Breaking News - PNP Councillor Resigns

I just got information from someone in the political circle that Councillor Julian Chang has resigned from the PNP. She had made some damaging allegations against PNP MP Dwayne Vaz, and this matter was simmering for some time. This is a developing story, and we have not heard whether or not Julian will cross the municipal authority floor to join the JLP.

These allegations against Vaz should have been dealt with by the executive of the PNP, and Bark Di Trute is not aware of this matter being dealt with. This may be the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Bark Di Trute is unable to make contact with Mrs Julian Chang.

PM And Other Citizens Coming Under Numerous Lie Attacks

Prime Minister of Jamaica, Andrew Holness

My parents have always told me to be careful of liars because those who lie will steal, and those who steal will commit murder. 

The Prime Minister, other political leaders, and citizens are coming under severe, persistent attacks on social media. Some nasty comments are being made against citizens, which can damage their reputations. Action must be taken to protect people from these vultures who spend each day scavenging for rotten meat stories to post about others.

Yesterday, someone had a podcast stating that there was a killing at the residence of the Prime Minister. It seems to me that some of these people posting these nasty comments have mental challenges, and they need help. Those who support these posts need to see a psychiatrist. These false stories are causing Jamaicans in the diaspora to become worried about their country, and they are wondering if they should return to Jamaica.

I received the following from a reputable source about the post stating that there was a killing at the PM's residence:

Contrary to the claim by a PNP blogger, no fatality occurred at the home of Prime Minister Holness.

There was a dispute between workmen after they left a worksite in St. Andrew on Friday. The dispute resulted in the death of one of the workmen.

However, to be clear, the PM does *NOT* own the property, and it is certainly not his home. 

Those allegations are total lies being promoted by the PNP in a baseless bid to get power by disparaging and discrediting the Prime Minister while he is off the island on Government business.

I don't expect the PNP, which is a reputable political party, to support the activities of these deviant media-misleading bloggers. I believe it would be a good idea for the party to disassociate itself from these people, who are damaging the party's good name.

A New Political Party Or Just A New Movement?

I received this video, and the graphics for the video is shown above. It talks about a demonstration calling for transparency and other matters. 

• Who are the organizers and leaders of this demonstration? 
• Who produced the video announcing this demonstration? 
• Did the organizers get permission from the police to have this demonstration?You say, "No one is above the law."
• Who is Michy Dex?  
• Is Michy Dex a new party leader who has come to take us to the promised land?
• Is that your voice, Michy Dex on the video? Yu sound like an Englishman!
• Should we say not to corruption or "no" to corruption?

If you are calling for transparency and accountability, then you have to start with yourselves.

I have been saying that people want a reliable water supply, pothole-free roads, and a public sector which gives outstanding customer service, but I did not see any groups joining the call. Wey oonu come from? Mi no want to join no demonstration and mek police come bus mi head!

Our Exchange Rate Over The Years

 

I decided to post the table above, showing changes in the Jamaican dollar's exchange rate against the US dollar since 1970. I did this in groups of 10 years, starting from 2025 and going back.

The Jamaican dollar (JMD) was introduced in 1969, replacing the Jamaican pound at a rate of 1 pound to 2 dollars. Britain was our colonial master. My understanding is that in the early days, the Jamaican dollar was worth more than the US dollar. Our currency then was in pounds, shillings, and pence.

We had some interesting names for the value of some of our currency in the days of pounds, shillings, and pence. A penny and a halfpenny were called a "quatty." One pound and one shilling were called a guinea. We also had a farthing, which was half of a halfpenny. I am sure there were others, but I have to depend on my readers to remind me.

.

Between 1969 and the present day, the Jamaican dollar transitioned to a floating currency and depreciated significantly against the US dollar. 

Because the Jamaican dollar did not exist before 1969, there is no exchange rate for the period between 1962 and 1969. During those earlier decades, Jamaica used the Jamaican pound (tied to the British sterling) as its official legal tender.

The question is, what went wrong when we moved away from using the currency of our colonial masters to having our own currency? Our significant trading partner is the US, so when our dollar falls in relation to the US dollar, the cost of imports goes up! It is interesting to note that the rate of the Barbadian dollar to the US dollar has been two to one for several years

Exchange rate figures were obtained from the Bank of Jamaica website.

ODPEM Confirms There Was An Earthquake Today

  

The Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM) notes that a minor earthquake was experienced in parts of eastern Jamaica at approximately 11:45 a.m. on Sunday, June 28, 2026.

Information from the Earthquake Unit, UWI Mona, indicates that the earthquake was recorded at a magnitude of 3.9 and was located approximately 5 kilometres northeast of Golden Spring, St. Andrew, at a focal depth of 12 kilometres.

The earthquake was reportedly felt in Kingston, St. Andrew, and parts of St. Catherine. At this time, ODPEM has received no reports of damage or injuries. Assessments are ongoing through parish disaster coordinators and emergency response partners.

ODPEM reminds the public that earthquakes occur without warning and encourages all Jamaicans to remain prepared.

The Earthquake Unit continues to monitor the situation and will provide updates if additional information becomes available.

Individuals who felt the earthquake are encouraged to submit reports to the Earthquake Unit to support seismic monitoring and analysis.

All Jamaicans are urged to stay alert and be prepared. For preparedness information, visit www.odpem.gov.jm or follow ODPEM on social media.

Alert Earthquake - In Jamaica

Persons have indicated to me that they felt an earthquake a few minutes ago. It seems that when we have an earthquake in Jamaica, we do not get an alert on the phone. 

The Earthquake Unit at the UWI is probably busy putting a press release together. Hopefully, we should get the message in another hour or two. They probably have to send a report to Jamaica House, and the Minister and they will send out the message when it is convenient to them.

Let us hope a tsunami is not coming. I said before that the earthquake in Venezuela was a warning to us. Have we heeded that warning? 

Let me know if you felt the quake in your area and if there is any damage. Add this as a comment to the blog or send a WhatsApp message to (876) 816-5261.

All the best.
