In the finale of Lecture 6, we wrap up the reflections on Re-Imagining the Caribbean - Understanding the Caribbean – Beyond the Myths and Into the Margins:...We pick up from Point 33. DIASPORAS AND DISPLACEMENT• African Diaspora: peoples of African descent living outside Africa.• Caribbean Diaspora: particularly Caribbean people of African descent scattered across the globe.• These diasporas still carry the black position and face discrimination, suspicion, and containment.“They are aliens with sharp teeth—feared not for their failure but for their potential.”________________________________________4. DARK GHETTOES & INTERNALIZED MALADY• Kenneth Clark's “Dark Ghettos”:o Exist physically and psychologically.o Not just urban slums but socio-economic prisons.o Seen in Philly, Kingston, Port of Spain—spaces where people are victims of fear, guilt, and greed.o Structural conditions: overcrowding, poverty, crime.o Psychological toll: despair, self-hate, compensatory bravado.________________________________________5. POSTCOLONIALISM AND THE VEIL THAT LINGERS• Postcolonialism ≠ Post-colonyo It's not the end of colonization, but the lingering effects—economic, cultural, psychological.o Fanon: both white and Black are trapped—one in superiority, the other in inferiority.o The need for tabula rasa—to begin anew.• Revolutions and the Paradox of Independenceo Haiti and Cuba led true revolutions—but remained outside international community comfort zones.o Their struggle reflects the cost of radical freedom.________________________________________6. CENTER VS. PERIPHERY – WHOSE CULTURE MATTERS?• Homi Bhabha – “Location of Culture”:o The periphery: marginal voices, rejected traditions.o The center: dominant culture, normalized Eurocentric standards.• Rastas, Revivalists, African spirituality = periphery.• Skin lightening, accent training, rejection of roots = symptom of internalized colonialism.________________________________________HANDOUT: Tracing Caribbean History – Before Columbus• Challenge the narrative: Begin with victory, not defeat.• Explore:o Ivan Van Sertima – They Came Before Columbus.o Ancient African navigators, civilizations that predate European contact.________________________________________DISCUSSION & MEDIA:• Video Segment: Ivan Van Sertima• Handout Discussion: Follow timeline through slavery, indenture, resistance, revolution.This is Episode 6 of the Caribbean Thought Lecture Series Summer 2025 on The Neoliberal Round by Renaldo McKenzieRev.

Lecture 6 Part 2LECTURE OUTLINE: Reimagining the Caribbean — History, Identity & Invention1. Defining Key Terms & Unsettling MythsWhat is the Caribbean?What it is not:Not simply “a group of islands surrounded by the Caribbean Sea.”That colonial compass would erase Belize, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.The Caribbean is not just geography — it's history, identity, and ideology.A Construct, An Invention:Ian Meeks and Norman Girvan argue the Caribbean is an invention, molded by the European gaze since 1492.The so-called “discovery” was really colonial construction — cultural erasure dressed as exploration.The Socio-Political Caribbean:Social scientists ask: In whose interest is society designed?Whose narrative dominates?Often, the Caribbean's story has been told through the lens of its colonizers — not its people.Economic Caribbean – A Dependent Capitalist Model:According to Neoliberalism (2021) and the "Washington Consensus", Caribbean economies were shaped to serve external interests.Ramesh Ramsaran: Structural Adjustment transferred power from local to global hands — a feature of life in the Global South.These are the legacies of debt, austerity, and manufactured dependency.Global South vs Global North:New language, same old hierarchies.The “Global South” replaces “Third World” — a more palatable term, but still denotes marginalization.2. A People in Paradox: Race, Identity & AgencyThe Problem of the Caribbean is the Problem of the Black and Brown PositionWherever Black or Brown bodies are found — so too is systemic exclusion.Not due to essence, but to constructed inferiority.Colonization as Psychological Violence:Fanon: Colonization turns man against himself.Du Bois: The Black soul peers through a veil, always asking: “Am I enough?”Morrison: We are told to strive toward whiteness — only to find we can never truly arrive.Depersonalization & Loss of Agency:Colonialism stripped humanity. The enslaved weren't just shackled in body — but in being.This leads to malady: acting against our own interests.Afrocentricity vs Eurocentricity:Afrocentricity: a way of seeing.Eurocentricity: the only way of seeing.The former offers liberation. The latter demands assimilation.Diaspora Realities:Caribbean immigrants are often seen as threats cloaked in exoticism — "two sharp teeth," as you wrote.Their potential is feared, their labor exploited.Kenneth Clark's “Dark Ghettoes”:Ghettoes aren't just places — they are conditions.Whether in Philly or Kingston, Harlem or Port of Spain, these spaces reflect economic colonization.Externally: Poor housing, crime, disease.Internally: Apathy, self-loathing, compensatory bravado.3. Postcolonialism – Not the End, But the EchoPostcolonial ≠ Post-ColonizationFanon in Black Skin, White Masks: Black and White locked in a tragic performance — each role scripted by Empire.In Wretched of the Earth: Freedom is radical; it requires rupture, not reform.The Paradox of Independence:Haiti and Cuba led revolutions — and were punished for their audacity.Independence does not equal inclusion.4. Center vs Periphery — Who Gets to Speak?Homi Bhabha's Lens:The center is the mainstream — the dominant culture, the "norm."The periphery is where African spirituality, literature, and lifeways have been cast.In the Caribbean, this leads to self-scorn: bleaching skin, abandoning roots, ridiculing Revivalists or Rastafari.5. Supplementary Content for Today's SessionReading & Discussion: CLR James – The Black JacobinsCLR James (a Trini) told the story of Haitian revolutionaries, but through a European framework.His education gave him tools, but not always the right lens.We question: Was this truly “history from below?”By Rev.

Is cryptocurrency the future of finance—or the funeral dirge of the U.S. economy?In this explosive episode of The Neoliberal Round, Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie delivers a fiery indictment of the growing crypto craze and the danger it poses to America's most powerful asset: the U.S. dollar. From Donald Trump Jr.'s praise of crypto to the silent shift of BRIC nations away from the dollar, this episode exposes the slow unraveling of economic supremacy in the name of digital freedom.

Let me ask you — are the protesters in LA standing on the right side of history? It's not a rhetorical question. It's one we need to wrestle with[Segment 1: The Conversation Begins]Recently, I sat down with a guest — an African American American, if you will — to get his take on what's happening in California. His first response?" Nothing." That was it. Nothing. But silence — as I've come to understand — is rarely ever just apathy. Sometimes it's exhaustion. Sometimes it's reflection. Sometimes it's survival. So I asked again: “Do you think the ICE agents are terrorizing people in LA?” His response was telling. “They're doing what they're supposed to be doing,” he said. But when I pressed him on whether they should be doing it — whether it's moral or justified — the lines got blurrier.[Segment 2: ICE, Trump & the Protesters][Segment 3: Words Matter]Let's talk about language. Protesters say they're being “terrorized.” Officials say it's “law enforcement.” Who's right?[Segment 4: So I ask again: Will history look back on these LA protesters as troublemakers… or as truth-tellers?[Conclusion: Right Side of History?][Outro

Yesterday, something eerie happened. When AI Gets Creepy: A Personal Account of Phantom Copying and Digital Disturbance By Renaldo C. McKenzie | The Neoliberal Post renaldocmckenzie.com.I was working with my AI assistant, the ever-faithful digital companion I rely on for everything from research to editing, when I noticed something strange—unnerving, even. I hadn't copied any text, yet my words were being highlighted and duplicated without my instruction. After I typed a request, the screen turned stark white, as if buffering reality. Then, nearly half a minute later, the AI's results appeared—only to flash and highlight themselves, as though someone else was remotely copying them. It felt like someone—or something—was watching. Not reading—replicating. Not responding—rewriting my own commands in real time. My first thought? Had the AI been hacked? Was this the digital equivalent of a haunted house? The Ghost in the Machine: What I Feared Initially, I assumed it was just a glitch. Maybe a slow internet connection, maybe some lag in rendering the results. But when the text consistently highlighted itself, again and again, without input, I knew this was something different. It was as if an invisible hand hovered over my keyboard, following every keystroke, mimicking every move. Had AI systems recently come under attack? Had someone found a way to infiltrate the very tools we've come to trust so intimately with our information? I began to worry: Was someone spying through the AI interface? Could this be a case of prompt injection or malware manipulation? Is the AI platform or browser I use compromised? These are not idle questions in our current digital age, where artificial intelligence is deeply woven into our productivity, creativity, and even our private thoughts. Known Vulnerabilities and Real Risks While no widespread AI cyberattacks were reported at the time of this writing, several vulnerabilities have been noted by security experts—most notably “prompt injection” attacks. These involve sneaky, hidden commands that trick AI into leaking or performing tasks unintended by the user. In tandem with that, clipboard managers, browser extensions, or even compromised input tools can behave strangely—duplicating, highlighting, or echoing actions without your consent. But how are we, everyday users and creators, supposed to tell the difference between a bug and a breach? What You Can Do to Protect Yourself If you're reading this and have noticed your AI behaving oddly—listen to that instinct. Here are a few simple yet vital steps you can take: Disable suspicious browser extensions – One bad actor can hijack your experience. Scan your device for malware or clipboard hijackers – Tools that track your copy/paste can lead to major breaches. Use trusted and updated platforms only – AI tools in beta or sketchy sites can be vectors for attacks. Report the behavior – Let the platform's support team know. You might not be the only one. Be cautious with sensitive data – Never enter private passwords, financial information, or client data into an AI platform without absolute trust in its security. Final Thoughts: Don't Dismiss the Glitch What began as a minor annoyance ended as a wake-up call. As we rely more on AI to do everything from writing to decision-making, the potential for digital vulnerabilities grows. This isn't to breed paranoia—but to encourage preparedness. Our digital assistants may seem neutral, obedient, almost invisible. But behind the screen is a web of code, vulnerable to bad actors, software errors, and unseen surveillance. Stay alert. Ask questions. Don't let the ghost in your machine go unchallenged. Because the future is watching—but so should we.

Larry Krasner was a special guest at a Fraternity meeting of the Philly Nu Sigma of Phi Beta Sigma. We happened to be at the meeting and provided this report for the The Neoliberal News media - The Neoliberal Post, The Neoliberal Journals and The Neoliberal Round. Larry discuss how his work has saved tax payers billions of dollars with the reduction of mass incarceration's thanks to the sentencing and supervision program. However Krasner stated that Supervision only works temporarily as the experience is that after three years they go back to jail. Krasner reports how he has also reduced that. Larry announces that this day in May we have fewer homicide today on this 14th day of the year than any other year in Philadelphia. 1. Lots of money into preventing crime and into solving crime, doing it at the same time - creates better results and it costs the country and the city less incarceration is an expensive activity and thanks to the work of the mayor and the security forces. 2. What about Bail Reform? Larry does not support zero base Bail reform. H explains why.Available in The Neoliberal Post: Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner recently addressed members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. at a dynamic community Q&A, answering the piercing question, “What have we done right?” His answer, armed with raw statistics and biting clarity, laid bare both the progress and persistent paradoxes of Philadelphia's criminal justice system.Krasner, a former civil rights attorney turned reformist DA, didn't mince words. “We've cut state custody numbers from 13,000 to 9,000,” he said. “County jail is down to 3,600, when it used to flirt with 10,000.” Juvenile confinement?

Down 70%.What does this mean in human terms? “Over 50,000 years of incarceration have been avoided,” Krasner declared. That's not hyperbole—it's the cumulative result of rolling back excessive sentencing and reining in outdated policies that once led the nation in imprisonment. And the savings? “At $60,000 a year per inmate,” he pointed out, “that's about three billion dollars we didn't waste on punishment. That's money that could fund education, addiction treatment, mental health care, and job creation.”Krasner reminded the audience that his office operates on a modest $50 million annual budget. “In seven years, that's $350 million,” he said, “which means we saved nearly ten times our cost.”But perhaps the most jaw-dropping revelation was about supervision—probation and parole. “We've reduced it by two-thirds,” he noted. “We used to have 1 in 9 Black men in Philadelphia under some form of court supervision—twenty-five times more than in New York City.” Why does that matter? “Because after two years, people on supervision are more likely to commit crimes—not less,” he explained. “And locking someone up because they couldn't pay court fees, or tested positive for THC, while judges sip brown liquor? That's not justice. That's absurd.” Yet even as incarceration rates plummet, crime is not rising—a key myth Krasner dismantled. “As of May 14, 2025, Philadelphia recorded fewer homicides than on any May 14 in the last 50 years. Of the 18 violent crime categories we track, 14 are down.”Donate to us: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=USSJLFU2HRVAQVisit us: https://theneoliberal.comThe Neoliberal Corporation is a Think Tank, Publishing, Digital News Media, IT, Research and Education company.

OBJECTION YOUR HONOR: was this whole case set up to wash DIDDY'S laundry in Public? So, far we see nothing about sex trafficking and racketeering. Just domestic violence and the freakiness of Diddy. Today they gonna talk more about "freakoffs" and "OnlyFans" stuff. OMG! What is the relevance? This trial is a sham and only serves to embarrass Diddy to the benefit of Diddy's enemies, competitors and the satisfaction of those who may have had some grind with him. So far the evidence and the narratives are irrelevant to the case. They should just stop already. This case is absolutely ridiculous.Host Renaldo McKenzie and Co-Host Donte Nelson discuss the latest on Diddly's Trial on Sex Trafficking and Racketeering and shared some clips from the discussions on ABC Live.

“I thought I was going to die and feared for my life”. Former GOP Presidential Candidate, John Castro experienced a chilling twist of fate. He found himself locked in a federal cell with Jeffrey McKellop, a Trump Supporter. McKellop is a January 6 rioter and former Green Beret from Virginia. Castro alleges that the intent behind this placement was far from accidental. According to him, there was a nefarious plan in motion: McKellop was to take him out. But what unfolded was not an assassination—it was an unlikely alliance.McKellop, captivated by Castro's story, found empathy where enmity was expected. The two formed a bond, one born in the crucible of confinement. Castro claims that McKellop was once a tool of political vengeance. He was moved by conscience. Donald Trump eventually pardoned him himself.But Castro's legal troubles didn't end behind bars.He asserts that he was blindsided during his trial—cornered into a conviction through manipulation and legal sleight-of-hand. One of the government's key witnesses, Linda Rivera, allegedly provided false testimony, manipulated by undisclosed forces. Even more disturbing, Castro claims that federal attorneys were aware of the deception and chose silence over justice.In a move to reclaim his narrative, Castro filed a motion on Monday May 12, 2025, to strike Rivera's testimony. This action forms the basis of his appeal as he seeks to overturn what he calls a wrongful conviction.In response to the unfolding legal drama, we have published a detailed Book and Op-Ed, to tell Castro's story. There is also a companion article chronicling Castro's full motion. It is available in The Neoliberal Journals (see link in reference below). It has been sent to be published in The Jamaica Gleaner and The Jacobin Magazine. It highlights his harrowing experiences and the questions it raises about the integrity of the justice system itself.This is not merely a legal battle—it is a political epic. And history, as it often does, is watching.Full Motion: https://theneoliberal.com/john-anthony-castro-files-motion-to-strike-it-was-rigged-from-the-start/Written ByRev. Renaldo C.

Mommy was a woman of deep prayer, unwavering faith, and extraordinary grace. She devoted countless hours to praying and interceding earnestly for her family, church, Jamaica, and the world. Her commitment to prayer was steadfast, as she believed in the biblical command to "pray without ceasing."She kept a prayer journal, where she noted her prayers and the answers she received. Her entries were often brief yet profound. Mommy prayed for protection, sweet dreams, and visions; for blessings and unity within her extended family, both in Jamaica and abroad; and for her relatives and in-laws, including Cecil.In 2004, she wrote in her journal about praying for all her children to fully turn to God, and she joyfully recorded, "My grandson Sheldon was baptized and is doing well." That same year, she fervently prayed for Sheryl Small's healing from cancer. In 2011, she noted with gratitude, "She's healed and still doing well."Mommy's life was defined by her devout Christian faith. Her prayers reflected her love for God and her unwavering trust in His promises. She was a beacon of faith, an intercessor for many, and a testament to the power of a life lived in communion with God.In Mommy's final moments, I was blessed to be with her. She had waited for me because she knew how much I regretted missing our dad's passing and how deeply I wanted to be there. On Saturday night, I arrived to find her unable to speak, a mask over her nose as she labored to breathe. She could only utter faint sounds, saying "hee."I began to sing, and Ricky joined me. Together, we sang Arise and Be Healed, pouring our hearts into the melody. Then, I prayed for several minutes. As I prayed, she began to cry and joined me in prayer. Speaking in tongues, I felt the Holy Spirit move, and suddenly, she removed the mask and began to speak in tongues herself. She waved her hands and, with remarkable clarity, said, "Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit."Those were her last words. She then went quiet, as though ready to give up the ghost. That night, I returned to her home—our family's childhood home—and slept in her bedroom. Around 4 a.m., she visited me in a dream. She came to say goodbye and to encourage me to be strong and of good health. When I woke, I knew she was gone.Mommy never gave up. Even at the very end, her faith remained unshaken. Her love for God and those she left behind shone brightly in her final moments. Her life was a testament to the power of faith and the enduring presence of God's spirit.B. The Power of Prayer and Self-ReflectionIt is my mother's life of prayer, faith, and self-reflection that has profoundly shaped my understanding of the transformative power of prayer and introspection.When we pray, let us pray without sitting; when we dream, let us dream without sleeping. Believe and have faith, but stay away from naysayers. Prayer sharpens our focus, helping us acknowledge our limitations while embracing God's favor and the limitless possibilities He offers. It connects us with the divine—beyond and within—and aligns us with the cosmos and the cognitive.The Bible reminds us, “Men ought always to pray and never faint.” My mother embodied this verse in her daily life, just as Daniel did when he prayed and overcame the lions' den. What is your den? Prayer has the power to change things.When we pray, let's be ready to act, to change, and to receive. Let's open our hearts and minds to His endless possibilities. Prayer not only transforms our circumstances but also shapes us into vessels ready to receive His blessings.My mother's life is a testament to this truth. Her prayers, faith, and self-reflection have not only shaped her journey but also continue to inspire mine.By Rev.

Ah, what a wondrous tapestry of tongue and time Rev. Renaldo C McKenzie has woven—Pope Leo XIV, a man of many lands and languages, stepping to the altar not just as pontiff, but as pilgrim. The First Homily of Pope Leo XIV: A Pilgrim's BenedictionIn the beginning, he spoke in English—clear, measured, familiar. Then, like a river bending toward its roots, he flowed into Spanish, the tongue of warmth and memory. Finally, he ascended into Latin, the timeless language of the Church, a signal not only of office, but of transformation.This triad of tongues was no accident. It was testimony.He shared not a speech, but a story. A journey. From the bustling corridors of America to the sacred hills of Peru, and now, to the eternal seat of Rome. Life, he said, is a journey—a series of sacred passages toward the ultimate. We must not curse the winding roads, for they are the hands that shape us.He reminded us: America, too, is on a journey. It is in a moment—yes, a painful, purifying moment—but it is not the end. As long as we walk in faith, with hearts devout and spirits unbowed, this path will lead us not to despair, but to deeper becoming.And so, the pope bids us not to abandon life, but to trust it.In closing, he left us with layered words—a coded blessing, perhaps. A call to see beneath the syllables. He casts no stone behind him; his past is not discarded, but embraced. For the man who stands before us is not divided, but united. Not American. Not Peruvian. Not simply one nation or name.He is transformed.He was of a country. Now, he is of all. He was a citizen. Now, he is a shepherd. He was. And now, he is—Pope Leo XIV.Written By Rev. Renaldo C.

The Penn Relays have officially begun at the University of Pennsylvania—my alma mater—and once again, the historic Franklin Field is alive with the spirit of one of the oldest and most prestigious track and field events in the Americas. Hosted annually by Penn Athletics, the Relays are more than just a sporting event—they are a cultural moment, especially for the Caribbean diaspora.You simply cannot mention the Penn Relays without mentioning Jamaica in the same breath. Jamaicans have long been dominant and enthusiastic participants, from high school standouts to collegiate champions. The relays serve as a proving ground for emerging talent and a showcase of track royalty.I remember one year when I had the privilege to volunteer at the games. It was a moment I'll never forget—I met the likes of Bill Cosby, the Hon. Portia Simpson Miller (Jamaica's first woman Prime Minister), and track legends such as Asafa Powell, Usain Bolt, and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. The electric atmosphere, the sound of cheering crowds, and the buzz around potential stars from across the U.S. and Caribbean left an indelible mark on me.Yet, something feels different this year. While the 2025 Penn Relays have kicked off with their usual modest energy, there's a noticeable lack of media coverage and buzz. Surprisingly, many locals in Philadelphia I spoke to either weren't aware the Penn Relays were happening or didn't know what the event was at all. This is a stark contrast to years past, when the city would buzz with anticipation and pride.Still, the Caribbean diaspora and college track athletes from around the country are already making their way to the city, bringing with them a growing excitement that's starting to creep in. Although mainstream media has yet to fully engage, the passion of the people remains. A quick keyword search or hashtag scroll for “Penn Relays 2025” yields only a handful of results—disappointing for such a historic event.We remain hopeful that as the week unfolds, coverage will swell and the attention this event deserves will return. In these turbulent and uncertain times, we need events like the Penn Relays. They offer catharsis and community—a moment to celebrate excellence, heritage, and unity.Between the NBA playoffs and the Penn Relays, there's a lot to look forward to this week. Stay tuned—The Neoliberal Round and our YouTube channel may bring you interviews, event highlights, and the heartbeat of the city and its athletes as the games progress.Until then,Renaldo C.

Question: Who won the trade war between between China and The USA? On this episode of The Neoliberal Round Podcast Podcast, Host Renaldo discusses Trump's reversal on Fed Chairman Powell, and the trade war with China. Renaldo also applauded the Trump's administration on their record on making the IRS efficient as under Trump the department has been the most efficient in disbursing tax refunds.

Jesus Said; "Father forgive them for they know not what they have done," (KJV, St. Luke 23:34). This Easter, we present a re-make of several videos we mashed together to present our Easter production. It is quite powerful and inspirational as we re-did a reflection by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie and included performances with him at Easter to present a dynamic show that will help to facilitate worship and reflection. May we remember the #sacrificeandlove #Christ demonstrated that has defined the #characterofGod; humility, sacrifice and compassion for all—especially for the poor and vulnerable that #God became low to lift them up. Is that what true leadership is?As we reflect on Easter, I mashed together various short videos to provide this dynamic Easter podcast production. As we serve the world today to solve tomorrow's challenges, making popular what was the monopoly, it is important that we provide programming that is part of the solution. As such we understand that conditioning the human conscience with content that considers inspirational matters by celebrating our faith experience may help to rescues humanity and the wonton secularism that pervades. Not that we are against liberalism and secularism, but we believe that the marriage is important to keep us from destroying ourselves. The message of the cross is powerful and may help to heal a broken society devolving into decadence and social decay. May we remember the story of Jesus and his crucifixion.I provide several performances beginning with a group performance at Old First Reformed Church in Philadelphia, "The Reason We Sing."Then the Reflections by Rev.

Here am I referring a young mentee to the college and when I checked, it's closed.Such a staple university focusing on the arts closed abruptly in June 2024 and filed bankruptcy in September 2024. The university closed because its leaders lacked the vision and the passion that would create innovative strategies to sustain the school.First of all no one knows about the school, that's why they suffered from low enrollment, and they were not profitable because they lack the Innovation to create new programs by working with the local niche communities and businesses in Northern liberties Philadelphia that were becoming the fashion and arts capital of the Eastcoast; with young professional New Yorkers moving to Old City and Northern Liberties.Now The Eagles are are dominant team and the Sixers are contemplating building a huge new stadium in Center city. The university could've taken advantage of these opportunities. Their prowess in the arts would have been ideal in helping to:1. develop the area utilizing the school's artists and professors and2. developing programs with the city and the stadium developers that serve to develop artists and designers who'd contribute to the stadium and the transformation of the city into the 21st century.Re-open the school @PhiladelphiaGovAnd return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US. We can't pay El Salvador 6 million dollars to hold him for us then say due to international policies we cannot interfere in El Salvador and if they want to release they should. We are paying them for God sake!

Holy Week Reflection by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie:1/Isn't it ironic, duplicitous and Pharisaical that our President Mr. Donald Trump expects compliance with executive orders… yet POTUS struggles to comply with court rulings and our Constitution?2/We can arrange prisoner swaps like Kseniya Karelina from Russia…But we can't bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador?3/Trump is not a Jew, but he moves like the Pharisees did in the #NewTestament.Jesus said:“Woe to you, scribes & Pharisees, hypocrites!”4/He condemned their hypocrisy, legalism, and failure to uphold justice, mercy & faithfulness.And that's exactly what we're witnessing in this “Neoliberal age”.5/These thoughts are the foundation of my upcoming book w/ Martin Oppenheimer:Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered: Unfair Competition & the Death of Nations.By Rev.

Show: The Neoliberal RoundEpisode Title: Crime or Crisis? The Attack on Gov. Shapiro and What It Really MeansHost: Renaldo McKenzieEpisode Length: ~11 - 12 minutes"You're listening to The Neoliberal Round. I'm your host, Renaldo McKenzie, and today I want to share a quick but important thought about the recent attack on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and his family at the Governor's Mansion.This was shocking, disturbing, and yes—deeply serious. But it also reveals much more than just a security breach or an isolated act of violence. It forces us to ask: Are we looking at a crime… or a crisis? And are we responding in a way that will prevent the next one?""The first thing we need to understand is this:What happened at the Governor's Mansion is not necessarily a sign that crime is out of control. It's a sign that mental health and opioid-related crises are being ignored, misdiagnosed, or underfunded.This wasn't just a 'madman.' This could have been someone in deep psychological distress—someone who, if properly supported, may never have ended up in that situation.""After incidents like this, we often see calls to crack down—more arrests, more surveillance, more punishment.But punishment is not prevention.We can't keep treating mental illness and addiction with police and prison. We need:More accessible community mental health servicesRobust substance use treatmentMobile crisis teams trained in de-escalationPolicies that deal with why this happened—not just what happened.""I also want to draw a parallel that might make some people uncomfortable: the January 6th Capitol attack.That was not just political extremism. That was psychological manipulation. That was mental instability, radicalized by fear, lies, and toxic leadership.And we have to start asking ourselves: Are the people leading these movements mentally fit themselves? What happens when unstable leaders weaponize unstable followers?Again, you can't jail your way out of that. You need public health solutions.""Let me be clear—I'm not saying people shouldn't be held accountable. But throwing someone with untreated schizophrenia or severe trauma into jail is not justice—it's just delay.And when that person spirals again, guess what? We're all still at risk.That's why we must invest in mental health infrastructure the same way we invest in roads, policing, or national defense.""Now, let's talk about something else this incident raises: How did this individual get close enough to a sitting Governor and his family to cause serious damage?That's not just a lapse—that's a massive security failure.We need to rethink how we protect elected officials, not just in public spaces but in their homes.Mental health crises don't pause at the gates of power. Our security systems need to account for that.""My point today is this: If we want to be safe, we have to get real about what safety means.It's not just cops and fences.It's compassion.It's care.It's crisis prevention.We need to stop punishing pain and start treating it. Because when we ignore mental illness and addiction, society pays the price—every time.""That's it for this episode of The Neoliberal Round.I'm Renaldo McKenzie—thanks for tuning in.Remember: the way we respond to crisis determines whether it happens again. Let's choose prevention over punishment, and policy over panic.Until next time, keep questioning, keep thinking, and keep it neoliberal—but compassionate."The Neoliberal Post via renaldocmckenzie.comSubscribe: https://anchor.fm/theneoliberalDonate: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=USSJLFU2HRVAQ

In this final lecture for Caribbean Thought (Semester 2, 2025), Professor Renaldo McKenzie, Author of #Neoliberalism, opens with a critical reflection on the phrase "Out of Many, One People"—questioning its continued privileging of European identity over African heritage.

The lecture continues with a review of key terms such as colonialism, postcolonialism, the Global South, and Afrocentricity, and closes with a provocative question: Should theology transcend culture?A powerful wrap-up to a transformative semester.Thank you for your support and for journeying with us this semester.Email us at info@theneoliberal.com or renaldo.mckenzie@jts.edu.jm or renaldocmckenzie@gmail.com.
