the only effective method to run a country! Now we see that we are going to have more tax and the tax on gas will see everything blown –pun intended- sky high!

Man’s dependence on oil is at melting point. The cost for this black gold has increased five fold and its earthquake effects are being felt in every sector of society.

In Jamaica, 52 per cent of Jamaica's fuel intake is consumed by the transportation sector according to Transportation Minister Mike Henry. With our massive dependence on crude, we are in for an awakening so crude. ( Pun intended)
With the cost of a litre of petrol burning a hole in the pockets, drivers are now more than ever finding ways in which to conserve fuel.

With the freeze in public sector wages and the teachers demanding to ‘wrong bang’ the move, we are in store for a head on collision! It seems as if The Driver will crash and burn or will he ride roughshod over and through a crowd of people in order to save a few? With so many jobs on the line, the $J35 billion it will take to pay out increase in wages, we could see over 22,000 people ‘walk foot’ for an indefinite time.

The dogs of war howl for their piece of flesh but again the paradox of thrift comes popping up because if you cut wages, save jobs, increase wages, the recession will still be in effect. The only thing The Driver can do is increase spending and the only way he can do that is if he increases taxes and even if he is driven to desperation to implement such a disastrous move, he himself will be FIRED.

The time for jokes is over but hey, a laugh here and there can be excused, albeit to The Driver’s detriment.

A serious move has to be undertaken to generate economic generating jobs and an overhaul in the way we go about collecting taxes. For too long now 40% of the population has been paying taxes for the rest of us. We need to drain every drop into the bucket so we can see a way out of the mirror isomer that steams up in our faces. The geysers and the earthquake rumbles will tremble under our feet and the poor shall all be swallowed up.

Maybe our stalling politicians after years of bumbling inactivity should try to find some cheaper fuel. The major advantage of synthetic oils is its ability to remain stable at high temperature and it burns much cleaner.

Among the many performance advantages that synthetic oils offer is their ability to remain stable at high temperatures (under which conventional oils begin to break down) and remain fluid at low temperatures (under which conventional oils begin to thicken). This provides optimum lubrication at extreme temperatures, reducing wear for a cleaner, more efficient engine..
Ahhh 20% of workers pay 80% of the taxes! Where we get relief? Well, the security forces are out to protect against any riots and until then, let us fume, explode, crash and burn!

Government needs to cut the Bullshit

A reader writes:

Imagine if oil should shoot back up to US$100.00 per barrel, I would want to see how many of you over-taxed middle class Jamaicans can afford to buy gas. Where would the revenue that the gas tax should generate come from then?

Education and health don’t have to be free. They should be affordable but not free. SO LETS CUT THE BULLSHIT. Even if it’s $200 per visit at the hospital or $1000 per term for education, it would help out in the shortfall in the budget significantly and help these institution that unnu not providing any funding for anyway.

But nooooo!! It was all an election ploy, not only for the last one, but also for the next one.

I don’t get it! The government is forcing us to spend more when our income are gradually decreasing daily. There is no remittance, no bauxite, and tourism getting juk slowly but surely because the government don’t have the slightest clue on how to fight crime.

Look when unnu choose to stop borrow money. After 46 years of independence, unnu choose now during the worst economic period of our time.

What exactly is Mr Bruce Golding is asking us to understand? I don’t understand. Maybe my head too tuff and mi pocket dem too shallow.

Government Solution for Beer Bellies

redstripe beer Finance Minister Hardley Shaw Yesterday in his presentation to Parliament rolled back the tax from several items like books, salt, syrup, fish, cock and noodle soups (WTF were they thinking) and fling on the tax on beers, spirits, cigarettes to fill the gap.

Beer to me was already too expensive, plus I stop drinking beer long time ago. Well, there will always be White Rum. Good taste, no hangover, no big belly and no increase in tax.
