“Let me insist that “the academic” and “the intellectual” are not interchangeable terms: they are not the same thing: they may even be at the opposite ends of the scale.”

Strength and blessings to the people of St. Bess, Westmoreland, Cockpit Country, and all of Jamaica.

The split in CARICOM over its definition of the region as a “Zone of Peace” differs only in the extent, rather than form, of collaboration with US Empire. Working people in the Caribbean must seize upon this crisis to advance their own designs for power. https://t.co/tGxyETaJ2O

[Jamaica Observer @JamaicaObserver]

A tropical storm warning and a hurricane watch remain in effect as Tropical Storm Melissa moves slowly across the Caribbean Sea south-southeast of Jamaica.

This means tropical storm conditions are a possible threat to Jamaica within 36 hours and hurricane conditions are likely to pose a threat within 48 hours.
