Jamaica | What REALLY happened?

Yow. Manley was a man before his time. Jamaicans have lost that fire and fight. Manley was a visionary. He pushed back against the oppressors. No retreat. No surrender! ✊🏽

Thing is you probly have😂 I've learnt over the years its really HOW you say it as opposed to what you might say so you probably turn a few youths away from the light without being aware of it in the first place it might have happened while you were young or as an older gentleman you might not remember but we all done it and only realize later in life after looking back in retrospect. To be fair you have given more hope than you took away so it balances out in a way but everyman has done it at least once even you think it's banter or in Jamaican terms "pressure" or "hot seat" it still change a few minds even tho they laugh with you they are hurting so you won't really know....life is a mystery.​@@prestonmatthews725

Mr. George, thank you so much for producing this historical video. I am watching from Florida. I am from Jamaica, and your video has pointed out the gospel truth concerning Jamaica's history as it relates to first world interference. The level of propaganda that was used by the West to destabilize Jamaica was unbelievable. I was a 12:19 teenager when I noticed that the wholesaler (Chinese) was selling out their businesses and moving to the US. So, your video is truly on point in every respect. Thanks again, sir, for showing the world that Jamaica suffered gross injustice by the West.

I..left, ' Brixton London and went to Jamaica...we were ' JLP ' but the older i get i realized that Michael Manley..was a really great man..not,. ' Edward Seaga',..but i was only 16-17 at the time..but as i got older i realized, .Seaga ,..was the real bad guy ...

Michael Manley was last prime minister that meant Jamaicans any good. The cia sided with Edward Seaga and Jamaica have went down hill to this day. Implementing policies that only benefited one class of Jamaicans. Countries such as Singapore copied and implemented Manley's economic vision and the proof of Singapore's growth is evidence enough.

At one time in the early 90s, there was a real push back against "SLACKNESS" in Reggae and Dancehall, talking about sexual acts and gun talk. The government and various roots reggae singers were highly critical of young dancehall artists and asked them to clean their lyrics up. They did it for 5 years and then the slackness came back twice as strong and has only gotten worse... 🙄

I like how you rhyme. But ... 0:40 I'm not too sure about this. That's too general of a statement. Edward Seaga goes into detail as to the real reason that a State of Emergency was called. Seaga's first volume of "My Life and Leadership" describes the events in gory details. 1:52 "White passing politician" ... What does that mean? His father wasn't white. Norman Manley was born to mixed-race parents in Roxborough in Jamaica's Manchester Parish. 3:57 I doubt that. There was indeed communist connection within the party. Trevor Munroe left that party to create the Workers Party, a communist party. Intelligence gathered that Manley made visits to USSR. 4:29 There's no evidence of CIA interference. While CIA maybe involved in gathering intelligence as do many countries, no evidence exists of interference. 8:55 How do you make that link? Where's the evidence? 11:00 These statements about Bob Marley is Kartel's interpretation based on his alignment with the People's National Party. Do another poem that gives clear evidence of CIA interference in Jamaica?

[@Beautybizz28]

I have clear evidence my father worked with the CIA in Jamaica he tried to release a book in the 90s but people said he was mad.

[@entrepreneurscreativethink2533]

I am not sure if I agree or disagree with the comment that Jamaica wasn't ready to break away from Britain and become independent. Jamaica’s independence was a leap into the unknown, but it was also a necessary step toward becoming the nation it is today. The process of "finding its way" involved mistakes, successes, and a growing sense of pride in its unique identity. Independence gave Jamaicans the freedom to shape their future, even if that meant navigating the complexities of inexperience and forging a path forward through trial and perseverance. This journey has been central to Jamaica’s growth as a vibrant and influential nation on the global stage.

[@GeorgeThePoet]

True. I based the statement on the fact that Jamaica still depended on business from Britain and couldn’t fully commit to the Trini PM Eric Williams’ vision of a Caribbean federation at the time. But I agree, every country had to step out on their own at some point
