Kingston Chronicle targets Live at 7 host .................


So the anti gay Kingston Chronicle on Wordpress is at it again with their brands of hate under the guise of satire as they say in a so called disclaimer "WARNING: The Revolution Blog - This blog contains content that is not politically correct or fake like most media." They have gone as far as to call for the death of gays and even ran a poll on how gays should be executed. Now comes a post on host of CVM's Live at 7 program, Elon Parkinson where they ask if he is supporting homosexuals? It is not the only person or group who has spoken out in fairness and tolerance that the blog's authors have attacked either.

here is the link to the story:


this kind of irresponsible blogging is sickening they continue to claim to avoid direct responsibility for their actions that:

"What we stand for & deliver

Disclaimer:
All authors and contributors content except that of “kingstonchronicle” is independent of The Kingston Chronicle, and a such The Kingston Chronicle is not responsible for the content submitted by such individuals."

The author of the damning piece continued:
"
I did not know that CVM TV program is allowed to view their personal opinion on national television when the host as far as I saw it.
Did the big bald head one who look like a battyman himself state indirectly or directly that homosexuals should have constitutional protection in Jamaica? Is this what he said?

As far as I see it appeared as such. But I do not want to make a mistake so I ask you the public who saw and heard what he said after a caller raised the similar point tell me if I am dreaming.
Also he had some half coolie chink looking man I think from JFJ, that I am sure also is always calling for battymen and sodomites to be legalized and accepted in Jamaica.
These perverts who believe it is normal for a man to stick is cock in another mans ass for sex as they are too confused to know where to put it, maybe because of early initiation along with women who think that wearing a strap on cock and sucking clit is the solution for a man want to change our laws? Now you tell me what is wrong with this picture?" ........... "Yow you a hear me. Straight bun we fi bun dem out. Jamaica could reduce energy cost by turning these perverts into street lamp torches at night, until a better solution renewable energy is finally found. No joke, serious me serious."

Now come to think of it. Jamaica has one of the most relaxed society there is. Homosexuals are not physically attacked as they claim and 99% of all violent crimes associated with them come from the hands of these sick perverts themselves inflicting against their own.
Is the clown on the show live at 7 is trying to use USA political tricks to classify the sick behaviour as if it belongs in a section of society that requires our leaders to legally address?
In the USA they use black and white people segregation to make the point that it is a human rights issue. When in fact a black faggot and a white faggot still do not have the same rights anywhere in the USA.

That in itself reduces their defense. As a black man seeking to marry a white woman is still man and woman and cannot be compared to a man seeking to marry another man or a woman seeking to marry another woman.
People let me tell you this. Do not be surprised if you hear the JLP, the G2K, the PNP, and the PNPYO come out calling for us to come in line with the the EU and Barack Obama homosexualization of America.
Homosexuality is a disease and requires zero compromise. Do you want yo see in Prep and Primary schools little boys seeking other little boys as boyfriend and girlfriend? Do you want to see little girls seeking love relationship with other little girls in schools in our schools and society?
It is no secret that from little children to tough high school students to university students the homosexuals have been active in Jamaica. Unite now and destroy this face of evil. Do not listen to your church as they too serve satan and claim it must come to past.

Come to past my fucking rass. While they sit in church and wait for their Jesus I saw exterminate the homosexual disease once and for all. Never let it rise to any power in Jamaica, we have seen all their media and political tricks.
They tried to get into the USA military war machine and failed. Can you imagine if they had succeeded and decided to wage war against us over their battyman and sodomite lovers and supporters in Jamaica?

Do it for your children and grand children. Do not be afraid. Bruce Golding already switch and sell out trust me. I have the video to prove this.
You think I was joking when I made that claim huh? Recall when Bruce said not in his Cabinet and not under his watch about laws and these deviants? He sound defiant, big and bad. But now sound more friendly to these sickos. WTF?
Well true to Bruce form that was but the half truth,as he knows very well that after serving two terms anything and anything can take place in regards to that.
So how come after the BBC interview and sound so tuff pon the issue Bruce flip and flop pon the topic on the homosexual problem? Mixing then matching his words to appease the nasty people."

As for the comments the counteractions was a spark to me and shows persons are not taking it lying down:

"fuck you all, its there ass if they wanna take cocks in it, you all too malicious,people have freedom of choice and speach in jamaica, if you all have a problem with peoples choice, go burry us selfs"

"First of all, this article loses its credibility from the beginning when the author begins to say the host “look like a battyman”. For someone who wants his blog to be taken seriously, what a silly comment! Although, it usually takes one to know one.
The next thing is that whether or not the host said it and in case U did not know, homosexuality is NOT illegal in Jamaica. The law against Buggery which dates back to the early 1900s outlaws anal sex, whether between a man and another man or a man and another woman or two women, regardless of what implements have been used during the act.
Do us all a favour, before U go casting false and libelous accusations against the media professional – go read the Laws of Jamaica and more importantly, the Jamaica Constitution.
It would appear U have libeled and defamed the host based on your headline and words said in the body of your blog. I don’t think the placing of a question mark at the front of the headline will save U.
U can still be sued for libel perpetrated on the Internet. I will be forwarding the link to CVM-TV. I really hope their lawyers take action against U."

"this blog iz really stupid n homophobic. its one of the worst iv e seen. iv gotta wonder ‘does the author protest too much?’ ‘iz a secret battyman in the writer’s closet?’ i thnk so"

"to the haters of gay people , you really do not have the right to judge the next mans choice. Its called human rights we all have the right to choose which road we wish to travel on. right or wrong in your eyes doesnt change the fact all of us have the right to choose .Love comes in all shapes sizes colors greed’s and genders ,Life is about being happy and as long as we are consulting adults it shouldn’t have to be passed by another for approval.I have never read such filth such ignorance such hatred as this post above.The man is clearly unwell and is so out of touch with reality and life in the 21st century.
He is entitled to his opinions but should have constructive discussions and an open mind , but it seemed to me he got of with all those statements he was making regarding the sexual practice .It is not a disease,it isnt catching ,it isnt something you go to council ling for ,whether we are born like it ; choose it as a life style; isnt an issue ,its the right to choose .And please dont quote any bible verse because as i see it the man you call Jesus was gay ,why did he have 12 men follow him around ,if that was today what would you say or think. [that they were gay] .So to the vilest person on this planet who wrote that sickening article please go get a life and leave people alone to live theirs"

Enough said

Peace and tolerance

Bad Man Nuh F*** Batty (Masculine Men Don't F*** Ass) (The Fear of The Feminine in JA ) 16.04.15


A look at the fear of the feminine (Effemophobia) by Jamaican standards & how it drives the homo-negative perceptions/homophobia in Jamaican culture/national psyche.



After catching midway a radio discussion on the subject of Jamaica being labelled as homophobic I did a quick look at the long held belief in Jamaica by anti gay advocates, sections of media and homophobes that several murders of alleged gay victims are in fact 'crimes of passion' or have jealousy as their motives but it is not as simple or generalized as that.

The Hypocrisy of Jamaican Anti Gay Groups & Selective Actions of Societal Ills


The selectivity of the anti gay religious voices on so called societal ills is examined in this podcast as other major issues that require the "church" to have spoken up including sexual abuse by pastors in recent times yet mere silence on those matters is highlighted.

Why are these groups and so called child rights activists creating mass hysteria and have so much strength for HOMOSEXUALITY but are quiet on corruption in government, missing children, crime in the country and so much more but want to stop same gender loving persons from enjoying peace of mind and PRIVACY?

Also is the disturbing tactic of deliberately conflating paedophilia with same gender sex as if to suggest reforming the buggery law will cause an influx of buggered children when we know that is NOT TRUE.

MSM/Trans homeless - From gully to graveyard



When are lives interrupted be allowed a real honest chance to move from interruption to independence and stability? I just cannot tell you friends.

An article appeared in the gleaner today that just sent me into sadness mode again with this ugly business of LGBTQI homelessness. The author of the piece needs an intervention too as he (Ryon Jones) uses terms such as cross dressers and or homeless men which if transgender persons are present they cannot be described or seen as such, sigh another clear display of the lack of impact and reach of so called advocacies and advocates who are more interested in parading as working but really aint having much impact as they ought to or claim.

We are told of houses being put together from time in memorial; the Dwayne’s House project seems dead in the water, the Larry Chang (named after a JFLAG cofounder) seems stuck in the mud and Colour Pink’s so called Rainbow House seems insignificant in relation to the size and scope of the national problem. JFLAG as presented on this blog is obviously not interested in getting their hands dirty really on homelessness save and except for using the populations as cannon fodder and delegating same; as far as I am concerned presenting them as victims of homophobia which is true but where are the programs and the perceived millions donated or granted since President Obama’s visit to address LGBTQ matters?

Dr Shelly Ann Weeks on Homophobia - What are we afraid of?


Former host of Dr Sexy Live on Nationwide radio and Sexologist tackles in a simplistic but to the point style homophobia and asks the poignant question of the age, What really are we as a nation afraid of?


It seems like homosexuality is on everyone's tongue. From articles in the newspapers to countless news stories and commentaries, it seems like everyone is talking about the gays. Since Jamaica identifies as a Christian nation, the obvious thought about homosexuality is that it is wrong but only male homosexuality seems to influence the more passionate responses. It seems we are more open to accepting lesbianism but gay men are greeted with much disapproval.

Dancehall has certainly been very clear where it stands when it comes to this issue with various songs voicing clear condemnation of this lifestyle. Currently, quite a few artistes are facing continuous protests because of their anti-gay lyrics. Even the law makers are involved in the gayness as there have been several calls for the repeal of the buggery law. Recently Parliament announced plans to review the Sexual Offences Act which, I am sure, will no doubt address homosexuality.

Jamaica has been described as a homophobic nation. The question I want to ask is: What are we afraid of? There are usually many reasons why homosexuality is such a pain in the a@. Here are some of the more popular arguments MORE HERE

The Deliberate Misuse of the “Sexual Grooming” Term by Antigay Fanatics to Promote Their Hysteria



Just as I researched on-line in NOT EVEN five minutes and found a plethora of information and FACTS on Sexual Grooming (and thanks to Dr Karen Carpenter for some valuable insight I found out what Sexual Grooming was) so too must these fanatics go and do the same and stop creating panic in the country.

The hysteria continues from the Professor Bain so called protests to protect freedom of speech and bites at the credibility of the LGBT lobby collectively continues via Duppies Dupe UWI articles when the bigger principle of the conflict of interest in regards to the greater imperative of removing/preserving archaic buggery laws in the Caribbean dependent on which side one sits is of greater import when the professor’s court testimony in Belize went against the imperative of CHART/PANCAP goals is the more germane matter of which he was former head now temporarily reinstated via a court ex-parte injunction.

JFLAG Excludes Homeless MSM from IDAHOT Symposium on Homelessness



Reminder

In a shocking move JFLAG decided not to invite or include homeless MSM in their IDAHO activity for 2013 thus leaving many in wonderment as to the reason for their existence or if the symposium was for "experts" only while offering mere tokenism to homeless persons in the reported feeding program. LISTEN TO THE AUDIO ENTRY HERE sad that the activity was also named in honour of one of JFLAG's founders who joined the event via Skype only to realize the issue he held so dear in his time was treated with such disrespect and dishonor. Have LGBT NGOs lost their way and are so mainstream they have forgotten their true calling?

Steps to take when confronted by the police & your rights compromised:


a) Ask to see a lawyer or Duty Council

b) Only give name and address and no other information until a lawyer is present to assist

c) Try to be polite even if the scenario is tense

d) Don’t do anything to aggravate the situation

e) Every complaint lodged at a police station should be filed and a receipt produced, this is not a legal requirement but an administrative one for the police to track reports

f) Never sign to a statement other than the one produced by you in the presence of the officer(s)

g) Try to capture a recording of the exchange or incident or call someone so they can hear what occurs, place on speed dial important numbers or text someone as soon as possible

h) File a civil suit if you feel your rights have been violated

i) When making a statement to the police have all or most of the facts and details together for e.g. "a car" vs. "the car" represents two different descriptions

j) Avoid having the police writing the statement on your behalf except incases of injuries, make sure what you want to say is recorded carefully, ask for a copy if it means that you have to return for it

Vacant at Last! ShoemakerGully: Displaced MSM/Trans Persons were is cleared December 2014





CVM TV carried a raid and subsequent temporary blockade exercise of the Shoemaker Gully in the New Kingston district as the authorities respond to the bad eggs in the group of homeless/displaced or idling MSM/Trans persons who loiter there for years.

Question is what will happen to the population now as they struggle for a roof over their heads and food etc. The Superintendent who proposed a shelter idea (that seemingly has been ignored by JFLAG et al) was the one who led the raid/eviction.

New Kingston Cop Proposes Shelter for Shoemaker Gully LGBT Homeless Population




Superintendent Murdock

The same cop who has factored in so many run-ins with the youngsters in the Shoemaker Gully (often described as a sewer by some activists) has delivered on a promise of his powerpoint presentation on a solution to the issue in New Kingston, problem is it is the same folks who abandoned the men (their predecessors) from the powerful cogs of LGBT/HIV that are in earshot of his plan.

This ugly business of LGBTQ homelessness and displacements or self imposed exile by persons has had several solutions put forth, problem is the non state actors in particular do not want to get their hands dirty as the more combative and political issues to do with buggery's decriminalization or repeal have risen to the level of importance more so than this. Let us also remember this is like the umpteenth meeting with the cops, some of the LGBT homeless persons and the advocacy structure.

Remember JFLAG's exclusion of the group from that IDAHO symposium on LGBT homelessess? See HERE, how can we ask the same people who only want to academise and editorialise the issue to also try to address their own when they do not want to get their hands dirty but publish wonderful reports as was done earlier this month, see HERE: (re)Presenting and Redressing LGBT Homelessness in Jamaica: Towards a Multifaceted Approach to Addressing Anti-Gay Related Displacement also LGBT homelessness has always been with us from the records of Gay Freedom Movement(1974) to present but the current issues started from 2009, see: The Quietus ……… The Safe House Project Closes and The Ultimatum on December 30, 2009 as carried on sister blog Gay Jamaica Watch.

BUSINESS DOWNTURN FOR THE WEED-WHACKING PROJECT FOR FORMER DISPLACED ST CATHERINE MSM



As promised here is another periodical update on an income generating/diligence building project now in effect for some now seven former homeless and displaced MSM in St Catherine, it originally had twelve persons but some have gotten jobs elsewhere, others have simply walked away and one has relocated to another parish, to date their weed whacking earning business capacity has been struggling as previous posts on the subject has brought to bear.

Although some LGBT persons residing in the parish have been approached by yours truly and others to increase client count for the men costs such as gas and maintenance of the four machines that are rotated between the enrolled men are rising weekly literally while the demand is instead decreasing due to various reasons.



Newstalk 93FM's Issues On Fire: Polygamy Should Be Legalized In Jamaica 08.04.14



debate by hosts and UWI students on the weekly program Issues on Fire on legalizing polygamy with Jamaica's multiple partner cultural norms this debate is timely.

Also with recent public discourse on polyamorous relationships, threesomes (FAME FM Uncensored) and on social.


What to Do .....




a. Make a phone call: to a lawyer or relative or anyone

b. Ask to see a lawyer immediately: if you don’t have the money ask for a Duty Council

c. A Duty Council is a lawyer provided by the state

d. Talk to a lawyer before you talk to the police

e. Tell your lawyer if anyone hits you and identify who did so by name and number

f. Give no explanations excuses or stories: you can make your defense later in court based on what you and your lawyer decided

g. Ask the sub officer in charge of the station to grant bail once you are charged with an offence

h. Ask to be taken before a justice of The Peace immediately if the sub officer refuses you bail

i. Demand to be brought before a Resident Magistrate and have your lawyer ask the judge for bail

j. Ask that any property taken from you be listed and sealed in your presence

Cases of Assault:An assault is an apprehension that someone is about to hit you

The following may apply:

1) Call 119 or go to the station or the police arrives depending on the severity of the injuries

2) The report must be about the incident as it happened, once the report is admitted as evidence it becomes the basis for the trial

3) Critical evidence must be gathered as to the injuries received which may include a Doctor’s report of the injuries.

4) The description must be clearly stated; describing injuries directly and identifying them clearly, show the doctor the injuries clearly upon the visit it must be able to stand up under cross examination in court.

5) Misguided evidence threatens the credibility of the witness during a trial; avoid the questioning of the witnesses credibility, the tribunal of fact must be able to rely on the witness’s word in presenting evidence

6) The court is guided by credible evidence on which it will make it’s finding of facts

7) Bolster the credibility of a case by a report from an independent disinterested party.

Notes on Bail & Court Appearance issues


If in doubt speak to your attorney

Bail and its importance -

If one is locked up then the following may apply:
Locked up over a weekend - Arrested pursuant to being charged or detained There must be reasonable suspicion i.e. about to commit a crime, committing a crime or have committed a crime.

There are two standards that must be met:

1). Subjective standard: what the officer(s) believed to have happened

2). Objective standard: proper and diligent collection of evidence that implicates the accused To remove or restrain a citizen’s liberty it cannot be done on mere suspicion and must have the above two standards

 Police officers can offer bail with exceptions for murder, treason and alleged gun offences, under the Justice of the Peace Act a JP can also come to the police station and bail a person, this provision as incorporated into the bail act in the late nineties

 Once a citizen is arrested bail must be considered within twelve hours of entering the station – the agents of the state must give consideration as to whether or not the circumstances of the case requires that bail be given

 The accused can ask that a Justice of the Peace be brought to the station any time of the day. By virtue of taking the office excluding health and age they are obliged to assist in securing bail

"Bail is not a matter for daylight

Locked up and appearing in court

 Bail is offered at the courts office provided it was extended by the court; it is the court that has the jurisdiction over the police with persons in custody is concerned.

 Bail can still be offered if you were arrested and charged without being taken to court a JP can still intervene and assist with the bail process.

Other Points of Interest

 The accused has a right to know of the exact allegation

 The detainee could protect himself, he must be careful not to be exposed to any potential witness

 Avoid being viewed as police may deliberately expose detainees

 Bail is not offered to persons allegedly with gun charges

 Persons who allegedly interfere with minors do not get bail

 If over a long period without charge a writ of habeas corpus however be careful of the police doing last minute charges so as to avoid an error

 Every instance that a matter is brought before the court and bail was refused before the accused can apply for bail as it is set out in the bail act as every court appearance is a chance to ask for bail

 Each case is determined by its own merit – questions to be considered for bail:

a) Is the accused a flight risk?

b) Are there any other charges that the police may place against the accused?

c) Is the accused likely to interfere with any witnesses?

d) What is the strength of the crown’s/prosecution’s case?

 Poor performing judges can be dealt with at the Judicial Review Court level or a letter to the Chief Justice can start the process

Battle Lines Javed Jaghai versus the state & the Jamaica Buggery Law



Originally aired on CVM TV December 8th 2013, apologies for some of the glitches as the source feed was not so hot and it kept dropping from source or via the ISP, NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED and is solely for educational and not for profit use and review. The issue of the pending legal challenge in the Constitutional Court in Jamaica as filed by Javed Jaghai an outspoken activist who happens also to be openly aetheist.

The opposing sides are covered as well such as
The Jamaica Coalition for a Healthy Society
The Love March
Movement Jamaica

The feature seems destined for persons who are just catching up to the issues and repositioning JFLAG in particular in the public domain as their image has taken a beating in some respects especially on the matter of the homeless MSM front. They need to be careful that an elitist perception is not held after this after some comments above simplistic discourse, the use of public agitation as beneath some folks and the obvious overlooking of the ordinary citizen who are realy the ones who need convincing to effect the mindset change needed and the national psyche's responses to homosexuality in general.
