Leaders are appointed by God and divinely anointed for His purpose. If leaders choose to follow their own way, according to global dictates and the influence of big money, they have essentially rejected God. You cannot be a friend of God and a friend of the world at the same time.
When the Prime Minister of Jamaica, Andrew Micheal Holness, a man of words and letters, chooses to follow the leading of other nations, unrighteous international agencies, and cultures, rejecting God’s written Word and declarations by divinely appointed prophets, he has positioned the nation to enter the broad highway that leads only to destruction.
The Prime Minister is well aware that the overwhelming majority of Jamaicans are firmly against the LBGTQI agenda, yet he has chosen to explore hate speech laws, which have been weaponised by globalists and used to shut down Christian voices against the reprobate behaviour. Whether or not you are aware, Mr. Prime Minister, you have now signalled to all and sundry that you are entering the fast lane to divine obliteration.
This legislative initiative, which is being contemplated, may be a part of the Prime Minister’s peace and productivity thrust, but it is also a major agenda item for both the United Nations and the European Union. Similar laws are enforced in the United States and Canada and have been the primary strategy engaged against the gospel of Jesus Christ in these countries.
While hate speech may be defined by the United Nations as any kind of communication in speech, writing, or behaviour that attacks or uses discriminatory language with reference to a person or a group on the basis of who they are, their religion, ethnicity, nationality, race, colour, descent, gender or other identity factor, it has largely been used to silence the church.
The deceiver wants the world to believe his litany of lies. So, the removal of opposing voices makes way for his arsenal of falsehoods. The silver bullet among them is the notion that men can be women and women can be men. Opposers of this deception are labelled as purveyors of hate.
In Canada, Bill Whatcott was charged with promoting hate after he distributed flyers in Regina and Saskatoon in 2001 and 2002 that condemned gay sex as immoral.
He was found guilty by the Saskatchewan Human Rights Tribunal in 2005, but that decision was later appealed and overturned in 2010. This ruling was also appealed, and recently overturned.
In Ireland, the government is pushing an anti-hate speech law that could affect even social media posts or a memes on your private cell phone. The bill is targeting any “offense of preparing or possessing material likely to incite violence or hatred against persons on account of their protected characteristics.”
The use of hate speech laws is a ploy from the pit of hell where the enemy has become manifestly desperate to destroy what is left of nations.
Prime Minister Holness, while addressing a virtual diaspora conference in Washington DC last week, calcified the path that this government seemed to have been secretly pursuing. A series of incidents in recent times which were readily interpreted as ‘offensive and threatening language against the Prime Minister’ point to this curious path long under contemplation.
These incidents spurred the security forces into decisive action to ostracise and publicly humiliate ordinary folk who expressed strong sentiments against the Prime Minister.
In 2021 the St. Ann police arrested a pastor who was seen on video disputing the measures imposed on churches as part of the Andrew Holness administration’s efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 on the island. Pastor Peter Chamber’s prophecies against the direction of the government were seen as disrespectful to the prime minister, and beyond that, predicted his demise.
The video showed the pastor stating, “The PM has to go down. This man is attacking the church, opposing the church and I don’t care what nobody has to say ’cause me no ‘fraid a none a unuh.”
The truth is, if the Prime Minister were reading the Scriptures himself, he would have arrived at the very same conclusion as Pastor Chambers did, since the wages of sin is still death.
Pastor Chamber was detained after an early morning raid by C-TOC at his home in Brown’s Town. He was eventually released.
In another incident, Shaquille Higgins, who was also seen in a viral social media video using disrespectful language about the Prime Minister, was arrested and later released from police custody, without charge after being questioned in connection to larceny in St. Ann.
The St. Ann police located Higgins after the video went viral and taped him getting dressed during his arrest. He was also prompted by a sergeant of police, to apologise to the Prime Minister for his comments in the video.
While these incidents were not formally registered as hate speech and there was no law to support the detention of the men on these grounds, the recent disclosure by the Prime Minister would suggest that he has been seething over these brutal criticisms for more than two years.
Those who supported the arrests of the men cited the incidents as reckless, abusive, or threatening language against the Prime Minister. Based on the United Nations definition of hate speech these incidents would properly qualify and charges would have been laid.
While disrespect of any person, regardless of class, rank or status must not be encouraged, when the ordinary folk openly criticise those in leadership, it can hardly amount to a threat. Their words may surely bruise some egos, mutilate fading self-confidence, and trample on low self-esteem, but these outbursts are certainly not an engagement among equals.
Nevertheless, if the Prime Minister is determined to take the forbidden path of hate speech laws to protect himself from crude criticism by the masses and verbal abuse by his opponents, he must begin with the man in the mirror. The deadly moniker – Brogad which he has adopted is not only abusive speech; it is fully-dunce and a symbol crudeness, indecency, hate and brutal criminality. This moniker emerged in the last decade as a title for criminal donmanship from the heart of gangland. With this moniker, the Prime Minister signals to the nation’s youth especially, that he embraces and celebrates gangsterism and criminality.
The Prime Minister has full access to all the information in the public domain and beyond. That he is considering hate speech laws would suggest that more is at stake internationally than what meets the eye locally.
More than likely, there is money in the mix. The European Union has been throwing millions behind its mission to impose oppressive rules against nations it brands as homophobic. The EU has made it clear that its funds must provide support for programmes promoting tolerance, if not total acceptance, of the reprobate lifestyle and its offshoots.
This body has even targeted churches to carry out this mission under the guise of breaking the back of gender discrimination and supporting reproductive rights initiatives.
The church in Jamaica must wake up from its slumber and step out of its lukewarm posture. We may have kept silent when Pastor Chambers was arrested, but now is not the time for repose. If we will only find our voices when they turn up at our doors with warrants and handcuffs, it will be woefully too late.
