A United Caribbean Global Approach

One Caribbean Nation. by William Skinner  There is nothing in these global movements that we should take for granted without first making it abundantly clear that we will not become satellites of any . We are remaining standfast that imperialism is not the preserve of any one global entity. Here and there we get a few crumbs from the table but there is nothing globally that presents the Caribbean as a global player and this is because, as others have stated , the simple fact, that we have failed to make the transition, from how we see ourselves culturally and intellectually. In order to correct and overcome our current weaknesses we need new vibrant leadership at all levels. We must avoid becoming  mentally distracted because the transition to true and sustained statehood, is taking longer than we hoped.         Once we get rid of petty leadership and present a radical united front to these emerging economic/trade groups, we would avoid further exploitati...

Perfect squares, perfect babies, and perfect gains

One Caribbean Nation. 2025: Perfect squares, perfect babies, and perfect gains By Professor C. Justin Robinson Ah, 2025—where mathematics meets Wall Street, and Generation Beta makes its debut. For us here in the Caribbean, it's another year to soak up the sun, tackle life's challenges with a smile, and sip on coconut water—or rum, depending on your mood. But what makes 2025 stand out? Grab your patties, your calculators, and your Wi-Fi connection; this year is no ordinary ride. A Mathematically Perfect Year First things first: 2025 is a perfect square year, 2025 is the square of an integer, the number 45. It's a rarity in the calendar, the kind of mathematical symmetry that gets nerds everywhere a little giddy. The last time this happened was 1936 (44 squared), back when the world was a very different place. If you missed that one, no worries—we all did. And unless you're planning to upload your consciousness into the cloud, you likely won't be around for the per...

Forget begging rich nations : Caribbean countries should act to save themselves

One Caribbean Nation . Forget begging rich nations: Caribbean countries should act to save themselves It has long been evident that the world's richest nations, especially those responsible for the lion's share of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, care little about the existential threats faced by small states. For the Caribbean, the time for pleading has passed. Collective action must define the region's response to the climate crisis. Caribbean leaders in all sectors - government, business, and worker representatives - should pay close attention to a rare display of frankness on this urgent matter by Angela Merkel, the respected former Chancellor of Germany. In her memoir, Freedom, she presents a sobering assessment of global failure on climate action. She admits that the measures taken to combat climate change by GHG-emitting countries are "not good enough to save the world". Worse, she confesses that the problem has been known for years and yet has failed to i...
