  2. US Pressure On Cuba Is Harming Jamaica and The Caribbean Health Sector

    US Pressure On Cuba Is Harming Jamaica and The Caribbean Health Sector

    According to the Jamaica Gleaner, Jamaica is ending its longstanding medical cooperation arrangement with Cuba, a move that is already creating uncertainty, delays, and concern within the health sector. Jamaica’s government has said the two sides could not agree on new terms and also pointed to labour and legal concerns in the existing arrangement. At the same time, the broader context is impossible to ignore: this decision comes amid intensified U.S. pressure on Cuba and Washington’s campaign against Cuba’s overseas medical missions. In my view, this is not happening in a vacuum. The United States has been pushing countries to reconsider or sever ties with Cuba, including in the health sector, while accusing Cuba’s medical missions of forced labour—an allegation many Caribbean leaders have rejected. Reuters reported that Jamaica is the latest country to roll back medical cooperation with Cuba under pressure from the Trump administration, and similar disruptions are now being seen elsewhere in the region. Guyana is also facing a similar problem. The Associated Press reported that Cuban doctors are preparing to leave Guyana after disputes over payment arrangements, again in a climate shaped by U.S. pressure and wider efforts to isolate Cuba. AP also noted that Jamaica, Honduras, and several other Caribbean countries have been reconsidering how these programmes are structured. The Caribbean has long depended on Cuban medical personnel to help fill critical shortages, especially in underserved areas. So if Washington’s policy helps trigger the collapse of these partnerships, then the United States cannot wash its hands like Pontius Pilate and walk off stage. It has a responsibility to help address the gap its policy has helped create. If the U.S. wants Caribbean governments to end or reduce their medical ties with Cuba, then it should also help provide the doctors, nurses, training, and investment needed to protect healthcare in Jamaica and across the region.

    The Power of General Studies Preparing Minds for a Complex World, Presentation by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie at Jamaica Theological Seminary

    On March 13th I spoke at a College to Students in the General Studies Department at Jamaica Theological Seminary on The Power and Value of General Studies. I shared my journey, highlighting how interdisciplinary studies have made me into a world citizen. In the beginning we wrapped for 20 minutes then I spoke: The Power of General Studies: Preparing the Mind for a Complex World Good morning students, faculty, and friends. Life, if we are honest about it, is really about people—people and how people relate to one another. Yet life is also something else: it is what you make of it… or what you allow others to make of it for you. That realization did not come to me overnight. It came through experience, travel, struggle, and most importantly through the kind of thinking that General Studies encourages. Today I want to share my journey with you, and through that journey show you why General Studies is one of the most valuable foundations you can have for life Renaldo McKenzie is author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality Poverty and Resistance and the upcoming book: Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations.

    How Do You Define Trump's Presidency and Leadership So Far?

    Bully, Duplicitous, Hypocritical, Arrogant, Juvenile, dishonest, Racist, Revengeful are the adjectives used to assess Donald Trump's presidency and leadership today, as we brace ourselves for a war; we thought wars were far from his America first agenda. Author of the Upcoming Book, Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered: Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations, Rev. Renaldo McKenzie sits down with his twin brother, Ricardo McKenzie, and explored the failures of Trump's leadership in America and the World today. Renaldo begins with a terse and strident rebuke of the President for his double-steps, incendiary actions towards other leaders and turning his back on America First. Renaldo and Ricardo discusses the US-Israel's war with Iran in the Middle East and even go as far as to describe the Trump's declarations as empty, an attempt to save face as the regime in Iran did not change and the war seems to be dragging out further and creating a world crisis larger than Trump expected. Trump dragged the US into a war that was poorly planned and executed without informing US allies and has even injured American credibility in the world and long standing partnerships but now wants to go to war when we need those partnerships. It is quite foolish and daunting and arrogant to think we can upset the world and now ask them for their support. This is an intense episode of The Neoliberal Round Podcast which is a media and information Non-Profit platform aimed at making popular what was the monopoly. The Neoliberal Round is operated by Renaldo McKenzie and The Neoliberal Corporation.
