Maxwell's House: June 2006 ::: John Maxwell ::: Jamaican Journalist & Columnist
http://johnmaxwellshouse-2006.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
And Swallowing a Whale. The whale-killers have a new heroine. She is a a pretty, petite lawyer, Joanne Massiah, a senator in the Antigua Parliament who possesses a sharp mind and an even sharper tongue. They were roused to particular fury when the black delegate from Martinique, Mme Grandmaison, announced that Martinique and Guadeloupe, part of France, would establish a whale sanctuary in their exclusive economic zones, bordering on several Eastern Caribbean nations. The problem was that the like-minded ...
Maxwell's House: April 2006 ::: John Maxwell ::: Jamaican Journalist & Columnist
http://johnmaxwellshouse-2006.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Eight months ago when Cindy Sheehan put George Bush into check in Crawford, Texas, the US public generally were about equally divided on the performance and virtues of the American president. They had been that way for several months before the great non-confrontation. Whatever people said about his lying, his capacity for self-deception, his oilman separation from the ordinary folks, his bad manners broke a last connecting link between him and people who wanted to believe in his essential goodness and s...
Maxwell's House: From the Frying Pan into the Red Mud ::: John Maxwell ::: Jamaican Journalist & Columnist
http://johnmaxwellshouse-2006.blogspot.com/2006/11/from-frying-pan-into-red-mud_26.html
From the Frying Pan into the Red Mud. We are all Maroons now, whether we know it or not, wherever we are on the face of the Earth, whoever we are, black, white or in-between, male or female, human, as long as we are alive, animal or vegetable, on land or in the sea or the air, our very existence is under attack. If we want to survive we have to take action. We need to resist the destruction of our own and our planet's integrity, resist degradation and deformity and protect ourselves from extinction.

Tsunami in the Desert. Gaza Strip, Israel - Palestinian Hamas supporters chant slogans during a rally celebrating the group's victory in parliamentary elections, in the Khan Younis Refugee Camp, southern Gaza Strip on Friday, January 27, 2006. Hamas leaders have hinted that despite their hardline ideology, they will be pragmatic and not disrupt daily life in the territories they are about to rule. (Photo: AP). What, exactly, was their alternative? The Israeli Defence Forces deliberately targeted the PA a...
Maxwell's House: The Land of Look Behind ::: John Maxwell ::: Jamaican Journalist & Columnist
http://johnmaxwellshouse-2006.blogspot.com/2006/10/land-of-look-behind.html
The Land of Look Behind. There are some places which should be left untouched, some wild places, some serene and tranquil places, some mountains, some forests, some lakes, woods, some ruins. In the Treaty of Rio Agenda 21. One such place is the Cockpit Country, or more poetically, The Land of Look Behind. The story. Is that when the British were trying to subdue the Maroons their soldiers were mounted two to a mule, one facing forward, the other riding shotgun as they used to say in the Wild West. It is ...

Maxwell's House: Shame and Scandal ::: John Maxwell ::: Jamaican Journalist & Columnist
http://johnmaxwellshouse-2002.blogspot.com/2002/05/shame-and-scandal.html

Maxwell's House: Beset by Eddie Seaga, Betrayed by Mutty Perkins ::: John Maxwell ::: Jamaican Journalist & Columnist
http://johnmaxwellshouse.blogspot.com/2004/04/beset-by-eddie-seaga-betrayed-by-mutty.html
Beset by Eddie Seaga, Betrayed by Mutty Perkins. DESMOND ALLEN Interviews John Maxwell. When the PNP won the 1959 general elections by a landslide, Maxwell felt that his own analysis had held true over Seaga's. "He has never forgiven me for those two articles," Maxwell firmly believes. But this was child's play, compared with what was to come 13 years later when he would face an unconquerable Seaga in a bruising electoral battle for the fearsome West Kingston constituency. The courage of Peter Abrahams.

Maxwell's House: An Approved Terrorist ::: John Maxwell ::: Jamaican Journalist & Columnist
http://johnmaxwellshouse-2002.blogspot.com/2002/03/approved-terrorist.html
AN American journalist, Jerry Mildon, says that the toughest challenge in defending the Central Intelligence Agency is that bad as its failures have been, its successes have often been worse. I was reminded of that by the killing last week of Jonas Savimbi, for 26 years, America's Man In Angola. Between those two, Mobutu and Savimbi, the cause of African unity and development was almost, but not entirely, derailed. Jonas Savimbi was the grandson of a chief of the Ovimbundo, the largest nation in Angola, ...

Maxwell's House: The Battle of Hope Gardens ::: John Maxwell ::: Jamaican Journalist & Columnist
http://johnmaxwellshouse-1999.blogspot.com/2006/02/battle-of-hope-gardens.html
The Battle of Hope Gardens. Hope Gardens is a very desirable address. Perhaps, after King’s House, Jamaica House and Vale Royal, it must be the most desirable address in all Jamaica. It has been so desirable that for many years, government departments have muscled their way into the gardens, simply by redefining Hope Gardens to their own purposes. They have redefined the gardens to a small sliver of land of about 30 acres - half the size it was in the seventies and a fraction of its true extent. Fast for...

Maxwell's House: September 2005 ::: John Maxwell ::: Jamaican Journalist & Columnist
http://johnmaxwellshouse-2005.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Many, many years ago, when I was a teenager at high school, the local cinema mogul would once or twice a term lend the school a projector and a feature film which had been shown everywhere else. This time the projector worked but the sound didn't. The film was "Whispering Smith", a western epic, starring Alan ladd, then at the height of his stardom, a tough, no-nonsense cowboy. I began to laugh and my fellows, to whom Alan Ladd was a genuine hero, looked at me quizzically. The Cubans do it better. In the...

Maxwell's House: March 2004 ::: John Maxwell ::: Jamaican Journalist & Columnist
http://johnmaxwellshouse-2004.blogspot.com/2004_03_01_archive.html
Our Debt is Long Past Due. The Caribbean has now proven that it is even more hopeless at diplomacy than it is at cricket. And, as in cricket, those who are considered guilty are not those at the top but the foot-soldiers. Our gutless leaders - unable to look a principle in the face - are, as I write on Friday, busy selling the Haitian people down the river. . .again. Condoleezza Rice has apparently threatened Jamaica directly, telling Patterson to get rid of Aristide or face unspecified consequences.

Maxwell's House: December 2004 ::: John Maxwell ::: Jamaican Journalist & Columnist
http://johnmaxwellshouse-2004.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_archive.html
At least one of my readers is under the misapprehension that last week I was praising the Government's human rights record. I was doing no such thing. When I reported Mr Nicholson's claims it was because I thought that most of us would have been vividly aware of the truth: when it comes to human rights, this Government is nowhere to be found. While Mr Nicholson boldly spoke about the Government's adherence to the Protocol on Fundamental Rights and Freedoms (part of the Universal Declaration of Human Righ...

Maxwell's House ::: John Maxwell ::: Jamaican Journalist & Columnist
In Whom We Trust. AS you might imagine, I receive a daily flood of e-mail and, as is now usual, much of it is the detritus of the consumer society, the endless solicitations to improve my virility, 'interact' with wild, wild, women, accept a percentage for lending my bank account for temporarily parking millions stolen from poor people all over the world. I have learned to take them in my stride, although I did get an apology from one Israeli website, which had been used to attack my computer. I have...

The Divine Right of Certain 'Ginnigogs'. About 35 years ago, having returned to Jamaica after my five-year exile in Britain, I was struck by a particularly poignant story. It had happened on the other side of the block of buildings where I used to work for the BBC, at India House, in Holborn behind Bush House in the Strand. Immediately after having been acquitted of murder in the Kingston Circuit Court on Tuesday, Senior Superintendent of Police Mr Reneto deCordova (etc) Adams delivered himself of a few ...

Laughing Water and the Uglificators. Uglification is an ugly word, and uglificator is even uglier, which is why I just invented it, to describe those who would destroy the Cockpit Country for a couple of hundred million American dollars. Today, at the head of what used to be the cataract, you can still gather watercress, but I wouldn't do that now. E Coli pollution from unplanned human settlements make it a little too dangerous. The Jamaica Public Service Company destroyed the Maggoty Falls to eke out an...
