55 years ago today, Aretha took home her 4th consecutive Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, for "Don't Play That Song." But it was her unexpected rendition of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" that really stole the show. Read more: https://t.co/Ynn3aqc2uV

Michael Manley’s love for Jamaica, and his friendship with Castro, is why the CIA destabilized Jamaica. They did it by sending in an “economic hitman” (there’s a documentary about it on YouTube) and by arming inner-city youths with guns, which helped spark a bloody political election. Before that, there were no guns in Jamaica, and the Jamaican dollar was equal in value to the U.S. dollar.

That eventually cascaded into a CIA-backed drug trade involving Jamaican gangsters who were given visas to New York. This later fueled the “Posse Wars” between Black American drug lords and rival Jamaican factions (Shower Posse and Spranglers Posse). There’s also an episode on the show American Gangsters on this. Shower Posse alone were responsible for 1500 murders in NY and Miami in the 80s during the height of the drug trade.

Some of those same factions were also involved in the attempted assassination of Bob Marley, shooting him several times (Jim Brown is the culprit. Long story on him, who the government ended up double-crossing and killing). Bob Marley was pushing unity and peace in the midst of the CIA orchestrated political violence. Right as he planned a peace concert between the two warring political factions, he was shot the day before the concert. A plot to silence a respected voice who the people would listen to.

The violence and destabilization of so many Third World countries isn’t accidental. It’s often a system engineered to create dependence on the United States, steal their resources and keep people focused inward, fighting each other, which ultimately weakens both the population and the country itself.
