      <description><![CDATA[I have to agree with Frankster when he says you are obviously unaware of a lot of things. 

Firstly, the JDF engineers were in Haiti within 24 hours of the earthquake, and as small as their contingent was, they made contributions in saving lives. Secondly, even the Republic of the Congo which is in more need of aid than Haiti, has offered Haiti its &quot;widow's mite&quot;.

To most rich countries, Haiti is something of a serious embarrassment that can no longer be ignored, even though a severe famine there resulting in people eating mud-cakes, was ignored for a very long time. Still, one has to be grateful for small mercies, and in a time like this Haiti is in no position to argue.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[http://sundaystandard.info/news/news_item.php?NewsID=6788&amp;GroupID=5Haiti and the blacks!

by Loose Canon
24.01.2010 4:23:39 P 
I hope black people will learn a lesson from the earthquake that hit Haiti. 
If they don’t learn anything from it, then I throw up my hands in despair and give up. 

Let’s start with a few basic facts. 
Until the earthquake, I never knew there was a place called Haiti. I was taught geography at school but I cannot remember a time when the mistress told us about Haiti. It must have been one of those insignificant countries that we had no reason to know about. 

I was fairly good at geography because I knew which country was on which continent. I also knew many capital cities. But as for Haiti I was clueless. 

Now the whole world, including myself, knows about Haiti. I heard news of the earthquake on the radio. I wondered where Haiti was and what sort of people lived there. 

Finally, when I switched on the television, I was informed that Haiti is an island out in the Caribbean. Television pictures revealed a place populated by black people. 

From the non-stop television coverage of the earthquake, I got to learn about the history of Haiti. It was not a good history lesson. It would seem throughout its existence Haiti has suffered a series of natural calamities. In the process it has sunk even deeper into poverty and deprivation. 

Like all places populated by black people, Haiti is poor. As I watched the television images, I felt very sorry for that forsaken place. Then I was hit by a thunderbolt. 
I wondered what if there were no white people. You see, when the earthquake hit Haiti somebody had to come to its assistance. There had to be a rescue effort. The Haitians who survived of course did their fair bit by digging out their families from the collapsed ramshackle buildings. 

But such was the scale of the devastation and the loss of human life that a bigger effort was needed. For that sort of work, you need heavy lifting gear and other sophisticated rescue equipment. I have been following the story of the earthquake keenly. I can attest to the fact that the first people to arrive with sniffer dogs were white crews from all over the world. 

The aero planes that set off carrying water and food were from white countries. Not only that, the teams of volunteer doctors that I saw on television comprised white people from across the world. As the sniffer dogs went into action, the organized rescue teams that carried the stretchers were made up of white people. 

It was announced that a mobile hospital was on the way. It was coming from a white country. For all intents and purposes in the aftermath of the earthquake, Haiti was literally swarming with white people. They had all arrived to save the poor blacks. And the locals were so happy to see them. Granted there were teams from the Orient such as the Chinese and Japanese. They too had quickly left their homes and families to go and assist the stricken people of Haiti.
It is obvious to everyone that this was a devastating earthquake and the work to repair Haiti and return it to a modicum of normalcy will take many years. Somebody had to commit funds to this effort. Most of the countries that have committed funds to aid the recovery are white. In fact, it would seem the whites are running the show in Haiti. 

What is my point? 

My point is that ever since Haiti was hit by the earthquake I have not seen any of my folks from Africa. Unless the television cameras deliberately ignored them, I never saw a rescue team from my motherland. Nor did I see any sniffer dogs from down here. 
Heck, I never saw a single traditional doctor busy divining where to find people buried under the rubble. 

Haiti is a land of black people. I would have expected the place to be swarming with black people helping their own. They were nowhere to be seen. I never saw any ships from black countries pulling into the harbour. 

As the air traffic circled above the small airport, none of the planes was reported as coming from Africa. The blacks were nowhere to be found. They issued tepid statements of condolence to the people of Haiti and a few of the African countries donated small amounts of cash. 

Granted that was better than nothing. But I must say I was disappointed. I was sad because the blacks did not behave as I had expected. You see, for far too long black countries have been insolent to the point of being abusive. They have a tendency of insulting the white man and telling him to keep out of their countries. In Fact, black people have the temerity to tell white people they can perfectly survive on their own. 
So I had expected the black countries to be consistent and behave true to form. Why didn’t black countries tell white countries to stay away from Haiti because we were quite capable of leading the rescue effort? We should have insulted them as we often do at international forums.

There, our countries insult white countries and accuse them of imperialism and neo colonialism. I was extremely disappointed when our countries failed to accuse white people of practicing imperialism and neo colonialism by coming to rescue the blacks of Haiti. 


We should have told them we have better sniffer dogs that have been taught only to rescue black people. We should have told their ships to stay away and their planes not to overfly Haiti because we were up to the job with our own ships and aeroplanes. 

We should have brought in our traditional food instead of the strange rations the Haitians are not accustomed to. 

I am so disappointed by the black leaders that I hope never to hear them again bleating about how bad white people are. The earthquake in Haiti was the most opportune time to show the whites, once and for all, that we don’t need them. 

From now onwards, I want black leaders to shut up and never accuse ever white people of being bad. I am sick and tired of big words such as imperialism and neo colonialism which are unable to rescue victims of the earthquake. 

I hope this is not the last earthquake that hits a black country. I want the next one to specifically hit the residence of Old Man in Harare. Then we will see if he will abuse the white crew coming to rescue him and Pretty Face!

Sorry Haiti!
by Loose Canon
31.01.2010 8:33:04 P 
In this part of the world we say people like things. 

We use this phrase to describe those who think they are better than others. 
The know-it-alls who think for everybody and want to tell us what to do. 

People who like things are those who will shout from roof tops when they think it will give them some prominence. 

Ever since we were children I have encountered people who like things. In my grown up years they are still around. They never miss the opportunity to be seen and heard. 

Well, people who like things are back in vogue again. This time they are showing their true colours because of the calamity that occurred in Haiti. 
They are on the radio and newspapers. They are even on television. They are telling us to come to the aid of Haiti. They are asking us to donate clothing and money to assist the people of that poor little island. 

They are telling us why it is important to give our last cents and items of clothing to the Haitians. The way they go about it, it’s as if one is guilty if they do not give something to the Haiti aid effort. 

The people who like things are so skilful at their game that they make you feel ashamed that you have not made a contribution. I am now getting sick and tired of this blatant extortion. 

I can hardly listen to my favourite radio station without some one telling me to think about the victims of Haiti. I feel pity for those who go to church. 

I guess every day they are admonished and told to pray for the people of Haiti. There is a mistaken belief in the minds of those who like things that we should all feel sorry for Haitians and therefore give up our last cents and old clothing to them. 

We are made to feel sad that the people of Haiti are in so much trouble. We are driven to guilt because their dwellings have collapsed and they are hungry and thirsty. 
In fact, the people who like things are not only terrorizing me, but they are out in force the world over, talking about Haiti. It cannot go on like this. We cannot be bullied into feeling sorry for Haiti. Don’t get me wrong. It is always sad when someone dies. It is a source of great grief when people die in large numbers. 
Like all other animals, human beings feel the death of their species. That is a natural feeling. 

That said, some of us should be left alone. I have absolutely no intention of helping the people of Haiti. Feeling sad for then should be enough. 

You see, besides the fact that we belong to the same human species and we are of the black race, I have little in common with them. For starters they are not my relatives. I do not know those people. Those not killed by the earthquake don’t know me either. So why should I be helping complete strangers whom I have never met. I do not recall any time when I went around to a place in my neighbourhood and gave the poor people who live there some money or clothing. 

Like the people of Haiti, my neighbours are human and black. I have never done that. As a result I do not see why I should open my wallet to the survivors in Haiti. 
Let’s face it, I live a relatively comfortable life. At least, I have a job and can afford three square meals a day. I am not rich by any means. Being a man of modest means, why should I go out of my way to give my last cents to people in a faraway part of the world? In my country, there are lots of poor people. They are lucky to get a meal. They go around barefoot and dressed in rags. I see them everyday. They do not have shelter. The poor people of this country have nothing and are just like the people of Haiti. 

If anyone wants me to lend a helping hand to the poor, why can’t we start at home. The poor of this country would be astounded were they to hear that we are giving money to Haiti. 

If they were not so hungry and miserable they would ask us; if they are so poor they are invisible because it is apparent we can’t see them. 

At least some of the earthquake victims used to lead a good life. Some of our poor folks have never enjoyed the good life. They have been poor right from the beginning. Until I help the local poor, I have no inclination whatsoever to come to the assistance of Haiti. It does not stop there. 

In a country where lots of people are poor, some of them are liable to be my relatives. Indeed, I have plenty of poverty stricken relatives. They can hardly make ends meet. For them Haiti is a daily occurrence. They are hungry, homeless and barefoot. No one has arrived to give them bottled water and nutritious food in fancy little packages. 

Rich families in Europe and America have not bothered to come and take up their kids for adoption. They will never get a helicopter ride or appear on television. Before those who like things harass us and tell us about Haiti, they must talk about my poor relatives and all the poverty stricken locals in our midst. 

I have a suspicion that if our local poor people were to see all the assistance given to Haiti, they would plead to be taken there. 

In spite of the earthquake, things seem to be looking up for many in Haiti. Perhaps those helping them have no poor relatives. In that case it is their right to help. Even if those giving assistance have poor relatives, it is still their right to deny their folks and give to others in a faraway part of the world. 

It is called liking things. 
As for me I don’t like things. That is why I won’t be helping the people of Haiti. Were I to make that mistake I would not be able to look my relatives in the eye. I am not cruel or insensitive. I am a realist. 

And if the people of Haiti resent my lack of generosity Haiti then too bad!]]></description>

That is true, but sadly that is a common picture the world over. We need to bear in mind that most of the contributions are coming from ordinary working class folks which goes to show that despite everything our hearts can still be moved to help our fellow humans. &quot;

JudgeDred says:
I noticed too Deelighted, that a lot of contributions are coming from the working class folks. Communities in Flankers, MoBay, Jamaica, and even the Republic of the Congo which is worse off than Haiti. It won't be long before people forget about the plight of Haiti, and leave them once again to starve, in a collapsed state.

As Frankster suggests western states have made the existence of Haiti a living hell. If were the Haitian government, I wouldn't have even started paying France that $20 billion debt, some time ago. The United Kingdom showed better judgement when they used their own treasury to pay-off plantation owners in the West Indies (must have been the many slave uprisings and the terrible cost that Britain was trying to get away from).]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I do believe that both old and new testaments (Hebrew and Greek scriptures) were penned under the same divine inspiration regardless of the period they were written. The contents of the old testament have been undisputedly backed up by secular history, with many of the prophetic words of the new testament slowly being revealed to those who chose to listen.]]></description>

Have you ever considered that the &quot;all scripture&quot; Paul is refering to here is what you and I know as the old testament only?, and does not apply to the new testament - as it did not exist then.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The irony of it all is that the help Haiti is getting now, should have been given to that country a long time ago. I am sure a lot of people are wondering how come it has taken this level of devastation to cause the world to look favorably at Haiti. There was mass hunger in Haiti a long time ago, with people eating mud pies, but no one ever noticed this tragedy, until now.

Anyway, it is never too late, and I am sure all the prayers for Haiti will be answered, and while we are at it, we could pray for Jamaica too, with all the extreme crime on the island.

I hope this website is able to come alive once again, in this year 2010. Blessings to all.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[It is truly heart wrenching to watch on the news. I dont doubt that our individual prayers will help these poor folks to get through it. The Haitians are truly resilient people which have seen them survive crisis after crisis. Look at that 84 y/o woman that they pulled out today after 10 days, these people are real fighters!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Haiti is really going through the wringer; devastating hurricanes, invasions and coups, dictatorships, famine. The list seems never-ending, I never knew any country could be so bad-lucky (to use Jamaican language before I forget it).

One would think that all that massive aid going to them would be a final answer to most of their problems, but no, now there is a problem delivering the aid to the people who most need it, while ensuring that it doesn't end-up in the hands of the corrupt.

I am almost afraid to ask, how much worse can such a bad situation get? Jamaica has problems which we sometimes think is unbearable, and unresolvable, but compared to Haiti we are mild....

It leads me to suggest what some may consider irrelevant, or illogical, but I think Haiti needs some prayer from a lot of people. I wont suggest fasting, as that would be a true insult to the hungry in that downtrodden country, so let's hope they 'eat, drink and be merry, because'...well let's leave it there...

Greetings to all, best wishes for a Happy New Year, and the prosperity it may bring.]]></description>

Jamaica has much promise, and the recent ability of the PNP to have paid off the IMF and not have any dealings with them for nearly 20yrs, was once thought impossible in some circles, is a major victory and its implications should not be overlooked.

[quote]Now Frankster, all this time I'm busting my chops looking for an answer that was in front of me. I was curious to find the answer to what you said: [/quote]
I warms me to know that you spent time and  effort in search of  the Truth


[quote]Mt 16:28 - 
Verily I say unto you, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. 

The answer I found was in the very next chapter: 

Mt 17:1 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high 
mountain by themselves... 
Mt 17:2 As they looked on, a change came over Jesus: His face was shining like the sun, and 
His clothes were dazzling white... 
Mt 17:3 Then the three disciples saw Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus. 
Mt 17:5 While he was talking, a shining cloud came over them, and a voice from the cloud said, 
&quot;This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased--listen to Him&quot; 

Jesus' was referring to His disciples in Mt 16:28. Jesus fulfilled His premonition in the following chapter.[/quote]
The transfiguration is Jesus fulfillment  of the traditions of the Law(Moses) and of  the Prophets(Elijah) -  The Christ
I was thinking that vs27 spells it out that he was speaking of the Judgment.
