Jamaica is in a mess and the Prime Minister’s affairs are also in a mess. Nobody cares about the people. It is all about feathering their nests, doing all manner of things and securing their best welfare, while the masses become more and more impoverished, but God is not asleep. The nation is under judgement and it will intensify. The judgement is coming in many different ways and it is coming from all different directions.
Jamaica has become a laughing stock. The Lord had said so prophetically. This is just the tip of the ice-berg, because remember, there are others who are being investigated by the Integrity Commission and those reports are going to be coming out very shortly. Prophetically, a number of them are ‘wetting their pants’ and those who don’t wear pants, are wetting their skirts, because they are thinking that if the one who thought that he sat at the pinnacle has been exposed as he has been exposed, they are thinking, what about us lesser mortals?
Recently, there was an incident with horses bolting in the Caymanas Estate area and it caused major disruptions and damage to a number of motor vehicles. The Lord said in the same way those horses bolted suddenly and caused disruption, there are some horses that are about to bolt from Jamaica. As the screws are being tightened and as the exposure continues, there are some horses that are about to bolt from Jamaica. They are going to bolt from Jamaica, with the view of escaping persecution and prosecution. The fancy word that is used is exile. As word gets to them about what is in the offering where they are concerned, they will bolt, and this will cause a constitutional crisis. There is also going to be a state funeral.
The merchants are now complaining that it is getting more and more difficult to get rice. Things are set to get worse, and so this is going to be one of the most challenging end of year we have seen in recent memory because there is a huge deficit in terms of storage. The store houses globally are being diminished and this is causing nations that would normally export food and other commodities to be hoarding, and prophetically, there are those in Jamaica who have stocks that are none perishable and are hoarding it. The Lord said that they are hoarding non-perishables, so the prices can continue to increase, so they can make a huge profit from it. Even though the store houses are being depleted, there is still more that can be done by the various players in the food supply chain, but they are holding back. The aim is to cause the prices to spike. We will be in major problems re food. The quality of rice that is now available is not of the highest standard. Those that are of the highest standard, the prices are very very high. There is also some tightening up on the availability of flour and the quality of flour. The famine is increasing in Jamaica.
As the major shipping lanes become more and more unsafe, because of the different wars that are being fought, those involved in warfare are attacking vessels that are travelling on open ocean carrying precious commodities, especially food and fuel. As a result, the various shipping companies have to be increasing insurance coverage and security costs and this is passed on to the consumers. Because of the increase in the distance that these ships have to travel, these containers remain at the ports before they are cleared. They also incur additional costs and all this is being passed onto the consumers. So there are many factors, which are playing into and influencing food prices and fuel prices. Fuel influences the price of everything, including telecommunications, travel, general commerce and even water.
We needed to have built seven large storage facilities, strategical across the island in all three counties. Pay attention to creative ways of storing certain items, which are usually in abundance, like the tomatoes, the papaya, the pumpkin, the otaheite apple, the mangoes, the avocados, breadfruit, jackfruits, banana, cabbage etc. The time will come when we are going to need it and we will not be able to procure same.
