I know where the real weapons of mass destruction are hidden

Who is responsible?

I know where weapons of mass destruction are. I know where they are stored, who brought them in, even when they arrived. I remember too my childhood days of the 70's.

Jamaica.

Such a beautiful country, devoid of the violence that was first propagandized by the west and that now, to a painfully large degree is true. Damn this point to which we have sunk.

I remember a calmer, safer more relaxed Jamaica. A Jamaica where we slept without harassment, where doors were left wide open so that the sweet, cool Jamaican sea breeze would refresh hot Caribbean bodies with that magic which only a Jamaican could describe. mmmmmmmmmm.

Moonshine baths to bathe us as we walked the roads and hills without fear. Where "howdy and tenk you" was the order of the day. Our patterns of good manners, kept safe for another generation to pass down respect for every elder, even if we didn't have them for our peers.

But back to those weapons.

They came in under the guise of intrigue. They came like “Geeks bearing gifts”. I think that’s the text? The gifts of differing lifestyles, mode of dress, way of behavior, and manner of speech. Weapons that were made to look like toys. Weapons that brought the thrill of the fast life, the promise of a dream and the adoption by Uncle Sam.

Thus began the priming of the weapons.

The weapons

I remember when the introduction of these weapons began. “The true confessions¹”, people magazines, the rumor tabloids, television and the literature. All designed to weed out good upbringing on a mass scale.

The food that was specially created for our enjoyment, that kept Lab techs busy, pouring in the sugar, the candy, the enticement. Our natural fruits were no longer naturally flavored grapes, apples or oranges. They were now numbered flavor #44, or pineapple flavored juices. Meaning someone created the flavor of the fruits in a tank and they were no longer natural but artificial. Yes artificially flavored foods. Alien food.

Media, blessed media!

Introduction to debased lifestyles 101 took place on a massive scale. Now that would really kill the masses. Hollywood primed then cranked the engines of mass destruction. Psychological inventions and the cultural intent to damage were flung into full gear. They would seep into the minds and psyches of a strong, carefree proud, and to a large degree African Minded people.

The destruction

Destruction of principles that once held us together when the going was tough were being eroded. Mass scale destruction of principles that kept our families strong and guaranteed that the hungry would be fed, the stranger would be welcome and any child that was in need of help would be taken in with open arms.

The weapons leaked upon the masses

I remember this well. I remember the subtle ways these weapons were leaked on the masses. The controversy over a Nash Ville girl ( a 70’s movie) who happened to show more (flesh) than we were accustomed to on our TV. Such uproar took place for several days and riled the masses to heat up the radio call in programs. Those for and those against, spoke with passion about allowing or disallowing questionable methods of mind control.

Violence

Yet we have always accepted violence as entertainment. After all there were many cowboys and Indians being massacred and karate movies were abundant. Wasn’t this Sam’s way? But it seemed like that was not enough .We got properly introduced to gore and savagery on a level we had never yet seen. There were some gasps and some oooooooos, but that died down in no time and in its stead smiles and laughter when a heart was being eaten and applause for a head being chopped from shoulders. Such was the state of television. And we gladly adopted without questions.

Consequences

But look at us 30 years later. We slowly lost track of what was accepted, what was good, what was polite. What was just.

Now we are more dependent on others to feed us, violent and rocked by a plague that is bent on killing us off. Images which were trapped in a box in my living room explodes daily on my streets. Drive bys, murders of innocent babies, rapes, senseless killings. in Intense violence in the streets.

Weapons that were not present in my boyhood days in the 70’s now pollute our streets and the minds of our people. Weapons that are mostly invisible to unseeing eyes. Weapons that destroy the mind.

If this is not mass destruction then I ask you.

What is?

and how do we wage war against the beast who has unleashed them?
