What a way to celebrate my 200th post.
The biggest question today is: Where is Christopher Coke?
Christopher Dudus Coke
Kingston, Jamaica today May27, 2010 is still under a state of emergency. The unrest is spreading to other communities that have known gangs. It is the morning after Keith Clarke the brother of Claude Clarke was shot and killed by police and military in a case of mistaken identity. Claude Clarke is a former government minister. Today Keith Clarke is dead. It is alleged that he was killed in full view of his wife and teenage daughter. It was reported by family members of Nationwide Radio that the security force apologized to the family for this loss. It was reported on the news that the security forces entered an uptown community of Kirkland Heights, St Andrew, Jamaica. It is alleged that Christopher Coke was hiding out at a home uptown with one of his close friends. There’s a report circulating as well that there was a shoot out at this premises. How would Kieth Clarke be killed? It is unknown, there has been no official report from the police force since this incident.
Could this be Clarke’s house?
Media
Persons from the media will be granted access to the area of Tivoli Gardens today for about an hour with limited questions asked to the security forces. Since the operation began in Western Kingston the media has not been able to enter the community to report on the current state.
Edward Seaga
Jamaican leaders are to be blamed for the current state in Jamaica. Most of the current serving politicians today have been there for 3 decades. It means that these politicians would have been in power or been around when the guns were imported and given to men to form gangs. Listen to the videos below which former Prime Minister gave to NAtionwide Radio. Pardon my recording and the shaking I am so nervous recording these videos. He gave damming reports on what steps he took to avoid this issue and makes comments on the current Prime Minister Bruce Golding.

International Media on Jamaica
The international media have been spewing horrible news about Jamaica. The Jamaican government thinks this is a huge conspiracy. A report of contention is from ABC News. Click here to read. The ABC News article states that Bruce Golding is a “criminal affiliate” of Coke. Bruce Golding has taken offense to this statement and is in dialog with his legal teal to press charges. However, the ABC News also claimed in the same report that gun men controlled the Kingston Public Hospital which is false information.

There are reports that the police force is burning bodies in the Western Kingston area. These reports have been denied by the top commanders overseeing this operation. Read the report by CNN by clicking here. The reports of the force burning the bodies is a serious allegation. In addition to the burning of bodies the police force is also burying the decomposing bodies without the notification of family members. I hope this will end very soon.

Same here. I’m somewhat confused as to what’s going on. All I know is there’s a great deal of civil unrest. Obviously, I need a primer on all of this.
Stay safe.

What makes people do what they do sometimes? This is a story that needs to be recognized. Too many innocent people are affected in these situations. Stay well. Thank you for your updates.

Thank you for posting these radio interviews, the picture to me is becoming clearer and clearer. This is some very serious business right here when you have a former Prime Minister disputing official versions of events and I believe exactly what he’s saying about this basically being a huge coverup on the part of the current Prime Minister Bruce Golding. First off, no one in their right mind would go about catching a huge gangster so publicly…that’s what first signaled to me that there was another story going on behind the scenes. And second, like the former PM says, the photos of the dead and injured showed no weapons around the bodies so likely the police were shooting mostly unarmed people and the fact that Mr. Seaga confirmed both that bodies are being burned and that he feels as I do that Dudos probably left the country or at least the community beforehand.
This is some sinister stuff the government is doing right now and the very ironic thing is that THEIR actions are probably giving some sort of legitimacy to Dudos who has probably told inner city communities for years that the government is out to get them and set them up and would kill them for no reason at all and therefore they should turn to him and his gangs for protection in much the same way the mafia godfathers offered protection to community members in the United States when Italian immigrants first arrived.

We are all holding our collective breaths…still waiting for clarification and a conclusion…nobody should be subjected to that kind of civil unrest and instability..
just make sure you are safe, don’t take any risks, sometimes even bystanders get swept up in unfortunate situations and what it looks like from here is that there is a lot of loss of life and chaos.
a big hug from me
