The Neoliberal Round Podcast by Renaldo McKenzie
Episode Script: “Faith, Film, and the Future Featuring Abria Jackson”
Creator/Host: Renaldo C. McKenzie
[Intro]
Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of The Neoliberal Round Podcast. I’m your host, Rev. Renaldo McKenzie.
Today, I’m honored to sit with the dynamic, ever-charming, and deeply talented Abria Jackson—an actress, mentor, and graduate student whose career and calling blend art, faith, and service.
Abria recently starred in Night of Violence, which opened at the prestigious FrightFest in the UK. She traveled to London with her mother to witness the premiere, and we’ll talk about that powerful experience. We’ll also dive into her work on Law & Order: Organized Crime, her inspirations from Viola Davis and Halle Berry, her mentoring of young women, and her pursuit of a master’s degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology.
[Segment 1 – The UK Premiere]
Renaldo: What was it like, sitting in that London theater with your mom, watching your film open FrightFest?
Abria: “It was very emotional. My father passed away a couple of years ago, and he was so supportive of my dream. Knowing my mom was in the audience reminded me that I have people who love me and support me. I also felt like my dad was there, watching from heaven. My mom was cheering, even when no one else was, and people around her were cracking up—it was unforgettable.”
Renaldo: What did it mean personally to have her there?
Abria: “It felt full circle. God was reminding me to keep going, that I’m on the right path. The fact that my mom was alive and present for that moment—it meant everything.”
[Segment 2 – Acting as Healing]
Renaldo: You mentioned Catwoman, a Black rock star, and Tanya from Mortal Kombat as dream roles. Why those?
Abria: “All three connect directly to my childhood. They’d heal my inner child. Acting was more than entertainment—it was spiritual. Growing up, life wasn’t always glitter and rainbows. Acting gave me an outlet, and now keeping that inner child alive helps me bring truth to every role.”
[Segment 3 – Balancing Faith, Career, and Self-Care]
Renaldo: How do you balance school, career, and everything else?
Abria: “I’m very intentional with my time. I write everything in my planner and make sure I hit my goals. But I also remind myself that you can’t pour from an empty cup. Self-care matters. For me, that’s $5 Tuesdays at the movies—it’s my reset.”
Renaldo: And your faith?
Abria: “Faith keeps me going. My mom once bought a name meaning that said Aabria means faith. That’s my story. When auditions don’t come, when money’s tight—faith carries me.”
[Segment 4 – Mentorship & Psychology]
Renaldo: Beyond acting, you’re also co-leading a mentorship group for teen girls and pursuing a master’s in counseling. What inspired that?
Abria: “Even in high school, people would come up to me and share their lives. It felt like a gift God placed in me. Now I want to perfect that gift—get licensed, gain knowledge, and help people in ways that blend spirituality and service.”
[Segment 5 – Vision & Legacy]
Renaldo: Looking ahead, what legacy do you want to build?
Abria: “When God calls me home, I want people to say my life was an act of faith. Of course, I want roles that move people. But more than that, I want to be remembered as someone who served—who gave advice, helped people, and carried them through. What profits a person to gain the world but lose their soul? Character and service—that’s the legacy I want.”
[Closing]
Abria Jackson is more than an actress—she is a storyteller, a servant, and a woman of faith. From Philly to London, from film sets to mentorship circles, her journey reminds us that art and service can walk hand in hand.
You can follow Abria on Instagram at @itsabriajackson and on TikTok under her name.
And stay tuned for her upcoming TV series Losing My Pride, expected in 2026.
Thank you for listening to The Neoliberal Round Podcast. Until next time—walk good.

Five years ago I blogged: “A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within” (W. Durant).
I was reminded of this while watching the Prime Video Movie Apocalypto. I’d recommend that y’all watch it.
Now If Trump, the GOP and MAGA want “America to be Great Again”, they may want to first stop the bleeding from within instead of applying tactics that exacerbate the wound and destroy what’s left of American greatness like that of the Mayan Kingdom. Great civilizations fall because of leaders and their supporters who share and defend their wild ideologies that put people against each other and stifle diversity and liberalism.
A great America is a strong America that looks out for all its peoples so that they can be resolute in defending any attack from without.
Black lives matter and so does white lives. Women are independent and firm just as their male counterparts. And the freedom to express our uniqueness in various forms without denigrating or denying anyone expression over another is valued and protected so as to strengthen our unity inspite of our diversity!

Question: Do you agree that Kamala Harris is not interesting and charismatic enough to be considered a leader? Twin Brothers Ricardo and Renaldo McKenzie debate whether Kamala was uncharismatic and not interesting during the last presidential election and throughout her time as VP and on Rachel Maddow Show last night 9.22.2025. It was former Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris first Live TV interview since loosing which also happen to mark the eve of the release of her new book. So the timing was no coincidence.
Nevertheless the show is intersting as the twins get heated over the topic. Ricardo on Phone and Renaldo in studios.

🎙️ Podcast Script
The Pulse, Part 21 — Twins Debate Kamala’s Lack of Charisma
INTRO (Host):
Welcome back to The Pulse. Today, the Twins spar over a sticky question: does charisma matter more than competence — and what does that mean for Kamala Harris? Buckle up.
BEAT 1 — Opening & Set-up
The Twins set the scene, warming the audience up with humor and framing the debate around “charisma” as not just style, but a political currency that either builds bridges or burns them.
BEAT 2 — Charisma vs. Competence
They wrestle with whether voters are persuaded by gravitas, policy chops, or just good vibes. One insists that competence should win out; the other argues that without charisma, the competence never gets heard.
BEAT 3 — Kamala Harris’s Record & Narrative
The talk shifts to Harris’s background: prosecutor, Senator, now VP. They ask — why hasn’t that résumé translated into presence on the national stage?
BEAT 4 — Comparisons & 2024/2025 Landscape
The Twins draw comparisons with Biden, Trump, and others. Polls, debates, swing voters — does Harris have the juice to cut through the noise?
BEAT 5 — Media Framing & Gender/Race
They critique the press: how much of this “charisma gap” is her, and how much is media bias against a Black woman in power?
BEAT 6 — Policy Substance
They highlight the disconnect: voters hear about vibes, not Harris’s policy work on the economy, student loans, and foreign affairs.
BEAT 7 — Listener Q&A / Closing
Questions roll in — is “likability” just a code word? Or does charisma, like oxygen, simply vanish when absent?
OUTRO (Host):
That’s today’s pulse check. If you learned something, send this to a friend, rate the show, and let us know what we missed. Until next time — keep your mind sharp and your heart open.
Randy declares he plans to boycott ABC until they reinstate Jimmy Kimmel. This is The Neoliberal Round Podcast Straight Talk – Part 2: Jimmy Kimmel
Renaldo McKenzie (Host):
Welcome back to The Neoliberal Round Podcast. This is another episode of Straight Talk, where we cut through the noise and speak plainly. We are in Philadelphia tonight, and before you go anywhere—let’s dive right into it.
Renaldo:
Do you watch Jimmy Kimmel?
Guest:
Occasionally.
Renaldo:
So, what do you think about the Jimmy Kimmel show being suspended by Disney and ABC?
Guest:
I think it’s crazy. The best part of the show is always the beginning—the monologue. Especially when he’s talking about the President.
Renaldo:
Right. So do you think that’s the reason the show got suspended? Because of the political edge in those monologues?
Guest:
Absolutely. That was the highlight of the show, and they couldn’t handle it. Let’s be honest—we’ve got an orange lunatic in the White House, and Kimmel was one of the few willing to call it out.
Renaldo:
(Laughs) Careful now, we don’t want them coming after this show.
Guest:
Hey—I’m just saying what I’m saying. It’s a free country, isn’t it?
Renaldo:
And that’s exactly the point. The views expressed here don’t necessarily represent The Neoliberal Round, but the principle of free speech matters. If we start silencing comedians for calling out power, where does it stop?
[Transition music beat]
Renaldo:
Here’s the thing: comedy has always been a truth-telling platform. From Richard Pryor to Jon Stewart to Kimmel, satire exposes hypocrisy. That’s what scares institutions—they’d rather suspend a show than let uncomfortable truths air.
Guest:
Exactly. It’s easier to silence the messenger than confront the message.
Renaldo:
And that’s why we’re here on Straight Talk—to remind you that democracy only works if we can laugh, critique, and hold leaders accountable without fear.
[Outro music fades in]
Renaldo:
This is The Neoliberal Round Podcast. Thanks for joining us for Part 2 of our Straight Talk series on Jimmy Kimmel. Until next time—stay tuned, stay critical, and as always, stay free.

Today is a really sad day. My little “brother” “mentee” and “friend” Malik Tribble was found dead in a black dodge car on Bmbrey street in North Philly; … killed and his body wrapped in a plastic bag and placed in the trunk of the said dodge car that was reported stolen. Violence is abhorred; yet we give ourselves the tools (guns) to carry out our wild intentions, and our world provides the stimulation and socialization that desensitize tge violence of killing e.g. “GTA”, “Baddies”, “Young and wreckless” and violent music dominate our purviews; we even have leaders who exacerbate violence by politicizing the will to address it, and have all but abandon “love” which expresses itself in constructive and sacrificial means. Not a sacrifice of martyrdom or what suicide bombers may wrongfully embrace as theirs. Love does not kill it heals and does not mock and discriminate but provides hope and empowering ways to help to preserve life and not just a particular life or way. If we are focus on ourselves then we will loose the dynamism of our world and the love for oneanother. Nevertheless, we build walls that we kill ourselves to jump over. Let there be Love.

There is breaking news on CNN: Utah prosecutors have charged the alleged shooter of Charlie Kirk with murder. The Justice Department has announced it will seek the death penalty against the 22-year-old suspect.
I have a lot of breaking comments to make, and the first is this: we are learning that the shooter, a 22-year-old young man who shot and killed Kirk, grew up in a Republican household — a white, suburban home. This already complicates the narratives forming around the case.
Reports suggest there was a conversation between the shooter and his roommate — or his boyfriend’s roommate — who happened to be transitioning. In that exchange, the shooter allegedly described his father as a “diehard MAGA fan, a diehard supporter, a diehard racist.” This is not incidental background; it reveals something about the environment in which the suspect was formed.
Predictably, Trumpists and radical Republicans are already spinning this, pointing fingers at the left, claiming that the shooter was “radicalized” by liberal culture. They even threaten war against liberals and liberal institutions in response. But the facts undermine that narrative. There is no evidence that this young man was radicalized by the left. Psychology tells us something different.
What we are seeing here is a clash of identities within one home. The father, wrapped up in Trump’s MAGA bandwagon, moved further right. The son, in rebellion, moved in the opposite direction. This is not unusual. Developmental psychology shows us that children in politically or religiously rigid homes often push against those boundaries. Here, the son’s rebellion was intensified by his father’s extreme positions, and it spiraled into something tragic.
This is not about absolving the shooter. Murder is murder. But if we are serious about preventing tragedies like this, we must understand radicalization not as a simple product of “the other side,” but as something that grows within fractured households, in communities where intolerance and extremism feed one another.
The lesson? America’s culture wars are not waged only in politics or online. They take root in living rooms, at dinner tables, between fathers and sons. And when we ignore the psychology of rebellion, resentment, and identity, we risk more young people turning violent — not because they were “programmed” by one side, but because they were caught in a cycle of radicalization at home.

The US Open ended earlier this month but here is Renaldo talking up Tennis and US players as Coco was getting set to play Osaka the Japanese American player representing Japan, how ironic.
Renaldo sits down in Philadelphia with Twin Brother Ricardo Mckenzie and Media Consultant Paul Booth for a rapid-fire Pulse: Trump’s rhetoric and “unity,” the constitutionality of sending National Guard into cities, whether militarized policing reduces crime, the real drivers of violence (poverty and inequality), and the right’s gerrymandering blitz. Then a quick pivot to sports: the Eagles’ outlook, the Chiefs loss, and why Jalen Hurts doesn’t need anyone’s validation. Straight talk, no varnish—politics, culture, and football from Philly.
- Opening in Philly — Ricardo joins Renaldo in-studio; why the moment feels tense but clarifying.
- Trump & “unity” — Missed chances to cool rhetoric; what a president owes the whole country.
- National Guard in cities — Legal/constitutional questions; why militarization isn’t a long-term public-safety strategy.
- Root causes of crime — Relative deprivation, poverty, and inequality vs. short-run deterrence; the budget tradeoff between troops/police and opportunity programs.
- Gun violence — Responsibility of ownership and the policy gap between mass shootings and everyday violence.
- Gerrymandering — Texas and beyond; why “process vs. power grab” defines the map fight, and how Democrats should respond.
- Sports pivot — Eagles confidence, Saquon’s move, Chiefs’ stumble, and Hurts’ business-first mentality.
- Calls to action — Support, subscribe, and follow links (as you read on air).

In this quick hit, Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie asks the hot question: does sending in the National Guard make cities safer—or merely look tough on TV? From Chicago to D.C., we weigh the constitutional limits on federal troop deployments, the real costs of “boots on blocks,” and the deeper drivers of violence—relative deprivation, inequality, and shrinking opportunity. If crime is born of scarcity and status gaps, can soldiers solve what schools, jobs, and housing leave undone? Short, sharp, and straight to the point—policy over posturing. Walk good.
Pull-Quotes
- “You can’t police poverty out of a paycheck.”
- “Boots on the block aren’t a business plan.”
- “If inequality is the fuel, a convoy won’t be the water.”

Renaldo McKenzie of The Neoliberal Round goes off on how the pundits are underrating the Eagles performance last night against the Cowboys. Renaldo believes the Eagles never had to do much to beat the Cowboys and that the Eagles had a thin defense and rarely got their other stars involved in the game highlighting how easy the won was.
Eagles beats the @dallascowboys easily without having to get most of their stars involved I the game. Even with a so-called undisplined defense with young guys and a supportive cast of referees Cowboys failed to stop the @Eagles.
Renaldo McKenzie is a Philly resident and Eagles fan.

It's the start of the NFL Football season and we are in Philadelphia talking to people in groups in community about the game tonight moments before kickoff.
In this impromptu episode of The Neoliberal Round, host Renaldo McKenzie goes unscripted to unpack the explosive fallout from the latest Epstein release.
Why are there protests in the streets? Why is Ghislaine Maxwell still seemingly receiving “special treatment” while countless others face the full weight of justice? And why does accountability stop when it reaches the doors of the powerful?
Renaldo explores the tangled web of Trump, Epstein, and the culture of impunity that shields elites—touching on:
- 🚨 The demonstrations demanding real justice for victims of trafficking.
- 🕸️ How Maxwell’s ties and treatment expose a double standard.
- ⚖️ A presidency steeped in criminality, hypocrisy, and selective punishment.
With his trademark clarity and biting analysis, Renaldo pulls no punches: the conversation is about power—who wields it, who manipulates it, and who pays the price.

Question: What consciousness are we trying to promote when we constantly borrow from overseas?
Prof. Renaldo Mckenzie explains the problem that Caribbean scholars run into using foreign educational material and content to present on Caribbean Issues and topography and history.
Renaldo warns that that approach is antithetical to Caribbean identity and history and continues to promote foreign concepts over Caribbean one.

Breaking News: The US is at war in the Middle East after joining with Israel to attack Iran's Nuclear sites.

Trump also had a press conference and we recorded the the Live announcement by Trump.
we then comment on the rationale of the war and whether the US should join the war.

DONTE: Why is the Trump Waiting Two weeks to join the war?
RENALDO: Trump has already made up his mind. He's just buying time. Trump shouldn't join but he may after what thr Iranian Supreme Leader did to poke the bear or the lion.
Donte: why are they going to war?
RENALDO: It's all about power. #IsraelIranConflict: Israel wants to control the region and is at war with Iran over Iran's intentions to balance the scale in the region by developing their capabilities to have nuclear weapons.

In the finale of Lecture 6, we wrap up the reflections on Re-Imagining the Caribbean - Understanding the Caribbean – Beyond the Myths and Into the Margins:
...We pick up from Point 3
- DIASPORAS AND DISPLACEMENT•African Diaspora: peoples of African descent living outside Africa.•Caribbean Diaspora: particularly Caribbean people of African descent scattered across the globe.•
These diasporas still carry the black position and face discrimination, suspicion, and containment.“They are aliens with sharp teeth—feared not for their failure but for their potential.”________________________________________
- DARK GHETTOES & INTERNALIZED MALADY• Kenneth Clark’s “Dark Ghettos”:
oExist physically and psychologically.
oNot just urban slums but socio-economic prisons.
oSeen in Philly, Kingston, Port of Spain—spaces where people are victims of fear, guilt, and greed.
oStructural conditions: overcrowding, poverty, crime.
oPsychological toll: despair, self-hate, compensatory bravado.________________________________________
- POSTCOLONIALISM AND THE VEIL THAT LINGERS•Postcolonialism ≠ Post-colony
oIt’s not the end of colonization, but the lingering effects—economic, cultural, psychological.
oFanon: both white and Black are trapped—one in superiority, the other in inferiority.
oThe need for tabula rasa—to begin anew.•Revolutions and the Paradox of IndependenceoHaiti and Cuba led true revolutions—but remained outside international community comfort zones.
oTheir struggle reflects the cost of radical freedom.________________________________________
- CENTER VS. PERIPHERY – WHOSE CULTURE MATTERS?•Homi Bhabha – “Location of Culture”:
oThe periphery: marginal voices, rejected traditions.
oThe center: dominant culture, normalized Eurocentric standards.•Rastas, Revivalists, African spirituality = periphery.•Skin lightening, accent training, rejection of roots = symptom of internalized colonialism.________________________________________
HANDOUT: Tracing Caribbean History – Before Columbus•Challenge the narrative: Begin with victory, not defeat.•Explore:
oIvan Van Sertima – They Came Before Columbus.
oAncient African navigators, civilizations that predate European contact.________________________________________
DISCUSSION & MEDIA:•Video Segment: Ivan Van Sertima•
Handout Discussion: Follow timeline through slavery, indenture, resistance, revolution.

What is the Caribbean?
- What it is not:
Not simply “a group of islands surrounded by the Caribbean Sea.”
That colonial compass would erase Belize, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.
The Caribbean is not just geography — it’s history, identity, and ideology. - A Construct, An Invention:
Ian Meeks and Norman Girvan argue the Caribbean is an invention, molded by the European gaze since 1492.
The so-called “discovery” was really colonial construction — cultural erasure dressed as exploration. - The Socio-Political Caribbean:
Social scientists ask: In whose interest is society designed?
Whose narrative dominates?
Often, the Caribbean's story has been told through the lens of its colonizers — not its people. - Economic Caribbean – A Dependent Capitalist Model:
According to Neoliberalism (2021) and the "Washington Consensus", Caribbean economies were shaped to serve external interests.
Ramesh Ramsaran: Structural Adjustment transferred power from local to global hands — a feature of life in the Global South.
These are the legacies of debt, austerity, and manufactured dependency. - Global South vs Global North:
New language, same old hierarchies.
The “Global South” replaces “Third World” — a more palatable term, but still denotes marginalization. - The Problem of the Caribbean is the Problem of the Black and Brown Position
Wherever Black or Brown bodies are found — so too is systemic exclusion.
Not due to essence, but to constructed inferiority. - Colonization as Psychological Violence:
Fanon: Colonization turns man against himself.
Du Bois: The Black soul peers through a veil, always asking: “Am I enough?”
Morrison: We are told to strive toward whiteness — only to find we can never truly arrive. - Depersonalization & Loss of Agency:
Colonialism stripped humanity. The enslaved weren’t just shackled in body — but in being.
This leads to malady: acting against our own interests. - Afrocentricity vs Eurocentricity:
Afrocentricity: a way of seeing.
Eurocentricity: the only way of seeing.
The former offers liberation. The latter demands assimilation. - Diaspora Realities:
Caribbean immigrants are often seen as threats cloaked in exoticism — "two sharp teeth," as you wrote.
Their potential is feared, their labor exploited. - Kenneth Clark’s “Dark Ghettoes”:
Ghettoes aren’t just places — they are conditions.
Whether in Philly or Kingston, Harlem or Port of Spain, these spaces reflect economic colonization.
Externally: Poor housing, crime, disease.
Internally: Apathy, self-loathing, compensatory bravado. - Postcolonial ≠ Post-Colonization
Fanon in Black Skin, White Masks: Black and White locked in a tragic performance — each role scripted by Empire.
In Wretched of the Earth: Freedom is radical; it requires rupture, not reform. - The Paradox of Independence:
Haiti and Cuba led revolutions — and were punished for their audacity.
Independence does not equal inclusion. - Homi Bhabha’s Lens:
The center is the mainstream — the dominant culture, the "norm."
The periphery is where African spirituality, literature, and lifeways have been cast.
In the Caribbean, this leads to self-scorn: bleaching skin, abandoning roots, ridiculing Revivalists or Rastafari. - Advocating a position of pre-colonial victory and agency.
- Reframes the narrative of discovery with African presence before 1492.
- CLR James (a Trini) told the story of Haitian revolutionaries, but through a European framework.
- His education gave him tools, but not always the right lens.
- We question: Was this truly “history from below?”
We must not be content with being “included” in someone else’s story.
We must write our own — in our tongues, through our eyes, from our depths.
As Toni Morrison said: “Definitions belong to the definers, not the defined.”
Let us reclaim that power.

Next: We discuss Crypto, Then, Caribbean Thought Summer 2025 Lecture 5 Part 1
Podcast Script[Renaldo – Opening] Today, we're diving into the protests happening right now in Los Angeles — protests that are raising critical questions about civil disobedience, immigration enforcement, and historical legacy. Let me ask you — are the protesters in LA standing on the right side of history? It's not a rhetorical question. It's one we need to wrestle with
[Segment 1: The Conversation Begins]Recently, I sat down with a guest — an African American American, if you will — to get his take on what’s happening in California. His first response?" Nothing." That was it. Nothing. But silence — as I've come to understand — is rarely ever just apathy. Sometimes it’s exhaustion. Sometimes it’s reflection. Sometimes it’s survival. So I asked again: “Do you think the ICE agents are terrorizing people in LA?” His response was telling. “They’re doing what they’re supposed to be doing,” he said. But when I pressed him on whether they should be doing it — whether it's moral or justified — the lines got blurrier.
[Segment 2: ICE, Trump & the Protesters]
[Segment 3: Words Matter]Let’s talk about language. Protesters say they’re being “terrorized.” Officials say it’s “law enforcement.” Who’s right?
[Segment 4: So I ask again: Will history look back on these LA protesters as troublemakers… or as truth-tellers?
[Conclusion: Right Side of History?]

Yesterday, something eerie happened.
When AI Gets Creepy: A Personal Account of Phantom Copying and Digital Disturbance By Renaldo C. McKenzie |
The Neoliberal Post renaldocmckenzie.com.
I was working with my AI assistant, the ever-faithful digital companion I rely on for everything from research to editing, when I noticed something strange—unnerving, even. I hadn’t copied any text, yet my words were being highlighted and duplicated without my instruction. After I typed a request, the screen turned stark white, as if buffering reality. Then, nearly half a minute later, the AI’s results appeared—only to flash and highlight themselves, as though someone else was remotely copying them. It felt like someone—or something—was watching. Not reading—replicating. Not responding—rewriting my own commands in real time. My first thought? Had the AI been hacked? Was this the digital equivalent of a haunted house? The Ghost in the Machine: What I Feared Initially, I assumed it was just a glitch. Maybe a slow internet connection, maybe some lag in rendering the results. But when the text consistently highlighted itself, again and again, without input, I knew this was something different. It was as if an invisible hand hovered over my keyboard, following every keystroke, mimicking every move. Had AI systems recently come under attack? Had someone found a way to infiltrate the very tools we’ve come to trust so intimately with our information? I began to worry: Was someone spying through the AI interface? Could this be a case of prompt injection or malware manipulation? Is the AI platform or browser I use compromised? These are not idle questions in our current digital age, where artificial intelligence is deeply woven into our productivity, creativity, and even our private thoughts. Known Vulnerabilities and Real Risks While no widespread AI cyberattacks were reported at the time of this writing, several vulnerabilities have been noted by security experts—most notably “prompt injection” attacks. These involve sneaky, hidden commands that trick AI into leaking or performing tasks unintended by the user. In tandem with that, clipboard managers, browser extensions, or even compromised input tools can behave strangely—duplicating, highlighting, or echoing actions without your consent. But how are we, everyday users and creators, supposed to tell the difference between a bug and a breach? What You Can Do to Protect Yourself If you’re reading this and have noticed your AI behaving oddly—listen to that instinct. Here are a few simple yet vital steps you can take: Disable suspicious browser extensions – One bad actor can hijack your experience. Scan your device for malware or clipboard hijackers – Tools that track your copy/paste can lead to major breaches. Use trusted and updated platforms only – AI tools in beta or sketchy sites can be vectors for attacks. Report the behavior – Let the platform’s support team know. You might not be the only one. Be cautious with sensitive data – Never enter private passwords, financial information, or client data into an AI platform without absolute trust in its security.
Final Thoughts:
Don’t Dismiss the Glitch What began as a minor annoyance ended as a wake-up call. As we rely more on AI to do everything from writing to decision-making, the potential for digital vulnerabilities grows. This isn’t to breed paranoia—but to encourage preparedness.
Our digital assistants may seem neutral, obedient, almost invisible. But behind the screen is a web of code, vulnerable to bad actors, software errors, and unseen surveillance. Stay alert. Ask questions.
Don’t let the ghost in your machine go unchallenged. Because the future is watching—but so should we.

Larry Krasner was a special guest at a Fraternity meeting of the Philly Nu Sigma of Phi Beta Sigma. We happened to be at the meeting and provided this report for the The Neoliberal News media - The Neoliberal Post, The Neoliberal Journals and The Neoliberal Round.
Larry discuss how his work has saved tax payers billions of dollars with the reduction of mass incarceration's thanks to the sentencing and supervision program. However Krasner stated that Supervision only works temporarily as the experience is that after three years they go back to jail. Krasner reports how he has also reduced that.
Larry announces that this day in May we have fewer homicide today on this 14th day of the year than any other year in Philadelphia.
-
Lots of money into preventing crime and into solving crime, doing it at the same time - creates better results and it costs the country and the city less incarceration is an expensive activity and thanks to the work of the mayor and the security forces.
-
What about Bail Reform? Larry does not support zero base Bail reform. H explains why.
Available in The Neoliberal Post:
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner recently addressed members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. at a dynamic community Q&A, answering the piercing question, “What have we done right?” His answer, armed with raw statistics and biting clarity, laid bare both the progress and persistent paradoxes of Philadelphia’s criminal justice system.
Krasner, a former civil rights attorney turned reformist DA, didn’t mince words. “We’ve cut state custody numbers from 13,000 to 9,000,” he said. “County jail is down to 3,600, when it used to flirt with 10,000.” Juvenile confinement? Down 70%.
What does this mean in human terms?

News: Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner recently addressed members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. answering the piercing question, “What have we done right?” His answer, armed with raw statistics and biting clarity, laid bare both the progress and persistent paradoxes of Philadelphia’s criminal justice system. Krasner, a former civil rights attorney turned reformist DA, didn’t mince words. “We’ve cut state custody numbers from 13,000 to 9,000,” he said. “County jail is down to 3,600, when it used to flirt with 10,000.” Juvenile confinement? Down 70%.What does this mean in human terms? “Over 50,000 years of incarceration have been avoided,” Krasner declared. That’s not hyperbole—it’s the cumulative result of rolling back excessive sentencing and reining in outdated policies that once led the nation in imprisonment. And the savings? “At $60,000 a year per inmate,” he pointed out, “that’s about three billion dollars we didn’t waste on punishment. That’s money that could fund education, addiction treatment, mental health care, and job creation.”Krasner reminded the audience that his office operates on a modest $50 million annual budget. “In seven years, that’s $350 million,” he said, “which means we saved nearly ten times our cost.”But perhaps the most jaw-dropping revelation was about supervision—probation and parole. “We’ve reduced it by two-thirds,” he noted. “We used to have 1 in 9 Black men in Philadelphia under some form of court supervision—twenty-five times more than in New York City.” Why does that matter? “Because after two years, people on supervision are more likely to commit crimes—not less,” he explained. “And locking someone up because they couldn’t pay court fees, or tested positive for THC, while judges sip brown liquor? That’s not justice. That’s absurd.” Yet even as incarceration rates plummet, crime is not rising—a key myth Krasner dismantled.
“As of May 14, 2025, Philadelphia recorded fewer homicides than on any May 14 in the last 50 years. Of the 18 violent crime categories we track, 14 are down.”

“I thought I was going to die and feared for my life”. Former GOP Presidential Candidate, John Castro experienced a chilling twist of fate. He found himself locked in a federal cell with Jeffrey McKellop, a Trump Supporter. McKellop is a January 6 rioter and former Green Beret from Virginia. Castro alleges that the intent behind this placement was far from accidental. According to him, there was a nefarious plan in motion: McKellop was to take him out. But what unfolded was not an assassination—it was an unlikely alliance.
McKellop, captivated by Castro’s story, found empathy where enmity was expected. The two formed a bond, one born in the crucible of confinement. Castro claims that McKellop was once a tool of political vengeance. He was moved by conscience. Donald Trump eventually pardoned him himself.
But Castro’s legal troubles didn’t end behind bars.
He asserts that he was blindsided during his trial—cornered into a conviction through manipulation and legal sleight-of-hand. One of the government’s key witnesses, Linda Rivera, allegedly provided false testimony, manipulated by undisclosed forces. Even more disturbing, Castro claims that federal attorneys were aware of the deception and chose silence over justice.
In a move to reclaim his narrative, Castro filed a motion on Monday May 12, 2025, to strike Rivera’s testimony. This action forms the basis of his appeal as he seeks to overturn what he calls a wrongful conviction.
In response to the unfolding legal drama, we have published a detailed Book and Op-Ed, to tell Castro’s story. There is also a companion article chronicling Castro’s full motion. It is available in The Neoliberal Journals (see link in reference below). It has been sent to be published in The Jamaica Gleaner and The Jacobin Magazine. It highlights his harrowing experiences and the questions it raises about the integrity of the justice system itself.
This is not merely a legal battle—it is a political epic. And history, as it often does, is watching.

OBJECTION YOUR HONOR: was this whole case set up to wash DIDDY'S laundry in Public? So, far we see nothing about sex trafficking and racketeering. Just domestic violence and the freakiness of Diddy.
Today they gonna talk more about "freakoffs" and "OnlyFans" stuff. OMG! What is the relevance? This trial is a sham and only serves to embarrass Diddy to the benefit of Diddy's enemies, competitors and the satisfaction of those who may have had some grind with him.
So far the evidence and the narratives are irrelevant to the case. They should just stop already.
This case is absolutely ridiculous.
Host Renaldo McKenzie and Co-Host Donte Nelson discuss the latest on Diddly's Trial on Sex Trafficking and Racketeering and shared some clips from the discussions on ABC Live.

Mommy was a woman of deep prayer, unwavering faith, and extraordinary grace. She devoted countless hours to praying and interceding earnestly for her family, church, Jamaica, and the world. Her commitment to prayer was steadfast, as she believed in the biblical command to "pray without ceasing."She kept a prayer journal, where she noted her prayers and the answers she received. Her entries were often brief yet profound. Mommy prayed for protection, sweet dreams, and visions; for blessings and unity within her extended family, both in Jamaica and abroad; and for her relatives and in-laws, including Cecil.In 2004, she wrote in her journal about praying for all her children to fully turn to God, and she joyfully recorded, "My grandson Sheldon was baptized and is doing well." That same year, she fervently prayed for Sheryl Small's healing from cancer. In 2011, she noted with gratitude, "She's healed and still doing well."Mommy's life was defined by her devout Christian faith. Her prayers reflected her love for God and her unwavering trust in His promises. She was a beacon of faith, an intercessor for many, and a testament to the power of a life lived in communion with God.In Mommy's final moments, I was blessed to be with her. She had waited for me because she knew how much I regretted missing our dad's passing and how deeply I wanted to be there. On Saturday night, I arrived to find her unable to speak, a mask over her nose as she labored to breathe. She could only utter faint sounds, saying "hee."I began to sing, and Ricky joined me. Together, we sang Arise and Be Healed, pouring our hearts into the melody. Then, I prayed for several minutes. As I prayed, she began to cry and joined me in prayer. Speaking in tongues, I felt the Holy Spirit move, and suddenly, she removed the mask and began to speak in tongues herself. She waved her hands and, with remarkable clarity, said, "Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit."Those were her last words. She then went quiet, as though ready to give up the ghost. That night, I returned to her home—our family’s childhood home—and slept in her bedroom. Around 4 a.m., she visited me in a dream. She came to say goodbye and to encourage me to be strong and of good health. When I woke, I knew she was gone.Mommy never gave up. Even at the very end, her faith remained unshaken. Her love for God and those she left behind shone brightly in her final moments. Her life was a testament to the power of faith and the enduring presence of God’s spirit.B. The Power of Prayer and Self-ReflectionIt is my mother’s life of prayer, faith, and self-reflection that has profoundly shaped my understanding of the transformative power of prayer and introspection.When we pray, let us pray without sitting; when we dream, let us dream without sleeping. Believe and have faith, but stay away from naysayers. Prayer sharpens our focus, helping us acknowledge our limitations while embracing God’s favor and the limitless possibilities He offers. It connects us with the divine—beyond and within—and aligns us with the cosmos and the cognitive.The Bible reminds us, “Men ought always to pray and never faint.” My mother embodied this verse in her daily life, just as Daniel did when he prayed and overcame the lions’ den. What is your den? Prayer has the power to change things.When we pray, let’s be ready to act, to change, and to receive. Let’s open our hearts and minds to His endless possibilities. Prayer not only transforms our circumstances but also shapes us into vessels ready to receive His blessings.My mother’s life is a testament to this truth. Her prayers, faith, and self-reflection have not only shaped her journey but also continue to inspire mine.By Rev.

Ah, what a wondrous tapestry of tongue and time Rev. Renaldo C McKenzie has woven—Pope Leo XIV, a man of many lands and languages, stepping to the altar not just as pontiff, but as pilgrim.
The First Homily of Pope Leo XIV: A Pilgrim’s Benediction
In the beginning, he spoke in English—clear, measured, familiar. Then, like a river bending toward its roots, he flowed into Spanish, the tongue of warmth and memory. Finally, he ascended into Latin, the timeless language of the Church, a signal not only of office, but of transformation.This triad of tongues was no accident. It was testimony.He shared not a speech, but a story. A journey. From the bustling corridors of America to the sacred hills of Peru, and now, to the eternal seat of Rome. Life, he said, is a journey—a series of sacred passages toward the ultimate. We must not curse the winding roads, for they are the hands that shape us.He reminded us: America, too, is on a journey. It is in a moment—yes, a painful, purifying moment—but it is not the end. As long as we walk in faith, with hearts devout and spirits unbowed, this path will lead us not to despair, but to deeper becoming.And so, the pope bids us not to abandon life, but to trust it.In closing, he left us with layered words—a coded blessing, perhaps. A call to see beneath the syllables. He casts no stone behind him; his past is not discarded, but embraced. For the man who stands before us is not divided, but united. Not American. Not Peruvian. Not simply one nation or name.He is transformed.He was of a country. Now, he is of all. He was a citizen. Now, he is a shepherd. He was. And now, he is—Pope Leo XIV.Written By Rev. Renaldo C.

The Penn Relays have officially begun at the University of Pennsylvania—my alma mater—and once again, the historic Franklin Field is alive with the spirit of one of the oldest and most prestigious track and field events in the Americas. Hosted annually by Penn Athletics, the Relays are more than just a sporting event—they are a cultural moment, especially for the Caribbean diaspora.
You simply cannot mention the Penn Relays without mentioning Jamaica in the same breath. Jamaicans have long been dominant and enthusiastic participants, from high school standouts to collegiate champions. The relays serve as a proving ground for emerging talent and a showcase of track royalty.
I remember one year when I had the privilege to volunteer at the games. It was a moment I’ll never forget—I met the likes of Bill Cosby, the Hon. Portia Simpson Miller (Jamaica’s first woman Prime Minister), and track legends such as Asafa Powell, Usain Bolt, and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. The electric atmosphere, the sound of cheering crowds, and the buzz around potential stars from across the U.S. and Caribbean left an indelible mark on me.
Yet, something feels different this year. While the 2025 Penn Relays have kicked off with their usual modest energy, there’s a noticeable lack of media coverage and buzz. Surprisingly, many locals in Philadelphia I spoke to either weren’t aware the Penn Relays were happening or didn’t know what the event was at all. This is a stark contrast to years past, when the city would buzz with anticipation and pride.
Still, the Caribbean diaspora and college track athletes from around the country are already making their way to the city, bringing with them a growing excitement that’s starting to creep in. Although mainstream media has yet to fully engage, the passion of the people remains. A quick keyword search or hashtag scroll for “Penn Relays 2025” yields only a handful of results—disappointing for such a historic event.
We remain hopeful that as the week unfolds, coverage will swell and the attention this event deserves will return. In these turbulent and uncertain times, we need events like the Penn Relays. They offer catharsis and community—a moment to celebrate excellence, heritage, and unity.
Between the NBA playoffs and the Penn Relays, there’s a lot to look forward to this week. Stay tuned—The Neoliberal Round and our YouTube channel may bring you interviews, event highlights, and the heartbeat of the city and its athletes as the games progress.
Until then,
Renaldo C. McKenzie

Jesus Said; "Father forgive them for they know not what they have done," (KJV, St. Luke 23:34). This Easter, we present a re-make of several videos we mashed together to present our Easter production. It is quite powerful and inspirational as we re-did a reflection by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie and included performances with him at Easter to present a dynamic show that will help to facilitate worship and reflection. May we remember the #sacrificeandlove #Christ demonstrated that has defined the #characterofGod; humility, sacrifice and compassion for all—especially for the poor and vulnerable that #God became low to lift them up. Is that what true leadership is?As we reflect on Easter, I mashed together various short videos to provide this dynamic Easter podcast production. As we serve the world today to solve tomorrow's challenges, making popular what was the monopoly, it is important that we provide programming that is part of the solution. As such we understand that conditioning the human conscience with content that considers inspirational matters by celebrating our faith experience may help to rescues humanity and the wonton secularism that pervades. Not that we are against liberalism and secularism, but we believe that the marriage is important to keep us from destroying ourselves. The message of the cross is powerful and may help to heal a broken society devolving into decadence and social decay. May we remember the story of Jesus and his crucifixion.I provide several performances beginning with a group performance at Old First Reformed Church in Philadelphia, "The Reason We Sing."Then the Reflections by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie on Forgiveness reading from St. Luke 23:24 of the Christian Bible.We then wrap up with three performances:Donte and Renaldo using HER music,Renaldo and Ricardo on NYC train, How Great is Our God andRenaldo and Nate sing, Falling in Love with Jesus.Subscribe for free on any streaming service and donate to us at https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal.Visit us at renaldocmckenzie.com or theneoliberal.comThe Neoliberal Round by Renaldo McKenzie, from The Neoliberal Corporation, Serving the world today to solve tomorrow's challenges, by making popular wat was the monopoly.Email us: info@theneoliberal.com, submissions@theneoliberal.com, renaldocmckenzie @gmail.com Call Us: 1-445-260-9198Donate to us: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=USSJLFU2HRVAQ
Season 10 Ep. 48: On A Quick Note: I cannot believe that the 150-year old University of the Arts in Philadelphia is closed. Here am I referring a young mentee to the college and when I checked, it’s closed.
Such a staple university focusing on the arts closed abruptly in June 2024 and filed bankruptcy in September 2024. The university closed because its leaders lacked the vision and the passion that would create innovative strategies to sustain the school.
First of all no one knows about the school, that’s why they suffered from low enrollment, and they were not profitable because they lack the Innovation to create new programs by working with the local niche communities and businesses in Northern liberties Philadelphia that were becoming the fashion and arts capital of the Eastcoast; with young professional New Yorkers moving to Old City and Northern Liberties.
Now The Eagles are are dominant team and the Sixers are contemplating building a huge new stadium in Center city. The university could’ve taken advantage of these opportunities. Their prowess in the arts would have been ideal in helping to:
-
develop the area utilizing the school’s artists and professors and
-
developing programs with the city and the stadium developers that serve to develop artists and designers who’d contribute to the stadium and the transformation of the city into the 21st century.
Re-open the school @PhiladelphiaGov
And return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US. We can't pay El Salvador 6 million dollars to hold him for us then say due to international policies we cannot interfere in El Salvador and if they want to release they should. We are paying them for God sake!

Holy Week Reflection by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie:
1/
Isn’t it ironic, duplicitous and Pharisaical that our President Mr. Donald Trump expects compliance with executive orders… yet POTUS struggles to comply with court rulings and our Constitution?
2/
We can arrange prisoner swaps like Kseniya Karelina from Russia…
But we can’t bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador?
3/
Trump is not a Jew, but he moves like the Pharisees did in the #NewTestament.
Jesus said:
“Woe to you, scribes & Pharisees, hypocrites!”
4/
He condemned their hypocrisy, legalism, and failure to uphold justice, mercy & faithfulness.
And that’s exactly what we’re witnessing in this “Neoliberal age”.
5/
These thoughts are the foundation of my upcoming book w/ Martin Oppenheimer:

Show: The Neoliberal Round
Episode Title: Crime or Crisis? The Attack on Gov. Shapiro and What It Really Means
Host: Renaldo McKenzie
Episode Length: ~11 - 12 minutes
"You're listening to The Neoliberal Round. I'm your host, Renaldo McKenzie, and today I want to share a quick but important thought about the recent attack on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and his family at the Governor’s Mansion.
This was shocking, disturbing, and yes—deeply serious. But it also reveals much more than just a security breach or an isolated act of violence. It forces us to ask: Are we looking at a crime… or a crisis? And are we responding in a way that will prevent the next one?"
"The first thing we need to understand is this:
What happened at the Governor’s Mansion is not necessarily a sign that crime is out of control. It’s a sign that mental health and opioid-related crises are being ignored, misdiagnosed, or underfunded.
This wasn't just a 'madman.' This could have been someone in deep psychological distress—someone who, if properly supported, may never have ended up in that situation."
"After incidents like this, we often see calls to crack down—more arrests, more surveillance, more punishment.
But punishment is not prevention.
We can’t keep treating mental illness and addiction with police and prison. We need:
- More accessible community mental health services
- Robust substance use treatment
- Mobile crisis teams trained in de-escalation
- Policies that deal with why this happened—not just what happened."
"I also want to draw a parallel that might make some people uncomfortable: the January 6th Capitol attack.
That was not just political extremism. That was psychological manipulation. That was mental instability, radicalized by fear, lies, and toxic leadership.
And we have to start asking ourselves: Are the people leading these movements mentally fit themselves? What happens when unstable leaders weaponize unstable followers?
Again, you can’t jail your way out of that. You need public health solutions."
"Let me be clear—I’m not saying people shouldn’t be held accountable. But throwing someone with untreated schizophrenia or severe trauma into jail is not justice—it’s just delay.
And when that person spirals again, guess what? We’re all still at risk.
That’s why we must invest in mental health infrastructure the same way we invest in roads, policing, or national defense."
"Now, let’s talk about something else this incident raises: How did this individual get close enough to a sitting Governor and his family to cause serious damage?
That’s not just a lapse—that’s a massive security failure.
We need to rethink how we protect elected officials, not just in public spaces but in their homes.
Mental health crises don’t pause at the gates of power. Our security systems need to account for that."
"My point today is this: If we want to be safe, we have to get real about what safety means.
It’s not just cops and fences.
It’s compassion.
It’s care.
It’s crisis prevention.
We need to stop punishing pain and start treating it. Because when we ignore mental illness and addiction, society pays the price—every time."
"That’s it for this episode of The Neoliberal Round.
I’m Renaldo McKenzie—thanks for tuning in.
Remember: the way we respond to crisis determines whether it happens again. Let’s choose prevention over punishment, and policy over panic.
Until next time, keep questioning, keep thinking, and keep it neoliberal—but compassionate."

In this final lecture for Caribbean Thought (Semester 2, 2025), Professor Renaldo McKenzie, Author of #Neoliberalism, opens with a critical reflection on the phrase "Out of Many, One People"—questioning its continued privileging of European identity over African heritage. Group 6 presents on Jamaica and Barbados, offering insights into national identity and postcolonial struggles. The lecture continues with a review of key terms such as colonialism, postcolonialism, the Global South, and Afrocentricity, and closes with a provocative question: Should theology transcend culture?A powerful wrap-up to a transformative semester.Thank you for your support and for journeying with us this semester.Email us at info@theneoliberal.com or renaldo.mckenzie@jts.edu.jm or renaldocmckenzie@gmail.com.

Renaldo McKenzie (Host):Welcome back to The Neoliberal Round, where we unpack bold ideas, uncomfortable truths, and complex questions at the intersection of policy, politics, and people. Today’s topic? Ending homelessness. That’s right—ending it. Not reducing. Not managing. Ending.
It’s a lofty goal in a neoliberal capitalist world where greed, inequality, and competition often leave the most vulnerable behind. But one city commissioner and hotelier is proposing an unconventional solution—and whether you agree or not, it’s an idea that’s making waves. Joining us today is Claudio Bono, Commissioner for the City of Cupertino, hotel entrepreneur, nonprofit veteran, and founder of GiveARoof.org. He’s tweeted his support for Trump’s cuts to homelessness programs—yes, that Trump—which immediately drew fire from progressives. But Claudio says those cuts didn’t inspire cruelty in him—they inspired creativity. So… could his airline points-based housing model be the spark we need—or is this just another swing in the dark? Let’s find out.
🎤 INTERVIEW BEGINS: Renaldo McKenzie: Claudio, welcome to The Neoliberal Round. Let's start with the basics—Who is Claudio Bono, and what's your plan to end homelessness?
Renaldo McKenzie: Now Claudio, let’s address the elephant in the room: the Trump tweet. Nikki wrote: “Dude, when they cut homelessness spending, it's cause this admin don't give a flying f**k about the homeless.”
Joe added: “You can applaud Trump all you want about the cuts, but he’s not doing it to solve a problem—he’s just being mean.”What’s your response? What made you see opportunity where others saw cruelty?
Renaldo McKenzie: Let’s dive into the proposal. One person asked: “You want to fix homelessness by using people’s airline loyalty points?” That sounds… unconventional. Can you explain how that would even work?
Renaldo McKenzie: Brian added to the discussion, saying: “I appreciate your innovative thinking. However, it appears to be the same path with just different funding sources. Not to mention, turning travel points into negative cash flow for companies.”You responded: “Not true. You didn’t hear the whole plan.” So tell us—what is the whole plan?
Renaldo McKenzie: Let’s talk transparency. Kandid wrote: “The model is already in place under Habitat for Humanity. I’m highly suspicious of GiveARoof.org. Please give me a breakdown of CEO pay and admin costs.” And you answered: “CEO: Me. Pay: Zero. Plus 11 years volunteer in nonprofits.” But how does your structure avoid the same pitfalls as other nonprofit housing efforts? What’s the real difference?Renaldo McKenzie: Michael jumped in with a summary of your claims: “Your program includes giving medical, D/A programs, providing shelter and housing, meals, jobs—you said yes… explain some more.” Is this similar to something like Philly’s recovery houses for the homeless affected by addiction and mental health?
Renaldo McKenzie: One last question from our listeners: What about Pay-It-Forward? Is there a way to build in a system where people who benefit from Give A Roof can give back—through miles, mentoring, or volunteerism?
🎙️ OUTRO: Renaldo McKenzie: That’s it for today’s episode. You’ve heard the vision, the backlash, the facts—and the fire. Is Claudio Bono a disruptor with a real shot at transforming how we fund solutions to homelessness? Or is this just another utopian blueprint lost in corporate red tape Whatever your verdict, one thing’s for sure—we need more bold ideas and fewer tired excuses. Claudio, thank you for joining us. Where can people learn more or support GiveARoof.org? And to all our listeners: If you enjoyed the show, leave a review, subscribe, and share. Until next time, stay aware, stay active, and stay Neoliberal—but reimagined.

Caribbean Thought Lecture Series: Should Theology Transcend Culture? By Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie, Author of Neoliberalism
Dear Mr. President,
Re: Tariffs on China? A Tax on the Poor
Applying a 125% tariff on China in response to their retaliatory trade actions, the true casualties will not be foreign economies—but America’s poor.
Tariffs are taxes. When levied on the low-cost goods that supply Family Dollar, Dollar Tree, and corner shops across the country, these taxes become a burden carried disproportionately by low-income Americans. These retail outlets serve a vital role in our domestic landscape, offering basic goods to communities that big-box retailers like Acme overlook.
Acme is not coming to the hood. And these low-wage communities—often ignored in economic planning—are not disappearing. Tariff increases mean the small shops that serve them will face higher wholesale prices and inevitably pass those costs on to customers already stretched thin.
This is not just a trade issue—it’s a domestic economic justice issue.
If we are serious about insulating our most vulnerable from economic shocks, we must diversify our own production. America needs industries that specialize in affordable goods, serving what I call “economies within the economy.” Without that, tariff policies will continue to harm those least able to weather them.
If Trump places a 125% tariff on China in response to their retaliatory tariff, then it means poor people in the U.S. are being taxed. And what of economies of scale? Sure, the goods are cheap, but not everyone can buy at Acme. Some go to Family Dollar, Dollar Tree, and the corner shop. These stores can afford to charge low prices because they access cheap goods that serve low-wage communities.
Low-wage communities aren’t changing anytime soon, so how will they survive this tax if their main suppliers are taxed? Acme’s not coming to the hoods—they don’t thrive there.
Unless we have cheaply made goods in the U.S. that serve a particular economy, these communities will be left out. But that means the U.S. must diversify and include specializations that provide affordable goods tailored to certain “economies.”

How can the United States justify imposing tariffs on countries like Jamaica Haiti, and others in the Caribbean—nations whose markets have been devastated by the very multinationals and transnationals that the U.S. has supported for decades? American Corporations have long penetrated these emerging markets, flooding them with cheaper goods and services, eroding local industries, and reducing Caribbean nations to dependent capitalist markets. The International Monetary Fund (#IMF), often under U.S. influence, has further entrenched these dependencies by enforcing structural adjustment policies that gutted public investment and local enterprise. Meanwhile, the region sends hundreds of millions—if not billions—of dollars in royalties, profits, and remittances back to the U.S., continuing a cycle of extraction and economic subordination. So why would President Donald Trump—who claims to support fair trade—impose tariffs on these vulnerable economies? The answer lies in the profoundly unequal mechanisms of globalization, where the rules benefit the powerful and marginalize the developing world. It’s a game stacked against countries trying to build self-reliance and resilience.One of my friends use to work for comcast comcast business as a customer services rep (now called “Call Center Rep) getting $17 – $21 per hour in #Philly COMCAST laid him off and outsourced the job to The Philippines and Caribbean where Comcast pays Call Center Reps $1 – $3.50 per day. Yet we charge them reciprocal tariffs up to 10% plus a direct tariff on others. They want to have their cake and eat it too.
DON'T BE GREEDY. GREED LEADS TO GLUT AND THEN DEATH.

Coming soon. Https://store.theneoliberal.comGuyana found oil but never had the capability and capacity to extract and enrich the oil. So they got US oil companies to help them. That help has cost them 78 % because Guyana only gets back 12% of the profit after they pay the US companies. That’s a fact. Read it in my upcoming Book, Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered: Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations https://store.theneoliberal.com To explore these ideas further, I invite you to read my book Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance, which provides a historical and critical analysis of these global dynamics.

Why Is the US Charging Tariffs on the Caribbean? A Question of Globalization and Unfair Trade
By Renaldo McKenzie, Author of “Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance.”
Question: Who are the founders of the Haitian Revolution?
A. Toussaint and Dutty Boukman,
B. Dessalinethe s and Dutty Boukman.
On this Presentation dubbed "Everything Caribbean," Students from Group 1 present on Haiti and the Dominican Republic. We learn who the true hero of the revolution is in Haiti when they gained their independence from a revolt. We had thought it was Toussaint. But we learned it was Dessalines who could not read or write French and was not quickly educated in the European ways, but still helped to lead Haiti to their freedom. However, the French would tell us it was Toussaint fitting into their narrative that the founder who defeated the French could not have been someone who was not educated in the French ways. It must have been someone who was European, and they agreed that Toussaint, who was a French soldier, would be the founder. But in Haiti, Dessalines is the founder. In Europe and the rest of the world, it is Toussaint. The students critically correct our thinking and provide a history that is from below.

Hear why The Philadelphia Inquirer shut down its Communities & Engagement Desk, laying off its reporters who are Black and people of color. Inquirer Editor Gabriel Escobar talked about the newspaper’s decision and answered questions at the National Association of Black Journalist membership meeting, April 2. Escobar spoke after the NABJ 6:30pm business meeting, where we learned that the cuts had nothing to do with the nationwide cuts surrounding DEI hires. Escobar pointed to the fact that the paper made the cuts based on changes in the industry, where newspaper and news agency are downsizing. Nevertheless, Escobar did not explain the irony of these cuts with the nationwide cuts and attack on DEI and did not offer any actionable plan to ensure that current staff continue to promote local stories and peoples who are underserved in the community it serves and resides.

Donald Trump recently announced on NBC in an interview that he was not joking about his plans to run for president for a third term. Dems and constitutional scholars such as J. Robert's from Columbia University said that it is unconstitutional for the president to seek a third term yet Robert's stated that there may be ways for the President to still override the ammendment preventing him from seeking a third term. If Trump can run a third term, Obama may as well. This would be a huge matchup in political history between Obama and Trump. I've always wanted to see them face-off. Renaldo McKenzie, host and creator of The Neoliberal Round Podcast and YouTube Channel shares his thoughts on A Quick Note. Visit us https://theneoliberal.comhttps://renaldocmckenzie.com
In Today's Lecture Rev. Renaldo switched gears to consider the concepts raised in Neoliberalism on Neoliberal Globalization, Structural Adjustment, Debt, The IMF and using cinema such as Life and Debt to discern the consequences of the investments in the Caribbean since independence.
The Lecture is offered at Jamaica Theological Seminary by Prof. Renaldo McKenzie via the Zoom platform. Renaldo is the author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance and we will use his book today to explore the consequences of Globalization in the Caribbean.

This is an edited excerpt of Renaldo McKenzie's interview about Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance on G-Town Radio's "Neglected Stories, People, History, Movements," hosted by Pedro Rodriguez.
Pedro spoke with Renaldo about Neoliberalism and the current neoliberal globalist strategies that are re-taking root and explore resistance to neoliberal globalization.
Renaldo was passionate on this interview with Pedro and so we had to provide a version of it on The Neoliberal Podcast, albeit an edited excerpt. When we get the full interview we will make it available for our audience on The Neoliberal Round.

Dear Mr. President Donald Trump,I know you are fond of #elonmusk, but so too was #biden—and yet, Musk betrayed him. If he could turn on Biden, what makes you think he won’t do the same to you?Musk’s fortune swelled under Biden’s administration, not merely from innovation but from the artificial winds of government intervention. Biden’s tax credits for electric vehicles funneled demand straight into Tesla’s pockets, distorting the free market and cementing Musk’s place as the world’s richest #automaker—and, for a time, the wealthiest man alive. This was not capitalism in its purest form, but an unfair advantage masquerading as policy. It was Biden who had already poured $350 billion into Musk’s ambitions through #spacex, only to double down by tipping the scales in Tesla’s favor. These subsidies dictated consumer behavior, steering Americans toward Tesla not by choice, but by incentive.But here we are, in a new chapter, where you, Mr. President, seem to have taken a different path. By removing tariffs on electric vehicles and eliminating Biden’s preferential tax credits, you have leveled the playing field. No longer will Americans be herded toward Teslas for the sake of a subsidy. Instead, all American-made cars will compete on even ground, as they should. This is a move that underscores your commitment to free enterprise rather than corporate favoritism.Unlike Biden, who unknowingly armed his own adversary, you appear unmoved by the lure of Musk’s influence. You are not bending to the whims of a single mogul, nor are you allowing the state to play kingmaker in the auto industry. This is a correction, a realignment with the principles of capitalism—a system that should never be shackled by government interference in the service of one man’s empire.As for Musk, his betrayals may yet return to him—not by the hand of Biden’s retaliation, but by the justice of consequence—the karma of life. Life, after all, has its own way of settling accounts.

Is Separation of Powers a Facade? Or are we going back to the past where Kings, Queens and Noble men are above the laws and constitution of this country - America. Is this England, France, Russia or Chibna? No it is Not! It is a country built on Democratic values; but today those elected to continues, preserve and direct our affairs are changing the nation for their own good and in their name, not in the name of the populist and for America. To be great does not mean to dismantle democratic institutions that have been set up to preserve and protect against despots, kings and supremacist. We really did vote to go back, did we? But back to what?
In this quick episode, Rev. Renaldo McKenzie shares a blog with Donte a Contributor and Co-Producer of the Show.
Renaldo writes that:
What is going on in America? Speaker Mike Johnson is threatening to withhold funding from District Courts for making a ruling that challenges the President. If the President disagrees with a lower court judge, he must appeal. We have a system in place that should work, unless when it works against the powerful they can withhold money. That means we have no separation of powers in actuality, if politicians can decide to withhold funding from the Judiciary.There's no way an attorney would make such irresponsible statements threatening the institution that has been constitutionally entrenched and has given him his authority. Speaker Johnson must have been threatened by Trump whose support he needs in order to keep his job as Speaker. So then there's no separation there either if the speaker and the house are "elected" by The President.
Nevertheless, Johnson's statements are unconstitutional, threatens the legal institution that has given him his law license and therefore he should be disbarred. Johnson has no respect for the separation of powers and the authority of the justices and the people's court.

SHONTAL: Sir, do you agree that the average American is not able to take vacations like the average Jamaican and Caribbean residents can?
PROF. RENALDOMCKENZIE: No, but it also depends on who you are comparing because black and Brown people are just as dependent and economically behind everywhere. So there is no positive to be gained from the poorest being better than other poor people. Moreover, the average person in the US is not looking to break the law to travel to the #caribbean. In fact, there are very few restrictions to travel from the US to the Caribbean. Moreover, the US is a post-industrial developed country where US1$ is #jamaica $150. In the US, the poorest have access to social welfare, tax returns and credits, and other benefits. Jamaica and Caribbean governments struggle to provide benefits to their most vulnerable peoples and can barely afford to provide social welfare. The question is an inappropriate question, as one cannot compare the two in terms of wealth as the US has more wealth than Jamaica but the wealth is concentrated around those who are white or of a certain class.
The episode went beyond the Caribbean Thought Lecture's class topic, looking at the film "Life and Debt" by Stephanie Black, which is why this Episode series of Caribbean Thought is called Caribbean Thought Extended.
We also switched gears and discussed some breaking news from around the #caribbean:
-
Turks and Caicos - Immigration restrictions on immigrants as the Turks are being outnumbered by immigrants. #turksandcaicos
-
Trinidad and Tobago - The Government announced a State of Emergency, and the Chief of Police was arrested for his association with a known gang leader responsible for bringing in illegal guns. Trinidad and Tobago
-
Haiti - The whole country is still in a state of crisis as gangs control half of the capital. #haiti
We discuss these lead by: Edras from Haiti living in Trinidad Ombertta - from Jamaica living in Turks and Caicos
Shontal - From Jamaica and is in Jamaica.
The discussions are facilitated and hosted by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie, Professor/Lecturer in Caribbean Thought and Author of #neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance, Creator and Host of The Neoliberal Round Podcast and YouTube Channel.

Togo was part of Ghana until the colonization and occupation by Germany, France and the British which divided a people and a place for their (Europeans') benefits and interests. This episode which is in preparation or the Lecture on Caribbean Thought Semester 2, 2024 at the Jamaica Theological Seminary, explores the West African Country, Togo which provides an interesting case as to how post-independent countries were forced into accepting a ceremonial freedom and independence. The independence negotiated could and affects the future of these small newly independent states and peoples. From Jamaica to Hit, Africa and the peoples within, black, brown or formerly colonized peoples. The Togo situation resembles all states that were fighting for independence but was still under the control of their former masters. The Podcast and production continues the Lectures in Caribbean and Pan Africanism exploring Neoliberal Globalization and the concept of The Black and Brown Position in the World, which is explored in my upcoming second book, Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered and will form part of the Lectures next semester, January 2024. We conducted an interview with a Togolese American and included an adapted and remastered documentary film by @AFRISTORYNETWORK Togo, with voice overs and narrations for the English Speaking Caribbean, American and European Markets.This episode will be included in the Lectures in #CaribbeanThought at the Jamaica Theological Seminary (( @jtsintersection ) the Professor Rev.

In today's Lecture, Rev. Renaldo Mckenzie continues exploring currents that have shaped the position of the Caribbean today stemming from Colonization, but switch gears to Postcolonialism, and the lingering effects of Colonialism. The Lecture delves into the concept of postcolonialism and discusses how Caribbean people's disdain for African Traditions such as Obeah reflects the lingering effects of colonialism. The class spent several minutes debating whether #obeah is evil as many students challenged the professor's position on African traditions and the need to have open discussions without European ethnocentrism. The class was deeply intense and the students and Professor spoke passionate about current attitudes towards African Spirituality.This Lecture and the Lecture series is offered Jamaica Theological Seminary in the Humanities Department and the Lecture is delivered by Rev.

This is interesting/ironic: 20 years and no #Pardon for people who attack Musk Teslas, but pardons or no time for those who attacked the capital on January 6th or politicians family members who commit real crimes. Host Renaldo with Co-host Donte discuss the latest Trump action to hold accountable those who vandalize Musk's; I wonder if other businesses get this kind of protection from the president. From parading Musk cars in front of the white house to punishing protestors attacking Teslas. Is this a market economy with democratic ideals? is this the new America? We discuss this plus much more and what's to come on this episode on the neoliberal round podcast season 10 episode 25
Renaldo discusses his upcoming interview on Germantown Radio 92.9, which will also be available in video on The Neoliberal Round Podcast and YouTube Channel later this week. In this short, Renaldo discusses that oligarchy is not new but has been around throughout history where the wealthy class controls the government; it is only being done publicly today with Trump and Elon Billionaires, who now control the government and the direction of the US.
Renaldo highlights this concept in his new and upcoming book, Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Unfair Competition, and the Death of Nations, which will be released in May 2025. Renaldo will be a guest on Germantown Radio.

Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie continues the 2025 #caribbeanthought Lectures at Jamaica Theological Seminary @jtsintersection via the @georgetownuniversity Platform, beginning this week with #colonization as a Strategy to control. Rev. Renaldo discusses #postcolonialism as a new strategy marking the end of another kind of control strategy. The #caribbean today is faced with the threat of retaliation and instability within their region after years of stability within their geopolitical region. The discussions were electrifying and explosive as the lecture culminated in whether Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago should continue to do business with #china.Rev. #renaldomckenzie builds on the lectures from previous weeks, asking whether there is a Caribbean Philosophy, Caribbean Theology, Caribbean Epistemology that is not bastardized by European colonization and their field slaves or elites or local politicians today.The Lecture promises to be profoundly esoteric and challenge our presuppositions and assumptions.The Lectures are taught face-to-face over Zoom by Jamaica Theological Seminary, Humanities Department.Rev.

It's elementary, Transwomen that are Trans Athletes should not compete in Women's sports. Renaldo McKenzie, joined by Donte T. Nelson discuss the recent move by #donaldtrump to ban transwomen from competing in women's sports and to pass actions preventing schools and government institutions from recognizing trans athlete and transgender people.
Renaldo shares his article blog published in The Neoliberal Journals:
The Neoliberal CorporationMar 07
It’s elementary, women who were once men, should not play in Women Sports. Such women still possess or have access to their masculinity that gives them an advantage over other women born as women. Therefore, it is unfair for transwomen to compete in women’s sport until the technology is available to drain them of their masculine prowess and that can perform checks when they fail to take their hormone meds when they are competing in events to get temporary advantage.
If anything transgender women should create their own sporting category to evade any issue from performing in women’s sport and to satisfy their need to compete in sports. If the transgender women promote diversity, equity and inclusion, they should see how their participation in women’s sport is hypocritical to that cause.
Moreover, the attack on Gavin Newsom is misplaced and unfortunate, because he sides with what seems fair which goes against your wants not your needs and principles. If anything Newsome’s position coincides with diversity, equity and inclusion, because DEI is about and facilitates fairness and transgender women in women’s sport is unfair and goes against DEI and the ideals of the LGBTQIA community.
The solution is simple, create an opportunity for transgender women to play in sports where they have their own category or sporting events and they compete against each other. Now what’s wrong with that. Why not come up with something we all can agree on instead of forcing the issue?
(https://theneoliberal.com/its-elementary-transgender-women-should-not-play-in-womens-sport/
The show begins with a news excerpt of the recent actions by the Trump administration to stymie LGBTQIA super trans women in sports and Trump commenting on his actions.\
Renaldo and Donte then discuss the topic with background music and interludes.

Former President of Poland Lech Walesa wrote the following letter to Trump.
Your Excellency, Mr. President,
We watched the report of your conversation with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, with fear and distaste. We find it insulting that you expect Ukraine to show respect and gratitude for the material assistance provided by the United States in its fight against russia. Gratitude is owed to the heroic Ukrainian soldiers who shed their blood in defense of the values of the free world. They have been dying on the front lines for more than 11 years in the name of these values and the independence of their homeland, which was attacked by Putin’s russia.
We do not understand how the leader of a country that symbolizes the free world cannot recognize this.
Our alarm was also heightened by the atmosphere in the Oval Office during this conversation, which reminded us of the interrogations we endured at the hands of the Security Services and the debates in Communist courts. Prosecutors and judges, acting on behalf of the all-powerful communist political police, would explain to us that they held all the power while we held none. They demanded that we cease our activities, arguing that thousands of innocent people suffered because of us. They stripped us of our freedoms and civil rights because we refused to cooperate with the government or express gratitude for our oppression. We are shocked that President Volodymyr Zelensky was treated in the same manner.
The history of the 20th century shows that whenever the United States sought to distance itself from democratic values and its European allies, it ultimately became a threat to itself. President Woodrow Wilson understood this when he decided in 1917 that the United States must join World War I. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt understood this when, after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, he resolved that the war to defend America must be fought not only in the Pacific but also in Europe, in alliance with the nations under attack by the Third Reich.
We remember that without President Ronald Reagan and America’s financial commitment, the collapse of the Soviet empire would not have been possible. President Reagan recognized that millions of enslaved people suffered in Soviet russia and the countries it had subjugated, including thousands of political prisoners who paid for their defense of democratic values with their freedom. His greatness lay, among other things, in his unwavering decision to call the USSR an “Empire of Evil” and to fight it decisively. We won, and today, the statue of President Ronald Reagan stands in Warsaw, facing the U.S. Embassy.
Mr. President, material aid—military and financial—can never be equated with the blood shed in the name of Ukraine’s independence and the freedom of Europe and the entire free world. Human life is priceless; its value cannot be measured in money. Gratitude is due to those who sacrifice their blood and their freedom. This is self-evident to us, the people of Solidarity, former political prisoners of the communist regime under Soviet russia.
We call on the United States to uphold the guarantees made alongside Great Britain in the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, which established a direct obligation to defend Ukraine’s territorial integrity in exchange for its relinquishment of nuclear weapons. These guarantees are unconditional—there is no mention of treating such assistance as an economic transaction.
Signed,
Lech Wałęsa, former political prisoner, President of Poland

Rev. Renaldo McKenzie continues with the Caribbean Thought Lectures at The Jamaica Theological Seminary, concluding the discussions on The Afrocentric Paradigm and Centering Caribbean Studies and Caribbean Thought within a paradigm that begins with a position of victory rather than a position of victory.
The Caribbean Reader asserts that the Caribbean is an invention.... But this is defeatist and based on a position of oppression than victory. Yet one may say this binary troupe is based on a philosophy of idealism than realism.
Nevertheless, Renaldo explore the importance of a Caribbean history that must demystify history through critical reflections. The Lecture today culminates the conversations on Afrocentric, Eurocentric and conceptualizing Caribbean Thought.
The course is accredited by The University Council of Jamaica and is delivered within the Department of Humanities. The Lecture is delivered by Rev. Renaldo Mckenzie, Author of "Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance," President of The Neoliberal Corporation, Creator and Host of The Neoliberal Round Podcast, Graduated from University of Penn holding a MA and a MPHIL and currently at Georgetown University in the Doctor of Liberal Studies Program.

Departments of Government Secretaries are supposed to manage their staff, ensure accountability, and know what’s happening in their agencies. If we need another department—DOGE—to do this for them, then why have Secretaries at all? It’s an unnecessary layer of bureaucracy and a waste of resources.
Then there’s Elon Musk, suggesting that federal workers send daily emails just to prove they’re alive. That logic is flawed. If dead people are somehow getting paid, they can just as easily send back emails. This entire exercise makes no sense.
Each department, with its newly confirmed leadership under a new president, should run the government—without an extra, redundant oversight body. A shadow cabinet only adds to the waste, forcing taxpayers to fund DOGE, Elon, and the Secretaries all at once. It’s inefficient and unnecessary.

Is the Department of Government Efficiency a strategy to reinvent white supremacy and deny the American dream to black men and women?
On this episode of the The Neoliberal Round Podcast Renaldo McKenzie, Author of Neoliberalism, Creator and Host of The Neoliberal Round shares his short blog responding to this question.
Elon Musk finds it noteworthy that nearly 160,000 federal civil service workers are now millionaires. This is reported by Amuse. Shouldn’t we be celebrating that under President Joe Biden, many federal workers—who are American citizens—have achieved the American Dream? Why is this a problem for Musk, Donald Trump, and their supporters? Is the goal to strip these individuals of their wealth simply because they worked for the government? It’s worth noting that Musk himself has grown even richer under Biden’s administration.
The real issue seems to be that Black people have also attained wealth. For decades, federal employment has been one of the few reliable paths to economic stability and success for Black Americans. Now, there appears to be a deliberate effort to dismantle this pathway. The recent push to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives under the guise of “efficiency” seems less about improving government operations. It seems more about rolling back progress. By targeting DEI hires, the goal appears to be a return to an America where wealth and power are concentrated among white men.
The firing of the only woman general and the second Black general in the name of “efficiency” raises serious concerns. Is this truly about performance, or is it a strategic move to reinforce systemic inequalities? If these trends continue, they will not only harm Black Americans but also women, people of color, and anyone who does not fit the narrow mold of privilege. This is not just about economics—it is about the very fabric of the American Dream.

Do you still support Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after the NNSA debacle?
Written and Narrated By Rev. Renaldo McKenzie, Editor-in-Chief, The Neoliberal, and Author of "Neoliberalism" and "Neoliberal Globalization".
Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have touted their restructuring efforts as rooted in "competence and care." Yet, their recent handling of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) layoffs reveals a stark contradiction—one of incompetence and recklessness.
According to reports from the Los Angeles Times and MSN, the Trump administration, under DOGE’s guidance, mistakenly fired a large portion of NNSA employees last Thursday, only to scramble the following day to rehire them after realizing their error. While most workers were reinstated, 28 employees were permanently dismissed. This misstep, labeled a mere "mistake" by the White House, raises serious concerns about the competence of those overseeing these cuts (MSN).
Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association, criticized DOGE's apparent lack of understanding:
“The DOGE people are coming in with absolutely no knowledge of what these departments are responsible for,” Kimball said. “They don’t seem to realize that it’s actually the Department of Nuclear Weapons more than it is the Department of Energy” (Los Angeles Times via MSN).
CNN further reported that the layoffs affected NNSA staff responsible for overseeing nuclear weapon production and ensuring compliance with safety standards. One insider revealed that the firings happened because “no one has taken any time to understand what we do and the importance of our work to the nation’s national security” (CNN).
The backlash was swift. Journalist Molly Jong-Fast sarcastically remarked:
“Accidentally firing the people in charge of the nukes! Whoops!”
A self-described Army veteran went even further, calling it “embarrassing to be an American” and asserting that “Trump and Musk are making America weaker, not stronger” (MSN).
Musk has repeatedly claimed that DOGE operates with “sensitivity and care,” but the agency’s record tells a different story—one of hasty, uninformed decisions that jeopardize national security. Despite mounting evidence of incompetence, DOGE continues its aggressive cost-cutting approach, often dismissing criticism with a simple “we are human” excuse. However, national security is not an area where trial and error should be acceptable.
This latest blunder underscores the urgent need for congressional oversight. If Trump and Musk cannot ensure competence in their governance, then external checks must be put in place before more reckless decisions threaten American security.

renaldomckenzie: Last night, I watched #captainamerica: Brave New World, in 3D. I have mixed feelings about it. As a superhero action movie, I would rate it a 5/10—it leaned far more into drama than action, and when action sequences did appear, they often felt contrived, almost as if I were watching a simulation rather than an organic, high-stakes battle. The lack of thrilling, immersive action sequences left a lot to be desired, especially for those expecting the high-energy spectacle characteristic of Marvel films. As a drama, I would rate the movie 7/10...

"We gonna have to start looking into Judges..." That's according to Donald Trump at a Press Conference at the White House Yesterday 2.11.2025, defending #doge and dispelling critiques against Musk and DOGE. In This episode of The Neoliberal Round, we share excerpts of #donaldtrump press briefing on Tuesday at the White House. With him was #elonmusk and X, and the press pressing Trump and Musk about DOGE. The media asked about the negative impact of downsizing the federal government to claims of Musk's conflict of interest and the Trump's declaring we may have to look into the judges too as they try to block many of his executive orders and plans to reform the government. Trump and Musk defended the DOGE and Trump tried to dispel any concerns about Musk's position and modus operandi. Musk stated that the US has become a bureaucracy and not a democracy. But who determines this? Yet government technocrats have helped to derail even the Caribbean. The episode included a commentary by Renaldo flanked by an in-studio team. Renaldo and a guess then wrap up the show discussing the article: "The One-Sided Reality of Workplace Loyalty", available in #theneoliberalpost at https://renaldocmckenzie.com.
Following the move to terminate federal workers so quickly and without apology and remorse Renaldo wrote in a blog: Employers across industries demand loyalty from their employees, yet they operate under “at-will” policies or impose ultimatums that undermine job security. Loyalty should be a two-way street, but in practice, it is often one-sided—marked by duplicity and hypocrisy....https://renaldocmckenzie.com/2025/02/the-one-sided-reality-of-workplace-loyalty/

In today's Lecture, Rev. Renaldo McKenzie continues to conceptualize and contextualize the course by exploring a working definition of the Caribbean. Rev. Renaldo explains the importance of the assignment to read Ama Mazama's Afrocentric Paradigm as we delve into a critical study of the Caribbean. Rev. McKenzie presented a historical overview of the Caribbean and indicated that the Caribbean is an Invention, yet an invention beginning where it depends on how we approach Caribbean history; a paradigm may help begin with Kamit, a place of victory and not at colonialism or enslavement. The students also share their understanding of the paradigm as it applies to the studies. Rev. McKenzie also discusses the China-Jamaica relationship and what it means for the Jamaica-US relationships.The class is a course at Jamaica Theological Seminary https://jts.edu.jm; and is a Lecture by Rev.

Several guest joins me to discuss the D.C. Plane Crash and Trump speech in reaction to the crash accusing DEI Host, Renaldo discusses the news of the crash on the day of the crash with Maurice Smith. Then he switches gears and shares an article published in The Neoliberal Post entitled: Air Traffic Control Failures: The Preventable Helicopter Crash Near Reagan National where he says: The recent collision between a helicopter and an American Airlines plane near Reagan National Airport raises urgent questions about air traffic control’s (ATC) role in preventing such disasters. With millions invested in cutting-edge radar and communication systems, why did ATC fail to steer the helicopter away from restricted airspace? Why wasn’t the standard separation between aircraft maintained?The Failure of Air Traffic ControlAt what point did air traffic controllers notice the helicopter’s proximity to the commercial airliner? Reports suggest they only became fully aware of the danger seconds before impact. This is deeply troubling. Shouldn’t ATC have been tracking both aircraft movements with enough time to issue a clear warning?We need to know what instructions, if any, were given. Did ATC inform the helicopter that it was approaching active flight paths? When the pilot acknowledged seeing the plane, did controllers issue urgent corrective instructions—such as turning 20 degrees away? In conditions of poor visibility, was ATC proactive in guiding the helicopter to safety?Was This a Preventable Tragedy?This crash didn’t happen due to mechanical failure. It occurred within the air traffic control zone, under the supposed supervision of trained professionals. The public deserves transparency: What exactly was happening inside the ATC tower at the time? Was there a miscommunication or a delay in response? Were controllers distracted, overwhelmed, or simply negligent? The aviation industry must address these concerns. More oversight is needed, including cameras inside air traffic control centers to ensure proper protocols are followed. The Erosion of Passenger Confidence...

This was a live in studio show which have some studio issues but it should be clear. Renaldo the creator and host is joined by Donte Nelson and Ricardo McKenzie Contributors and co-producers who are largely in the background or on phone.Renaldo also presents a recent article he published in The Neoliberal Journals entitled: In the article he said: Immigration reform continues to be a polarizing issue, and the debate surrounding birthright citizenship is no exception. There are individuals who exploit the 14th Amendment, coming to the United States with the sole intention of giving birth so their children can claim U.S. citizenship. While this practice is not a conspiracy, it is a documented reality that has far-reaching implications, including placing unnecessary strain on the foster care system when some of these parents leave, abandoning their U.S.-born children.

Welcome, everyone, to the 2025 series of lectures in Caribbean Thought at the Jamaica Theological Seminary! Today, we embark on a critical journey, asking: Is there a paradigm to the study of Caribbean Thought or Caribbean Studies. Should there be one, akin to the Afrocentric Paradigm championed by scholars like Dr. Molefi Asante and Dr. Ama Mazama?These are not mere theoretical questions; they challenge the very core of how we understand ourselves as Caribbean people, our place in the world, and our trajectory for the future. While the answers may not be fully realized today, we will begin to explore them as we contend with the idea of a Caribbean that is unique to its people and place, yet constantly shaped by external forces adjudicating its future.The Origins of Caribbean ThoughtWhen the study of Caribbean Thought was first conceived, its aim was largely historical—tracing a trajectory from colonialism to the early 2000s. This timeline often emphasized resistance to imperial domination, the hybridization of culture, and the formation of Caribbean identity. But as our tools of critical analysis and historical understanding have developed, we've uncovered something unsettling:•Our history, as we know it, is limited—if not corrupted.•Much of what we think we know about Africa, the Caribbean, and even religion is a distortion.•The Caribbean itself, as an idea, is an invention—born from colonial economic imperatives, geopolitical interests, and a sociopolitical framework dictated by external powers.In this light, the Caribbean emerges as a hybrid creation, one shaped by the forces of colonialism, globalization, and a lingering supremacist mold. This mold continues to affect the fortunes of Caribbean nations and their people, as evidenced in contemporary global politics—the U.S.-China tensions over Jamaica or Russia’s actions in Eastern Europe. These dynamics highlight the persistent vulnerabilities of small nations in a world dominated by superpowers.The Invention of the CaribbeanIf the Caribbean is an invention, then we must interrogate the narratives handed down to us:•What is the Caribbean?•Is it merely a product of colonial extraction and hybridity?•Can it reclaim its agency by articulating its own paradigms of identity and thought?The answer lies in examining our cultural, historical, and spiritual foundations. Too often, the Caribbean has been defined against Africa, adopting European paradigms that denounce African spirituality and philosophies in favor of Eurocentric frameworks. These same frameworks perpetuated ideas of Africa—and by extension, Blackness—that are steeped in oppression, degradation, and dehumanization.To be Black in this logic is to be othered, associated with negativity, and subjected to oppression. But must we begin the history of the Caribbean from colonial trauma?Rethinking Caribbean ThoughtBorrowing from Afrocentrism, perhaps the solution is to begin, as Frantz Fanon suggested, with a tabula rasa—a blank slate. Yet, even as we acknowledge the damage wrought by colonialism, we must recognize that our history is not solely one of victimhood. It is also a history of triumph and resilience, stretching back to the civilizations of Kamit (ancient Egypt) and beyond.While the Afrocentric Paradigm centers Africa in the study of African peoples and their place in the world, Caribbean Thought must grapple with its own complex hybridity. It cannot simply adopt Afrocentricity wholesale but must instead forge its own epistemology and axiology—one that:•Recognizes the intersections of African, European, Asian, and Indigenous influences in the Caribbean experience.•Centers the Caribbean people's agency, starting not from oppression but from resistance and victory.•Seeks to reclaim a sense of identity that is neither derivative of Africa nor Europe but un...

Should Jamaica sever ties with China? China is investing heavily in Jamaica. In fact, many Jamaicans say that Jamaica now belongs to the Chinese due to massive investments in the road networks particularly the Highways and even the harbour and ports; Jamaica has the 7th largest harbor in the western hemisphere.
In this episode we discuss with some Jamaicans the problem this may pose as Trump has demanded China to leave Jamaica. This situation is almost akin to the Russian situation where Ukraine was caught in the middle of a world order or international framework.
Today Ukraine is fighting a war due to a decision they made to lie in bed with Russia's enemies. Now Jamaica is in bed with a #usa enemy or rival, China. What does this mean for the small island?

This is an excerpt of the Funeral service for the late Rev. Bernella McKenzie. In this excerpt we share Rev. Renaldo McKenzie message, a tribute in memory of his mother Bernella Mckenzie entitled: Tribute From A son to a Mother A. Mommy's Faith and Prayer LifeMommy was a woman of deep prayer, unwavering faith, and extraordinary grace. She devoted countless hours to praying and interceding earnestly for her family, church, Jamaica, and the world. Her commitment to prayer was steadfast, as she believed in the biblical command to "pray without ceasing."She kept a prayer journal, where she noted her prayers and the answers she received. Her entries were often brief yet profound. Mommy prayed for protection, sweet dreams, and visions; for blessings and unity within her extended family, both in Jamaica and abroad; and for her relatives and in-laws, including Cecil.In 2004, she wrote in her journal about praying for all her children to fully turn to God, and she joyfully recorded, "My grandson Sheldon was baptized and is doing well." That same year, she fervently prayed for Sheryl Small's healing from cancer. In 2011, she noted with gratitude, "She's healed and still doing well."Mommy's life was defined by her devout Christian faith. Her prayers reflected her love for God and her unwavering trust in His promises. She was a beacon of faith, an intercessor for many, and a testament to the power of a life lived in communion with God.In Mommy's final moments, I was blessed to be with her. She had waited for me because she knew how much I regretted missing our dad's passing and how deeply I wanted to be there. On Saturday night, I arrived to find her unable to speak, a mask over her nose as she labored to breathe. She could only utter faint sounds, saying "hee."I began to sing, and Ricky joined me. Together, we sang Arise and Be Healed, pouring our hearts into the melody. Then, I prayed for several minutes. As I prayed, she began to cry and joined me in prayer. Speaking in tongues, I felt the Holy Spirit move, and suddenly, she removed the mask and began to speak in tongues herself. She waved her hands and, with remarkable clarity, said, "Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit."Those were her last words. She then went quiet, as though ready to give up the ghost. That night, I returned to her home—our family’s childhood home—and slept in her bedroom. Around 4 a.m., she visited me in a dream. She came to say goodbye and to encourage me to be strong and of good health. When I woke, I knew she was gone.Mommy never gave up. Even at the very end, her faith remained unshaken. Her love for God and those she left behind shone brightly in her final moments. Her life was a testament to the power of faith and the enduring presence of God’s spirit.B. The Power of Prayer and Self-ReflectionIt is my mother’s life of prayer, faith, and self-reflection that has profoundly shaped my understanding of the transformative power of prayer and introspection.When we pray, let us pray without sitting; when we dream, let us dream without sleeping. Believe and have faith, but stay away from naysayers. Prayer sharpens our focus, helping us acknowledge our limitations while embracing God’s favor and the limitless possibilities He offers. It connects us with the divine—beyond and within—and aligns us with the cosmos and the cognitive.The Bible reminds us, “Men ought always to pray and never faint.” My mother embodied this verse in her daily life, just as Daniel did when he prayed and overcame the lions’ den. What is your den? Prayer has the power to change things.My mother’s life is a testament to this truth. Her prayers, faith, and self-reflection have not only shaped her journey but also continue to inspire mine.By Rev. Renaldo McKenzie President of the Neoliberal Corporation and Creator of The Neoliberal Round.Author of "Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance."

What will define 2025? We began the year with news of the mass killing in #neworleans, where an American from Texas rented a pickup truck, drove to New Orleans, and plowed it into a crowd early New Year's Day. Fifteen people were killed and several injured. It was another domestic terror attack. We were hoping to begin the year with a happy new year and discuss great new ideas for the show and the movement. Unfortunately, we began discussing mass murders. That defined one of the challenges for America in 2024.
Co-Host Donte and Host Renaldo discuss the killing on January 1 on the show and what's happening next at The Neoliberal and The Neoliberal Round.

This essay by Renaldo McKenzie is a revised version of an originally Submitted paper to Prof. Ori Soltes at Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies on Date: October 25, 2021 as part of a final essay presentation in the Doctor of Liberal Studies Foundations Program.
It was published in The Neoliberal Post by The Neoliberal in https://renaldocmckenzie.com in June 2023.
The Essay link: https://renaldocmckenzie.com/2023/06/plato/
Abstract: This essay is a reflection on Plato’s Phaedo, particularly regarding life, death, and the afterlife. In the Phaedo, one see’s Socrates in Plato’s eyes, Plato being a student of Socrates who seems infatuated with Socrates. The reflections here raise questions about why people wouldn’t choose to end their lives if death brings glory, godliness, and beauty, and suggests that the gods created a system to prevent this through philosophical preparation. The passage also mentions a connection between Christian theology, particularly Calvinist and Armenians views of salvation, and the Socratic-Platonic philosophical foundation. Moreover, what was missing initially when we did this essay was the African influence from the time of Kamit. In this episode, we commented on the influence of Kamit on Plato and Socrates....

Class: The Afrocentric ParadigmWritten by: Rev. Renaldo McKenzie, PhD StudentProfessor: Dr. Ama MazamaDate: October 31, 2024Topic: Presentation on Afrocentrism and Afrocentricity: How does Sara Balakrishnan Approach Afrocentrism and Afrocentricity? How does she differentiate between the two? Recently, there was a discussion in one of the classes at Temple University in the Africology and African American Studies Department about who is “Afrocentric” or not, based on various measures of what is employed by the student in his/her own understanding of the texts concerning the foundations of knowledge and the corruption of cultures which persist. In fact, what seemed to have been unclear among the students was whether there was any difference between “Afrocentrism” and “Afrocentric.” Yet, no one mentioned “Afrocentrism”. Instead, the students, in my estimation, spoke of “Afrocentricity” as the highest political tradition of “Afrocentrism” or African liberation. Some students argued that Dubois was not “Afrocentric,” and Fanon was also because they were not centered on Africa and still relied on European traditions within their strategies. It was as if Dubois and Fanon were not significant because they were not “Afrocentric” enough. Regardless, what they were was part of a tradition we call “Afrocentrism”. Sarah Balakrishnan attempted to delineate between “Afrocentricity” and “Afrocentrism” in her article entitled, “Afrocentrism Revisited,” Africa in the Philosophy of Black Nationalism.” She does not make the mistake of downplaying the contributions of any to our history. However, it discusses the history and development of Africa and its struggle for liberation within the historical context. In a sense, Balakrishnan attempted to reconcile the divide between those who advocated for one kind of liberation and “Africanism” or “Africanity” for another and brought clarity to the debate by suggesting where and when “Africanism” and its rich tradition begins: transcending “Afrocentricity” to considering the rich historical and political traditions and contributions towards African liberation starting with the first evidence of African civilization. Balakrishnan’s approach is macroscopic and broad or considers the general and the whole instead of looking at particulars or aspects of “African” reality to make the tradition and experience inclusive. Nevertheless, she makes a comparison between the whole/general that is “Afrocentrism” and the particular that is “Black Nationalism” and “Afrocentricity”. Balakrishnan splits “Afrocentrism” into political traditions or movements such as “Black Nationalism”/Garveyism and “Afrocentricity” or the “Afrocentric” movement, etc. In terms of describing “Afrocentrism” within the tradition or movement of “Black Nationalism”, Balakrishnan uses a Marxist notion of self to conceptualize how, through strategies or systematic means, Africans became dispossessed of self. So, the repossession of self through self-discovery and developing a consciousness of resilience defined the black nationalist movements of the 19th and early 20th century: Pan African Movement, Garveyism, Negritude, the Black Panther, and (Independent) Movements. According to Balakrishnan, In this sense, Afrocentrism belonged to a political tradition known as Blacknationalism, having formed one of its earliest variations. Unlike in the European mold, the nation of Black nationalism did not emerge technocratically with the modern state. Rather, on the collective level, Black nationalism has concerned the African’s dispossession of the self: an ontological alienation consequent of the continuous subordination of Black life to capital, whether through slavery, colonization, or apartheid. In the pursuit of self-repossession (self-sovereignty), Black nationalism seeks to infuse Blackness with meaning and personhood, with liberty and destiny.

What does it Mean to MAGA (Make America Great Again)? Academic, Professor the Results of the US 2024 Presidential Elections. He starts by saying that there's one thing that people are not talking about when you think about the results of the 2024 us election and this "project 2025". When you look at the data, it's clear that this election, unlike any other, was racial; people voted based on their race: over 70 % of white people, women, and men voted for #donaldtrump Donald. At the same time, there have been concerns that America was losing its soul, its whiteness. # Donald Trump won because he had the overwhelming support of white people. It was a mandate to preserve the status quo or the majority in America.The discussions will also be available in #theneoliberalcorporation Journals, #theneoliberaljournals, and The Neoliberal Post.

Questions:
- Historical and Structural Impact
What has been the impact of U.S. elections on African Americans historically?
- Progress or Symbolism?
With Kamala Harris, an African American and South Asian woman, serving as Vice President, is this symbolic progress, or does it signal genuine political and social advancement for African Americans?
- Electoral Process and Representation
Civil rights lawyer Lani Guinier argues that the electoral process fails to provide adequate representation for African Americans. Do you believe this is a fair criticism, and how does it apply in today’s political climate?
- Policy Impact and Economic Disparity
How effective have policies like the Voting Rights Act, Affirmative Action, DEI initiatives, and Obamacare been in addressing economic and social disparities for African
Americans?
Follow-up: With recent attacks on Affirmative Action and Critical Race Theory, how could these shifts impact African Americans’ socioeconomic status and political power?
- Crime, Poverty, and Urban Investment
In areas with large African American populations, high rates of poverty, crime, and limited investment are common. Have recent election outcomes led to effective policies that address these issues?
Follow-up: What does data suggest about the correlation between elected officials' actions and improvements in these communities?
- The Role of Agency and African-Centered Consciousness
Some argue that political empowerment for African Americans begins with a consciousness rooted in African identity and heritage. Should policies focus on fostering a cultural consciousness as a basis for African American empowerment, and is there political will for such policies?

Looking ahead, how can African Americans leverage their voting power to drive more significant policy changes? Are there any current movements or leaders effectively channeling this potential?
Follow-up: How can African American communities build coalitions or use collective agency to push for long-term structural changes?

There's something I can't get out of my mind since yesterday at the Post Elections Forum held at Temple University' Africology and African American Studies department. How can an African American professor, sit here in his Ivory Tower and say they didn't vote because African Americans have been voting for 50 years without any progress? When sitting here as a professor came from the efforts of people like Octavius V Catto who was killed on October 10, 1871, trying to get Africans involved in the electoral process. In American political democracy, nothing happens without the electoral process. But that's one step, and the fight is multifaceted. Some use politics and others use academics, while others use entrepreneurial initiatives economics, etc. It is as if all the work to get us involved was in vain. When our ability to get things done requires real actions still happening, and voting is part of that process. It's hypocrisy. Watch the Discussions on The Neoliberal Round Podcast and YouTube Channel by Renaldo C Mckenzie. https://www.youtube.com/live/60Zo9-WIX4w?si=mEluS9fPHQVO974n The full show will air tonight at 6pm on any stream.

We are on Temple University main college campus for this episode of The Neoliberal Round: Street Vibes Pulse of the Street Season Part 6. We interviewed two young men who are students about who they will vote for and why.Renaldo also shares that he will vote for the first time: "Tomorrow, I will vote in a US Presidential Election for the first time in my life. And it's on a historical day. For the first time a multicultural woman who identifies as #African, #Indian and American will be on the ballot. It's historical as African Americans and even women weren't allowed to vote. Today an Asia-Africa-American woman is on the ballot. Is this what progress and opportunity looks like? Well, we must first take advantage of the opportunities without politicizing them requiring #Africanunity and spurred by #Africanconsciousness and cultural groundedness?"

Who are you voting for? We continue to ask African American Men whether they are voting and who they are voting for, Trump or Harris. Today we interviewed four young men and included one woman with her daughter. It was quite interesting as all the men we spoke to stated that they do not plan to vote due to several reasons, one man said that none of the candidates will help the poor , another said that they do not trust the system, another stated that he was a non-denominational Christian who does not vote. Only the woman stated that she was voting for Kamala Harris. This is a continuation of the previous episodes on Street Vibes Pulse of the Street where we interview African American Men about their political choices for president or their indifference towards elections,You can get the other shows here: This is a production of The Neoliberal Corporation for The Neoliberal Round Podcast and YouTube Channel.Visit us https://theneoliberal.com or https://renaldomckenzie.comSubscribe to The Neoliberal Round Podcast https://anchor.fm/theneoliberalCheck out our store at https://store.theneoliberal.comSupport us at https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/support

"From one "Black Man" to another "Black man": who are you voting for?" Renaldo McKenzie, Creator and Host took to the streets to interview over 100 black men in Center City Philadelphia asking: Who are you supporting for President and Why, and what is the mood like in your family, neighborhood and workplace, what are they saying, who are they voting for and why? This episode features the first twelve (12) conversations; and it promises to be powerful as African American men discuss why they will or will not vote for the first African American/South Asian Woman. In, fact, we had some major debates as several men joined in while we were interviewing other men about who they will vote for. Some boldly shouted "Trump!" even if he is racist, they will vote for him. Others say "women are too strict!" pointing to the strictness of Mayor Cherelle Parker. What was interesting is that men who seem to be interested in making money under the table promoted "Trump" and one man stated that the Democrats represent the party of Jim Crowe; even though we are in 2024 and that is no longer the case. Yet, many have voted already, or will vote for Harris, some for Trump. It seems to be a split, down the middle in PA. What was interesting is that African American men supporting Trump hoping to get COVID type payout are not concerned with the accusation of Trump inciting an insurrection, and do not remember George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tyre Nichols and Eddie Irrie Zarry; and the police brutality that defined Trump's term where he supported the police and showed no remorse for the blatant attack on "black" peoples by the police and the system. In stead, Trump continues to benefit from the same Police Union who defended the brutality of their cops on "black" people. Yet, "Black" people are out there defending and promoting the same man that has the support of his dogs who defend discrimination and police brutality and extra-judicial killings. Black people forget what has been done to them by those advocating for let's "make America Great Again," an America yesterday that has oppressed, impoverished and destroyed the lives of "black" folk or African Americans.They forget or have no idea about how economic policy and conditions give rise to economic situations such as inflation. Prices are high today largely because of the 4 years of COVID-19 where there was very little productivity. However, Americans were getting payouts, but "black" men were getting pittance and billionaires were getting millions. By the time Harris and Biden came into office they have to now fix the economy as Obama did, applying economic policies to restrict the economy while protecting poor people's lives during these contractionary period. "Black People forget the Affordable Act and the ways it is helping the lives of the poor, middle class or working black Americans who stand to loose a lot if Trump is able to overturn Obamacare.Nevertheless, the "black men were resolute about their support for or against Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.Twin Brothers and host of The Neoliberal Round News Round-Up, Ricardo and Renaldo will discuss these stories and interviews this weekend on The Neoliberal Round News Round-Up.This is a production of The Neoliberal Corporation by Renaldo McKenzie for The Neoliberal Round Podcast and YouTube Channel.

Duron Zuri joins me on the Show to share his short story about how he beat his addiction. It is a story of letting go and letting God he said, tapping into his African Spirituality and developing a consciousness that helped to build his"agency". What is "Agency"? According to Prof. Mazama, Africologists and Chair of the Africology Department at #templeuniversity stated in a Lecture that, agency is the ability to act in one behalf, to move in a way that improves self or for self-improvement. Many struggle to act in ways that help themselves due to a lack of agency. This Agency is what Afrocentricity promotes to challenge the perceptions about people in Africa who lack agency to act in ways that Africans and people have always worked for one's betterment. Faith helps to facilitate this agency, not a Christian one or a Jewish one, but one that speaks to a people's culture and center that revolutionizes consciousness. #africology then becomes an essential aspect of helping to reduce recidivism since it facilitates the development of agency and a change in perception and consciousness, a necessary step towards sobriety and recovery.Short Story Part 13 is an episode of #theneoliberalround #podcast.Subscribe to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/theneoliberalProduced by #theneoliberalcorporation https://theneoliberal.com and https://renaldocmckenzie.comVisit our store: https://store.theneoliberal.comSupport us at https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/support
In this episode of The Neoliberal Round, we dive into one of the most alarming and critical global issues unfolding right now: the escalating conflict in the Middle East, which has the potential to ignite a World War III. As tensions between Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran reach a boiling point, the situation has rapidly evolved from a regional conflict into a crisis with global implications.
The episode starts by breaking down the chain of events that have intensified the conflict. We begin with Israel’s heavy-handed response to missile attacks from Hamas, which resulted in over 2,000 Palestinian deaths, most of them innocent civilians. But the conflict took an even more dangerous turn when Israel assassinated a Hezbollah leader with close ties to Iran, dragging Hezbollah—and by extension, Iran—into the fray.
In retaliation, Iran launched over 200 ballistic missiles toward Israel. While Israel’s defense systems, bolstered by U.S. technology, managed to intercept most of these missiles, several hit key Israeli military bases, marking a significant escalation in the conflict. This brings us to the central question of the episode: Will Israel retaliate, and if so, what will be the consequences?
The potential fallout from an Israeli retaliation could be catastrophic, not just for the Middle East but for the entire world. Unlike Hamas, Iran is a formidable regional power, equipped with advanced ballistic missiles and strong alliances with major global players like Russia, China, and other BRICS nations. A strike on Hezbollah, a close ally of Iran, would be tantamount to declaring war on Iran itself. And Iran is not isolated; it has the backing of powerful nations that could quickly turn this conflict into a global war.
We explore the broader geopolitical implications, pointing out that a conflict between Israel and Iran could draw in the U.S., Western Europe, and Japan on one side, while Russia, China, and the BRICS nations—along with other Middle Eastern countries—could form an opposing bloc. Such a scenario would stretch beyond the borders of Israel and Iran, potentially triggering simultaneous conflicts in Taiwan and Ukraine, as China and Russia take advantage of the chaos to advance their own geopolitical interests.
Russia has already moved its naval forces closer to the U.S., positioning ships off the coast of Cuba, while China is massing troops near the Taiwanese border, potentially preparing for an invasion. This confluence of crises raises the specter of a multi-front global conflict that could spiral out of control, dragging the world’s most powerful nations into war.
In this episode, we also discuss the urgent need for diplomacy. With the stakes so high, the U.S. and its allies must engage with Israel immediately to ensure that any response is measured and calculated to avoid triggering a wider war. The decisions made in the coming days could determine whether the world steps back from the edge of global conflict or plunges headfirst into World War III.
The Neoliberal Round offers a detailed and thought-provoking analysis of how this Middle Eastern conflict has become a flashpoint for global tensions, drawing in not just regional actors but the world’s most powerful nations. With Israel on the verge of retaliation and Iran ready to respond, the entire world is watching—and waiting.
Will diplomacy prevail, or are we on the brink of a war that will shape the future of global politics? Join us as we analyze this unfolding crisis and its potential to reshape the international order.

In 2021, I began the Doctoral program in Liberal Studies at Georgetown University, where I completed the Foundations of Liberal Studies. The initial course, DLS 1, explored the history of humanity, beginning with Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey. While Homer briefly references Egypt and Africa, mentioning an "old man" as a source of stories, many Africologists, such as Professor Kimani Nehusi, author of Person and Personality, critique the omission of Africa's foundational role in the history of civilization. At Georgetown, the course left out any acknowledgment of Africa or ancient Egypt (Kemet) as part of the foundation of Western civilization. After meeting members of the Ausar Auset Society in Philadelphia, conducting an interview with them, and learning about Kemet I realized that my studies were not as accurate or inclusive of Africa's contributions. I embarked on research to uncover sources that place Africa at the foundation of human history, or at least prior to Greek civilization, which itself is influenced by African traditions and culture. Scholars like Dr. Ana Mazama, Chair of the Department of Africology at Temple University and author of The Afrocentric Paradigm, argue that what we know of ancient Egypt has been "bastardized" by the Eurocentric retelling of history, diluting the contributions of Kemet and Africa.I subsequently enrolled in the PhD program at Temple University, where I started courses in Africology and African American History, including African Civilizations, The Afrocentric Paradigm, and a Proseminar in Africology. The Afrocentric paradigm, like the Eurocentric one, begins with a people, place, culture, and the stories that give meaning to their lives, shaping lasting communities and advancing the progression of life. However, when we view history through an Afrocentric lens, the conflict is not merely class-based, as Marx described, but cultural. Afrocentrism challenges Eurocentric notions of humanity’s origins, placing Africa at the center, and works to deconstruct and decolonize white supremacy and the idea that Eurocentrism is universal. Afrocentricity emphasizes agency, cultural dissemination, and economic empowerment while rejecting Marxism, postmodernism, and even Black nationalism.I disagree with the claim that postmodernism denies or rejects culture entirely. Instead, postmodernists argue that culture is not divine, natural, or universal, but rather, a reflection of human egos and experiences.So, where do we begin? According to Dr. Nehusi, the question "Who am I?" must start with Africa as the center, which means beginning with Kemet. However, I believe we must first begin with the Ultimate—God. For God is "that which nothing greater can be conceived or imagined," and He has revealed Himself to all humanity, as we are made in His image. In response, humanity creates civilization or culture, shaped by their context and environment. However, cultures—whether African, European, or Chinese—have often been privileged over one another, leading to revolutions or wars that impose and erase. This cultural domination has been particularly evident in the African experience, where European art, history, and values supplanted African ones, leading to what could be described as cultural genocide. Yet, as Dana Berry highlights in Price for Her Pound of Flesh, the African spirit has preserved its history, preventing total annihilation.God's revelations to humanity are not exclusive to any one group, and each culture's response to divine inspiration varies. Yet, why is one narrative privileged over another? Today, I sat with Jermain Reason to begin my reflections on Africology as I continue my journey toward Afrocentricity.

She begins this new book in 2021 talking about how she had to remove the masks from her life to reveal her true self. The book is an easy-to-read short booklet talking about her brief period of her life where she found herself.

DESCRIPTION: Attorney Ken W Good joins the show to discuss bail reform and its efficacy given the conflicting data surrounding Bail Reform and whether it is effective in minimizing recidivism and reducing crime. Some studies show that Bail Reform is effective while others suggest the opposite. Ken has been on several mainstream and independent news shows such as Fox, MSNBC, and several podcasts talking about bail reform and has his podcast exploring bail reform. Today we go toe-to-toe talking about bail reform and its efficacy. The Show was inspired by Elliott Chang of MediaVista Public Relations who helped to put the show together and provided the guest for today's show.
Overview: Bail reform on violent crime in America. Some studies from advocates show that such crimes did not increase as a result of reform efforts, while other studies showed the opposite. Are any of the studies accurate? Bail reform remains a contentious subject, with significant implications for public safety and justice system equity. On the one hand, a study from California’s Yolo County District Attorney's office reports alarming re-offense rates among defendants released on zero-bail, suggesting a direct link between bail reform and increased crime. According to this study, 70% of defendants released without bail reoffended, with a significant proportion committing violent crimes. Conversely, a study published May 22 by researchers at Drexel University, focusing on New Jersey's bail reform, finds no evidence that eliminating cash bail increases violence. New Jersey, one of the first states to significantly reform its bail system, has seen a reduction in pretrial detention without a corresponding rise in gun violence or other crimes. As bail reform continues to gain traction nationwide, understanding its true impact is crucial for policymakers, law enforcement, and the public. Misconceptions about bail reform could lead to misguided policies that either compromise public safety or perpetuate unnecessary incarceration. We will touch on the following points: -- The methodology and validity of the conflicting studies.-- Real-world implications of bail reform laws on public safety and recidivism.-- Comparative analysis of jurisdictions with varying bail policies.-- Policy recommendations to balance public safety with justice reform. Across the country, bail reform efforts have advanced swiftly, despite growing opposition from those concerned about public safety. The debate between advocates and opponents is intensifying, with each side firmly believing they are in the right. Meanwhile, the public is left questioning whether community safety is being compromised in a game of political maneuvering. About Ken W. Good: Ken graduated from Hardin Simmons University in 1982 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree. He received a Master of Education Degree in 1986 from Tarleton State University, a part of the Texas A&M System. In 1989, he received his law degree from Texas Tech School of Law, where he was a member of the Texas Tech Law Review. Mr. Good has argued cases before the Supreme Court of Texas and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, along with numerous courts of appeals, including the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Mr. Good is married and has two daughters. (www.pbtx.com)

PODCAST AND CHILL: Blooper Moments and Behind-THE-Scenes with two of the Creators of The NeoLiberal Round Podcast and YouTube Channel Renaldo McKenzie and Donte T Nelson caught off guard in this rare moment discussing the podcast and channel and Donte working on his intro. We decided to publish this as it was funny, had some humor, and provided a light moment we wanted to share to facilitate some light "let down hair" moments without the seriousness of academia and politics, showing the other side of life. It was a rare and raw moment that we captured with Donte Nelson working on his intro voice and memorizing the tagline. As always, The Neoliberal Round continues to be a tongue-twister. Renaldo also discussed issues surrounding social media platforms blocking Content Creators' content that are political; defending freedom of expression and speech.The episode is "behind-the-scenes," and casual using a hand-held camera.

Are Bail Reform Laws Causing Violent Crime to Go Up or Down? Ken Good, a Practising Attorney and a Board member of the Professional Bondsmen of Texas will be a guest on The NeoLiberal Round Podcast and YouTube Channel next week. I will discuss the widely varying reports of the effect of bail reform on violent crime in America with Mr. Good. Some studies from advocates show that such crimes did not increase due to reform efforts, while other studies showed the opposite. Are any of the studies accurate? Good has worked closely with lawmakers and other individuals on bail matters. He will offer his perspective on the impact that criminal justice and bail reform have had on public safety.Bail reform remains a contentious subject, with significant implications for public safety and justice system equity. On the one hand, a study from California’s Yolo County District Attorney’s office reports alarming re-offense rates among defendants released on zero bail, suggesting a direct link between bail reform and increased crime (1). According to this study, 70% of defendants released without bail reoffended, with a significant proportion committing violent crimes (ibid).Conversely, a study published May 22 by researchers at Drexel University, focusing on New Jersey’s bail reform, finds no evidence that eliminating cash bail increases violence (2). New Jersey, one of the first states to significantly reform its bail system, has seen a reduction in pretrial detention without a corresponding rise in gun violence or other crimes (ibid).As bail reform continues to gain traction nationwide, understanding its true impact is crucial for policymakers, law enforcement, and the public. Misconceptions about bail reform could lead to misguided policies that either compromise public safety or perpetuate unnecessary incarceration.We will share the interview as an Editorial in The Neoliberal Post at renaldocmckenzie.com and The Neoliberal Journals at theneoliberal.com.

In Today's final Lecture, we review a final graded quiz that explores the concepts covered over the two semesters; to prepare the class for the exam on August 15th, 2024. We begin the Lecture by discussing how learning has evolved with Technology and Artificial Intelligence and how Learning must be memorable. Section A: Differentiate between?a. Global North vs. Global South:b. Democratic Socialism Versus Dependent Capitalism:c. Capitalism vs. Marxism:d. Orientalism vs. Occidentalism:e. Granted Versus Taken Freedoms:f. CPI of zero Vs. CPI one hundred:Section B: Discuss in on paragraph1. Why is it considered a myth by some academics of the subaltern that Haiti had once colonized the Dominican Republic?2. What separates Haiti and Cuba from other Caribbean Islands?3. What is the difference between Afrocentrism and Eurocentrism?4. Why is Obeah considered evil and what is the original purpose of Voodoo and Obeah?5. What socio-political condition gave rise to Reggae as a religion and philosophy?6. The Caribbean is said to be an invention. Who is credited with this idea and do you agree with this description of the Caribbean?Section C: Describe The Following Caribbean Thinkers1. C.L.R James: Known for works like "The Black Jacobins," was a Marxist historian and political theorist...
-
Walter Rodney: "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa" is a seminal work in postcolonial studies. Rodney's Marxist analysis exposed the exploitative nature of European colonialism and its role in perpetuating underdevelopment in Africa and the Caribbean.
-
Homi Bhabha: A postcolonial theorist, is known for his concept of "cultural hybridity" and his critiques of colonial discourse. His work emphasizes the complexities of cultural identity and how colonized peoples negotiate their identities in relation to the dominant.
-
Frantz Fanon: Fanon's "The Wretched of the Earth" is a foundational text in postcolonial theory and decolonization movements. Fanon's work explores the psychological effects of colonialism on both the colonizer and the colonized.

The Jamaican government has announced that it will begin open discussions on the legalization of Obeah in Jamaica. Write an essay arguing for or against the legalization of Obeah in Jamaica.E. It is said that Haiti colonized The Dominican Republic between 1822 and 1844, however many historians such as Eller argue that Haiti’s takeover of DR was a lie created by the US and former colonial powers, including Spain. Do you agree or disagree with this narrative that Haitians colonized DR? Explain why you agree or disagree.F. Documentary films such as Life and Debt, and Caribbean Post-Colonial Skeptics such as Ramesh Ramsarwan and David Witter argue that the Caribbean’s position of dependency and unstable development is a result of Structural Adjustment policies imposed by Post Industrial countries of the Global North. However, some argue that Caribbean Politicians and leaders were weak-kneed and lacked vision while others such as Prof. Trevor Monroe of the National Integrity Agency in a 2014 documentary film entitled: “Combatting Corruption in Jamaica” blamed political mismanagement of funds and corruption as slowing Jamaica’s development. Write an essay making a case for what you believe is responsible for Jamaica’s and the Caribbean position today as dependent, vulnerable, and uncompetitive states.

We continue with season 2 of Street Vibes Pulse of the Street. This season we explore support for Trump V Harris. In part 1, we were at a train station speaking with a Caucasian American in Philly originally from New Jersey. In this episode TRAILER, part 2 of this season's series, we interview a young black American male from Philly whose heritage hails from Nigeria. Like many young men in Philly he seems to be supporting Trump because they believe that Trump would be more willing to give Americans money which many received during Covid19 pandemic.
In part 1, the white American woman was excited about Kamala Harris, while IN THIS EPISODE TRAILER (PART 2) the young black male was not.
QUESTION: Is this an indication of voting patterns in Philadelphia and across cities in America?

This Lecture continues the Caribbean Thought Lecture Series exploring the challenge of Caribbean Development but now going beyond the external to the internal. Corruption has significantly held back Jamaica and the Caribbean as much as the IMF or structural adjustment has placed conditionalities that have constricted the growth. Nevertheless, the problem was complex and compounded by several factors in which the locals also played a role. The #caribbean has had tremendous investments over the years but corrupt figures have squandered or mismanaged the funds leading to missed opportunities. This lecture discusses this issue and borrows data from #transparencyinternational https://www.transparency.org/en/what-is-corruption, and Dr. Trevor Monroe's and the #docu-filmnationalintegrityagency #nia, about the cost of corruption https://youtu.be/PEZnDCMvjO8?si=d38c17mzF97rkIGb. The Lecture also includes a video from a previous lecture on Corruption https://youtu.be/XIk37RWW90w.

Joe Biden has officially withdrawn from the US Presidential race, after several days of Democratic pressure to step aside following his failed debate and concerns surrounding his health. Over the weekend, there was news circulating about the President requesting to see the #polls between #donaldtrump and #kamalaharris while recovering from #covid19 at age 81. On Saturday, there was news that donations are driving up as donors paused their giving calling for a new Democratic Candidate. On Sunday, Biden dropped out making the announcement around midday as we were getting ready to release an episode about why #biden should step aside. After the the announcement, we adjusted the show taped before a live studio audience with special call-in guest contributor, Ricardo McKenzie and Paul Booth who are supporters of the Democratic party and several others from various political or no political affiliations. It was a fierce debate between the host of the show, Renaldo McKenzie and his twin brother, Ricardo McKenzie who contended for different sides of the US political divide. The show was done in audio only with background images and breaking news still for video viewers.

The students delivered a ferocious critique of King Shawa's presentation; describing it as radical, bordering hearsay, while one student said, "At what point do you draw a line in history". Nevertheless, Professor Renaldo stated that he appreciated the opportunity to share the perspective with the class as it is an important and interesting theory to contend with as academics within the subaltern. Furthermore, Prof. McKenzie re-iterated that "#history is a result of the varieties of human natures and circumstances, (Kant).

Question: According to the Film Life and Debt, who is to be blamed for Jamaica's slow development and dependency
- Jamaica Government
- IMF and World Bank
- Colonialism and Europe
- OPEC
- NAFTA, WTO and USA Answer:
Participate via our Spotify community page or YouTube Community Channel Page. This Lecture continues the discussion from last class exploring the paradox of sovereignty. Today we review the film "Life and Debt" by Stephanie Black about Jamaica's challenge since post-independence to develop economically as a result of the external or foreign forces using debt, structural adjustment under globalization. Globalization has not positively affected the Caribbean given what W.W. Rostow theorize about the stages of development.
We begin with a reading of the text book: Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance, chapter 10 on Cinema and Globalization. The chapter begins with a critique of the film which we discuss briefly before we begin the film. The film is available in full via Amazon Prime for purchase.

Recent events at the Donald Trump rally have raised serious concerns. Eyewitnesses report seeing a 20-year-old (Thomas Crooks) attempting to assassinate Donald Trump by climbing a building with a rifle, an area that should have been secured. Despite alerting law enforcement, bystanders observed no immediate action. Furthermore, Secret Service agents were seen on a roof behind Trump, aiming their guns at the shooter, yet law enforcement only reacted after the shooter fired his weapon.
This delay in response prompts critical questions about potential failures and the possibility of organized involvement. Initial reports indicate the gunman did not act alone, resulting in one fatality and two injuries. The gunman was eventually killed by law enforcement. We must examine where law enforcement fell short and whether this incident was part of a larger conspiracy. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Secret Service, and other Law enforcement agencies are investigating the incident and will provide further updates on the stories circulating bout the assassination attempts.
Background:
The attempted assassination occurred during a highly anticipated rally where former President Donald Trump was addressing his supporters. The 20-year-old gunman, whose identity is being withheld pending further investigation, managed to gain access to a vantage point that should have been off-limits. This breach of security has sparked outrage and calls for a thorough investigation into the protocols and actions of the law enforcement agencies involved.
Key Details:
- Eyewitness Accounts: Attendees saw the shooter climbing the building and alerted law enforcement.
- Delayed Response: Despite being informed, there was no immediate action from law enforcement until the shooter fired.
- Secret Service Actions: Agents were positioned on a roof behind Trump and were seen aiming at the shooter.
- Casualties: Two individuals were killed, and one was injured before the shooter was neutralized.
Reference:
- Eyewitness reports on the shooter’s actions
- Details on law enforcement’s delayed response
- Secret Service agents’ positioning and actions
- Initial investigation findings on possible accomplices
- Official statements from law enforcement and event organizers
- https://theneoliberal.com
This incident underscores the critical need for rigorous security measures and swift, decisive action in the face of threats. The NeoLiberal Journals will continue to follow this story closely, providing updates as more information becomes available.

What is the difference between Haiti and Cuba and the other Caribbean Islands such as Jamaica and Barbados?
In today's Lecture, we begin by asking the students to provide an answer from several options. The activity provided a vital introduction to the topic, exploring the paradox of sovereignty. The Lecture is part of a course at Jamaica Theological Seminary https://jts.edu.jm and a Lecture series by The Neoliberal Corporation , https://theneoliberal.com. The students in the class are taking the course via zoom from all over the world.
The Lecture is delivered by Professor Renaldo McKenzie, Author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance and Doctoral Candidate at Georgetown University and Temple University Renaldo graduated from University of Penn and is a Penn Alumni.
Lecture in Notes: The Paradox of Sovereignty: Cuba and Haiti's Struggle for Freedom and the Challenge of Development (Chapter Excerpt).
By Rev. Renaldo McKenzie, Author of NeoLiberal Globalization Reconsidered,Professor of Caribbean Thought, Jamaica Theological Seminary
Brain Teaser: Quiz What do Haiti and Cuba not have in common with D.R., Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados?
1.Poorest in the world
2.Black and brown peoples
3.Granted freedoms
4.Taken Freedoms
5.Embargoes and shaky diplomacy and international relations
- Debt, dependency and non-competitiveness
7.Formerly colonized
Options:
A.2, 5, 6 and 7
B.1, 4 and 5
C.1 only 3
D.3 and 4
E.1, 3, and 4
F.All of the above
The Answer Reveals A Complex Tapestry of Independence and Adversity With its vibrant cultures, rich histories, and diverse peoples, the Caribbean region has long been a subject of fascination and study. Within this complex tapestry of Caribbean thought lies a brain teaser, a puzzle that invites contemplation and analysis. This quiz, exploring the nuanced differences among various Caribbean nations, catalyzes deeper reflection on the socio-political landscapes of these countries. At the heart of this brain teaser lies a question: What sets Haiti and Cuba apart from the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados? The options presented delve into a myriad of factors, from economic status to historical legacies, shedding light on the unique trajectories of these nations.Upon closer examination, the correct answer emerges 1, 4, and 5. This selection illuminates key distinctions between Haiti, Cuba, and their counterparts. Firstly, Haiti and Cuba are the poorest nations in the Caribbean, grappling with economic challenges exacerbated by external pressures such as embargoes and diplomatic complexities. Unlike their counterparts, who have experienced varying degrees of economic stability, Haiti and Cuba find themselves ensnared in a cycle of poverty and dependency. Secondly, the notion of granted freedoms versus taken freedoms emerges as a pivotal theme. While countries like Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados have navigated the complexities of post-colonial governance and attained a degree of political autonomy, Haiti and Cuba have a tumultuous history of fighting for their independence. Yet, despite their efforts to chart their own destinies, they remain ensnared in geopolitical struggles, their sovereignty undermined by external interventions.Thirdly, embargoes, shaky diplomacy, and international relations serve as formidable barriers to progress for Haiti and Cuba. Unlike their counterparts, who have forged diplomatic alliances and pursued avenues of economic growth, Haiti and Cuba find themselves marginalized on the global stage, grappling with the repercussions of contentious international policies. The crux of the matter lies in understanding the complexities of Caribbean thought and the diverse experiences of its constituent...Excerpt Ends.

These are pivotal times for President Joe Biden and the Democrats who must decide on whether to continue to have Joe Biden at the top of the Presidential ticket given his decline which was evident at the presidential debate last week Thursday, where he could not complete his answers/sentences, seeming oblivious at times, coughing with a cold and speaking slightly unintelligibly. Democrats and many on the left or left-leaning are urging him to get out of the race. Joe Biden has remained resolute accepting his failures at the debate but has not indicated that he would bow out, and stated that he is not going anywhere. Biden was also interviewed by the ABC team, days after the debate, hoping to repair the damage and to look presidential and able. Regardless, the interview on ABC did not do anything to quell the rising discontent. If anything, Biden appeared still suffering from a cold.
Host Renaldo C McKenzie and Co-Host Donte T Nelson discuss this and more on The Neoliberal Round Podcast.
The episode begins with two brief recordings, the first 2 minutes of the debate between the candidates. Then we share a brief recording of ABC reporters commenting on the interview that Biden did. After that, Renaldo mostly provides an in-depth analysis and commentary about whether Biden should step down and reports on the mood in the streets.

Where and with whom do we begin? In Part 2 of the #CaribbeanThought Summer 2024 Week 1 Lecture, Prof. Renaldo McKenzie at Jamaica Theological Seminary laid the foundation for the course. Prof. McKenzie reviewed the course outline and delved into some broad thinkers, texts, and general questions of the course. Rev. McKenzie begins the Lecture by making the point that, the realities of the dark ghettoes and or black and brown communities resemble the colonies and or former colonies within the caribbean. The socioeconomic realities of the black and brown peoples in the global north are similar to that of the black experience in the Caribbean which is largely made up of nations that are made of the predominantly black.
This course focuses on and explores the diverse currents of Caribbean Thought, which have influenced the development of Caribbean societies from colonialism toindependence and beyond. It traces the history of resistance and examines the quest for equality and the challenge of defining Caribbean identity within thispost-colonial and neoliberal Globalized world not just within the geographic sense but also in terms of a diasporic sense.
It challenges the students to develop and express their own critical thinking as a Caribbean people in a unique way that helps to realize further the hope of a free independent Caribbean that is bursting with hope andopportunity. However, the course understands that it requires that students begin to critique and explore their own thinking in a deeply esoteric and critical waythat deconstructs history and philosophy. At the end they will create their own Caribbean thought leading to a Caribbean Academic Journal of Young academicsand future scholars. The Course will make you estranged from self, but it is geared towards getting you out of your bubble and considering issues that willmake you uncomfortable.
Frantz Fanon, Homi Bhabha, C. L. R. James, Bob Marley et al, and Christianity/Religion, music and sports are currents we will explore.The episode has images of course resources; such as texts, maps, notable characters that will be referenced throughout the course, etc.The Lecture is very informative and provides an introductory level to the discussions in postcolonialism with academia and Pan African Thought.The Lecture is part of a course offered at Jamaica Theological Seminary and students seeking a 4-year degree at the seminary are required to sit the course. The course follows strict academic rigor and scrutiny. There is an exam at the end of the course. which students are required to sit.

We spoke with several individuals randomly. Some persons were unaware of the case and conviction, and others were shocked that he was convicted based on Trump's ability to win cases. Most of the respondents indicated that it did not change their opinions one way or the other. But several individuals questioned whether a convicted felon can run and serve as President of the US given the fact that convicted felons are not allowed to take certain positions.
The episode promises to be quite revealing and enlightening.

John Anthony Castro, a 2024 GOP U.S. Presidential Candidate who notably sued Donald Trump, has been found guilty on all 33 counts related to Federal Tax Fraud. Castro, a frequent guest on The NeoLiberal Round Podcast, had gained attention by suing Trump for violating Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. His legal challenges were discussed extensively on the podcast series “Castro v. Trump,” where he was a key contributor.
According to Erin Dooley at the Media Affairs Office at the Texas Department of Justice, in a press release stated that
Following a five-day bench trial before Senior U.S. District Judge Terry R Means, he was convicted on all 33 counts of assisting in the preparation of a fraudulent return and was immediately taken into custody” (Press Release by the DOJ on Friday May 24, 2024: https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndtx/pr/mansfield-tax-preparer-convicted-33-counts-tax-fraud-after-bench-trial).
Despite his high-profile legal battles, Castro’s lawsuits in multiple states were largely dismissed. In January, he filed an appeal in Florida against Judge Eileen Cannon’s decision to dismiss his case and sought her recusal from all cases involving Trump, citing bias. Concurrently, Castro faced his own legal troubles, being indicted on Federal Tax Fraud charges.
In January 2024, The NeoLiberal Round Podcast released an episode featuring Castro, where he vehemently denied any wrongdoing related to the indictment. He explained the errors leading to the charges and stated that he had taken steps to correct them. Castro expressed confidence in his ability to clear his name and reiterated his commitment to his presidential campaign.
On April 16, 2024, Castro provided an update, maintaining his innocence and preparing for his May 20th hearing. He indicated plans to testify and expressed a desire to step away from politics afterward. However, following the hearing, on May 20th, Castro was arrested and taken into custody.
The Texas State Department of Justice released details of the ruling, revealing that Castro, owner of the virtual tax preparation business Castro & Company, had falsely inflated client tax returns. Convicted on all 33 counts of assisting in the preparation of fraudulent returns, Castro now faces up to 99 years in federal prison, with each count carrying a potential three-year sentence... (McKenzie, Renaldo, https://theneoliberal.com/john-anthony-castro-found-guilty-on-all-33-counts-of-federal-tax-fraud/, in The Neoliberal Journals.
On this episode, I share the article, present an audio by John Castro on April 16th 2024 and introduce the episode with a discussion between myself and a guest contributor, Maurice Smith.

Martin Oppenheimer has a new book out. It is entitled "The Rise And Fall Of The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee," published in April 2024. The book is an expert analysis of SNCC's history from its inception to now. With a deep understanding of protest movements in America, and his work as a Sociologist and Professor at Rutgers, Penn, and Lincoln University over the years, and his research and works on the State of Modern Society, he was able to provide an erudite analysis, combining history with reality. Recently, there have been several student protests on university campuses against the Israel-Palestinian War and the US support, calling for a ceasefire. Nevertheless, these actions are not as organized as they were in the 1960s and beyond, where student movements were institutional, strategic, and coordinated. Oppenheimer's new book makes this case by presenting his arguments using historical and sociological analysis in a novel and powerful way. Martin will be featured in The Neoliberal Round Podcast with host Renaldo McKenzie, talking about his new book in an upcoming episode to be released by the end of May 2024. Here is the Preface of his new book available at Ingram Spark, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and The Neoliberal Corporation Store, store.theneoliberal.com.
The Preface:
We were among the dozens of German-Jewish refugee families from Nazi Germany who ended up becoming chicken farmers in semi-rural South Jersey during the War. A school bus took me to a Middle School for my eighth grade. One day around Easter time, I heard a shout directed at me: “Christ killer.” Yes, the old libel from the Middle Ages from my neighbors’ children while the war against the Nazi state was still underway. There were no Black people in the local town but one day the school bus stopped at a driveway leading to a large farm to pick up two Black kids maybe eight or nine years old. The white kids on the bus loudly erupted with the N word while the two Black kids hovered, frightened, in their seats. I got up and loudly over the noise said, “Why are you yelling at them, they’ve done nothing to you!” Some of the white kids then turned on me, calling me a “N-lover.” I had never heard that expression. I learned later in my college sociology class what I had done: I had “identified with the oppressed.” Sociology opened the door to learning more about both oppressors like the local kids on the bus and what they represented on a larger scale, and the oppressed, like the new kids and the millions who looked like them. I joined my University’s National Association for the Advancement of Colored People club. In 1953, I was drafted into the tail-end of the Korean war and spent nine months stationed in Alabama. If you had eyes, you could see in the neighboring towns the realities of full-scale racial segregation, though as a Northern white soldier you should, for your safety, ignore it. A few years later, just as I was searching for a Ph.D. dissertation topic within the broad field of what was not yet called African-American studies, it dropped into my lap: The Sit-In Movement of “Negro” (not yet Black) students in the South had just begun.
The Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s....

What's learning and education like in Haiti, given the socio-political upheavals in Haiti over the years and especially over the last few months when Haiti had declared a state of emergency? The NeoLiberal Round Host and Creator, Prof. Renaldo McKenzie, sat down for a live interview with the team at Lakou Kajou and Blue Butterfly (bbutterfly.org) to talk about their project/program to create and provide digital learning by Haitians for Haitians. The Interview features: Suzanne Cole, Co-Chief Executive Officer/Dir of Operations at https://bbutterfly.org, (in Philadelphia USA)
Bessy Pade, Educational Consultant at Lakou Kajou (who was joining from France),
and Jovanie Marie-Aure Judilius, Lakou Kajou Coordinator in Haiti (who was joining from Port Au Prince, Haiti).

The relationship between theology and culture is a complex and multifaceted one, with scholars and practitioners offering differing perspectives on whether theology should transcend culture or be deeply embedded within it (Transcendence Vs the Immanence of God and theology). To address this question, it is essential to define theology and culture and explore their interplay in both historical and contemporary contexts.Theology, at its core, is the study of the divine, religious beliefs, and the nature of the divine being or beings. It encompasses doctrines, rituals, ethics, and interpretations of sacred texts within various religious traditions. Culture, on the other hand, refers to the shared beliefs, values, customs, and practices of a particular group of people, often shaped by factors such as history, geography, language, and social structures.Throughout history, theology and culture have been intertwined, influencing and shaping each other in profound ways. Religious beliefs and practices are often deeply embedded within cultural contexts, reflecting the values, norms, and traditions of a society. Conversely, theology has also played a role in shaping culture, providing frameworks for understanding the world, guiding ethical behavior, and fostering community cohesion.However, the question of whether theology should transcend culture raises important considerations regarding the universality of religious truth claims and the diversity of human experiences and perspectives. Proponents of the transcendence of theology argue that religious truths are universal and transcendent, applicable to all people regardless of cultural context. They posit that theology should provide timeless principles and moral guidance that are not bound by cultural limitations.On the other hand, advocates for the embeddedness of theology within culture emphasize the importance of contextualization and cultural relevance in religious practice and interpretation. They argue that theology must be understood and expressed within the cultural frameworks of particular communities, taking into account their unique histories, languages, and worldviews. This approach acknowledges the diversity of human experiences and the dynamic nature of culture, allowing theology to evolve and adapt to changing social contexts.Furthermore, the transcendence of theology over culture can lead to the imposition of dominant cultural norms and values onto marginalized communities, perpetuating systems of power and inequality. Embracing cultural diversity within theology fosters inclusivity, allowing for the voices and perspectives of marginalized groups to be heard and valued within religious discourse.In conclusion, the relationship between theology and culture is a dynamic and complex one, with both perspectives offering valuable insights into the nature of religious belief and practice. While some argue for the transcendence of theology over culture, emphasizing universal truths and principles, others advocate for the embeddedness of theology within culture, acknowledging the diversity of human experiences and the importance of cultural context. Ultimately, the challenge lies in finding a balance between these perspectives, recognizing the universality of religious truths while respecting the diversity of cultural expressions and interpretations.Written and Presented by Rev.

To: President Joe Biden, on your recent message on March 7th, 2024, commemorating the Holocaust.
Dear, Mr. President,Comparing the Holocaust to what happened on October 7th, 2023, when Hamas bombed parts of the Gaza, which Jews occupied, was a pseudo-appeal to association. Nevertheless, what happened to the Jews, must never happen to anyone.
Remembering the Holocaust should not just be about Jews, but also about the inhumanity of humans that would cause Hitler to create concentration camps to gas and torture millions of Jews as a way of racial cleansing to create a pure race that is Arian. Racism, colonialism, extremism, ethnic cleansing, and discrimination, still exist in the world today: From Russia's invasion of Ukraine to China's threats of war to re-control Taiwan. Similarly, Palestinians have had to deal with Israel's aggression and domination over the years, who have also objected and rejected the Palestinian state. To many Palestinians, Israel today has created a holocaust experience killing thousands in response to what Israel says is a response to Hamas' recent bombing. However, Israel's response has been magnanimous, as they brace to invade Raffah where many refugees and civilians On October 7, 2023, Hams bombed parts of the Israel-occupied section of #gaza in response to what many Palestinians feel justified about as they fight for independence and nationhood. Israel today is a far more powerful country, with friends such as the US, UK, Canada, and many other post-industrial nations. Mr. Biden to compare October 7, 2023, with the Holocaust, when millions of Palestinians today are under siege by Israel trying to root out Hamas terrorists, was inappropriate and a "question-begging epithet". I discuss this some more on The Neoliberal Round podcast and YouTube channel, plus explore the question of, "how can we reconcile "freedom of expression" and "speech" with "hate speech"? And, "can we legislate on hate and love"? Sincerely,Rev. Renaldo C.

The NeoLiberal - In the complex and fraught arena of conflict, the dynamics between predator and prey often mirror those seen in the natural world. When attacked and cornered, the instinctive responses of fright, flight,or fight come to the fore. This fundamental survival mechanism, ingrained in both humans and animals, shapes the course of conflicts and wars.
On October 7th, 2023, the world witnessed a tragicescalation of violence as Hamas launched a deadly attack on Israel, resulting in the loss of hundreds of Israeli lives. Hamas justified this action as resistance to occupation and years of provocations. In response, Israelretaliated with overwhelming force, resulting in the deaths of thousands and the displacement of millions. However, the roots of the Israel-Palestine conflict run much deeper than this recent escalation....

We hope to sit down with him later to finish the episode where we plan to do a full hour of interview talking about his music and life and exploring this new music and playing some of his songs. This episode is a short episode with Shawa live and raw. He was passionate and interesting as he talked about Afro-Caribbean music and people. Shawa is also an Israelite Priest with the African Israelites. We did not delve too much into his faith or religion. We hope to explore this later on another episode. We added background music and sounds from Shawa's original music and videos to the episode which features Shawa himself.
Note: Please excuse the background sounds or noise as this take was done outdoors with limited control of the external noise. However, the disturbances are faint and should not interfere with the audio by the participants.

The question may arise, as it relates to the course and what we are contending for, why are we focussed on Haiti? Every time I teach the course the focus is different, yet the conclusions are almost identical. This semester focuses on Haiti, as a case study when studying the Caribbean position in the world today and the currents that have led to its invention as we contend for a reinvented Caribbean in the 21st century. The Lecture begins by analyzing the course and why we are focussing on Haiti by highlighting the idea behind the textbook which is a case study about Jamaica speaking about the Caribbean and global south experience in a post-colonial post-independent world. The Professor uses this to support the ways we are approaching the course. Much like the film Life and Debt a documentary film about Jamaica's socio-political-economic history based on a book about Antigua entitled "A Small Place". The Professor makes the point how each Caribbean experience from colonization to independence and to now has followed similar paths in relation to their position in the world and the international strategies that have come to formulate the Caribbean as an invention.Rev. Renaldo surveys Caribbean economic history drawing on several theorists from the Caribbean and the post-colonial such as Ramesh Ramsarwan, Rex Nettleford, Nelson and Nelson, C.L. R. James, Walter Rodney, and his own work, Neoliberalism book 1. The Lecture also featured a special guest Lecturer, Fr. Hyvenson Josephs, a Haitian American originally from Haiti who is an episcopal Priest living in Florida. He provided the latest update on Haiti indicating that Haitians are demanding a Haitian-led solution that follows the constitution of Haiti. However, Dr. Henry is exiled but remains as the Installed PM by the foreign gang of four - US, Germany, France, and Canada. Further, it was revealed that Canada is training a small group of Jamaican military to go to Haiti to help with security. The Lecture was powerful and ended with Rev. Renaldo McKenzie reviewing an article for the Jamaica Gleaner on the importance of exploring Attitudes Toward Afro-Caribbean Beliefs and Traditions and problematizing the immigration issue. The Class was done via the Zoom platform for the course, Caribbean Thought involving several students registered for the course at Jamaica Theological Seminary, https://jts.edu.jm.The Lecture was edited and produced by The NeoLiberal Corporation for programming at The NeoLiberal Round Youtube Channel and The NeoLiberal Round Podcast.

We did a unique study, polling black and brown people's support for Trump or Biden in New York City, particularly Harlem, Manhattan to ascertain how the black and brown population would vote if the elections were called today. This is part 2 of a series in response to a video clip on Twitter showing how blacks in Chicago are supporting Trump. We at The NeoLiberal Round decided to conduct a study via the podcast where we ask black and brown people at random who they are voting for and whether they are Republicans or Democrats and also their socio-economic status (financially stable or not), plus other demographical questions such as age, heritage - Caribbean, Latin America or African American with little to no connections to any foreign heritage, etc. The interviews comprised over 25 individuals from various age groups and political affiliations. We aired the interviews of the individuals who agreed to be interviewed on the show for the broadcast. The episode also contains an in-depth analysis of the interviews with the respondents. It wraps up at the end with a summary of the findings and the interviews which included a comparison of Philly black voters against NYC Black Voters. The findings will be published in The NeoLiberal Journals and The NeoLiberal Post at The NeoLiberal CorporationThe episode is a compilation of the various video interviews we conducted between March 10th and March 30th in NYC on location at 125th and Morningside and other locations in Harlem. The episode starts with a clip excerpt of the respondents and the host on several takes mashed together for a sensational and epic blend which then segways into the introduction by the Host of the individual short interviews. This episode has over 10 respondents on short clips between 28 seconds and 4 minutes. Summary Points:1. Many people who are Democrats say that they are voting for Trump, but the Republicans we spoke to indicated that they are voting for or supporting Biden.2. Four/Five years ago, when Trump ran against Biden, many if not most New Yorkers in NYC, who may have been supporting or thinking about voting for Trump, would not bravely share or discuss this with anyone; for their safety and sanity. Today, that is not the case, as is evident in the episode, since many publicly, boldly, and bravely discussed some in groups with other onlookers around and others spoke so loudly as if they were delivering a gospel message at an outdoor church service.How does the Support differ?3. College-educated, Versus the non-college4. Financially stable Vis-a-vis those struggling economically and getting by on odd jobs or low wages5. Caribbean/West Indians6. Latin and Hispanic Americans6. Abortion, Conservative Values7. White Americans who are politically entrenched8. Younger people versus Older peoples9. Verbalizing support versus actually going out to vote on election day.This episode was created, written, filmed, edited, and produced by Renaldo McKenzie, the President of The NeoLiberal Corporation, Doctoral Candidate at Georgetown Univ, and Author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance.The NeoLiberal Round Podcast & Youtube Channel are brought to you by The NeoLiberal Corporation/Renaldo McKenzie, serving the world today to solve tomorrow's challenges by making popular what was the monopoly.

This is the second part of a 3-hour Lecture, featuring Fr. Hyvenson Josephs updating the Caribbean Thought class at Jamaica Theological Seminary regarding the latest in #haiti as we explore Post-Independent #caribbean today and the challenge for #democracy: We learned that:1. The gangs have taken over the country including the National Library and Museum stealing art pieces worth millions. 2. Dr. Ariel Henry is still exiled in #puertorico but refuses to resign until his idea for a presidential college is implemented, as the #haitian constitution is rebuffed by the actions of a foreign core group pulling Haiti's strings.3. Haitians continue to call for a #haitian-led solution 4. while #canada, one of the core group of post-industrial countries that controls Haiti trains #jamaican military to go to #haiti ignoring #caricom's charter promoting Caribbean Unity and Independence as it safeguards Caribbean Sovereignty.5. The gangs feel justified in their takeover highlighting the external gangs that control Haiti today which is unconstitutional. The full Lecture will be available on Sunday April 7, 2024, on The NeoLiberal Round Podcast on any podcast stream.Visit us at https://theneoliberal.com and https://anchor.fm/theneoliberalSupport us at https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/support.

In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, the traditional framework for children's psycho-social development is being eroded. The slow, deliberate exposure to stimuli that once characterized childhood has been replaced by a world where social media reigns supreme, parental guidance is often lacking, and tolerance for potentially harmful behaviors such as marijuana use is on the rise.Gone are the days when children could navigate the complexities of social interaction at their own pace, guided by parental wisdom and faith-based values. Instead, they find themselves thrust into an environment where reality TV and pop culture glorify superficiality over substance, leaving them ill-equipped to engage meaningfully with others.The consequences of this societal shift are dire. We are witnessing a disturbing uptick in senseless killings, suicides, and mental health crises among our youngest citizens. The correlation between these tragedies and the increasing prevalence of drug use, particularly marijuana, cannot be ignored. As the age at which children are exposed to these substances continues to plummet, so too does their likelihood of experiencing long-term effects on brain development, personality, and mental well-being....

Recently, I published an article in The NeoLiberal Journals exploring the immigration problem concerning the context of a competitive world where the few continue their dominance and advantages at the expense of post-industrial nations still navigating their new independence which has left them dependent and even poorer or more vulnerable. This episode presents the article and provides some more commentary on the issue delving into the realities that many pundits and analysts have not included when addressing the immigration crisis, especially at the border today which continues to be a political issue that has helped to thwart any real solution to the problem. The article is available for reading in #theneoliberalcorporation journals at https://theneoliberal.com/the-neoliberal-journals at theneoliberal.com.The article was written by Renaldo McKenzie, author of Neoliberalism books 1 and 2 an Adjunct Professor at Jamaica Theological Seminary, Doctoral Candidate and a Faculty Student Advisor at Georgetown University Temple University, and a graduate University of Penn. Renaldo studied #philosophy at the University of the West Indies and was ordained by the United Church in Jamaica and The Cayman Islands.Renaldo is President of The NeoLiberal Corporation, a Think Tank, Digital Media, Publishing, Research, IT and Web Design company.

In this first episode series exploring the black and brown support for #trump or #biden, #trumpvsbiden, The NeoLiberal Round and The NeoLiberal Corporation took to the streets in the hood of Philly to gauze support in response to another show indicating support growing among blacks in #chicago. We wanted to know if this was the same thing in other black and brown communities and decided to create a podcast series to do just that on The NeoLiberal Round Podcast. We interviewed over 10 people at random, in #philadelphia, some in groups and some individually. The responses were mixed but quite revealing as we found that blacks in #philly were supporting Trump but not all. We delve deep into exploring support for Trump or Biden. We found that most men who are unstable or younger men who lack money and limited exposure to the news, are supporting Trump, while those who are already politically connected are supporting Biden Further, we found that while many are supporting Trump, these same individuals are not actually going out to vote as we asked if they will actually go out to vote on elections day. Many said no but still support Trump. We spoke with only 2 - 3 women, one was very sympathetic towards Trump and would support him, but will not vote. The other is anti-Trump given the issue of abortion rights. Educated and middle-aged men who are college educated and working a stable job seem to be supporting Biden and will vote, and those who are concerned with losing their social services. The interviews were done among several people over several days between March 1 and March 31, 2024. The interviews were raw and done at random within homes on the fly for quick and immediate replies. The video contains strong language nd smoking.The episode was intense, powerful, and compact with strong opinions from the various groups. It was also funny, deep, and yes academic and political since we conducted anthropological research about political issues. Part 2 will be released tomorrow April 2, 2024, at Midnight and will feature residents from #newyorkcity The episode is available in video via YouTube by The NeoLiberal Round Channel, and via Spotify via #theneoliberalround #podcast.The video will also be available in audio Podcast on any podcast stream.

This is a continuation of a Lecture we released for the Podcast and YouTube Channel yesterday. This is part 2 of Caribbean Thought Lecture 9, entitled, Should Theology Transcend Culture? Exploring Attitudes Towards Afro-Caribbean Beliefs and Traditions in Jamaica and the Caribbean and its diaspora. We picked up from where we left off. Part 1 is available on #TheNeoliberalRound Podcast and discusses the following:
-
Should Theology Transcend Culture?
-
Is the #haitian treaty with #kenya legal and binding?
-
What opportunities does #artificialintelligence provide for the #caribbean?
3b. And what are the challenges?
CaribbeanThought Lecture 9 at Jamaica Theological Seminary. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4gDQANFiM8yBvqfcvSd1x8?si=d___uUIkSGW5ga-CyhIUuA on Spotify or any stream.
Part 2, is a debate between the professor and some students about Afro-Caribbean Beliefs and whether or not the Jamaican government should legalize the practice of Obeah which is an Afro-Caribbean tradition utilized in some religions such as the Revivalists. Voodoo is a version of Obeah and was never meant to harm but to draw on the power of ancestors to fight the Europeans who were opposed to Obeah and other Afro-Caribbean traditions of the slaves. The British like the French outlawed many African traditions including Obeah. We discussed this highly divisive contentious issue in part 2 of the lecture which was done in one sitting but we split it up in two as the Lecture was over 3 1/2 hours. we have had previous lectures on the subject which can be accessed via The Neoliberal Round Channel Playlists: Caribbean Thought Lecture Series.

Leadership in Peril: The Weight of Words in the Shadows of History.#leaders must be careful when they speak. It is unacceptable and inexcusable for #donaldtrump to say there's gonna be a #bloodbath even if he were referring to the socio-economic ramifications of voting for #joebiden . #trump's speeches may have led to #January6th, so he must "toe the line" as some of his #maga supporters in the GOP with extremists bent may misrepresent his statements for a call to repeat #January6thInsurrection. We must learn from #history, but clearly, we have not. Yet, we have systems in place to prevent a #bloodbath, The US Justice Department is not working, as the system such as #ussupremecourt in place driven by #humancondition is now making excuses as to why they can't prevent another one JANUARY 6TH or to implement and execute #laws that limit the actions of those who may want to do so...again.....

In a rare interview with my twin brother Ricardo Mckenzie, I sat down to discuss his work in supporting The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's efforts to cure blood cancers and assist those affected by the disease. On a Sunday afternoon in Long Branch New Jersey, Ricardo passionately and delicately shares his plans to raise between 25k - 50k by May 2024 as part of a team working together on individual initiatives to reach a united goal that will be donated to the LLS society. Ricardo in particular shares his upcoming Tennis Charity event sponsored in part by his company, FlatRate Moving, where he is a Vice President and Relocation Consultant, aimed at raising awareness about the LLS and funds towards his drive. The Tennis charity event will be held on April 12, 2024 at Little Silver Tennis Club from 9pm to 2am.

Question: Is it fair for China to limit American Social Media such as Twitter and Facebook, while TikTok is thriving in the US, taking over the social media market in the US? When one understands Congress's decision to pass a bipartisan bill to ban TikTok, it was at first based on flimsy arguments about China using the platform to influence American voters, which seemed convoluted at best as most voting Americans are not on TikTok, and many Americans use TikTok to promote and grow their brands and businesses. Moreover, there is nothing that's stopping China and Russia from using any platform through AI technology to promote fake messages that may influence the electorate. All those arguments provided by Congress why we should ban pales in comparison to the fierce competition for dominance between the US and China. #tiktokban #bantiktok On this episode of The NeoLiberal Round Podcast, we present a news article editorial/ commentary that was published in The NeoLiberal Post at renaldocmckenzie.com, and The NeoLiberal Corporation Moral Magazine, The NeoLiberal Journals at https://theneoliberal.com. This is the audio and video presentation of the article which includes additional arguments and commentaries that are not included in the original essay. The article opens like this: "In today’s competitive world, the global stage is fraught with political and economic competition, and one of the key players in this arena is TikTok, an imported good from China. The rise of TikTok in the US market has sparked debates surrounding its impact on American social media platforms and the need to protect national interests. China’s strict control over social media within its borders contrasts sharply with the thriving presence of TikTok in the US. This dichotomy raises concerns about the asymmetrical nature of the relationship, where American platforms like X and Facebook are banned in China while TikTok enjoys unhindered access to the US market. The ban on TikTok in the US, while seen by some as a violation of #FreedomOfSpeech or #FreedomOfExpression, can also be viewed as a safeguarding measure to protect American interests. By restricting TikTok, the US aims to counterbalance China’s control over its media and prevent potential interference in American affairs," (McKenzie, Renaldo, C. https://theneoliberal.com/understanding-the-tiktok-ban-safeguarding-american-interests-in-a-competitive-world/).

Published in The NeoLiberal Journals: As we delve into the dynamics of political support in Philadelphia’s black community, a pertinent question arises: Is there a growing base of support for Trump among black voters in the city, or is it confined to a subset concerned primarily about financial matters? This query navigates through complex layers of political allegiance and socioeconomic considerations.While some individuals within the black community express support for Trump, notably driven by financial concerns, a significant portion of them indicate a reluctance to cast their ballots in his favor. Conversely, another segment comprising educated blacks, considered relatively stable, demonstrates a tendency to participate in the electoral process while refraining from supporting Trump.The challenge for pollsters lies in deciphering the true extent of Trump’s support vis-a-vis actual election day outcomes. The discrepancy between vocal support and tangible voting behavior presents a puzzle that requires nuanced interpretation... Watch the news commentary report on #trumpvsbiden exploring black supporters and detractors in Philadelphia on The NeoLiberal Round Channel, preface to the upcoming series on what philadelphians are saying bout Trump.Read it in The NeoLiberal Corporation Journals at theneoliberal.com The NeoLiberal Corporation is a think tank, dynamic news media, publishing, IT, research and education company providing solutions aimed at serving the world today to solve tomorrow’s challenges by making popular what was the monopoly!Subscribe to any stream for free.

caribbean and #postindependent countries and #blackcelebrities and peoples should not allow the privilege to use hashtag#traveladvisories and #ad deals, such as #sneaker deals that @NBA players have with Nike, to take away their freedoms and independence. Travel Advisory as Tool to Control: US Slapped #Travel Advisory on Jamaica -#theneoliberalcorporation That is why our hashtag#wealth has to be organic and not hinged on the external or those who continue to use such tools to weaponize themselves against any competition from the historically poor. The US State Dept issuance of a hashtag#traveladvisory on the island of hashtag#Jamaica is a strategic move by the US to limit the rising competition and to control the island as Jamaica is not unstable and has been gaining while lowering hashtag#crimeandviolence. Cities in the US is dealing with mass shootings and rising crime and violence while Jamaica's Jamaica's murder rate has cut in half when compared to last year. Yet the US used this calm moment to issue a travel advisory against Jamaica citing rising homicides when this is not widespread and limited to certain inner-cities like that of Philadelphia and Chicago yet there is no travel advisory not to travel to Philadelphia. However, the US does not like to be outshined by poorer peoples and countries. So they have sought to slap a punitive action against Jamaica to continue to enslave the peoples into doing its bidding or to limit the competition. Every country has the right to advise its citizens, but it must be reasonable and fair. Moreover, smaller countries should not allow themselves to be bullied by bigger countries using such tactics to control. That is why hashtag#caribbean unity and integration is pivotal and Black and Brown and working-class people must remain supportive and together. Americans must not allow our government to continue these dictatorial and unfair tactics of the Caribbean and black countries.This was published in The NeoLiberal Post at The NeoLiberal Corporation. https://renaldocmckenzie.com Subscribe for free on any stream.

Question: Given the chaos in Haiti, is a Haitian-Led Solution Possible? If it is, will it succeed? Recently, Renaldo McKenzie, Creator and Host of The NeoLiberal Round Podcast and YouTube Channel, and Senior Editor of The NeoLiberal Journals interviewed Fr. Hyvenson Josephs, a Haitian American, scholar, Episcopal Priest and Professor to discuss the latest situation in Haiti. The interview was revealing and breaking providing commentary and new details about the situation in Haiti.
-
Dr. Ariel Henry is now in Puerto Rico after being denied entry into the Dominica Republic enroute to Haiti. Dr. Ariel the Installed Prime Minister of Haiti, who is currently exile from the country, was in Nairobi Kenya signing a Treaty to allow for bilateral relations between the two countries. The treaty was needed to satisfy Kenya’s courts over ruling and objecting to the request for Kenya to send a peace keeping force to Haiti. The treaty was signed and as such would provide the greenlight allowing Kenya to send the force. However, it is not clear as to whether the treaty was legal and constitutional as Dr. Ariel Henry’s authority to sign such a treaty violates Haitian law and constitution since he was installed and not elected and not the President of Haiti. Moreover, Dr. Ariel Henry was asked not to return to Haiti by the gangs and the police who are closely monitoring the ports of entry for Henry’s arrival. It is interesting to point out that the police and gangs are not working together, yet, they both have taken over the airports and oppose to the return of Dr. Henry.
-
Dr. Ariel Henry was asked to step down by the US Department of State and is set to travel to Jamaica where he will announce his resignation. What is perplexing is that while in power, Ariel was unpopular among majority of the Haitian peoples who have asked him to step down. yet he held onto power for a long time since his installment by the gang of 4 including France, Canada, US, and to a lesser degree UK and Brazil. It was not until foreigners asked him to resign that he relented, but refused the protestations of his own people. This suggests that even Ariel rejected Haiti’s own independence, sovereignty and democracy, appealing to the external rather than the internal.
-
CARICOM heads are meeting with a select group of Haitian ministers to discuss a way forward.
-
Haiti is still in a State-of-Emergency as over 98 % of prisoners, from three of the major prisons representing over 80% of all prisoners, remain at large with no solution in sight. It is not clear if the criminals will make their way to other countries given the millions of migrants who are crossing various borders in the Americas today.
Question: given the chaos, is a Haitian-led solution possible and if it is will it succeed?

(Full Episode) Breaking News and Update on the Haitian Crisis: We interviewed Fr. Hyvenson Josephs, an Episcopalian Priest, Professor and Haitian American, on the situation in Haiti. The dialogue was quite revealing going deeper into the crisis and providing updates and clarification on the news surrounding the #prisonbreak and #arielhenry exile and some recent developments on the Gangs and the Police taking over the airports to prevent the Installed Prime Minister Dr. Ariel Henri returning to the island. Moreover, Fr. Joseph corrected earlier reports that 80 % of prisoners had escaped; indicating that 98 % of the prisoners escaped from three of the largest state prisons with criminals on death row and or those charged with the assassination of the then PM Jovenelle Moise in 2023.Furthermore, Fr. Hyvenson reported that the country is still in a state of emergency which we thought may be termed chaos; as the PM is now in Puerto Rico after being denied entry into DR. He was then asked by the US Department of State to step down which he plans to do when he travels to Jamaica where he is hoping to get the protection of the Jamaicans.In the meantime, Fr. Josephs reports that CARICOM is meeting with a select committee of Haitian Ministers to discuss a way forward.The prisoners remain at large with no plans to recapture them, while the police and the chief relationship sour over accusations of collusion with the gangs. The gangs had boldly announced that they were going to free the prisoners which they did.

BREAKING NEWS: The United States Supreme Court has made a groundbreaking decision, overturning Colorado’s lower court's ruling that barred former President Donald Trump from appearing on the ballot in Colorado. However, this decision diverges from a strict interpretation of the law, as it hinges on subjective interpretations rather than adhering strictly to legal precedent. The justices opted for an approach that emphasizes inferred implications rather than a direct measure of the law, setting a precedent that is both unprecedented and ominous in its potential ramifications.The US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Colorado’s lower court’s ruling to bar Trump from the ballot was based, in my estimation, on the implication of the law and not the spirit or measure of the law and constitution. This therefore sets a precedence imbuing the justices with the powers to challenge the Constitution by asserting their subjective opinions on the implications of following the spirit of the laws. Now let us see what their decision means for our lives going forward. In effect, that is what pertains from their finality on whether Trump violates the Constitution and deserves to run again. It opens the door for opportunists who may want to repeat January 6. While the courts kicked the matter to the politicians, it is important to point out that politicians are never best at making laws about themselves that limit their powers and while we wait for that to happen a repeat offender has the green light to do so again following their decision.Furthermore, what about state's rights and individual's rights? we are quick to appeal to states rights but now we are limiting states rights?According to reports from the Associated Press, the Supreme Court's decision marks a turning point in the ongoing debate over Trump's role in the 2024 presidential primaries. Rejecting efforts by several states to exclude Trump from the ballot due to his involvement in the Capitol riot, the Court emphasized that the authority to regulate presidential candidates lies within the purview of Congress, rather than individual states.This case represents a pivotal moment in constitutional interpretation, as it grapples with the implications of the 14th Amendment's post-Civil War provisions. Specifically, the Court's ruling addresses the amendment's intent to disqualify individuals who have "engaged in insurrection" from holding public office again.This article first appeared in The NeoLiberal Journals and The Neoliberal Post at https://theneoliberal.com and https://renaldocmckenzie.com.

In this Excerpt of Lecture 7, the students reflect on their experience and findings of a selected Caribbean Nation. Some of the students, if not all seem to suggest that many Caribbean people carry a grudge against Jamaicans as that was their experience when visiting there. The students discussed why this was so and highlighted how Jamaica had pulled out of the West Indian Federation in the 1950s and that in many islands such as Trinidad, Jamaicans are seen as hard-working and getting most of the profits.

A Wendy Williams Special News Report: Exploring The Role of Family in Human & Social Welfare Versus Wells Fargo's decision to appoint an independent family member with the court's blessings. In light of the Wendy Williams docu-series, one must ask a serious question about the professionalism of banks making CYS recommendations involving human andsocial welfare to the courts about care and guardianship of individuals when such recommendations need specialists trained and licensed to make that recommendation and decision. IT SHOULD BE HUMAN AND SOCIAL WELFARE WORKERS MAKING SUCH RECOMMENDATIONS to the courts. Furthermore, the CARE should includeand involve FAMILIES. That has been the modus operandi of human and social services for decades, so what has changed, and what is going on?
Recently, it was revealed that Wendy Williams'sbank accounts were frozen and she was appointed an Independent Guardian to provide care and administer Wendy’s affairs and life while her family was shut out,only to watch on the sidelines; orchestrated by Wells Fargo Bank acting as CYS Social Work Professionals making recommendation to the courts of this country who actedon that said recommendation without appropriating family statutes law and care that was best practice.
Child, youth, and family services aregeared towards keeping families together in a safe environment with minimal safety risks and hazards, especially when this involves children. Programs suchas FGDM are utilized today to identify next-of-kin or family/community in place of state and punitive services to treat and keep the family together. WellsFargo's decision to get the courts to strip the family from providing care and guardianship of Wendy Williams at a time when she needs family is a draconian solution that has only exacerbated Wendy's problems. There is child care but also adolescent and adult care whereby agencies respond to the children's and entire families’ needs to help the adult become an able members of the communityto serve themselves. Community and family. There are systems in place, but it seems as if in Wendy’s case the established system was not used.
Furthermore, it shows how the system and the private sectors work against already established best practices in human and social services in caring for the family. Banks and financial sectors should never make decisions about family care. The banks should have alerted the relevant care providers or make a recommendation. If anything the courts should have thrown out the case as the banks lack precedence and jurisdiction to make such a determination given their lack of training in this regard. Further,the courts should have never sided with the banks to block the family from planning and providing care for Wendy. This suggests collusion and corruption and is astep backward. Moreover, the HHS has been promoting family care in their assisted living programs and services, so the fact that the family is now involved in care to not disrupt the family connections which is pivotal to adult and CYS care and empowerment of individuals in the community.
The docuseries, although hard to watch and said to be exploiting Wendy, was necessary as it revealed a truth about how the courts and banks work to shut out families from their family members' care against what CYS professionals promote. I hope that this will provide openness to discussing care and how banks must never get involved in such decisions. It also puts We...

The Lecture this week was multifaceted and covered a wide: Exploring The islands of The Caribbean and The Limitations of Garveyism, Black Nationationasm and NeoLiberal Globalization. The Lecture delivered by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie, Author of NeoLiberal Globalization Reconsidered, Adjunct Professor in Caribbean Thought at Jamaica Theological Seminary.The class was very interactive and engaging as the students provided a report describing the Caribbean Islands. However, the class reviewed last week's Lecture entitled: The Paradox of Sovereignty: Cuba and Haiti's Struggle for Freedom and the Challenge of Development (Chapter Excerpt). We answered the Brain Teaser Quiz and delved deeper into what the activity revealed or was driving home. Brain Teaser: QuizWhat do Haiti and Cuba not have in common with D.R., Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados? 1. Poorest in the world2. Black and brown peoples3. Granted freedoms4. Taken Freedoms5. Embargoes and shaky diplomacy and international relations6. Debt, dependency and non-competitiveness7. Formerly colonizedOptions:A. 2, 5, 6 and 7B. 1, 4 and 5C. 1 only 3D. 3 and 4E. 1, 3, and 4F. All of the aboveThe Answer Reveals A Complex Tapestry of Independence and Adversity. With its vibrant cultures, rich histories, and diverse peoples, the Caribbean region has long been a subject of fascination and study.A Deeper Look: Taken Freedoms and Nationalist Independence Leads to Mixed Results. In the mosaic of the Caribbean, two nations, Cuba and Haiti, stand out not only for their vibrant cultures and tumultuous histories but also for the unique paths they traversed in their quests for freedom and independence. While their counterparts, including the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados, attained their freedoms through colonial concessions, Cuba and Haiti defiantly seized their destinies, forging independent nations amid the crucible of revolution and resistance. However, the seemingly noble act of self-liberation has been fraught with profound challenges, perpetuating a paradox wherein the pursuit of sovereignty has engendered poverty, instability, and diplomatic isolation on the world stage. Cuba and Haiti's decision to take their freedoms into their own hands, eschewing the shackles of colonial rule, is emblematic of their fierce determination to chart autonomous development trajectories. Haiti's groundbreaking revolution in 1804 shattered the chains of slavery, establishing the world's first black republic and inspiring oppressed peoples globally to aspire for liberation. Similarly, Cuba's revolutionary struggle in the 20th century, culminating in Fidel Castro's ascent to power in 1959, heralded a new era of socialist governance and national sovereignty. However, the euphoria of liberation soon collided with the harsh realities of post-colonial existence as both nations grappled with....

The NeoLiberal Journals - Martin Oppenheimer asked me why we were going with The Neoliberal Corporation as a company name. "Is that good optics? I thought you were against #neoliberalcorporations?"This provided an opportunity to discuss the idea behind the name; The NeoLiberal Corporation is bold. It provides a new idea of freedoms free of privileges and strategies that continue class and categories in societies. It's a think tank, that uses the name Neoliberal to invite conversations and critical thinking on society. So, it's a novel name that is a play-up on words (pun) which suggests the irony of it. Neoliberal Corporations are the opposite of what they should be.The NeoLiberal Corporation embrace the true ideals of a free world. A world that portends to the ultimate of all things. For what is the ultimate of all things? The ultimate of all things is that we live together as one in all of our individualities and varying realities devoid of privilege. A man said once you label me you negate me. We live in a world of categories that divide and put people against each other. That is the death of humanity upending years of progress.What is the ultimate of all things? That we become one with reality and with humanity in all of our individuality. A man said, “Once you label me, you negate me” (Kierkegaard). Indeed, the culture of categories, groups, and labels minimizes, mitigates, and or manages change. (What is the “Ultimate” of All Things?

In Lecture 6 at the Jamaica Theological Seminary, we continue to explore Caribbean History but as part of the American American experience and the Pan-African experience. We picked up from Lecture 5 sharing a voice-over lecture where Renaldo interact and narrates a material about Caribbean History and DNA. The Lecture then explored the comparative differences between the Caribbean islands and began to discuss the independence and freedoms of black peoples in the Caribbean and the diaspora as an experience that connects the post-colonial peoples in the new world. We utilized a video which features C.L.R James a West Indian mind that has contributed to critical history of the Caribbean and the Haitian Revolution. We touched on Latin Caribbean and the Cuban Revolution, and the civil rights leaders connections to the Caribbean and their experience. The class continues next week. The end is just the beginning.

This culminates the Lecture exploring the changing attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean Beliefs at Jamaica Theological Seminary on July 23, 2023. Renaldo provided a powerful climax to the lecture exploring Caribbean Theology and the need to value Caribbean traditions of any influence. The Lecture delivered via the Zoom platform was dynamic and is infused with African drums, reggae music, and classical music in the backgrounds with added images and videos in the background to enhance your listening/viewing experience. Prof. McKenzie discusses with his class the importance and parameters of the study that is being conducted.Abstract:Research Plan: On Valuing African Identity through religious affirmations of African traditions. By examining changing attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean beliefs in Jamaica, this study aims to shed light on the impact of socio-political factors, religion, education, pop culture, travel experiences, and exposure on the evolving perceptions of Jamaicans. The findings will contribute to a deeper understanding of how societal changes influence cultural attitudes, promoting inclusivity, tolerance, and cultural heritage preservation. Ultimately, this research aims to encourage a more informed and respectful dialogue surrounding Afro-Caribbean beliefs in Jamaican society. Note: See attachment for Research Rationale in a proposal document.Introduction:Title: Exploring Changing Attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean Beliefs in Jamaica: A Study of Socio-Political, Religious, and Cultural Influences Introduction In Jamaica, there has historically been a negative perception towards African and indigenous spiritual practices, religious beliefs, customs, and faiths that draw influences from Urban Indian Heritage or African traditions. Rastafarianism, Obeah, Voodoo, Pocomania or pocco church, revivalists, and Muslim beliefs have often been marginalized, deemed as fringe, demonic, and unpopular, juxtaposed against the inherited traditions from European colonialism. The Judeo-Christian faith, such as Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, and evangelicalism, has been favored and considered closer to the truth and the ideal. However, in the 21st century, with increased exposure, awareness, critical thinking, and a more liberal lifestyle, particularly among the younger generation, it is crucial to investigate whether attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean beliefs are changing. This study aims to explore the shifting attitudes of Jamaicans and the factors contributing to these changes, considering demographics....The full study is available at ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/372364213_Exploring_Changing_Attitudes_towards_Afro-Caribbean_Beliefs_in_JamaicaCaribbean_A_Study_of_Socio-Political_Religious_and_Cultural_InfluencesRenaldo McKenzie is an Adjunct Professor at Jamaica Theological Seminary and has Lectured several courses including Caribbean Theology and Caribbean Thought, Apologetics, Christian History and Discipleship and Evangelism.

Semester 2, 2024 at The Jamaica Theological Seminary: This week, we begin to loosely develop an outline of Caribbean History leading to its invention and beyond. We had already laid the foundation discussing the importance of going as far back as to Homer where Western civilization's foundations of knowledge begins. The Caribbean as part of the New World and the Americas was reinvented with the coming of the Europeans who were looking an opportunity to dominate and extract wealth in the race to be the leading European country.
-
-1492-3 - Columbus-knowledge religion people wealth -Ulterior motive: gold/profit/greed/international competition capital
-
British Take-over
-Slave trade The Lecture then moved into the main presentation responding to the question:Have We Misunderstood Our History?
“Redefining a people so as to misclassify their identity andconceal their heritage is tantamount to genocide”
If strategy is employed that continues the dynamics today, thathad once characterized the transatlantic slave trade, then a re-examination of Jamaica’s identity and heritage is warranted, specifically in relation to the Tainoe people, who were the original inhabitants of our land. While acknowledging the presence of East Indians and Chinese who arrived during the era of indentured labor after the abolition of slavery in 1865, the majority of the population, comprising individuals with black or brown skin, is believed to have African ancestry following the eradication of the Arawak Indians by the Spanish. This sets Jamaica apart from other Spanish-occupied West Indian islands like Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Belize, and Suriname, which retained a small native Indian population despite the Spanish invasion. Jamaica’s history documents the replacement of the native population with African slaves brought there by the Spanish. After the English defeated the Spanish in 1655, Jamaica became a significant port for the slave trade and sugar exportation. However, there is limited information available regarding the slaves and individuals whom the Spanish had freed following their defeat. It is uncertain whether the small group of people who served the Spanish during their rule were of African or Indian origin, as the extensive trade of Africans to the island did not occur before 1655.Nonetheless, those who were freed by the Spanish sought refuge in the mountains and established Maroon communities that persist to this day. Were these the original Indians? Have we misunderstood our history?[1]
Jamaica’s identity extends beyond ethnicity; we encompass a diverse range of people united as one. However, it is undeniablethat the majority of our population has a predominant African heritage, stemming from the era of the slave trade. The Urban Indian Heritage Society is currently challenging this narrative by presenting compelling research and data which suggest that Jamaicans have a rich history connected to the nativeIndians of the island.[2] They argue that genealogicalresearch reveals an urban American Indian root in Jamaica, providing an alternative perspective to our historical understanding.

On this episode of The Neoliberal Round, David Fair provided an update on the homelessness crisis in Philadelphia, with news of the city of Philadelphia's plan to close several transitional housing programs. The episode begins with a short introduction lifting up a breaking news from the interview then we went straight into the interview and discussions.Renaldo began the dialogue with David like this:"l'd like to welcome back David Fair to the podcast. David, the last time we spoke, we delved into the pressing issue of homelessness in Philadelphia. You emphasized the need for increased funding and a reevaluation of how the city identifies and supports the homeless population, noting that the current method may underestimate the true numbers. Today, I'm eager to hear about any developments since our last conversation.Furthermore, I noticed your recent LinkedIn comment regarding a new bill aimed at providing a subsidy for those aging out of the foster care system, (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/davidfairpartners_congressman-robert-garcia-and-congresswoman-activity-7155232416587010048-S1q4?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop). This bill, introduced by Congressman Robert Garcia and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, proposes a guaranteed basic income of $1,000 per month for young adults exiting foster care for five years. This initiative has the potential to significantly impact the lives of foster youth, potentially reducing youth homelessness and the demand for various support services, (see https://omar.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-robert-garcia-and-congresswoman-ilhan-omar-introduces-bill-provide).However, as with any new legislation, there are questions and considerations. I've expressed some skepticism about the bill's implications for homeless youth and potential drawbacks such as its impact on workforce participation. Today, I'd love to explore these aspects further with you.Once again, welcome to the podcast, David. It's a pleasure to have you here to discuss these crucial issues."In summary, David provided some breaking news updates and also elaborated on a recent initiative by Congresswoman Ilhan and Congressman Garcia to provide a monthly subsidy to youths aging out of the foster care system.David also commented on the recent departure of the Head of the Office of Homelessness Services and that the department was 25 million dollars in the red due to overspending that does not seem to be directly related to curbing homelessness.

Show and tell: The Parrot Pepe and his owner Jerry met up with me for the podcast in Center City Philadelphia to show and tell: talking about his parrot Pepe. Flanked by onlookers while filming and recording, the duo laughed and chirped about their time together and how their relationship provides catharsis as it facilitates a kind of therapy. Pepe took center stage flying and pitching or the onlookers and even sat on my shoulder and picked at my ear and hair. It was a joyous short moment that was full of love, and good times.
At the end Renaldo added a short music as the outro where he sings and play music.

What is Critical Thinking, and why is it essential to the reflection in Caribbean Thought? This week's lecture Topic: Conceptualizing the Course: Critical Thinking and its importance to studying the Caribbean.Consider:A. What Is the Caribbean, and What is the socio-economic context? The Caribbean is an invention of the 20th century? Dependency, Uncompetitive, Developing, Paradise, Poverty, Black and Brown, “Prenetratable”.B. Where is the Caribbean, and are the Caribbean People American? Part of the “New World” C. What is Critical Thinking and how is it important to studying Caribbean Thought? Caribbean as an Invention.D. Do we have any Urban Indian Heritages in the Caribbean? Challenges Arawak to Africans thought. (Renaldo McKenzie, “Have we Misunderstood Our Heritage?”Important Topics/Contributors 1. Immigration2.

CLR James, Norman Girman, Walter Rodney, V.S. Naipaul, Ramesh Sarwan, Bishop, Castro and Manley/Seaga12. Inequality, Poverty, Penetration, Theology, Technology and OpportunityCritical thinking involves challenging previously accepted truths and beliefs, a process essential in Africology and Pan-African studies that encompasses subaltern, nationalist, and post-colonialist thinking. It is thinking about thinking and rethinking what was previously thought. It promotes thinking around the periphery as against the center, transcends pragmatism, and considers Eurocentric and Afrocentric understanding of truths to digress from ethnocentrism. This form of thinking operates within these domains, aiming for specific goals. It can be likened to iconoclastic thinking, as seen when Plato shifted from the Greek notion of the warrior king to the philosopher king, prompting a reevaluation of the hero archetype. Furthermore, critical thinking within these disciplines reimagines individuals through the lens of critical race theory.Critical thinking is a widely accepted educational objective characterized by careful, goal-directed thought. While its definition may vary, it generally involves considering beliefs and knowledge critically, evaluating evidence, and drawing reasoned conclusions. John Dewey, an early advocate, described it as active, persistent consideration of beliefs in light of supporting evidence and potential findings. Over time, standardized tests have been developed to assess critical thinking abilities, with educational interventions shown to enhance them through methods like dialogue and mentoring (Critical Thinking (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/cr....The term 'critical thinking' as an educational objective traces back to the American philosopher John Dewey (1910), who often referred to it as 'reflective thinking'. Dewey defined it as the active, persistent, and meticulous examination of any belief or purported form of knowledge in light of the supporting evidence and the potential conclusions it leads to. He associated this habit of examination with a scientific mindset.Historically, critical thinking gained prominence in the 1930s through initiatives like the Eight-Year Study of the Progressive Education Association, which integrated critical thinking into educational goals. Bloom's taxonomy of cognitive objectives further incorporated critical thinking abilities. Since then, annual conferences and educational reforms worldwide have emphasized its importance, leading to its global inclusion in curricula and assessments. This led to the development of nationalist movements and Afrocentric religions such as Rastafarianism.

In today's Lecture, exploring the Course and its assertions, Professor Renaldo McKenzie asks a fundamental question that raises a vital observation briefly explored in this lecture. It begins to analyze the Caribbean post-independent experience and the black/brown position in the world today.We begin by reviewing the course outline, highlighting that Caribbean Thought explores diverse currents that have come to define the Caribbean. We presented the main themes and began considering: The Paradox of Sovereignty: Cuba and Haiti's Struggle for Freedom and the Challenge of Development (Chapter Excerpt).
By Rev. Renaldo McKenzie, Author of NeoLiberal Globalization Reconsidered, Professor of Caribbean Thought, at Jamaica Theologica Seminary
Brain Teaser: Quiz: What do Haiti and Cuba not have in common with D.R., Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados? 1. Poorest in the world 2. Black and brown people. 3. Granted freedoms 4. Taken Freedoms5. Embargoes and shaky diplomacy and international relations6. Debt, dependency and non-competitiveness7. Formerly colonized
Options: A. 2, 5, 6 and 7; B. 1, 4 and 5; C. 1 only 3; D. 3 and 4; E. 1, 4, and 4;F. All of the above.The Answer Reveals A Complex Tapestry of Independence and AdversityWith its vibrant cultures, rich histories, and diverse peoples, the Caribbean region has long been a subject of fascination and study. Within this complex tapestry of Caribbean thought lies a brain teaser, a puzzle that invites contemplation and analysis. This quiz, exploring the nuanced differences among various Caribbean nations, catalyzes deeper reflection on the socio-political landscapes of these countries. At the heart of this brain teaser lies a question: What sets Haiti and Cuba apart from the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados? The options presented delve into a myriad of factors, from economic status to historical legacies, shedding light on the unique trajectories of these nations. Upon closer examination, the correct answer emerges 1, 4, and 5. This selection illuminates key distinctions between Haiti, Cuba, and their counterparts. Firstly, Haiti and Cuba are the poorest nations in the Caribbean, grappling with economic challenges exacerbated by external pressures such as embargoes and diplomatic complexities. Unlike their counterparts, who have experienced varying degrees of economic stability, Haiti and Cuba find themselves ensnared in a cycle of poverty and dependency. Secondly, the notion of granted freedoms versus taken freedoms emerges as a pivotal theme. While countries like Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados have navigated the complexities of post-colonial governance and attained a degree of political autonomy, Haiti and Cuba have a tumultuous history of fighting for their independence. Yet, despite their efforts to chart their own destinies, they remain ensnared in geopolitical struggles, their sovereignty undermined by external interventions. Thirdly, embargoes, shaky diplomacy, and international relations are formidable barriers to progress for Haiti and Cuba. Unlike their counterparts, who have forged diplomatic alliances and pursued avenues of economic growth, Haiti and Cuba are marginalized on the global stage, grappling with the repercussions of contentious international policies....Let's take "A Deeper Look," check out the 3-hour lecture, and subscribe to get the upcoming Lectures, https://anchor.fm/theneoliberalRenaldo McKenzie is the Creator and Host of The NeoLiberal Round and Author of "Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance," and a new book coming in February, Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered.

The #economy is doing well, but it still needs to be felt among regular or #workingclassAmericans, who represent the majority of #Americans. Why? Because the gains are being enjoyed mainly by the #wealthiestAmericans. Studies suggest that #incomeinequality is at its highest, supporting our research #theneoliberalcorporation that indicates this, which we have published in an article in #TheNeoLiberalJournals theneoliberal.com and discussed on an episode of #TheNeoLiberalRound #Podcast. https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal and https://youtube.com/@renaldomckenzie. Moreover, #poverty and #homelessness are growing at alarming rates, surpassing pre-pandemic levels. Yet, we continue to tout the economy as a plus for the @POTUS administration.

Prof. Renaldo McKenzie introduces the course on day 1 of semester 2 at Jamaica Theological Seminary in Caribbean Thought. The course via the online portal met to explore the course. Renaldo explores the idea of the Caribbean as an invention underscoring this idea within critical thinking.
We ask in whose interest is the society invented?
Have inherited attitudes and beliefs held us back?
Wherever you find black people there is poverty?
Corruption and waste are possible reasons that have deepened Caribbean realities?
What is critical thinking?
Critical race theory and the dynamics of race?
"The Negro is not. Anymore than the Whiteman," (Fanon). Does that pertain to today?
What is happening in the world today with the rise in extremism and AI technology, how are we affected and what detractions or opportunities do these provide?
What is the Caribbean? As part of the New World.

Chino is a dynamic Rapper with a fantastic sound and story. A first-generation Cambodian, he declares he is representing all Asians as the Hottest. He may seem ahead of himself with this declaration, but when you listen to his music, there is no denying it: he is the hottest Cambodian, one of the hottest young rappers I have heard, with a great sound.
At first, he appeared Latino, but then he said he was Cambodian, which sounded like an African country. I asked him if that was where Joel Embiid was from. He laughed, saying uh-uh, Joel Embiid is not from Cambodia, lol. He then pointed out that his country, Cambodia, is next to Vietnam and is an Asian country. He then stated that he is representing all Asians all over the world.
The episode was created, hosted, edited and produced by Renaldo McKenzie at The NeoLiberal Round and The NeoLiberal Corporation. It contains graphic language. It was recorded in audio while traveling in a car, so we only have the audio, but we added his music and images from his videos to play in the background. He also shared two unreleased music from his arsenal.

"I did nothing wrong! We took corrective action. It's all a bunch of B.S.," John Anthony Castro, said via phone with Renaldo McKenzie, responding to his indictment and subsequent arrest on federal tax charges.John A. Castro responded to his arrest and indictment on Federal tax Charges by the Internal Revenue Service. Castro spoke with Renaldo McKenzie of The NeoLiberal Round Podcast and The NeoLiberal Journals at #TheNeoLiberalCorporation, clarifying the issues surrounding the indictment and asserting that he may have been the target of those who want to discredit him given his Presidential bid and lawsuit against Donald Trump (Castro V Trump). Mr. Castro is a GOP 2024 Presidential candidate who is also the main plaintiff in the #CastroVTrump lawsuit, where he is sung Trump for violation of section 3 of the 14th Amendment citing personal injury. The cases are still before the Federal courts in several jurisdictions pending a ruling which, according to Mr. Castro, the courts have been delaying through various tactics. Nevertheless, the indictment claims that Mr. Castro's company, AI Tax, has violated the tax laws by preparing false returns for clients. However, Mr. Castro stated that he knew the issue and worked to resolve it with the affected clients. He noted that the 33 felonies involved 13 of his over 1500 clients and that his company had claimed deductions for but who never qualified for the benefits. Mr. Castro stated that his company tried to fix the issue, which was between $ 3,000 and $ 6,000 in each case, but a few of the clients decided to work with the IRS and take it to federal court. Mr. Castro stated emphatically that his company AI Tax "did nothing wrong and took corrective action. It's all a bunch of B.S.," Mr. Castro said on the phone with Renaldo McKenzie earlier.John Castro was briefly detained on Wednesday, provided a copy of the indictment, which was usual for these arrests, and then returned home. He indicated that he plans on getting an attorney and has already started to assemble a team. However, Mr. Castro is an attorney who runs a successful law practice.
Mr. Castro will appear in court to make a guilty or no guilty plea on January 17th, 2024. We will continue to follow up with Mr. Castro.Mr. Castro recently contributed to the latest installment of The Castro V Trump series Part 6, released on January 9th, 2024, on The NeoLiberal round Podcast.

Mr. Castro dismisses political pundits claim that Section 3 of the 14th does not apply to Mr. Trump and described CNN and other media promoting this as childish and lacking erudite and legal analysis. John explains why Mr. Trump is qualified as an Executive Officer and how the amendment directly applies to Mr. Trump. Mr. Castro explores the GOP Presidential Race and discusses the possibilities. Mr. Castro is running for President to be the GOP nominee and is registered as a candidate in #newhampshire and several other states. He discusses this as well and his intentions to not stop at Trump regarding political figures role in #january 6th insurrection, but has his eyes on all of #trump 's surrogates and associates in the White House and Congress at the time who provided aide and comfort to the insurrectionists.

This New Year, let us become truly united, and to do so we may at the example of Jesus Christ as told in the Christian Bible of the Ultimate Sacrifice to give up oneself for the other. We begin 2024 with Easter, although Easter is weeks away, it is still appropriate to begin there given the crisis of humanity in the world today. There are wars and rumors of wars, hatred and disdain for each other. We cannot accept one another and have become inundated with selfish desires that give no credence to that which is external to us. But the act of Christ is a demonstration of God's ultimate plan for us to become one irrespective of our personal likes and dislikes. On this episode, I provide a record of a previous audio/video entitled "Forgiveness." It's an exhortation or homily at the "Old First United Church of Christ" on Forgiveness which I delivered several years ago that is worth reviving. The message is timeless and relevant today.I have added background music and a performance in worship at the end from another previous video/audio.Subscribe to the podcast on any stream, provide feedback: Support us https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theneoliberal/support.The NeoLiberal Round by Renaldo McKenzie is a production of The NeoLiberal Corporation, serving the world today to solve tomorrow's challenges by making poplar what was the monopoly.

This is the audio version of a recent blog: All these women jobs are on the line. After failing to appear sensitive and sympathetic enough to Jewish students in their apology over protests on their College campuses @Penn, @MIT, @Harvard, by students. They were or are being forced to resign. #Question: Is there discrimination in expectations for males as against female leadership? Women can lead but must appear soft. Men, not so much. What about other colleges with students who were protesting on their campuses? Such as Georgetown et al? These presidents have not been so unlucky. How many are men and how many are women, let alone black. Moreover, why does it seem that they are trying to exacerbate the justification for forcing Claudine Gay to resign? We call this an overcomplification: suddenly she Claudine Gay had many more negatives that we never heard about to add to why they wanted her to go. When people stretch a reason to justify an action, it can be described as "overcomplicating" or "overjustifying." This involves making an explanation more complex or convoluted than necessary, often to rationalize or defend a decision or behavior. In some cases, people may engage in overcomplication to obscure the true motives or to provide an excessive amount of justifications for an action. It seems evident here. It is as if they had always wanted Gay and these other women to leave the helm of these institutions and this provided an opportunity. Now, #BillAckman is turning his focus to #MIT's president after #Harvard and #Penn's resign, (https://businessinsider.com/bill-ackman-turns-focus-mit-president-sally-kornbluth-harvard-2024-1…). #LizMagill #ClaudineGay #SallyAnnKornbluth
Read it in #TheNeoLiberal #TheNeoLiberalCorporation. Untangling the Threads of Leadership: Gender Bias in the Fallout of Campus Protests - The NeoLiberal CorporationWe also made an important announcement at the end of the podcast regarding the launch of my second book, book 2 in the Neoliberalism Book series.
Coming Soon! Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered is a Novel Text that is bold, combining the styles of satire, stories in novels, and Socratic-platonic dialogue within a neat compendium that's coherent to provide a critical analysis on society from a subaltern perspective with impassioned emotions. Yet, not short of the truth, and is profoundly deep and impacting. written by @RenaldoMcKenzie #RenaldoMcKenzie with contributions from #MartinOppenheimer #Oppenheimer Published by #TheNeoLiberalCorporation via @IngramSpark

Podcast and Chill: Hip Hop Artiste Cameron Edward shares his music, passions, dreams, inspiration and the reason behind his move from San Diego to Philadelphia with Renaldo McKenzie on the first installment of The NeoLiberal Round Podcast's new Series entitled: "What's Your Story?" Cameron AKA "Cozier Cam: podcast and chill with Renaldo on the show which was quite interesting and cathartic. Cameron @coziercam1990 says San Diego is a Millennial city that he enjoys but had to leave as he became a father a year ago.
This episode starts with a response from Cozy in "Rap", after Renaldo asked? What's Your Story? The series is a way to continue to engender conversations in community towards a common understanding. Cameron discusses how the music started off as fun and games, but has evolved into something deeper, and provides an outlet to express himself and deal with his emotions which are usually bottled up.Cameron explains why J. Cole is his Goat in the Rapper World, saying one man's trash is another's gold. Renaldo also interrupts Cozy's rap at the intro with an amazing adlib - "I'm in the car with, cozy".
Cameron is also an entrepreneur and started his own production and digital media entertainment called Take Over Entertainment (Takeover.Ent) (TKO). @TakeOverEnt Cameron hopes to receive a Humanitarian Award which I thought was different given the violence of Rap music. But he corrects me saying that music is an expression and an art form and that the violence in the music is just telling the story of the streets and life. Music is a universal language no matter the actual language, when a song is in you, can feel the emotion through the music whether it is the beat or tone....
Listen to Cozy as he engages with Renaldo on the Podcast.

Togo was part of Ghana until the colonization and occupation by Germany, France and the British which divided a people and a place for their (Europeans') benefits and interests. This episode which is in preparation or the Lecture on Caribbean Thought Semester 2, 2024 at the Jamaica Theological Seminary, explores the West African Country, Togo which provides an interesting case as to how post-independent countries were forced into accepting a ceremonial freedom and independence. The independence negotiated could and affects the future of these small newly independent states and peoples. From Jamaica to Hit, Africa and the peoples within, black, brown or formerly colonized peoples. The Togo situation resembles all states that were fighting for independence but was still under the control of their former masters. The Podcast and production continues the Lectures in Caribbean and Pan Africanism exploring Neoliberal Globalization and the concept of The Black and Brown Position in the World, which is explored in my upcoming second book, Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered and will form part of the Lectures next semester, January 2024. We conducted an interview with a Togolese American and included an adapted and remastered documentary film by @AFRISTORYNETWORK Togo, with voice overs and narrations for the English Speaking Caribbean, American and European Markets.This episode will be included in the Lectures in #CaribbeanThought at the Jamaica Theological Seminary (( @jtsintersection ) the Professor Rev.

The NeoLiberal Blogs - Violence that seeks to do any type of physical harm towards hurt is a "sin". It's an attack against the highest ethic and command: The right to life/thou shalt not kill! Nowadays, we refer to this break from the will of God as unethical or immoral; in sacred terms, the actors are sinners or using the profanus, amoral.
Physical harm is a type of violence that threatens the -sanctity & rights to life. It's an attack against life and The Ultimate (God, Allah, Jehovah, Yahweh, I, The Divine, Essence of Life).
Therefore no physical violence is acceptable. This extends to the activities of war, brawls, domestic violence, corrupt capitalism or business practices leading to starvation, poverty and death, terrorism, systemic brutality such as murder, aggressive assaults, #policebrutality, #suicide and Suicide bombings, genocide, withholding care or causing the need for care leading to death, and even abortion, which may be seen as thwarting and subverting nature and the progression of life that is Divine.
(Note: Sacer v Profanus, the sacred and profane, today means religious or irreligious, sacred or secular to provide a designation based on one's affiliations and beliefs which is part of Liberal Studies Foundations at Georgetown University, exploring the foundations of Knowledge which will be part of Neoliberalism book 3 by Renaldo McKenzie out in 2026).

The NeoLiberal Corporation brings you Economic News Commentary and analysis on this episode of The NeoLiberal Round.

In a recent report by The New York Times, the U.S. National Debt soared to unprecedented heights, surpassing $33 trillion for the first time. This staggering figure has prompted concerns about the country's fiscal trajectory, especially as Washington grapples with the imminent threat of a government shutdown amid debates over federal spending.On this episode we share a news commentary editorial on the recent news of the increases in the National Debt available in our journal and posts. We put that into perspective here on the Podcast.

"Open the eyes of my Heart, Lord" is a powerful song of inspiration that may help to heal, inspire or facilitate reflection and solitude. It has been a rough year for many. and it continues to be for many more. One gentlemen stopped for a chat while walking his dog this morning on my street, a next door neighbor. It was calm and peaceful morning with birds chirping. He was wearing a hoodie and had a small dog. I was out for a stroll and we greeted each other and then he lunged in with words that he could not hold back anymore; "this is a devil year!" It's is tough and families are breaking up and so many deaths, wars hatred and chaos. He seemed perplexed. I had just lost several close friends and loved ones and learned just this morning that another friend died, a young 24 year old, shot and killed in North Philadelphia, ways away from the serenity of my community in Mount Airy which has been quiet and tranquil for sometime. Yet I felt a sense of loss and insecurity.
However, my faith and profound sense of the divine is what has helped me to get through this year and has given me tremendous hope. I sense a great urge and decided to share this song and provide these words of encouragement to help others in this ominous time. We are always surrounded with stimuli that degrade or create more chaos and hurt. May this episode break from that to promote love, reflection and an opportunity for spiritual connection.

This has never been done before in Podcast History. Podcasting while travelling in a commercial airplane -Spirit Airlines. Fr, Hyvenson Josephs chided the media on their reporting on Haiti, commenting that they have been reporting news about Haiti that is misguided and verging false news. This was while travelling on Spirit airlines recently. He is an #Episcopal Priest, originally from #Haiti but now living in the US as a Church father. I interviewed him about the #Haitiancrisis, while travelling on @SpiritAirlines to #Atlanticcity for a gathering of Priests in the Episcopal church and requested an interview. He was more than delighted to sit with me and discuss this pressing issue. This is part one of a 2-part interview. The second part will be done in video. This one is only in audio. We apologize for any background noise; as we were in-flight when we conducted the interview. We added background music and interludes to limit this and to accentuate your listening experience.

This episode is unique and different in every kind of way. We are in Florida for several events which we produced into several short episodes. The occasion marked the appreciation for The Rev. Bishop Lipton McKenzie who was celebrating 35 years in ministry. We had a chance to have members of the NeoLiberal Family share a rendition in music by Lisa, Tiasia, Ricardo and Renaldo McKenzie, which we captured and included on this episode. I also met up with The Bishop, my uncle and a General Overseer of the National Church of God in Florida. He was also the President of The McKenzie Financial Inc and the current Family Patriarch. Co-Host on the show is my twin brother Ricardo McKenzie who had a chance to announce a new series/podcast: The Family Podcast where The NeoLiberal Round will feature families so as to develop connection and promote family and community which a family member Brittany commented was united only at sad occasions such as funerals.
We were in Florida to do a new podcast episode on What's it Like Living in Florida, but also to celebrate the life of a young cousin, Sasha, who had just passed away due to some complications.
This is part 1 of a three part series which will culminate with an Anglican Bishop whom we met up while travelling on Spirit Airlines to Atlantic City on Sunday. The conversation was deep as we talked about Haiti and the crisis there.

John Castro spoke with me via Phone for a quick update on the Castro V Trump lawsuit. It was the prelude to the Castro V Trump series part 6 which will air this Sunday and we may go live from Florida before a Live studio audience.
John discusses the recent ruling and the lawsuit in Arizona. He pointed out that liberal judges are also dismissing his case on precedence that are irrelevant to his lawsuit and claiming that his standing is after the fact. He asserts that Democrats want Trump to win as the believe that Trump will loose to Biden. However this is a loosig strategy as the data suggests that Trump commands a lead against Republicans and a Democratic field including Biden. Listen to the brief but informative conversation I had with Mr. John A Castro as we get ready for the full Castro V Trump series part 6.

Earlier we shared a short interview with a powerful woman telling an inspirational story. Now we share how high prices are at stores for low-income people on Thanksgiving. Inflation maybe down but not in certain places. People are still paying higher than usual prices.

How do you reconcile between Antisemitism and American Rights to Freedom of Speech and Expression? What is Antisemitism? In this episode, I discuss this conflict within the context of liberal arts and liberal studies, that promotes human values and ethics. In fact I recently posted via a Tweet, "What's at #conflict here? It is one thing to be #american and have #freedomofspeech and #freedomofexpression. Which means you get to criticize and provide negative opinions about anything or anyone irrespective of how sanctimonious others may perceive a thing. Then there is #Antisemitism, which is tantamount to #HateSpeech. But critiquing is not #hate yet we seem to be confusing the two. Then there is #hate which is a #freeemotion but when put into words is a crime, yet speech is free. However, it is the acting out that hate into violence that is not acceptable. People cannot be prevented from hating and promoting their hate. That's #american, to speak one's mind which is what makes us #exceptional? Yet to act on that in any destructive ways is a crime and against #God. That is what is criminal and #unamerican. @elonmusk We discuss on #TheNeoLiberalRoundPodcasthttps://anchor.fm/theneoliberal and will publish it as a shirt blog/post in The NeoLiberal

This episode goes beyond narrating an article entitled, Harnessing Collective Efforts for Human Rights Promotion in Weak Governance Countries
The First Person I followed on Twitter: I joined X ( formerly Twitter) in September 2010 to follow Barack Obama as I was amused by him, his balanced approaches, passion for justice & fairness and his subaltern perspective of history & policy. Unlikely supporters, world leaders couldn't help their secret support of him despite their ire of the US. He didn't promote American exceptionalism without investing in American empowerment. He advocated for the Palestinians while encouraging diplomacy, Israeli nationhood and partnerships but a workable solution in the Middl East that caters to both sides.https://twitter.com/renaldomckenzie.
I then shared the article which is available in The NeoLiberal Post at https://renaldocmckenzie.com. I began the article by saying:
LinkedIn asked: “What are the most effective ways to promote human rights in countries with weak governance?”
In the face of challenging circumstances, the promotion of human rights in countries with weak governance becomes a daunting yet imperative task. It is evident that meaningful change necessitates a collaborative effort, uniting various stakeholders, including international bodies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), influential figures, and nations committed to human rights. These entities must pool their resources and expertise to empower and organize local groups within these struggling communities. While such an endeavor is complex, it requires a multifaceted approach.
Education emerges as a cornerstone in the quest for human rights promotion. Empowering the masses in countries with weaker governance, such as Haiti, Russia, and China, calls for the dissemination of critical thinking education. To foster positive change, initiatives supporting education must be vigorously endorsed. In this endeavor, the utilization of cutting-edge AI technology and other digital tools can prove instrumental.
I went on to say in the article that:
A striking example of the transformative power of technology in the advocacy for human rights is the Arab wave in Iran, where activists fighting for women’s rights harnessed social media to unite young people en masse. The impact of such movements extends beyond gender-based issues, addressing abuses against humanity, including discrimination, racism, and extremism. In essence, these are forms of violence against the human spirit and their fundamental rights. Throughout history, assertive advocacy, often materialized in the form of protests and rebellions, has played a pivotal role in challenging these violations and securing human rights.Listen to the podcast as I read the article and make other comments or read the article here.

We were Live in Germantown Philadelphia for their Local Government Elections. On this noisy but epic episode, we had a chance to participate in the Local Government elections for city Mayor, Councilors and Judges in Philly, and conducted several interviews with those present at the polling station including: voters and polling station workers and the surrogates working for the candidates. We even got a chance to do a quick Live out-door studio show recorded before an audience comprising residents of the community who took particular interest in the conversations we had with Kevin Poole who spared no time to speak at length with us about Philadelphia Politics, Cherelle Parker, Donald Trump and why he should be ineligible and the state of our country's conscience and the decadence of its morality. Kevin Poole, who is a Democratic Committee member in the 59th ward 10th division was campaigning for Cherelle and was confident that she would get the nomination to ne the 100th mayor of Philadelphia. Moreover, Cherelle would also become the first woman and fist black woman if she were elected. We did the recording on the day of the elections while at the polling station in Germantown Philadelphia on Wednesday November 8, 2023. Cherelle Parker, a Democratic candidate eventually won the mayoral race by a landslide, beating David Oh, the GOP candidate. We also had a chance to speak with several other volunteer workers who had much advice for the candidates vying to become the next crop of leaders who will steer Philly in the next phase of this century. On top of people's concerns were Homelessness, Poverty, Crime and Violence and Education. One conversation was quite interesting especially when a resident of the area stated that homelessness needs to be a big thing just as how elections are big and the candidates have posters and flyers all over, he stated that we need to see more of homeless resources being promoted in the city with the same level of urgency.The show was intense, deep and an enriching experience. We drew attention from several onlookers as we conducted the interviews in open space at the polling station. The NeoLiberal Round Podcast and The NeoLiberal Journals were the only media covering the polling station in Germantown.

President Joe Biden said today: "My Executive Order on Artificial Intelligence represents bold action, but that shouldn’t stop Congress from acting."Question: Who controls the narratives in the 21st century that has seen the decentralization of communication & control of information? Thanks to social/alternative media facilitated by Artificial Intelligence and advances and access to Digital Technology. The drive to regulate information & #AI must be approached with suspicion/scrutiny. In this podcast episode, I share an article article, published August 2023 in The NeoLiberal Journals entitled: "#Communication is to make popular what was the monopoly," in #TheNeoLiberalJournals, which is a section of "Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Neo-Capitalism and the Death of Nations."

The Neoliberal Round Podcast is thrilled to bring you an exclusive look at the ongoing legal saga that has taken the political world by storm. In this episode, we delve into the Castro v Trump series, a legal battle with profound implications for American politics. Mr. John Anthony Castro, the main plaintiff in this lawsuit and a US Presidential candidate, is at the forefront of this extraordinary legal showdown.
Part 5 of the #castrovtrump Series:
As we eagerly await Part 5 of this captivating podcast series, we can't help but reflect on the journey so far. The series explores the lawsuit initiated by Mr. #JohnAnthonyCastro against Mr. #donaldtrump, alleging a violation of Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment of the US Constitution. This section stipulates that no person who has previously sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States may engage in insurrection or rebellion against the nation or provide aid to its enemies. The lawsuit raises significant questions about the legitimacy of Mr. Trump's candidacy and, by extension, the integrity of the US political system.
Legal Complexities:
Mr. Castro's legal battle is laden with complexities and nuances. He argues that the mainstream media's lack of coverage is due to a broader strategy by Democrats to pave the way for Mr. Trump's return to the Presidency. His legal journey has seen multiple legal maneuverings and court rulings. One such issue revolves around the concept of standing, a critical factor in the lawsuit. The debate centers on whether Mr. Castro's candidacy is legitimate, as his name did not appear on any State ballot at the time.
A Fight for Justice:
Mr. Castro's commitment to this case is unwavering. He has filed an appeal to the Eleventh Circuit District Court in an effort to challenge the ruling that he lacks standing. Furthermore, he plans to take this case to the Supreme Court if necessary....
Other points that will be considered too numerous to state here:
-
Challenges to Judge Recusal:
-
Term Limits for Supreme Court Justices:
-
A Global Perspective:
Conclusion: The Castro v Trump series offers an intriguing and unique insight into the American legal and political landscape. Mr. John Anthony Castro's relentless pursuit of justice and the intricacies of the legal battle make this story a significant one. As we anticipate Part 5 of the series, it is essential to consider the broader implications for the nation's political future. Will this legal battle reshape American politics, or is it destined to remain a captivating chapter in the annals of political history? Stay tuned for the next installment of the Castro v Trump series to find out.---------------

In today's episode, we're going to unpack the latest update from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which sheds light on the current state of the global economy in 2023. The IMF's World Economic Outlook, released just a few days ago, paints a picture of sluggish growth, persistent challenges, and the consequences of significant policy shifts. Today, we'll dissect the key findings and delve into what this means for the broader global economic landscape.
Global GDP Growth: A Sluggish Trajectory
The IMF's latest report brings sobering news. The global economy is in for a bumpy ride in 2023 and 2024, with a downward revision in growth forecasts. Global GDP is now projected to grow by a modest 3.0 percent this year, down from the 3.5 percent growth we witnessed in 2022. Looking ahead, the IMF anticipates a marginal decrease to 2.9 percent in 2024, a slight adjustment from its April 2023 forecast of 3.0 percent.
The report emphasizes a crucial point: economic activity has yet to regain its pre-pandemic vigor, especially in emerging markets and developing economies. What's more, we're seeing widening disparities among different regions. Various factors are identified as culprits, holding back the recovery. These include the lasting impacts of the pandemic, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and the increasing fragmentation of the global economic landscape. But it's not just long-term challenges; cyclical issues also weigh in, such as the effects of monetary policy tightening to combat inflation, the withdrawal of fiscal support in the face of mounting debt, and the impact of extreme weather events.
Persistent Challenges from 2022
While many hoped to leave behind the challenges of 2022, we find that numerous problems from that year persist, creating a climate of ongoing uncertainty and subdued growth prospects. Issues such as elevated global debt, the Ukraine crisis, and heightened geopolitical tensions are still very much with us in 2023. The report also underscores that inflation is projected to remain elevated in advanced economies until at least 2025.
Additionally, there's the matter of China, a nation that played a pivotal role in bolstering global growth earlier this year by reopening its economy. However, we now see a property crisis in China, which poses an additional downside risk. If not effectively managed, this crisis could potentially have far-reaching consequences for the global economy.
Balanced Risks and Policy Moves
Despite these formidable challenges, the IMF report suggests that the risks to the global economic outlook are somewhat more balanced compared to six months ago. In the past, we were deeply concerned about the U.S. and Swiss banking crises and the looming specter of a catastrophic U.S. debt default. But the landscape has evolved since then, with policymakers taking measures to address these pressing issues.
As we consider the broader economic landscape, it's crucial to take note of the Federal Reserve's determination to gradually raise interest rates. This decision remains in place even in light of recent predictions by JP Morgan Chase, which forecast a potential global recession by the end of this year. We'll be exploring the implications of this monetary policy and its potential impact on the economy.
Income Inequality and Relative Deprivation
Lastly, we'll delve into the pressing issue of income inequality, measured by the Gini coefficient. Income disparities continue to widen, with the wealthy getting richer and the less fortunate becoming even poorer. This is particularly noticeable in the most economically vulnerable areas, leading to an alarming increase in crime and violence. This rise in income inequality and its social ramifications bolster the theory of Relative Deprivation, an idea we've discussed in detail in "Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Neo-Capitalism and the Death of Nation." We Explore on This episode of the Podcast.

It's really a horror story. It's a true story about the #Palestinianconflict how Israel stole the #Palestiniansland, making #psuedoappeals to #history. It's a story of #revenge and #defiance done with horror in #Prose or #allegory. So the reading was slowed down for that effect.

The Prose is written by Renaldo McKenzie for The NeoLiberal Round Podcast and The NeoLiberal Journals. The presentation is done in podcast format and therefore raw, and edgy, yet profound and deep. Here's an excerpt of the short in prose:A True Story in Prose to Ponder: A man has two houses on a large parcel of land; he divided it into two. One is dilapidated, while the other is a beautiful, income-generating edifice on better land. One day, another man from a powerful country (known as the foreigner thief), aided by his influential friends, forcefully stole and evicted the man from the superior part of the land. For years, he tried to reason with the foreigner thief, who had stolen his home and land, making it his family's abode and source of profit. The thief refused to return the home. The man attempted to involve other governments, but they declined and enacted laws legitimizing the foreigner thief's actions....— “The end is just the beginning”Get the short in e-print via The NeoLiberal Corporation's Moral Magazine by visiting, https://theneoliberal.com or https://renaldocmckenzie.comLet us know if you appreciate this short prose in dynamic presentation.

Israel vows to obliterate Hamas. But the question arises: how can you send bombs to obliterate an ideology? On This Episode of The NeoLiberal Round Podcast, We continue to discuss the Israel-Hamas conflict in the Gaza, presenting and discussing a recent article that raised and attempted to answer this question. Hamas is not confined to a physical location; it’s an ideology deeply ingrained in its supporters. They perceive themselves as justified fighters against what they view as Western invasion, symbolized by Israel’s ongoing occupation of their lands. Hamas has a presence not only in Gaza and Palestine but also in Syria, Egypt, Iran, and various other regions. Their coordinated military response in a recent attack caught the world by surprise.For the article we reference, visit The NeoLiberal Journals https://theneoliberal.com/israel-s-pledge-to-eradicate-hamas-unpacking-the-complex-reality-of-unresolved-histories-and-resistance/ at The NeoLiberal Corporation, https://thneoliberal.com.Subscribe to our YouTube channel: @RenaldoMckenzie Support us at https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=USSJLFU2HRVAQYou may also access our programs in audio podcast on any stream.

The NeoLiberal Post latest news brief comments on the Iran-Israel Conflict: In a stunning turn of events, the United States recently returned billions of dollars in frozen assets to Iran, believing that the Middle Eastern nation was largely complying with peace and non-nuclear agreements. However, mere weeks after the return of these funds, Iran has resumed its controversial activities, raising serious concerns about the stability of the region and the world at large.
It appears that Iran’s intentions all along were to take advantage of this newfound financial freedom, as intelligence reports suggest that Hamas, in a clandestine meeting, secured support from unlikely allies – Russia, China, and North Korea. This alliance has sent shockwaves throughout international diplomacy and threatens to reshape the geopolitical landscape.
Under the leadership of former President Donald Trump, the world witnessed a period of relative calm in the Middle East, with fewer attacks and conflicts involving Iran and its proxies. However, the current administration, under President Joe Biden, now faces an escalating crisis, as Iran, emboldened by its newfound resources, poses a growing threat.
Some political observers speculate that certain U.S. politicians, secretly hoping for a Trump return to power, may be viewing these escalating tensions as a way to bolster his leadership credentials. They argue that, given President Biden’s challenges and the deteriorating situation, Trump could be seen as the stronger leader in these troubled times.
Disturbingly, Western intelligence agencies, including those of Egypt, Israel, the UK, and the U.S., were caught off guard by the recent escalation in the Middle East. This intelligence failure raises serious questions about the ability of these agencies to protect their respective nations in an increasingly volatile world.

Welcome to The NeoLiberal Round Podcast! Join your host, Renaldo McKenzie, author of "Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance," and co-host Donte T. Nelson, Producer and Deputy Content Engineer at The NeoLiberal Corporation, in this enlightening episode.
In this installment, Renaldo shares a deeply personal journey of academic struggle during his youth, growing up in an environment that didn't prioritize academic and intellectual excellence or literary scholarship at the highest levels. Despite these challenges, he harbored a dream of making a profound impact on academia, much like an Einstein. Fast forward to today, where Renaldo has achieved just that with his first published academic book, "Neoliberalism," and an upcoming one, "Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered," featuring Prof. Emeritus Dr. Martin Oppenheimer.
Renaldo opens up about how his resilience paved the way for acceptance into an Ivy League college, the University of Pennsylvania, and his current pursuit of a doctorate at Georgetown University. Not stopping there, he also serves as an Adjunct Professor at Jamaica Theological Seminary and manages his own, albeit struggling, company.
Listen in as Renaldo sheds light on the importance of "The Celebration of Disciplines," including the discipline of Solitude (silence), a concept he discovered in a book by Richard Foster after encountering his mentor at the seminary. These principles have grounded him and provided a much-needed focus.
This episode marks the first part of a compelling three-part series with Donte Nelson as co-host, delving into their unique stories—a journey filled with challenges, struggles, and powerful learning experiences. Discover how every obstacle has become an opportunity for growth, skill acquisition, and overall improvement in their shows and websites.
Join us on this transformative voyage, where adversities become stepping stones to success and personal development. Don't miss this insightful episode of The NeoLiberal Round Podcast!
Renaldo is author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance and an upcoming new book, Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Neo-Capitalism and the Death of Nations.

Question: Should DHS provide more support to CUAs, given their unique vulnerability? Alternatively, should DHS be allowed to override CUA decisions if their agency is open to risks that DHS is largely protected against?
Donte and I (Renaldo McKenzie) discuss this issue which was one of the may key points raised during a recent interview with Mr. David Fair, Deputy Chief at Turning Points for Children and a past Deputy Managing Director of the City of Philadelphia. However, on this podcast episode we discuss this particular point which was also an article exploring the issue in The NeoLiberal Post at https://renaldocmckenzie.com entitled, Child Placement and Responsibility: Exploring the Role of Philadelphia’s CYS-DHS, dated Oct. 5, 2023.
FootNote: The Department of Human Services (#DHS) is the government agency responsible for overseeing child and youth family services within the @PhiladelphiaGov. Within this framework, #CommunityUmbrellaAgencies (#CUAs) play a pivotal role as the #casemanagement model under the #IOC (#ImprovingOutcomesforChildren) initiative. Under this program, #CYS (#ChildYouthandFamily Services) case management services are outsourced to non-profit or private agencies to efficiently operate and manage these critical services.

President Biden may have made a prudent decision to reverse his plans to end Former President Donald Trump’s policy on erecting a US border wall as some Agents Cash in on illegal immigrants willing to pay them huge sums to cross.

This is a true story about overcoming the challenges of life. Alexis sat with us and shared a few pages of her upcoming book which is a true story about her young life. She talked about how she grew up in a violent home in the projects of #Philadelphia where she and her siblings witnessed the constant violence between their mom and dad. She revealed how she was also molested by a family member and later locked up and while incarcerated developed an interest in art, music and writing which she honed. She is out of prison and working on several projects. The interview was done in audio with Donte Nelson, Co-Producer and Renaldo McKenzie, Host and Producer in studios at The NeoLiberal Corporation. We added background imagery and music to augment your listening and watching experience. We will have a video interview coming later this month with Alexis to delve some more into her story. #TheNeoliberalRound is a production of The NeoLiberal Corporation, a dynamic think tank, digital news commentary, Publishing, and IT company aimed at serving the world today to solve tomorrow's challenges by making popular what was the monopoly.

Is social media becoming too serious with etiquettes transplanted by big businesses and politicians running for office? "Have you heard about #twitteretiquette or social media etiquette? As if social media is "serious" media or academia. So #elonmusk stepped in and now there's #xetiquette," (https://x.com/renaldomckenzie). Donte and I elaborated on and discussed this recent Tweet on this episode of the podcast. We broke it down into several questions which we addressed on the podcast:1. Should Social Media become serious media or academia?2. Is there anything such as Twitter or social media etiquette?3. Will Social Media return to being "Social"?4. Is Elon Musk the X-Factor ushering "X" etiquette? There has been a myriad of debates and concerns about whether social media is responsible for abnormalities in teens and human beings without any credible evidence. Yet, social media a tool for human engagement and interaction at the informal and social levels, has been scapegoated as if social media has any human conscience. The fact is that social media such as Twitter is a platform, or resources such as a religious book or canon promoting love, that can be manipulated corrupted, and abused to do something other than their intended purpose to achieve an end that may advance or upend humanity. Nevertheless, regulating scriptures or social media is never the answer as doing so re-monopolize control of information. I discuss this in an article in The NeoLiberal Journals entitled: "Communication is to make popular, what was the monopoly," (https://theneoliberal.com). The Podcast was recorded in audio, however, we provided background video images and content for your viewing pleasure which you may find interesting as you watch the show. The episode raised some important points that require further reflection and are explored further in my new book Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Neo-Capitalism and the Death of Nations, Out soon.

Warning: This podcast will show and discuss an unedited video of Eddie Irizarry being fatally shot by a Philadelphia Police, Mark Dial. Host Renaldo McKenzie and Co-Host, Donete Nelson will explore this and several other videos involving police brutality. The videos contain graphic language and violence. Viewer discretion is advised. On this powerful and dynamic episode of The Neoliberal Round Podcast, Renaldo and Donte provide insightful commentaries on the constant and sore issue of police brutality and question whether promises of reform were just a means to pacify the BLM. The Police are still not wearing body cams, still killing black men in certain communities and lying about it, while still benefitting from the protection of their unions and politicians even after the protests stemming from the Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Tyre Nichols, and countless other police killings, and the promises of change and reform. Still, police continue to abuse their power and violently kill black, brown, and Latino men in certain communities then retreat to their unions and the system for protection which applies a slap on the wrist. It is no wonder that Police continue to gun down certain people in diverse communities. The latest killing of Eddie Irizarry was more telling and Mark Dial, the Police Officer who fatally Irizarry, was even more telling of the police's constant brutality and how they are still supported by their unions and the system. He had initially lied that Irizarry had lunged at him with a knife and refused to participate in the investigation. When the body cam video was released showing that Irizarry was in his car when Dial quickly attacked with gun drawn and fired six times killing Irizarry, he turned himself in and was only given a $50, 000.00 bail and his union released a statement that they were still behind Dial. Dial's attorney reported that Dial was legally justified as he was in fear for his life. This is farfetched as there is no evidence of this, except the video showing the opposite of Dial's initial lie that Irizarry had attacked him. The podcast was a discussion of a post in The NeoLiberal Post by Renaldo McKenzie entitled: "When Police Serve and Protect, Becomes Lie and Betray" highlighting in various police killings how they use sly arguments, loopholes, and the system to continue to brutalize or to escape responsibility and accountability in their excesses. https://renaldocmckenzie.com/2023/09/when-police-protect-and-serve-become-lie-and-betray/ The Podcast discussed another police killing in New Castle Delaware where a 28-year-old was killed by police after a deadly chase. The police had a press conference but provided a convoluted & conflicted story & would not take questions from reporters. They conveniently do not have body cam video & demonize the victim by calling him a fugitive as if he is not innocent until proven guilty by a court of law, not by police. The podcast reminded us of the Tyre Nichols beating by Police leading to his death & the constant call for all police to wear body cams that work in the execution of their duties. Further, the podcast explores whether police unions should get involved in police excesses and killings since police officers are charged with serving protecting, and upholding the law and that is in question involving those they are charged to serve and protect, police should have the protection of their unions. Finally, the podcast shows how the legal system and legislature continue to preach reform while accommodating police flagrant adjustment of the reform requirement to wear body cam and the application of $50,00 bail involving police killings. This is a must-see podcast episode with background music, embedded videos, and artistic images interspersed throughout for a dynamic listening and watching experience.

In this latest podcast, I present a recent article published in The NeoLiberal Journals entitled: Embracing Diversity in Spiritual Interpretation. The article is also part of my reflections from my Doctoral studies at Georgetown University looking at Power, Privilege, Position and Status, and the Foundations of Knowledge and Hegemony of Faith. Further, we are conducting a study on changing attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean beliefs. This is important to the discussions concerning diversity which must begin with interfaith unity and how we interpret divine revelation. In Western societies and especially in the Americas there has always been this penchant to promote Eurocentrism which was always part of the center. Indigenous or African practices inherited from Africans and traditions of the ancient Indians have been demonized within Christendom. However, It is a privileged language that promotes a cultural religion that denies diversity and limits the immutability and transcendence of God who speaks all languages.
I began the article like this: In a world filled with diverse beliefs and interpretations of religious texts, it is crucial to foster interfaith unity, understanding, and acceptance rather than judgment and condemnation. There are those who assert that certain practices, such as the prohibitions against adultery or fornication, should be universally condemned based on interpretations of Hebrew scriptures and prophetic authority. However, it is important to recognize that such methods of exegesis and biblical interpretation can be both inaccurate and misleading.

I asked Yoan (CHATGPT/AI Assistant): Did I split the infinitive when I entitled a recent Podcast: "How To EFFECTIVELY stop DDOS, Brute Force, Worms, and Other Cyber Attacks?"
Yoan answered: In the sentence "How to effectively stop DDoS and cyber attacks?" there is indeed a split infinitive. A split infinitive occurs when an adverb or other word is placed between "to" and the base form of a verb. In this case, "effectively" splits the infinitive "to stop."
Split infinitives are not considered grammatically incorrect in modern English, and they are often used to add emphasis or clarity to a sentence. While some traditional grammar rules suggested avoiding split infinitives, this is no longer a strict rule in contemporary English. Many style guides and language experts now accept split infinitives as a valid and sometimes preferable construction.
So, your sentence "How to effectively stop DDoS and cyber attacks?" is grammatically correct and widely accepted in modern English.
I responded: Thank you, I am old school, so I was taught never to split the infinitives. But it seems English has evolved from that. It is a good thing as although it was grammatically incorrect to split the infinitives, everyone did it except the very few academics. But the practice has become the standard, is that not the case?
Yoan then replied: You're correct in noting that the rule against splitting infinitives was more rigid in the past, it was often taught as an absolute prohibition in formal writing. However, as the English language has evolved, so have the attitudes towards grammar rules, including the split infinitive rule.
In modern English, splitting infinitives is generally considered acceptable and even preferred in many cases when it helps to clarify the meaning or adds emphasis to a sentence. Language evolves over time, and usage ultimately shapes the rules. In practice, split infinitives have become common and are widely accepted in both formal and informal writing.
Many style guides, such as The Chicago Manual of Style & The Modern Language Association's MLA Handbook, no longer maintain strict prohibitions against split infinitives. They acknowledge that clarity and natural expression should often take precedence over old-fashioned prescriptive rules.
So, while some traditionalists may still prefer to avoid split infinitives in certain situations, it is no longer considered a grammatical error in contemporary English. The practice of splitting infinitives has indeed become the standard in many cases.

That concludes the essence of my conversation with CHATGPT/OpenAI regarding the accuracy of a title I employed. This discussion has been enlightening, offering deeper insights into how technology has significantly advanced, making it more accessible and user-friendly. What used to necessitate formal education may no longer be the case today. YouTube's wealth of DIY videos and AI-driven tools provide invaluable assistance in navigating the complexities of professional life.
What's imperative now is for individuals to become tech-savvy, capable of framing questions for AI & utilizing technology to access answers and support. It's no surprise that enrollment in community colleges & some four-year institutions has plummeted by as much as 37 percent. College dropout rates, especially among African Americans, remain unacceptably high. Traditional institutional learning is gradually becoming obsolete, largely due to the influence of technology.
Furthermore, language itself is evolving, with popular language gaining acceptance in academic and formal writing. As we move forward, we must proactively plan for the societal changes that demand adjustments in education—what we teach and how we teach—since technology and popular culture are increasingly integrated into modern society.

There is a lot happening in the news as usual and we will briefly get into them today:
- Recently someone asked why are blacks so anti-American, why don't they just leave? The comment was in response to a comment I made to John A. Castro regarding his feature in Newsweek attempting to get Trump off the ballot. I stated: No one is above the laws and the constitution. Nevertheless, many will hate on you Mr. @realJohnACastro for what you're doing to hold leaders such as Mr. @realDonaldTrump accountable. But never give up! What is not done in this life will be done in the next. But we continue to do what we can in this life. The scriptures provide a picture of humanity when the gospels report on how Pilate was perplexed with a crowd of angry citizens in Greco-Roman world called for the release of Barabas, a convicted criminal, yet demanded that Jesus, who was innocent should be crucified: "away with #Jesus but give us #Barabas." That is the nature of a fallen race needing rescue, who are still embracing the bad over the good without apology and with intense illogic and inhumanity devoid of certain ethical virtues. via https://twitter.com/renaldomckenzieWe have had Castro on the show. The person included Renaldo McKenie, Mr. Castro, and Mr. Trump in the reply. I did reply via Twitter and I discussed this with Donte on the episode today.
I replied: Who says that they were & who are #antiamericans? When you say #blacks do you mean #lgbt, #urbanindians, #ancientamericans, #LatinAmerica. #liberals, #democrats #moderates? And Why should they leave what may be theirs in the first place @UihsOrg ? Moreover, you confuse freedom of expression and the fight for social justice 7 equality as hate. Change does not come by #solitude. But by making popular what was the monopoly! so that we are able to serve the world today to solve tomorrow's challenges... #theneoliberalcorporation.

Lyrics:
Stanza 1: I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry. All who dwell in dark and sin my hand will save. I, who made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright. Who will bear my light to them? Whom shall I send?

Stanza 2: I, the Lord of snow and rain, I have borne my people’s pain. I have wept for love of them. They turn away. I will break their hearts of stone, give them hearts for love alone. I will speak my words to them. Whom shall I send?
Stanza 3: I, the Lord of wind and flame, I will send the poor and lame. I will set a feast for them. My hand will save. Finest bread I will provide, till their hearts be satisfied. I will give my life to them. Whom shall I send?

In the podcast episode on The NeoLiberal Round Podcast, host Renaldo McKenzie discussed the situation in Haiti with an anonymous guest referred to as "R" due to safety concerns. The episode primarily focused on the need for international support and a Haitian-led solution to address the political and social challenges in Haiti. Renaldo emphasized the importance of refraining from supporting specific political parties or sectors in Haiti to ensure a stable and just democracy. He also encouraged listeners to engage with their research initiatives on Haiti and support their capital campaign drive to expand their reach and impact. Throughout the episode, the discussion revolved around the complex issues facing Haiti and the role of international stakeholders in finding a solution while safeguarding the anonymity of their guest.
Breakingnews: As at now #haiti has been under siege. Since last week Monday thousands of residents in parts of Port-au-Prince have been relocated & over 15 people have been killed. Those running for shelter are caught between warring #gangs' crossfire. On Wednesday gangs open fire on a community. We learned this during the interview on Haiti.

The National Multi-Agency Coordinating Group raised the National Preparedness Level to Level 4 due to significant wildland fire activity in multiple Geographic Areas, signaling the potential for more large wildfires. Over 20 Incident Management Teams are actively handling wildfires across various geographic zones. The National Interagency Coordination Center is collaborating closely with Geographic Area Coordination Centers to organize and fulfill orders for firefighting resources.
Presently, over 10,600 wildland firefighters and support personnel are assigned nationwide. Eleven new large fires were reported recently, with six in California, and one each in Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, Montana, and Washington. These incidents collectively led to the burning of 515,705 acres across 14 states.
In response to the situation, a Type 1 incident management team is being deployed to Hawaii to aid wildfire suppression efforts. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maintains its close partnership with local and state agencies in Maui.
For additional information, you can refer to the following sources:

How Much Damage Do Wildfires Cause? (Commenting on the Story by Florian Zandt in Statista.com)
The article discusses the significant impact of natural catastrophes linked to elevated temperatures, such as wildfires and droughts, on the United States in 2022. These events resulted in $18 billion in losses, with only half of this amount being covered by insurance. Management consulting and reinsurance providers Aon and Munich Re provided these estimates. A natural catastrophe is defined by Aon as an incident leading to property losses exceeding $25 million, ten or more deaths, 50 or more injuries, 2,000 or more filed claims, or extensive damage to homes and structures.
The article's accompanying chart reveals a decline in estimated losses since their peak in 2018. Munich Re calculated losses of approximately $25 billion in the U.S. for this year. Notably, the Mendocino Complex Fire, one of California's largest wildfires, contributed around $56 million to insured losses. This fire scorched 459,000 acres and raged from late July 2022 to early January 2019.
Despite these losses, the article points out that the catastrophic events of 2022 were overshadowed by the 2020 wildfire season in the Western United States. This particularly destructive season saw 47 fatalities, the burning of 10.2 million acres, and the destruction of over 13,000 structures across more than 100 fires within four months.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration underscores that climate change is a primary driver of increased global wildfire activity. Rising emissions and global warming contribute to higher temperatures and prolonged drought, creating favorable conditions for the ignition and spread of wildfires, especially in arid regions. These fires lead to devastating consequences including structural damage, loss of life, and severe injuries. Additionally, wildfires contribute to the loss of global tree cover. In 2022, a total of 56 million acres of tree cover were lost, with wildfires responsible for 16.6 million acres of this loss, according to estimates by Global Forest Watch.

This is the audio excerpt of a podcast interview with David Fair, Deputy Chief at Turning Points for Children, regarding his part on the re-make of @HBO documentary series “Eyes On The Prize,” which is a continuation of the 1980's PBS film; the award-winning documentary series telling the stories of the civil rights movement in the US. We interviewed David in July 2022. The first two series were broadcast in the 80s and covered up to 1985, and the new series will be released next year and pick up from there looking at the fight against discrimination within the African Amercian especially people affected by the HIV pandemic. We did this interview via audio July 2022, and made it available on our YouTube, but the file was corrupted and removed. We have edited and updated a video excerpt which is available here. Th full episode was for over two-hour and is available in its entirety on the audio podcast.
The episode begins with an excerpt from the opening sounds of the original Eyes on the Prize series by @PBS . I then share a song that I sung to transition into the discussions entitled: “You’re My Brother, you’re my sister,” as David embodied this need to demonstrate love that does not include color. Here’s a white gay man in the 1980’s who was defying his community! The interview was extremely informative and powerful. He discusses why he was interviewed for the new documentary by the HBO crew recently and talked about his work as a Union Leader and then Spearheading the setting up of funding programs to combat HIV/AIDS IN THE 1980S. We explored how the epidemic speaks to the issue of race & inequality as there were racism within the white gay community towards black gays which didn’t have any agency of such & lack funds to get treatment or access education about #HIV/ #AIDS. He explored how it wasn’t until 1987 that city government in Philadelphia provided funding as most of the available funds were within the white gay community (private funding); Blacks were poor. The interview is available in audio (and video only on the Spotify platform). It was one hour long & we even touched briefly on other topics such as Child Youth & Family in Philadelphia, homelessness & the efficacy of documentary films in purporting truth.
In the interview, David said he uses his white privilege to create or effect change in a positive way by working to advance the lives of black and brown people affected by HIV/AIDS in the 1980s when he went from a union leader/organizer to pressing for help to support these vulnerable group to eventually becoming one of the person instrumental and the mastermind behind the setting up of funds and created organizations that are funded to support poor black community that includes those affected by HIV/Aids; and these agencies still exists today.
https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theneoliberal/support.
Note: Today 1 out of every 7 young black and brown males are affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. And it wasn’t until 1987 that black and brown gay people got any agency to deal with HIV/AIDS, thanks to #philadelphia’s #firstblackmayor. Moreover, Reagan wasn’t providing federal funding to assist black and brown people to fight the disease. And black and brown peoples living with HIV/AIDS were poor and stigmatized more heavily than their white counterparts who were also discriminated against but was said to be racist towards black gay people. The white gay community had money, so that they never needed federal funding but did not care much for black gay people and did not share their funds with black gay people who were poor. This attitude is what defied these vulnerable groups. They are all subjugated and discriminated against but weren’t as united as they still practiced a form of racism and discrimination themselves. We explored these in the interview with David Fair on The Neoliberal Round.

Good day, listeners! Welcome to "The NeoLiberal Round" News. Today, we bring you updates on the legal battles surrounding former President Donald Trump and the ongoing "Castro V Trump" trial.
In recent developments, former President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to four criminal charges linked to his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The backdrop for his arrest and arraignment is none other than the Washington, DC, courthouse, which had a front-row view of the violence during the January 6, 2020, Capitol attack. It is also the same courthouse where over 1,000 Trump supporters, who participated in the insurrection, have made appearances.
Trump's indictment has raised eyebrows as it is perceived by him as a "persecution of a political opponent," something he believes should never have happened in America. The charges against him include conspiring to defraud the United States and obstructing an official proceeding. Prosecutors are relying on a Reconstruction-era civil rights law to accuse Trump and his co-conspirators of attempting to deprive individuals of their right to vote and have their votes counted.
In an extraordinary turn of events, the next hearing in Trump's case is scheduled for August 28, just five days after the first Republican presidential primary debate. The timing underscores the unprecedented federal court schedule for a front-runner in the 2024 nomination race.
Meanwhile, in the "Castro V Trump" trial, the legal battle between John A. Castro and Donald Trump continues to capture attention. Castro, a US 2024 Presidential Candidate, initially filed a suit against the Federal Election Commission (FEC), arguing that they should not allow Trump to run for office due to his involvement in the January 6th insurrection, which he claimed violated the 14th amendment. However, the court dismissed the case on standing grounds.
Undeterred, Mr. Castro filed a new lawsuit against Trump in January 2023, setting the stage for the legal showdown. The presiding Judge, Aileen Cannon, a Trump-appointee, has been accused by Castro of displaying bias towards Trump, adding complexity to the proceedings. The ruling was further delayed, and in July, the case was dismissed, with the court concurring with Trump's motion that Castro lacked standing as a candidate.
Mr. Castro promptly filed an appeal to the 11th district court to overturn Judge Cannon's decision and requested her recusal from all cases involving Trump. However, on August 1, 2023, Mr. Castro reported that he and his legal team have filed an emergency petition to the United States Supreme Court. This move indicates Castro's determination to pursue justice at the highest level of the judiciary.
Critics have raised concerns about Trump's surrogates influencing the outcome of the trial, allowing them to define a candidate's standing in a way that aligns with their desired rulings.
Stay tuned to "The NeoLiberal Round" podcast news for further updates as these legal battles unfold. We will continue to bring you in-depth coverage and analysis of the ever-evolving developments in the world of politics and law. Thank you for tuning in!

Welcome to our final class in Caribbean Theology. Today, we will review some essential aspects and prepare for the upcoming examination. Let's begin the review.
Caribbean theology, as we have explored, involves the study and contemplation of divine and religious beliefs within the context of the Caribbean region, with its diverse cultures and histories. It is important to recognize that Caribbean theology encompasses more than just African ancestry. We also find influences from various other cultures, such as East Indian, Chinese, and indigenous communities. Understanding this diversity enriches our perspective.
One of the key goals of Caribbean theology is to encourage and reclaim cultural identity. By integrating elements of African and Caribbean spirituality, we can reconnect with our indigenous beliefs and practices that were marginalized during the colonial era. This process fosters a sense of pride and self-determination among Caribbean communities and challenges the dominance of Eurocentrism in theological discourse.
Black liberation theology, which emerged as a response to racial oppression in the United States, has also influenced Caribbean theology. The movement of the United Negro Improvement Association (U.N.I.A.) and the rise of Rastafari during the Great Depression had significant impacts on the development of Caribbean theology. These interconnected movements of the global South and North show the symbiotic relationship between oppressed communities worldwide.
Critical thinking plays a crucial role in Caribbean theology, enabling us to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize information and ideas objectively. Through critical thinking, we can better understand history and its interpretation, acknowledging the various influences that have shaped our theological perspectives.
As we approach the examination, I encourage you to focus on the themes we discussed in class. You will be asked to answer two questions out of a selection of seven. The questions cover topics like the role of Caribbean theology in encouraging cultural identity, the significance of black liberation theology, the challenge of Christian missions in the Caribbean, and the importance of faith in advocating for justice and equality.
Remember, Caribbean theology is not just an academic exercise but a means to empower ourselves and our communities. Let us continue our exploration and interpretation of religious concepts, beliefs, and practices, keeping in mind the rich tapestry of our Caribbean heritage.
For Caribbean Theology, transcending culture does not mean negating its roots or cultural identity but rather engaging in a critical dialogue that draws from its cultural heritage while also addressing the challenges and opportunities of the present. This approach empowers Caribbean communities to reclaim their narratives, interpret scriptures through their contexts, and construct theology that resonates with their lived experiences. It also encourages a more meaningful and relevant engagement with spiritual and religious practices, enabling a greater sense of ownership and connection to faith. Ultimately, a dynamic and open-minded theology that recognizes the importance of culture can contribute to the spiritual well-being and empowerment of Caribbean communities.
Thank you for being part of this journey in Caribbean theology. I wish you all the best in your examination and beyond. May your learning continue to enrich your lives and the lives of those around you.

Prof. Renaldo McKenzie delivered a powerful final Lecture in Caribbean Thought that was climactic at Jamaica Theological Seminary, exploring Walter Rodney's Struggle for Democracy in Guyana exploring how this struggle for democracy and independence continues even today throughout postcolonial countries of the global south. Rev. McKenzie explained that Walter Rodney, a renowned historian and socialist from Guyana, was not only known for his academic work but also as a political leader. He was an active member of the Working People's Alliance (WPA) and a critic of the authoritarian Forbes Burnham dictatorship. Burnham, though claiming to be socialist, maintained a repressive regime in Guyana and had friendly ties with the United States. He held power through rigged elections and suppression of opposition parties and trade unions. Rodney, aware of the risks, chose to work within Guyana to bring about change. He was assassinated in 1980, drawing international condemnation from figures like Michael Manley, Maurice Bishop, and Fidel Castro. In his essay, written before his death, Rodney analyzed the nature of the Burnham dictatorship, exposing its corruption, incompetence, and tactics for consolidating power. He criticized the regime's personality cult and its attempts to appear as a democracy while suppressing fundamental rights. Renaldo raised and expounded on questions that Mr. Rodney seem to be answering in his Essay via Jacobin magazine: 1. Question: How can the working class challenge the Burnham dictatorship and assert its power? 2. Question: What is the significance of civil disobedience and non-cooperation in the struggle for liberation? 3. Question: How can national unity be achieved in Guyana, given its diverse racial and class divisions? 4. Question: What is the alternative to the Burnham dictatorship, and how can the people reclaim their rights and restore democracy? 5. Question: How can resistance be sustained against the violence and intimidation of the dictatorship? Prof. McKenzie concluded this section of the Lecture with a summary, "Rodney's essay explores essential questions related to working-class power, national unity, and the path towards liberation in Guyana. His answers highlight the historical lessons of collective labor actions, civil disobedience, and the need for a government of national unity as a clear alternative to the oppressive dictatorship. He calls for a united and determined effort to reclaim democracy and build a just and equitable society for all Guyanese."
Part 2 of the Lecture: Afro-Caribbean Beliefs: Prof. McKenzie then shifts gears to explore Afro-Caribbean Beliefs in Jamaica and to discuss a study that the class will be embarking on to ascertain how Caribbean people's attitudes towards their Afro-Caribbean Beliefs are changing. Rev. McKenzie discussed Afro Caribbean Beliefs especially those in Jamaica: According to Rev. McKenzie, "in Jamaica, there has historically been a negative perception towards African and indigenous spiritual practices, religious beliefs, customs, and faiths that draw influences from Urban Indian Heritage or African traditions. Rastafarianism, Obeah, Voodoo, Pocomania or pocco church, revivalists, and Muslim beliefs have often been marginalized, deemed as fringe, demonic, and unpopular, juxtaposed against the inherited traditions from European colonialism. The Judeo-Christian faith, such as Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, and evangelicalism, has been favored and considered closer to the truth and the ideal. However, in the 21st century, with increased exposure, awareness, critical thinking, and a more liberal lifestyle, particularly among the younger generation, it is crucial to investigate whether attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean beliefs are changing.

Conclusion: The lecture urges students to critically engage with Caribbean literature and thinkers, reflect on the impact of globalization on the region, and seek innovative solutions to address its socio-economic disparities/cultural complexities.

This is a general introduction to Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance, which explores the irony of Nationalism/Sovereignty viz-a-vis Neoliberal Globalization and International Law driven by special interests and pharisaicalism or duplicity within this competitive world. We explored this in Neoliberalism which studies the dynamics of the Global South and the Global North, Former Colonial masters and their former colonies who through international or elitist strategy have struggled to realize sustainable economic development. This is the challenge of the Caribbean and the Global South. We began the episode by sharing a video of the South African Foreign Minister who discusses in an interview on the pharisaical nature of international politics and law concerning the issue of Sovereignty, e.g. Israel was able to invade Palestine without UN and international support or sanctions but that they are ready to adjust policies and laws to support Ukrainians against Russia. We then discussed this issue briefly and share a review of the last Lecture on Caribbean Thought at Jamaica Theological Seminary where we outlay the challenges of Development. In the lecture titled "Globalization, Nationalism, and the Challenges of Jamaica's Development," by exploring the film "Life and Debt" and various historical and sociopolitical contexts, highlighting the complex interplay between globalization, nationalism, and the pursuit of sustainable development in Jamaica. Globalization has brought forth significant opportunities for growth, investment, and the transfer of knowledge and Technolgy. He recognizes that Jamaica, like many other countries, has benefited from these opportunities to some extent. The influx of tourists, foreign direct investment, and access to global markets has contributed to economic development and improved living standards for some Jamaicans. However, the influence of international financial institutions, particularly the International Monetary Fund (IMF), on Jamaica's economic policies. He mentions an ongoing IMF staff-monitored program, highlighting how the country is still adhering to the recommendations and conditions set by the IMF. This reveals the continued impact of external forces on Jamaica's economic decision-making processes, even without direct financial assistance. The socioeconomic challenges faced by Jamaica, such as violent protests, higher taxes, and escalating fuel prices. These events reflect the grievances and frustrations of the Jamaican people, particularly those burdened by poverty. The struggles for economic stability and self-sufficiency persist, with limited resources and a small land area posing additional obstacles to progress. The lecture provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of globalization, nationalism, and the challenges of Jamaica's development. It highlights both the opportunities and limitations brought about by globalization, with a particular focus on the influence of international financial institutions. As Jamaica continues its journey towards sustainable development, it must strike a delicate balance between embracing global opportunities and asserting its autonomy. By fostering a strong sense of nationalism, addressing socioeconomic disparities, and advocating for inclusive policies, Jamaica can navigate the challenges posed by globalization and shape a future that reflects the aspirations and needs of its people.

In this Lecture, McKenzie provides an insightful analysis of the impact of globalization on Jamaica and reflects on the country's current standing in the global landscape. Through an exploration of the film "Life and Debt" and various historical and sociopolitical contexts, he highlights the complex interplay between globalization, nationalism, and the pursuit of sustainable development.
Globalization and its Opportunities: McKenzie acknowledges that globalization has brought forth significant opportunities for growth, investment, and the transfer of knowledge and technology. He recognizes that Jamaica, like many other countries, has benefited from these opportunities to some extent. The influx of tourists, foreign direct investment, and access to global markets has contributed to economic development and improved living standards for some Jamaicans.
The Influence of International Financial Institutions: However, McKenzie also sheds light on the influence of international financial institutions, particularly the International Monetary Fund (IMF), on Jamaica's economic policies. He mentions an ongoing IMF staff-monitored program, highlighting how the country is still adhering to the recommendations and conditions set by the IMF. This reveals the continued impact of external forces on Jamaica's economic decision-making processes, even without direct financial assistance.
Socioeconomic Challenges: McKenzie further discusses the socioeconomic challenges faced by Jamaica, such as violent protests, higher taxes, and escalating fuel prices. These events reflect the grievances and frustrations of the Jamaican people, particularly those burdened by poverty. The struggles for economic stability and self-sufficiency persist, with limited resources and a small land area posing additional obstacles to progress.
Nationalism and Identity: The lecturer delves into the concept of nationalism and its significance in Jamaica's development. He draws attention to the juxtaposition of perspectives in "Life and Debt," where tourists are portrayed as privileged and carefree while locals are depicted as facing struggles and violence. This contrast reflects deeper issues of identity and power dynamics between visitors and Jamaican citizens, reinforcing the need for self-determination and control over their own destiny.
Reflections on Jamaica's Development: In contemplating the current state of Jamaica, McKenzie highlights the disconnection between the Jamaica portrayed in "Life and Debt" and the reality that exists today. He laments the missed opportunities and challenges the country faces in achieving its full potential. He emphasizes the importance of strategic thinking and negotiations with global institutions, urging Jamaican policymakers to prioritize the interests of their nation and people.
Conclusion: The lecture provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of globalization, nationalism, and the challenges of Jamaica's development. It highlights both the opportunities and limitations brought about by globalization, with a particular focus on the influence of international financial institutions. Through a critical examination of Jamaica's history and socio-economic landscape, McKenzie urges policymakers to prioritize national interests and engage in strategic negotiations to shape the country's future.
As Jamaica continues its journey towards sustainable development, it must strike a delicate balance between embracing global opportunities and asserting its autonomy.

If God is universal, can we contend for a theology of God that transcends culture? However, Kant said that "History is a result of the varieties of human natures and circumstances," and throughout history man has imposed an idea of God that caters to his privileges, context and goals. Muta Baruka said that God is a human creation, meaning that the way we understand God is the way human have determined that we see God, stroking human egos. Yet, Paul Tillich declared that God is man's ultimate concern and possess that internal drive which predisposes him to a reality of God that is deep which has always escaped him so that we live our lives pursuing the existence of God through worship, faith or some transcendental experience. Just as human drives lead him/her to contend with the truth of his own existence within multiple realities of time and space which extends beyond the world, he/she finds himself/herself in the outer space. Human beings are always working to discover something beyond themselves, either within or without and find themselves travelling as far as to the Moon in hopes of finding truth that extends from the limitations of life on earth or within his personal domains. Yet Descartes philosophizes that what we know for certain is not beyond the subjective. Nevertheless, Man has imposed a reality of God that is universal and objective in the hopes of advancing a life that places him or her above the rest. We say that life is about people and how they relate. Yet, life is what people make of it and human tendencies to promote self has created dynamics couched in the universal creation of a God that exceptionalizes his personal experiences and cultures and go as far as to discredit other ideas and perspectives of God that competes with his position and place in life. This has led to the Conquests and crusades and the destruction of cultures where some with a westernize theology of God created a New World in the eyes of their perspectives. The Europeans went to Africa and the Caribbean to Spread religion in the name of a God to spread religion, a particular way of life and to take away the prospects of others which they justify in that same faith thy have come to promote. Discrediting those who have found God for themselves. Walter Rodney wrote how Europe underdeveloped Africa, yet Europeans justify their efforts based in a Theology that is exceptional and one that promotes their cultures and ways over others. Was it not Balfour in Crowmer that said in English parliament in the 1600's that England knows what is best for Egypt and that if anything good came out of Egypt is a result of the English who brought religion to Africa as if what the Egyptians and Africans had were primitive or devilish. So, we speed forward today and question how our theology comes from a legacy that creates a way of life that limits any plausible resistance to domination and control for such was the strategy that led to the takeover. Using a religion from a particular space.... But Caribbean Theology critically re-examines the history of a theology that is devoid of our legacies outside of European experiences. In today's Discussion in Caribbean Theology, the students using Caribbean Theologians such as Lewin Williams, Rev. Garnette Roper et al critically examines the top-down Theology that has created these dynamics in life that has led to the position of man in the global south as against the global north and races.

This is powerful. Why? In 1947-48 (after the 1944 #UN formation where colonies were absent,) #Israel invaded and occupied Palestine and became a nation much to the protestation of #Palestine. Did the #usa support the #Palestinians against this invasion? Now #russia is invading #ukraine, is the US supporting Russia or Ukraine? Sarah Abdallah. BTW, Former PM of Jamaica #PJPatterson said "the #law is not a shackle..." This was always the case in a competitive world based in #privilege where some are above the laws and others below it. Who are those above the law? I discuss this tonight in my Lecture at #caribbeanthought Jamaica Theological Seminary and in my upcoming and 2nd academic #textbook #neoliberalglobalizationreconsidered: Neo-Capitalism and the Death of Nations and on #theneoliberalround #podcast. #trailer

Petition Campaign: CARICOM People and their Diaspora Support the Restoration of Democracy in Haiti. We, the undersigned, urgently appeal to the CARICOM Member Nations through the CARICOM Secretariat to take immediate action in assisting our brothers and sisters in Haiti in their quest to restore democracy. We implore you to remove international support for the current de facto authorities and allow a legitimate, Haitian-led solution to emerge.
In the past decade, under the leadership of the Parti Haitien Tet Kale party (PHTK) and its allies, Haiti’s democracy has been systematically dismantled. Shockingly, not a single elected office, as mandated by the Constitution, has been filled. Gangs, some of which are linked to the government, now control more than half of the country. Corruption and mismanagement have siphoned off substantial funds from public services, resulting in an alarming inflation rate of over 15% annually for the past three years. Tragically, 4.7 million Haitian citizens face acute hunger, placing Haiti among the top 10 countries suffering the most from hunger worldwide. Disturbingly, Haiti is the only nation on this list without a recognized armed conflict, and the sole country outside Africa and the Middle East.
As citizens of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), we share a deep sense of grief and compassion for our brothers and sisters in Haiti. When Haiti achieved independence in 1804, it became the first free Black country, blazing the trail for independence movements in many Caribbean nations. Haiti holds the distinction of being the first nation to abolish slavery, thereby laying the groundwork for our own emancipation.
Haiti has endured over two centuries of punishment for its pursuit of freedom, and the consequences persist to this day. Haitians have courageously fought against foreign occupation, political interference, and economic manipulation orchestrated by powerful members of the international community, many of whom attained their prominence through the institution of slavery. The current international support for the de facto Haitian government, installed not through a Haitian process but by an announcement from the “Core Group” led by the United States, represents the latest effort to maintain control over Haiti.
The people of Haiti are uniting across party lines, class divisions, and other barriers that often impede collaboration. They are proposing inclusive, legitimate paths to a transitional government that can replace the de facto authorities and oversee fair elections. They firmly believe that if the international community ceases to prop up the de facto regime, civil society can exert enough pressure to force its resignation or elicit meaningful concessions toward fair elections. Unfortunately, the United States and other entities show no inclination to reduce their support for the de facto authorities. Therefore, Haitians urgently require the assistance of Jamaica and all CARICOM.
Despite being small nations, CARICOM countries have played pivotal roles in restoring democracy in Haiti in the past. In 1994, Jamaica led the CARICOM component of UNMIH, a successful UN peacekeeping mission that was deployed to reinstate Haiti’s elected government. In 2004, Jamaica provided shelter to President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who was abducted from Haiti aboard a United States plane.
Stand up for democracy in Haiti by:
- Refusing to participate in any initiative that would support Haiti’s illegal de facto government.
- Proposing the suspension of Haiti from CARICOM’s activities until fair elections are held.
- Insisting that the OAS Working Group on Haiti, propose the implementation of the Inter-American Democratic Charter’s procedures applicable to “an unconstitutional alteration… that seriously impairs the democratic order in a member state.”

If the Caribbean is an Invention of the 20th Century, what will it be reinvented into and who will lead it in the 21st? The lecture presentation by Renaldo McKenzie, Adjunct Professor at Jamaica Theological Seminary, focused on various aspects of Caribbean thought and history. McKenzie transitioned from the concept of heritage and its connection to the Caribbean, emphasizing that there is something beyond heritage that connects the region. He mentioned Fidel Castro's identification with his Latin and African heritage. The Caribbean Reader describes the Caribbean as an invention of the 20th Century and asked what it will be reinvented into in the 21st century. But is it true that the Caribbean is an invention of the 20th century and when and where did this invention begin? What has been the consequences of this invention so that it needs to be reinvented in the 21st century? Who is responsible for this invention and if an invention in whose eyes and for whose interests? These questions are important to today's reflections and Lecture as we continue to explore Caribbean Thought within postcolonialism and within a subaltern view that uses critical thinking. The idea of this invention and the answer of its reinvention would require a critical examination of the Caribbean’s history, philosophy, theology: Caribbean Thought. Further, we must ask how far we go when exploring this invention, bearing in mind that we have concluded the Caribbean today is a set of nations states with tremendous natural resources and beauty but suffer from dependent capitalism. Independence and freedoms have not guaranteed the Pan African hope of a united free peoples with economic prosperity and competitive. In fact, some Caribbean islands depending on how they gained their nation or follow their invention, may have determine who they are today on the world stage. Haiti and Cuba suffer from poverty and being among the poorest due to embargoes, debt and structural adjustment which has not escaped other Caribbean islands. So, our study will be one that is skeptical/critical so as to recapture our peoples as part of an invented new world. The Caribbean is part of the new world, the Americas with similar experiences with mixed influences dominated by an African heritage devoid of our American Heritage. McKenzie then delved into the invention of the Caribbean, stating that some people were perplexed when he referred to it as an invention of the 20th century. He clarified that the 20th century refers to the previous century when studying history. He also challenged the notion of the Caribbean as part of the New World, claiming that it goes beyond that and extends to Africa. The professor touched on the topic of colonization and the control exerted by European powers over the Caribbean. He mentioned that colonization involves stripping away human rights and controlling people. He emphasized the development of privilege, power, and position in society and the ways in which control is exerted through language and the creation of racial categories. McKenzie discussed the impact of globalization on the Caribbean and the dismantling of national borders and economic systems. He mentioned the dominance of capitalists and the profiteers in this process. On the concept of race, asserting that it is a human creation and that the idea of race only emerged in the 1600s. McKenzie highlighted the importance of self-determination and the challenges faced by Caribbean nationalists in the face of globalization. Overall, the lecture presentation explored the complexities of Caribbean thought, touching on heritage, colonization, globalization, and the creation of racial categories. discusses various topics during a podcast session. He reflects on the response of the Caribbean region to different events and issues. He mentions the influx of Haitian refugees to Jamaica in the late 1990s and the mixed reactions from Jamaicans regarding their arrival. The NeoLiberal Corporation.

This upcoming book in the Neoliberalism series written by Renaldo McKenzie, delves into the concept of wealth and its distribution, challenging the notion that hard work and savings lead to prosperity. Renaldo argues in Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Neo-Capitalism and the Death of Nations that certain groups and regions, particularly Black and Brown people in the Global South and Global North, have been denied access to wealth due to historical exploitation and systems that devalue their labor. The book highlights the impact of neoliberalism, a privileged economic philosophy, which perpetuates the transfer of decision-making power away from working-class individuals and communities. Co-authored and prefaced by Professor Emeritus, Dr. Martin Oppenheimer, it takes an academic and interdisciplinary approach.... It builds upon the previous work on neoliberalism but expands its scope to explore the importance of cinema, globalization, and the position of Black and Brown people in the world. The author revisits Marxism and Capitalism, analyzing how systems are changing and whose interests they serve. Resistance and the fight for change are also examined, alongside the potential of digital technology to challenge violence and discrimination. The book aims to provide deeper insights into the struggle for independence and true freedom. In “Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered,” the prevailing motif of the Caribbean as a paradise is questioned, emphasizing its dependence and vulnerability as states detached from their people. This is a continuation of the considerations in Neoliberalism book 1 entitled, Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance. The realities of the Global South and the black position in the world are explored, considering the historical strategies of the dominant class to attain supernormal profit through neo-capitalistic systems. The book critically examines the socio-economic history and current dynamics of the global north and south, questioning the efficacy of resistance and Pan-African integration. The changing power dynamics of the neoliberal globalized world are analyzed, and opportunities for future transformation are discussed. The book also addresses the issue of power and privilege, highlighting how former colonial masters shape the independence of former colonies to maintain their dominance. The driving forces behind neoliberal globalization, neo-capitalism, and pseudo-communism are explored, revealing the hegemony of the master through international organizations such as the WTO and the World Bank. The book references specific examples to illustrate the suppression of new nations and the realization of their own visions.... From Artificial Intelligence that opines the end of life transforming the dialectic of whether we live to work or work to live, and the value of a society based on work and any corresponding value from that which allows the dynamics of life based in privilege. To question who really rules the world? US, UN or China and Russia and their strategic alliance and interference in a world driven by greed and nepotism which China has spared no time capitalizing on as they use this knowledge strategically to their advantage to direct American policy through US corporations driven by their bottom line.... Overall, Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, seeks to challenge prevailing narratives and explore the complex realities of wealth, power, and independence in a global context. It aims to provide a critical analysis of the socio-economic dynamics that shape the lives of people in the global north, the global south, and the black and brown communities.
The book will be published by The NeoLiberal Corporation by late August 2023 and is copyrighted by Renaldo McKenzie.

If we are to believe that all individuals are created equal and that civil rights and freedoms are now extended to all, it begs the question: why is Affirmative Action still necessary to ensure inclusion and equity in institutions and American society? This prompts us to reflect on whether we have truly progressed and achieved genuine equality and inclusion. While Affirmative Action was never intended to be a permanent solution, it served as a steppingstone towards fostering diversity and inclusion. However, there are those who misuse Affirmative Action to discredit the hard work and accomplishments of the few who have benefited from it, asserting that their success is solely attributed to preferential treatment. The essence of Affirmative Action lies in its ability to provide access to the best minds from marginalized groups who may otherwise be disadvantaged. Affirmative Action addresses the reality that privilege can buy high SAT scores and secure admissions into prestigious colleges, while vulnerable groups lack such advantages. Recent incidents involving celebrities and individuals with special interests manipulating the college admission system highlight the coordinated efforts between testing administrators, certain schools, and wealthy individuals. If the privileged few continue to exploit their advantages and cheat the system, thus leapfrogging ahead of less privileged individuals, it becomes clear that Affirmative Action remains a crucial tool. De facto and de jure discriminatory practices persist in our society, undermining equality and inclusion. Real estate appraisals that vary based on the property owner's race, biased hiring practices in certain institutions that favor specific cultures, and disparities in how we police, prosecute, and distribute capital exemplify these ongoing forms of discrimination. The decision by the US Supreme Court to terminate Affirmative Action was premature, as it failed to consider the laws that safeguard equity, equality, and diversity, which are fundamental tenets of the US Constitution. Affirmative Action aligns with the constitutional ideal of ensuring that "All Men Are Made Free" and promotes equality. Our nation has not consistently upheld these principles, as some continue to impede equity and inclusion. Those who have endured years of discrimination are still grappling with the absence of generational wealth and opportunities required to compete and achieve the American dream. The political decision to abolish Affirmative Action disregards the progress made by individuals and their families who were minimally included in society through this program. It effectively erases years of advancement and undermines the potential for future inclusivity. Affirmative Action, while imperfect, has been an instrumental force in creating opportunities for those who have historically been marginalized. Affirmative Action, although not intended as a permanent solution, plays a vital role in advancing true equality and inclusion. Its purpose is to rectify historical disparities and provide opportunities for marginalized groups to thrive. While progress has been made, the persistence of discrimination, privilege, and the unequal distribution of wealth and opportunities necessitates the continuation of Affirmative Action. To fully realize the American dream, we must recognize the ongoing significance of Affirmative Action and work towards a future where all individuals have equal access to success and prosperity.

In this episode of the series, Castro reports that Judge Aileen Cannon has dismissed the case ruling that he lacks "standing and therefore the court does not have jurisdiction." However, Castro reveals that this was one outcome that was expected as the plan was to appeal all the way to the US Supreme Court. In fact, he broke the news that he has already filed an appeal at the 11th circuit court this past Monday June 26th, 2023, and that he anticipates a ruling by the end of September 2023. Whatever the ruling, the case is sure to head to the US Supreme Court. Moreover, he indicated that he will be requesting the 11th Circuit Court to rescuse Judge Cannon from presiding over any cases involving Mr. Donald Trump.
Dr. Nolan Fontaine, also joined as a guest on the show to pose some questions he had for Mr. Castro. Dr. Nolan is also President and founder of the Urban Indian Heritage Society.
A transcript of the episode will be available in The NeoLiberal Journals at and The NeoLiberal Post.

[Podcast Intro Music]
Renaldo: Welcome to another episode of The NeoLiberal Round Podcast Series: Castro V Trump! I'm your host, Renaldo McKenzie, and today we have a very special guest with us, John A. Castro, the GOP Presidential Candidate for 2024 and President of AI Tax and Castro and Co. Welcome, John!
[John Castro's introduction]
Host: We also have Dr. Nolan Fontaine joining us today. He's been following our shows closely and has some questions for you, John. Welcome, Dr. Fontaine!
[Dr. Fontaine's introduction]
Host: Fantastic! Let's jump right into it. John, the first question is regarding Judge Cannon's recusal. Could you give us an update on that situation?
Update on Judge Cannon's recusal Renaldo: Now, let's talk about the next steps for the trial. Have there been any rulings yet, and where do we go from here?
Next steps for the trial: Any ruling yet, where do we go from here? Renaldo: Speaking of legal matters, Donald Trump's indictment has been making headlines. Do you believe it'll have any effect on this case?
Donald Trump's indictment and whether it affects this case Renaldo: Turning our attention to the events of January 6th, there have been significant investigations by the FBI/DHS. Could you share your comments on their findings?
Comment on the FBI/DHS on January 6th Renaldo: Moving on to the political landscape, what is your outlook for 2024? How do you see the political climate shaping up?
The outlook for 2024 politically Renaldo: Let's shift gears a bit and address the topic of judges and appointments. What are your thoughts on this issue?
Judges and appointments Renaldo: Now, Dr. Fontaine, I believe you have some questions for John Castro. Please go ahead.
Dr. Fontaine's Questions for John Castro: • Gerald Horne (2020) has an interesting theory called “imperialist bow out” where imperialist countries who are hemorrhaging revenue due to military expenditures, exit or bow out of that military engagement. • Trump had an interesting je ne sais quoi at pushing admin state leadership, facilitating a troop withdrawal plan & peace talks for endless wars/occupations (ex: N. Korea, Germany, Afghanistan) • To Castro- what is your policy directive & troop withdrawal plan for additional illegal wars in Europe, Middle East & Africa? • How do you plan to cut military discretionary spending/proper oversight over the military budget? • Do you support selective service for women? Why/why not? Renaldo: Thank you, Dr. Fontaine, for those insightful questions. And thank you, John Castro, for being here with us today.

Tonight, we bring you a special report on the Wagner Group, a private military company that has been making headlines for its footprints and influence around the world. In an astonishing turn of events, the group's leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, declared an all-out war on the Russian state, throwing Vladimir Putin's government and Ukraine war effort into crisis mode. But the Wagner Group's activities extend far beyond Ukraine and Russia.
According to the Soufan Center, the Wagner Group has been militarily or politically active in numerous countries, with a particular focus on Africa. They function like a Swiss army knife, providing not only military training and combat operations but also advising government leadership on political issues and conducting information campaigns. However, their actions pose a catch-22 situation, where they stabilize fragile states but also invite further instability, creating more demand for their services.
Wagner's involvement goes beyond security services. They are reportedly involved in illicit activities such as supporting sanctions evasion and trafficking and destruction of cultural property. In Africa, Wagner has become an extension of Moscow's foreign policy and influence, displacing Western presence and discrediting counterterrorism partners and peacekeeping missions. Their brutality and support for predatory governments could exacerbate conditions exploited by violent extremist groups.
The future of the Wagner Group remains uncertain after the mutiny and negotiations mediated by Belarus. Their legacy, however, has already entrenched the use of private military companies by Russia, proving successful in various ways. With their ability to raise funds, deploy effectively, and evade sanctions, Russia is likely to continue expanding the use of such companies.
But how did this mutiny unfold, and what does it mean for Russia and the international community? Let's dive into the details. On June 23, 2023, Yevgeny Prigozhin led a convoy of mercenaries on a march toward Moscow, declaring a war against the Russian state. The mutiny, which caught the Russian military off guard, escalated rapidly and ended abruptly, leaving confusion in its wake. After storming through towns in southern Russia, Wagner troops returned to their field camps following negotiations mediated by Belarus.
The mutiny had been building over months due to grievances related to the war in Ukraine. Prigozhin blamed the Russian military for corruption and greed, alleging that the war was a racket to enrich the Russian elite. The mutiny was further fueled by an order that would compel Wagner fighters to sign a formal contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense. Putin labeled the mutiny treasonous and vowed punishment for those involved.
While Wagner has gained prominence with its involvement in conflicts worldwide, including Ukraine, Syria, and Africa, its effectiveness should not be overstated. It has suffered defeats and faced international scrutiny for alleged human rights abuses. However, its presence as a quasi-state force operating in complex conflict zones poses challenges for international peace and security efforts. The lack of clarity in how to treat Wagner and its connection to the Russian state further escalates tensions between Russia and the West.
In this special report, we explore the Wagner Group's history, its organizational structure, its operations globally, and its implications for peace and security efforts. We also discuss policy recommendations for containing and countering Wagner's activities.
That concludes our introductory segment on the Wagner Group. Stay tuned for the next part of this special report, where we delve deeper into the group's origins and its relationship with the Russian state. Visit us at https://renaldocmckenzie.com for the transcripts.

I am excited about this teaching experience on Caribbean Theology from a postcolonial view. We continue to contextualize and conceptualize Theology from a critical and subaltern perspective when we met for the Caribbean Theology session summer semester with a group of students doing independent studies. We highlighted the challenge of history and thought where Kant had asserted that history is a result of the varieties of human natures and circumstances which has given to a religion of privilege. What is Caribbean Theology? Caribbean Theology seeks to address the spiritual, social, and economic challenges faced by the Caribbean people. It recognizes the region's history of colonization, slavery, and ongoing socio-economic disparities, and seeks to offer a theological response that speaks to the lived experiences of Caribbean people. Some of the key themes and perspectives within Caribbean Theology include: 1. Contextualization: Caribbean Theology emphasizes the importance of engaging with the specific cultural, historical, and social realities of the Caribbean context. It seeks to bridge the gap between theology and the everyday experiences of Caribbean people. 2. Liberation Theology: Influenced by the broader liberation theology movement, Caribbean Theology places a particular emphasis on the liberation and empowerment of the marginalized and oppressed. It highlights the need for social justice, equality, and the dismantling of oppressive structures in Caribbean society. 3. Afro-Caribbean Spirituality: Caribbean Theology recognizes and incorporates the rich spiritual traditions of the Afro-Caribbean population, including elements of African religions, Christianity, and syncretic practices. It acknowledges the spiritual resilience and creative expressions of faith within the Caribbean context. 4. Identity and Cultural Reclamation: Caribbean Theology encourages the affirmation and reclamation of Caribbean cultural identity. It recognizes the importance of valuing and preserving Caribbean traditions, languages, music, and art as integral aspects of Caribbean spirituality. 5. Community and Communal Ethics: Caribbean Theology emphasizes the communal nature of Caribbean society and promotes a sense of community, solidarity, and collective responsibility. It calls for a reorientation towards social and economic practices that prioritize the well-being of the entire community. It's important to note that Caribbean Theology is a diverse and evolving field, with different theologians contributing their unique perspectives. The works of Caribbean Theologians such as, Lewin Williams and Garnet Roper, provide specific insights into their understanding of Caribbean Theology within the context of Jamaica. Finally, the course this semester will include my contribution and thinking surrounding this topic and the issue of Power and Privilege. This is vital as Caribbean Theology is a complex and multifaceted field of study that explores the intersection of spirituality, culture, and the unique historical experiences of the Caribbean region. It seeks to understand and address the issues of power, privilege, and status that have shaped Caribbean society and its theological landscape.
The Session took place via Zoom and the course is offered at Jamaica Theological Seminary from 7pm - 10pm Tuesdays and Wednesdays US ET time. The Session is facilitated by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie, Adjunct Lecturer at Jamaica Theological Seminary and author of Neoliberalism and the upcoming book, Neoliberal Globalization reconsidered, Neo-Capitalism and the Death of Nations.

On this Juneteenth, we reflect on and commemorate the Emancipation Proclamation in the United States. Reverend Renaldo McKenzie opened the lecture by acknowledging the significance of this day and shared a post emphasizing the importance of reflecting on the emancipation of slavery, which led to universal suffrage and human rights in the US, on this Juneteenth. He also drew attention to the ongoing struggle for these same rights in Haiti and urged the audience to sign the petition for Haiti, advocating for a Haitian-led solution against foreign interference.
The lecture commenced with a focus on the Urban Indian Heritage Society (UIHS) and their contribution to the discussion of lineage and heritage, which are central topics in Caribbean Thought. The concept of identity holds immense importance in this field of study, considering the Caribbean region's diverse amalgamation of races and ethnicities. Reverend McKenzie highlighted that the Caribbean itself is a construct of the 20th century, and as we venture into the 21st century, he raised the question of how we can redefine and reconstruct ourselves as a people.
Tracing the historical roots of the Caribbean presents a challenge, and Reverend McKenzie posed the question of where to begin: with the Arawaks or the Africans? Acknowledging that the Caribbean is an invention, he recognized the arrival of Europeans and African slaves as a transformative event that brought about significant demographic changes in the region. The population of Africans eventually surpassed that of Europeans and the indigenous peoples.
Reverend McKenzie then redirected the audience's attention to the UIHS and their presentation on lineage and heritage. The core issue at hand was the reclamation of one's heritage, which forms an integral part of Caribbean Theology and Caribbean Thought as a whole. Emphasizing the importance of heritage and the development of individual identities, he reiterated that the Caribbean, while shaped by colonialism and capitalism, also possesses wealth and richness through its diverse cultural heritage.
Caribbean Theology, as discussed in the lecture, centers around restoration, which can be achieved by preserving and reclaiming one's identity. Reverend McKenzie highlighted how the preservation of heritage played a crucial role in Israel's reclamation of their property, as they were able to trace their lineage effectively. Conversely, he lamented that the systematic strategy of misclassifying and erasing a people's heritage has corrupted Caribbean identities over time. However, he expressed optimism as the UIHS is currently engaged in new research based on forensics and epidemiological studies to uncover and rectify these misclassifications.
The presentation by the UIHS would shed light on their ongoing work regarding lineage and heritage, specifically focusing on Jamaican and Caribbean genealogy. The Reverend also mentioned that the students would have the opportunity to share their own roots based on their assignments, allowing them to explore and connect with their individual heritages.
In conclusion, the opening of the lecture at Jamaica Theological Seminary provided a platform for Reverend Renaldo McKenzie to set the stage for a discussion on Caribbean Thought, identity, and heritage. The inclusion of the UIHS and their research on lineage and heritage further enriched the dialogue, highlighting the importance of reclaiming and preserving one's cultural identity as a means of restoration and empowerment within the Caribbean context.

Introduction: In a thought-provoking lecture at Jamaica Theological Seminary in Caribbean Thought, the exploration of Caribbean history from a subaltern perspective took center stage. The aim was to trace and revisit the currents and works that have shaped the Caribbean region since the seminal publication of "Arawaks to Africans" by Robert Green and S. Hamber in 1979. This lecture not only presented an outline of influential Caribbean works and thinkers but also delved into their influences, emphasizing the profound impact they have had on the development of Caribbean life, philosophy, thought, and the interpretation of its history.
Questioning Narratives: Greenwood's Accounts and European Influence
The lecture began by questioning the accounts put forth by Robert Green in "Arawaks to Africans." Greenwood's narrative, which seemingly portrays the Taino people as disconnected from Africans and their presence in the Caribbean, raised concerns about the influence of European history and philosophy on his interpretation of history. It challenged the notion that the Taino people had been completely wiped out and dismissed any connection they might have had with Africans.
A Skeptical Outlook and Critical Re-examination:
The lecture urged attendees to critically examine Greenwood's accounts and approach them with a skeptical mindset. It emphasized the need to reassess our understanding of history to reinvent ourselves in the 21st century. By challenging prevailing narratives, we can uncover hidden connections, untold stories, and alternative perspectives that offer a more comprehensive understanding of Caribbean history and its people.
Influential Caribbean Works and Thinkers:
The lecture also provided an illuminating list of Caribbean works and thinkers whose contributions have shaped the region and influenced its trajectory. By exploring these influential voices, the lecture aimed to shed light on the rich intellectual heritage that has been instrumental in defining Caribbean life, philosophy, thought, and historical interpretation. The expanded information about their influences served as a testament to their enduring impact and relevance.
The Importance of Reconnecting with History:
Revisiting Caribbean history from a subaltern perspective is vital for the Caribbean community's self-reinvention and progress. By reevaluating and critically analyzing the narratives that have shaped our understanding of the past, we can challenge dominant paradigms and empower marginalized voices. Only through this reconnection with history can we forge a stronger, more inclusive identity that embraces the complexities of our shared heritage.
Conclusion:
The lecture on the subaltern view of Caribbean history provided a compelling platform to reexamine the region's past. By critically questioning established narratives, particularly those influenced by European history and philosophy, attendees were encouraged to challenge prevailing assumptions and explore alternative perspectives. The outlined list of influential Caribbean works and thinkers showcased the profound impact these voices have had on shaping Caribbean life, philosophy, thought, and historical interpretation. Ultimately, this lecture highlighted the importance of critically reevaluating our history to reinvent ourselves in the 21st century and forge a more inclusive and nuanced understanding of the Caribbean's rich cultural tapestry.

Introduction: In a thought-provoking lecture at Jamaica Theological Seminary in Caribbean Thought, the exploration of Caribbean history from a subaltern perspective took center stage. The aim was to trace and revisit the currents and works that have shaped the Caribbean region since the seminal publication of "Arawaks to Africans" by Robert Green and S. Hamber in 1979. This lecture not only presented an outline of influential Caribbean works and thinkers but also delved into their influences, emphasizing the profound impact they have had on the development of Caribbean life, philosophy, thought, and the interpretation of its history.
Questioning Narratives: Greenwood's Accounts and European Influence: The lecture began by questioning the accounts put forth by Robert Greenwood in "Arawaks to Africans." Greenwood's narrative, which seemingly portrays the Taino people as disconnected from Africans and their presence in the Caribbean, raised concerns about the influence of European history and philosophy on his interpretation of history. It challenged the notion that the Taino people had been completely wiped out and dismissed any connection they might have had with Africans.
A Skeptical Outlook and Critical Re-examination: The lecture urged attendees to critically examine Greenwood's accounts and approach them with a skeptical mindset. It emphasized the need to reassess our understanding of history to reinvent ourselves in the 21st century. By challenging prevailing narratives, we can uncover hidden connections, untold stories, and alternative perspectives that offer a more comprehensive understanding of Caribbean history and its people. Influential Caribbean Works and Thinkers: The lecture also provided an illuminating list of Caribbean works and thinkers whose contributions have shaped the region and influenced its trajectory. By exploring these influential voices, the lecture aimed to shed light on the rich intellectual heritage that has been instrumental in defining Caribbean life, philosophy, thought, and historical interpretation. The expanded information about their influences served as a testament to their enduring impact and relevance.
The Importance of Reconnecting with History: Revisiting Caribbean history from a subaltern perspective is vital for the Caribbean community's self-reinvention and progress. By reevaluating and critically analyzing the narratives that have shaped our understanding of the past, we can challenge dominant paradigms and empower marginalized voices. Only through this reconnection with history can we forge a stronger, more inclusive identity that embraces the complexities of our shared heritage.
Conclusion: The lecture on the subaltern view of Caribbean history provided a compelling platform to reexamine the region's past. By critically questioning established narratives, particularly those influenced by European history and philosophy, attendees were encouraged to challenge prevailing assumptions and explore alternative perspectives. The outlined list of influential Caribbean works and thinkers showcased the profound impact these voices have had on shaping Caribbean life, philosophy, thought, and historical interpretation. Ultimately, this lecture highlighted the importance of critically reevaluating our history to reinvent ourselves in the 21st century and forge a more inclusive and nuanced understanding of the Caribbean's rich cultural tapestry.

Turning Points for Children's Community Umbrella Agency (CUA) CYS program is being terminated due to mounting legal and insurance challenges, as revealed by David Fair, Deputy Chief at the organization.
In a recent interview with Renaldo McKenzie of The NeoLiberal Round Podcast, David Fair, Deputy Chief at Turning Points for Children, announced the termination of its Community Umbrella Agency (CUA) CYS program. This decision comes in the wake of mounting challenges faced by the child welfare agency, including legal and insurance obstacles.
According to David Fair, "we're discontinuing the CUAs as of August 2023... We can no longer afford the insurance. The insurance costs are in the seven figures, and DHS won't reimburse. It's a complex situation. They [DHS] have immunity because they are government, so we're the ones who get sued even when they are at fault. The insurance costs are in the seven figures, and DHS won't reimburse. It's a complicated story."
The program has faced escalating lawsuits and insurance claims, making it financially unsustainable. Turning Points' liability of $10 million, significantly higher than the typical cap of $500,000, increased the financial risks. Disputes between Turning Points and the Department of Human Services (DHS) over decision-making authority have also complicated matters. To ensure continuity of care, Turning Points will transfer its core services to other community agencies. This decision highlights the unforeseen legal issues faced by child welfare agencies and the need to balance accountability with the crucial work of organizations like Turning Points. Efforts to secure legislative immunity faced opposition from trial lawyers. Collaborative efforts are required to address the complex legal and insurance challenges faced by the child welfare system.
The cessation of Turning Points' CUA CYS program serves as a sobering reminder of the challenges encountered by child welfare agencies. Fair acknowledged that the architects of the community umbrella agencies did not foresee the magnitude of legal issues that would arise. While the intention was to safeguard agencies from lawsuits, unscrupulous lawyers exploited the system, specifically targeting child welfare organizations in pursuit of significant settlements. Attempts to secure legislative immunity, similar to that granted to DHS, were met with resistance from trial lawyers concerned about the potential financial implications.
As the child welfare system grapples with these complex legal and insurance challenges, it becomes increasingly crucial to strike a balance that ensures accountability while safeguarding the vital work performed by organizations like Turning Points for Children. The protection of vulnerable children and families remains paramount, demanding collaborative efforts to address these issues effectively.

Coming up Later on The Podcast: Breaking News: Social service organizations that operate the Community Umbrella Agencies (CUAs) are at an impasse with the Department of Human Services (DHS) in Philadelphia; the government's super agency that oversees and fund the CYS programs.
In fact, some social service organizations are abandoning their CUA programs over an insurance requirement which the CUA's can't meet given limited funding and recent legal claims that they must pay out.
One agency chief said: "we're giving up the CUAs as of August 2023...We can't afford the insurance.... The insurance costs are in the seven figures and DHS won't reimburse. It's a complicated story. They [DHS] have immunity because they are government, so we're the ones who get sued even when they made the error. The insurance costs are in the seven figures and DHS won't reimburse. It's a complicated story.
David went on to reveal to us that "all four of our CUAs are being transferred to new agencies. Three will move as of August 1st and the fourth around Labor Day." David Fair, Deputy Chief of Turning Point for Children (TP4C).
We will have David Fair on The Neoliberal Round later today talking about the state of child welfare (part 2).

The Neoliberal Corporation May 23 - Title: Unlocking Divine Intervention: Unveiling the Secrets: Summary: In this episode of The Neoliberal Round with Renaldo McKenzie, we explore the concept of divine intervention and its practical applications in our lives. Renaldo shares personal stories and insights that shed light on the ways in which prayer and faith can unlock God's intervention. Drawing from his experiences as a former pastor and theologian, Renaldo emphasizes the importance of understanding God's plans and the greater purposes behind His interventions.
We begin with a powerful encounter Renaldo had while walking down Musgrave Street in Germantown, Philadelphia. Through a chance meeting, he discovered an opportunity to support a young writer in need while also advancing his own goals. This encounter showcases how prayer and faith can lead us to unexpected connections and opportunities.
Renaldo then recounts a conversation with his uncle, Bishop Rev. Lipton McKenzie, who shared a compelling story of divine intervention. In the face of struggling business circumstances, his uncle received a message from God urging him to sell the company. This decision, though initially puzzling, proved to be a blessing in disguise when the COVID-19 pandemic struck. Renaldo highlights the lesson that sometimes divine intervention takes us on unexpected paths for a greater purpose.
Throughout the episode, Renaldo emphasizes that divine intervention is not limited to any particular religious tradition but is accessible to all who seek a higher power. He shares insights and principles to help listeners unlock divine intervention in their own lives.
Join us in this enlightening discussion on The Neoliberal Round as Renaldo McKenzie explores the secrets to unlocking divine intervention and invites us to embrace the transformative power of faith, prayer, and God's guiding hand.

In a groundbreaking development, former President Donald Trump has been indicted on several federal charges related to his handling of classified documents. Assigned to oversee the initial stages of the case is U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a judge appointed by Trump himself. This news has sparked intense interest and raised concerns about potential biases and delays in the legal process.
The indictment against Trump comes in the wake of the FBI's seizure of over 100 documents with classified markings from Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in August 2022. Despite vehemently denying any wrongdoing, Trump's fate now rests in the hands of the justice system. However, questions arise about the impartiality of Judge Cannon, given her direct appointment by Trump and the potential for a more favorable judicial environment in Florida.
Court documents and insider sources have confirmed that Judge Aileen Cannon will be presiding over the initial proceedings of the case. This development has prompted discussions about the potential impact of a Trump-appointed judge on the fairness and integrity of the trial. Skepticism regarding the objectivity of judges in cases involving influential political figures or individuals with connections has become prevalent in recent times.
The concerns surrounding Judge Cannon extend beyond her current assignment. In August 2022, her decision to restrict the FBI's use of the seized classified documents during the investigation garnered significant attention from legal experts and scholars. The subsequent delay in the investigation and legal proceedings prompted an 11th Circuit Court of Appeals panel to overturn Judge Cannon's order, citing her overstepping of jurisdiction in the probe. The incident serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between judicial authority and law enforcement imperatives, particularly in high-profile cases.
Furthermore, Judge Cannon is currently presiding over the Castro v. Trump lawsuit, where John Anthony Castro, a GOP 2024 Presidential Candidate, is suing Trump for alleged violations of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Castro asserts that Trump's actions supporting the January 6th Insurrectionists render him ineligible to hold the presidency. However, concerns have arisen regarding Judge Cannon's handling of this case as well. In an interview with Renaldo McKenzie on The Neoliberal Round Podcast and as part of The Neoliberal Corporation Moral Magazine's Castro V Trump Series, Castro accused Judge Cannon of deliberate delays and filing difficulties. In response, Castro has recently filed a Writ of Mandamus, urging the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to dismiss Judge Cannon and recuse her from the case, citing partiality, bias, and intentional trial delays.
Complicating matters further is Trump's strategic relocation to Florida, where he has appointed surrogates, including judges, in key positions. This strategic move raises suspicions of potential favoritism and an advantageous legal environment for Trump. Critics argue that such maneuvers undermine accountability and obstruct justice without repercussions.
As former President Donald Trump faces potential legal hurdles, the impartiality and fairness of Judge Aileen Cannon in overseeing the case are under intense scrutiny. The delays and perceived biases in the ongoing Castro v. Trump lawsuit add to concerns about the integrity of the legal process. Stay updated on the latest developments by following The Neoliberal Round Podcast with Renaldo McKenzie, and for comprehensive coverage, read the forthcoming transcripts in The Neoliberal Corporation Moral Magazine.
Renaldo McKenzie, Author of Neoliberalism, President of The Neoliberal Corporation, and Editor-In-Chief at The Neoliberal Corporation Moral Magazine, will provide in-depth analysis and arguments on the case.

The Urban Indian Heritage Society is shaking up the understanding of American families' heritage with groundbreaking research. In their upcoming presentation at The Jamaica Theological Seminary's Caribbean Thought class, the UIHS will challenge conventional beliefs about Jamaica's identity and heritage, particularly concerning the Taino people, who were the island's original inhabitants.
Contrary to popular belief, the UIHS argues that Jamaicans may have a rich history linked to the native Indians of the land. While acknowledging the presence of East Indians and Chinese who arrived during the era of indentured labor, the UIHS stresses the importance of reexamining Jamaica's history beyond the predominant African heritage resulting from the slave trade.
Dr. Nolan Fontaine, and author Phoenix Moon, founders of the UIHS, will lead the presentation and share their research findings. They contend that genealogical research uncovers an urban American Indian root in Jamaica, challenging the established narrative of the island's history.
In addition to their research, the UIHS has organized a petition titled "Remedy for the Misclassified People of North America!" This petition calls for the enactment of the American Indian Inclusion Act to address the mistreatment and erasure of the Misclassified American Indian by the United States Government. The petition outlines a comprehensive set of demands, including the reclassification of ethnic birthrights, the return of occupied American Indian lands, restitution, punitive damages, and institutional reform.
Key demands in the petition include establishing a genealogical committee to examine bloodline lineage, creating an oversight committee for tribal membership appeals, and recognizing the American Indian Political Party. The petition also seeks the removal of taxation on American Indian lands, the repeal of HR 4238, special reform bills for social services and education, and the implementation of American Indian studies throughout educational institutions.
To garner attention for their cause, the UIHS will present the petition and a detailed manifesto of grievances to the United States Congress. They are calling for public hearings and the formation of oversight committees to review and implement the American Indian Inclusion Act, with the aim of rectifying historical injustices faced by the misclassified American Indian.
The UIHS's special presentation at The Jamaica Theological Seminary's Caribbean Thought class is scheduled for Monday, June 12th, 2023, from 6 pm to 9 pm. The presentation can be accessed via the following link: Zoom Link.
Join Dr. Nolan Fontaine, Phoenix Moon, and the Urban Indian Heritage Society as they challenge the misclassification of American families' heritage and illuminate Jamaica's rich history.

Dear Editor, I am writing to explore the topic of Jamaica's identity and heritage, specifically in relation to the Taino people who were the original inhabitants of our land. While acknowledging the presence of East Indians and Chinese who arrived during the era of indentured labor after the abolition of slavery in 1865, the majority of the population, comprising individuals with black or brown skin, is believed to have African ancestry following the eradication of the Arawakan Indians by the Spanish. This sets Jamaica apart from other Spanish-occupied West Indian islands like Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Belize, and Surinam, which retained a small native Indian population despite the Spanish invasion.

breakingnews: The misclassification of #urbanindians is said to be the biggest conspiracy and might be a most pivotal RICO (Racketeering) case in #americanhistory. That's according to Dr. Nolan Fontaine, one of the founding members of The Indian Urban Heritage Society. He joins us on this powerful episode with Author, Activist and President of The Society, Phoenix Moon to discuss this quintessential issue on The NeoLiberal Round in video and audio podcast. In fact, the #UrbanIndianheritagesociety https://theurbanindianheritagesociety.org, is seeking to set the record straight about our families' histories...and right to participate in the process of our own restitution and restoration. Hence, they've organized a #petition for the #PassageoftheAmericanIndianInclusionAct. We discuss not #NorthAmerica but the #Americas including the #WestIndies.

BreakingNews: ➤ John Anthony Castro is suing #donaldtrump over his role in the #january6insurrection. #StewartRhodes has been convicted of #seditiousconspiracy and sentenced to 18 years in prison by a Federal Judge #amitmehta for his role in the #January6insurrection or attack against the capital. While he didn't participate directly in the violence, he played a pivotal role in sparking it and encouraged others. This is no different from what #JohnAnthonyCastro, main plaintiff and US 2024 GOP Presidential Candidate is arguing and suing #DonaldTrump over in the #CastroVTrump Lawsuit. As such, this may provide some jurisdiction, precedence and a legal argument in his suit against Trump. John A Castro joins me on the show to provide an update on the trial in part 3 of the series. He discusses how Judge Cannon was not recuse from the trial but that he will submit anther "Writ of Mandamus" on June 5th to the 11th district court to have her recused again, but this will be a 30-dayrequest and not 90 as before. He is requesting the writ against her as she continues to delay ruling on this case. Moreover, he revealed that the FEC has delisted him as candidate, even though, they do not have jurisdiction to do so as established by the previous trial against the FEC. The ruling was that the FEC can only make determinations on campaign financing and cannot decide on anyone's candidacy. Castro reiterated that he is a registered Presidential Candidate and will run in the New Hampshire Primary. Castro also discusses Ron DeSantis challenges and his hopes of capturing the MAGA base. Finally, we talked about taxes and his revolutionary idea developed into his company #aitax a tax software that uses artificial intelligence since 2017, which he has exclusive patent over. The interview was powerful and ended on a high note as he provided us with his next steps on the campaign and what's to come with the Castro V Trump trial. On a lighter note, I asked John about his other passion, outside of his wife Joanna. He shared his love for Gardening and how it provides catharsis.

Questions: 1. Is Social Media Causing Mental Health Issues in Children and Adolescents? 2. Can DeSantis Win if he is seen as Anti-diversity and Anti-black? Is AI the end of Schools? Today, Donte, Co-host and Producer and I discuss these topics as they are hot button issues in America today.
Firstly, on social media: There is data circulating about the dangers of social media as it increases MH in children which was reported on Fox News Live earlier today. However, it is not true and a skewed data about #socialmedia causing increasing #mentalhealth issues for children and teens. That data does not take into account how people's views about mental health is changing so more people are coming forward saying that they have #mh issues. The stigma around #MH is diminishing and with social media and information there is actually more awareness and less myths around mental health so that more people are acknowledging their mental health.
Secondly, Ron DeSantis is getting set to announce his Presidential bid on Twitter in a Live interview with Elon Musk. What chances does DeSantis have of winning? According to a story in Rolling Stones: "... No One Is Afraid of Ron DeSantis..." (https://rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/ron-desantis-2024-presidential-campaign-donald-trump-mike-pence-unafraid-1234738569/)They are right, as he gets ready to announce his presidential bid. There is no way that #desantis can win. He is seen an anti-inclusive and anti-diversity. He has attacked black academics and Disney. In my opinion he has lost the #blackvote with "anti-woke" policies as if diversity and inclusivity is woke. Many black Americans are incensed by his policies which he has boldly promoted as if he is not gonna run for President. realJohnACastro tweeted the story earlier today and I will have him on the The Neoliberal Round Podcast later this week talking Castro V Trump, DeSantis and The Presidential Race as he gets ready to beef up his presidential bid.
Thirdly, Is Artificial Intelligence the new way to plagiarize with confidence? Maybe we should think about creating a software to track AI footprints for institutions so as to minimize the possibility. We may have to set final exams instead of take-home papers and research. Maybe AI is the end of schools and institutions and some industries. School was needed for learning. Now we have the technology to replace schools and certain work. Yet we are still requiring huge sums of money and schooling that technology have made unnecessary. The way we think about systems must change! Indeed, we will have problems such as plagiarism etc. if we do not rethink requirements for students and even how we train and develop people. Just as Elon Musk wants a redesign of roadways to facilitate fully functioning self-driving cars, schools must redesign learning systems.

What is hard money lending? Raymond Dingle Jr. explains on the Podcast and details the support that his Lending business offers to small businesses. As a Lending Insider, Former Bank Executive, Broker and Financial Analyst, he explains the importance of investing in assets, and not relying on 401-k and credit as credit is thin air. He explains that Money was backed by gold, but after the 1970's, the US dollar no longer had that backing and survives off its reputation. In fact, he discusses the attempts by BRIC countries to weaken the US dollar by jettisoning the US dollar for the cryptocurrency and imposing on others to do so. Essentially, they are trying to make the US dollar a tertiary currency/note. Nevertheless, Mr. Dingle reassures us that the US dollar will remain strong but may lose some value. One of the reasons is that we are heavy spenders.
He reveals inside information about how the banks sweeps money every night after they conclude business. Yet they charge such high fees.
We have a poll question? Will the US dollar become tertiary currency based on BRIC's attempts to weaken the dollar by disposing of the US dollar for the Cryptocurrency? Participate on our Twitter Page: #renaldomckenzie or Spotify Community page.

Mentoring is a relational experience when one invests their talent and resources in another so as to empower others to reproduce in others what has been produced in them. It is part of succession planning for organizations but also families, cultures and life in general. While being mentored by Rev. Courtney Richards, head of RENEWED, a leadership, discipleship and international missions' movement, I was introduced to the concept and experience of mentoring. This was about 22 years ago while I was living and studying in Jamaica at The Jamaica Theological Seminary. Since then, evolved from RENEWED but continued to empower others, utilizing the skills and resources I had garnered under the tutelage of Rev. Courtney, himself a Professor, Clinician, Pastor and Mentor who had returned to Jamaica to share what he had learned with us. He too was part of John Maxwell and Tim Elmore leadership development and discipleship training, and he took that and developed it into an international experience and exported it to other parts of the world. Today I continued in that tradition to share a material from power point on Mentoring. Mentoring is a needed topic to explore and share today as we are faced with rising gun violence in America and where youths who are most affected are looking to the grown-ups for direction and guidance. They need mentors. But who is a mentor and what is this experience. We say that Mentoring is more a process than an event. It is by properly understanding the process that we can move with tremendous success and generate a positive effect and affect.This presentation is available in PowerPoint at RENEWED, and at The Neoliberal Corporation with edits and revisions. we are also available to provide other resources and material on mentoring. Rev. Renaldo is available to speak on Mentoring, Discipleship and People development. Rev. Renaldo is an Adjunct Professor at Jamaica Theological Seminary and was Youth Minister for the United Church in Jamaica and Cayman Islands. Renaldo also served as a Mentoring Coordinator at University of Penn Christian Association and is author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance.

At the beginning of the year, many industries, including the lending industry were re-evaluating the way they work and changing their internal processes, marketing channels, pricing models, and, in some cases, even their target audiences. That has intensified since a trio of bank failures upended the banking industry, surveys from the Federal Reserve and the private sector show. Money is getting harder to come by, with increases in interest rates and the FEDS attempts to mob-up liquidity. We’d like to know what small business owners can do to access loans given these changes and how they can navigate the challenges they are facing in the lending industry. Mr. Raymond Dingle Jr., Lending Executive and President of https://rdjblending.com joined me on The Neoliberal Round Podcast for a video and audio Podcast interview and article addressing these questions and providing some solutions and recommendations for small business owners. Raymond is a member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity and pledged with me in Spring 2011 with six other brothers. He will partner with us to provide information on a regular basis on lending. On the show today he revealed that individuals can still access business loans even with a bad personal credit score and suggested a bank that facilitate this.

This is a Bonus Video Episode that continues to provide a perspective that defends Ja Morant and challenges the NBA and pundits who are intimidating Ja Morant's ability to exercise his freedom of expressions and rights to bear arms within a climate that has politicized the our constitutional rights to bear arm given the rising in gun violence.
The National Basketball Association (NBA)Stephen A. Smith
are using their draconian rules to control #JaMorant
as if he is not also a private American with freedoms. Work rules should not trump the constitution and we should not assume that brandishing a gun is anything but protection when celebrities are being gunned down while on social media. It is not surprising that he would brandish a gun in his private vehicle from a picture taken by a private associate in an effort to ward off any attack. Rappers have been gunned down in their cars while on Live and this time he shows a gun maybe to say he not that stupid. But what crime did Ja commit? What rule did he break? Moreover, just because some are anti-gun doesn't mean Ja must accept that ethic or morality. This last incident was not reckless or dangerous. Having a gun and parading it on tv is what people do of any race who are fascinated with the gun. He is not playing in the NBA; he is a private individual who has a political position about guns as well and he is within his rights to express a political position about the rights to bear arm and gun regulations and rights. If anything, Ja was using the platform to make a political stance for less gun laws and freedom expression while sending a message that he is locked and loaded while in public for people who are after celebrities. We are rushing to judgement and now imposing on Ja's constitutional rights and freedom of expressions. There is no one who can point to any crime that Ja broke, as he did not, only breaking some NBA rule about behavior that is based on preference and taste. For the NBA cannot legislate on player's behaviors that is unconstitutional and outside of labor laws.

Ja Morant should sue the NBA and the Memphis Grizzlies for violating his constitutional rights, the rights to bear arms and freedoms of expression. Moreover, the issue with Ja is not a legal or criminal one; it is a political one and Ja's act happens to bring the NBA in the center of it. Nevertheless, Ja is within his rights to carry and cannot affect the paparazzi who take pictures of him exercising said rights. We will provide a unique perspective that considers the actions of Ja as within his legal rights and that of the NBA and the Grizzlies and those castigating him as a black man with a firearm as a violation of or affecting his ability to exercise his rights.

“Purpose Through the Pain,” and I’m Not a Hypocrite, I’m Human,” are powerful books that provide perspectives and stories about faith, purpose and motherhood. T. L. Jackson joins us on the show to talk about purpose and faith and sharing her own personal story about how she has evolvedas a person and mother. She goes deeper sharing from her book, Purpose Through the Pain chapter 8 “What is Love,” about her marriage and the abuse and how she was able to learn and grow from that. She stated quite powerfully how she had to, “take off the Mask of shame…I’m still healing from that book: “I’m not a hypocrite, I’m Human.”
We celebrated the work of mothers in society, and she provided some constructive solutions to mothers today.
I announced two upcoming shows: The Lending Industry with the President of RBJD Lending, Raymond Dingle Jr. and one on Medical Malpracticewith my twin brother sharing some personal horror stories.
In fact, today we learned that in the US women in their 40’s has a higher risk of cancer especially those of African American descent.Please remember that people identify as being in a particular race and the races mix so that factor must be revisited. Moreover, misdiagnosis is stillincluded in studies irrespective of updates to medical conditions that prove otherwise. We will provide that episode shortly.
Later, on May 23rd, 2023, we join Statista.com live webinar on Artificial Intelligence Revolution.

What Playoff series is the worse matchup and least competitive? I'd say it is the Philadelphia Sixers versus the Boston Celtics. In fact, I predict that the winner of this eastern conference semifinals will lose to Miami in the next round, if they do not get their acts together. From Tatum struggles to the Sixers sporadic and disorganized plays at times. In game 4 of the eastern conference finals, I sat down with my fraternal line brother of Phi Beta Sigma to watch and comment on the game for a first-time episode where we provide perspectives on an actual live sports game. The Sixers are our home NBA team and so we decided that we would watch that games and provide commentary.
I had predicted that the Sixers would win this game, and they did. Celtics went on to win game six and now we are headed to Boston for a game 7. After the dissapointment of our Eagles NFL team loss in the Super Bowl this year, Philadelphians are not hopping on any bandwagon and are not making any hasty predictions or decisions about the Sixers hopes of any NBA championship. Moreover, the Sixers do not look poised to take on Jimmy Butler and Miami Heats who are waiting for the the winner of the Boston vs. Philadelphia series. Yesterday, the sixers posted up only 87 points in a highly defensive game where Boston stars steuggles to shoot only to score 96 points for a meagre win that the Sixers could not capitalize on. Tatum and Jalen won't have the same poor night in game 7, so the Sixers will have to outscore and out defend in Boston which seems ominous to say the least.
In the Western Conference, as predicted, the Nuggets beat the Suns and are now waiting on Lebron and the Lakers who are facing the defending champions, Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors whom we predict will lose to set up a western final between Denver and Lakers.
We predict that Lakers will Face Miami in the 2023 NBA Finals.
We will provide more sports commentary when we sit down with my fraternal line, Spring 11, of phi beta sigma later this week.
Also, we will carry delayed coverage of the Statista Webinar on Artificial Intelligence Revolution on May 23, 2023.

The world is in crisis and the Gen Z’s have something to say about it. I asked Sianni, a young 22-year-old from Philadelphia; how is Philadelphia Changing and what are the take aways for you? She replied, Relationships, communities are changing; you can’t leave your porch and have block parties, people are dying, it’s so heart breaking. She stated that when she was younger her parents shielded her from the visuals, but as she grows up and goes out in the world. She talks about how mental health is a serious issue affecting young people today and that if we do not address that and the problem of poverty, then we will devolve further into decadence and disaster. It starts with mental health. People are so prideful and are afraid to get help, in minority communities they do not talk about mental health, they’d rather drink or smoke. But we need therapy sessions and free mental health clinics and treatment for young people.
She also stated that It also starts with having conversations within the homes, classrooms etc. with young people. Talk withthem. We explore the mayoral race in Philadelphia, and like many, she is not aware of the candidates or their issues, but she said that she plans to vote. Quite importantly, she stated that she had to drop out of college as she could not get the funding she needed, but that she is now anentrepreneur developing her business. She said she is learning and developing by having mentors in her life. We said that mentoring is a relational experience between persons where one, of a particular experience invest themselves in another lacking in experience. She stated that she did not let not completing school deter her. She stated to teach herself and found a mentor and is now teachingothers as she grows and learn. Instead of going to college she invested in a mentor.
We discussed the challenge of startups and how social media uses algorithms to limit content creators reach. We discussed the limitations in school, she pointed out that schools provide basic education, they do not teach how to leverage credit or technology. They teach how to work for others. She emphasized this several times. I asked her what her hot button is, and she stated that we should invest in our kids, in their education, make it more relevant and revolutionary.

To become the identify you want, takes doing the habits that corresponds with that that, that's according to Zahfir, whom I wrapped with about his awareness of the Mayoral Race and his hot button issue. He had read a book, "the atomic identify," and highlighted that main theme in his responses. He was quite deep, a young 26-year-old man, who stated that before you change people's conditions, we must first change their self awareness and consciousness.

Big Girl Diva is willing to have the Military come in to deal with the rising Gun Violence in Philadelphia. Vetta has lost several family members in just three years to gun Violence. Just recently, she lost a niece who succumbed to 13-gun shots in North-East Philadelphia, and in 2021 she lost a 22-year-old nephew who was coming home from school and then his oldest sister was also killed, shot in the back coming from school. It's no wonder that Vetta suggested that the mayor's focus on curbing gun Violence. She even seemed resigned to frustration and is fed up to the point that she suggests bringing in the military. But she said that there's so much being thrown out about dealing with gun Violence, but something must be done. She's also not impressed with the new Philly police commissioner, who is from outside if Philly. She emphasized, "they're talking but you gotta show it, you gotta put in the work. Like many Philadelphians, she believes we are no longer a city of brotherly love. In fact, she revealed that Philadelphia is now called "Killerdelphia". However, we agreed that there's no place safe in America today, it's either black on black crime or mass shootings. It doesn't matter where you are. Recently, a lone gun man attacked a medical facility waiting room killing one injuring four (4); he was eventually caught and now in jail awaiting trial. Vetta ended saying we just gotta keep praying and maybe look to stop me higher power, cause you don't know what to say no more. Btw she stated that we don't have as many cops on the corners anymore. I suggested that this may stem from a backlash as Philadelphians were calling for a defunding of the police. Listen to the compact and very profound and intense conversation with Big Girl Diva. You will indeed agree that it was one of our better episodes.

It seems many young people are concerned about the opioid crisis in Philadelphia, especially Kensington Philadelphia. Today, while wrapping with Sandrea Cashay Nelson about our upcoming special concerning Spirituality and Astrology, we began to discuss the Philly Mayoral Race. Sandrea, Like Minard yesterday stated that the City and Mayor's should do something about Kensington.
We touched on the Secrets to Unlocking Divine Intervention from the perspective of how she practices her Spirituality. She is a student of Astrology and energy. She shares briefly on the show about the value she finds from these and how they connect with all faiths and experience of it. Announcement: Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance was switched back to Ingram Spark who will remain as our Global Print and Distribution partners.

By facilitating conversations with young people like the one I did on the Podcast with 19-year-old Minard, a college student from Philly, will we get the youths more involved in local government and politics. I asked Minard: are you aware that there is a Mayora's Race coming up in Philly and who the candidates are? No not really, just from the ads I see on TV or on YouTube. I know that one guy is running, but no I am not really involved. That's according to a young college student I spoke with today about youth involvement in Politics and local government.
This is the first in a series of podcast episodes we will do up to May 16th about Philly's Mayor's race and popular opinion among the various demographics and generations.

"Test, Trials and Testimonies," and "Lord Lift me Up," are two powerful poems written by P. K. Wilson, a retired Pharmaceutical Executive, Entrepreneur and now a Poet living in Panama with her Husband. She explains on the show why she relocated to Panama three years ago and her inspiration for her poems. She bemoans how women are still treated unfairly compared to men and provides this trope in her poems based in a lyric of the fifth and sixth lines, called "Hyuks," (I may need to double check this spelling and type of poetry).
P.K. told a powerful story of how she ended up marrying her first love after losing him to her first marriage. Thanks to LinkedIn she found her first love, got married and now living in Panama on a beautiful estate, while travelling the world which has helped to broaden her perspective on life.
P.K. revealed in the interview that she is working on a new book, which her father had started, it's about the Emit Till story and it is entitled: "Few if Any Will Remember."
She leaves us with a powerful warning: "the enemy of my enemy is my friend, until my friend becomes my enemy."
At what point my friend becomes my enemy? The US today is faced with such a situation where the enemy of our enemy are now friends. The US' influence over Asia is transplanted by China so that the US only has two friends left, Singapore and Japan. But even Singapore's friendship may be in jeopardy. This is a separate issue but a beautiful segway back into geopolitics.
Later on the Podcast, we discuss the issue of the World in Transition, Neo-Capitalism and the Death of Nations but before that we will have several episodes looking at Philadelphians perspectives regardig our upcoming mayoral elections May 16th. We will release such an epsiode next.

Pardon the Interruption with Music, some news updates and the Interview with Prof. Dr. Andre Isaacs on COVID and MRNA technology. I share new and original music entitled, "what is Life," and some updates about upcoming events at The Neoliberal Round, announcements about the Booke: Neoliberalism book 1 and 2 and commented on the firing of Don Lemon at CNN and Tucker Carlson at Fox News.
Lyrics - What is Life,
By, Renaldo McKenzie
What is life,
that I should live it?
What is life,
that I should make of it?
Up and down, around, about,
my mind can’t take it anymore.
I want, out, just to be free like anyone else,
making worth of life.
They say life is about the people, and how people relate.
How must I fit?
I want to be free, free to live, free to reign.
Oh God, where are you?
Are you there? Are you here?
To make me free from sin and shame, the pain whichperseveres…
The episode included four (4) segments where Maurice Smith joins me to discuss recent and upcoming episodes on the podcast such as Castro V Trump, and Immigration. In the very beginning and towards the end I replay an episode segment with an interview I did with Professor Dr. Andre Isaacs at College of The Holy Cross concerning his life, Poverty and MRNA technology and COVID. This is important as I challenged the argument around the technology that led to the COVID vaccine arguing that the research was years in the making before the virus which questions the veracity of the science behind the use of the technology by Scientists. Dr. Andre is a Chemist.

Rev. Renaldo McKenzie continues with the Lectures in Caribbean Thought at the Jamaica Theological Seminary for the Course Caribbean Thought. This week we: A. introduce thinkers and Commentaries from the Jacobins Publications on Caribbean Influences and stories, such as C.L.R James, Walter Rodney, Marcus Garvey and Bob Marley who we will consider for the next class. 1. Walter Rodney and the Struggle for Democracy in Guyana: The famed historian Walter Rodney was also an important political leader in his native country. In this republished essay, Rodney sets out a biting critique of the Forbes Burnham dictatorship that went on to murder him in 1980, forty years ago today.2. Grenada’s Revolution Should Never Be Forgotten: Forty years ago, a socialist revolution in the tiny Caribbean Island of Grenada threatened to upturn the world economic order.3. Grenada’s Revolution Should Never Be Forgotten: Forty years ago, a socialist revolution in the tiny Caribbean Island of Grenada threatened to upturn the world economic order.4. C. L. R. James and the Black Jacobins of Haiti: C. L. R. James was one of the twentieth century’s intellectual giants. During a life of intense political engagement, he wrote classic books about the struggle against slavery and the social history of sport, never flinching in his socialist commitment.5. Bob Marley’s Peace Gesture Supported Radical Change in Jamaica: An iconic 1978 image shows Bob Marley uniting left- and right-wing party leaders on stage, calling for a truce. Misread as apolitical, his gesture was actually meant to rescue a socialist political movement in danger.6. How C. L. R. James Helped End the Racial Hierarchy of West Indies CricketNo matter how well black West Indies cricketers played before 1960, they never made captain. When the political winds changed, Trinidadian Marxist intellectual C. L. R. James threw himself into the campaign to transform both the sport and popular consciousness.B. We commented on the issue of immigration and new trends and method of immigration. We learned that Jamaicans are now using Mexico to enter the US and are even paying Agents to do so. We discuss the immigration problem and then,C. segway into the book Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance, looking an Overview of the Socio-Economic Context of Caribbean. A. Neoliberal Restructuring, Income Inequality, and Poverty in Jamaica from the Mid-1970s: Hypothesis: if neoliberalizing economic structures create inequity and poverty, then income inequality and poverty should trend upward in Jamaica from the mid-1970s to 2008 (and to the present).B. Brief Overview of Jamaica’s Sociopolitical and Economic Context1. 1492–1960’S: FROM COLUMBUS “BUCK UP” TO INDEPENDENCEHistorically, Jamaica was stratified along racial and class lines stemming from the plantation system.58 Jamaica became a colony of Britain in 1655 after Britain success-fully defeated Spain, which profited from and controlled the island’s wealth for a century. Christopher Columbus opened Jamaica to the global trading map in 1492 when he landed accidentally (or “buck up”) on an inhabited West Indian Island. This was the advent of colonial capitalism where European colonists exploited the native Taíno people’s labor, abused their women, and annihilated their race in Jamaica. The Taíno Indians, a sub-group of the Arawakan Indians (a group of American Indians in northeastern South America), inhabited the Greater Antilles (comprising Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola[Haiti and the Dominican Republic], and Puerto Rico) in the Caribbean Sea when Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World.Renaldo McKenzie is author of Neoliberalism, a Doctoral Student of Georgetown University.

Murder Rates are rising sharply, but so too are suicide rates. Life is no longer precious and ending it is becoming too easy. Yet, Life is about people and how we relate within it. Nevertheless, life is what is you make it, so we cannot allow it to escape us. I have had to deal with issues of depression and suicide myself but was able to overcome and is now empowered to always rise above depression leading to thoughts of suicide. What has helped? The connection with the Ultimate and rediscovering a life of passion and purpose. John Maxwell in his book: "The Purpose Driven Life," said it best: "there are two questions we need to ask ourselves to unveil the purpose of our lives. 1) What am I passionate about & 2) What are my gifts. The answers to both of these questions are directional arrows to your life’s purpose. Your passions and your gifts are what give us energy," (Maxwell, John. The Purpose Driven Life, Zondervan, 2002). In fact, Maxwell goes on to say in the book that the Purpose Driven Life is more than a book but a roadmap that guides your life. In essence, it is living a life of purpose that is best described as the "Goal-Oriented Life". When one discovers one's purpose through one's passions understanding the bigger picture of life which is about people and how we relate, then we will spend our times working on passions that ultimately aides human life. Whether we realize our goals and passions is one thing and must not see as failures but part of the totality of life. Where we fail someone will pick up. Moreover, the realization of anything must always be seen as a work-in-progress, as Caroline Dwek points out that this is "the power of the yet!" Paul in Romans and John Calvin in his theology describes this as a process of being but also becoming. As such our perspectives will be adjusted to mitigate against thoughts that leads to depression.
Data: I reference an article I wrote in The Neoliberal Corporation Moral Magazine entitled: Murder Rates are Rising Sharply! Is Gun Reform the Answer? - The NeoLiberal Corporation - https://theneoliberal.com/renaldocmckenzie/murder-rates-are-rising-sharply-is-gun-reform-the-answer/04/13/2022/1541/blog-posts/the-neoliberal-journals/, April 10th, 2022. In the article I said: the data suggests that gun-related deaths are climbing back to their peak levels since 2014/2015, from their low levels of 4.0 percent between 1996-2013/14. Prior to that there were some sharp fluctuations in the murder-rate between 1981-1996 where the rates fell drastically from 6.3 to around 4.8 percent between 1981 to 1984, followed by a steady rise to 7.1 percent from 1984 – 1994/5. In 1996, the rates started to fall again and by 1999, the gun-related murder-rates fell to an all-time low of about 3.9 percent (per 100, 000 people) of the population, which carried over into 1997-2013 with no major rise or fall. Until 2016 to now, where murder rates are rising and are climbing back up to their peak levels. According to John Gramlich of the Pew Research Center: “More Americans died of gun-related injuries in 2020 than in any other year on record, according to recently published statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). That included a record number of gun murders, as well as a near-record number of gun suicides. Despite the increase in such fatalities, the rate of gun deaths – a statistic that accounts for the nation’s growing population – remains below the levels of earlier years,” (Gramlich, John, “Gun deaths in the U.S.: 10 key questions answered | Pew Research Center,” Feb. 3, 2022).
Indeed, suicide remains a human challenge that must also be resolved properly when appropriated clearly. Suicide stems from issues that lead to depression and therefore we must address the issue in a multifaceted way. Nevertheless, I share how rediscovering the purpose-driven life can help us lead a life that is constructive.

Another Mass Shooting, this time in Louisville Kentucky, where a lone gun man, a former employee killed 4 and injured 9 people. Many are calling for gun reform and gun control. Yet, it remains a sore and uphill battle to change gun laws in America. Americans are fascinated with the gun and the constitution all but ensures and protects this right. However, gun reform may not be the easy answer and fix to gun violence. The recent gun violence and mass shooting involved lone gun men who are in some way, connected to the places and peoples they shoot. They return with rage and without discrimination shoot indiscriminately. The latest shooting may stem from unresolved HR issues, while the Monterey shooter had unresolved customer service issues. Others may stem from relative deprivation, with high income inequality and poverty and then, there is replacement ideology stemming from extremism. The violence and mass shooting is varied and must follow a multifaceted approach. We seem to have placed all our efforts into marching for gun control making it a socio-political issue. Hence, we miss the big picture and fail to properly address the problem. It has to be multifaceted and starting with the human is the first step.
I make this point on the episode and share a press briefing from the Governor and Law Enforcement in Kentucky with the press today.
I make a major announcement on the podcast regarding Neoliberalism Book 1 and Neoliberalism Book 2.

As we reflect on Easter, I mashed together various short videos to provide this dynamic easter podcast production. As we serve the world today to solve tomorrow's challenges, making popular what was the monopoly, it is important that we provide programming that is part of the solution. As such we understand that conditioning the human conscience with content that considers inspirational matters by celebrating our faith experience may help to rescues humanity and the wonton secularism that pervades. Not that we are against liberalism and securalism, but we believe that the marriage is important to keep us from destroying ourselves. The message of the cross is powerful and may help to heal a broken society devolving into decadence and social decay. May we remember the story of Jesus and his crucifixion.
I provide several performances beginning with a group performance at Old First Reformed Church in Philadelphia, "The Reason We Sing."
Then the Reflections by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie on Forgiveness reading from St. Luke 23:34 of the Christian Bible.
We then wrap up with three performances:
Donte and Renaldo using HER music,
Renaldo and Ricardo on NYC train, How Great is Our God and
Renaldo and Nate sing, Falling in Love with Jesus.

We are at a pivotal moment in the world. At a time when we are questioning the need for currency, China, Brazil and several other countries are seeking to replace the US dollar with Kyrpto. Artificial Intelligence is becoming normal talk in everyday language as society becomes more sophisticated thanks to advances in technology.
According to Bergur Thormudsson of Statista.com in an article entitled: Artificial Intelligence (AI) worldwide – Statistics & Fact https://theneoliberal.com/renaldocmckenzie/challenges-to-humanity-china-cryptocurrency-russia-and-artificial-intelligence/04/04/2023/2477/blog-posts/the-neoliberal-journals/s, dated March 2, 2022 in Statista.
A major part of real-world AI has to be solved to make unsupervised, generalized full self-driving work, as the entire road system is designed for biological neural nets with optical imagers. That's according to a tweet from @MuskUniversity on Twitter.@MuskUniversity via Twitter
“Agreed! What will we do with the rideshare drivers who will be out of work once AI become fully functional in self-driving cars. Not only are we to think about the road systems, but also the human being. The more we develop robotics, human work becomes unnecessary which affects earning potential. Unless we come up with another mechanism to base earnings or we will live in a welfare consumer world.“
“and Tesla is getting it done.”
“But who is working on the human and the loss of work? Who is working on revolutionizing human human compensation that is tied to productivity and activity which will become redundant to machines. For every skill or job, AI will eventually replace, so what’s next and what gives?”
Renaldo McKenzie Via Twitter@elonmusk via twitterRenaldoMcKenzie via TwitterArtificial intelligence poses serious threats to humanity, and to fix the challenge, we may have to revolutionize human systems today. This Society was never built to facilitate AI. Since we moved away from the barter/exchange system to currency, which helped to maintain & extend privilege and power in the development of human civilization. The invention of currency was revolutionary, as it completely replaced the dynamic of human relations and production and created an economic system of value that resolved unfair exchanges in the Barter System. Moreover, the need for a currency system in its conception was necessary to facilitate a rapidly expanding world that was developing sophistication and science in work leading to the various revolutions – Agrarian, Industrial. As the world sped towards becoming Industrial moving from the Agrarian to the Industrial, currency may have been proven useful. But with the explosion of technology and its capabilities through AI, we are faced with another problem, how does the working class obtain it without the possibility of work? To answer this question critically may lead us to several probabilities that are not possible. This is a deep point here that we will flesh out later. Ultimately, we may have to get rid of money or currency. The dialectic of whether we live to work or work to live becomes whether we live to consume and consume to live, as technology replaces the working-class work and therefore their ability to consume and essentially to live in the new consumer society today and worse tomorrow. Social welfare will not be enough to deal with the loss of human labor and thus any currency they can obtain in order to consume and live. Already politicians politicize social programs and are busy mobbing up liquidity. If you want to see how technology can upend lives and society, just visit Kensington Philadelphia. Further, China, Brazil and several other countries today are ditching the US dollar for Krypto currency. That was always the plan, but the US caught wind of it and made a wise chess move... https://renaldocmckenzie.com

There is an active and unprecedented case that is before the US District court involving Mr. John Anthony Castro, Plaintiff, and US 2024 Presidential Candidate who is suing Trump on the basis that Trump provided comfort to the January 6th insurrectionists which is a violation of section 3 of the 14th amendment. The case if successful will bar Mr. Trump from being running in the 2024 Presidential elections. In part 1 we provided background to the case and discussed Trump's motion to dismiss and Castro's efforts to recuse Judge Aileen Cannon who is the presiding Judge and is obstructing the suit and seem to be a Trump surrogate who was appointed by Trump and has been cited for interfering in a previous case involving Trump. We learned today that the recusal is before the US District court and a decision is pending. Moreover, John also discussed Donald Trump's arraignment and whether his previous suit against the FEC helped this current indictment against Donald Trump who violated campaign financing laws to pay hush money through his attorney Michael Cohen over an affair he had in 2010. Mr. Castro explained how the parties are working together to hold trump accountable. He explained that it will take 6 - 9 months before the case goes before trial, as it may include pretrial and exploring discovery of evidence so that the indictment trial may not be until 2025 after the US Presidential elections. Mr. Castro indicated that by next week Friday there should be a ruling on Trump's motion to dismiss. He stated that there may be a good chance that it is dismissed if Judge Cannon is not recused before then. However, he stated that dismissing the case may put her in a difficult position given his case against her to be recused on the basis of bias. Therefore, Judge's Cannon has to provide a strong argument to dismiss which will be scrutinized given the recusal case. However, if the case is dismissed, John stated that there is a plan to take it all the way to the supreme court, which is the ultimate goal. Furthermore, if Trump's motion was denied and Castro were to succeed, then Trump may also take it to the Supreme court and according to Castro, he sees a 50-40 decision in his favor.

The intention today was to explore, A. The Socio-Political Context of Jamaica and the Caribbean; B. The limitations of Nationalism and Garveyism, C. Caribbean Fanonism. However, we barely addressed those topics as we began by,
Tracing an outline of Caribbean within Caribbean Thought:
-1492-3 - Columbus- knowledge religion people wealth -Ulterior motive: gold/profit/greed/international competition capital -Slave trade -Sugar plantation society -Heroes and maroons-Abolition riots and loss -Freedom: Emancipation and Independence -Servitude and Indentured labor from China and India -Coming of the Jews-Blacks work for wages -War anti-imperialism Marxism vs capitalism -Nationalism (ideology) 1940-1955 — 1970s 1980s-Independence and short-term prosperity (Bauxite and ownership)1970 Oil crises -Migration (1950s)-Manley vs Seaga (Jamaica)-Castro (Cuba)-Bishop (Grenada)-Migration- brain drain - 1970sRemittances (1970s - 2019)-Caribbean Identity (struggle, conquest, schizophrenia poverty and inequality and dependent capitalism -Globalization -Corruption, Crime and violence -Towards the Future: If the Caribbean is an invention of the 20th century, it seems certain to be reinterpreted and perhaps transcended in the 21st century-Faith, Culture, music, sports and opportunity (science and technology, brain drain as export value, information and technology)-Community: collective sense yet its haphazard and not strategically effective and targeted.
We Revisited the issue of Identity within a male-dominated Caribbean society inherited from a Eurocentric Theology that influences sexual identity and places limits on the woman. We asked are institutions inclusive or promote Caribbean feminist ideology of equality, which may mean jettisoning language of privilege? We discussed whether Columbus really discovered or captured Jamaica and the New World, concluding that it depends on the logic or truth that we follow - Pragmatic, Coherent or Correspondence theory of truth. We discussed Rex Nettleford's work on Identity saying: The challenge of identity can best be resolved by a question: Who am I is better answered by who I want to be? We defined some concepts important to Caribbean Thought: Feminism, Nationalism as against Fascism and Extremism, the meaning of socio-political as we explored the socio-political context of Jamaica and by extension the Caribbean. We underscored the importance of the post colonialist method of analyzing and presenting perspectives, lifting up Michel Foucault, Kant, Gramsci, Kenneth Clark etc. We briefly review the importance of Greek chauvinism and Roman influence in the development of Western civilization steeped in privilege. From there we discussed how that has come to define the new world. Then there's the current condition in the world today that the Caribbean find itself asking how it is affected by tense conditions: Who Rules the world? If Corporations/multinationals driven by greed rule America, the most dominant country in the world despite the fact that leadership in the center in softening. However, China and Russia understand this and have used strategy to develop their countries into a market that can entice American Businesses racing to cash in. But China controls consumer behavior and therefore this poses a threat to American dominance as their corporations become dependent on China's market. China and Brazil are also ditching the dollar for Krypto as they seek to unseat American dominance in the world. How will this affect Caribbean? We explored the situation in Singapore and Vietnam comparing them with the Caribbean and how their socio-economic outlook is brighter as investors are rushing there. What can we learn from this? We concluded discussing Neoliberalism, Chapter 3: the Socio-political Context of the Caribbean.
The course is offered at The Jamaica Theological Seminary, 3 hours weekly and is a 2200 level course within the Humanities. https://jts.edu.jm.Lecturer: Rev. Renaldo.McKenzie@jts.edu.jm

Mass shootings in the US are a daily occurrence nowadays. Our children in the US the most affected and gun violence is the number 1 cause of death among children in the US. Just yesterday a middle school in Nashville Covenant School was attacked by a mass shooter. Here's an opportunity to fix the problem. How do we do it, by using the same arguments regarding reforming guns. Why are we so myopic, limited and cliched in our thinking. It's always first to reform #guns. But mass shootings go beyond the gun and there are strong arguments to preserve the right to bear arm when you think that Americans is the most weaponized of all civilian and armed forces int he world. No country will launch a ground offensive on the US as they must contend with the local and official militias. And there is no place for a coup like the one in Venezuela here in the US given the civilians ability to bear arm and protect such attack against its democracy. Moreover, in countries where the gun laws are most restrictive such as in Jamaica, does not necessarily mean reduction in gun violence, it may only lead to an underground market. That being said, we have to look at what is happening in society that is creating this problem. It may include an issue of human nature, lack of critical thinking and the demise of the human conscience developed within the celebration of spiritual and psychological disciplines, experiences which are becoming obsolete and redundant, transplanted by the new secularism and its technology, a new thinking that cannot integrate liberality with inspiration. Where is the Mennonite Church that had #conflictresolution efforts and initiatives? What has happened to customer service and Human resources in society that had helped to protect and promote that humanness and provided agency? Outsourced? What has happened to prayer and solitude? Sunday mornings are in front of the video games playing "#grandtheftauto" or the #realhousewives and rap sensationalizing rage and resolving matters through violence that sensationalize. On the other hand, politicians fight over issues that delimits agency to those feeling discriminated against already. All this has fueled a #cain-like attack, brother on brother. There is an anger and rage that is leading to a violent resolve. The latest shooter we learn was a former student of the school who was a transgender, and we know recently DeSantis is pushing for reforming the law in Florida on sexual identity. The Monterey shooter was taking out an unresolved customer service issue in violent rage on the entire club and then there was CVPA and the teen utilizing replacement ideology. We also did a podcast asking: What will upend violence? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-will-end-violence-boys-and-the-need-for/id1577359542?i=1000596154300.
I also provided inspirational music from HER and Tauren Wells mixed with my background vocals and music and adlibs with Donte Nelzon.

We continue with the Lectures in Caribbean Thought. We introduced the concepts of Power, position, privilege, and the foundations of Knowledge and Hegemony of faith within the development of western civilization that affects Caribbean thinking and reality. This is compendium of perspectives on power that examine how the status quo uses strategy to extend, establish or maintain power which then imposes on Caribbean Thought and poses problems for human (Caribbean) progress. This involves looking at the Development of Power, Privilege, Position & Status Within the Foundations of Historical literature and Divine Intervention. The presentation will be interdisciplinary but benefits from the discipline of Liberal Studies and liberal arts, lifting up issues of human values and ethics. We will consider and make conclusions about the foundations of knowledge and the hegemony of faith as we present our analysis. It uses anthropological methods and other primary and secondary sources to ascertain data as well as explore the historical archives. Further the Lecture presentation, due to the dynamism of the Lecturer/presenter, writing within a post-colonial milieu will consider social media as one of the Greatest Victory for Masses and Social Movements and Caribbean peoples, that will upend Strategies of Power by The Status Quo and the culture of violence in society? Moreover, the answer may lie in an exploration of The Development of Power, Privilege, Position and Status Within the Foundations of Historical literature and Divine Intervention. I am here talking about the foundations of knowledge and the hegemony of faith and the cultures containing this hegemony. So, we will begin by asking, "Do the Poems of Homer and Hesiod’s Theogony and the Biblical Stories provide a Basis to Begin to Understand the Problem and Consequences of Human Dynamics in the Development of Human Society? Further, language, thought and history become part of any examination and reflection of culture involving philosophical inquiry. "The negro is not. Any more than the Whiteman," Frantz Fanon, in "Black Skin White Masks," psychoanalyses of the "colonized" (systematically-controlled) man/woman, he removes the dominant view within comparisons, striving for the empowered self. According to Homi Bhabha, here the familiar alignment of colonial [controlled] subjects is disturbed by a break, a pause from the usual to reveal a truly authentic self. In fact, when we hear of Jamaica or the Caribbean, we think of beautiful islands of paradise with sun, sea and sand, reggae music, cannabis and "irie" people like Usain Bolt- people who are living out their best dreams, desires, and lives. But this book analyzes this motif, given the historical and current economic and political situation in Jamaica and the Caribbean / the "Global South." In an attempt to escape the adverse realities of poverty, inequality, and injustice, the people of the Global South find themselves in north metropolises with very little agency and minimal change to their lives. In fact, except for the use of cleaning neoliberal waste, the immigrant is usually portrayed as an alien with three heads and big sharp teeth seeking to steal and destroy the profit and disrupt society. As such we will discuss Black, brown, and Pan-African struggles for economic prosperity, justice, and freedom and consider efforts, abilities, or inabilities to chart their own futures since decolonization and realize real political independence and economic prosperity. Perhaps, they are charting their own course by the few corrupt of the status quo who are benefiting from partnerships with the neoliberal regime of the "Washington Consensus," advocates of the "bureaucratic phenomenon," while the masses are left behind…” We explore history and thinking from a sub-altern view as we think about Privilege, Power, Position and Status within the development of society.

From Silicon Valley Bank to banning black books, increasing interest rates and shutting down the "Robinhood program", to now banning TikTok. Access to wealth through the new technology by the new rich is under attack. The argument to ban TikTok seems quite flimsy, really. One Congressman said it is protecting us against the future. That is a hypothetical argument. Another says its corrupting Americans opinions, nonsense, Young Americans couldn't care less with what's happening in China. Instead using big govt. to regulate freedom of expressions, why not beef up education around #criticalthinking & make educational affordable where we can be firm in our thinking. What about Trump and MAGA who use social media to promote extremism and to corrupt the minds of some constituents? Moreover, we live in a global village they say that's against barriers to free trade. Yet we are here doing just that putting up barriers based in loose arguments to confuse peoples. What is really the case here: Competition and the access to opportunity and wealth that tiktok provides. It is not heavily regulated and does not require huge sums of money to get visibility. TikTok is driving revenues away from the mainstream and this poses a problem. The drive to ban TikTok is the drive to limit competition and access. The Feds today are raising interest rates to mob-up liquidity, to take monies out of the hands of people who don't usually have money. To slow down the growth of the new rich. Moreover, Silicon Valley bank was affected by rising interest rates, a bank that caters to start ups tech and the rising newrich people. The system is countervailing, creating a backlash against the rising new rich. Ron DeSantis is also banning black books and therefore theirability to profit off their books, using language of Woke to demean black academic books and pure intentions and to justify their attack on those who now have access and are rising. We must really delve into these issues to unearth any strategy by the status quo or mainstream to upend the access and opportunities that are available to us to make gains and wealth. However, If the Feds are saying that there is too much money in the hands of people in society, it is people who are rising and getting rich or money through the new digital technology and their start-ups, books or entrepreneurial initiatives that is changing how people work and how they earn. As such there is an attack on everything that provides this access. Those with money will park it and have the luxury of making more from the loans they give or on their investments. Those without or with little or loans now have to pay more. Plus, TikTok which provided an income stream to many is also another opportunity they have attacked. If TikTok operates like American social media platforms, then the visibility and viewership would be managed by algorithms that limit viewership unless you have the money to pay for your friends to see your posts. Moreover, countries are interested with American lifestyle. If Congress want to compare how Chinese kids spends far less time on TikTok, than Americans, that is because our cultures are different. Moreover, many Chinese and people overseas are fascinated with Americans and spend their times watching American lifestyle on social media, not because they are studying us to kill us but because they wantto be like Americans or they are fascinated by American ways and systems and probably will incorporate it in their cultures. TikTok provides a great way to sell American culture to the world. So the argument that we are being heavily scrutinized by Chinese through social media is cheap. Moreover, if we have security concerns over tiktok, what is it really apart from corrupting minds like Trump did with the insurrectionists? We must have good parenting where parents monitor what their kids see, and we must also have critical thinking skills as part of our curriculum...

- News Alert: There is a Workforce Crisis in Child Welfare, which is affecting Social Services Agencies abilities to serve children and families effectively. Mr. David Fair Deputy Chief at Turning Points for Children spoke to the City Council Committee on Children and Youth Child Welfare on Monday, March 13, 2023, and shared his testimony with us a few days ago that we had published in The Neoliberal Journals and The Neoliberal Post of The Neoliberal Corporation Moral Magazine https://theneoberal.com and https://renaldocmckenzie.com. Today Mr. Fair spoke with us via Zoom today Sunday March 19th, 2023, to provide more insights on his testimony and to provide further awareness surrounding the issues and how we can become part of the solution. Mr. Fair revealed some breaking news and interesting information as to the challenges facing child welfare in Philadelphia. Mr. Fair is also a former Head at Department of Human Services (DHS), the government agency in Philadelphia that administers and directs child youth and family services. 1. Philadelphia replaced the old DHS system that had already failed with the same system, they just did it with community workers that costed less.2. Under the new Improving Outcomes for children that is CUA worker-driven, there is only one worker (Case Manager) with a caseload of up to 30 that at times include several families and households per case. 3. Agencies such as IHPS (In-Home-Protective-Services were phased out and Foster Care Agencies roles changed from case work to a more supportive role to families. 4. While the plan was to reduce staff at DHS, DHS currently has more than the workers it had before CUA started, which is now focused on mainly administration and bureaucracy, with high salaries, while CUA's5. Provide the case management and or case work with administration and case management supervision, quality assurance and staff that provide the same functions as DHS administration and who also have the similar credentials and experiences. 5. CUA's seem to bear most of the risks, while receiving limited funding to pay their staff and to provide effective childcare. 6. DHS has made decisions that affected the CUA's whereas it is not involved in case work, it makes decisions that supersedes the CUAs about families that ultimately puts the families at risk and opens the CUAs to lawsuit. Mr. Fair explained a recent incident where his agency was sued and had to pay millions of dollars to a family from a decision taken by DHS. According to Mr. Fair, DHS cannot be sued as it is a government agency. As such, the CUA's have to have an insurance of up to 10 million dollars. 7. Mr. Fair revealed that his agency has 600 workers and receive 40 million from government funds to care for 3000 children daily. He lamented that this was insufficient to do what needs to be done to provide the welfare that the children it serves deserve. Turning Points is one of the largest Child Welfare Agencies in Philadelphia and is a part of the largest Social Services Agency in Philadelphia PHMC which is also a Not-For-Profit Agency. 8. Mr. Fair explained that DHS staff gets paid up to $5000 more than CUA workers who do most of the work and are overworked. His agency reportedly has up 45 % worker turnover rate.9. Workers are not compensated enough; they can't even support their own families. Therefore, they can't care for the children in welfare in the ways that they want to and should be due to limited funding. Philadelphia Officials at DHS are speaking with the city to increase Case workers compensation from approximately $44 - $45,000.00 per annum to $51000 - $52000 per annum.

It is not just the history of slavery and colonization, culture of racial discrimination, structural Adjustment, debt and size and history that have affected Caribbean development and growth, but also the culture of corruption, inherited either from neo-capitalism or human nature or the result of those who are always in lack and dependency. Today's lecture at the Jamaica Theological Seminary in Caribbean Thought week 9, focuses on the Cost of Corruption. The topic is important as since recently there has been a recent rise in financial and white-collar crimes not just in Jamaica but int he world. What is corruption? "We define corruption as the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. To end corruption, we must first understand it. That’s why we look at what causes corruption and what works against it. To end corruption, we advocate for power to be held accountable. Everywhere," (Transparency International Website, https://www.transparency.org/en/). The 2022 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) shows that most countries are failing to stop corruption. The CPI ranks 180 countries and territories around the world by their perceived levels of public sector corruption, scoring on a scale of 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean), (Ibid). What is Jamaica's CPI compared to other Caribbean Countries?JAMAICA Score 44/100 Rank 69/180 Score change 0 since 2021.Caribbean nations with the Best CPI/Rank: 65 - Barbados 29 and 64 -Bahamas 30. Caribbean Nations with the worse CPI/Rank: 171 - Hait 17, 166 - Dominica Rep. 20, 85 - Suriname 40, and 85 - Guyana 40, 77 - Trinidad and Tobago 42, and Jamaica.
Recently, Janie McEwan submitted a Letter to the Gleaner, which was "Letter of the Day on January 18, 2023, defining White-Collar Crimes, from a sociological perspective, as a product of the societal and cultural norms that shape the behavior of individuals and organizations. Jamaica, like many developing countries, has a culture of corruption that is deeply ingrained in its society. This culture of corruption can be seen in the widespread acceptance of bribes, embezzlement, and other forms of white-collar crime as a normal part of doing business,” See Janel McEwan in Letter of the Day | The impact of white-collar crime on Jamaica | Letters | Jamaica Gleaner (jamaica-gleaner.com) January 18, 2023. Three students, Tyrese Harrison, Sanshia Hayles and Sasha-Gaye Robinson in a group submitted a brief essay on Corruption in Jamaica by reviewing the film "Cost of Corruption'' a 2011 documentary film by the National Integrity Agency (NIA) Hosted by Executive Producer, Prof. Trevor Monroe. We may blame Jamaica's stagnation on the Neoliberal Regime of the Washington Consensus, but Trevor Monroe agrees but also places blame on the Corrupt Politicians and leaders. In fact, The Jamaica Gleaner reported a story on "Crooked Politicians on UK Radar," reporting that the former UK Ambassador to Jamaica had found widespread levels of corruption within Jamaica within the Government. “The politicians are more interested in getting in and or staying in power, than they are in delivering on the promises that Jamaicans need”, (The cost of corruption, 2012). The documentary Cost of Corruption is one that highlights corruption at its highest in society. We then discussed our advocacy for Haiti initiative and the Petition/sign on letter for Haiti for Caribbean Nationals.

This is Part 1 of a Series on the Castro V Trump Case with main plaintiff, John Anthony Castro, US 2024 Republican Presidential Candidate, hosted by Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie of The Neoliberal Round. The Castro V Trump case started on January 25th, 2023 when Mr. Castro filed a lawsuit in the US District Court Southern District of Florida against Former President Donald J. Trump. Castro's lawyers delivered the suit to Mr. Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. This suit by Mr. Castro follows another suit that he had filed against the FEC on January 25th, 2022 that the FEC should not accept Mr. Trump's candidacy on the basis that he violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the US constitution. According to the amendment, no person seeking elected office who had formerly held such an office may be eligible to run for said office unless congress removes this disqualification. Mr. Castro's lawsuit claims that because Trump provided comfort to the January 6th insurrectionists, he should not be able to run. The case was dismissed by the courts concluding that the FEC cannot disqualify a candidate but can only regulate campaign financing. We explore that briefly before we introduce Mr. Castro. Mr. Castro provided an update on the case regarding the timeline and expectations. According to Mr. Castro, who provided court documents to the effect, Mr. Trump filed a motion on February 16th to dismiss the suit on the following basis: 1. The plaintiff lack standing, 2. If he does not lack standing, he lacks "ripeness", 3. The Court lacks jurisdiction, 4. The plaintiff has not distinguished himself from the public, 5. The plaintiff is not a Bonafide candidate, as he has not registered in all US states as a candidate. Mr. Castro responded to the suit citing precedence and evidence of his candidacy. Mr. Castro has also asked for an emergency stay on the decision to dismiss brought forth by Trump in order that the Writ of Mandamus to remove Judge Cannon is heard before the 11th circuit. Mr. Castro explored the way the case may end up at the US Supreme court and provided a timeline, suggesting that the justices may take up the case in October of 2023 and that the next ruling on the case may come in as early as two weeks concerning the recusal of Judge Cannon who was appointed by Trump and seems to demonstrate partiality. Mr. Castro elaborates on this in Part 1 of the series and explain the poor coverage which he states is not a concern at this time. He revealed next steps for his campaign and the launch of his fundraiser this Friday March 17th 2023. Visit John Castro at https://johncastro.com. The next episode will be in two weeks, and we will provide an update on the ruling and progress of the case on the CASE V Trump Series by The Neoliberal Round Ft John A Castro and host Renaldo McKenzie.

Haiti is the first Black colonized country to get their Independence in 1804 beating the French and Napolean. However, today, they are among the poorest country in the world with an installed government made up of former colonial masters. In fact, as we critical examine Caribbean Independence and mixed realities, Haiti provides an insight into how the Caribbean has remained dependent and vulnerable. Last week, Mr. John A. Castro, A US Presidential Candidate presented on American Politics and today, Mr. Brian Concannon, Executive Director of the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti presents on the Haitian crisis and his agency's work to advocate on behalf of the Haitians for Justice, Democracy and true freedom. If you're familiar with Former President of Haiti, Jean Bertrand Aristide, then you will understand how important Mr. Concannon is when talking about Haiti. Brian, an American lawyer who had been one of those helping Aristide restore democracy and law and order in Haiti back in 2001-2004 before he was kidnapped. Mr. Concannon continues to work with Haiti and several agencies with the issue of restitution and repaying the debt that Haiti had paid. He provides an update on the case, Former President Aristide and current issues in Haiti including, deportation, the PHTK installed gvernment, CARICOM and the question of intervention by force which the US, Canada and other governing countries were calling for. The class included several students from The Jamaica Theological Seminary.
Is there a Caribbean Identity today in terms of tomorrow?
The developing world discovers itself and speaks to itself through this voice (outwit). We know it is not a uniform world.
On Sunday October 19th 1983, Maurice Bishop, Former prime Minister of revolutionary Grenada was killed, alongside some of his comrades. At the other end of the soviet-automatic rifles were soldiers of the People’s Revolutionary Army, of which Bishop only days before had been the respected commander in chief. Days later on October 24, 1983, the United States (Navy SEALS) invaded Grenada… and following the bitter battle after three days, the PRA was defeated; this event marked the first Marxist regime in the anglophone Caribbean to take power insurrection. Long before the symbolic collapse of the Berlin Wall, the invasion of Panama to purportedly capture its President Noriega, and the Iraqi Conflict, the collapse of the Grenada Revolution and the US invasion marked the end of a particular variety of Caribbean Marxism and the demise of an entire notion of sovereignty and non-alignment (The Nation). Prior to this Jamaica itself struggled with carving out a future for itself based on its own sense of the nation and sovereignty and fought for political and economic independence by aligning itself with Cuba and the soviets. However, this was largely unsuccessful as Jamaica endured one of the darkest internal political strife as political leaders and their parties battled each other in the streets leading to a chronic crime problem that continues to plague Jamaica today. While the US invaded Grenada militaristically; Jamaica's invasion was political and economic where the Americans provided financial benefits to one side who agreed to sell out Jamaica’s nationhood for economic gains that were promised albeit within the scope of what was at stake. European/American penetration in the world was either economic, financial or military means, where they propped up a few so as to quell any insurgency towards their ideology. Haiti provides another case study.

Group Violence Intervention is a relatively new strategy that seeks to reduce gun violence among groups and their members. Initiatives that seek to Reduce Gun Violence are always Good. The strategy seems to target gangs with the help of the police that provide information about alleged known gang areas or where there are high incidents of Gun violence associated with gangs. However, the GVI uses the term “group” instead of gangs so as to neutralize the power of “gangs” and to recondition efforts towards positive group activities of helping to limit gun violence. According to a story carried by The Philadelphia Inquirer entitled: “A city-led effort to reach potential shooters has produced encouraging results, Philly officials say,” by Chris Palmer dated February 28, 2023; An evaluation conducted by a University of Pennsylvania researcher said the approach, known as Group Violence Intervention (GVI), helped reduce gun violence among targeted groups of young people. The article stated that: An evaluation conducted by a University of Pennsylvania researcher said the (GVI) approach, helped reduce gun violence among targeted groups of young people by as much as 50% during a nearly 30-month period ending last spring, (Philly officials announce GVI results, a city-run initiative to reduce gun violence (inquirer.com).
Mr. David Fair, Executive Director of Turning Points For Children said:
This is good news. But it’s also frustrating because this approach was also successful when it was being implemented in the Rendell and Street Administrations as the Youth Violence Reduction Project, an evidence-based approach that was even more effective than this new project.
Moreover, I had some problems and questions concerning this report and study. I responded:
Initiatives that seek to reduce gun violence are always good. But it has to be truly effective, and studies must be representative of the strategies’ efficacy. The report is absolutely not convincing, makes question-begging-epithet i.e. “alleged certainty” that GVI works because “we know it works.” That’s unacademic and a faulty argument that should not appear in a study’s report such as this. The report stated that the project has been going on for three decades, however, violence has skyrocketed.
The Report is available in The Philadelphia Inquirer: Philly officials announce GVI results, a city-run initiative to reduce gun violence (inquirer.com)

Recently, at a CPAC Rally, Donald J. Trump said that he shows strength as US President, in that no country from without will touch the US, but what about the implosion within from policies and talking points that promote divisiveness and vitriol, leading to a January 6th Insurrection. Such hypocrisy: here's a former President that incited/aided and did nothing to protect against the January 6th Insurrection talking about taking on corruption, imprisoning Marxists for toppling confederate statues. How duplicitous & pharisaical where Donald J. Trump can get away with Crimes yet create laws that punish criminality. All this talk accusing people of being Marxists and Nikki Haley spewing out the same nonsense yesterday calling the other side Socialists seems to suggest the potential marriage between Trump/Haley's campaigns. He, like Ron DeSantis, Florida's Governor, want to get rid of Critical Race Theory (they, some ultra-GOP, call Woke) thereby preventing black academics & black authors from academia & from financial gains; the usual strategy that prevents black people from wealth & prosperity. Black outlets, bookstores: please support black authors! Don't gatekeep, we have to face Trump, DeSantis and the Republican Party blocking our books. Please do not add to the list. Help the local community authors and black and brown authors. Suddenly all black writers are deemed part of Critical Race Theory. Thus, our books become branded as such. Needless to say, Critical Race Theory is important; how can we truly heal without appropriating the past?

Does Section 13 number 1 of the US Constitution, the Amendment that abolishes slavery, provide a loophole for slavery to continue today? This is Part B of Caribbean Thought Lecture 7: American Politics, with a special presentation by John Anthony Castro, US 2024 Presidential Candidate, Attorney, Legal Scholar, President of AI Tax and Castro and Company, a First Generation American who has worked hard from nothing to now a multi-millionaire, and challenging Trump a former US President. Mr. Castro engaged the students on a range of topics regarding American Politics and policy, the Constitution, Globalization, American Penetration, Strategy, and his candidacy and position on life and society. The students were fully engaged with Mr. Castro, who spent almost 2 hours wrapping with the students and answering their questions. There was one striking moment from the Lecture worth mentioning here: A student, Abdul, asked Mr. Castro, why is slavery still legal in America, citing the US Constitution Section 13 number 1 that says... Slavery is illegal in America, except for convicted Americans. Mr. Castro agreed that that is something he may have to revisit and that that may need to be adjusted to remove any loopholes stemming from that. The Professor, Rev. Renaldo McKenzie, pointed out that Slavery is illegal in the US, but that forced labor without pay is the punishment for certain crimes in the US which is slavery. However, while slavery is legal in those cases, more black and brown peoples who were once enslaved are disproportionately incarcerated and their poor realities and economic activities are criminalized which allows for their re-enslavement permitted by this said constitutional law abolishing slavery. The Class ended with prayers lead by Hanif and Vote of Thanks led by Adul. The class had over 25 participants and included two members of the faculty, The Head of Department Ms. Erica Campbell. The episode includes Part A, which is replayed after Part B and then a Bonus music in audio by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie with Prayer. You will find this episode of The Neoliberal Round quite insightful and inspiring. It will be provocative and critical but also explore solutions - strategy.

I tweeted that, "I thought Nikki Haley was different," responding to a tweet she posted earlier today, 2.24.2023, that: "I'm running for president to stop America's downward spiral toward socialism and end the self-loathing that has taken over our country. I'm running for president to renew an America that's strong and proud, not weak and woke," ((3) Nikki Haley on Twitter: "I'm running for president to stop America's downward spiral toward socialism and end the self-loathing that has taken over our country. I'm running for president to renew an America that's strong and proud, not weak and woke. https://t.co/FBNpNzLNJk" / Twitter).
I elaborate briefly on my critique of her position in a trenchant conversation with my Line Brother, Maurice Smith of Phi Beta Sigma.

Donte Nelson and Jermaine Reason join me to discuss a reading from an excerpt of my upcoming book: "Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Neo-Capitalism and the Death of Nations," (the book will also have contributions from Prof. Emeritus Dr. Martin Oppenheimer. The episode explores the assertion that Black People's should not be rich, the other people's should be, examining cases where weed has been regulated to allow for those with capital and connections to capitalize on the product while Black and brown countries and people's were kept from exploiting it's gains. Now its decriminalization and legality doesn't make it easier for Black and Brown People to profit off the drug. it now requires license and capital which continues to be the strategy that leads to unfair competition and mixed economic realities.

Author T.L Jackson returns to the show to talk about her new book, "Purpose Through The Pain." In the studio was her uncle "Marvin," who joined in on the conversation, briefly, to talk about the book and how his uncle, T. L is his inspiration. He too has a powerful story that we will share on the show later. But T. L., talk about her inspiration for the book and how it differs from her first book, "I'm Not A Hypocrite, I'm Human." She begins this new book in 2021 talking about how she had to remove the masks from her life to reveal her true self. The book is an easy-to-read short booklet talking about her brief period of her life where she found herself. The book also provides spaces to write notes and for reflection asking several key questions about purpose. The interview was another powerful one, and of my best and favorite. We are growing and this one show growth especially in the area of videography. It was also my first live in face-to-face video interviews that I have conducted for broadcast and my first face-to-face for audio in several podcast episodes.
It was refreshing and powerful. You may visit Author T. L. Jackson's website at authortljackson.com or email her at: authortljackson318@gmail.com.

US 2024 Presidential Candidate John Anthony Castro rejoins The Neoliberal Round Podcast with Host, Renaldo McKenzie to provide some breaking news update on Castro V Trump, Mikki Haley's candidacy and why it seems as if the Media is snubbing him. John Castro provided some insightful comments on the following: 1. Why is the Media Snubbing you, are you running for President and are you Republican? 2. Why do you want Judge Eilleen Cannon to recuse herself from the CastroVTrump case? 3. Do you think Nikki Haley has any chance of securing the Republican nomination and becoming President? 4. Why was the suit against the FEC dismissed and how has that prepared you for this new case against Trump? 5. How do you plan to respond to Trump's lawsuit attempting to dismiss your case? 6. How soon do you think that the US Supreme court will hear the case" Castro V Trump? 7. Do you think that there is some conspiracy or connection between the media announcing Haley as the first to challenge Trump and Trump's attorney attempt to accuse you of not being a Bonafide candidate? Castro provided an erudite, legal and passionate response to these questions which you cannot afford to miss. He ended on a high note: What's the difference between the BLM protests & the January 6th Insurrection? He stated that both involve rioting or violence, however, when violence is directed at upending a legal democratic process, then that's where the two differ and depart. The BLM were marching against systemic injustice such as Police Brutality. The January 6th riots were attacking the capital to overturn an election, He elaborate and makes this pivotal point as we ended the interview. On Monday Mr. Castro will formally respond to Mr. Trump's lawsuit to dismiss his Case against him. He fleshes out much of his rebuttal to the challenge citing precedence which some legal and political scholars may not have at first considered. He explains this precedence of the Bevin Vs the six unnamed and hos this provides precedence delving into Amendment 14 and article 6 section 3. His argument was convincing stating how Trump's challenge of his suit puts Trump in double jeopardy. Watch the entire show, it promises to be insightful and breaking as we are out front on this news Castro V Trump. John A. Castro is also the President of Castro and Co., and Ai Tax, an international Tax law firm and accounting and tax software company now valued at over 180, 000, 000.00. He is also a graduate of Georgetown Law School, Georgetown University. and is married and has two children.

Bonus Episode: In "Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Neo-Capitalism and the Death of Nations," we make the point that: What is True of Putin and Russia is also True of all Former Colonial Masters. Moreover, President Putin of Russia stated in a speech on March 16th, 2022, and later in an article by the Russian News Agency, that the independence that Ukraine had was not the one Russia wanted. It was one that was Western. But this is true of Britain, the US and all other former colonial masters who freed their colonies and black peoples. The independence that former masters wanted to give to colonies has always been a diluted and wanted down one. If colonies and peoples do not accept their new independence as designed by the former masters, through debt, structural adjustment, spy agents and force they penetrate, invade and plunder to re-dominate and or depress newly independent and freed peoples and nation-states into submission. This addresses the wider issue of power and privilege which is the driving force behind neoliberal globalization, neo-capitalism and pseudo-communism. The idea of the nation and the doctrine of nationalism as defined by Elie Kedourie in "Nationalism" becomes lost in this constant idea of a world order created in the eyes of the master, driven by the WTO, World Bank, long standing arrangement between former masters who created a system that ensures their hegemony. Ukraine, Haiti, Cuba, Taiwan wasn’t supposed to threaten and rival their former masters and carve a nation in their own eyes. Hence through strategy the new nations and freed people’s realization and dream of the nation die and is subdued, given way to the dominant.

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the Russian invasion in Ukraine. I explain why Putin will not back down; his end goal and his ideological justification. Moreover, Putin, President of Russia gave a speech in Russia today at a Pro Russian War Rally that the Kremlin organized. The event had over 200, 000.00 Russians in attendance (according to the Russian News Agency). The world has been slow to act, but recently, US President Biden signaled more support in terms of more sophisticated weapons that defend against the Russians and to also attack. President Biden visited Ukraine and is currently in the region for a meeting with the US allies. China has indicated that it will support Russia, which is a move from its private support of Russia. They may have done so in retaliation of their spy balloon that was shot down. In this episode we share two powerful episodes where Putin laid the ideological foundations and goal of his invasion. When you listen to these episodes, they suggest that he does not intend to back down or leave Ukraine. This will set up an outright brawl as Ukraine becomes more equipped with better weapons. With all the dynamic surrounding this invasion, are we leading into WW3? The US has had to shoot down several strange aeronautic devices from the sky and the said China Ballon was said to be a spy balloon.
Moreover, his speech today was a repeat of his speech on March 16th, 2022, and an April 2022Article that the Russian News Agency reported calling for the Denazification and Full-Blown Genocide of Ukraine.
Poll Question:
With the all the dynamic surrounding Russia invasion, China's support and spy balloon and Western support, is WW3 imminent? Yes, or No? You can participate on the Spotify platform or via our Twitter, LinkedIn or Reddit feeds: #renaldomckenzie, #revrenaldocmckenzie.
Later this week we will have John Anthony Castro providing an update on his suit which is being expedited to the US Supreme Court, T.L. Jackson, author of "Purpose through the Pain," and I will share an excerpt from my upcoming book.

This is the Full audio/Video Recording of Caribbean Thought Lecture 6 at The Jamaica Theological Seminary, Lectured by Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie, Author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance. The Lecture is a continuation from Week 5 where we had asked: who determine this why revisit the past? This Lecture is entitled: Week 6: Neoliberal Globalization and Nationalism: The Challenge of Structural Adjustment in the Caribbean and Cinema as Resistance, looking at the film "Life and Debt" by Stephanie Black a film based on the book, A Small Place by Jamaica Kincaid about Antigua's struggles with structural adjustment after independence. This class begin with the groups breaking out in their rooms and discussing the following questions. They then presented the main points in the general session. Questions: 1. We celebrate Haiti as the first colonized black country that got independence and freedom beating the French and Napoleon. C.L.R James even wrote in the Jacobins how Toussiant who led the Haitian Revolution successfully beat the French and was intrigued with how he was able to do so. But today we are learning that Haiti may not be really free. Why would anyone want to challenge Haiti's Independence and C.L.R James book hailing the Haitians as successful in securing their independence. 2. Why is it important for us to critically revisit the Caribbean's past when we are critically making a determination about what is Caribbean?
We then move into this week's lecture with: What's Difference between Neoliberalism and Liberalism? Renaldo McKenzie There's a difference between liberalism and Neoliberalism. Liberalism was the humanist ideology promoting individualism and free wills. It was a social theory within the humanities. However, liberalism like all useful theories, doctrines or things, became adopted and was adapted within another discipline, Economics, due to its usage and normalization within the corporate industry by capitalists and the large corporation. The idea, principles and guarantees of liberalism provided a useful opportunity, to remake into an economic theory a strategy to advance capitalist bottom line and goal for profit. This new liberalist thrust within economics gave rise to the term Neoliberalism. We then discussed some general questions from the course. We discussed Cinema and Globalization as a preface to the film Life and Debt. Cinema and Neoliberal Globalization: Can Cinematic Film be An Effective Tool in Creating Change in Light of Globalization? Probably the Answer to Neoliberalism lies in Film One of man’s basic drives and instinct is the pursuit and discovery of “truth”. But in a world of Isms and schisms, perceptions and deceptions, truth seems more elusive, and reality becomes contradictions of our perceptions controlled by our ideologies, products of human limitations. Nevertheless, throughout history, man has searched for truth and according to Cuandis Callison, film, art and media have reflected this “eternal search for truth.” The full notes are available to students of the course.

Valentine's Day: Is it accurate to say that love that's true expresses itself in sacrificial and constructive means? We pause for a moment of Prayer on this Valentine's Day. We took a break from News Commentary and Academia to pray, promote love and perform a music that may inspire irrespective of denomination or religious affiliation, although the music is in gospel. We are not seeking to proselytize or privilege any particular faith. We find all faith provide a basis to connect with The Ultimate and man must work out their own salvation. With background instrumental, I sing "How Excellent is thy Name Oh Lord," then praying for the peoples of the world: Ukraine, poor and vulnerable peoples in the world that the Ultimate would intervene in a way that empowers them and remake them into dynamic competitive beings. This can only happen in Love, one that is sacrificial. We pray for those whose socioeconomic realities continue to affect their lives and hold them down. We pray against violence and human pride and privilege steeped in position and the violence of strategy that promote position. We pray for CARICOM that they will unite and become a stronger body and intervene appropriately in the Haitian crisis. We pray for Haiti and the crisis they are experiencing. That they will find resolve and realize the true nation that had made them independent. We pray for leadership that values everyone and for understanding in the world.
Regarding Love: There's the #agape, that's unconditional, the #phileo that's of brotherhood & sisterhood, there's #eros that we associate with romance and #Valentine. It's selfish & doesn't share. Yet, the last two cannot exist in their true form without the first. So that true #love is #agape.

This week, CARICOM/Caribbean Community is meeting for their Bi-annual meeting Wednesday to Friday. Haiti & Guyana's Oil will be on the table. The discussions on The Neoliberal Round/in Caribbean Thought at Jamaica Theological Seminary are proving to be timely as Some CARICOM countries are open to intervening in Haiti by force, while Guyana's discovery of oil is being discussed as an opportunity for them to reinvent themselves. However, what's lacking is capital-intensive investments to boast capacity to operate around the final stages of production & unselfish unity. CARICOM MUST TAKES the lead NOT THE US/CANADA. This requires meeting with Haitians on the ground to find a workable solution, not making decisions about #Haiti that caters to one side without including all sides. Where's the #diplomacy? Intervention by force will fail. Haitians are opposed to any intervention by force. However, they need intervention that includes them, one that is led by them. Anything else that disempowers them/takes their pride of independence will be transient. The discovery of oil in Guyana and the investment and development in financial technology by young professionals may provide the answers the Caribbean needs to reinvent itself. Michael Manley and Edwards Seaga may have found a socio-political remedy through Capitalism/Marxism. Later Bob Marley their contemporaries promoted a new religious consciousness saying they look to a religious consciousness not one based in economics which led to his Rata Tafari. Then There were sports, arts, culture, Merlene Ottey, Usain Bolt, Jimmy Cliff /the Reggae Movement, Beenie Man, Louise Bennette, Rex Nettleford & the Jamaica Dance Movement. Yet, the prosperity still resided around servicing the tourist industry. However, through the years the Caribbean has redefined itself learning and reshaping while still building on its new self and prowess in the arts and culture since culture defines a nation. So that today young Jamaicans continue to display their indomitability & creativity carving out a future for Jamaica. People like Kevin Donaldson who had recently created Jamaica’s own remittance company & unveiled a plan for the development of a huge corporate hub. However, work is becoming remote so how's this revolutionary? https://theneoliberal.com.

This is Lecture 5 of Caribbean Thought, a course at the Jamaica Theological Seminary Lectured by Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie, Dated February 10, 2023. This is a continuation of week 4 and the Lecture series towards developing a Caribbean Thought Journal. The Lecture was quite powerful as usual. We continued from week 4, conceptualizing the course Caribbean Thought when we had asked, "what is Caribbean Thought, and who determines this?" This week we ask, why who determines this and why is it important for us to revisit the past. The lecture delved into this question by lifting up a current situation in the Caribbean - The Haitian Crisis - where The US and Canada is pressuring the Caribbean to intervene in Haiti on their behalf. We examine this issue in relation to the Caribbean socio-economic challenges which has defined present realities which imposes on cultural identity. We explored this within the context of our understanding of the Caribbean being part of the pan-African struggle for not just independence but economic prosperity that allows them to compete. When we go back in history, we explore situations where the Caribbean's inability to truly realize pan-African goals in light of strategy that continue to keep these peoples and countries down - Debt. We begin the class by revisiting the conclusion of the class: "...the Caribbean represents a people who have been disrupted, detached, displaced, hybridized and made into dependent capitalist states with some level of modernity to promote consumption within the neoliberal globalized world which is largely a consumer society." We then moved into Lecture 5 by exploring the course outline: Course Description: This course focuses on and explores the diverse currents of Caribbean Thought, which have influenced the development of Caribbean societies from colonialism to independence and beyond. It traces the history of resistance and examines the quest for equality and the challenge of defining Caribbean identity within this post-colonial and neoliberal Globalized world not just within the geographic sense but also in terms of a diasporic sense.... The course surveys the history and philosophy of the Caribbean and the ways in which the Caribbean has emerged as a society in the shadow of colonialism and emergence of neoliberal Globalization.

Ramsaran who wrote in the Preface of his book, "The Challenge of Structural Adjustment in the Commonwealth Caribbean," Yet we say: We celebrate #Haiti as the 1st former colonized black country to successfully lead a revolution beating Napoleon. But France turned around & charged them 24 billion to recognize their freedom which Haiti gullibly paid—that has held them down. We concluded with Edward Seaga PM of Jamaica in a 1983 Lecture: "I wish to talk to you about the strategy which I believe can best attain a quality of life for the peoples of Middle Level countries of the developing world," (Seaga, 1983, p. 23, in New Directions.) https://theneoliberal.com.

This is Lecture 5 of Caribbean Thought, a course at the Jamaica Theological Seminary Lectured by Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie, Dated February 10, 2023. This is a continuation of week 4 and the Lecture series towards developing a Caribbean Thought Journal. The Lecture was quite powerful as usual. We continued from week 4, conceptualizing the course Caribbean Thought when we had asked, "what is Caribbean Thought, and who determines this?" This week we ask, why who determines this and why is it important for us to revisit the past? The lecture delved into this question by lifting up a current situation in the Caribbean - The Haitian Crisis - where The US and Canada is pressuring the Caribbean to intervene in Haiti on their behalf (See the Podcast/Youtube video with Brian Concannon). We examine this issue in relation to the Caribbean socio-economic challenges which has defined present realities which imposes on cultural identity. We explored this within the context of our understanding of the Caribbean being part of the pan-African struggle for not just independence but economic prosperity that allows them to compete. When we go back in history, we explore situations where the Caribbean's inability to truly realize pan-African goals in light of strategy that continue to keep these peoples and countries down - Debt. We begin the class by revisiting the conclusion of the class: "...the Caribbean represents a people who have been disrupted, detached, displaced, hybridized and made into dependent capitalist states with some level of modernity to promote consumption within the neoliberal globalized world which is largely a consumer society." We then moved into Lecture 5 by exploring the course outline: Course Description: This course focuses on and explores the diverse currents of Caribbean Thought, which have influenced the development of Caribbean societies from colonialism to independence and beyond. It traces the history of resistance and examines the quest for equality and the challenge of defining Caribbean identity within this post-colonial and neoliberal Globalized world not just within the geographic sense but also in terms of a diasporic sense.... The course surveys the history and philosophy of the Caribbean and the ways in which the Caribbean has emerged as a society in the shadow of colonialism and emergence of neoliberal Globalization. It examines the central ideological currents of twentieth century political thought in the region and covers broad topics such as Colonialism, Nationalism, Pan-Africanism (See Groups’2 Paper on Pan-Africanism – we defined Pan-Africanism reading from their exceptional essay which delved into Pan Africanism), Socialism, Marxism, Feminism, Democratic Socialism and Neo-Conservatism, Neoliberalism, Globalization and Deconstructivism, Critical Race Theory, Strategy and the Foundations of Knowledge and the Hegemony of Faith, Economic Inequality and Poverty....Among the thinkers/works that will be considered throughout the course are Marcus Garvey, George Padmore, C.L.R. James, V.S. Naipaul, W. Benjamin, M. Foucault, Franz Fanon, Walter Rodney, Fidel Castro, Michael Manley, Edward Seaga, Bob Marley Kamau Brathwaite, Edouard Glissant and the Negritude movement generally, Homi Bhabha, Mike Davis, Nelson/Novella Keith, Stephanie Black, Jamaica KinCaid, Garnett Roper, Rex Nettleford and the Professor’s Works We then begin to explore Caribbean thinkers: Ramesh F. Ramsaran who wrote in the Preface of his book, "The structural adjustment issue is, not surprisingly, one surrounded by intense controversy and emotion. This is because it does not concern simply with economic policies or improving government performance but brings into question basic economic philosophy and ideology and may also involve the effective transfer of decision-making from local hands." The Caribbean must critically reflect on its position in relation to life...theneoliberal.com

Recently I interviewed Brian Concannon for my podcast, The Neoliberal Round. Little did I know that there was a situation that he is involved with as a Human Rights Advocate on Haitian justice and democracy. Brian is the Executive Director for The Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti. It's a US based Human Rights agency that is actively involved in working here in the US to advocate for the Haitians. While conducting the interview, I learned that the US through Canada is actively seeking CARICOM to intervene in the Haitian crisis since the assasination of the Haitian President October 2022. The US has since installed a Prime Minister that Haitians oppose and this has created internal conflicts especially against the US backed PM who is calling for the US to intervene, despite the objection of Haitians. Mr. Concannon shared a letter from a human rights and advocacy group in Haiti, written by Mario Joseph the Managing Attorney to CARICOM. The letter, written November 2022 stated: BUREAU DES AVOCATS INTERNATIONAUX 3, 2ème rue Lavaud B.P. 19048 Port-au-Prince, Haiti November 4, 2022 Dr. Carla Natalie Barnett Secretary-General Caribbean Community Re: Proposed International Intervention in Haiti Dear Dr. Barnett: We are writing you in relation to the armed international intervention in Haiti that has been requested by Dr. Ariel Henry, the de facto Prime Minister of Haiti, and supported by the United States and Canada, to explain that any support for the intervention by the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) would violate CARICOM’s democratic principles, betray Haitians’ centuries-long struggle for democracy and sovereignty, and implicate CARICOM in attacks against civilians exercising their basic human rights. Ever since the intervention was proposed, Haitians have taken to the streets by the tens of thousands to oppose it. We have issued statements, spoken out in the media, and done anything else we could to let the world know that the intervention is designed to prop up the unconstitutional, corrupt and repressive de facto government and stifle legitimate dissent. De facto Prime Minister Henry ascended to his post not through any Haitian procedure, but through an announcement by the US-led Core Group. He had been nominated by President Jovenel Moïse of the Parti Haitienne Tet Kale party (PHTK), whose mandate had expired five months previously. The PHTK has not run an election that was either fair or timely in the decade it has maintained power. Haiti’s Parliament became inoperative in January 2020, and the terms of all local elected officials ended in July of that year. Haiti’s Supreme Court has lacked enough members to constitute a quorum since March. This situation constitutes a sharp departure from the right to a fair and open democratic system guaranteed by Article VI of the CARICOM Charter of Civil Society. PHTK governance has been demonstrably brutal...We want CARICOM to once again insist that the international community stop supporting an unconstitutional, imposed regime, and allow Haitians to find a democratic, sustainable solution to our political crisis."
In solidarity, MArio Josephs Managing Attorney. You can see the entire letter at https://theneoliberal.com.

"The US & Canada have been trying to get an intervention force to #Haiti since October 2022. Haitians, for the most part, oppose it, and the US and Canada don't want their troops leading attacks against popular resistance. So, they have been trying to get Caribbean countries to lead the mission. St. Vincents PM Gonsalves rejected it in November-- but Wednesday #Jamaica expressed interest," Brian Concannon, Executive Director, IJDH. Yet many #Jamaicans are also opposing to it and a recent Jamaica Gleaner alludes to this. We will discuss on #TheNeoliberalRound podcast at with @HaitiJustice https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal at 10am. Will release show later this evening and discuss with the #CaribbeanThought class Jamaica Theological Seminary. We Just completed the show, we are working on it. Here's some Breaking Points: In a letter written to CARICOM heads, Mario Joseph, Managing Attorney of the International Bureau of Human Rights Advocates in Haiti, stated that:"We are writing you in relation to the armed intervention in Haiti that was requested by the De facto Prime Minister of Haiti, supported by the US and Canada, to explain that any support by the CARICOM WOULD VIOLATE CARICOM'S democratic principles..." Mario Joseph, Managing Attorney, BDAI. While St. Vincent has accpeted the letter and rejected the invasion, Jamaica is actively considering this move amidst Mario's letter and scores of Jamaicans who are against this move. We will have this full story and provide the entire letter later on theWhile St. Vincent has accepted the letter and rejected the invasion; Jamaica is actively considering this move amidst Mario's letter and scores of Jamaicans who are against this move.

Question: I currently reside in the US as a Naturalized US Citizen, from Jamaica. Would I be considered a First Generation American? Activity: Come up with one or two sentences that define/s Jamaica in relation to Caribbean. Learning Objectives: 1. To critically formulate and present a concept of the Caribbean in relation to its position in history which has given rise to its present reality. 2. To begin to trace Caribbean Thinking through its process of coming to be, moving beyond Independence and the tensions between competing political thought in Jamaica – capitalism and socialism. 3. To begin to develop a critical and academic frame within which to provide commentary and contributions on current issues of society and identifying media that facilitate these expressions. This lecture aims to facilitate an interdisciplinary approach to the understanding of Jamaica in relation to the Caribbean, one where the internal and personal interacts with the external. Like Keith and Keith, they agreed that Jamaica has suffered under colonialism. Yet, they contended for a picture of Jamaica that was independent of its socio-economic position and experience. Maybe as a way to forget the reality of its vulnerabilities so as to boast about something else that gives pride and joy. Indeed, although at first the students struggle to come with an original concept of Caribbean for themselves, they still sourced and provided a definition that gave them great pride about Jamaica – its size, its influence and popularity as a leading island in terms of its worldwide appeal and fame from Bob Marley, Merlene Ottey, Usain Bolt and Jerk Chicken. Nevertheless, the consensus was that Jamaica is still a society divided along class lines. This was important as one student pointed out that his movement from one class to the next and from the rural to the urban has adjusted his experience and his ideas about Jamaica, which changed his perspectives. This supports what Norman Girvan had written in his “Reinterpretation of the Caribbean” in “The Caribbean Reader,” indicating that to define Caribbean is a matter of context and perspective. The Caribbean Reader begin their perspectives on the Caribbean in Grenada, in 1983 when Maurice Bishop and his People’s Revolutionary Army met their demise. This was juxtaposed with the invasion or penetration of the US by their Navy Seals who provided the support that sought the local conflicts among the peoples that crushed the nationalist and democratic socialist intentions of the nationalists. Keith & Keith, Dale Johnson all scholars of the postcolonial write in their projects how the US penetrated the Caribbean through their various machineries. To promote US style ideologies. This was not free of local assistance who were opportunists hoping to cash in as elites or representative/house slaves in the local. Like Europe’s strategy of trickery, making the same deals with all the African tribes which created further chaos in Africa which led to its plunder and domination, the penetration by supporting a few created a local tug-of-war. That was evident between the Manley and Seaga governments of the 1980s, which defined Jamaica. Nevertheless, the students agreed at the end that Jamaica has been given tremendous opportunities and investments. But has squandered it through nepotism, connectionism and corruption. The students alluded to their own experiences, associations, studies showing Jamaica’s corruption index, the NIA & Dr. Trevor Monroe, UK report on Jamaica being on UK crooked politician Radar as evident to support their conclusion that the country has mismanaged its investments and resources. In the end we concluded that we are not a human race in the sense that we are racing against each other. But if we think in terms of race, then the reality of the Caribbean and the black position within that racial thinking suggest that we lost the race of time. https://theneoliberal.com.

I had a drive with David, who is originally from Ghana and attended the University of Pennsylvania in the early 2000s. He has been living in the US since 1973. He talked briefly about the experience of being the only black student in classes back then, and how he was seen as provocative as he challenged the material and his professors. He reminisced about the days when two dollars (US$2) per hour was enough. He reported that Ghana was progressing since their independence from the Brits and that many Jamaicans and African Americans currently reside and have businesses in Ghana. We also talked about the difficulty that many Black Academics and Professionals from Ivy League Schools or with advanced degrees have of accessing jobs or navigating the professional and career world. We raised the question: why it seems that very educated black men experience discrimination even within predominantly black industries and workplaces. I shared a personal story of the difficulties I had working in New York as a Junior Executive within a predominantly white Jewish environment and later being turned down by a Social Services Agency in Philadelphia because the Hiring Manager thought I was too educated and shouldn't be applying there. I learned that they don't even care to review or interview these individuals, as the attitude is to indicate "no response" on their applications. We then discuss the issue of violence and a recent article I wrote entitled: "What Will End Violence?" available in The Neoliberal Journals of The Neoliberal Corporation Moral Magazine Website at https://theneoliberal.com.
We have a Poll question and a discussion question that you can participate in:
- Poll: In what year did Ghana become a Republic?
A. 1957
B. 1958
C. 1960
D. 1874
- Question: What is affecting black graduates from Ivy League Colleges in accessing certain jobs and working in particular areas?

This is a remake and updated video of a previous story entitled: Good News or Not? Unemployment Dops to 3.4%, Yet Conditions are Still Worsening! However, we have improved the video and audio and added several more comments to the story, given the Feds interest rate hikes. We begin by revisiting the previous story: Is it good news for some but bad news for the rest, since the national does not take into account the “devil in the details” or the situation in the locals. This report gets lost in the details of people’s life who are struggling to find well-paying jobs, and a December economy that usually attracts more employment in retail and other industries given the usual increases in consumer spending during the Christmas holidays. So, the employment was expected to rise. However, what will happen in February or March? Signs suggest that the economy is bracing for more blows given the interest rate hikes to come and the instability in inflation and rise in some consumer goods. Places with high poverty and unemployment rates such as Philadelphia has experienced increases in poverty, homelessness among the young and more people are receiving welfare, where they can. If not, the situation becomes an issue of rising crime and violence. We then move onto exploring the Feds increasing interest rates: This brings us to Critical Economics, which when placed within what we have said about critical thinking is then thinking & rethinking ideas and principles about economics that has come to shape how we allocate or distribute resources within society. It means looking at the inequity and distributional challenges in society today from an economic that aims to allocate resources fairly and efficiently. However, A Free-Market system has not achieved that, what economics was developed or supposed to do – distribute evenly within a perfectly competitive market. It is full of nepotism driven by neo-capitalistic forms of economics. Within a Capitalist society such as the US, where buyers & sellers transact business & set prices. However, the Feds have raised interest rates a third time in the last few months which directly affects prices as it affects costs of financial instruments. The cost is passed onto the consumers. There’s a story in Yahoo News regarding the stand-off on interest-rate hike by the Feds. The story entitled: Federal Reserve and the markets in standoff on rate hikes: Concluding: The Feds decision to increase the interest rate by 0.25 % with more hikes coming suggests that they have learned from the mistakes of the IMF and world bank who at one time applied structural adjustment too quickly which affected the most vulnerable. Instead, they are applying incremental increases so as to minimize the effects that these increases may have on the poor and working classes and to soften any blow back from investors on wall-street and effects these will have on production costs, wage, and capital investments needed to continue to spur the economy towards needed development in infrastructure of the US economy. The inflation rate seems to be under control, which many believed was a direct result if the intervention by the FEDS to implement interest rate hikes over the last quarter. Host/Producer: Rev.

This is Lecture Four of The Course: Caribbean Thought a course at The Jamaica Theological Seminary, Lectured via Zoom recording by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie. It promises to be quite academic, ethnographic, and powerful as the students and Lecturer contend for the Caribbean and explore its challenges and explore solutions. We discuss Jamaica, Guyana, Barbados, Trinidad, Haiti, the US, the Slave Trade, and did a SWOT analysis of the Caribbean. (Brain-teaser/Activity: 1. I currently reside in the US as a Naturalized US Citizen, from Jamaica. Would I be considered a “First Generation American”?) 2. Come up with one or two sentences that define/s Jamaica in relation to Caribbean. Learning Objectives: 1. To critically formulate and present a concept of the Caribbean in relation to its position in history which has given rise to its present reality. 2. To begin to trace Caribbean Thinking through its process of coming t be, moving beyond Independence and the tensions between competing political thought in Jamaica – capitalism and socialism. 3. To begin to develop a critical and academic frame within which to provide commentary and contributions on current issues of society and identifying media that facilitate these expressions. What is the Caribbean Thought? Past influences on the Present? This is a question of being, as much as it is a question of tradition, culture, and thinking. But it is also a question about the place and peoples of the Caribbean. It represents part of a new world with new people, islands of paradise in the Americas with language, history, culture, religious consciousness, politics and economies that are inherited from its mixed past. When we hear of Caribbean today, we think of beautiful islands of paradise with sun, sea, sand, cannabis, Bob Marley and reggae music, Usain Bolt, irie people living out their best dreams, desires and life. But Neoliberalism challenges this motif, stating that the Caribbean is made up of dependent vulnerable states whose beauty is divorced from its people and enjoyed mainly by those outside of it. Further, the Caribbean represents a people who have been disrupted, detached, displaced, hybridized and made into dependent capitalist states with some level of modernity to promote consumption within the neoliberal globalized world which is largely a consumer society. Needless to say, the Caribbean remains vulnerable and open to penetration from without and exogenous shocks from within and is recreated within the mole and frame of its former masters, since decolonization and independence. These former masters are now landlords within the newly created globalized world where freed men now pay rent. This is the new condition of the Caribbean and the world since decolonization and the drive for a post-colonial world where the Caribbean had a dream of nations of freed men who were sovereign of their own lives met a neoliberal globalized world in the 1970s and beyond, where nationalists succumbed to denationalization of the nation so as to free up globalization. This was a type of globalization that ultimately continued a strategy of pharasaicalism now defined in the 20th century as the Bureaucratic Phenomenon – where established rules made through arrangements only governed the new nations and freed peoples, but the old masters and their new elitist friends of the Washington consensus were largely above those rules, as for them, the law is not a shackle, only those who are within a particular dynamic of life and society.).
But the world is created to serve interests. Whose interests? Man or God? But God may be the invocation man has used to justify a space in the dynamic of life....

News Commentary: Good News? Unemployment report is out, its lowest since 2018. Nevertheless, many in the tech, media and retail and food industries are laying off thousands of workers, from Microsoft, to WAWA, Facebook, Twitter just to name a few. Income inequality is at its highest, more people are poor or falling into abject poverty, education outcomes are still low and falling, inflation has decreased, yet prices are high on many consumer goods. The Feds just raised the interest rates promising more to come. What positives are there in this news given the other social conditions and poor economic outlook? Is it good news for some but bad news for the rest, since the national does not take into account the "devil in the details" or the situation in the locals. This report gets lost in the details of people's life who are struggling to find well-paying jobs, and a December economy that usually attracts more employment in retail and other industries given the usual increases in consumer spending during the Christmas holidays.

Places with high poverty and unemployment rates such as Philadelphia has experienced increases in poverty, homelessness among the young and more people are receiving welfare, where they can. If not, the situation becomes an issue of rising crime and violence. According to the BLS: Payroll employment rises by 517,000 in January; unemployment rate changes little at 3.4%Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 517,000 in January, and the unemployment rate changed little at 3.4 percent.

I called an Uber to take me to pick up a Tesla today. That's when I met Darline from Haiti, who is now a US citizen, driving for Uber as part of one human race. She talked about the experience working with Uber. But she was also just returning from a visit to Haiti, and we talked about what's happening in Haiti. She was quick to point out the challenges in Haiti, saying "there's a lot of problems... the people are united together. Which seems to be the problem of the Caribbean. The inability to come together to share and work to build. This selfishness learned probably from colonization or within human nature to fight over scarce benefits and spoils, has dogged the island. Yet, when asked, what can be done, she could not provide any answers, only that the people need to be more united and that the President was just killed as a result of him being branded an American mouthpiece. American penetration in the global south islands are not well known in the US by its citizens. We only see what others are doing but Haiti has endured several setbacks due to penetration of outsiders but also due to the damage done to it by themselves. Haiti was one of the first to obtain independence, the first among black peoples that was freed but made the mistake of trying to colonize Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, who shares the island with Haiti. Indeed, at one time in Haiti's history, they had colonized another country after they were free, but this was transient, and this created a history of bad blood between the two countries that share the same land mass. Dominicans who took back their country through partnerships with the Europeans, took on whiteness and was forever an enemy of Haitians or their black brothers who had tried to enslave, so that today many Hispanics from that region cannot identify with a race, only an ethnicity. We explore the dynamics in Haiti briefly, speaking with Darline and shared a personal experience while exploring life and society. We were perplexed about Russia's invasion and the boldness with which men invade and plunder other men and nations without apology and conscience. This ability to destroy peoples and leaving it up to diplomacy to resolve, while the people suffer. The human condition has become so tarnished by self, the id and a privilege that justifies its injustices on other people's int he world. We pray for peace and God will uproot men like Putin who unleash evil without mercy when they too need God's mercy. Let them become aware of the ills they do by realizing the plight of men they plunder and doom. May that be their lot oh God. May you rescue Ukrainians and all who suffer the hand and might of callous angry men who through selfish desires and myopic reason seek to establish power for themselves and the few. May you grant Ukraine favor and the weapons to stand up. May you bring others to their aid. May you stop the war and bring destruction on those who fail to heed your warning and hate against hatred. For what is the ultimate of all things, that we become one with reality with all of our individuality, so that we are labelled into negation. In the name of that than which nothing greater can be conceived. Amen!

Today we explored the question of the question, to conduct a study of the Caribbean, where must we begin? This episode is a summary of Lecture 3 which was a five-hour long lecture. This the condensed version of Conceptualizing the course, Caribbean Thought. We ask, when we study the Caribbean Thought, including diverse currents that have shaped its present that speaks to a future, how far must we go back? Where must we start? The answer is a complex one because we stated in class that the Caribbean is an invention of the past which must now reinvent itself in the future if we are to surpass the challenges of the present. We say the Caribbean is uncompetitive stemming from a violent past that continues today through neoliberal Globalization. We did not explore neoliberal globalization but provided an understanding of Neoliberalism, Neo-capitalism &Capitalism. We explain Neoliberalism as a form of liberalism used within economics by capitalists to liberalize economies so as to penetrate thereby ensuring profit. We said that we will explore Neoliberalism in more detail later in relation to its effects on the Caribbean when we watch "Life and Debt" by Stephanie Black based on a book "A Small Place by Jamaica Kincaid - a book about Antigua whose experience of structural adjustment and fight for prosperity resembles Jamaica's so that the film could take from the book and talk about Jamaica. This speaks to the symbiotic relation between the West Indies. We examined the processes of Colonization from the perspective of Fanon who defines colonization as involving a violence of depersonalization - stripping away the individual. We provided an academic answer/response to the question: Are "White-Collar in Jamaica a Crimes a result of Colonization"? And Why are crime rates so high in places like Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica? We suggested a Marxist materialist reply - "Relative Deprivation". What is Relative deprivation? We defined it as the correlation between high crime & high poverty and income inequality. Jamaica and the Caribbean suffers from high poverty and inequality correlated with the highest crime rates in the Caribbean. This is commensurate with what is happening is black and brown communities all over the world - hence supporting the conclusion/analysis of "relative deprivation". We pointed out that to study Caribbean Thought is to do philosophical inquiry which involves logic & Descartes phenomenology, who coined "cogito ergo sum" - I think therefore I am. He recognized the subjectivity of reality outside of objective verification. Further, we pushed the exploration of knowledge by discussing Kant who says that history is a result of human nature and circumstances, and questions Newtonian Physics which formed the basis of western civilization's understanding of reality. The Caribbean as part of a reality of western civilization is influenced by that bent. We reviewed the economic history of western society and capitalism stating that it is within a system that has impoverished or weakened the Caribbean States. We revisited Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations & Weber's Protestant Ethic and Spirit of Capitalism regarding the justification and economic principle behind Capitalism. However, we challenged the wealth of nations by invoking Karl Marx who critically re-examines Adam Smith's Accumulation of Capital idea, saying that it was not one in hard work but theft and violence. This then led us to consider the socio-economic/political interests of the Caribbean such as Michael Manley and Fidel Castro who were Nationalists influenced by Marxists critique of capitalism and his idea of Communism. Caribbean Political and literary thinkers were off-center and regarded as Democratic Socialists which had threatened American domination and penetration in the region to what they had believed had given way to socialist ideology.

On January 7, the very cameras that law enforcement erected to capture and deter criminality, caught the very law enforcement committing the crimes that they intend to capture and deter. But little did these officers know that they were being recorded. They had forgotten about the cameras. Thus, they would have done something else or done it elsewhere, but if it weren't for the unseen eyes of technology, we would not have acquired the truth that has always been the modus operandi of police.
Therefore, if we are to prevent police brutality within a culture of violence, we may consider technology. The police officers who act outside of regulations do so because they know that they are not being watched and have the protection of their unions and a system that protects the purity of the batch. Police have a tendency of turning off their cameras. The ability to operate incognito provides an opportunity for them to disregard laws and abuse their power. But, if some people have power in society to enforce laws over others, and we know that power corrupts due to human nature, then it stands to reason that they must be scrutinized. They must be placed under tremendous surveillance and observation so as to ensure that they do not act outside of laws within the culture of violence and human fallenness. If we are to be resolute on stopping police violence and abuse of power, they must not have the ability to turn off their cameras and must be penalized if they do so. We must develop technology that keeps the police under surveillance. We may need to employ independent quality assurance professionals who randomly do "spot checks" on police officers on duty and implement GPS tracking on each police vehicle, weapon and uniform. If we can do these, then we would be sending a message that we are serious about police brutality and abuse of power for police would not stop their disobedience of the laws leading to death.
But to cover up the realities of abuse stemming from a history and culture of violence by the status quo, by minimizing records and narrative of its truth will never heal wounds in society that may ultimately lead to abnormalities such as civil wars, terrorism, extremism etc. This is the kind of truth that hurts, for it may contain painful things about you leading to anxiety. Sigmund Freud asserts that we use DENIAL to block as 1 of 6 defense mechanisms leading to abnormalities if not psychoanalyzed properly. Yet, Ron DeSantis Governor Ron DeSantis and the GOP in Florida is doing just that. Defense mechanisms are psychological strategies that are unconsciously used by individuals to protect from anxiety arising from unacceptable thoughts or feelings. According to Freudian theory, defense mechanisms involve a distortion of reality. Defense Mechanisms include Repression, Denial, Projection, Displacement, Sublimation and Regression (Sigmund Freud.) So, how do we deal with issues we are not dealing with properly to avert abnormalities. Desantis and the GOP need a kind of therapy and psychiatry that speaks to their psychoanalysis assessed in Freudian psychoanalytic theory of Psychology. The fix is psychological not politics or the usual human tendency to ban symptomatic of his defenses. That only pushes the problem to the unconscious creating further problems for themselves and society.

Today we explored the question of the Caribbean in light of the conceptualization of the course, Caribbean Thought. We ask, when we study and reflect on Caribbean Thought, including diverse currents that have shaped its present that speaks to a future, how far must we go back? Where must we start? The answer is a complex one because we stated in class that the Caribbean is an invention of the past which must now reinvent itself in the future if we are to surpass the challenges of the present. We say the Caribbean is uncompetitive stemming from a violent past that continues today through neoliberal Globalization. We did not explore neoliberal globalization but provided an understanding of Neoliberalism, Neo-capitalism and Capitalism. We explain Neoliberalism as a form of liberalism used within economics by capitalists to liberalize economies so as to penetrate thereby ensuring profit. We said that we will explore Neoliberalism in more detail later in relation to its effects on the Caribbean when we watch "Life and Debt" by Stephanie Black based on a book "A Small Place by Jamaica Kincaid - a book about Antigua whose experience of structural adjustment and fight for prosperity resembles Jamaica's so that the film could take from the book and talk about Jamaica. This speaks to the symbiotic relation between the West Indies. We examined the processes of Colonization from the perspective of Fanon who defines colonization as involving a violence of depersonalization - stripping away the individual. We provided an academic answer/response to the question: Are "White-Collar in Jamaica a Crimes a result of Colonization"? And why are crime rates so high in places like Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica? We suggested a Marxist materialist reply - "Relative Deprivation". What is Relative deprivation? We defined it as the correlation between high crime and high poverty and income inequality. Jamaica/ the Caribbean suffers from high poverty and inequality correlated with the highest crime rates in the Caribbean. This is commensurate with what is happening is black and brown communities all over the world - hence supporting the conclusion/analysis of "relative deprivation". We pointed out that to study Caribbean Thought is to do philosophical inquiry which involves logic and reason and an understanding of Descartes phenomenology, who coined "cogito ergo sum - I think therefore I am. He recognized the subjectivity of reality outside of objective verification. Further, we pushed the exploration of knowledge by discussing Kant who says that history is a result of human nature and circumstances, and questions Newtonian Physics which formed the basis of western civilization's understanding of reality. The Caribbean as part of a reality of western civilization is influenced by that bent. We reviewed the economic history of western society and capitalism stating that it is within a system that has impoverished or weakened the Caribbean States. We revisited Adam Smith Wealth of Nations and Max Weber Protestant Ethic and Spirit of Capitalism regarding the justification and economic principle behind Capitalism. However, we challenged the wealth of nations by invoking Karl Marx who critically re-examines Adam Smith's Accumulation of Capital idea, saying that it was not one in hard work but theft and violence. This then led us to consider the socio-economic and political interests of the Caribbean such as Michael Manley and Fidel Castro who were Nationalists influenced by Marxists critique of capitalism and his idea of Communism. Caribbean Political and literary thinkers were off-center and regarded as Democratic Socialists which had threatened American domination/penetration in the region to what they had believed was given way to socialist ideology.

We live in a country where some are quick to enact laws and apply pressure that bans black history, so as to deny and forget the violence of the past that has created the realities of black people today, where they are being brutalized and discriminated against within a systemic system that is slow to enact policies and pressure that upend this violence and discrimination as it speaks to the wider issue of accountability and action. It has become such a political issue, which is the strategy that has mitigated and diluted any effective strategy of reforming police and the systemic injustices to black and brown peoples. But thanks to video technology, we uncovered the truth that led to Tyre Nichols demise, yet another black killed by the police within a culture of police brutality and violence. In retrospect, it was not white cops that killed Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. But today, black cops beat Tyre Nichols to his death. The symptom of a society that has been damaged by colonization, a process that Frantz Fanon call the depersonalization of the individual, the black peoples, for it strips away the individual. It redefines the thing, so as to justify and advance its violent control. It comes from within a neo-capitalistic attitude of power, one that corrupts stemming from the fallen human nature. Fanon wrote, "The Negro is not. Any more than the White Man. He interrupts the usual language of the day to punctuate his violent break from standards, placing a period where a comma should be and changing the comparative constant and value of language using anymore instead of any less. Indeed, if we are to understand the damaged done to the world due to colonization and the fallen human nature, then reading Fanon's psychoanalysis of the colonized world will help to provide an analysis and an effective way forward. Therefore, it wasn't a few Police Officers that murdered Tyre Nichols, it was a police culture of Police Brutality against black and brown peoples. That hasn't changed since the Black Lives Matter marched against George Floyd/Breonna Taylor. The Memphis Police released the video of Tyre Nichols. This was a violent testimony of police brutality and a culture of violence against black people. It’s so cultural/deep, this callous attitude toward black men by police that policy won’t matter. What else must we do. They don’t care. Two years ago, after #JacobBlake was shot in the back by #police in #wisconsin! I had written: soon after Police killed an innocent unharmed Blackman in Lafayette, another story developed just yesterday of other police killings of a black man. There’s no end to their violence and vigilante justice proving only the point again that NO POLICY WILL WORK ON POLICE REFORM. Just two days ago #Police gun down #JacobBlake in #Wisconsin sparking #nationwide #protests. Today, the Memphis Police announces that it is enacting major reforms after the release of the Tyre Nichols Video, which was graphic showing four black police officers beating an unharmed and helpless Tyre, yelling for his mother. Several government officials and even the White House denounced the actions of the four police officers as criminal and callous. The video showed just how violent the police treat with black men. They vowed legal and political action. However, after George Floyd & Breonna Taylor and the #BLM protests 2 years ago, we had the same reactions and promises which resulted in what we thought were major police reforms. On June 15, 2020, I wrote that Another Black man killed by Police.... With all the looting and protestations last week surrounding police brutality on black lives and inequities in our system, they killed Rayshad Brooks on Friday; Sadly, today August 23, 2020, I am writing that same story as the cycle continues... Trayford Pellerin, a 31-year-old Black man who was fatally shot...there's been NO CHANGE. Their ability to operate incognito...--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/support
There are man-made fixtures all around us. This is well-known but why is it an important question? It is important because of the facade of truth that becomes cemented in mind, thereby forgetting the human nature that comes with these fixtures steeped in privilege, selfishness and greed. Leading to positions that takes advantage of other peoples. Therefore, we must not take for granted an existence created within our reality bent in the ways of the creators. Or else you will be left behind to hold the stick; you and your children and grandchildren. Hence, Critical Thinking is necessary as it thinks about thinking in relation to thought and rethinks the thought that was central to thinking that has position our thoughts and realities. What is Critical thinking? In its simplistic and basic definition, it is thinking about thinking and what was previously or is the current thought that build on or debunk information that leads to new discoveries of thought and positions that improves life. It is deliberately and intentionally reflecting on truths, challenging oneself whether through introspective discourse or engagements with others. It deconstructs reality by scrutinizing current knowledge and truths we have about ourselves. Critical Thinking is usually within the realm of the postcolonial, postmodern, skeptics or those who are fighting for better leading to effective and progress. This brings us to Critical Economics, which when placed within what we have said about critical thinking is then thinking & rethinking ideas and principles about economics that has come to shape how we allocate or distribute resources within society. It means looking at the inequity and distributional challenges in society today from an economics that aims to allocate resources fairly and efficiently. However, A Free-Market system has not achieved that, what economics was developed or supposed to do - distribute evenly within a perfectly competitive market. It is full of nepotism driven by neo-capitalistic forms of economics. Within a Capitalist society such as the US, where buyers & sellers transact business & set prices. However, the Feds have raised interest rates a third time in the last few months which directly affects price as it affects costs of financial instruments. The cost is passed onto the consumer. Further increases in interest rates affects behaviors in the market. People mt usually spend less and park their money in investment schemes or high-yield savings accounts if they know they're gonna get higher interest rates. Borrowers will have to pay more on their loans and therefore, less people may want to access loans. This drives down demand, especially when demand is outstripping supply given the amount of money in the economy and the limited supply. However, those without money or limited funds will bear the brunt of the cost stemming from the increase in interest rates. Raising interest rates must be understood in terms of who benefits? Lenders, Bankers, the rich, those with money who can afford to lend and garner greater returns from a slowing economy, and those who can afford to park millions in investments and high-yield savings accounts. The rest will see a freeze in salaries and wages, increase in mortgages and loans, some consumer goods given the increase in production and labor costs coming from higher interests on business loans. The cost is passed to the working class so as to keep them working class and to ensure supernormal profit for the rich. The Feds, comprised of wealthy investors financiers, old money and politicians who control monetary policies have come to supply a doctrine enshrined into psyche and academia without challenge. If the Feds increase rates to mob-up-liquidity, it means then that they are increasing the cost of living on the working class so that they can retreat to the usual, working paycheck-to-paycheck, because the thinking is that there's too much money in the economy?

I understand from the students in my Caribbean Thought Class at the Jamaica Theological Seminary that twelve million dollars was stolen from Usain Bolt’s account in a Jamaican Financial Institution; a case of the White-Collar Crimes. (Usain Bolt is the Jamaican-sprinting sensation who is a two-time world record holder at 100m and 200m distances/UsainBolt.com) A student from the class asked if the white-collar crimes occurring in Jamaica a result of colonization since we are studying Caribbean history, past present and exploring opportunities for the future. Therefore, as a class we reflected on this challenge in Jamaica and many Caribbean Countries in light of the broader issue colonization and the challenge of the Caribbean since decolonization and the presence of neoliberal globalization promoting neo-capitalistic attitudes of greed, nepotism and corruption. Below is a brief outline of the discussions which is part of a wider lecture on Conceptualizing the Caribbean Towards Developing a Caribbean Thought Academic Journal.
REFLECTIONS AND RESPONSE TO A QUESTION FROM A STUDENT IN CARIBBEAN THOUGHT ON CURRENT BEHAVIOR AND COLONIAL PAST:
Is the “White-Collar Crimes” [1] occurring in Jamaica where the rich are having their monies in banks stolen as a result of colonization? Many wealthy Jamaicans have seen hundreds of thousands of dollars leave their bank accounts, Usain Bolt lost $10, 000,000.00. Law Enforcement on the island is investigating but no one has been held responsible. This may seem to stem from a culture of corruption [2]. Yet, a student raised the issue in Caribbean Thought Class and asked, “does the behavior stem from Colonization?” Colonization meaning, the periods in the world’s history where Europe and the created privileged White Race engineered and successfully completed a systematic take-over, domination and control of the parts of the world and peoples – in Africa and the Americas. This involved what Fanon had called the depersonalization of the colonized (systematically controlled) man and woman so as to project all things within a European or Anglo-Saxon white supremacist milieu. The question is provocative and provides for a deeper reflection within academic thought that considers human nature, practices and the ultimate. We continue this on the podcast today which is available in video and audio.

If the fallen can perceive of anything better, what will upend violence? This episode is a break from academia to considers important issues in the news and a social problem and personal concern I have with the state of our boys and growing up without positive and attractive influence in their lives. We are losing them to gangs. I'm talking about our boys in Philadelphia who live in vulnerable black and brown communities who have inherited the cycle of operating within the underground economy and all that comes with that. Yet, they are not far from change for they embody "the power of the YET." I share my passions/personal stories from anthropological experiences while living in and learning about the life cycle of older adolescence transitioning to Adulthood. In the episode I discuss with Donte Nelson, Co-Producer about how we can help. We also discuss the issue of Violence. The same amount of violence that it takes to control people requires the same amount of force to push back against that violence. Such is the law of thermodynamics and physics. Yet, violence is the opium of the few and the privilege that continues its position. Violence from below is dismantled, taken to mean criminal, for that is what it is, an attack against a status quo. When is violence acceptable? Is it when violence used to stop oppression and discrimination or the invasion/penetration of the superpowers? But the world has become sophisticated, violence that disrupts leading to uprooting culture, edifices and nature is defeatist for what good is that for the people who must live off that at the end, something must remain. Then we're left with MLK & his diplomatic endeavors that only ceremonial leads to gifted freedoms and his demise, or Marcus Garvey Back-to-Africa endeavors which devolved into nepotism or the usual counterveillance of the dominant. MLK was assassinated & Garvey was jailed, deported leading to his demise. The Archaean’s had looked to Achilles the Warrior God-Man as the consummate hero through violence would vilify the Archaean’s over the Trojans for their thievery. The Jews would look to the coming of a God in Jesus who will plunder all and restore the glory of Judah, then picked up by the Greeks in their Judeo-Christianity of a Jesus Christ as the ultimate savior but departed from the image of War and violence to one of Sacrifice and Love. Yet the church had their crusades a violent religious war against another religious group for dominance and prominence. Today, violence has intensified all over the globe so that even the US today, which represented a new free world with democracy and laws, had its US capitol attacked, by the same citizens who were opposing the decision of its brethren. Through violence led by their leaders, elites using strategy and the usual jargon that enticed the base, led a coup which was an American Experiment by Extremists. Recently, a 72-year-old man went into a Dance Studio in the Monterey Park Dance Studios in LA during the Asian Lunar New Year Celebration, shot and killed ten people and injured 10. He later took his own life with his gun, when police had engaged him. Jamaica is still considered a very violent country with one of the highest crime rates and there’s been a spike in violence in Black and Brown communities in the UK and US, stemming from “Relative Depravity” Therefore, we are everywhere influenced and affected by some amount of violence, from colonization to emancipation and Current aggressions and invasions in the world today. How effective is violence a tool for change and what is the solution to all this violence? Laws that attempt to limit gun access have met walls from powerful gun lobbyists.... So, the answer must lie with Love.... This will be available as an article in The Neoliberal Journals at www.theneoliberal.com.

This is the Bonus Video of Season 6, episode 3 available on Spotify and our YouTube channel. As stated in the primary episode in audio: this episode begins the Lecture Series at the Jamaica Theological Seminary on Caribbean Thought: Towards Developing a Caribbean Thought Academic Audio Journal. This is a video episode uploaded from the class Zoom Recording as I am teaching the course via an online face-to-face module while here in Philadelphia USA. This course focuses on and explores the diverse currents of Caribbean Thought, which have influenced the development of Caribbean societies from colonialism to independence and beyond. It traces the history of resistance and examines the quest for equality and the challenge of defining Caribbean identity within this post-colonial and neoliberal Globalized world not just within the geographic sense but also in terms of a diasporic sense. It challenges the students to develop and express their own critical thinking as a Caribbean people within a unique way that helps to realize further the hope of a free independent Caribbean that is bursting with hope and opportunity. But the course understands that it requires that students begin to critique and explore their own thinking in deeply esoteric and critical way that deconstructs history and philosophy. At the end they will create their own Caribbean thought leading to a Caribbean Academic Journal of Young academics and future scholars. The Course will make you estranged from self, but it is geared towards getting you out of your bubble and to consider issues that will make you uncomfortable. The WES explored ways that we can prepare students for the global world. That means moving from the local and turning to the global as we are global citizens.The course surveys the history and philosophy of the Caribbean, the ways in which the Caribbean has emerged as a society in the shadow of colonialism and emergence of neoliberal Globalization. It examines the central ideological currents of twentieth century political thought in the region and covers broad topics such as Colonialism, Nationalism, Pan-Africanism, Socialism, Marxism, Feminism, Democratic Socialism and Neo-Conservatism, Neoliberalism, Globalization and Deconstructivism, Critical Race Theory, Strategy and the Foundations of Knowledge and the Hegemony of Faith, Economic Inequality and Poverty. Among the thinkers that will be considered throughout the course are Marcus Garvey, George Padmore, C.L.R. James, Franz Fanon, Homi Bhaba, Walter Rodney, Fidel Castro, Michael Manley, Edward Seaga, Bob Marley Kamau Brathwaite, Edouard Glissant and the Negritude movement generally, Homi Bhaba, Mike Davis, Nelson and Novella Keith, Stephanie Black and Jamaica KinCaid, Garrnett Roper, Rex Nettleford etc. Themes will be drawn from a selection of contemporary newspaper columnists, talk‐show hosts and the ideas behind the major international agencies and institutions, which have shaped post-independence policies. The selection of thinkers and social movements to be examined will vary with each semester.This is Part 1.1. Introductions2.

On the podcast today we bucked up on a group in Philadelphia at Broad & Olney on MLK day giving back to people. We had described the Caribbean Community and it's diaspora as peoples who are "Dependent" when thinking about the type of capitalism or socio-economic dynamic of the post colonial communities of the Global South & their diaspora to a lesser extent. However, on MLK day we visited a group in Philadelphia at Broad and Olney who were giving back to the community, providing various resources and information to improve the community. The group called "Caribbean Community in Philadelphia" was comprised of not only people from various parts of the Caribbean (such as Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana, Antigua etc) but also US peoples of all races those born here in the US and those Naturalized citizens or residents who originated from other parts of the world. They came together to make difference. The group's Executive Director Miranda Alexander discussed how the group started and stated that Philadelphia resembles her community in Trinidad and Tobago, in a sense. She discussed the group's involvement with the Global 360 movement helping to provide solutions to global challenges including poverty, inequality, discrimination etc. We met up with several individuals including locals from Philly, the Caribbean and Dr. Camille C. Ragin, PHD, Professor and Associate Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Temple University Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. She shares her work in the US but also how she's giving back to Jamaica, working with the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus on a study with the United Nations to explore Life Science and behaviours in Jamaica with a view to improve life and science in that country. I've been a big proponent of investing heavily in the Caribbean through science and technology if they are to be competitive in a world that has become technologically advanced. We have interviewed Dr. Andre Isaac's a former Jamaican now Chemist and Professor at College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts working to develop "ring cycles" to improve vaccines and drugs. These former Caribbean Nationals are working "to make America great", while doing work that can improve their former countries. However, it's not coordinated very well in the sense that we can coordinate the efforts better so that it has greater and targeted impact in the Caribbean. Dr. Andre example wanted to give back but does not know how to. We hope that this program provides a way those who want to give back can do so by contacting their local Caribbean Community in their state/city or by contacting Miranda Alexander of the Caribbean Community in Philadelphia or The Neoliberal Corporation www.theneoliberal.com or Rev. Renaldo McKenzie @Jamaica Theological Seminary. I Lecture a course "Caribbean Thought" at the Seminary which considers the diverse currents and movements of Caribbean including it's diaspora and those connected to Caribbean experience from here in the US as an Academic, Author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance and the upcoming book Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered with contributions from Prof. Emeritus Dr. Martin Oppenheimer, formerly of @Rutgers and @Penn and is currently my unofficial Dissertation Advisor at Georgetown University. I am hoping to develop a Caribbean Thought Academic Journal of Young scholars from the Caribbean and it's diaspora and the class Caribbean Thought and the discussions here will help to facilitate that.

What is the difference between Neoliberalism and Neo-Capitalism, if there's a difference? Secondly, is there any similarity between Neo-Capitalism and Psuedo-Communism? Thirdly, Is it fair to describe psuedo-communists as s a "cult of Marxism"? Fourthly, what's the difference between Russia and China? Which American President compares closely with Simon Bolivar? I sat down with Professor Emeritus Dr. Martin Oppenheimer to review and discuss my upcoming Book, on which he's a Contributor, Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, which is the second edition to Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance. This discussions here are academic and delve into global, geopolitical, social and social movements. They are also general and introduce the considerations we are reconsidering in this second volume. The dialogue on this episode will be published an an article in The Neoliberal Post Pilot Project Academic Journal dubbed: Towards Developing a Caribbean Thought Journal and will be available in The Neoliberal Corporation Publication at www.theneoliberal.com. Dr. Oppenheimer begins the episode with a quick critique on the editing errors and then debates with me on whether there's a difference between Neoliberalism and Neo-Capitalism. We concluded that they are different yet Neoliberalism is a process of Neo-Capitalism called the "Bureaucratic Phenomenon" (See McKenzie, Renaldo, Neoliberalism... 2021). Further, we introduce the term/concept: Whenever there's a Black Rising there's a Backlash as a play upon words and cited examples of the black lash: The Burning of Black Wall Street in 1921 and later the Bombing of MOVE and a West Philadelphia street Osage on a peace mother's day while residents were asleep. In addition we talked about Russia and China as no longer part of the Global South with their level of development and explored where former Dependent Capitalist Countries are still Dependent such as in Mexico where they have achieved industrialization and have become modernized. Yet while China has eradicated abject poverty, many are still poor with high levels of poverty.

Happy Anniversary to my Fraternity Phi Beta Sigma! This episode provides commentary on: Sports, Politics and Immigration: 1. The Buffalo Bills' GM had a Press Conference and provided an update on Damar Hamlin's recovery. 2. Kevin McCarthy is finally Speaker of the House of Representatives after the 15th round of voting. But he will be the weakest Speaker in years after several concessions, yet many of his own members distrust him and may prove to be a shaky GOP majority.3. President Biden is said to have created the current immigration problem at the border after the ending of Title IV. However, is the immigration problem really a crisis created by Biden or is not a wider international problem...You cannot fix the immigration problem, without addressing the international competition between and among countries that makes rich countries richer and poor countries and peoples caught between privilege, policy and politics poorer.Further, immigration had always followed a draconian policy based on race, class and incomes; where the best and brightest who have ties gets to escape the realities of their colonies, leaving their nascent lands devoid of brilliance and labor that could translate in helping the former colony. Yet this very policy is what benefits the post-industrial countries of the global north. A policy that identifies two types of immigrants, one from the north and another from the south, one that is white and Anglo-Saxon and another that is black or brown, one that is connected and has ties and another that is not. So that such discriminatory policy created a situation where people who really need to emigrate find it harder to do so vis-à-vis their other countrymen of higher esteem who are more welcomed creating a brain drain for the former colonies of the global south like Jamaica.Recently President Biden was derided over his handling of the immigration situation currently occurring on the US border where hundreds of migrants are illegally crossing the border since the ending of Title IV. This means that the Trump-era policy that ended granting asylum to refugees went into effect. However, many from the global south running to the global north usually have no escape or no way than to justify their way in through seeking asylum-which means demeaning their own country which are innocent victim of a draconian international system that has left the post-colonial country behind and dependent. The rationale for many immigrants seeking asylum is usually that their former country is violent, unjust, evil and they are running for their lives. But is this true, or the only way that these people can get into richer countries who have created and supported this narrative about the global south. The global south is thus a victim of politics and peoples, the prey and the hunter. The global south since the genocide of its first peoples have been so abused yet still a place to vacate. Nevertheless, travel between the global south and global north is uniquely different. Those going to the global south are going as tourists, while those coming to the global north from the global south are coming as refugees or to work, with much surveillance surrounding their life.But this situation is good or beneficial to maintaining power and control. It provides the opportunity that allows post-industrial countries to continue holding the advantage within a highly competitive world. Why shouldn’t the consequence of brain drain be an effective strategy for any country to hold an advantage. This is discussed on the podcast and is an excerpt of my new book Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered out next month. This is also loosely discussed in my first book Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance, we will pick up this topic when I teach Caribbean Thought at The Jamaica Theological Seminary. www.theneoliberal.com https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/support

In the 1950s to the early 1960s many talented black basketball players never made it to the NBA or the ABA, where did they end up?A. They played in independent leagues such as Rucker’sB. They played in Independent Leagues such as Sonny HillC. They played in Independent Leagues such as Baker’s LeagueD. They played in Independent Leagues such as Future Leagues in PhillyE. All of the aboveF. I do not know enough about that history to make a decisionToday, we continue the Podcast series sharing the sit down we had with Donald Ducky Birts, The Risk Taker, among first African American Businessman in Camden NJ and Semi Sports Professional who was active in the civil rights movement, friend of Dr. MLK Jr. and Rev. Jesse Jackson and ran the local civil rights movements here in Philly and Camden NJ. We learned a lot about his life and a part of history that we never considered as it relates to civil rights, professional sports and those who we never hear about but who have worked tirelessly to help reposition the black and brown position and improve relations between races, people we can look to for inspiration such as Ducky. We continue his story and a reading of his book in Part 2 of the series on Ducky.We will read from chapters two and three and skip chapters 4 and four and wrap up this part with chapter five, looking at Ducky’s involvement and contribution in and to Sports, Politics and the Civil Rights. We will break up the episode in segments sharing some moments of the interview we had with Ducky, which also features Co-host Donte Nelson and others.Here’s an excerpt of the reading for today which is worth sharing here:“The Baker League consistently ran out enough star quality players to win a National Basketball Association (NBA) championship. You have to understand that at the time, the NBA teams were bringing in a limited number of blacks into the league. If you weren’t Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, Elgin Baylor or Guy Rodgers, the nations’ highest profile players, you had to hope that a General Manager or a Head Coach would demand to bring in such players as Sam Jones from North Carolina, a Willis Reid from Grambling, or an Earl Monroe from Winston-Salem State Teachers College…. But many talented black players never made it to the NBA. Instead, they played in …,” Listen to the podcast for the answer as we interview the stalwart and cardinal black Hall-of-Famer Ducky and read from his book “Ducky, The Risk Taker,” by Donald Ducky Birts as told to Kendall Wilson, Narrated by Renaldo McKenzie, only on The Neoliberal Round Podcast, Season 5, episode 11 Part 2 of a four-part series.Rev.

I sat down with Ishmael, A Russian American to discuss what's going on in Russia and in particular, why don't the Russian people rise up? It was quite interesting and revealing. The episode featured Co-Host Maurice Smith. We made several points on the podcast that is worth mentioning here:
1. Ishmael is a Jewish, Russian American whose Grandparents are from and live in Ukraine today.
2. Russians are against the war but are too poor to do anything about it as they spend their lives trying to survive; many can't even afford a washing machine.
3. All Russian males are automatically drafted into the army.
4. Elites are connected to Putin and would rather sell-off Chelsea FC than speak against or denounce Putin who has helped to grease the pockets of the oligarchs, many of whom are part of the same fraternity.
5. Why replacing Putin doesn't solve the problem of the Ukrainian invasion, as Putin is part of and head of the same fraternity that shares his ideals, Ex- KGB agents wanting the old Russia....
Listen to the podcast for the discussions and the story from the perspective of Ishmael with comments from Maurice who joins me on the show today on Anchor.fm, Spotify, Apple Podcast, Amazon Music, Audible, Google Podcast, I-Heart Radio, Radio Public, Podvine, The Alexa App, Podcast, Stitcher, renaldocmckenzie.com and theneoliberal.com etc.

Yet, the expectations on him were great, to become an adult, raise a family while working in an industry requiring basic education, getting base pay.

Who is Donald "Ducky" Birts and how is he an important figure in the fight for civil rights? This is a special episode series which features Donald "Ducky" Birts, his life, work and a recent interview we did with him. We also read from his book "The Risk Taker" which is a biography about his life written by Kendall Wilson. The interview will be split in several segments, interrupted by readings from his book.
The entire episode will feature the interview and the reading of his book which will take up three episodes. This is part 1 of the three-part episode.
Donald "Ducky" Birts was and still is a Civil Rights Activist, Entrepreneur and the first African American to open up successful business in Camden and among the first in Philadelphia. He was the first to accomplish several feats and according to Rev. Leon Sullivan, who wrote the Foreword in the book: "There are very few individuals who have done more for the people of Philadelphia and Camden than Donald "Ducky" Birts. I have known "Ducky" for nearly 30 years. I have watched him grow and develop and, more important, he has not forgotten his roots. "Ducky" has dedicated his life to helping the people and the community. This great man was there when I started our Progress Plaza in the 1960s and he has continued to give back to others less fortunate. As a businessman and risk taker, "Ducky" has been in the forefront of Black entrepreneurship and economic development. He has set an example for others of what commitment and hard work can achieve. I salute the extraordinary talents and tremendous achievements of one of the most remarkable men to have ever come out of the Philadelphia area," (Rev. Len Sullivan, 12th November in the Risk Taker).
The Neoliberal Round Podcast is honored to have had the chance to chronicle and showcase his life, work and book and to have had the opportunity to interview such a remarkable man. Ducky is currently battling illness and was recently admitted to the ICU. We wish him and his family and brothers at the Prince Hall Masons strength during this troubling time for Ducky and continue to pray for him.
The interview and reading are done by Renaldo McKenzie, author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance, which is available in all platforms worldwide. Renaldo will release Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered in 2023. Renaldo is also host of The Neoliberal Round Podcast available in over 10 platforms worldwide.

Question: Was the January 6th Hearing on Trump a waste of time and taxpayers' dollars when the FBI and DOJ could have done what they did and bring criminal charges, which the committee cannot?
Have you seen the latest from the January. They have referred the matter to the DOJ. Will this amount to anything? Did the committee achieve its goals? What legal bearings does it have, and will the DOJ pursue the findings and do their own investigation? Can there be civil litigations based on this report even without the DOJ taking the matter up? Republicans were on this committee and voted against Trump, what does this say about Trump's standings in the party? What's the latest from your filing? This episode provides a commentary and reports on the recent January 6th Hearing Findings and recommendation. The committee ended by referring Donald J. Trump for criminal charges to the DOJ and also referred 6 other Republicans to the ethics committee for disregarding their subpoenas to appear before the committee.
We discuss this breaking news within the concept of Neoliberalism and ahead of my new book Neoliberal Globalization reconsidered.
I also provided an update on the John A Castro's filing against the FEC and Trump saying that Donald J. Trump is ineligible based on his involvement in the January 6. Johan A Castro is a 2024 Presidential Candidate, a member of the GOP. He also provided us with a quick comment on the recent recommendation on the January 6 committee which we discuss on the show. "I don’t think they’ll indict. Committee laid the groundwork for the civil case to disqualify Trump. Their findings can and will be integrated into the challenge to his candidacy," John A. Castro.
In this commentary, I lifted up come points raised in the new book on the January 6 insurrection: Moreover, the recent January 6 insurrection on the US Capital suggested a deeply rooted backlash by a status quo who had believed that its privilege was being threatened by the rising Black and Brown majority. Hence, with violence they attacked without apology. This behavior seems to support what Martin Oppenheimer had observed from Trotsky that, “every class struggle is thus a political struggle, which in its objectives aims at the abolition of the existing order and at the establishment of a new system,” (Trotsky) and then concluded that “when that new system has been established, if the class that has made a revolution and created a state in its own interest, is too weak to dominate its state, another class may develop to usurp power, and alter the state to meet its requirements,” (Oppenheimer, 13 – 14, 2000). So that the status quo, today, who launched the January 6 attack, would justify it's counterviolence as a plausible and justifiable action to protect its dominance.... Moreover, violence on top of violence creates more violence, which was evident when on January 6 a group of white extremists embarked on a mission to overthrow the US government and referenced, as a rationale for their insurrectionist tactics, that they were using the same violent means Black Lives Matter Movement activists were using during the US protests against the killing of George Floyd, Brianna Taylor and other Black and Brown peoples. But as we move into the tectonic age, information and the control of it is becoming the avenue for which social movements can stake their greatest claim and launch their most lethal strategy to realize equality, justice and equal opportunity for all. The decentralization of social media is the greatest victory for peoples in society, especially those that are marginalized and most vulnerable. The people of the global south, black and brown peoples have all suffered under Neoliberal Globalization and strategies of power that poses problems for human progress and people everywhere, (McKenzie, Renaldo, 2023, Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered.

This Podcast is not necessarily religious or produced by any religious organization. However, we also delve into theological concepts and matters of faith and all things that speaks to life and society within an interdisciplinary framework. Therefore, the podcast is dynamic, moving beyond themes of Neoliberalism to consider issues of Power and matters of faith, justice, economics, politics and even music etc. because these speak to how life is arranged and the dynamics within. Yet beyond that, we believe that there is an ultimate, a divine being that intervenes in our life in so far as we believe or the extent of our faith and perspectives. Therefore, as we draw closer to Christmas, we continue to use the opportunity to reflect on the Divine, and the birth, life and death of Christ and the meanings this may have for human progress in terms of realizing that which is the ultimate of all things - to live as one in reality with all of our individuality. The Podcast today features 1. a brief reflection I gave at the Old First UCC church on Forgiveness and 2. Special Music - a live performance of "Faling in Love with Jesus" by Nate and Renaldo, and acapella by Ricardo and Renaldo singing, "How Great is our God." This Podcast seeks to be part of a solution towards rediscovering the Spirit in our society so as to develop the human conscience which in some measure is serving the world today to solve tomorrow's challenges. The message comes from Luke 23: 34. In retrospect, the documentary film which showcased Aretha Franklin's life played by Jennifer Hudson, provided a powerful scene where the Queen of Soul had fallen into a life of alcoholism and despair. Struggling to find herself, she returned to church after her dad had told her that she had lost the spirit and objected his critiqued; only to find herself on the rebound after doing a gospel album which was her number one selling album. For Aretha, the Ultimate had intervened, and she found comfort, inspiration and fulfillment from returning to her roots, the church and had reconciled with her father. What is it that may help your rebound and what resolution is needed in your life and relationships so that you can move on?

Question: Who won the trade between Russia and the USA, where Victor Bout, Death-Merchant was traded for Brittney Griner the WNBA-Star? And do you agree with John A. Castro, US 2024 Presidential Candidate, calling Former President Donald J. Trump's recent statement on Twitter, calling for more insurrection, "treasonous?" and Is It Ok to Mandate Having Health Insurance That Is Privatized? We discuss these questions on the Podcast today, which features several contributors, Maurice, Joesph, Jermaine, Donte and Renaldo McKenzie, Host. The Episode is powerful and highly explosive with intense arguments between the commentators especially concerning the Brittney Griner release as it has become a contentious subject in America, given what the US had to give up to get the WNBA star. The episode is divided into three main segments where each of the questions above are discussed separately.
In segment 1, I make this point that: Americans we must know that when we visit countries like #russia #china, we must be on "pins and needles". Brittney Griner broke a law that we think was nothing but when in Rome do as the Romans do for others are looking to opportunities to gain political advantage. You may visit our community page on Spotify, Reddit or Twitter and log your reply to the poll question on who won the trade between the US and Russia - regarding Britney Griner.
In the second segment: ➤ John Anthony Castro A US 2024 Presidential Candidate replied via Twitter to Former President Donald J. Trump inciteful and violence-riddled tweet for he had an #ulteriormotive-another #insurrection and demonstration of extremist violence against democracy and the people and this great USA. Mr. Castro said: “and there you have it. He’s finally shown his true colors. He wants to terminate the US Constitution. For those of us that are Constitutional Conservatives, we will go to any lengths to ensure this never happens. What’s the penalty for treason again?” #realJohnAnthonyCastro via Twitter. He’s spot on and seems to be doing critical thinking and wide analysis here, looking beyond the surface of #donaldjtrump statements, which seems to resemble similar statements leading up the January 6 insurrection. Further, it would seem that Mr. Trump has not learnt anything. No #justice or accountability have been meted out to the minds behind the January 6 Attack. Only the foot soldiers and working class, probably the #lumpen who are easily used to do the work of those who through stealth and strategy and words that enrage, inflame promote division and violence to gain or maintain an advantage.
In segment 3: I end with a brief commentary: You can’t require people to do something that in order for them to do it they must pay huge sums of money to greedy insurance companies that sell the service the very law is mandating.

I met up with a group of young people in Center City Philadelphia, who had set up a prayer station in City Hall, offering prayers, sharing hot chocolate and their faith. In fact, I interviewed two of the young people present, Collin and Mckenna, who spent the time to talk with me about their own transformation experience, sharing their faith from a handbook. Importantly, we were reminded that Orthodox Christians views salvation from a "theology of the already but not yet" - we are saved, we are being saved and we shall be saved, indication the transformational journey of the Christian experience. While speaking with Collin and McKenna, you could hear the other YAM youths announcing, "Hot chocolate, free bibles..." and praying for people who stopped to peruse the tables and to have coffee or grab some free literature. Towards the end, I sing a song that was written and composed by my twin brother, Ricardo McKenzie and yours truly - Renaldo McKenzie - years ago, that we had performed at a "Youth for Christ" Event and won the Caribbean Duet Competiton for. It's entitled: "Why Don't You Call Upon the Divine". The YWAM group wears red and white and will be in Center City for the rest of the week and probably the month from 11:00am - 3:00pm with their Prayer Station, offering prayers and sharing free literature, words of encouragement, prayers and their faith.
Who are YWAM: "Youth With A Mission" reaches out in 180+ countries through three main areas — Evangelism, Training and Mercy Ministry.
Their ministries cover every sphere of society, including ship-based medical care, performing arts teams, Bible training programs, business coaching, sports ministries, anti-trafficking work, and many more. From a late-night vision of waves of young people reaching every continent, given to a 20-year-old in the Bahamas, to a global ministry with over 20,000 workers, the growth of YWAM is the story of God’s inspiration, God’s grace for many mistakes, and the creativity of the Holy Spirit’s leading. The heart of YWAM–to worship God, to serve God’s global purposes, and to champion young people–remains as strong as it was in the beginning. You may visit them at www.ywam.org

Do you believe that Resource-Based Sentencing & Supervision dilutes punishment as a deterrence to crime, since opportunities are limited or lacking in communities where some may still gain from turning to illegality? But not all crimes stem from lack of opportunities, some are a result of poor or sudden decision-making to gain advantage or from having adrenaline-rush leading to actions devoid of conscience a critical thinking in the moment; and that could be any of us. So, the answer cannot be lopsided, but the opening question is. For this episode, we continue to explore the Sentencing Funding whose Web Release event was held recently in Philadelphia, December 1, 2023. We were present and provided coverage, interviewing several of the organizers, board members, other attendees who were either benefactor, stakeholders, ex-offenders, Institutions heads etc. Today is the final part in the series. The episode will feature Rosalind Blackwell, an ex-offender who is now running her own re-entry program in Philadelphia. She makes a powerful point saying: “we can keep spending $45,000.00 per year to house in-mates or we can let Judge Sawyer not re-sentence them and send them to her re-entry program and will pay them 15/hr. in wages… I’m a testimony of what can be done [and needs to be done]," Rosalind B. And there’s no denying that. Nevertheless, there are those who still argue that those who have been victimized, by their offenders who have served their time and or got their times cut short on good behavior and are now or can now get access to opportunity and resources, may still be reeling from that victimization, suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or some setbacks caused by the victimization of the crime and lack access and opportunity or worthwhile recovery of their loss. What actions are there to also improve or assist those who have suffer setbacks from crime/violence & how do we reconcile these detractions from the program?
However, every crime or violent act cannot and must not be viewed in the general and must be taken on the merits of the particular crime. So, the program towards restoring an individual through the provision of resources requires a deeper understanding of incarcerations, victimization, relative deprivation, poverty, racism and discrimination, bad policing and new discoveries in legal matters and the law, rehabilitation, and also the preservation of society. So, towards the end of the episode, we brought back the interview we did earlier with Judge Sawyer who provided more details about the weakness of sentencing and the need for resourced-based sentencing and supervision.
Finally, I concluded that we are reminded in scriptures, that all have sinned a have fallen short; there is not one that is righteous. So, we are all in need of restoration & forgiveness. Lest we forget the golden rule, do unto others what we want others to do unto us. Hence, we must be able to move beyond ourselves & situations in order to see the bigger picture then we can truly move to social action. Importantly, justice is not just about finding fault, but also restoring both the victim and the perpetrator as both goes hand in hand. Therefore, we cannot be selfish in our pity and victimization, but must move to forgiveness as we are reminded that judge not lest ye be judge, and no man is so pure that at any point he may find himself somewhere he was not before and requires the same mercy that he had once with-held when he was the hand that held the handle.

This is the full (audio) episode to the series on The Sentencing Foundation. Today we feature a powerful story from Suavo Gonzales, an ex-offender on life-time parole. who is now a Pulitzer Prize Winner. Question, how many ex-offenders are there in Philadelphia alone? 275, 000, most of whom are Black/Brown peoples from communities ravished by poverty, low incomes and rising crime and violence. We did a podcast series on What's Life Like in Philadelphia, where many people suggested a fathers' movement as younger men are beset by crime/violence & are lacking responsible fathers. However, many fathers are incarcerated & the lack of resources for ex-offenders create further challenges in rehabilitation. Thus, the cycle of incarcerations from lack of fathers continues. However, judges are coming together to help with not just locking up offenders but creating a way that rehabilitates offenders; so, that they can re-enter society with resources to provide for themselves, their families and communities. Suavo, a former in-mate who is now on Parole, shares his powerful story, how his parole/re-entry in society was not easy, yet was able to access resources despite uncertainty/lack that has helped him to become an empowering figure to other parolees, a ghost-writer of several books and a Pulitzer Prize Winner of a successful podcast with a successful career at a college. Suavo was at the web launch and made a vital comment about the importance of the foundation that without opportunities then those coming back into society or people on a whole can't live responsible and effective lives advancing society. Therefore, the foundation plays a pivotal role in raising awareness about mass incarcerations and provide resources that help the Resource-Based Sentencing and Supervision to provide resources to in-mates, ex-offenders and parolees. The series will feature one more powerful story from an ex-offender who is now running her own re-entry programs in Philadelphia.In addition, the series is an audio podcast series with two bonus episodes that feature the two stories from ex-offenders who shares how access to resources help them to overcome the odds and are now effective members of society working for change. It is important to point out here, in relation to Suavo's statement about providing opportunity and its lack in society, Equal opportunity is an afront to inequality and advantage that some have and want to maintain. So, if providing opportunities means others will come up, then those who are ahead, which is the case in society, may be suspicious of the competition from the uprising based in opportunity and equal access, and may be slow to provide any opportunity and or may prefer to limit opportunity. So, it will be interesting to follow how this effort will take shape and whether it will find support in other communities/nationwide. We also feature the Directors of the Program and explore voting & political will.Renaldo McKenzie is Creator and Host of The Neoliberal Round Podcast, which is available anywhere you get your stream, including Anchor.fm.

Today we share a brief excerpt of the Live Official Pres Conference by the Colorado Springs Law Enforcement and their District Attorney's and Mayor's office concerning the shooting at Nightclub Q, an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs. On November 19, 2022, a lone gunman entered the Nightclub and fired his gun into the nightclub. He entered the club shooting indiscriminately, killing five and injuring several, before two men, Thomas and Richard disabled the gunman and beating him to the ground. The suspect is currently recovering from injuries and is to be formally arrested and charged and taken in for questioning. according to Mr. Michael Allen, the District Attorney in Colorado reported.
This shooting speaks to a wider and larger issue in society; the rise in extremism, and not just black-on-black violence stemming from poverty and other social decays, but there have been several incidents of violence in America aimed at certain groups based on a particular political, racial, ethnic or religious bias. Moreover, today, Russia is justifying their violence as a world saving mission because Putin believe that Ukraine seems to be taken on values that are anti-Russian and threatens their dominance and majority in the region. Hence, while we seek justice for the victims of this heinous attack, there are those who feel justified for their actions of violence.
The suicide bombers who had hijacked the planes on 9/11 felt justified and believed that they were serving Allah and that virgins would meet them when they die.
The January 6 insurrectionists believed that they were justified and within their rights to attack, with violence, the US capitol to usurp or protect their power which was a demonstration of their privilege.
While the 18-year-old white male who used his AK-47 and gunned down 11 African Americans at a supermarket felt justified as he was entranced by white extremists' replacement ideology. This behavior is taken root, as people either seek to privilege a biased position or envy another's. This is the end of progress and continues the challenges we face as humanity. Until we learn that the ultimate of all things is that we become one reality in all of our individuality.
I provide commentary on the shooting at the Nightclub with excerpts of the news conference and then provide an analysis in relation to a wider issue on extremism, Occidentalism, orientalism and the problem of power, position, status and how their strategies prose challenges for society and is the result of the dynamics that pertains in society today. I begin to raise these concepts in my new Book: Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, which will be out late December, early 2023, and this also provides a foundational and anecdotal basis to continue looking and studying power and the dynamics of human society.
ethnocentrism, #occidentalism #orientalism #bias and #privilege & challenges to progress within the #humanDymanics

Breaking News: John A Castro, a US 2024 Presidential Candidate and a Contributor the podcast has submitted a MOTIONS FOR RELIEF against Donald Trump and the FEC requesting a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) which may essentially upend Trump's candidacy if granted. The Court is to make a decision within the next 24 hours. John Castro joins us to discuss his motions and to update on this breaking news.
"Plaintiff John Anthony Castro, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. §§ 701-706 and Fed. R. Civ. P. 65, moves this Honorable Court for the entry of a Temporary Restraining Order (“TRO”) enjoining Defendant Federal Election Commission (“FEC”) from accepting, processing, retaining, recognizing, giving consideration of, or otherwise giving effect to Donald J. Trump’s FEC Form 2, Statement of Candidacy, on the basis that such action by Defendant FEC would constitute agency action not in accordance with law since Donald J. Trump is a constitutionally ineligible candidate pursuant to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Alternatively, if and only if the Court determines that a Temporary Restraining Order is not appropriate despite the time sensitive nature of the matters and threat of irreparable harm, Plaintiff moves this Honorable Court for a Preliminary Injunction and requests a Hearing with an Expedited Briefing Schedule.
A. BACKGROUND
On January 30, 2022, Plaintiff John Anthony Castro formally registered with the Federal Election Commission as a 2024 candidate for the Republican nomination for the Presidency of the United States. On July 25, 2022, Plaintiff John Anthony Castro filed a Complaint for Declaratory and injunctive Relief (“Compl.”) (Docket No. 1) pursuant to the judicial review provision of the Federal Election Campaign Act (“FECA”), 52 U.S.C. § 30109(a)(8), and the judicial review provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. §§ 701 - 706.2 2 See https://www.fec.gov/data/candidate/P40007320/?tab=about-candidate. Case 1:22-cv-02176-RC Document 18 Filed 11/16/22 Page 9 of 302
Count I is based upon an administrative complaint that Plaintiff filed with Defendant on March 23, 2022. Plaintiff’s administrative complaint sought to compel Defendant to declare Donald J. Trump a “candidate” within the meaning of FECA. Defendant failed to act on the administrative complaint within 120 days. Federal law, pursuant to 52 U.S.C. § 30109(a)(8)(A), grants the right of judicial review if the FEC fails to act on an administrative complaint within 120 days. As such, the jurisdiction for Count I stems from 52 U.S.C. § 30109(a)(8)(A) due to the FEC’s failure to act within 120 days regarding Donald J. Trump’s activities mandating his statutory classification as a “candidate” given the invalidity of the FEC’s Testing the Waters regulations under the U.S. Supreme Court’s Home Concrete standard. Count II effectively states that, because Plaintiff has alleged in his Complaint that Donald J. Trump engaged in, provided aid to, or provided comfort to the insurrectionists that violently attacked our United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, if Defendant were to accept Donald J. Trump’s FEC Form 2, Statement of Candidacy, that would constitute agency action “not in accordance with law” pursuant to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. In other words, because factual allegations in a complaint must be accepted as true and Plaintiff’s Complaint specifically alleges that Trump engaged in, aided, or comforted insurrectionists, it must be accepted as true that Trump does not satisfy Section 3 of the 14th Amendment and is, therefore, ineligible to pursue public office. If Defendant were to accept Donald J. Trump’s FEC Form 2, Statement of Candidacy, that would constitute final agency action under 5 U.S.C. § 704 that is “not in accordance with law” under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A) specifically prohibits. As such, the jurisdiction for Count II stems from 28 U.S.C. § 1331."

This Podcast is specifically created for and is a live excerpt of a Sunday Morning Worship which explored the concept and practice of "worship" in theory. Worship comes from Greek “Proscuneos” meaning to prostrate oneself in submission before the Ultimate acknowledging that God is more that than which nothing greater can be conceived or imagined. Yet, the conclusion maybe an internal experience of beings who are grappling with the external reality of life that signals a void within concerning the essence of life without any ultimate causation or correlational links based within the internal limitations of mind. Nevertheless, there is no denying the symbiotic and multiplicity of this deeply esoteric experience of the ultimate from a life lived within connections with the external that are within themselves beyond personal verification, only objective cooperation of what is, since reality is cogito ergo sum, a personal experience as is faith where one must work out one's own salvation as we are reminded in the Christian Bible. Essentially, the Ultimate of life is the idea of God that is an international concept and experience that is historical and close to the beginning of time if life had a beginning, which is uppermost in the thinking of beings whether they follow with strict adherence or are opposed all together with matters of faith. Hence, we will share on this podcast the concept of worship as we delve into this idea of unlocking divine intervention. This is a brief discussion on Worship with music from Phil Thompson "My Worship" and H.E.R "Hold Us Together" with adlibs and added sounds by Donte Nelson and Renaldo McKenzie who adds their vocals to the music for dynamic mix.
Thank you for listening!

Where is The Congos? Why are there two Congos in Africa, what are they and why the difference? It is by revisiting the history of colonization, conquest and wars that one will come to realize these answers. On the Podcast today, we met up with two young ladies who are currently living in the US but are from The Democratic Republic of Congo and not The Republic of Congo. The Congos were colonized by two competing European Countries, France and Belgium, so that today, these independent African Countries are separated by a hybrid identity largely the result of European domination and conquest where one half of these peoples were colonized by the French so that today The Repulic speaks French and the other half, Belgium so that the Democratic Republic speaks Belgium. The Congos are currently independent nations since 1960 but just like other colonized countries in Africa and the global south, are dependent capitalist countries, with high levels of poverty and some amount of instability and local infighting over whatever resources is left after European domination. However, we learn that The Congo while an important country with a resource used to make many devices we hold in our hands today, they are the creators of rumba and are a very bucolic simple society with deep culture, varied cuisine and flavorful music. However, the study of the Congo continues to reveal the reality and result of the Black Position in the world today. The discussions here form part of a study on looking at the development of privilege and power and the reality of the human dynamics today as we study power and its strategies problems for human progress. But what is interesting, is that almost every former colonized country today, except for Canada and the US that had white settlers and the Puritans from Europe, and to some extent South Africa, are struggling dependent capitalist countries with high levels of crime and violence and some amount of instability. Further, not only is this situation evident nationally, but among peoples and places in post-industrial countries where there is concentration of black and brown people, progenitors of nations that suffered conquest and domination under colonialization and the slave trade. This is discussed in my book Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance, and is picked up in Book 2 - Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered.

This is an excerpt of a Lecture I presented to a group on "Pan African and Caribbean Thought," exploring the "Corner Boys" Mentality; within a Gen-Z's, Gen-X's and Post Millennial's Milieu. It is an interdisciplinary analysis utilizing anthropological/ethnographic methods and Participant observation.
The discussions forms part of a wider study on "Privilege, Power, Position and Status, looking at how power and its strategies poses problems for progress and its effect on the changing human dynamics in society which.
The analysis provides an anecdotal and an initial understanding on the minds and behaviors of the Gen-Z's corner boys who seem to have acquired the one percent mindset of "getting money...staying fresh" without having the usual hard commitment to wider society's values and morals to hold them back. It's all about "getting money" - living the dream; the systems and laws are beneath them and can be summed up in this motto: "the law is not a shackle".
I provide an initial analysis and assessment to my students and also made a comment at the end about Twitter and Elon Musk who have slashed their staff in half since the Elon takeover after requiring them to work hours thinking that they would be able to keep their jobs, (which seemed to have been a strategy to get the staff to do one year's work in two weeks so that the layoffs wouldn't cost them anymore losses), is now charging $8/month to get and to keep a blue verified account. This seems draconian and based on members ability to pay, not on members credibility and reputation which Elon Musk had tweeted was based on privilege. Nevertheless, Elon and Twitter have turned around and is doing the same thing, only this time, they have changed the game and switch privileges from those who are reputable to anyone who can pay.
Finally, we concluded with a brief discussion on Facebook and Meta which has defrauded many Digital Creators out of their Reels after promising that they would pay these members for their created and posted Reels. Many Video Reel Creators suddenly started to experience glitches with their accounts and lost access to their accounts and payments and then were required to reverify their accounts through notary and other requirements or create new accounts. But up to now, many Creators have not been paid and Facebook and Meta have not provided any public and substantial reply concerning the issue. However, they are slashing staff due to business slowdowns.
But business is bad for Meta because the platform is not user-friendly and has tremendous control over user accounts. Further, Meta has several security issues and kinks that need to be resolved and members continue to complain that they are not paid for their reels and pay out accounts are constantly coming up with error notifications. So, it is no wonder that Facebook/Meta has to cut staff given the downturn in revenues as the company continues to lose reputational value among its Facebook fans.

Many candidates are declaring that they will challenge the Midterm results due to election fraud and irregularities. And guess what, they may not be conspiracy theories as we have encountered some election irregularities in Philadelphia. Question: Do you believe the midterms were filled with enough irregularities to warrant a challenge and was your experience like? We woke up this morning to the reality that there was no #redsea as if God had parted the "red sea"; as the GOP seem to be split down the middle with the #TheDemocrats which will preserve the balance! Yet, Trump seemed to be the factor that helped the #dems… and this … I have Breaking News regarding the Midterm Elections 2022 today concerning election irregularities in Philadelphia PA. I discuss and report on this with Ricardo McKenzie and Maurice Smith who are senior professionals in their field and Ricardo is a consultant with a logistics firm and a senior Advisor to the Board at The Neoliberal Corporation, Maurice Smith a brother with Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity and a City Social and Human Services Professional in Philadelphia. I will share in this episode my experience voting for the first time and what I discovered about some irregular voting practices in my district. Further, Ricardo makes a poignant point how, divided a need divisive we are… he [Donald Trump] pulls out the ugly and shows what the underbelly of America can be. It needed Donald Trump to come to power to demonstrate and realize what was always beneath - how divided and divisive we are. How fragile our society is and how it’s necessary for us to combat against this; so that we do not end up in this position that has come to define politics and society….

This Episode is quite powerful as I met up with Irene, at the Philadelphia Airport who was travelling from L.A returning home to Deptford NJ. Irene is retired and had just visited her son in L.A. In this street vibe, Irene shares some poignant insights on L.A., Philly and Deptford NJ & How Life & Politics is Changing in America Today. In fact, although Irene resides in Deptford, she is originally from Philadelphia, but ten years ago, she moved to Deptford, NJ. Deptford NJ is a quiet, clean and relatively affluent neighborhood. Irene, who works as a partner at a Jewelry store, shared how she had recently lost her husband to COVID towards the end of the pandemic in 2021 and how it was a very sad time for her and her family as his passing was sudden. So, this trip to L.A. was supposed to help provide catharsis and therapy as she continues to grapple with the love of her life's death. Hower, while the trip to L.A. was wonderful, she critiqued that it was also disappointing, because some of the places she visited were depressing and scary compared to Beverly Hills where Tyler Perry and Adele's live whose houses, she also had the chance to visit. Moreover, she made a very recommendation to our political leaders and technocrats about how Philly is changing and that if only we could "clean up the streets... you can't just spend all that money Downtown or near the casinos". Further, as we vote in America today for city, state and some congressional leaders, she question whether her vote counts for anything given all the deterioration and decay in certain places in America and that so much money is spent on adds and campaigns but that very little is being done to help may depressed and vulnerable places. Irene retorts, "does my vote even count?" Nevertheless, she paused a bit, sighed and said, I will vote though as it is important, in a way indicating that it was part of her civic duty.
The episode with Irene was very insightful and refreshing as it provided another perspective about life in America especially in L.A., Philly and Deptford NJ from viewpoint of a retiree who is white, yet concerned about poor black/brown, vulnerable and poor communities and cities to the point that she is now questioning whether she should vote considering the ineptitude of our leaders to do anything about these communities.

Kyrie Irving was redefined & his intentions reinterpreted to control his freedom of expression & masculinity which has always been the strategy to enslave & to control. What is it to question someone’s faith? Isn’t it a matter of theology, requiring an apologetic response. What is it to question someone’s faith? Is it Antisemitic? …probably when questioning a certain belief or faith as faiths and beliefs are questioned and attacked every day. But isn’t this the modus operandi. Stephen A. Smith said in this clip on his show ESPN First Take that Kyrie doesn’t have the right or shouldn’t question someone’s faith or belief? But why is that so? When did we come to a point to not want to question another’s faith when this is done every day between and among faiths. The orthodox Christian faith call the Jehovah Witnesses “Cults” meaning a group claiming to be Christians but deny the essential tenets of the Faith. Moreover, Tom Cruise was seen as weird for joining the church of Scientology and many castigate and lambast the Muslim faith as terrorists so on and so forth. This questioning faith is a normal part of the exchanges that occur to arrive at truth or personal faith and theologians defend their faith through apologetics. Apologetics is the use of logic to defend the faith. The apologist is is who must offer a credible response to kyrie, not demanding apology but engaging in apologetics. However, we have become so sensitive and hypocritical; KYRIE can only speak basketball as if he’s livestock, but he cannot challenge and critique history; only the privileged must do so. We therefore stifle and attack his freedoms of expression and speech forcing an apology for what the ADL said caused hurt. But we are told in Psychology that people are not responsible for other feelings. Because people are different and respond to stimuli differently and therefore as a way to mitigate conflict, we use I-Messages so as to not blame based on this fact. Yet the NBA and media is forcing an apology that blames KYRIE for causing grief as if he has that power to do so and requiring him to do what others are not asked to do which then appears to be a matter of pharasaicalism/race. However, as good people who promote life and peace, he should seek to facilitate brotherhood and sisterhood. Nevertheless, we should not deny his critical thinking and freedom of expression by redefining his expressions as foreign and anti-anything to control his masculinity which others are freely able to flaunt. The issue of questioning the Jews’ origin and experience so long as it is not full of hate is a matter of theology requiring an apologetic response. Creator/Host: Renaldo C.

Breaking News: Nets Suspends Kyrie 5 games without pay for not disavowing antisemitism even though he maintains that he is not antisemitic. Question: Do you believe Kyrie deserves this punishment?
Kyrie Irving is in the news again. But this time, it's not about vaccinations against COVID. He is being accused by the Jewish community as promoting Antisemitism stemming from a video, he published on his personal social media page containing an external and independent film which seems to suggest antisemitism. Kyrie Irving issued an apology and met with the press today for a press conference to explain his actions and whether he was antisemitic. However, Adam Silver, Commissioner of the NBA did not accept the apology calling it unqualified. Nevertheless, Kyrie Irving was defiant and would only say that he was at fault for posting a documentary film which contained some falsehoods and that he was not antisemitic but that he and his people have been mistreated and told that they were nothing. Yet society has not offered any worthy apology and their de 'jure and De facto racism that is present even today. The reporters pressed him for an apology, asking him repeatedly whether or not he was sorry for causing hurt to the Jewish community. However, he would not acquiesce and pointed out that just because he posted the video doesn't mean that he is antisemitic. The video he posted suggested that Black peoples were the real Jewish people whose identity was stolen from them by White people. The documentary film also asserted that some white people took over the name Jewish and stole the original Jews name. However, this idea is not new, because if you read Karl Marx "Das Capital", he refers to how classes and peoples through violence accumulate capital by going on the land of another group and stealing their property, such as in the 14th century where serfdom was replaced by the wealthy free peasant who became the feudal Lord (See Karl Marx, Das Kapital Volume 1, Economic Manuscripts: Capital Vol. I - Chapter Twenty-Seven However, Karl Marx and many Marxists in America never had to apologize for this theory, although it was unpopular. We were told that Obama was born in Africa, but where is the apology for this falsity. on January 6 a group incited an insurrection, engineered by a few strategists of the status quo, yet they are still in power or planning on running for office again. On the other hand, the Black man cannot have an unpopular opinion without a backlash even from his own peers trying to appease the status quo. Therefore, we must not expect anything more from Kyrie, as just as he held out on COVID, he will on this one because he is the vilification of his duppies (past/ancestors). In retrospect, so as to put Kyrie’s actions into more perspective, I had written a quick blog some time ago saying that I was doing a Doctoral dissertation on #Neoliberalism #power #privilege & #racism. One of my #research topics is on Kyrie Irving: Kyrie Irving is the embodiment and vilification of his “duppies” realization of #individualism and the new black people resistance. I’d like to study the brother using ethnographic research methods. He believes in individual rights and to get vaccinated or to apology for an unpopular opinion when others have been able to express their opinions no matter how crazy betrays that individualism and masculinity that has been denied. Therefore, it can be understood and argued that Kyrie is being the vilification of his duppies (past) who through passive or active resistance…

Question: Why are major US Businesses laying-off their workers? The US economy seem to be contracting or that is what we are made to believe, with the slew of American Businesses that are cutting staff due to what business insiders and analysts are reporting as lower-than-expected revenues and profits coupled with rising labor costs. In this episode, we discuss why Businesses are really slowing and provided commentary on this within the present economic context of rising prices and falling median incomes while registering a significant increase in the Gini co-efficient which measures income inequality.
According to Business Insider, several major companies are slashing jobs from Twitter to Peloton". The article available on MSN news, reported that: "A wave of layoffs has swept across American businesses in 2022. The cuts stem from slower business growth, paired with rising labor costs. The layoffs span across industries, from mortgage lending to digital-payment processing. Twitter is the latest high-profile company to get hit with layoffs this year after its new owner, Elon Musk, reportedly ordered a 25 percent headcount reduction". In fact, "major American businesses have picked up the pace of firing in 2022. Peloton has laid off thousands of their employees. Real Estate firm Re/Max slashed 17 % of its workforce. Even traditionally layoff-resistant companies like Netflix have made cuts & companies that saw a pandemic-era boom, like Shopify, are cutting hundreds of jobs". The article concluded that the reason for this is "two-fold: business growth is slowing, while labor costs are increasing. This combination is causing American companies... to slash headcount," (See Business Insider via MSN on 11.2.2022)
However, is it true that businesses are slowing and that this is due to rising labor and lower-than-expected earnings compared to the last period? We delve into this pointing out that real wages are falling due to rising inflation, while median incomes are also falling. Yet, businesses are downsizing and are faulting labor who has always been the scapegoat/ the victim of Capitalists seeking supernormal profits while enjoying increases in their incomes and net worth. Moreover, the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) data shows that since 2020 there's been a sharp rise represented by a steep or vertical slope in the incomes and wealth of people at the top percentile of the US population (You may refer to Podcast Season 4, episode 27, or visit The Neoliberal Corporation's website for the article for more on the BLS data showing US incomes since 1990's - Does St. Louis/US Cities with High Crime/Murder Rates suffer from Relative Deprivation? - The NeoLiberal Corporation). So that income inequality has reached its highest in years registering a Gini of nearly 1.0. Therefore, it is quite unusual that Businesses are now saying that they have to cut labor due to rising costs & lowering profits as if labor costs are really what's driving their loss and slowing business. But let's say its labor that is helping to slow business growth/profits, the next question would be then, what labor or which labor? It is the top-level labor/executives who are demanding high salaries, wages and bonuses that's driving up labor cost, which is represented by the rise in the top 20 percent in incomes and wealth. In addition, the competition between and among billionaires & those at the top is what is driving up labor costs while Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and those wealthy tech and real estate companies compete to be the richest and most profitable in the world.

This episode features, Judge Hon. Stephanie M. Sawyer is trying to make a difference in Philadelphia and stated that once she got elected to the Bench, as a Municipal Court Judge, the first thing she said to herself was that she was not going to be the kind of Judge that was going to “feed the beast that was mass incarcerations.” In fact, Judge Sawyer revealed that, “that is how the system currently operates,” but stop short of providing any further comments on the issue and decided to table her opinions on the matter for later.
Nevertheless, Judge Sawyer went onto explain that the general path when someone gets convicted, except for “Intentional Carve Outs…,”Ms. Sawyer, interrupted her chain-of-thought to explain what is meant by Intentional Carve Outs, important to understanding the point she was about to make concerning the general path when someone gets convicted. According to Judge Sawyer, “Carve Outs” are things such as Accelerated Rehabilitated Disposition. For example: “they say if you have a zero prior record score, we're not going to put you through the criminal record system, & we are going to give you a different path. They have drug treatment court, so because you’re a drug addict we are going to carve you out of the Criminal Justice System and treat you in this manner, or Veteran’s Court, because you’ re a Veteran we are going to carve-you-out of the Criminal Justice System and treat you in this path, or Mental Health Court, because you have mental health problems, we gonna carve you out of the Criminal Justice system….” Judge Sawyer then went back to where she had left off, when she was commenting on the general path when someone gets convicted, except for intentional “Carve Outs,” pointing out that:
the Criminal Justice system works like this, “a Judge will sentence somebody to probation and flog-them-off to probations or flog-them-off to probation officers, or they’ll sentence them to Incarcerations and flog-them-off to the Department of Corrections and [over ninety percent] (90 %) get out. Then they get flogged off to Parole Officers. And the next time that Judge who sees the person they sentenced, will be when a Probation/Parole Officer is so frustrated that they opine revocation, because the Defendant [or Parolee] is either not doing what the Probation or Parole Officer asked them to do or have a new case, or has a new conviction. In those three (3) circumstances, a Probation/Parole Officer will request a “Violation of Probation Hearing” to recommend additional punishment. And the next time a sentencing Judge sees a person that they had sentenced, is when that happens – [meaning Revocation, Re-incarceration leading to Mass Incarceration]. This led her to a very important conclusion couched in a question, “so if Judges sees people only to punish people, when exactly do they help?” As such, Judge Sawyer explains that she has created a system, a program called “Resource-Based Sentencing and Supervision”; indicating that “it’s how you sentence and it’s how you supervise. In that model, Judges are part of the solution. Judge Sawyer stated that: “most of my corner boys, they are frustrated entrepreneurs, if we give them a change of product, then we’d be actually doing something. So, [we help to cultivate] their entrepreneurial spirit... As a Judge she is trying to help reduce recidivism through the "Consentencing Foundation" that will be launched in November.

Question: Why is the US economy growing, while at the same time consumer spending is slowing? Yet, the Feds are planning on raising interest rates to mob-up-liquidity. Where’s the money or the liquid? Certainly, not in working class families, it is at the top. This episode is powerful a so we discuss the recent GDP growth that the US economy is reporting for quarter 3. This podcast was an originally published as an article in The Neoliberal Post at renaldocmckenzie.com; diagrams & data with links are available for further consideration in The Post. The podcast episode provides the audio with background music and additional comments from a small group present for the podcast show. The US economy or Gross Domestic Product grew by 2.6 percent last quarter. Yet, economic outlook remains grim; consumer spending slows, & prices are still rising, while wages are stagnant. Minimum wage in Philadelphia, for example, is still at $7.25. Moreover, OPEC plans to cut oil outputs by 2 million barrel per day in November. In fact, gas prices are quickly climbing back up, and just today regular gas is at $4. 50 at Lukoil in Germantown, Philadelphia, up from $3. 85 a couple days ago and is rising. The US Feds plans to raise interest rates again, so as to mob-up-liquidity. Yet, income inequality is at an all-time high with a Gini co-efficient of over 0.9. (It is important to point out what is meant by mobbing-up-liquidity so that we can put this growth and the FEDS plans into perspective.
“Mob-up-liquidity is an economic term used to mean a strategy to cut-down or reduce spending or money within an economy, especially when there is “too much money chasing too few goods” known as inflation. To mob-up-liquidity must also be understood within the economics of demand-and-supply. When demand is high, and supply is low, then this drives up prices, ceteris paribus (all things being equal), such as wages being relatively above inflation etc. And the converse is true, when demand is low and supply is high, then this drives down prices.
In the US economy today, prices are rising, and real wages are falling, which seems to suggest that the economy is either correcting itself-absorbing the gluts created by COVID stimulus or is automatically fixing the supply issue affected by transportation during COVID which impacted the normal flow of distribution of goods and services. In fact, COVID created a situation where there was “too much money chasing too few goods” given the problem of transportation and supply which pushed up prices. President Biden’s administration had to pump millions of dollars into the shipping/transportation sector after COVID in the beginning of 2022, which had helped to free up supply again. However, the damage from the lack of supply to meet the huge demand stemming from the stimulus had already started & this led to a sharp increase in consumer price inflation, it was 9.1 percent in June 2022, one that the US has not seen since the depression (See diagram below). The Gini coefficient measures income inequality within a society, zero suggest perfect equality, any number over zero suggests unevenness. The higher the number the greater the level of inequality. Those at the top have been experiencing increases in their net income and wealth. Nevertheless, conservative economists argue that the market must be free of interference and restrictions as those at the top will drive wealth and stimulate growth. But that has not been happening. Those at the top are getting richer. In fact, in Neoliberalism, globalization, income inequality, poverty and resistance, I raise the concept of the Bureaucratic Phenomenon developed by Michael Crozier… Listen to the podcast for more & access the article in renaldocmckenzie.com.

Does St. Louis/US Cities suffer from Relative Deprivation? Crime and Violence continues to spiral out of control and the perpetrators are young men 10-25 who constitute the age group with the highest rates of arrest for all offenses and especially violent crimes, murders and robberies. Recently, 2 persons were killed, and 7 others were injured after a lone gunman. 19-year-old African American, Orlando Harris, went to his former high school CVPA with an AR-15 & over 600 rounds of ammo. Harris killed 16-year-old Alexandria Bell, who was a beautiful young lady with a promising career in the visual and performing arts. The second, was Jean Kuczka, a 61-year-old physical Ed teacher. The question on all our minds after this is, another shooting and why did he do this? Why would a young man with no prior criminal record become so violent that he would be so enraged has to turn his former school into a battleground. According to reports from eyewitnesses and victims, the gunman shouted just before he started to shoot, “you’re all going to die.” Another student heard him say, “I’m tired of this d…” school and “I hate this d*** school.” Taniya Gholston, 16, was in the dance class when the shooting started. “He said like, ‘I’m tired of this damn school,’ and, ‘I’m tired of everybody in this damn school,’” she said. If those words reveal anything, it is that Harris was frustrated and troubled and seem to blame the school and sought to resolve the problem through what he believe was the only way that resolve his problems. For Harris, the school was the source of his problem and sought to kill everyone except the ballet teacher Raymond Harris. That was inconsistent with his statement that everyone was gonna die at the school yet he stopped short of killing this particular teacher. This needs further investigation and understanding as to why he changed his mind about this teacher. Nevertheless he carried out his heinous plan but due to quick response by the police, was taken out before he could continue his rampage. Press conference reports by the local police suggested that there are unconfirmed reports that Harris had a mental illness in the past but this has not been confirmed, however he left a note saying he felt isolate. Nevertheless, the issue of motive goes beyond Orlando Harris, and must be situated within the wider concern that Crime and Violence continues to spiral out of control and the perpetrators are young men like Orlando ages 10-25…Social movement theory asserts that when one begin to see other people, they begin to compare themselves drawing conclusions about themselves relative to that position. This theory then leads to a conclusion from scientific research and various studies within Social Marxist Materialism of Relative Deprivation, where society of higher income inequality are more prone to higher crime rates than communities that have lower income inequality. Today, US national data and PEW research studies show that crime has spiked and that much of it is occurs within certain cities and communities. The cities that has experienced rapid increases in violent crimes with a weapon and robberies are among the poorest with higher levels of people of colour including St. Louis Missouri where CVPA is located. St. Louis overtook Detroit as the most violent cities in the US with the highest murder rates. While at the same time, St. Louis is among the cities with the highest inequality/disparities with a Gini coefficient of between 0.9 and 1.2.

Is Relative Deprivation theory key to dealing with and understanding crime and violence? What is Relative Deprivation? What does it have to do with Crime and Violence? This was part of my Lecture presentation recently to a group of students in my class. I lay out argument in the podcast which will be available as an essay in renaldocmckenzie.com and theneoliberal.com later. We conclude the podcast with a segment entitled "The Hero Within Life’s Journey", where I share a thought in prose about "the hero of life".

"Dream, but don’t dream sleeping, Pray, but don’t pray sitting, Pray, but don’t pray sitting, Believe and have faith, but stay away from the negative and naysayers," renaldocmckenzie.com.
Question: Is Penn State a Philly school? Yes, and No. Technically, they are within the greater Philadelphia region and are closely connected to the city. There is a deep symbiotic relationship between the college and the city, in that both the students and staff at the college and the Philly residents consider the school to be a Philly school. Moreover, locals are fed into the school and enjoy some discounts from living in Philly and attending the University. However, geographically, the school is located right at the border of Philadelphia and Abington, where the school is actually located. But relationships go beyond borders and boundaries, and such is the terms of their proximity.
We met up with some students from Penn State for the Podcast series and asked: “What’s life Like Living in Philadelphia” or your city and how do they compare? What is lifelike at Penn State? The 1st group of students we talked with were four young men; one resides in D.C. and the others are from Philly, but they all live on the campus. They were all concerned about the violence in Philly but said that they are in the nicer parts, but yet find it exciting and fun in Philly city despite the violence. Another young man in the group said that he was scared for his life and loved ones. The 2nd group of students were international students from China who revealed that they wanted to stay in the U.S. after they completed their studies at Penn State. We discussed with them that this may be possible with the new decision by the courts allowing international students to work in the country after they graduate. According to the article we obtained from Georgetown University LinkedIn page: “A U.S. appeals court has affirmed a federal program that allows international students to live and work in the U.S. after they graduate — a decision that Georgetown and 150 other universities advocated for in a 2021 amicus brief. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld a 2016 update to the federal government’s Optional Practical Training (OPT) program, which allows international students to work in the U.S. for up to three years after they complete their degree,” (https://bit.ly/3VbIGcjvia Georgetown University LinkedIn Page, on 10/11, 2021, see the full article at Georgetown Applauds U.S. Appeals Court Decision To Allow International Students To Work in U.S. - Georgetown University).
We then transitioned to the next segment where we interviewed a young lady, Destiny, while at Chick-Fi-La Northeast Philadelphia, who stated that she wanted to move out of Philly because it is “unsafe”. When asked, where would you move to? She replied, “to Miami”. We then discussed whether Miami is actually the best place for certain demographics and the standard of living there and minimum wage. After the discussion, she stated that it is something that she needs to explore further but wants to go to Penn State University and is exploring that possibility. After our interview with Destiny the other college students, it leads us to ask, “What About Students from Non HBCU’s? Such as Penn State, Georgetown & Penn? We raise that question & discuss this issue in segment 4 of the episode due to yet another Stephen A Smith’s backed, ESPN/Firsttake program that supports HBCU students. There has been a myriad of programs and awareness surrounding HBCU’s but there are black and brown students who are doing well at non HBCU’s who need support and help but there has been little to none.

What can Judges do to help prevent recidivism and how can we make our society better? The Neoliberal Round Podcast met up with the Hon. Judge Stephanie M. Sawyer who was a speaker at the Day of Community Enlightenment in Germantown Philadelphia. We interviewed some of the attendees, local business talent promoting their craft. Ms. Jackson, author of “I’m not hypocrite I’m human,” talked about the event at the beginning and provided insights into the aim of the program.
Who is Hon. Juliet M. Sawyer? Hon. Stephanie Sawyer
Judge, Court of Common Pleas Although Stephanie M. Sawyer was born in Queens, New York, her home city is the City of Philadelphia where she was raised and has continuously lived since, she was a very little girl. She is a product of the Philadelphia public school system attending J.R. Masterman, Philadelphia High School for Girls, and she went on to earn her undergraduate and law degrees from Temple University. Judge Sawyer is a single parent of two children who was raised by a single parent where she learned her commitment to the community and her understanding that hard work is the key to success.
Judge Sawyer is currently a Municipal Court Judge in Philadelphia County, having her judicial nomination confirmed by the state senate on June 30, 2014, she was then sworn in on July 16, 2014. Prior to this appointment, Judge Sawyer was the sole practitioner of her own Center City based law office which she maintained for almost two decades.
What was interesting was the passion with which she shared about how judges were part of the problem and how they can be part of the solution in relation to incarcerations, convictions and the mitigating recidivism. She talked about her efforts as a Judge and member of society and community to raise awareness and provide opportunities to vulnerable populations and those re-entering society to develop certain literacy skills, such as business and critical thinking. In fact, she revealed that she will be launching a foundation to this end in the beginning of November 2022, (Th Neoliberal Round Podcast will be present at the event.)

"It's like Gotham city without Batman," that's what one Philly resident stated when we asked, "What's Life Like Living in Philadelphia?" Others, like the couple who recently moved from rural US thinks otherwise saying that it's fun and only hate the litter. That's what's on the episode today plus much more. On this episode of The Podcast, we continue the series on Living in Philadelphia where we take to the streets asking various individuals from different backgrounds and experiences to provide comments and to be interviewed on the spot. We have completed three parts already and this is part four. This episode is also very interesting and powerful as we obtained some insights that provided a deeper understanding into how people are thinking and ideas they have to resolving issues in their communities. Moreover, the episode morphed into a group discussion as Fe and Sasha Harvey joined in for a lengthy discussion on what's it like living in Philly and debated the cause of the violence and suggested ways we can fix it. Sasha Harvey is the author of "Birdman" and "Press". The Segment included students from the University of Penn, a couple who just moved to Philly from Michigan and West VA, a woman walking her dog who just moved from the suburbs to Philly city and two close relations of B-Dot, B-Dot was killed a few days ago and spoke on the show days before he was killed about "What's It Like Living In Philadelphia". We replay that interview at the end and provided some commentary and share the interview with B-Dot's best friend's mother/sibling. The trailer and Bonus episode to this episode, Part 4 of Living In Philly, is available in video podcast via the Spotify platform. We will continue with Part 5 later this week of the series. Coming up tomorrow on the Podcast is: Relative Deprivation, Key to understanding Crime and Violence, and News Commentary and Insight into OPEC's decision to slash oil outputs by 2 million barrel per day, and Biden's plan to overhaul Marijuana, also available this week as an article in our website theneoliberal.com and renaldocmckenzie.com.

This is a Bonus video podcast to Part 4 of What's Life Like Living in Philadelphia (and is available in video on Spotify and audio on all podcast streams and the Alexa App). We are doing a Podcast series on "What's It Like Living In Philadelphia". On the first part of the series, we got an interview with B-Dot a young man who frequents the Yahay's Conveinent Store in Germantown Philadelphia at the corner of Chelten and Chew. That was on September 29, 2022 that we conducted the interview inside the store. We attached the audio interview with him at the beginning of this bonus video podcast. Yesterday, October 11th, 2022, my producer and I were stopped at the store where we did the interview with him and noticed a placard on the store with pictures and people going up to write on the placard. I had just heard that a young man was shot and killed in the store, so I got out the car and went up to the store-wall with the placard and as I got closer I realized it was the same young man we interviewed just days ago who commented that Philly was dangerous but that he loved it in Philly and that to be safe we gotta stay to ourselves, know our company and stay around good people. It was quite shocking! while there we met two loved of his closest friends, a mother and daughter whose son/sibling was B-Dot's best friend. We did a video interview with these close family friend, which is available on the Spotify platform, and via our Youtube channel: renaldovids and our social media feeds at Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Tiktok (at #renaldomckenzie or #renaldocmckenzie). The audio is available on all other podcast streams such as Apple Podcast, Amazon Music, Stitcher, Radio Public, Google Podcast, Podvine, the Alexa App, renaldocmckenzie.com and theneoliberal.com.

This is Part 3 of the Series "What's It Like Living In Philadelphia? Living in Philly Part 3.
Question: Is Philadelphia the most dangerous city in the US? many people believe that it is based on the conversations we had with many of them which is featured on this episode. (Actually, another city recently became the most dangerous city.) We also explored city residents' perspectives on the upcoming US Mid-term Elections, the issue of gun violence, fatherhood, and the best parts of Philly. The respondents were quite revealing and provided an insight into the mood and temperature of the city after several shootings that has left many of their loved ones dead while others in some parts are experiencing tranquility and country. It is as if there is two Philadelphias, where the experience of living in Philadelphia differs compared to where you are and how closely affected one is to the issues. Nevertheless, there is still this city wide concern about the issues and many have opinions about how we can effect change. One gentleman said that it is stressing in Philadelphia in light of the recent violence perpetrated by young people and that "Philly needs a Father's Movement." Some respondents commented on their hot button issues for them in this upcoming mid-term elections, such as the opioid crisis in Kensington Philly and the escalating gun violence and carjacking. Others were concerned about their freedoms and individual rights and affordable education and better healthcare.
This episode included areas such as Roxborough, Andorra, City Avenue, Mount Airy, North and North East Philadelphia, Germantown etc.

Question 1: What is the relationship between time management and academic success?
Question 2: What has been the nature of neoliberal globalization in a developed society such as the US or UK versus the developing such as Jamaica, Ghana etc. & what accounts for the contrast of experiences of poverty/inequality?
Segment 1: What is the relationship between time management and Academic Success?
It is said that life is short and time's limited. So, time is the most valuable and priceless thing in our lives, as it is the space within which we operate and conduct the entirety of our lives. This involves a plethora and myriad of stimuli coming at us in order to realize the zenith of our life. As such, time management becomes paramount as it is an excellent tool and skill for directing and guiding one’s life’s activities; so as, to minimize time wasting and the distractions that pose threats to the realization of one’s academic goals; because life is short and time is limited. Yet, most of us take time management for granted. In fact, research shows that students who utilized effective time management skills, usually take it with them throughout their academic and professional life and realize greater success and less burn out and distractions (Source). Hence, Time Management is a vital skill and activity within learning strategy that may help to realize successful completion of one’s academic goals.
Segments 2 and 3: Sharing the Journey Part 2:
The Masters project paper examined whether or not Jamaica’s inequality trends from 1985 – 2007 was a consequence of the structural adjustment policies stipulated by the neo-liberal technocrats of the ‘Washington Consensus’ on Jamaica. We began this examination by questioning the premise on which this variable lies: Neo-Liberalism creates inequality and poverty. Having established that “neoliberalism” creates inequality and poverty, we then asked ourselves, why and how the Jamaican government adopted and implemented structural adjustment policies by tracing the evolution of structural adjustment policies. Thirdly, we examined the results/implications of structural adjustment on Jamaica by presenting and analyzing Jamaica’s income inequality and poverty trends. Finally, we assess whether or not these trends correlate with our assertions. Unlike the Graduate programs at Penn that I completed previously, the PHD in Communication at the Annenberg will explore post-industrial experience of neoliberal globalization on the working class and their response. Essentially, we want to know what has been the nature of neoliberal globalization in a developed society such as the United States. How different or similar are the experiences of poverty and inequality in Jamaica and the Caribbean vis-a-viz the United States under neoliberal globalization? And what accounts for these differences? What has been the response or the mitigating factor against neoliberal globalization, and if so, how effective is it? The answer may lie in my anecdotal analysis that requires further investigation:
The decentralization of social media is the greatest victory for peoples in society, especially those that are marginalized and most vulnerable. The people of the global south, black and brown peoples have all suffered under Neoliberal Globalization and strategies of power that poses problems for human progress and people everywhere. Digital technology and the decentralization creates opportunities and greater competition and limits access so that there is this leveling of the playing field. Yet there is this drive to regulate information as the status quo uses countervailing tactics to re-monopolize information so that communication is no longer to make monopoly what was the monopoly.
This may lead us to ask, what is the role of the neoliberal state? See Part 3.

Question: What's Life Like Living in Philadelphia or your city? We are doing a new series where we engage people in communities and cities by interviewing random individuals in various city neighborhoods asking that question. Today we feature Philadelphia, where we took to the streets and interviewed several individuals, young people, couples, men and women from all walks of life; pregnant women and even young men on the corners, people in the suburbs and well-to-do places and those in the hood. We interviewed, professionals, students, those with and without jobs and people hoping to make it big. It was an extraordinarily interesting podcast episode where people provided diagnosis and prognosis of their city as they reflect on the positives, negatives and challenges of living in Philly. But what is powerful is that people were more than eager to talk about life in the city and seem to have a sense of what has gone wrong and how we can fix it or they wonder how they can. Moreover, one take away from the interviews suggest that depending on where you live in the city, the experience of life is slightly different yet all seem to be aware of what's happening in various parts and are affected by the entirety of the city's problems no matter where they live. They are all concerned about violence and are fearful yet hopeful and want to do something about it but many do not know where to start but suggest that we come together. Nevertheless, what was powerful is their need for conversation and community which many feel is a thing of the past or slowly decaying as we loose our sense of brotherly and sisterly love. Listen to the interviews on the show today and please do share your own stories irrespective of what city you live in. We will continue the series by exploring What's Life Like Living in your city and we will also do several other series looking at What's its like doing Uber in your city? What's it like going to school in your city? What's it like Policing in your city? What's it like doing business in Philly? What's medical care like in your city...etc.? Participants: 1. Maurice 2.

Question: Was PM Andrew Holness’ Address to the UN General Assembly Inappropriate and Misplaced?
Recently, Hon. Andrew Holness, Prime Minister of Jamaica, gave a speech to the UN General Assembly in New York, where he said illegal guns usually flow into the hands of marginalized youths in developing countries like Jamaica. But my question is, if the marginalized youths are poor and they cannot afford a legal gun, which for them is the only way out of poverty and provides a sense of power, then how do we expect to effectively stop the spiraling murder wave, reduce gun violence by minimizing the illegal flow of guns to this vulnerable groups without first dealing with their sense of powerlessness and their poverty? Moreover, if illegal guns usually flow into the hands of the poor, that is an observation that has been supported by studies that show the relationship between the gun, the illegal use of it in poor marginalized communities not just in Jamaica, but in black and brown communities all over the world. According to the story in the Jamaica Gleaner, entitled: “Holness enlist UN help to stem influx of illegal guns, murder wave,”
PRIME MINISTER Andrew Holness has called for an international “war on guns” to end the influx of illegal weapons and epidemic of murders in Jamaica. “In the same way that a war on drugs is being prosecuted, in which we have been faithful partners in policing what comes through our waters or leaves our shores, there now needs to be a war on guns.” Holness pleaded as he addressed the 77th session of the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York on Thursday. The Jamaican leader urged for pressure to be placed on international gun manufacturers to institute stronger measures to prevent the illegal flow of weapons into the hands of poor, marginalized youth in developing countries like Jamaica. “In the same way there is concern about illegal drugs on the streets of rich countries, there must be concern about guns on the streets of developing countries like Jamaica,” Holness asserted, (Hinds, L. 2022. Holness enlists UN help to stem influx of illegal guns, murder wave | News | Jamaica Gleaner (jamaica-gleaner.com)
This request by the PM seems absolutely ridiculous and inappropriate. It looks childish and pathetic. Jamaica doesn't make its own laws about what comes into its own country. It does not have any control over its importers and suppliers of goods and services? Further, guns don't kill people, people kill people! Moreover, to appeal to rich countries having guns on their streets as a way to provide support for equal cause for concern of guns on Jamaican streets is far-fetched incomparable. How is he here comparing apples with tomatoes? So where does the answer lie? The answer resides in reducing poverty and raising incomes and providing more opportunities. However, this can only happen when Jamaica becomes more competitive and expands its capabilities which will need short term investments over the long-term with some sacrifices coupled with investments in education to make every Jamaica not just literate but competitive. We need to get the diaspora more involved and become more strategic with this endeavor.
To make a request like this at such an even is a missed opportunity and an inappropriate request. That request can be handled by the local as it is a local issue that speaks to local laws and protections. We need funds investments to increase Jamaica's capabilities and that is what we should always ask for. Put your priorities where the greatest needs reside.

Question: What's great about events like the G-Town Radio Day of Festival? Local communities continue to facilitate neighborhood engagement and awareness as they transcend the violence and social decay gripping their communities. We visited the G-town Community Radio station 92.9 FM's "Day of Festival", event where they had their annual community event in which local vendors, musicians, business people, professionals and residents came together to share food, fun and fellowship; with music, dance and explosion of talent. The station also opened up their studios to the public. We interviewed some of the station volunteers and staff such as, Joanne the program director and chatted with Tom the manager and a board member. We also learned what locals in Germantown have to offer their city and the world, as we interviewed and chatted with several local business and shop owners, all women who either participated or visited the event. It was an Amazing day of festival that we caught the end of and was able to file this report. We ended with music from Spiritual Thunder a local band originally from Germantown that ended the show with epic music that we have on the show for you today.
In the final segment of the show, we sat with the Commissioner of The Real Jersey Shore Yahoo Fantasy NFL League Commissioner, Ricardo McKenzie, who discussed fantasy football and the NFL matchups this week.

"Fame isn't anything but trouble," "I fault him," "It's "tragic," "It's crazy bro.," "He was a humble guy," "People that sing about positive energy live longer...." "I feel hurt." What are your feelings towards "PnB Rock's" killing, and what dos the P and B in "PnB Rock" mean? We took to the streets in Germantown and Lasalle University Philadelphia to ask people from the local community where PnB Rock is from to get their opinions and feelings concerning his death. Several residents, mainly younger men between 16 - 31, shared their fondest memories and why his death hit home so powerfully. In fact, Germantown just had two separate killings over the last few days, and now they are mourning the death of one of their icons and ambassadors, PNB Rock. We share the views and the stories on the show today. Towards the end of the podcast episode we had a small group discussion with several young adult individuals, males and females, bout PnB Rock's passing and it was quite chilling. We also learned what the P and B in "PnB Rock" mean. Do you know? We learn about that while speaking with respondents and explore the violence gripping cities and how younger people can and are getting involved in violence prevention in their own way.

How can we move beyond the violence and health risks and come together as community? And who was the best US President that Black Americans ever had? This Episode of The Neoliberal Round Podcast features another Street Vibe, Pulse Of The Street, where we engaged two community gatherings in Philadelphia PA, in which community people had gathered in solidarity, moving beyond the violence that's gripping their streets. We interviewed several community organizers, activists, business people, retirees, young and old, Pastors and professionals. We stopped at two events, the first was at The Men Who Care of Germantown. The second was at Peace on The Waters Ministries in Wister/Chelten area of North Philadelphia. During the events we interviewed two prominent African Americans in the community, an older gentleman "Ducky" and a younger gentleman, Vodka. Donald Ducky Johnson is a successful and among the first black Business owners in Camden NJ and North Philadelphia, a Former NAACP organizer and leader who has worked with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rev. Jesse Jackson, PUSH etc. He is the author of "The Risk Taker." That interview was quite powerful as he talked about his life, journey and history of the NAACP in Philadelphia and Camden. He shares several powerful wise words to his fellow brothers and sisters, and explains why he believes that President Johnson was the best President Black People has ever had. We went back to Men Who Care of Germantown towards the end of the show and interviewed the Rapper and Actor, VODKA, a local Philadelphian who is prominent, up and coming. We share a piece of his performance and interviewed him briefly. Vodka will be in the the new film "Once Upon A Time In Philly".

Today's episode comments on a Breaking News Story where assailants using an AK47 gunned down another black brother in Germantown Philadelphia. We explore the impact and causes of this and consider possible solutions to the rise in gun violence despite Biden's recent move to ban or limit AK-47s and the use of certain high powered weapons. But this killing seem to be a revenge shooting or one that involved a beef because of the way the shooting was done.

“I am Not A Hypocrite, I am Human,” is the title of T. L. Jackson's book, a successful businesswoman and powerful person of faith with an inspirational story of how one can realize purpose through the pain which is the title of her next book.
Question: There are many local talents in your community that we usually miss for various reasons. Why don't local stores carry local talent? We explore this in the episode today and ask that question on our Spotify and Anchor community page that you may respond to.
The episode also featured a guest, Marvin, who was with us on the show and shared with us, as he also gets ready to share his own story about how one can go from death-row to being freed and fully adjusted so that he is giving back to society and even investing in others to realize their goals. Marvin is the Uncle of Ms. Jackson who lives in a beautiful section of Philadelphia close to the suburbs in Mount Airy. But she tells you how her near death experiences from several bank robberies at her own banks and the trauma that followed affected her life in a positive way and how one must follow the leading of the Divine even when others don't understand it and question your decision making based on this Divine impetus.
She discussed her journey from Banking to being a Business woman in Philadelphia to now an author and where she gets her inspiration. She talked about the difficulty of gaining access in local Philadelphia Book stores who only publish “Big Name” books or if one is connected to the owners of the bookstore. Nevertheless, she stated that her book was self-published, but later picked up an hybrid Christian publisher and the book is now available in audible, paperback or hardcover on Apple, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and T. L. Jackson's website - Author T.L. Jackson | Sharing Stories That Inspire and Empower! (authortljackson.com)
Towards the end of the episode T. L. and I pray and offer words of encouragement and motivation, and shares how to overcome challenges and realize next level success.

This was one of the most insightful and interesting guests I have had on this show, which makes it one of the most powerful and epic episodes. We Interviewed Mr. Malik Waseem Shuler, CEO if Urbane Society located in L.A. USA. Malik is originally from Washington D.C. where his family still lives, went to college and lived in New York City and currently resides and run a successful business with the potential to explode. The interview was full of staples that you may find useful as you start or grow you business or if you're interested in exploring how work, life and society is changing in America from the perspective of a Gen Z or post-Millennial. But every perspective and experience is worth sharing and exploring as one may find vital information that is indispensable for one's own growth and reflections as we seek balance and purpose in life so as to advance human society towards progress and preserving the vitality of live.
Questions We Raised and Considered on the episode with Malik:
-
What’s the difference between the generations? Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z in relation to work? How is New York Changing?
-
What is so special about L.A.?
-
How did growing up in D.C. influence your business decisions?
-
What are some of the main challenges faced when starting out, what lessons did you learn and how have you adjusted your approach to the business?
-
Capitalists are always seeking cheap labor to cut costs and to lower price, but how do stay true to your ethos & pathos of wanting to promote & preserve the local (made in America) when people do not want to buy expensive goods, (how do you bridge the gap between what people want to pay and wanting to make your products locally or in China)?
-
Do you think Presidents help to set the foregoing tone of the country, from the Obamas to Trump etc.?
-
What’s the philosophy of Urbane Society?
-
The Gen Z's are making money and are willing to do so irrespective of what people think or what they have to do, so long as they don’t have to work too hard; why is this so? Is it because the ideologies, dogmas & rules that were once important aren’t or is it something else?
-
Where are the workers?
The Episode interview explores these issues, but is broken up in several segments with music, interlude sounds and Segway in between the main segments. The first segments contains the introductions a breaking news, where we announce the passing of Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain, the longest serving Monarch of that country. We then go straight into the interview which you will find deep and extremely interesting and insightful.

Question: Do parenting & society’s use of problematic philosophy & bad theology prevent personal growth & perpetuate resentment/estrangement in kids as they grow up to be adults? Today’s episode is quite powerful, ethnographic and esoteric, entitled “I could’ve been a Usain Bolt or like a Serena Williams but….” The episode features my twin brother Ricardo Mckenzie and Co-Producer/host Donte Nelson and of course Renaldo McKenzie, Your host. We went deep looking at issues of success as it is affected by ineffective parenting and society; raising and exploring the question: how poverty/parenting/society’s institutions use of problematic philosophy and bad theology prevent personal growth and perpetuate estrangement and resentment in children as they grow up. Further, we considered the fact that we were twins but different in our own way and that life is about strategy but that many persons are devoid of that knowledge. We came to the conclusion that we should let kids find their own path; driving home the point that just as teaching must facilitate the uniqueness of students in the learning process, parenting must also account for that uniqueness within the growing process of every child and parents must understand and parent with that mindset. Moreover, we explored the issue of risk-taking saying that risk-taking is not one of some people’s traits (certain communities or families traits) and examined how that maybe a consequence of poverty and the cyclical histories people find themselves and poor education and limited opportunities and connections or lack in society in Jamaica and our peoples and we will touch on that one as we talk about bad theology by exposing this particular text of biblical pericope “train up a child in the way that they should go so that when they order should not depart” but the interpretation of the scripture amongst many many many evangelical Christians Caribbean people the family is “train up a child the way that you want them to grow,” and but parenting must adjust their skills to facilitate the child’s uniqueness so as to allow the child to become successful in his or her own growth and development. We repeated this several times indicating that parents keep down their children’s growth because of bad theology and kids walk away with resentment. We also lift up the fact that there are is also the situation where there’s just one parent and the children have to grow up struggling to survive missing out on their childhood and ultimately their dreams. In deed, the discussions on this episode was powerful and quite insightful as we delve into so issues of human value and ethics from an interdisciplinary lenses; lifting up matters to deal with parenting, sports, race, economics, life and learning and how society impedes dreams and perpetuate resentment. But the strongest take aways and points from our discussions is this point that: our parents thwarted our athletic prowess and dreams and 2. That post-colonialism provided new freedoms that was met with dogmas and rules and the the bureaucratic phenomenon. The topics we raised while contending for these and other matters were: Coco Gaugh, Serena and Venus Williams Mbape, Margaret Court, Billi Jean King, Chris Evert, Navratilova, Steffi Graph and the issue of Race, difference of expectations and how media is changing this. Undoubtedly, you can’t afford to miss this episode, it’s compact, ethnographic and esoteric!

Learning is a lifelong process. Studies show that students were successful when they utilized varied and more effective learning strategies in their learning. What is your learning strategy and why, and how would you incorporate more learning strategies in your learning? Secondly, What teaching strategy do you incorporate in your teaching to facilitate students uniqueness? This episode, inspired and co-produced by co-host, Donte Nelson, explores these questions and more in relation to college and learning success. The Episode is broken up in Four Segments: 1. The Introduction; 2. The Sit Down; 3. Learning Strategies for Learning Success written by D. Nelson, Edited and Narrated by Renaldo McKenzie; & 4. Learning is a Matter of Faith written by D. Nelson, Edited & Narrated by Renaldo McKenzie. First, the episode begins with an inspiration from Phil Thompson singing "All my worship/here's my worship" via YouTube, & a powerful word from Rev. Renaldo who said: "As you think about your life, & where you are and where you are going, one will find that there is an experience or something beyond you, that if you tap into it, you will find the strength and motivation to overcome and to carry on... irrespective of the challenges." Secondly, this introductory segment is then followed by "The Sit Down" where Donte and Renaldo explores Writing, Learning, Pragmatist Dilemmas/ Faith," providing insights into their writing journeys, approaches to learning, faith experiences, dilemmas of life and ways we resolve these or understand them. Some sticking points from this segment: A. Writing is a skill that you develop; B. Writing becomes easy; C. You can't write if you haven't read! D. God has always been with me; E. I don't think I was fully developed & made decisions that angered some people but looking back, there are decisions I made that would not have made now, but I was a young & inexperienced Senior Pastor. F. There's always this issue of privilege between & or within races. G. Church is a part of culture. H. We create the idea of God in a sense, and there are cultural biases and people want to preserve their culture so these attitudes that people have towards things generate fears & hardline positions that may challenge even their own idea of faith. I. Dilemmas are damned if you, damned if you don't but these dilemmas are ultimately guided by and resolved by a type of pragmatist concept of truth where our perceived derived benefit from a position disposes any moral position. Thirdly, this week, I learned that students were successful when they used varied & more effective learning strategies (Simsek and Baladan, 2010 Pp. 36 - 45). the learning strategies which included: 1. Rehearsal is identifying and repeating important concepts , taking personal notes and memorizing; 2. Elaboration, going beyond the given content, using new words, making comparisons, mental imaging and writing questions; 3. Organization - reviewing and restructuring information, creating tables, classifying or listing; 4. Metacognitive - which I describe as "The unexamined life is not worth living," Socrates, this is the reflective/ introspective part where you daily critique, adjust, self/strategies; and 5. Motivational - which deals with reducing stress and redirecting anxiety. In the final segment, Learning involves Faith, A Belief That I Can Do All Things Through Christ! learning is not a heavy-handed or top-down approach that relies on the teacher. In fact, teaching seems to be a facilitative role in learning, especially in online learning, where the students at the collegiate levels have the power to chart their own course. The final take away is the idea that everyone is unique, learning that is geared towards students' uniqueness will lead to greater success. Renaldo is a Doctoral Candidate, Lecturer & Author.

Is it true that the decentralization of social media is the greatest victory for peoples in society, especially those that are marginalized and most vulnerable? That is part of my research interest as I seek to explore issues of power and neoliberal globalization and its effects on peoples and possible solutions. The episode is a personal statement written in essay form exploring my academic journey and direction of study. It is called "Serving the world today to solve tomorrow's challenges" because this statement speaks to my ultimate mission/vision in life and why I do what I do. The episode is split in several segments; the first in the introduction, the second is street vibe where I happen to share a short interview I did with the Iconic Performance Arts Studio that is trying to get zoning for their dance and performance studio. They need about 4000 - 5000 signatures from residents in the city. They are located in Germantown at 400 West Chelten.
The third segments delve into the crux of the episode and is part 1 to a three part series. The last segment continues the discussions before we wrap up.
Episode Opening Notes:
Serving the world today to solve tomorrow’s challenges is what I am seeking to do through my various efforts which have started but requires authority and more research in the field of academia. In 2021, I was seeking to get my first academic book, Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance, published by a hybrid publisher. My manuscript was rejected on the basis that I do not have a Doctorate, even though it was reviewed by peers and Kirkus Reviews as being an erudite economic analysis of Jamaica’s history and the global South-Global North dynamic. Hence, I had applied and got into Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies to do a Doctor of Liberal Studies but had to go on a leave of absence due to lack of funding and financing. While the program proved to be beneficial to my academic goals, I realized that the university did not offer any funding, teach grants/opportunities or financial support to continue my education. Moreover, the university has a conservative bent and slant, that at times stifles its liberal school’s thinking and exploration which clashed with my postcontructivist, critical, postmodern and liberal views and methods. In addition, the University is in D.C. and I reside in Philadelphia and commuting was becoming burdensome. As such, I decided to explore other PhD programs where I could benefit from funding, support and any opportunity to teach and develop my academic writing and authority in the field. In doing so, I had recalled that Professor Rita Barnard, tenured Professor in the Department of English at the University of Pennsylvania, and Editor of Nelson Mandela’s Memoir, who had advised me on my previous research at Penn, had recommended that I explore a teaching career at Penn as the school would benefit from a West Indian voice and perspective. That has stuck with me and since one of my life’s goals was to pursue a career as a professor, I relished the idea of working at Penn in such a capacity. Therefore, the first thought I had was to transfer to Penn, where I completed previous graduate and post graduate education. While researching, on Penn PhD programs online, I saw that Annenberg had a PhD that provided funding, teaching opportunities and a cadre of intellectuals and professors whom resonated with my research and I had referenced in the past, notably, John Jackson. As a result, I decided to apply for the Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania’s school of Annenberg as it would help to not only position me and my company and efforts to take the next steps in realizing our goals but to realize a dream from humble beginnings. theneoliberal.com

College drop out rates are still concerning. How can you succeed in College? In this Episode we continue to look at education as a means to success; yet education is not cheap & many don't get the education at the pre tertiary levels to make it through college & to have the careers of their choices. Drop out rates are still concerning & four year colleges find that students are spending longer times to complete their degrees. We discussed what education & learning professionals are finding as it relates to why & how students succeed throughout college which is redefining the way college programs are being developed at the outset. The episode was inspired & co-produced by Mr. Donte Nelson who is himself a first year College student at Capella University. The segment is broken up in two. Segment one we introduced the episode by playing a video of Caroline Dwerk's "Power of Yet" Speech where she drives home the point that failures are not yet and shared stories of how perspectives affect students abilities to take on academic challenges. In the second segment, we delve into some data from the National Center for Education statistics, showing college students drop out and graduation rates and discuss with Mr. Nelson this idea of Self Efficacy, personal growth and having a college mindset towards achieving college success. We share these important stats in the episode: Academic performance such as grade point average, and credits earned during specific periods, and academic retention and graduation, are what professionals usually use to predict College success (Robbins et al., 2004). College success remain a major concern as data suggest a dropout rate of up to 45% with an average bachelor’s degree turn-around-time of over 6 years (Barefoot, 2004). The National Center for Education Statistics reported that in 2015 only 59% of the students who entered 4-year colleges and universities graduated within 6 years over 21% of those students left after their first year (Kena et al., 2015). Nevertheless, when we ask; What is the key to climbing out of poverty? Dr. Andre Isaacs, who moved from Jungle Jamaica to now College Professor and Chemist at College of the Holly answered by saying, “having an education, yet education is not cheap,” Moreover, we learned that many students are not prepared to take on certain college courses which affect their career choices as they do not feel as though they were fully prepared for college; that was according to Brother Maurice Smith, a Senior Social Work Professional in Philadelphia; and this may explain certain disparities in society as many of those same unprepared students switch to social services degrees and end up taking jobs with low wages that do not allow them to advance in society but keep them debt burdened and stuck within a cycle. However, many students have resumed classes this week, and if you were in California, you would have started 2 weeks ago. But what is alarming is that the Department of Education in Cali reported that over 50 percent of students did not show up for classes. And in Delaware recently, the school district reported that students are underperforming as the academic reports for K-12 students for 2021-2022 show that students did not achieve proficiency levels, compared to pre-COVID performance, but if truth be told, students were falling behind before COVID. Students fell behind and are falling behind academically. The study suggested that the main factors were not necessarily cognitive factors such as academic aptitude, but more so those that succeeded had developed a college mindset that helped them to develop self-efficacy and a determination to get through, deal with the new demands and complex with the ability to make adjustments based on a self-determination. Mr. Nelson explains that is it in changing one's attitude that one will change their world which is to say change your perspective, you'll change your world.

President Joe Biden announced Wednesday he will provide $20,000 in debt relief to Pell Grant recipients and $10,000 for many other borrowers. Question: Does the student loan debt relief go far enough to relief a crippling middle class? And are the GOP hypocritical, as many have received MILLIONS IN PPP loans that were forgiven? My twin brother join me on this episode to explore this. Ricardo is a senior executive at Flatrate Moving an International logistics, transportation, storage and moving company based in NYC. Ricardo is also the Chairman of McKenzie and McKenzie and an executive board member of the Neoliberal Corporation who is a former licensed Financial Advisor and Mortgage and Loan Officer. Ricardo hold a Masters in HR and is a SHRM professional. Ricardo holds a bachelors in Marketing and Finance from Rutgers and NJCU and has worked at the senior levels in the corporate world. Ricardo obtained student loans in order to finance his degrees. He joins us in segment 2 of the episode. In the opening segments I introduce the episode and share an audio from a press briefing from the White House earlier today with National Economic Council Advisor Bharat Ramamurti. Note: Who qualifies for Biden's student loan forgiveness? According to Medora Lee of USA Today: “Undergraduate and graduate students are expected to receive forgiveness of up to $10,000 in federal student loan debt for borrowers making under $125,000 a year or couples making less than $250,000 a year. Private loans will not be forgiven”, (see https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2022/08/25/how-is-student-loan-debt-forgiven/7884574001/).
How to get student loan forgiveness? Lee states in her USA Today article that: “The Education Department said nearly 8 million borrowers are likely to have their loans forgiven automatically because the agency already has information about their income”, (see https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2022/08/25/how-is-student-loan-debt-forgiven/7884574001/).

John Castro is suing the FEC & Trump, challenging his eligibility to run again. Do you think that the FEC should allow Trump to run in 2024? I asked this question so that you can engage this podcast dealing with John A Castro's suit against the FEC and Trump that challenges Trump's eligibility to run in the 2024 Presidential elections, based on his alleged involvement in the January 6 insurrection. This Podcast episode, which is done in video but can be listened to via audio, is broken up in three (3) segments. The first is the introduction where I briefly explore the story and several other issues in the news such as Liz Cheney losing her recent seat to a Donald Trump-backed candidate. The second segment is a video press release which John Castro had shared with me about his suit that he filed on July 25th, 2022, in D.C. in Federal court against Trump and the FEC. The video release is also available on his twitter page at "realjohnanthonycastro". In the final segment we share the one-and-a-half-hour interview I did with Mr. Castro via Zoom where we talked about his life, aspirations, upbringing, successes, challenges and dreams of becoming the next president. He also shared some breaking news about Trump and his involvement on January 6 and indicated that he would file this suit and explained why. It was a powerful interview that we had released in audio but did not release the video until now. It is unedited unlike the audio episode we did and does not include the respondents we had edited into the audio episode. The transcripts of the Interview can be accessed in my LinkedIn newsletter commentary "The Neoliberal Commentary" in LinkedIn or via "The Neoliberal Post" on Theneoliberal.com or renaldocmckenzie.com websites.
Who is John Anthony Castro? John Anthony Castro is an International Tax Attorney, President of Castro and Company, and AI Tax, which was recently valued at over $180, 000, 000. He has two Law degrees from Georgetown Law and is hoping to be the next US President. He is a registered Republican but is a moderate that is open to liberal policies yet holding firm to his conservative values. Mr. Castro will tell you that he came from humble beginnings but today is a millionaire and successful businessman who has worked at all levels to protect, promote and improve America. Will he succeed in his aspirations, that is yet to be seen, but he has overcome the odds and is determined irrespective of the challenges. We will continue to follow his story and journey as we learn from another American who has turned and is turning the tides of life stacked against them so that we can make popular what was the monopoly for the benefit of all.

Where ever did those extra hundreds of boxes found in the most recent FBI raids at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate come from? If in January they had raided and indicated there were no more boxes or document left, why did they find all these volumes? Were they in hiding? I delve into this in the first segment of this episode. In the second segment I provided an audio commentary that Mr. John A. Castro had sent regarding a question I had asked about the Trump raids and his recent filing in D.C. in federal court against Donald Trump and the FEC saying that Donald Trump is ineligible to run as President and should not be allowed to run based on his alleged involvement in the January 6 insurrection. He shares a timeline and some expectations surrounding what next for the filing. In the final segment, I explored the issue of teaching Theology Today as a follow up to the previous episode (season 4:3) on Teaching Theology Today. I explain that teaching is not about indoctrination but facilitating the students own practical theology without imposing one’s own doctrine as if learning is about teaching “tabular rasas” (blank minds).

This episode has two segments: segment 1 is entitled “Teaching Theology Today” where I discuss with Brother Maurice Smith of Phi Beta Sigma, the ideas and concepts I have for the course. He challenged some of the courses description which I debunked. Segment two is entitled: WHYY’s News on Delaware Students’ Academic proficiency Uses Bad Data. In segment two I provide a commentary on the article ‘Tough couple of years’: Delaware students’ academic proficiency far below pre-pandemic levels. Going back to segment 1, we begin by reviewing The 2021 COURSE Description states that: This course is a study of the background and development of current theological thinking with an emphasis on modern and post-modern theological trends in the Christian community. The course will briefly survey theological developments up until the mid-20th century and then devote sustained attention to trends that largely have their genesis in theological ideals from the 1960s. However, I will go further in this episode to look at some more concepts and update the driving force or goal of the course which is to exploring and responding to the question: How does your theology speak to the issues and challenges of today… what solution does your theology provide? What challenges are we faced with today? Mr. Smith critiques that the course is outdated and too historical if theology today. However, I suggested that we have to look at what was before we look at what is. He agrees. We briefly discuss what theology is and the application of it. We contended with the question: is there a Caribbean theology? Mr. Smith said no but I challenged and debunked that saying that by understanding what theology is will correct one’s idea about a Caribbean or regional theology, “theology is practical and therefore speaks to context and is colored by context….etc. A few questions to consider and topics to explore for the semester: 1. What is theology? 2. How does your theology speak to the issues and challenges of today… what solution does your theology provide? What challenges are we faced with today? 3. Is there a Caribbean theology and how has it evolved and 4. what relevance does it hold for us today? 5. Kirk Lougheed (ed.), Four Views on the Axiology of Theism: What Difference Does God Make? 6. What are the challenges to developing a theology today? (Temple sex gender and society) 7. The Destruction of the Canaanites: God, Genocide, and Biblical Interpretation 8. Ecclesiology for a Digital Church: Theological Reflections on a New Normal 9. Period Poverty and The Dark Womb: Re-Conceiving Theology through Reproductive Loss 10. Critical Thinking and The Priority of Mind 11. Robert C. Roberts, Recovering Christian Character: The Psychological Wisdom of Søren Kierkegaard 12. D. Bruce Hindmarsh, The Spirit of Early Evangelicalism: True Religion in a Modern World 13. Resurgence of African theology and philosophy in 20th century practices: Kametic Spirituality and Ubuntu 14. Renaldo McKenzie’s, Neoliberalism, Globalization Income Inequality Poverty And Resistance 15. (Secrets to unlocking) Divine Intervention. In segment two: I critique Cris Barrish article in WHYY news which available on 90.8 on the FM dial. The story is also on their website at https://whyy.org/articles/delaware-student-testing-scores-pandemic-learning-loss/ According to Criss, “while almost all Delaware K-12 students were back in the classroom last school year — albeit with periodic pandemic quarantines and closures — statewide testing scores remained well below the achievement levels of five years ago.” But that’s not true and the comparative range is deceptive, skipping 2018-2019, which shows that performance was falling after 2017 well before COVID started and schools were closed. However the study failed to reference that. Follow and subscribe to us for updates on new shows and to follow this lecture series/ course.

Today we discussed the question: What’s Wrong With Philadelphia and by extension American cities and the world and explored solutions. Two Philadelphia residents who are professionals and higher education graduates discussed this question with me today on two separate takes. Their ideas about what’s happening was quite powerful and revealing. We not only looked at Philadelphia but cities across the world in terms of the issues that are creating problems for society in various places today. We explored and highlighted: Social decay Lack of family and supervision No guidance Poverty Falling median incomes Lack of opportunity Anger Politicization of issues Poor educational preparation/lack of critical thinking etc. listen to the episode, send us a feedback, and donate at https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/support.

The Senate recently passed a bill, dubbed the inflation reduction act aimed at reducing inflation and minimizing its effects while beefing tip the social safety net. But is this workable and how will does taxing the rich pay for this bill without passing costs onto consumers and end users which is usually the case? It then puts us back at square one. (How does this reduce inflation when you increase corporate tax by 15 percent & close loopholes, & then give the IRS 124 billion dollars when needy families could’ve gotten that money? This will ultimately create a 15 % increase in costs because corporations will pass this tax on.) We discuss this in this episode of the podcast. We also explore other economic news concerning the us econikic outlooo and our growth by a report from one of our contributors Sheldon McKenzie, a Banker and analyst at US Bank. He talks about the feds recent increasing the interest rates and his fears about the us markets. We present his fears and comments about the us economy and markets in this episode. Tomorrow we will do street vibe talking about what’s wrong with Philadelphia as we interview two individuals about what’s happening in Philadelphia and in US cities. We will resume this week with regular podcast shows that we have been working to develop during the break and will have those for you.

What is your ticket out of Poverty? Is it Education? Yet Education is not cheap and that’s a problem for society; that’s according to Professor Andre Isaacs whom I interviewed for the podcast episode today. It was quite powerful as usual. In retrospect, sometime ago I wrote an article in the Jamaica Gleaner saying “Science & Technology” are keys to Jamaica’s competitiveness in the global world and so, this interview In https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal a former Jamaican, Dr. André Korrie chemist/professor of Holy cross University was quite necessary and important to the discussions there. In fact, he indicated that he was not as as involved in Jamaica but would like to share his work and help them anyways he can. That’s something we will work on. He explored his work which started at U-Penn having to do with developing compounds that addressed certain types of cancers as a way to proliferate so as to disrupt a pathway. He then went on to UCLA Berkeley to work on synthesis that no one had worked on before. He is currently leading his students at Holy Cross to develop methods for making heterocycles or new structures. He revealed that this is important as over 80 percent of pharmacies and drugs that we use have these structures embedded in them. He stated emphatically that he and his students do not make drugs, just ways to make them better. Note: side effects come from structures and his work involves ways to develop structures to minimize these side effects. We discuss ways to make more global south and Caribbean or black and brown people more interested in science. He stated that people are choosing careers that can help them climb out of poverty and they don’t think about pure science - Chemistry, Physics and Biology; maybe medicine or Business but that’s it. He also alluded to the point that our education system and that the funding is not available for science in this regard. He stated that India and China have invested in their peoples so that they’re in STEM fields. But for Black people in Jamaica and the US, there are disparities and lack of interest. Example: Facial recognition are not properly black peoples due to this disparity. I asked “what’s happening in the industry and how can we become more effective in responding to new diseases and viruses?” He stated that science is powerful and that after COVID was identified, they sequences the genes and within a few months was able to develop a vaccine. This was due to MRNA technology. Nevertheless he confessed that science literacy is lacking and absent from curricula and that people don’t understand complex concepts which created the suspicions in science and the Breakthroughs; people just couldn’t understand why it took so quickly to develop a vaccine when they do not understand that science is at its pinnacle in terms of how we quickly Scientists can develop drugs to dealings with new diseases and viruses. Further, he stated that science communication is what is needed to help with breaking down these misunderstandings and of course we are the Neoliberal are always talking about the aim of communication is to make popular what was the monopoly.

As we celebrate one year Sunday July 17th, we are giving back to community by raising awareness about a sport that has the potential to re-establish & strengthen community. That is what Steve Chagnon and the Tennis League Network, located in major cities in the US, is all about as they engender engagement and networking at the community levels while popularizing the sport and providing opportunities for tennis players and interests to get together to play at the non-professional level. We here at The Neoliberal Round Podcast and The Neoliberal Corporation are working to do our part in promoting & developing tennis by facilitating awareness and providing free tennis racquets to children & young people in communities such as Philadelphia, where racquets are very expensive and tennis is seen as a "white/privileged sport," but it is not. We have been going to basketball courts to demonstrate tennis visibly among these groups so that they can become interested, aware and motivated to want to play. We also give racquets to these interests who eventually begin learning to play the game. But we need your help to do so & have given out over 100 racquets already, that we have restrung and re-gripped for prospects we meet at in these communities at parks. We discussed this with Steve who indicated during the interview that he will donate some racquets to our efforts. The interview with Steve was about one hour long and we learned his motivation for starting the Tennis League Network which is running in 44 cities: Boston, Philadelphia, L.A., New York, D.C., etc. He stated that the Tennis League Network is celebrating 17 years and is about to begin its Summer Flex league tournament in several cities beginning July 20th. There is also the fall league which will begin in September. The winners and top players will square off in Miami in December. In fact, over 125 players compete in Tennis Philly alone, while New York, Boston and L.A. have even many more competitors. In the interview, Steve stated that he does not get any support from the USTA and that they have a different idea about tennis and how to develop the sport which is not necessarily ideal or working. Steve explained that while the women are doing well, men's tennis in the US needs help as there has not been much top players from the US in recent times. However, he stated that the USTA's team tennis is effective in developing tennis and developing competitors who can compete and win but that more can be done at the community levels and that programs like the Tennis Leagues Network can be supported in a more effective way by the USTA which may help to boost awareness among younger people & rediscovering its growth & popularity which has lapsed or slowed over the years. His vision for the Tennis League Network is to move beyond just having singles tournaments and having or adding tennis socials; whereby more than just two people meet up for any given match. He is hoping to have tennis parties and networking events that hosts several competitors and players in one meeting. We concluded by talking about the current top players in the league and he explained that each top players from the various leagues will meet up in December to compete against each other. All are invited to come to the event in Miami, December 2-4, 2022. For more information about the Tennis League Network, you may visit them at www.tennisleaguenetwork.com. You can register there for tournaments, meet other players in your city and or become a supporter by donating and visiting any of the tournaments coming up. Also, you may also register for the competition coming up in December where all the leagues in the network get together to compete against each other. The Neoliberal Round & The Neoliberal Corporation will cover some of these events when we can and will join Steve and the league to promote tennis by sharing opportunities like these and doing a tennis racquet drive.

This is the Audio Podcast interview with David Fair, Deputy Chief at TP4C, regarding his part on the HBO documentary series “Eyes On The Prize,” which is a continuation of the 1980's PBS film; the award-winning documentary series telling the stories of the civil rights movement in the US. The first two series were broadcast in the 80s and covered up to 1985, and the new series will be released next year and pick up from there.
The episode begins with an excerpt from the opening sounds of the original Eyes on the Prize series by PBS. I then share a song that I sung to transition into the discussions entitled: “You’re My Brother, you’re my Sister,” as David embodied this need to demonstrate love that does not include color. Here’s a white gay man in the 1980’s who was defying his community! The interview was extremely informative and powerful. He discusses why he was interviewed for the new documentary by the HBO crew recently and talked about his work as a Union Leader and then Spearheading the setting up of funding programs to combat HIV/AIDS IN THE 1980S. We explored how the epidemic speaks to the issue of race & inequality as there were racism within the white gay community towards black gays which didn’t have any agency of such & lack funds to get treatment or access education about HIV/AIDS. He explored how it wasn’t until 1987 that city government in Philadelphia provided funding as most of the available funds were within the white gay community (private funding); Blacks were poor. The interview is available in audio (and video only on the Spotify platform). It was one hour long & we even touched briefly on other topics such as Child Youth & Family in Philadelphia, homelessness & the efficacy of documentary films in purporting truth.
In the interview, David said he uses his white privilege to create or effect change in a positive way by working to advance the lives of black and brown people affected by HIV/AIDS in the 1980s when he went from a union leader/organizer to pressing for help to support these vulnerable group to eventually becoming one of the person instrumental and the mastermind behind the setting up of funds and created organizations that are funded to support poor black community that includes those affected by HIV/Aids; and these agencies still exists today.

Note from the Interview: Today 1 out of every 7 young black and brown males are affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. And it wasn’t until 1987 that black and brown gay people got any agency to deal with HIV/AIDS, thanks to #philadelphia’s #firstblackmayor. Moreover, Reagan wasn’t providing federal funding to assist black and brown people to fight the disease. And black and brown peoples living with HIV/AIDS were poor and stigmatized more heavily than their white counterparts who were also discriminated against but was said to be racist towards black gay people. The white gay community had money, so that they never needed federal funding but did not care much for black gay people and did not share their funds with black gay people who were poor. This attitude is what defied these vulnerable groups. They are all subjugated and discriminated against but weren’t as united as they still practiced a form of racism and discrimination themselves. We explored these in the interview with David Fair on #theneoliberalround podcast season 3, episode 19

Today’s episode is entitled: We Are One Year Old: Moore Threatens To Give Up US Citizenship Over Roe & “It’s Crazy What’s Happening in Philadelphia; Everybody is Dropping The Ball on their jobs!” We present these as two segments. But first we do another “Breaking The Ice” Segment with Donte Nelson as a warm up excercise that you can participate in. We then go into Segment one entitled: And there are those like Michael Moore who can afford to give up their US citizenship but most are not as privileged to do so. The New York Post said that Michael Moore “vows to give up his ‘privileges’ of US citizenship…” (@nypost via Twitter — see the NY Post article here https://nypost.com/2022/07/05/michael-moore-pens-woke-independence-day-declaration/). I responded: This is Nonesense! Doesn’t he still have his #whiteprivilege after he gives up his so-called privilege of #uscitizenship? That trumps all privileges. And maybe he should instead use the power that comes with his US citizenship privilege to undo the practice of (white) privilege. In order to help fight to end slavery, the abolitionists did not abandon their fealty or esteemed positions, but used it cleverly to support the emancipation of slavery—A practice that was ambivalent to their declared independence that all men are made equal, free and have the rights to life, self government, independence pursuit of happiness and rights to life. But for Moore, his rant and threats to give up his us citizenship stems from his anger surrounding the conservative values that are imposing on liberal values, and to add insult to injury, the Supreme Court overturned Roe and seem to be teetering towards more injunctions that may overturn more liberal values. You can read the rest of this in my blog at renaldocmckenzie.Blogspot.com or listen to the episode. In the second segment entitled: “It’s crazy what’s going on in Philadelphia, everybody is dropping the ball,” I explore the reason behind the statement and other issues surrounding and leading from this. I then conclude the episode. Thank you for listening and reading. The Neoliberal is a production the The Neoliberal Corporation, https://theneoliberal.com, https://renaldocmckenzie.com.

Today’s episode is a long episode as we report on a Breaking News and also continue the Conversations surrounding the overturning of Roe (Part 2). This episode will feature two guests: Mr. John Anthony Castro, a US 2024 Presidential Candidate and Dr. Nolan Fontaine, Social Scientist and a brother from Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. The episode has several segments: the first is the breaking news: John A Castro a Republican vying for the Presidency in 2024 will be in Washington D.C. in July 25th 2022, to file a federal lawsuit in Federal Court against the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) to declare Former President Donald Trump an ineligible candidates d to have him regulated as such. The complaint will bring into question Donald Trump’s constitutional eligibility under section 3 of the 14th amendment to even be in the ballot or to be a candidate. Following the filing, Mr. Castro will have a press conference in D.C on that same day to discuss the filing and next steps. Mr. Castro has already filed a federal complaint against Mr. Trump and July 23rd will mark the 120th day since he filed the complaint against Mr. Trump and because he is a registered Republican candidate he has the green light to file the Complaint to file this federal lawsuit against the FEC on Trump’s candidacy. Mr. Castro submitted several comments on this issue and also explored issues surrounding the January 6 hearings that’s underway and responded to questions we had about the overturning of Roe. In other segments of the episode, I presented other arguments about the overturning of Roe and the issue of population change and population control and how the issue of abortion and life must also be situated within population strategy and the preservation of the status quo wept with the prediction that the majority will form the minority between 2020-2025 from studies conducted by SRBI. Dr. Fontaine joined the show to discuss these and to provide other comments on important issues in the news, such as the carjackings in Philadelphia that continues to be a sore issue. In fact, while traveling to our studios to do the podcast, Dr. Fontaine’s car was stolen but he managed to get it back. Part of the problem of rising crime and theft stems from rising poverty and falling median incomes. We commented that we need to deal with social issues and poverty in these communities such as Philadelphia where poverty is spiraling out of control. But another problem is that the District Attorneys office has not been following through on cases and dropped the ball. We discuss how the DA’s office in Philadelphia is slow to act and has allowed cases to be dismissed due to a lack of competent workers who follow up with witnesses and victims.

Is abortion a Woman's Right? What Rights does the man have and what about higher order ethics? This was supposed to be a Podcast discussion with John Castro regarding the supreme court's decision to overturn Roe. But he was unable to join us and will do so later in the week. So we have turned this Audio/Video Podcast episode into the beginning or introduction of a series on Roe Vs. Wade where we will lay out some opening arguments and pose some questions. We will have Mr. Castro to respond or comment on these later this week on part 2 and we will also have Ms. Outland, Right’s Activist and Women’s Advocate to comment and respond in Part 3 of the series. We will then conclude with final thoughts in part 4 of the series later next week. The Supreme Court recently overturned Roe vs Wade, thereby negating women a right that has been on the books for over 50 years. For many, Liberals and pro-abortion and rights activists, this is conservatives taking away women's rights; so, of course I’m looking forward to actually delving into this, and asking my guests about this. The fact is that the justices’ decision to overturn Roe has affected a lot of people on various levels, and it will have implications—financial implications as well—for those who depend heavily on funding that is attached to the former Law or Right in which the Federal Government was assisting with subsiding abortion and reproductive health programs, such as Planned Parenthood. But one may ask; why should the federal government allot federal funds from taxes for a woman to execute their individual rights to abort a fetus? This question stems from the argument that if it is their individual right to abort a fetus, then that should not be subsidized. Furthermore, the overturning of Roe for many is significant because it is a right that has been on the books for over 50 years and for many liberals and pro-abortion and rights activists, this is conservatives taking away women's rights and liberties. But Is the right to abortion an inalienable right of every American? Is it a right that is shared by all Americans? Is this right rooted in tradition, history and culture? The answer is what helped to shape today’s decision of the Supreme Court to overturn Roe Vs. Wade. We all have a right to life and we must also protect the right to life not just for self but the right of others to live. But when that right to life clashes with the right to choose then we must ask what is the highest ethic? Is it not the right to life? But is abortion of a fetus tantamount to killing a person? Well, it all depends on your value as a conservative or a liberal and this is the sticking point. But if truth be told, the fetus is part of the continuation of life itself. So then one may argue that the fetus’ life must be protected as in doing so one is protecting life itself and its continued existence. My Pastor the Reverend Michael Caine of the Old First United church of C Christ in Old City Philadelphia said that “many were in tears over the reversal, but I was pissed,” arguing that the Supreme Court was essentially taking away woman's guarantee of self-determination which he asserted was half the public and the population rights to decide what happens with their bodies, which is now “no longer protected by the US Constitution And lurching and lurching toward states’ rights never bodes well for justice or democratic nation,” Rev. Michael Caine of the Old First UCC Church, Philadelphia. Mr. Castro said that "Men can walk away from a pregnancy. Women cannot. This biological difference creates inherent inequality that can only be remedied by granting women the equal right to walk away from an unwanted pregnancy. This is about individual liberty, personal responsibility, and equality." President Biden stated that, "The cruel truth is that overturning Roe will hit poor women and girls the hardest." We will make comments exploring these in this episode.

Question: “you throw an egg against a wall it doesn’t break it doesn’t fall,” how so? This episode begins with this breaking the ice exercise and we are joined by a new Co-Host Donte Nelson. This episode is informative and has some humor. This is actually the final episode in the 4 part series on Towards Developing A Caribbean, Diaspora, Pan Africa Perspectives. But first we break the ice and made some comments about the Supreme Court’s Ruling to end Roe and issues surrounding gun violence and the recent killings in American cities. We also provide some update on a breaking news concerning the killing of two men in Germantown Philadelphia. We obtained information that these young men were killed by a perpetrator who was paid to execute these young men. In fact the killing was done execution style and we understand that it is a revenge killing associated with a woman in North Philadelphia. The two men died but another woman who was also shot survived and is in the hospital. Further we share news about the Philly Phase program and the problem of funding as some Philly residents who do not need the service defraud the program by accessing funds. We were informed that several tenants applied for and obtained funds even though they were not owing rent while today needy families are unable to access these funds because the program has run out of money. The question is why is the program disbursing payments to the tenants and not the landlord? Why isn’t there greater scrutiny? We contend with these and then get into the final part of Caribbean, diaspora and Pan African Thought. Thank you for your support and donate to us at https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/support.

This episode is broken up in two segments and each explores two major issues in the news and are breaking news: 1. Supreme Court Overturns Roe Vs. Wade & 2. The U.S. Senate passes Safer Communities Act. In Segment one we ask-Is the right to abortion an inalienable right of every American? Is it a right that is shared by all Americans? Is this right rooted in tradition, history and culture? The answer is what helped to shape today’s decision of the Supreme Court to overturn Roe Vs. Wade. We all have a right to life and we must also protect the right to life not just for self but the right of others to live. But when that right to life clashes with the right to choose then we must ask what is the highest ethic? Is it not the right to life. But is abortion of a fetus tantamount to killing a person? Well, it all depends on your value as a conservative or a liberal and this is the sticking point. But if truth be told, the fetus is part of the continuation of life itself. So then one may argue that the fetus’ life must be protected as in doing so one is protecting life itself and it’s continued existence.
Segment two: News Alert: Senate Passes Bipartisan Safer Community Act: And the senate passed a Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to begin tackling gun violence which expands background checks and close gun loopholes. But will this actually curb the gun violence plaguing communities like Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Uvalde Texas, Buffalo NY, etc? We are yet to find out but what we know is that guns don’t kill people, people kill people and with the rise of extremism, poverty, declining median incomes and the challenge of parenting and socialization where the young are being primarily socialized by media that devalues the individual. So then then solution must be multifaceted, and does this bill provide a multifaceted and comprehensive approach to curbing gun violence? Further with the recent ruling of the Supreme Court that strikes down NY gun law there is now the question of what can this act do to come up with any gun policy that does not violate or is interpreted to violate a person’s right to carry a firearm. The 6-3 ruling, with the conservative justices in the majority and liberal justices in dissent, struck down New York state's limits on carrying concealed handguns outside the home. The court found that the law, enacted in 1913, violated a person's right to "keep and bear arms" under the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment. We will take these up when we invite Ms. Outland an expert on women’s rights and a civil and rights advocate and activist. The Neoliberal Round is created by Rev.

This is part 3 of a 4 part series on Caribbean, Diaspora and Pan African Thought. The episode begins with some comments on the news: 1. The Supreme Court strikes down a New York gun law making it easier for Americans to carry guns; 2. Joe Biden’s Administration cancels another 6 billion debt in student loan and 3. An 18 year old massacred 19 children and 2 teachers in Uvalde Texas. We then break for ads and then get into the series where we continue from last week. This was a lecture I was giving to students in a class I taught at the Jamaica Theological Seminary where I taught Caribbean Thought. The lecture continues looking at the question of who we are and what we are. In the lecture I briefly outline the history that Caribbean thought contends with and ask the question: is the Caribbean (and it’s Diaspora) an invention of the 21st century, and if it is, must it now be reinterpreted and transcended? And how can we do that? By recapturing our own and capitalizing on opportunities that is revolutionary and make for competition. We further make the point that the Caribbean must be seen as a collective. Yet, the Caribbean’s unity is haphazard, not strategically targeting and effective. The Caribbean is an interdependent set of people who need to now recapture and reinterpret themselves by revisiting their history and being objective about it so as to then produce that which us unique to them. What is quite true is that the Caribbean’s inability to chart their own course since decolonization and realize real political independence and economic prosperity. What voice do you have as a Caribbean thinker and what are the threats to that voice? Are Caribbean countries truly free of the external and this illusion of freedom comes within competing worldviews. What of the issue of bias? We utilize Kenneth Clark’s “Dark Ghetto, Dilemmas of social power” to help us distill some of the concepts and explore the questions and our thoughts. We also referred ti my book “Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty And Resistance” to discuss these ideas. We delved into the issue of how identity presents an issue, by looking at how things are viewed, because of determinations based in analysis influenced by a brand that then lead to a branded perspective. We explored the problem of study and the issue of position and hierarchy within studies especially between the subject and the observer. We then begin to look at the issue of the “ghetto” but will take that up at the conclusion next episode.

Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in America. However it has not always been commemorated as a major celebration like that of July 4th. But marking the end of the subjugation of a people is major. But we’re making it a bigger thing that it is. There are small gatherings here and there, nevertheless, it’s not major and collective. In fact, today I was speaking with an African American Young man who works at FedEx. I asked him if he knew that today was a federal holiday, and he replied, “no, I should have taken off then….” I then said yea, it’s Juneteenth. He responded saying “what’s that?” A lot of people don’t know the significance of today. I say to you, the reason for all this diluted celebration stems from a clash: marking the end of slavery in commemoration that is national and public would satisfy and vilify black people but clashed with those who are still harboring guilt feelings from their ancestors participation in slavery. Further, we make reference to the recent killing of 10 black people in Buffalo by an 18-year old while man who the New York Times described as being “entranced by white supremacist replacement theory ideology and this comes on the heels of Juneteenth. And I have said that we will never be able to deal with the issue of gun violence from bad logic or bad analysis. We start from a bad presumes assuming they guns kill people. But guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Guns are tools that people use to carry out their wildest or greatest intentions. We must take the right approach. People kill people and life is about people and how they relate. So the issue is therefore one of human nature. We must therefore take a multi-faceted approach. Example Jamaica has one of the most restrictive gun policy yet they have one of the highest crime rate. In fact they have a byproduct of their gun policy: gun-for-drug-trade with Haiti sometime ago where the criminals trade drugs for guns from Haiti. They have an underground market. The solution to dealing with gun crime is dealing with poverty and extremism which correlates with rising gun crime. Further, the social decay from the devaluing of people or their other from the way people are being socialized; the music and media sensationalize disrespect, theft, violence and the negative side of people. We become suspicious of the other. We discuss these and more in the episode. Thank you for supporting The Neoliberal Round. Share this show with your friends and follow us.

This episode continues the series on Caribbean Perspectives: Towards Developing A Caribbean, Diaspora and Pan African Journal: Identity Part 2. We had introduced the podcast series on a previous podcast and discussed the issue of Literature as being a credible record of God’s with man. The podcast is recording of a lecture from a class I taught at the Jamaica Theological Seminary on Caribbean Thought. Today we continue the episode looking at Identity exploring the issue of Jesus the Jew and American Exceptionalism and Caribbean and Diaspora identity. The topics seems far fetched but is explored together within this lecture for a particular purpose. I explain the purpose as I present to the lecture to the class.

He revealed that he is also a musician and did background vocals for some famous Gospel Artist such as Mary Mary, Fred Hammond etc. Rev. Jackson is also a businessman and runs an event-planning and cleaning service in Atlanta which he stated was affected by COVID-19 but is rebounding. He shared his concerns with the upsurge in murders in Atlanta and indicated that there has been loosening of gun restrictions in the city and that this may have also created the increase in gun reform. He discussed his dreams of seeing everyone united irrespective of denomination or religion so as to work to solve the issues of despair and the opioid crisis in America.

This Episode is interesting as we share a News Alert about a company posing as an Investment Company that claims to be based in the UAE. They are not on any radar but we were able to uncover their scheme as they had sought to scam us and to steal our information. I outlay the step-by-step process by which this company approached and engaged us as a way to expose the ways in which these companies operate and to warn others as they are an elaborate and experienced group that’s using technology and certain industry-wide practices to scam. Be Warned! This can happen to anyone and this is one company that must be added to the National and international radar. In the introduction I present poll updates and results from polls I am/was conducting about Gun Reform and Period Poverty. I also commented on this: I’ve been saying that. And as a result you caved to them allowing hundreds of thousands of people to die. Absolutely ridiculous over rules that serves the interests of those who seek to plunder and has no time for rules themselves. I have written about this and provided commentary on my #podcast. #Putin even gave a speech 🎤 March 16th, indicating his brutal intentions and you’re just now saying this. https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/episodes/Putins-latest-speech-March-16--2022--He-Reveals-His-Mindset--I-Delve-Into-It-Here--The-Red-Flags-e1frnpr. And on April 8, we learned from even The RUSSiaN News Agency Russia’s plans to #Denazify #Ukraine and the region and call for outright #Genocide, https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/episodes/BREAKING-NEWS-Russian-News-Calls-For-The-Denazification-of-Ukraine-Full-Blown-Genocide--Putin-e1gucc2. Yet they are now saying that they overestimated and underestimated. SMH, we need real leaders who can see far and wide, these guys are weak knees and lack vision and are too myopic! What’s going on! We also made some updates on upcoming shows: June 13th 6-8 Stop the Violence Outreach; June 14th Break (My Birthday); June 15th: Interview with Rev. Deon Jackson Atlanta; June 17th : Series On Caribbean Thought Journal Part 2; June 18: Interview with Dr. Andre K. Isaacs, Chemist & Professor at Holy Cross in Massachusetts.

This is the introduction of a series on Series: Caribbean Perspectives: Towards Developing A Caribbean and Pan African Thought Journal. That’s a project plan of The Neoliberal Corporation. However, Is there anything such as “Caribbean Thought” and btw thought is not dinosauric or static, as it is #dynamic and #critical. Hence what of Caribbean thinking and minds. What have Caribbean thinkers contributed to this world order and what are they saying now especially in this #neoliberal world that has been penetrated by Trumpism, #populism and this renewed sense of indifference and revival of #fascism. I taught the #course #caribbeanthought at the #Jamaicatheologicalseminary. The course was originally developed by Rev. Dr. Garnett Roper, former President of the Jamaica Theological Seminary. I first taught the class Spring Semester January 2021. This course will benefit from my work in #neoliberalism and #globalization in the Caribbean or the global north south and past and post-colonial history and philosophy.
What are your thoughts on the idea of “Caribbean thinking” and how effective and #influencial is this thinking in shaping not just Caribbean life but life in the diaspora? What #contributions or #impact have thinkers of Caribbean thought impressed on past and current affairs on the #globalstage and will it bear any relevance for tomorrow given this regions level of #economicdependence. Nevertheless religion is an important feature in the Caribbean, is it to its detriment and what of the individual and its economic competitiveness within Neoliberal Globalization, given its monolithic and Judeo-Christian influence and masculine posture? But this episode is brief and is reflective as it considers, “Is the Bible a record of man’s personal encounter with God?” The The Neoliberal Round is created and hosted by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie, author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality Poverty And Resistance.

In this episode I discuss part of the conclusion of my upcoming book: entitled: Neoliberal Globalization Considered: 1900’s to The Recent American Recession & Beyond: Where I continue to look at the socio-economic effects of neoliberal globalization on the world’s most vulnerable peoples. We say it’s part of a conclusion because it is; and will be the rationale and beginning of a current project and research on Privilege, Power, Position, And Status where I will include as part of my Doctoral studies at Georgetown University a study on power and it’s strategy to increase, extend and maintain power which poses problems for progress. The study of Neoliberalism leads into this, but I will provide an analysis in brief of my upcoming work and the rationale to the research in a sense. I begin this episode with an introduction stating that: Americans are opposed to big government because an active state threatens democracy. Hence, we have an alternative form of state that allows for big business that concentrates power and wealth, but at the expense of democracy. The complexity of the whole issues arises out of conspiratorial events aimed at amassing power and wealth via an unregulated uninhibited system that run roughshod over the state. Thereby creating an industrial society controlled by large corporations and not the state which was forged in the heat of an anti-colonial sentiment that resulted in the containment of it's constitutional powers. But which do you prefer, few large firms that concentrate all the power and wealth at your expense or a humble state that balances and equally distributes power on your behalf? A small state is weak enough to regulate large corporations and their externalities.… William Domhoff in 2010 suggested in his book “Who Rules America? Challenges to Corporate and Class Dominance” that it was Corporations. Further, Charles Perrow in his book, “Organizing America: Wealth, Power And The Origins Of Corporate Capitalism" (2010) shows how American corporations are and became the dominant and overarching force/feature in America.
But, my project is going further asking the question: Who Rules Corporations, if they rule/d America? China, which will be the focus of one of my research papers and project as I study Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty And Resistance. The study will suggest China for reasons we must discuss and present in further detail for later. But we will briefly outline here, how and why we made or come to such assertions? https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/who-rules-america-rev-renaldo-mckenzie
However after careful consideration and study, it would seem that The world now has two global challenges: One is in #Europe - #Putin and #Russian aggression. Second is #China in Asia and their push to become the new #superpower. (See Podcast The Neoliberal Round on Apple, Anchor and Spotify @ https://open.spotify.com/episode/0LiHQXyJPHFi3XpXc9YqCX?si=XIPathq7RPaQKVUE7q4DPA.)
China and Russia are #socialist countries with a kind of totalitarian system of government. While the West is seeking to develop partnerships and to rule by neoliberal strategy which pivots to corporate greed that is not easily detected, the East (China and Russia) is still living in the past using past values of a world that used intimidation and aggression to realize its goal of world domination and control. So, the question of Who Rules #America becomes even broader to #Who Rules the World? We have suggested that it is Global Elite across countries even though China and Russia have their own personal national interests that defies this.

You cannot afford to miss a minute of this Video Podcast episode where I interviewed Shelly-Ann Weeks Executive Director of the HerFlow Foundation in Jamaica, and recent recipient of the Governor General's Award. The Governor General is Jamaica's appointed Head-of-state and representative of the Queen of England who is the actual head-of-state of Jamaica. It was dynamic, informative, inspiring, animated and have you drawn into the story of her life, work and the impact she is making. Ms. Weeks had me on the edge of my seat and was dropping knowledge; it was an erudite analysis albeit for just over one hour. This Interview was very important to the solutions towards ending poverty and the UN 2030 SDG goal of building the human capital especially among vulnerable peoples and places as a way of eliminating poverty and improving equity in societies and the world. HerFlow exists to empower women and girls about reproductive health through education and mentorship. Their flagship project is to end Period Poverty (the inability to afford menstrual products when needed) in Jamaica. They focus most of their work in schools ensuring that girls don't miss classes because of period poverty. So far, they have donated nearly 5, 000, 000 period products. Help them continue their drive by making a DONATION, because together we can permanently do something about not just period poverty (because she shouldn't have to choose between her period and her education) but eliminating the stigmas surrounding women's reproductive and sexual health. Did you know that 44 percent of girls in #Jamaica are affected by #periodpoverty and of this figure 24 percent drop out due to Period poverty? Period poverty isn't just a #female issue but should also be a #man's issue. New Zealand and Netherlands have made ending period poverty a priority by providing resources to girls free-of-cost, but what about countries like Jamaica, what has been the policy and national drive to deal with the challenge that Period poverty poses, such as productivity, dropouts, gender inequality, stigma around women's health and the health-related issues that may stem from doing nothing? You will be surprised to know that many of the schools in Jamaica and poorer countries are church sponsored and as such, their theology prevents effective response to the issue and challenges surrounding sexual and reproductive health and the diluted or non-existent national policy in these countries on ending period poverty and women's and or reproductive and sexual health which also affects the building of the human capital. We discuss these, including her secret to losing over 100 pounds, resolving major health-related issues and her fearlessness in the daunting task with little help and a culture that discriminates against women's health, and the religious that assumes the negative side of femininity and masculinity. It was deep and Herflow's story is worth listening, reading and or watching. The interview is available in audio and video on all our podcasts feeds and channels. We will also have the full transcripts later this week in The Neoliberal Journals and The Neoliberal Post and commentaries on The Neoliberal Corporation's websites at https://theneoliberal.com and https://renaldocmckenzie.com.

You do not want to miss a second of this episode; it was quite interesting and revealing. Today on The Neoliberal Round Podcast we present another “Street Vibes: Pulse of the Street” where we stumbled on an amazing group called the “Ausar Auset Society” followers and teachers of Kamitic Spirituality and Culture. The interviews were quite revealing and we also learned about Bamba Ra aka Sha’Heed Muhammad who recently died and is being celebrated as an iconic black revolutionary from Philadelphia who graduated from Howard University and was involved in the Student Non-violent Action Coordinating Committee (SNCC), The Revolutionary Action Movement and the Nation of Islam; and was a frequent contributor to the Journal of Black Poetry. Importantly I raise a concern at the beginning of the episode as a preface saying that I do a compulsory course at Georgetown University as part of the Doctoral Studies Program in Liberal Studies where we are expected to do a course called DLS Foundations 1, 2, 3 and 4: where we look at the foundational history of civilization especially that of the West and to an extent the East. These studies, particularly Foundation 1, looks at our foundation by studying Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome and Europe, with a few reference made to Eastern China, Russia or India. But nowhere do we look at Egyptian/African history and ideologies and how they also form part of the understanding and development of our civilizations. I explore in brief before revealing the interview as a backdrop and as a concern that I must continue to bring before the academics at Georgetown and those running the DLS program. I then delve into the interviews largely with High Priest Shekhem Ma'a Kheru Men Metu who unveils the concept, practice, culture and spirituality of Kamit and the Ausar Auset Society’s role in re-popularizing, teaching and facilitating this traditional and historical culture and spirituality that has been somewhat incorporated in today but without its totality and wholeness. We also interviewed Priest Rameneikhi about the society’s impact and reach and touched on Bamba Ra. We connected with others on the ground and listened to the youngsters as they were practicing their drumming which oils be heard throughout the Interviews with the High Priests or Shkhems. The Ausar Society is International with chapters all over the world. This interview was conducted at the Pennsylvania Chapter located at 6008 Germantown Avenue in Philadelphia Pennsylvania 19144. The Society can be reached at 215-843-0900. Visit their website at www.ausarausetpa.com. They have RA Qi Gong classes and opportunities for learning about Kamitic Spirituality Sunday at 5:00pm where they teach Introduction to Kamitic Spirituality. There’s also Introduction to Kamitic Meditation on Fridays at 7:00pm and all their sessions are in-person or virtually. Thank you for listening to The Neoliberal Round Podcast.

This episode is part of a research study being conducted by The Neoliberal Corporation and Rev. Renaldo McKenzie towards a final project on “Privilege, Power, Position and Status… exploring the strategies of power to establish, extend or maintain its hegemony or position, and the problem this poses for society. We explore answers to the issue concerning whether there was a Democratic Plot to win the 2020 US Elections And are the GOP Justified In Pressing to limit mail, early in-person and Election Day voting?
After the 2020 US elections, there has been approximately 250 - 425 new laws have been proposed by the GOP in 43 - 49 states to limit mail, early in-person and Election Day voting, after the unsuccessful attempts by Donald Trump and various other Republican officials to overturn it on allegations of voter irregularities which they could not prove.
However, sometime after the elections, in November 2020, I made an anecdotal discovery about how some people voted and wondered if that justified the need for some Republicans who are seeking through the Courts to strengthen election laws surrounding voter identification that some Democrats and Activists call voter suppression. So I decided to do some digging and made an interesting discovery, that I had initially published as a Conspiracy Theory in an article in The Neoliberal Commentary. But if truth be told, it was never a conspiracy theory but based in unverified facts lacking academic research and rigor as it was from a few sources. So, I decided to conduct a deeper study through ethnographic, mixed with some journalism investigation methods. The Neoliberal Corporation (and as part of my research at Georgetown) embarked on a study to explore this conjecture or hypothesis couched in the aforementioned article, that I will outlay later in this commentary. According to Amy Gardner, Kate Rabinowitz and Harry Stevens in a story published in the Washington Post, “The GOP’s national push to enact hundreds of new election restrictions could strain every available method of voting for tens of millions of Americans, potentially amounting to the most sweeping contraction of ballot access in the United States since the end of Reconstruction, when Southern states curtailed the voting rights of formerly enslaved Black men, a Washington Post analysis has found.” Voting laws proposed by Republicans in 43 states would limit voter access - Washington Post. It was six months after the 2020 US elections and a group of us, at The Neoliberal, conducting anthropological and investigative research for a story we are working, was in-between New York, Philadelphia and D.C. neighborhoods living in and going to street corners, community centers and homes to have conversations with some of the men we had formed (anthropological) friendships and relationships with, as we get to understand their voting behaviors and patterns and political interests, given the new inability to scrutinize voting with COVID-19 fears and this practice of social distancing. It was not the traditional way Americans voted which was at the public polling centers. In 2020, most of the voting took place within the homes and ballots were mailed-in boxes. We rapped with the guys on the corners within these locals-Asbury Park NJ, Philadelphia (North, South, Northeast and west), D.C (Prince George) and NYC (Harlem, Bronx and Brooklyn) days and evenings, in hoodies and skullies as if we were one with “them” on the corners, and we found out quickly what we could use to connect with the people in our study, The issue is that “Absentee Ballots” and or “Mail-in Ballots” or “Drop-Boxes” create problems for Democracy. Since Black men and young people don’t vote as much, but their Mammas do, who were influenced by the “Me too” movement and was already against Mr. Trump who they saw as misogynistic.

After a short break, we begin season 3, episode 1 with a live in-studio interview for the first time since season two with Dr. Nolan L. Fontaine. It was deep and academic, yet down-to-earth and informative. We talked about his roots in Chester PA, Phi Beta Sigma, how he ended up at the University of Toronto, his dissertation or curriculum project and what he plans to do next, now that he has his doctorate. He commented on the John A. Castro Interview that we did towards the end of last season and asked him a question about the Clinton trials. Dr. Fontaine shares his goal of reorienting his family in the American Indian tradition and embraces this side of his heritage as an important aspect of who he is being and becoming.

This episode is quite revealing entitled: Breaking News: “Donald Trump’s Role in The American Experiment,” & “Was the 2020 US Elections Irregular?” The episode is broken up in two general segments: Part A Breaking News: The Evidence is mounting and staggering Suggesting that Donald Trump was strategically involved in what is now known as the American Experiment—the attempted take over of the US federal government which was planned two days ahead.
TheNeoLiberal.com obtained news on Monday May 2, when Rev. Renaldo McKenzie of The Neoliberal Corporation, sat down with John A Castro for an interview which lasted for two (2) hours long. It was very revealing with a Breaking News. The summary is available in The Neoliberal Post at https://renaldocmckenzie.com. The full interview is available on our podcast at The Neoliberal Round at https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/ or on Apple podcast, Google podcast, Stitcher, Spotify etc. However, in this article we are interested in what Mr. Castro revealed which we believe is breaking news, as most if not all regular Americans are not privy to the evidence gathered so far in the ongoing investigation regarding the January 6 attack on the US Capital. Mr. Castro, who is privy to such information revealed That the evidence that is being gathered, seem to suggest that Donald Trump has responsibility in the January 6 Insurrection at the US Capital, and that Donald Trump may not make it to the the general elections if he plans to run given the staggering evidence that is mounting, which is not available publicly as the investigations are still underway. But what we know from John Castro, is that the GOP may be reconsidering their position on Trump given the evidence that will be released soon.
Mr. Castro said emphatically that he plans to censor Donald Trump at the New Hampshire Primary and will bring a suit against him on the second Tuesday of November 2023 for giving aid and comfort to the January 6 insurrection.
He went on, ”Donald Trump is poison and toxic” and that “one cannot have poison and toxic when you are bringing people together. One must remove the toxic which is Donald Trump, as such he is staking his campaign in this stake as he believes that Donald Trump bears some responsibility in the insurrection and stated that “it was orchestrated or planned 2 days before the insurrection. with a plan to install their own representatives and strategically it making moves to accommodate the American Experiment. What was breaking and revealing at this juncture of the interview for us here at The Neoliberal was when he stated that “they were actually trying to overthrow the republic… they were literally trying to overthrow the federal government,” and that this was called the American experiment, (which I (the host) estimate believe resembles the Russian special operation that Russia or Vladimir Putin is conducting in Ukraine right now). see the full video interview at Renaldo McKenzie Studios on YouTube https://youtu.be/6NJjQIvfEpw. In Part B I share a developing breaking news or story that we had started to work in in 2020 to be released later. In fact we published an article in The Neoliberal Commentary LinkedIn where I made a pronouncement: Absentee Ballots and or Mail-in Ballots or Drop-Boxes create problems for Democracy. That’s what the #SupremeCourt is grappling with today as Republicans push massive voter-suppression #laws across the US, admitting that they can’t win without making it harder for Black and Brown Democrat-leaning people to vote. And guess what? They maybe Right! Let’s not pretend that Mail-in voting didn’t create a unique situation in especially Black households where Black-men and many young people do not vote. But they live in households that do. The Mammas organize and lead the family votes in the home.” https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/conspiracy-theory-myth-truth-covid-democratic-plot-us-renaldo.

The episode was over 2 hours long and we broke the interview up in two Parts, A and B. In Part A will I lead the discussions with some general questions about who John is, his, childhood, and started to explore his platform and his plans for America. In Part 2, we continue the interview but included several recorded questions that a few individuals asked me to put to John. In Part A, we learned from John that 1. the student interest deduction is crap, because as long as you’re paying student loan, you shouldn’t pay back taxes. 2. His company, AI Tax is now valued at $180, 000, 000 (AI Tax stands for Artificial Intelligence in terms of Tax planning). 3. The difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats messaging is usually based on the “heart” while the belief is that the GOP bases its arguments on logic and legality. He suggests that there needs to be a balance or a middle ground, and that’s what we need someone who can bring people together and bridge the political and racial divide. (Which in my estimations can only be resolved by “stop thinking Race.” He stated that he is at a very unique position given his experience with life on all sides. He responded to a question I asked: How do you plan to improve social services while being fiscally responsible? He replied saying that this is possible because as a young man that is of the twenty-first century he has found leveraging technology, as a way to realize those two goals since he has done it with his business which has grown rapidly in just a few years. He went on to say this facilitates the ability to spend less and generate more. On the matter of information, security and privacy, he promoted the idea of a “Digital Force” like the military and various branches that prospects various aspects that can pose threats. In fact, he states that the 4th Amendment needs to be extended to private companies, so that private individuals can now sue if these companies violate their users privacy and security. What was really telling and interesting was his view that Trump should not be banned from Social Media because this threatens free speech and states that we must explore other ways to discipline individuals who cause insurrections, which he discusses more fully the issue of Trump in Part B. On the issue of anti trust, he believes that these laws need to be enforced including enforcement of anti-monopoly laws, & asserted that monopolies are against the de-centralization of power & underscored the importance of the Human not as a Resource, But as Talent, for then we will not think of the human as a way to discard, for then he the human would be treated as family. We explored the issue of Energy Independence which he is one of his platform plans, where he believes that we have a responsibility as stewards of God’s Earth. He stated that the GOP, use to be known as the party of Environmentalism & Teddy Roosevelt. But that the GOP got derailed equating environmentalism with “Tree Hugging,” which I have said is a result of the poor messaging & the issue of language which John alluded to as well. He stated that on the issue of drilling, we must develop a prudent way of transitioning from coal & oil to solar energy. One way to do so is to grow the super structure, or grid, for the more we grow it, the more we can slowly do without oil & create innovative ways of producing energy that ultimately saves the planet. But it’s a process. In Part B, we submitted several questions from the public who recorded questions for Mr. Castro. One powerful result came from a question posed by Zion, a young Philadelphia resident asking about what are you doing to promote POSITIVITY, and to move the country forward. John stated that “we all love this country but we all disagree on the means and the goals. Bridging this ideological Divide is the most important aspect of my campaign, Obama tried & failed, because he had power but did not have the courage to use it! … Https://thenoliberal.com

We had already published a story in one of our affiliates https://renaldocmckenzie.Blogspot.com entitled @Americans on The War: Some Are Against The Huge Ukraine Relief Given The US’ Own Problems With Poverty And Lack,” Some Americans, especially African Americans in Philadelphia (whose city is beset by rising poverty, falling incomes and homelessness among younger peoples and are reeling from a drug epidemic that’s destroyed towns like the one shown in the cover image (Kensington Philadelphia suffering from de-industrialization) are against this 12.1 billion dollar package because they say what about poor people here in this country (US). They say it’s too much. That’s from several conversations I have had among 20 city residents, especially African American males 25 and older in Philadelphia. You can see the rest of that blog here Americans on The War: Some Are Against The Huge Ukraine Relief Given The US’ Own Problems With Poverty And Lack http://renaldocmckenzie.blogspot.com/2022/03/americans-on-war-some-are-against-huge.html. So we did a follow up story asking some new respondents on their position and recorded their responses which we shared in this episode of The Neoliberal Round’s “Street Vibes Pulse of The Street.” We begin by sharing two videos of Biden commenting on his plans for Student Loan Debt Relief followed by another video with him discussing the need for the 33 billion Dollars to give to Ukraine.

We bring the local to the global.
This Street Vibe interview comes on the heels of an upcoming interview The Neoliberal Corporation will be having on The Neoliberal Round Podcast with Mr. John Anthony Castro, US 2024, Presidential Candidate, hosted by Renaldo McKenzie, Author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality Poverty And Resistance.

This Street Vibe interview comes on the heels of an upcoming interview The Neoliberal Corporation will be having on The Neoliberal Round Podcast with Mr. John Anthony Castro, US 2024, Presidential Candidate, hosted by Renaldo McKenzie, Author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality Poverty And Resistance.
Who is John Anthony Castro. John Anthony was born into a working class military family stationed at the U.S. military base in Germany and eventually graduated from Georgetown University Law Center with over $250,000 in student loan debt. Against all odds, he persevered (https://johncastro.com).
This is important because one of the question I wanna put to John is, what were your goals, did you always have dreams or desires of becoming a US President or an Attorney or an entrepreneur?
And secondly, what were your challenges in coming to achieving or coming to this point and how were you able to navigate them?
Because it’s important to ask this question as we get into this episode of Street Vibe on The Neoliberal Round Podcast or interview below in the Post, where I interviewed a young man from a vulnerable community in Philadelphia, from a working class family, a family that is marginalized, and someone whose had to navigate life having a kind of experience who’ve had visions and dreams like Barack Obama, visions and dreams like John Castro. And I’ve spoken with several people who’ve said that they’ve had dreams and visions and this particular young have had to put them in the back burner in order to ensure he has a roof over his head or to make ends meet. It was revealed that he went to school, Temple but dropped out due to financing and he didn’t want to have a huge debt, so dropped out and joined the Military…. Listen to this interview it provides a good contrast between lives and the decision making as we get ready to interview Mr. Anthony next week Monday May, 2, 2022. Renaldo: This is important; I asked you “what are your goals?” Your goals are to what…?
J: To be a Realtor, to sell houses… you’ll see.
Renaldo: Ok
J: … sell houses, have a business…
Renaldo: What are you doing to realize it?
J: I said nothing… fasure, I put them to the side so I can have an income over my head.
Renaldo: So you spend your life making sure you have a roof over your head. How long have you been… when did you first discover that you wanted to realize that dream…?

The "#illMind of #Hopsin 7 by Hopsin is where we will begin this second part of a series on "#Privilege, #Power, Position, Status and Secrets to Unlocking #DivineIntervention." "Ill Mind Of Hopsin 7" by Hopsin Intro/Outro: It’s us, find power It’s us, find power Live life, mind power It’s us, find power Live life, mind power
Yo, fk anybody I might alarm Life is a tour, I sit and ride along Taking some notes and then I write the song I’m staring down the road my life has gone Is this where I belong? Is it wrong to not believe in right & wrong? My mental state is fing me up And I cry the pond while asking you for some answers But we don’t have that type of bond That my desires gone with the way that I’ve been living lately If I died right now, you’d turn the fire on Sick of this bullst, niggas call me a sellout Cause I hopped on Christianity so strongly then I fell out Now I’m avoiding questions like a scared dog with his tail down Feeling so damn humiliated because they looking at me like I’m hellbound What story should I tell now? I’ll just expose the truth I'm so close to the fing edge, I should be close to you But who the fuck are You? You never showed the proof And I’m only f*ing human yo, what am I supposed to do? There’s way too many different religions with vivid descriptions...."
Hopsin rap suggests that he’s at a place where he is experiencing critical thinking at work. You see, that’s what happen when you begin to expose oneself and think critically, it clashes with beliefs that you had once held because those beliefs came to you as a top-down approach with no ability to question them for yourselves which locks your brain in a particular reality. Until you are able to break free from that. When you are able to, it challenges you to a point of distress and frustration. But that is good, because it means now you are open to tremendous possibilities and the understanding of all things beyond any particular perspectives that were borrowed at best and had monopolized the mind so as to make it complicit and a willing participant in external abuse. That is what we must guard against which is why we should develop the individual so that he can think for him or herself without the possibility of being hijacked. As we think about Privilege, Power, Position within the development of human society overtime and the challenges they pose for progress, critical thinking and communication become absolutely necessary because knowledge or the ability to think critically, while having access to information that is decentralized and de-monopolized are key to augmenting the individual so as to avert external manipulation and discrimination. The lecture that I did on Critical thinking at The Jamaica Theological Seminary for the course “Caribbean Thought” sometime ago, is worth sharing as we explore the issue of privilege and power, position and status and this drive to want to regulate information and to create laws about teaching critical history... Certainly, as we think about how to protect against disinformation and manipulative power, while we realize effective communication which is “to make popular what was the monopoly,” critical thinking becomes paramount. When others seek to create laws & policies or regulatory methods, which would suggest that people can’t think for themselves, we are about facilitating learning geared towards augmenting thinking that do the critical thinking that is needed to filter news, narratives & perspectives. More laws and regulations do not necessarily change anything, they more than anything centralize ownership and limit access. Which then create or expand an underground market, that people can still access. Recently, Former President Obama said, “The way I’m going to evaluate any proposal touching on social media & the internet is whether it strengthens or weakens the prospects for healthy, inclusive democracy.” But, what does this mean?

This is the first in a series on “Privilege, Power, Position & Secrets To Unlocking Divine Intervention.” By Renaldo McKenzie, the title of a book project he’s working in. He begins this episode by playing a song “God is Good,” by Jonathan McReynolds. Then he begins by sharing a real life personal testimony. He then transitions into the topic by questioning his own interpretation of that experience but then highlight that any experience should not be objectified and universalized as it’s a perspective but a powerful one worth hearing and exploring as we live our own lives and contend with the reality of the Divine. This story is powerful and provides a Segway into the understanding of privilege power and position as this experience can be used to privilege an experience or promote a position appealing to the authority of the divinitive experience. But this has been the trend as we begin to study the development of privilege and power and position within historical literature. And recently David French was on MSNBC Good Morning Joe sharing an article he wrote in the Atlantic, “Free Speech for me But not for Thee,” where he underscore how the GOP have evolved or devolved into a party of rules and laws and not individualism and freedoms. But with respect, Renaldo corrects Mr. French arguing in this series episode that it’s not new, this Pharisaicalism, hypocrisy and duplicity where the goal posts keeps changing. Renaldo argue that it is a strategy and norm of power to change and adjust the rules so as to reassert a position. He shares a comment from his book Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality Poverty And Resistance where he talks about how NAFTA was re-authorized so as to maintain a particular position of dominance and gain. In 2006, I was serving as the Youth Minister for the Northern Parishes of the United Church in Jamaica and Cayman Islands. Something happened that led to an interpretive conclusion about the sacred and profane: The Divine or God whatever he, she or it is called intervene/s in so far as we believe in the Divine’s intervention. But isn’t that a cliché and doesn’t that belief leads to a conclusion that is already biased by the assertion or assumption of that belief? For in the Illiad the intervention that is expressed is one that is similar – if it works out in the way that you want it to work out then that was the Divine intervening; if not the Gods didn’t want a particular outcome. Nevertheless, the story I am about to share below is powerful which leads to a personal conclusion that is found elsewhere, and if not relatable by others then the revelation is special. But let us continue with our testimony. I was at the Manse on a Saturday night with 4 younger men from the “hood” whom I was mentoring at the time. I explained to them that I’d like to take them to a youth mission 2 – 3 hours in another parish as I was to be the main speaker. I invited them to pray with me as I didn’t have any money to put gas in the car to get to the destination but was hoping for a miracle or some “divine intervention.” We gathered in my room in a circle and prayed asking God to help us to get to our destination by intervening in a specific way. We prayed that God would move upon the gas station owner to be present at the pump when we get there and allow us to get a full tank on him. I had urged the divine while praying to intervene in that specific way that the young men could bear witness of the Divine and since I am about promoting the business of God and not self that he would intervene as this was not for self but for his “glory.” The following, Sunday morning we all woke up got dressed had breakfast and loaded up the van and started on our way with the gas tank on E…But then the gas station owner showed up out of nowhere…you re good to go, you don’t have to pay…They were convinced that God had intervened. However, the interpretation of such a revelation may be the result of historical knowledge about the sacred

This episode begins with a Video message recorded and delivered to the Russian People by British PM Boris Johnson. We discuss issues from it in light of our continued discussions on “Privilege, Power, Position and status” and Communication. This is also available as an article in The Neoliberal Post at https://renaldocmckenzie.com and https://theneoliberal.com. It is rather interesting how context and current situations determine and drive policy and positions on issues, such as those concerning information and communication. And I tell you, it’s an issue and strategy for and of power. For the reason that when a dynamic is changing thereby creating a paradigm shift in the currency, level of power, position or privileges of peoples dynamics couched in certain values, whatever policy that holds it in place becomes a problem.
Case-in-point: I carried a story about inside Obama fight against Disinformation in The Neoliberal Post published April 11. 2022 where I wrote: Who controls the narratives in the twenty-first century that has seen the decentralization of communication and control of information? Thanks to social and alternative media. Therefore, no one really has control, what we have is a plethora of perspectives, staples of information for us to access and analyze, information that was once reserved. This is necessary as it helps to realize the goal of Communication; to make popular what was the monopoly, and Man has always challenged or obstructed access to information to increase, maintain or establish power or hold over a society or a people. However, Social Media challenges and is an affront to this power, even as it helps communication realizes it aims of making popular what was or is the monopoly. I concluded the article saying: We should be very nervous and suspicious of major news, their political supporters and wealthy sponsors who are leading the charge to reconsolidate their control over the news and information. What moral authority do they have to impose their control that has been at best political and divisive. When social media affects their position and power and the access and decentralization of information pose problems and threats for them and their narratives and what they hope to achieve,” (https://renaldocmckenzie.com/?p=332).
Indeed, we are constantly emphasizing this aim of communication so that as a society we can understand it fully, as we look at power and the dynamics of humanity in society that “Communication is to make popular what was the monopoly,” and this war highlights the importance of access to information and communication.
So while we are here in America exploring ways to regulate independent news media so as to control its independence and ability to put out various news, Russians are having to deal with a highly regulated news that’s serves the kremlin devoid of a diversity of perspectives for them to choose from and British PM is recommending ways they can avert this so that they can get access to independent news media that provide staples of news that is independent and varied so as to facilitate proper engagement of the news and information to get a balanced and comprehensive perspective free of monopoly… By Rev.

Today we have developing news concerning the incident on Monday April 12, 2022; in Sunset Brooklyn NYC where at 8:34 am a lone Gunman released smoke devices before shooting indiscriminately on an NYC subway train. This news comes right after the announcement of President Biden who had a press conference in the White House Rose Garden beefing up efforts to prevent gun violence by requiring “ghost guns” to be have serials, imposing the requirement of license when selling and buying these guns, which are already required, and appointed a new ATF director. While they were trying to curb ghost guns use, someone was planning to use other type of weapons to carry out their heinous thoughts. The identified individual is said to have Come from Wisconsin, renting a u-Haul van in Philly before driving to NYC. The gun man injured 20 and has not been found. However NYPD is investigating a suspicious individual Mr. James who is the person who rented the suspicious van that was at the scene. Now concerning this man’s motives, “NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said there are possibly some social media postings connected to James in which he mentions homelessness, New York and Mayor Eric Adams. The mayor's security detail was heightened out of an abundance of caution, Sewell said,” (CNN). We had just carried a story about being more comprehensive with addressing gun violence and stated that homelessness, rise poverty, decreases in household incomes and rise in prices coupled with COVID, Russian-Ukraine War and social media, pop culture, music and video games raising our children who are now vomiting the crimes are issues we must look at. And today we are hearing that the alleged gunman was dealing with homelessness. We then move into the second segment entitled: “Communication & Disinformation & Obama’s Fight.” Who controls the narratives in the twenty-first century that has seen the decentralization of communication and control of information? Thanks to social and alternative media. Therefore, no one really has control, what we have is a plethora of perspectives, staples of information for us to access and analyze, information that was once reserved. This is necessary as it helps to realize the goal of Communication; to make popular what was the monopoly, and Man has always challenged or obstructed access to information to increase, maintain or establish power or hold over a society or a people. However, Social Media challenges and is an affront to this power, even as it helps communication realizes it aims of making popular what was or is the monopoly. The drive to regulate information must be approached with a level of suspicion and scrutiny because of the rational and so-called pure intentions of this regulatory effort to manage news calling it a corrective means of dispelling misinformation or disinformation or crazy news. However, the strategy to do so would suggest that Americans aren’t individuals with brains who can filter and analyze information and make decisions for themselves based on the news that they have received or based on external stimuli. The problem is that news have become a political and divisive issue and the fact that social media helps to decentralize control of information, thereby providing greater access and several more diverse perspectives of the news, means that no one or two groups can control. Further if you have money, then you can control the narrative and when you look at elections and politics in an America, one cannot rely on major news sources as their news is riddled in political ideology and a spin of the news that satisfies their big money backers. Fox, CNN and MSNBC are prime examples of news outlets that are not innocent of the crime of monopolizing the news for its cronies so as to extend their supporters control or to create, establish or maintain power or a particular political dynamic. So Social media poses problems for these major news outlets The Neoliberal Post https://renaldocmckenzie.com

This Podcast show is powerful and vital. It speaks to the current discussions around the Rising Gun-related Murder Rates and Gun Reform. We begin by playing Pooh Shiesty Song: “Back in Blood,” which seems to be promoting the same thing we are trying to fix. This song is the number 10 song on the 2021 American Music Billboards and is the number one Rap song on the billboards for 2021. The episode begins by analyzing a Pew Research data and their analysis of the findings by their staff reporter John Gramlich who made an erroneous conclusion from a dab analysis. We delve into the data and provide solutions to some of the challenges surrounding Gun deaths instead of gun reform and suggest why President Biden has been slow to enact Amy more new gun control policiesZ we will make bold statements in this show starting with the this: Therefore, John Gramlich’s and the Pew Research Center’s conclusion here that “Despite the increase in such fatalities, the rate of gun deaths – a statistic that accounts for the nation’s growing population – remains below the levels of earlier years,” (ibid) is misleading as it does not account for periods where the rates were lower and even years where the data included other weapons, explosives, which must be accounted for when making judgments based on comparative analysis about the data. This brings us to the question, as to how we were able to bring and keep the rates down between 1998 to 2016? What policies on gun reform did they apply? Read this week's Newsletter article in #linkedinnews via #TheNeoliberalCommentary or The Neoliberal Post at https://renaldocmckenzie.com entitled: #MurderRates are Rising Sharply! Is #GunReform the #Answer? The article is powerful and extremely vital to the discussions seeking solutions to #guncontrol and #gunviolence in #America. It considers issues of #socialization such as #popculture, #videogames such as #grandtheftauto #rapmusic such as #BackinBlood by Pooh Shiesty and Lil Durk and of course the increase in #Poverty and fall in the real incomes of median households, and even revisited the #prohibition years and #jamaica where gun-related crimes and murder are among the highest in the world despite their restrictive gun control policy as there is no policy that gives Jamaicans the "right to bear arms".

Breaking News: The Neoliberal Corporation has obtained an ominous article today published by the Russian State News Agency which is of course owned and controlled by Putin and The Kremlin. The story was obtained via news outlets in Ukraine and we confirmed this with official news sources in Ukraine and the Ukrainian official State sites and feeds. The story calls for the denazification of Ukraine however this is not really breaking news. This is part of the Kremlin’s and Putin efforts to brainwash by constantly publish the same information justifying the war over and over again in different articles that speaks to the same issues - denazification of Ukraine. However, what is new about this article is found towards the end. The end of the article stated that Russia was helping the US decolonize the world of Nazism, but this is ambivalent and hypocritical because earlier in the article it said that it is draining Ukraine of a new kind of Nazism which it describes as America values pervading Ukraine which the article and Putin has argued is being used by the same West it now says that it’s helping to drain of Nazism which is western values. This is convoluting and ambivalent. For, why would the US, want Russia to help them drain Ukraine of Nazism. It seems to forget what it had stated previously. Further it is quite laughable that the article stated at the end that it has made sacrifices helping the US to lead the process of decolonization but then explained in the same article a process to recolonize Ukrainians. This makes no sense, and this is a new argument. Finally, what is new to the staple of brainwashing campaign of selling repeated stories justifying the special operation in Ukraine by rehashing the same ideological points, is the statement in the closing paragraph where the article stated that “Russia will now go it alone from here…” But this is not true as Russia has been going it alone for a long time. They alone decided to go to invade Ukraine. So, this is quite amusing and strange that the article would conclude with such a new departure from its usual refrain. Unless Putin is now backed in a corner and has nowhere left to turn and it seems this is exactly what has happened. Because these closing statements are ambivalent, hypocritical and clash with previous statements and intentions stated about the justification for the war. Whatever the conclusion we have already stated that this war based on all the speeches and publications from the kremlin is couched in human prejudice, ethnocentrism which challenges human progress. The article clearly shows the basis for war: stripping away the individual or the humanity of another, redefine that stripped person’s or nation’s identity as less than, and then move to impose either through passive and then coercive and violence that is justified as a systematic process. This is how Power is maintained, established or increased in the world. People privilege a particular value or idea and impose that through various strategies in the world which involves stripping away the human and redefining their reality within one’s own realities. But what is the ultimate of all things? That we become one reality despite and with all of our individuality. A man said, “one you label you, you negate me,” (Kierkegaard). Let us move away from labels that breathe suspicions, division and destruction, so that we can truly be United! The episode is broken up in 3 segments, Introduction, Content, Putin Speech March 16 which resembles this piece, and then ending credits. The Episode on Putin’s Speech, March 16th … is available here and you may peruse the episodes to find the show we did on that speech, which was quite telling and speaks to this remake of that speech with the added conclusion.

This Episode is very informative and resourceful especially for those in school or college or seeking to go to college and having to balance the myriad of situations occurring in their lives in addition to trying to successfully get through a course or program. This episode provides several recommendations or tips which may help you to overcome these challenges. The presentation was done live at a school with a group of senior students at a school in Germantown Philadelphia; students who are getting ready to go to college. The episode ends with a summary of the main recommendations and tips. The presentation is also available as an article in the The Neoliberal Post. Pursuing higher or professional education is not easy, especially as black or brown students who have to joggle between work, home, school life while trying to deal with limited resources, and the challenges that come with being black and pursuing a college education especially if you’re at a school that is not predominantly black or diverse. Recently I have met, interviewed and engaged several students especially African American students (AA’s) who have shared their experience in college and who are struggling. The recurring challenges for these students, listed below, which we have summarized, are based on interviews, social media posts and comments, studies and reports and ethnographic methods: The way the course is taught or they experience culture shock Time Management Work life, financial stress and meeting academic deadlines and difficulties adjusting to the institutions academic requirements Limited or no family support (feels lonely) they say great that you’re in but then don’t understand why you’re there it’s value and have no time as they navigate their own lives and you feel more doubtful about why you need to do this. Family only get involve when you are about to fail and that threatens all their financial investments that they work hard to secure your college education. In fact, I encountered two of these students recently whose concerns I will share and provide specific recommendations for students who may have similar experiences. One 24-year-old student commented that: “I’m just burnt out overall honestly and it sucks because I’m really drained, and I be feeling like giving up, but I can’t!!." Then, there is the PHD student I refer to as Ace, who is overwhelmed by having to do so much reading and is dealing with balancing work life and having his ideas challenged in class. wrote that: “So much reading to do but this is what I signed up for…. My ideas are challenged, I question my own ideas, and I question those of others,” (Ace). Many of these students have quit, had to withdraw and or opt to study elsewhere or another discipline all together. But it doesn’t have to be like that. There is support and ways we can be less overwhelmed. I have developed some tips that you may find useful, which I have shared in this article. But I will share two of these stories and provide a step-by-step list of ways we can minimize or overcome these challenges that I have found useful as a Researcher, Social Scientist, Academic, Author, Doctoral candidate, with years of advanced education, and teaching seniors and college students, entrepreneur and someone who has experience the same struggles, but is having some success. I will break them up into two stories, the first is a young man, I refer to as Zee who is experiencing burn-out and having difficulties grasping some concepts in his math class, and then I will provide specific recommendations … you may view the article at https://renaldocmckenzie.com/?p=219

This Episode is entitled: Are The BLM Closer To Achieving Their Aims? And The Confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson As Justice. In this episode we discuss news of corruption within the BLM and consider the question which leads from them are they and the Resistance or Social and Resistance Movements closer to achieving their aims? The answer is quite ambivalent and interesting as while we are exploring that question of efficacy and effectiveness, Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first African American woman to be nominated to the US Supreme Court, is being confirmed by the US Senate. We actually join and carry the vote confirmation by the Senate Live, while we discuss the foregoing topic. The episode is broken up in two segments, the first segment is the introduction and the beginning of the senate vote to confirm, which we interrupt to delve into the discussions around the BLM. We then break and rejoin the Live confirmation event in segment 2 where we hear VP Harris reports on the results of the vote and officially announce the confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Nomination as Court Justice to the US Supreme Court. The story regarding the BLM is also available in The Neoliberal Post at https://RenaldoCMckenzie.com or via https://theneoliberal.com where you can access all our feeds and affiliates.

This is a long episode that is a production and presentation from a conference presentation and a lecture. The paper was published in 2011 but then revised and updated by the Neoliberal Corporation and published in their Journal: Towards Developing a Journal of Caribbean Perspective. The Podcast is entitled: Redistributing Income to the Poor, Towards Sustaining Development: Social Assistance in Jamaica and the United States of America - The NeoLiberal. This paper is part of a thesis Written by Renaldo C. McKenzie in partial fulfillment of his Master of Philosophy in Liberal Arts at the University of Pennsylvania, published in 2011, updated with an extended conclusion April, 2022. This paper is published as part of a series of paper that will be presented as Jamaica celebrates sixty (60) years of Independence this year beginning August 6, 2022. VP Kamala Harris and the PM of Jamaica Andrew Holness met recently to discuss how the US can continue to support and strengthen Jamaica’s goals towards realizing their goals of sustainable development especially in the area of building their human capital. This paper examines how extensive and effective Jamaica’s, and the United States social security program is particularly, social policy on poverty reduction. We will explore the Program of Advancement through Health and Education (PATH) aimed at providing unemployment cash assistance to the poor and unemployed. This includes making comparisons with similar programs (TANF) in the United States. Uppermost in our consideration is the impact of neoliberal globalization on Jamaica’s and vulnerable people’s ability to provide welfare to its citizens and or to create a path towards sustainable development including poverty reduction and increased distributional equity. The episode is broken up into several segments: 1. Preface and Introduction, 2. Jamaica’s Social & Economic Context; 3. The D/Evolution of Social Assistance; 5. Redistribution Outcomes of PATH & TANF; 6. Conclusion: A. How Effective is PATG and TANF in targeting the poor? And B. The need for a workable and sustainable-sustainable development plan. Reference List, Videos and end Notes available on https://theneoliberal.com. Here’s the Abstract: Abstract:

This Episode is entitled: Introducing “Privilege, Power, Position, Status; & Secrets To Unlocking Divine Intervention.” It is the title of two books I am working on that I will collapse into one: Part A and Part B keeping within the tradition of my first book. This episode is split into 4 segments as the episode is a very long episode, 1hr and 56 minutes or so. This is part of a conversation or discussion I had with Leader Process introducing the book and it’s value and importance for society. I do not go into the book in detail but provide a context and a rationale for the study and indicate some methods and why two books in one with a section that does not seem to have anything to do with the first part of privilege. I will provide a detail and “Volumus” reply. I will reference the book: “Neoliberalism, Globalization Income Inequality Poverty And Resistance.”

This episode is entitled: What are the boundaries of Comedy? The First Part we discuss Will Smith Slapped #Chris Rock after he made a joke about Jada’s hair calling her “G.I.Jane. Will Smith Slapped Chris Rock after he made a joke about Will’s wife hair calling her “G.I.Jane. But Will’s wife’s struggle with alopecia, a condition that causes hair loss. So Will was defending his wife from the insult which touched a sensitive and emotional issue for the Smith’s family as Will’s wife has been struggling to deal with this issue. But Chris probably was trying to make light of a serious situation. But he miscalculated as it was a personal and psychological and sensitive issue that could push buttons and it did. For #Jada didn’t laugh or smile and Will got up, went to the stage and hit Chris.
I do not subscribe to this type of reaction and violence is never the answer. But standing up for your family and your woman is what men do in the animal kingdom. Chris was out of line. But comedians always use jokes or humor that at times cuts deep and seems more an insult as if insults and bringing up peoples emotional scars is funny or what counts for jokes. Comedians will now tread carefully when trying to crack a joke. This lead into Part B: What is or are the boundaries if any of comedy that seeks for laugh to arrive at some selfish gratification? It is like milking a barren goat 🐐 to the point of hurt so as to satisfy one's hunger or thirst without any sensitivity for the cow because the cow is an animal and it's feelings are not important to the herder only his desires to feed his family and quench his personal desires. Comedy has become just that: herders who will go below the belt to crack a joke to appease his desires to achieve humor, applying a strategy developed from his/her awareness of human nature. For human beings are more reactive to certain stimulus or stimuli especially those that are negative and "below the belt." This has never been the strategy for comedians and jesters; and many ended up quitting as they were unable to sustain or maintain the goal of comedy and comedians—to be funny and provide humor; but for what purpose? To provide humor that leads to a kind of catharsis or release. Humor was always necessary as it helped to provide a break from the tensions, seriousness and insensitivities of everyday—work—life. Comedians never understood this and had forgotten about their purpose and goals, as they abandoned their initial identity subscribing only to the activity or the mission to tell jokes for laugh. But in doing so, they've mixed up the priorities thereby diluting their essence. Why: Comedy within neoliberal capitalism has become infected by the new ethic of greed, nepotism and connectionism.

In this Episode entitled: News Update: What’s Happening in the Russian-Ukraine War. “Today was a turn of events” And The PITCH, we present a news update regarding the Russian-Ukraine War and showcase another segment of “Street Vibe”. The episode is therefore divided into three (3) segments: 1. News Update on Russian Ukraine War: Today was a turn of events where we report There’s breaking news coming out of Ukraine: A. According to Mykolaiv, a Senior Ukrainian Government Official: Today was a turn of events and small victory for Ukraine. He said that the Ukrainian army and its foreign legion of volunteer fighters were able to repel the Russian army and liberate Nikolaev whom he described as fascist invaders. He reported that they are now working to free the region from the Russian occupation and invasion.
B. Further, while Ukraine could not get their skies closed, they were able to close the sea, and this was due to the help from Turkey. He explained that this support is incredibly important for the Black Sea regions.
C. However, he went on to say however, that due to the Russian provocations, the humanitarian corridors were all closed over Ukraine today. But, he reassured that they are aware of the situation especially in Snigirevka regarding how the cargo is going and will still get the aide that’s needed there. We will continue to provide any major updates as they come in. HTTPS://Renaldocmckenzie.com. Segment 2. Street Vibe: A Rough Draft of A Pitch. The founder of The Neoliberal Corporation fleshes out the idea of a pitch for The Neoliberal with three random travelers in Philadelphia PA and share his journey as he discusses one of Kevin Harrington’s “Seven Steps To Building A Personal Brand.” 1. Remember that the "idea" of your brand is just the beginning. You need to take action! Segment 3. Wrap-Up: We discuss some wishes we have to speak with Kevin about this on our show sometime and do an interview which may provide useful. One Street Vibe contributor, Lisa had stated that People in her community need information and help still so that they can get to the next level as there are so much talent yet to be discovered just lying dormant or waiting for the right investment. So we will definitely benefit from having someone like Kevin and John Anthony Castro who also recently reached out to me and added me as a someone he follows on twitter. I actually messaged him and asked if he would allow me to do a podcast with him and he has accepted. When that happens you will hear about it.

We introduce the new sub program or segment and comment on the themes of power, privilege, position and status and the challenge they pose for humanity. We will then break with an interlude and move into Segment 2 where I wrap with Lisa, a random passenger I picked up in Philadelphia who was more than happy to discuss issues of power and the dynamics of peoples in society. Lisa is not an academic but provided a meaningful perspective to these discussions and shared a concern about her community. We then break with an interlude and then move into Segment 3, where I provide a recording of an impromptu wrap session I was leading introducing “Neoliberalism.” This segment contains one or two expletives and the word Nig*a is mentioned but without malice or I’ll intention as the expressions were used in gesture or with humor and within an unprofessional and impromptu manner.

This is a long but very informative and deep episode about The Foundations of Knowledge and the Hegemony of Faith. It’s really part of our efforts to study power, it’s strategies and effects on the dynamics of human society. The discussions are a continuation from the previous episodes where we discuss Putin’s Mind and Florida’s ban on teaching and Reimagining Peoples and the challenges in the world today stemming from privilege and position. But this kind of privilege and suspicion of the other exemplified in Putin's motivations is evident not only in politics but is the foundation of almost all major religions of the world. And religion or faith has provided the legacy of privilege, position, hegemony, dominance and wars such as the crusades and Suicide Bombings. Even as I explore "The Secrets to Unlocking Divine Intervention," one must be careful that this discovery is not presented or accepted as the ideal or better theology, but a perspective in reality from a subjective experience that may facilitate catharsis, or some broaden understanding or practice that may aid or support the dynamics and challenges of life.
For when and if we’ve connected with “God,” we shouldn’t privilege that personal realization steeped in human prejudice or personal interpretation of that revelation which was probably meant for me and my Divine connection. Yet we have sought to universalize a brand of Divine intervention as if to proselytize or to create franchises instead of providing a perspective that may help to inspire and advance a human soul and preserve life. For if life is to be preserved then at times an intervention that is Divine may suffice to appease that Divine goal of life and the enjoyment it brings the Gods. If truth be told, we have universalized a brand of divine intervention so as to continue to assert our hegemony. But this is not new the beginnings of Christianity and the bifurcation of Judaism into "Jews for Jesus" and "Jews not for Jesus" created a situation where these positions jostle for positions that’s privilege themselves and beliefs over others. When you study the foundations and evolution of knowledge up to the patristic traditions and beyond you see how these branches utilized interpretive methods so as to assert their positions and Romanized Christianity which provided a victory for “Jews for Jesus” who at that point reposition themselves and started their hegemony and growth over the world. We will delve into these fully as I develop my final paper that looks at development of privilege and position.
Furthermore, as we think about these matters and examine the foundations of religion, we see the polishing or incorporation of Socratic-Platonic philosophy regarding piety and "philosophical preparation" to achieve "eternal life" within the development of western foundations of religion. While the Jews look for a Hero that is Like that of the Greeks Achilles, those of the Messianic persuasion saw their hero as Jesus who is the Christ and who dies to save the day. One may come to a conclusion about the influences how the traditions of Greek philosophy are mixed elaborately within Christian traditions, as the early church and religious fathers had attempted to promote a religion that was better than the others. And the fathers were selective, ensuring that the traditions and literature that would create or lead to the hegemony of Christianity was included in the canon of scripture, which we now refer to as The Holy Bible, that was nonexistent in the patristic and the early part of the medieval period… we will break this segment into two parts one is an introduction about what we are doing here at the Neoliberal and what we are about. Then we introduce the topic picking up from last week and discuss the topic in Part 1, Part 2 and Closing arguments Segments outlining what occidentalism and Orientalism is.

This Episode is absolutely Powerful. We discuss "Reimagining Peoples Within Critical Race Theory: Not Thinking Race And Moving Away from A Victim to A Hero Approach.” It is a longer episode and is academic but I flesh out the concepts so that anyone can understand the technicality of some discussions. The episode is broken up in 4 segments: Introduction which explores why Florida’s ban is based on bad analysis and the origins of Race as a Pseudoscience. My review of Berry’s Book “Price For Their Pound Of Flesh, And closing arguments and an update on how some Americans feel about the US Relief to Ukraine. We carried a podcast episode recently, talking about how Florida passed a ban on teaching students to “feel guilt” on history. It was also published as an article in last week's LinkedIn newsletter, "The Neoliberal Commentary". I wanted to add another point to the discussion surrounding this issue as we get into the topic of discussion for today, "Reimagining Peoples Within Critical Race Theory: Not Thinking Race And Moving Away from A Victim to A Hero Approach.” The point is that Florida's ban against teaching students to feel-guilt on history seems to be based on bad analysis, in that, it presumes that people aren’t responsible for their own emotions or their internal feelings or responses towards external stimuli. The fact is each person is different and unique and may have one feeling or reaction towards an external stimulus which differs from another when exposed to the same stimulus or stimuli. This is where Descartes was useful, when he arrived at “cogito ergo sum” (I think therefore I am)—pointing out that knowledge of reality is certain because of the inescapable proof of the reality of one's own mind in the very act of doubting one's own existence. This leads to the implication then, that we can’t really know anything outside of our own minds and reality of ourselves (See Descartes, Rene, “The Philosophical Works of Descartes, rendered into English,” Translated by Elizabeth S. Haldane and G.R.T. Ross, 1911). Therefore, we are only aware of our own feelings and are the only ones who can truly make sense of reality for ourselves. But this ban seems to blame the truth of history contained in lessons that is actually on schools' curricular or business programs aimed at developing diversity among their students and staff respectively. However, based on the subjective understanding of reality described by Descartes, we cannot assume a feeling for others, because we are outside of the realities of individuals, and individuals have minds that impress a subjective understanding of the experience of a particular reality or stimuli within their reality. Therefore, an experience and or feelings of guilt make up an individual's personality and subjective understanding of reality. The ban assumes an experience on everyone and comes to a conclusion about a personal response. Further, if people feel guilty from exposure to stimuli, isn’t this a normal human response given the fact that we have consciences and rationality based on our human consciousness and therefore an idea of justice, fairness and discrimination. Further, this ban gives students tremendous authority over the classroom and learning, for any student can now say they “feel guilt” from any lesson in history that is taught….

Putin’s latest speech March 16, 2022. He reveals his mind. I delve into it here: Putin believes the West thinks it’s of a higher caste and is not to be trusted for they only use peoples and treat them as expendable. He justifies genocide or murder or killing Ukraine and those who side with the West as a purification mechanism to strengthen Russia (all of Russia) including the former USSR countries. In this speech he reveals his true intentions to unite all of Russia by cutting down and cutting off those who side with the West and believe that Western values about example about gender equality are better than Russians position on gender equality. You can be for gender equality but don’t force it on us, don’t believe that it’s better than our position that puts men and women in their proper place. For Putin he believes that the West assumes that it’s progressive or democratic or slavish ways of life is better and that this makes their society better than Russia. He believes the former USSR countries have lost their way and are adopting Western ways at the expense of Russia and in order to save and preserve Mother Russia and its children from departing from that which is truly Russia, we must “spew them out.” Even if it means going to war. This is extremism, the kind of extremism that seems to be growing everywhere. It was just recently where it happened here in the US when white extremists marched to the US capital who many believe were, under the influence and motivation of Donald Trump, to stop the VP from certifying the US presidential elections, a democratic process here in the US. Further Putin is being duplicitous and hypocritical when he says others believe their way is better when he is forcing his way as the way for all Russia to follow. Prejudicing a way of life and expectating all to subscribe to that or be killed. Further, once it was the way of life, but when a way of life or a taboo is no longer a taboo and now accepted as part of the way of life, then there is a backlash from the status quo. Saving Russian values, ideologies and lifestyle is like the old holding on to a past quickly leaving them—Russian Conservative traditional values must be protected at all costs!
So, Putin’s goals do not stop with Ukraine, it only starts there. For his mission is to force the other former Soviet countries to fall in line or die. Not in the sense that they must join Russia and give up their national, but more so for these countries to maintain the Russian way of life, values and principles and not behave as if the West is better and that we (Russia) must bend to their way. This is what makes all of Russia week, and vulnerable to take over from the west. The West is invading Russia ideologically and that is the highest sin or evil that must be root out even if it means war! Russia is not just Russia in the geographic sense. Russia is the entire former Soviet countries, (values, ideologies and principles). The purity of this must be protected from the West which are using the other USSR countries to penetrate so as to dominate all—of—Russia/ Mother Russia. Putin is suspicious of the West and thinks we cannot be trusted.
But he also wants All Russia to keep its identity even if the West thinks it’s backward or unfair and he is willing ti kill thousands for those fears. But what if those countries want a separate identity that is not All Russian. What if these former USSR countries accept certain western values and realize for themselves the challenge’s of the current ones. That’s traitorous Putin would say. For no one must depart from the Russian way even if the Souviet Union has broken up. In effect, Putin embodies totalitarianism and despotic leadership. If he believes that destroying lives for the sake of maintaining some ideological purity is salvific, then using nuclear weapons is absolutely not out of his reach or plan. The West must be warned, that this current invasion is only the beg

Whatʼs happening in the Russia-Ukraine war: The longer the war drags on the more it tilts towards Ukrainians favor and away from Putin. So Putin would want to end this Now. It is my opinion as at February 28th, 2022 that Putin miscalculated: he was expecting a swift and quick and easy invasion and takeover of #Ukraine. If he had done so life would have continued as usual in the region and he would have come out saving face as he did when he took over #Crimea and life went on. Even the International community was willing to tolerate his tantrums by applying soft sanctions to appear as if they were doing something to overturn Putin’s mind so that at the end they could save face after Ukraine fall to Russia. But never did they expect the Ukrainians to put up such a fight. These unassuming sedate people suddenly started to use whatever means to defend their country and pushed back and delayed the enemy. In fact, they hurt and injured several Russian operatives. The world took notice, and started rallying international support for the Ukrainians. The President Zelensky was partly responsible with his defiance and inspirational messages to his people and the world, exposing Putin’s lies and pleading for help and demonstrating a willingness to fight to the end. When this happened, the leading figures in the international community couldn’t help but to act and apply serious sanctions and help; as they realized the world had noticed what was happening.
The longer the war drags on the more it tilts towards Ukrainians favor and away from Putin. So Putin would want to end this Now.

Who Rules America? Corporations, China? In my latest #study which I have abbreviated and submitted as a newsletter article I write that: I share this hypothesis here and included five minutes of Bill Maher’s video on the issue. William Domhoff in 2010 suggested in his book “Who Rules America? Challenges to Corporate and Class Dominance” that it was Corporations and Charles Perrow in his book, “Organizing America: Wealth, Power And The Origins Of #CorporateCapitalism man shows how American corporations are and became the dominant and overarching force/feature in #America.
Today my project is going further asking the question : Who Rules #Corporations, if they rule/d America? #China, which will be the focus of one of my research papers and project as I study #Neoliberalism, #Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty And Resistance…. Listen to the podcast

Covid is a tool that is being utilized to disempower and take away American Rights and Freedoms. The Unvaccinated are just as likely to transmit the Covid Virus as the Vaccinated! And No one is immune from its symptomatic effects whether or not you take the vaccine. It seems yo be an issue on one immune system. So why are we requiring proof of vaccinations as a way to force everyone to her vaccinated. So that they can continue to drive to narrative that Trump was wrong and Biden is right. I tell you this, it is becoming a political issue as the Democrats are fallen over on their words and Trump and the GOP are looking more right which is becoming a sticking point and hernia for the Democrats and ho must now try and convince us that they are still right about COVID

I’m writing this book because what I’m about to share has helped me and when you have this kind of information that can help why hold onto to it share it. It has helped me and I Know it will help you. I have noticed a pattern from my own experience as a pastors son and now a former pastor and theologian and reading and hearing stories about how the divine has intervened in people’s lives thereby breaking current thinking doubting the efficacy of prayer and reality of Divine Intervention. Preface: Because I’m living and working in a judeo Christian milieu this article will draw on those experiences and much of those stories but is not limited by them as I fully appreciate and accept all religious and spiritual and personal reflections and positions about god as all are working out their own salvation but we may find instances of similarities and moments of commonality especially when we speak of prayer and divine intervention. But my experience is Christian and I relate to god and make sense and have chosen to use a Christian color not over any other. If God is or the divine is the ultimate of all things If god is greater than that which nothing greater can be conceived or or imagined. If god is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient; how is it … that … we can put limits on him/her…. so that, we can “fix God”, in a mould that confines him/her to our time, space or quantum physics. If God is unlimited why do we limit him to just one thing! (That is if we can limit him. Because we are limited, we are creatures, but we say that God is not). In fact God is beyond the word God. God is just human semantics utilized to make sense of the divine! So how is it, that we can just see god as Christians and not anything else? How is it that god is just Hindu or Muslim. In fact, if god is beyond and transcends all it would seem as if he is that and more. Or that is a cultural expression of the way in which the divine reveals himself at some point in time to a particular set of people who have utilized their own context experience and culture to interpret and represent that (revelation of that ) god either as Hindu Muslim Christian or whatever the culture or the context is So that when we see god, god is … Christian because those who have served to understand god within a particular culture based on his revelation of himself to them have chosen to use Christian lens But why then say Your is exceptional and the only way that leads to the divine. Why universalize your idea of God as the only ideal expression of the God as if attain a position of privilege!

Check out my #podcast, The NeoLiberal Round, on Anchor This episode is powerful and dramatic. It’s a live conversation/debate that I happen to capture while in a heated discussion with one of my Fraternal Line Brothers (LB6) of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, about Covid, Conspiracy Theories, and What Not. Here are some amazing lines and excerpts from the discussion: “Why am I taking a vaccine if you can give people stale vaccine? That’s why some people don’t believe the science of the vaccine?” And “they make the system so that only them can make money off it” And “And when the outsiders learn and figure out how it works and come up with a way to get money and compete against them … all of a sudden it’s a problem and they create a policy about

Jamaicans should not mold themselves into this kind of dynamic allowing others to formulate opinions about us as if they are still in charge & matter. @JamaicaGleaner, we continue to see ourselves in our imperialists eyes & mold. They can talk about us but can we talk about them?
asifahmad don’t have any moral authority to chide our leaders when the #UK enslaved blacks & created #colonies that they helped to destroy. #Jamaica will deal with their own leaders. The thought of the UK scolding us stinks. It brings up this old #hegemonic imperialist dynamic
