Where is CARIBANA heading

I looked at the EXECUTIVE SUMMARY of CAG on its Website and started seeing some potholes. Then there is mention of when Canada abolished slavery, as if that was the reason for Caribana’s entry into lives of Caribbean people, who were residents of Toronto in 67. CAG has lost the vision of what CARIBANA is all about. During this year Carnival festival, CTV claimed the festival started in 67 because of the abolishment of slavery in Canada. These false claims have us believing “we have lost that loving feeling” for our festival and are taking the festival way out of its route and into a gully. 

I believe CAG must go back to the original name CCC (Caribbean Cultural Committee), because there is nothing I have seen so far, on its website that relates to Carnival Culture.  

Caribana was not started as an ART group, and I see nothing that links Caribana to ART.  

Art may play a part in designing costumes, but that's not what started people playing MAS in the late 1800 hundreds in T&T, Grenada and SVG. The Govenor's in these islands tried to clamp down on the celebration but failed because the black people rebelled against the attempt to stop them.  

Several other Caribbean islands only started Carnival festivities after they saw the money that the event generated from tourism. The islands of Jamaica and Barbados took more than one hundred years to include carnival on the islands, so neither can claim carnival as part of their culture because the festival did not start on these islands because of the abolishment of slavery.   

The various levels of government will always control FMC because FMC has no plans to look at the events that once had the festival earning its own funds.  

I know from day one the government blocked the organization from having functions and events to make money. Their first refusal was a raffle that the 67 organization was looking at. Then the boat rides became city control after many years.  

I recently saw where they are now trying to get more boats to take people to the islands. I can remember when CCC had to cancel the Center Island event because people had to wait hours to get there.  

CAG does not have a plan to retake the festival or start one on its own. The reason: it does not have the backing of the Caribbean community and doesn’t know what attracts them.  

Even though FMC controls the ingredients that cover the festival (the King and Queen, and the parade) it still lacks the knowledge and resources to run previous CCC events. The very successful Kiddies parade does not raise enough funds for the organization.  

The only idea that has some merit is that which wants FMC to use the name Caribana. This can and will keep the name alive and reintroduce the "Miss Caribana Pageant", if FMC works with CAG. 

Today other ethnic groups use July to stage their events, pushing Caribana off the stage. Soon the name Caribana will disappear, unless and until the week before the parade is reclaimed, and Caribbean events introduced: Pan food and soca are the ingredients for this come-back plan.  

Many of the people on CAG board lack the skills and knowledge to take or bring back the festival to the Caribbean community. The name CARIBANA is slowly sinking in the mud and will soon disappear. Soon the name will disappear from the vocabulary of young people. 

There is still an opportunity for CAG if it tries to reintroduce the “Miss Caribana Pageant”, by working with FMC. Then it can look at staging a show “The Night of the Stars” on the Friday Night before the festival.  They can bring in Soca artists with very popular songs from several islands to perform. There can be a youth tenor pans competition where the youths' players use DJ background music to get the congregation dancing and singing along. This would take care of the steel pan section of the festival. I am sure this event will attract more than 30,000 people. Tickets sold at $50 or $60 can bring in more than $1million ($1,500,000) 

 

The board should also have members looking at different plans to revive and rebuild the organization using CCC. The word “ART” took the festival out of the Caribbean people's vision. Caribana was and is part of the Caribbean people’s culture.  

Finally: why are Indians controlling the security for the festival? How can FMC or some folks complain that the government doesn’t support black Caribbean businesses and entrepreneurs. Indians have taken over many businesses in Canada. You go into the banks, Canadian Tyre, Bell, Rogers, KFC and they are all controlled by Indians. Even the condo where I live is controlled and manage by Indians. They don’t allow any other nationalities in the puppy hole.  

They were after CCC for many years when we had the T-shirt design competition. One guy would come from Montreal to see who won the competition then flood the street and shops with our T-shirt design product.  

If we leave the door open, they will come in like they did in T&T, where the police rounded up black people from other islands and shipped them out. Meanwhile the Indians brought their people to the island and soon they outnumbered the black population that was there before “Indian Arrival Day”.  

Please correct me if any of my observations are incorrect. I do make mistakes, but I am never wrong. I am putting this info on my BLOG where you can reply to it, or you can check me out on Facebook. 

 

 

China will move on Taiwan in 2024

I am proud to see SVG come out in favour of South Africa position. I was never a Mandela supporter. His vision for South Africa and all of Africa was way off base.  

South Africa know the effect apartheid has on a population and that’s why it had to stand up for the Palestinians who have endured this terrible situation for more that 70 years with the support of the US, UK and several EU countries.  

The reason for this support to let their Jewish citizen move to Israel and occupy the lands that Israel usurped from the Palestinians. This is one reason why so many foreign Jews were captured by Hamas. On the other hand, the government of Israel don’t show any emphasis for returning the hostages because they are Jews from the US, UK and some EU nations. 

It's ironic that those same nations are working against Russia for doing the same thing that Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank. Which opens the Pandora box for China to invade Taiwan. America will be unable to support or help Taiwan when China makes it move, because it is occupied in wars in too many other countries. I am predicting that China will make its move in 2024 and Taiwan must be prepared to go it alone.  

America has taken the wrong side of the Gaza issue in not asking Israel to stop killing children and women. Meanwhile the men stay alive to become part of the new Hamas. How can they accept the behaviour of Israel and continue to live when their siblings, wives, children, fathers and mothers were killed by the terrorist Israel nation with its apartheid behaviour with the help of Apartheid Joe.

America has lost its position as the world popular and most honest nation with its support of Israel. Today it's a divided nation that has a previous president trying to become it first dictator. Donald Trump will turn the US into another Russia, China and North Korea constituency. All ruled for life by dictators.

Joe has to go! He started out very well, but the Gaza situation has destroyed his legacy.

The Gaza chaotic problem for America

 The Democrats in the US are dissatisfied with Joe Biden, yet they cannot name who can and should replace him to beat Donald Thump. 

They don’t have to look very far to see who should and can replace Old Joe. Hillary Clinton can do it. She whipped the pants off Donald and can and will do it again. They should hold on to Joe until April or May next year and then open the gates to Hilary. Meanwhile her name should be mentioned to take some strain off Joe who is really suffering from unnecessary attacks on him, his son and his age. 

Let Hillary choose a black woman to be her vice-president and that will close the gap between black voters and white voters.  

Right now, Joe is on his way out and so is America as the world's most famous and powerful nation. America stole Palestinian land several years ago and the gave it the ammunition to destroy the Palestinian society and kill its people.  

For years they have given Israel money and guns to hunt and kill any Palestinian who voiced their objection to their plight. Now the chicken is coming home to rouse. They may get rid of the name Hamas, but the chaos created will be there for many years and so will be the aim and objective of the younger population to obtain freedom.  

If Israel refuses to return to the 1967 plan of a two-state system, then it should be eliminated by any means necessary.  

America doesn't have the manpower to defend itself and Israel. Most or all the nations controlled by dictators have armies that outnumber the American units by thousands. The young people will not go to war created by old men in congress. They have learned and seen what happened to their fathers, uncles, siblings when George Bush falsely accused Iraq of having weapons of mass destruction.  

Why is America still in the Middle East? All it’s doing is supplying ammunition to the area to continue unnecessary conflicts. China saw the opportunity to help some areas worldwide with means to upgrade their economies. It hasn’t been supplying arms to grow crops and help the population live normal lives. Its objections are still questionable, but it’s far more welcoming to these nations than the America way. 

When China is ready to move on Taiwan America will not be able to respond, just like the argument it uses for the Ukraine war. It has no boots to put in any war, even if its homeland is attacked.  

Are we seeing the ingredients of a WORLD-WAR3

 

 

What goes around comes around! Hamas has finally reacted after several years in Israel’s Guantanamo Bay detention camp. Biden has it wrong and Putin has it right when he said the solution is a two-state solution.

Biden is now talking about silence when he remained silent when and after Israel stole the Palestinians lands. Now he has placed American in danger worldwide. No one will respect American just like it happened before.

They travelled as Canadians then, now Canadians are also in danger after Trudeau opens his big mouth supporting what Israel is doing In Gaza. We still must remove our shoes when travelling on a plane, now we may have to remove our drawers as well.

America has lost all credibility worldwide. It can’t support Ukraine war with Russia and turn a blind eye to what the Palestinians have been going through for decades. All those white European countries also are supporting Israel. I am yet to see the crimes Israel claimed Hamas did to its people.

There is already a backlash against supporters of Israel worldwide and this can and will continue for years.

America doesn’t have the manpower to get involved in war worldwide and at home. The war in Congress is still taking place before and after January 6th.

 

America was once the world’s superpower now it’s on the way out – just like Rome many decades ago. We need another world war to get nations back on track and let the people decide their destiny, instead of those dictators and politicians whose only interest in the next election is to stay in power.

 

There are no safe places in this world today. The criminal politicians have done this to their people and the people are now paying for it.

I didn't realize that the American congress was Jew-ISK until the crisis with Hamas brought it to the surface. Now criminal Netanyahu is inviting Biden to Israel to help keep him out of jail. This is dangerous for Americans and Biden should stay in the White House. Biden is sending the wrong message to the world when he visited Israel. There was no reason for him to visit Israel during this chaotic session. 

 

For decades the EU nations were backing Israel. They said nothing and done nothing while Israel was killing Palestinians and stealing their land. The reason is, Israel is following the same route those countries took in Africa, Asia and many nations. India had to fight like hell to get rid of Britain. France tried to colonize the world by taking over many countries and is paying for those criminal adventures.

  

After many years the chicken is coming home to rouse. Hamas has had enough and is striking back. Trying to take Hamas out may only affect a limb; However Toussaint who was fooled by Napoleon had it right when he said taking off a limb still leaves the root of the tree.  

I often wondered why congress said nothing when Netanyahu started claiming Palestinian lands and sent regular army folks to the West Bank where they murdered young Palestinians.  

These youth were defenseless and only had what David use to kill Goliath. However, Hamas had weapons and will use it to defend their territory. Even though America complained that Iran supplied Hamas with weapons it also supplies Israel with weapons to. So where is the beef! 

The world is finally coming to the aid of the Palestinians after watching how they were treated for more than half a century.  

 

The war with Hamas ans Israel

 

 

What goes around comes around! Hamas has finally reacted after several years in Israel’s Guantanamo Bay detention camp. Biden has it wrong and Putin has it right when he said the solution is a two-state solution.

AGE IS JUST A NUMBER

Age is just a number. But so is experience. Right now there is no member of Congress that has the experience to lead America in this tumultuous world.

China, Russia and North Korea are the three nations controlled by dictators who want to stay in control for life. The American president is the only one to rally the world so that there is not another world war, or just in case there is one then the dictators will lose. Many nations are combining their military forces to deter and combat any nations to take parts of their country, just like what Russia is presently doing in Ukraine. 

The youths today don’t care and don’t know what’s happening politically and globally.  They are more concerned about becoming rich by any means necessary. Talks of passing control to them are putting the cart before the horse. Democracy is a thing of the past in many nations, especially the dictatorial nations mentioned earlier.  

Today Biden the US president is the one with all the knowledge to keep the dictators under control. He is also the only person who is willing to see the middle class workers earn some of the money they generate to large corporations who make millions during any pandemic. They make millions and funds trickle down to the workers who help them earn those funds.

Today the workers are forming unions to ensure some of those funds make it to their pockets. And they will! For years large businesses and corporations tried to deter workers from forming unions so they could control them. Not anymore because workers are now aware of the billions these businesses and corporations herd in their bank accounts. Workers worldwide are getting together to earn piece of this pie.

President Biden is the only one who is standing up for the working middle, but some Americans are picking on his age for the wrong reason. Kamala Harris is who white America is after. They know she will succeed to become the next president of America if and when Biden wins the 2024 election. The Republicans are trying to find any and all false reasons to place in Biden’s backyard. The previous attacks about the border and the economy are things of the past and he has put them to rest. Hence the Republicans are looking for any and all excuses to destroy Biden. So far he is the best president America has seen for more than 400 years.

His age is the disadvantage he has over any other candidate. He knows the world politically, nationally and economically and that’s why Putin, XI and Kim are afraid to try any form of a war to take control of other nations.

Age is just a number but so is experience and Biden has both and should be praised by Americans for his ability to handle the world’s problems. His low rating numbers are there because of Vice-President Kamala Harris who will be the first black, woman and president of America.
