Lisa Hanna Advises Chronixx After His Controversial ‘Waste Man’ Statement (Video)
Popular reggae artiste Chronixx has put himself in a bit of hot water after he made a controversial statement on social media.
The Instagram post which has been removed coincided with the visit of US president Barack Obama to Jamaica and seemed to imply that the entertainer was referring to the POTUS as a ‘waste man’.
This is what Chronixx Posted:
“This man … Still have criminal record on the United States and we glorifying some waste man! This man was hunted and imprisoned by our Jamaican government … who some years later, paved a peaceful and safe path for the US president to address as a … “race of good for nothing’s”. That’s why black faces don’t mean anything to rasta anymore”
A few months ago Chronixx also seemingly ruffled the feathers of Culture Minister, Lisa Hanna with his use of the words ‘dumb government‘ in another social media post.
See what the Minister had to say about the artiste in this recent video produced by The Gleaner.
let us try and help this yute,dont beat him dowm, i think its the passion he has inside him for our national hero marcus garvey,am saying it is ok for him to say that but,talk to the yute show him the way we as older ones ok.
joke thing star
Chronixx, you are too brilliant for this my dear. I trust you will reconsider your approach, and allow the world to benefit fully from your talent without hindrance. A word to the wise.
Chronixx maybe did not use the best words, but he still speak truth. JA Gov. needs to grow a little backbone and stop bending over backwards for other governments that really do not serve the interest of the Jamaican people at large. Why is and did the JA Government suck up so much to President Obama? Make him feel welcome, of course, but why did you hurt so many Jamaican people in the process? It just shows once again that the Jamaican government is truly disconnected to the reality of life that many jamaicans face daily.
There is music that glorifies violence and most of the Gov. is silent about that, and has nothing to say directly to any of the artist.
NUFF Reggae and Rasta music speak about FYAH PON BABYLON. America is Babylon, and President Obama is the leader of the Government of America. Why are you trying to silence a movement and speech that come from a spiritual conviction for many?
Stop acting like the older child that is trying to impress the parent by blaming the younger children.
Nothing Nu Wrong Wid We Di Man Seh. Dem Still Have Marcus Garvey As A Criminal When A Him Pave The Way Fi A Black President. And Obama A Style Black People As “A Race Of Good For Nothings.” Him Nu Care Bout Black People Him A Sell Out, Who Don’t See Dat Blind. Chronixx Big Up Yu Self , Don’t Mek Dem Silence Yu Mi Boss. St888.
Dah Batta Airs Gall Ya Fi Stop Follow Up Di Man, Is Like She Have Up The Man Fi The Last Comment. Eadiot Gal Gwan Go Do Yu Job And Stop Follow Up Di Entertainer.
Look like the minister love the ras, because mi wah know she hot fi him soh, as Bob Marley say every man have to decide his own destiny, and wha mi a sey we as elders have to guide the youth of this nation, soh Chronixx just think before u talk, although the truth must be told

All a u Jamaicans are hypocrites .unuh quick fi sell out wat a intelligent youth like chronixx .where in chronixx statement he call obama name where but I think He’s smart just to show u the king of ppl Jamaicans are .check unuh self .its doesn’t matter if he do it wen Obama come a ja .controversy sells he’s a artise
Chronixx is a mad man
Chronixx makes much sence, as I assume he had already conciderd his thoughts befour conveying them. However I believe that chronixx has the point on how black people worship the ones who are in controled by the oppressors, in other words, we are worshipping the oppressors. The main idea has already been written,”obama a waste man”.
He needs some guidance because most times when these artiste start earning some good money it apparently get to them.Chronixx jus chill and take it easy
Chronix is a jackass…y in the world u want to go to a waste man’s country to make US dollas????…..another point was obama incharge of imprisoning marcus garvey???…was obama the one who placed him in shackles…?? U need to wake up cuz very soon we will see u boarding plane to the waste man’s country….but not if the US embassy read ur comment….better pray they dont c it….damn idiot…..is not everyting gud fi eat gud fi talk…plp say u r intelligent but an intelligent man has to be diplomatic in his response to anyting….u jus made a fool of urself…..
well i agree with the dumb government posts…lol
Lisa Henna advise is more damaging than Chronixx statement. No one remember old Marcus Garvey.
Chronixx has a right to say what he feels. Politicians should expect criticism from all, not everyone follows their politics. If the people in the spot light wether politicians or celebrities can’t take the heat get out of the kitchen, well done Chronixx for standing up for your country shame a few more Jamaicans don’t have the guts to do the same. At least Chronixx speaks about things that are true and is not there to impress anyone least of all the president of the USA.policiticians say far worse things about each other than anything Chronixx has said.
It’s not about being hypocritical, it’s about being intelligent enough to know what has it’s place, we are the same ones who preaches”lick ass until yo can kick it”. Sometimes you jus have to practice humility.
revoke him visa, the singer boy of course…send him back go sweep road…Marcus Garvey was a dam scammer and con man of course, like some of our politicians. i dont care bout a dead man…i live for the living. something is fundamentally wrong if we have to beg fi get im off.
Chronixx stop the waste argument and give the back them visa cuz you deh pon one really high horse. Try no drop off
Unu ppl stop condone him inna wrong doings. Chronixx is too intelligent to make such comment…kmt
Bet you say him haffi apologize. So gweh all who a back the waste comment
When your visa is denied to conto the states look back at what you said

Freedom of speech still carries exceptional power and its only unfortunate that because of worldly opportunities and a lack of backbone that every thoughts which expresses our true beliefs are suppress.Jah conquer all,love and power Chronixx you are protected by the most high.

chronixx shared is freedom of views and thoughts just u guys are we all have our rights to our own beliefs it is impossible for everyone to see eye to eye on things that doesn’t make another man thought an things wrong!! Same how some will think its OK to say what he said n some will think there’s something wrong with what he said
She is absolutely right. U never know where life will take u. U have to be careful about the things u say and post.
Everyone has the right to their opinion however certain things you should not ever say publicly I found his remarks very disrespectful and should apologise about it
Chronixx tell dem again nuh apologize to nobody dem all kissing up to U.S, U.S say anything bout Jamaica and we swallow it
He has the right say what he wants to say, freedom of speech. Why is people are all twisted out shape when someone speak what is on their mind. If there is consequences, let him deal with it.
Ok, what is a waste man, it seems that the phrase is used in more than one way?????
Well….them must know….not my prob
Chronixx a wa yuh a try prove? U too nuff easy u self. And go buy a comb
Can’t tell big man what to say chronixx must know he’s a grown man
When You Check The History You Will See That It Was The US Government Along With The NAACP Who Were The Ones That Sabotaged Marcus Garvey In The United States. His Charges Were Actually Set Up Charges. A Plot To Get Him Behind Bars And Eventually Deported Back To Jamaica. The Powers That Be At The Time Saw That The Man Had Much Influence In The Then Traumatized Black Community, Who Were Beginning To Wake Up In Their Masses To Giving Him Their Full Support And Protection.
After Marcus Was Deported The Government Of Jamaica At The Time Along With Our Beloved Gleaner, Conspired Against Him To Dismantle Any Chances He Had In Becoming Jamaica’s First Prime Minister, Through Propaganda Articles And Buying Out Of The Unsuspecting Jamaica Poor People Who Were His Supporter. So, When A Hypocritical Minister Of Government Who Is The Mere Offspring Of The Same Crabs That Dragged Down The Man Who Was Respected World Wide For His Great Courage And Activism For Black People (Us), Tries To Give Advice To A Young Man (Chronixx) Who Shares The Same Passion As The Honorable Marcus Garvey. This Become A Null And Void Attempt Because It Was Her Forefathers Who Committed The Great Act Of Treason In The First Place. The Man Was A Strong Black Man Who Loved His People, But Due To Colonial Mischief And Help From The House Slaves That Served Beneath Them, His Goal Of Liberating Poor Blacks Were Not Accomplished. Instead The Man Was Cast Aside, And These Said House Slaves Were Placed In The Power Of Authority We Now Call Government, Under The Leadership Of Two White Boys Who Were Actually Cousins, Bustermanty And Manley.
So Those Who Criticize And Heckle, By Repeating Popular But Incorrect Sentiments Of The Past, Not Knowing The History Of The Matter About The Great Marcus Garvey, Should Revisit The History And Not Speak Out Of Order. Because In Doing So You Are Crucifying The Man That Fought For Your Interest. You Did It To Christ. Yes! It Was You Same People. And Now As Before You Are Doing It To Marcus And Chronixx.
Look who is talking, Lisa whorehanna!! Clean up yuhself gal Lisa, who is obama?? let’s teach the youths of Marcus Garvey, who ones like Obama teach you to hide!!!
Andre Robinson, I leave school in 94 never have I had a Jamaica history subject, all these people believe in is bow down!!!
Telling us to shut up violating our freedom of speech,and if we dont they gonna stop the very food that we eat and you just sit by and let them dweet,the system nuh change a just so Peter Tosh did leff it , its a shytstem a same suh it tan
Miss Hanna with all these negative comments regarding your advice to Chronixx, I guess you are wasting your time. Youths don’t need guidance anymore. Young bird knows firestorm now. smh
Part of the reggae system is opposition of political corruption.
It is true that everyone is free to express his or herself. However, what I find disturbing is that most of our young people are very disrespectful. They have no regard for authority or the office of leadership. It may be true that our Government has issues, but we must be wise and respectful in voicing our displeasure. It may also be true that America has done some wrongs in the past but Obama is not responsible for those things. If we think something or someone is wrong, we are free to express that; but when we get into cursing leadership, we have treaded on dangerous grounds. Now if the Lord does not have mercy on Chronixx, this may just be the beginning of his downfall. One should never think that he can publicly disrespect people who have political influence and international power and expects to be endorsed by them. Talking the truth is one thing but disrespecting another in the process is another. Now regardless of all the supporters chronixx have locally and worldwide if his own government and the US government alone decides to sink him, no other country on the earth can make him rise again. Everybody knows that is true. If America declares him an enemy, most of the western world will follow suit; and that is where the money is. So Chronixx, I like your songs, but if this thing is causing a problem, please apologize and keep some of your thoughts and opinions private, even if you think what you are saying is true. And lastly, that guy who keeps talking about Marcus Garvey just know that Marcus Garvey is dead and let the past stay in the past.
Chronixx you have freedom of speech,you also have freedom of expression,however if you choose the John The Baptist route,you will have to give up commercialisation,and endorse isolation.Or be an hypocrite like most critics who are not prepare to pay the price for such bravery.My advice,mix diplomacy , truth in temperance,or welcome the wilderness where their is no limit to telling as you see fit.
Real rasta dat u cant blame d bomba chronixx a general
The truth hurt, so what. Lisa who are you, remember where you coming from. The man cant play hyprocrite, he simple has to spit out the truth, unlike the others, pretending.
The people are blind,the visit of Obama isn’t something to get excited bout.
Don’t think he’s madmad,just never say it the correct way
Chronixx, I see you did not educate youself.That is why you made such careless statements. I will not condem you, but will urge you to increase your knowledge before you make certain “Talk” .
Chronixx do u them woman need jah..don’t let them get u down a the devil send them
WE MUST NOOO LONGER BE FREE AND (DUMB) DOM
First ammendmrnt people. Man has a right to say what he feels plus he brought up gresy topic . Clear Macus name. Lisa ask your government to make that request when the hugging sn kissing a happen.
I hope he is planning not to travel to a “waste man” country anymore. Him too rude…so disappointed in him

You see when you gwaan like you reach the top and you can say and do anything… Watch it.. You go to those people country to make a living and they can decide if they want you there or not.. You can express your self without all that…
Excitement over nothing g
Chronixx is entitled to Freedom of speech as long as he is not committing a crime.Americans criticize their Presidents and other public figures whenever they wish.Why is there a fuss about Chronixx’s comments?
She is a politician. He is an artist. She has to play the game. He doesn’t. More respect for Chronixx.
Listen to me nuh man! Y should anyone stand down to please another. He is doing what many of us black people should be doing and that’s vocalizing our opinion like it or not. The world is ours, demand a place in it if its has been taken! He is not incorrect by the way and I love his blunt approach. Controversy is all around us and we should be a nation who should stand up for what is right. Lighta TUN UP FI CHRONIXXX!!!!! BLESS UP MI GENERAL
The Waste Man that Chronixx speak of, that waste man country provides a better life for Millions of Jamaicans & big contracts for talented Artist like himself. . Continue singing positive music & Leave politics to politicians
Tread lightly Mi Artist, Nutten nuh wrong with yuh views but a how it come across. Try use your Jamaican Fame for Positive Vybz especially for the youths of this generation. Your Disrespecting the WORLD LEADER
Man say what he want! That’s a man!
There is an effective way and an ineffective way to do things. What Chronixx said made sense but the way he approached the matter was ineffective.
How can Obama be seeing as the waste man when we have countless Jamaicans in positions that gives them access to the resources needed to do exactly what Chronixx is saying. We can’t sit and wait for others to fight our battles for us. A rasta man at the forum ask Obama about legalization of weed……… That man should have asked about the process to have Garvey exonerated. Chronixx himself can start the movement to get this done…..talking about something and being about something is two different things. If we as Jamaicans are not going to be about it, then we are more wasteman than Obama.
Talk to her man…I would talk to her..lol
Talk di tingz … Stand ya ground !!!! True fans will stay true only the fake ones will tell u seh yuh wrong
Hot fire Chronixx mi general! Same way.
JAMAICA MINISTER LOOK GOOD…LOL
One thing I grow up and realize in mother earth the truth gona always be the only weapon for the liars and wicked.so who kno the truths leads gona get a fight by the wicked.u and ways can change the wrong but the truths can and will never change.large up chronixx.selah.
Everyone as the rights to freedom of speech. There are important things that need to address, than to be talking about man thats not important to the serious issues this country faces now. Talk about how we as a nation and government can do to help the next generation. Remember that everyone here now soon dead and gone but what about our children in the future. We need more compassion n love for our generation to come. May the mercy of God be with us.
As a fan of Chronnixx, I am disappointed that he allows himself to be caught up in these matters. There are bigger fights to fight; and that is what should be concentrated on. His remarks are unwarranted and egregious when taken into consideration with the fact that Marcus Garve has a criminal record in Jamaica that has not yet been expunged….
These comments though! Right now i think Chronixx out of line! its best if him apologize. cause as much as the country have to respect the heros and culture, the country in bad state we need help and recognition, dont live for yourselves live for your children and a better jamaica
weqwerwerewrew
That’s why babylon police a kill unuh stupid ass black people in america one by one and u all can’t do shit about it.cause u all nutten but some self destructive set of people u never like to support ur own race and rally behind them in good and bad time instead u always running behind other race picking up there garbage. None of u kno Marcus Garvey and the vision he was trying to accomplish for u all tru the world.u do no better than to sell him out to the infidels.but u always fighting the rastaman.
What is she talking about? I just wrote a paper about the same thing they do refer to Marcus as such. Wake up people know your facts.

Rate chronixx one of the most intelligent artist around but there’s a time and place for everything…
A rudimentary contextual examination of Chronixx’s statement reveals that he was referring to Mr. Garvey as the “waste man” rather than Mr. Obama. In other words Chronixx is complaining that Mr. Garvey’s legacy is being wasted by the Jamaican government and people who are not doing enough to secure a U.S. Presidential pardon for Mr. Garvey, which would go a long way in rehabilitating his tarnished image and restoring his good name. Chronixx is also taking the Jamaican government to task for the unequal treatment that the government of the day afforded to Mr. Garvey, as compared to the spectacular treatment that the current Jamaican government lavished on Mr. Obama. As long as you do not “cry fire in a crowded theater” free speech is protected.
Chronixx said nothing wrong!!! I agree with u!!!we naah apologize fi nothing weh we seh!!!Nuff love chronixx…
I do not understand people. We all know that marcus was treated wrong for doing what was right and just like many other great black men before and after him. Yet he expected the president to come out of the blue to talk about him. Is he or many other person who agree with him is saying that the dead man who has nothing to worry about is that more important to be discuss about than thr persons who are alive today? The president came to talk about things that benefits the living. Even if the president spoke about marcus marcus himself wont benefit from it neither him decentants because the wrongs were already done. The dead sre dead they did what they can to get us here and we all know that. Its time to think about the now and the future
Why is it she never took time to speak about the people dem who the government have mistreated…why she dont make a response to portia and her friends a bun out how the police dem allowed fi kill so much innocent in cold blood..why she never made a video a bun out her self fi a tek up ice bucket challenge and a wet up government and tax payer floor over something jamaica never benefited from…yet she wanna tek time out fi counsel a artist who have free speech about his convictions…a tell di man say fi call u like he run behind pretty face…#DEMBIAS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzdKxhc1NC0
So true nthn Hanna there’s a time and place for everything regardless of he might feel…. And nthn is wrong with wat u say…. So no offence c
All he did was speak without censorship is that a crime. leave the youth alone.
THE MAN SAID NOTHING WRONG. OBAMA IS A WASTE MAN. MI SEH SO AND NUFF OTHER HUNGRY PEOPLE ALSO. AND LISA HANNA SHOULD STFU!!!!!!! MOVING LIKE SOME HOUSE SLAVE….FYAH TO ALL WORLD LEADERS. NONE OF THEM HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB. PEOPLE ARE DYING BECAUSE OF THIS SO CALLED GOVERNMENT. CHRONIXX YOU DID USE THE BEST WORDS. KT WEH DEM FEEL LIKE LIGHTNING AND TUNDA PON DEM. AND TO ALL ELDERS CHRONIXX HAS THE SPIRIT OF PETER TOSH NUFF SAID. KEEP THE FYAH BURNING CHRONIXX NAH BOW TO BABYLON….. CARE NOT ABOUT MONEY THE MUSIC OR MEDIA JUST BE YOURSELF AND KEEP IT REAL.
I feel that singers of a platform to say things lyrically and they should use. To point out wrong things but don’t just stay on one wrong point out everything that is wrong fornication is wrong stealing is wrong lying is wrong immorality is wrong in whatever form it takes and once in is not above the other so I will respect an entertain amor if is not bias in the things he talks about all sin is sin and we should try not to send at all if we can we should tell each other the truth and even though we will truth on pass at the end of the day we should not be mad at anyone trying to tell the truth
LOL chronix betta watch it before dem revoke his visa.
A great speech. Chronixxx call her your both right! And thank you Chronixxx to educate Jamaicans about our history!
The media or ppl are taking this way out of proportion do you think the President will loose a sleep over Chronixx childish rants no but he sure now brought to the President awareness of how most ppl felt about Marcus Garvey and I’m sure the President will look into it and if things can be done he will do it. The President and the Obamas are down for our cause.
Miss Hanna should not lower her standard to reply to that idiot, just remember this ”even the dumb and ignorant have his story” done talk!
Freedom of speech is necessary but choice of words is critical! In other words, you can express yourself without disrespecting others.
Would someone kindly tell me the difference between and political parasite and a waste man, would really appreciate it…

Chronixx has proven to be the real waste man. Obama pledged 70 million towards youth development. Waste man Chronixx what have you done for Jamaica!

Chronixx there is right and a wrong way to express ur opinion. At the end of the day making a derogatory comment about the leader of the free world might have serious consequences with regards to ur career.
Andre Robinson has 64 likes so far – the conscious will always win and remain fearless….can’t speak for the rest…Guess Obama will….
I don’t see what the hubbub is about. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with what Lisa just said. It’s good advice for a lot of situations.
Understood Chronixx’s point still. But he should have referred to the USA as a country rather than just referring to one person. You have to understand that although Obama is the President, there are still other members of the government and decisions are collective.

Well I guess he can give back his visa now.
Him need Fi cool and don’t follow just do your music
He went too easy on him. Imagine if Peter Tosh was on the scene. Then you would hear the real truth
Some time in life is not everything good first good fit talk I love chronixx music meet him in person cool very cool .. But sometime certain things better not said or not said a certain way don’t let people boost you to throw away what you have accomplished with just a few words this is one of the reasons why us as Jamaicans can only reach so far in life aswel remember the us play a big part in your journey of music be Wise think before you talk your a very smart person you have come along way don’t be stupid a few words use the wrong way and your just like some of our Jamaican artist local.. Be smart rasta people look up to you don’t kill what you already build one love
Black people on a whole can’t stand success whenever they start making a little progress in life it goes to their heads , black people always talk shit about their each other chronic go educate yourself please
Only the ignorant and brain washed of this country would disagree with Chronixx. If they only knew who and what Abomination, i mean Obama represents, and if they only knew how Marcus fought for their benefit. Damn Shame.

I respectfully would like to hear about the contributions by brother chronix have made to African people around the world in his short journey in life leave judgment to the creator
What about freedom of speech I totally agree with what he sed everyone got a right to say what ever they want if we the people don’t speak up then nothing is ever going to change…
so we all should jus shut up and roll over whatever happen to freedom of speech the a say what him feel and you say what you feel so and now me a say what me feel all of you people in government are a bunch of two face *********** who only look out for yourselves who rob the country to fatten your own ass and suck up to other countries like bitches there is enough wealth in Jamaica for us to be proud of and prosper as a country and can hold our heads high and be proud to be Jamaicans how the hell can you be proud to be someone else lacky you people need to suck it up and be the head and not the tail right now you guys are not even the tail i bet you can guess whats coming next lol how can you be comfortable for someone to stay in their house and tell you how to run your house you think they gonna tell you to run your house to benefit you they just gonna tell you stuff to keep you dependent on them so then they can own you and you people are too educated to see this (worst than the waste man infact they are the waste that come out of the waste man)
I find it quit humorous that Chronixx at no point in his statement called obama’s name of even made reference to an american. he simply said “WASTE MAN” how comes so many put the hat on obama’s head…they must in their own subconscious perceive him that way or figure there to be validity in such a description. What has obama ever done for the advancement of the human race….more so the Black race. Yeah he legitimised gay and lesbian unions but that only benefits those who like playing in shit or those with loose lips. His greatest achievement seems to be having been born part Black though I don’t know how much credit he an really take for that. But as Lisa Hanna so eloquently put it…we must be careful how and what we say about whom as not to lose the place for our mouth on there ass cheeks. So as long as its a “NOBODY” feel free to stand to your morals but if its obama we should gracefully bend over and take it up the ass. Thank you for the heads up Lisa Hanna
I disagree with most of the shy, uninformed, cowardice advice or opinions about the implications of what the artist said….Jamaican people and black people especially (even the American people) have forgotten history, they have forgotten that we all gained our freedom not by negotiation with nice, hopeful words, but through war! Standing against a corrupt establishment….Lisa Hanna is a coward that has not much information about the real world…..you all need to do some research about Obama, about the Federal Reserve, about true power in america and across the world, then, and only then will you truly be able to get the position that the artist takes! Stop being lame ass slaves, constantly defend a system your know NOTHING OF!
like your show! laugh so till!

Love chronixx music, but he’s value damn dum ass..
I do not think chronixx disrespected Obama I think we are all taking this out of context ….”glorifying waste men” was in a reference to Obama laying wreath at the shrine of World War soldiers (waste men) who served the oppressors, while few meters away was the tomb of Marcus Garvey… Obama’s inspiration comes from Martin Luther King and Malcolm X…. Malcolm X and Martin Luther were inspired by Marcus Garvey in essence it is disrespectful on Obama’s part not to pay respect to Marcus Garvey while standing meters away from the man’s tomb.
I jus cant understand these ppl who lash out against the us an yet they are the same ones who join lines in the sun for a visa…im sure chronixx have a american visa then im asking why go to a waste man countr .? Why collect waste man money? Why wear clothes that are made in a waste man country. ..chronixx is jus arragant biting the hands that feed him cause abroad is where him make the most money i bet!!!!
Take his US Visa away
the platform you have created would be better utilized by being wise in your approach. There is speech and effective speech..that is using intelligence wisely….suggest you put your brilliance to speak truth with respect and wisdom…avoid distractions at all cost, it’s a sign of strength
Freedom of speech and democracy means that you would defend with your life the right of someone to express themselves, even if the said expression is offensive to you. This is a philosophy to which I am sure Barak Obama subscribes. Grow up Jamaicans. If we say the same things in regards to our homegrown politicians daily and there is no uproar, why should Obama be any different?.
What is ironic in all of this is that Obama is a great admirer of Bob Marley, the same rastaman who would not hesitate to call it as he saw it. I personally believe Chronixx should not have made the comment in that manner, but only because I am concerned about the negative economic consequences that might emanate from this. As a businessman Chronixx should be aware that you ought not to insult those you seek to do business with. Outside of those narrow monetary concerns, his comments were mild and tame in relation to some of what has been said by others about Obama.
All I can say is that somebody’s visa just got revoked
sigh
Chranixx you know what u are doing you just Afto do what u are doing in the realistic manner
What we see taking place is a plan to unite the whole world understand the control of Rome,a one world government and that is why they want everyone to accept homosexuality as something normal and when this happens,anyone who don’t go with the order will be imprisoned r put to death,the book of Revelation 13 says the lamb like beast which is America will cause all to worship the first beast (Rome),don’t think Obama’s visit is something good,it is to bring everything under Babylon.
Speak your mind Chronixx and dont be intimidated by the powers that be. A lot of people is so afraid to say what is on there mind so you become the voice of the voiceless…..dont compromise with the truth rasta.
Chronman give Lisa Hanna a call because you never know what can transpire bless it up.
We All Rate Chronixx But We Need Fi Be Respectful Star
Honestly i think if he didn’t use the word waste manso much ppl wouldn’t have a problem with it, but then again we as jamaican will sell out each other 4 any top man or boss man we’ll respect them b4 we respect the man standing beside u, i respect Obama but what chronixx says has a whole heap a truth in it…..jus look in it

Free speech has its share of consequences.
Government can only rule slave, government employees property popet, the people are the popet sheep slaves property, they don’t know that cantract form from government, and they are the government, Chronixx know these principle, that we are the aboriginal indigenous sovereign people the ruler of this land and we are not popet slave, Obama is not the president America, he is the president the U.S . corporation not the united states of america.
Jamaica is a plantation for slave, the Island is the Americas for natural living human being, who is not slave, the priminster of Jamaica is a slave master for the Jesuit of Rome, not for the natural people.

There is nothing wrong with what Lisa Hanna said, she was being fair and quite nice, and not judgmental so why the fuss? If someone else spoke to you face to face and expressed the same in a loving way you would accept it, so why be judgmental because she is a young politician saying this? She is right!!! Let us love those who care and a re at least try on our behalf. How much are each of us doing for Jamaica’s youth??? So why be quick to point a finger in ungratefulness??????????????
If we live to feed controversy with every little thing said and add fire to it instead of ignoring some things, it will set our hearts ablaze with hatred and destroy us individually, and destroy our nation and what we are trying to build, and defame us!!!! Let us support each other in love…godly love….AGAPE LOVE!
