IMAGINE THERE WAS NO RAWLINGS!
JEREMIAH JOHN RAWLINGS
The true son of mama Africa
You came, you saw and you
conquered your corrupt enemies.
He first appeared on the Ghanaian
political scene on June 4, 1979.
Then he came back on December 31, 1981
and restored Ghana into the path of
total political and economic emancipation.
Imagine there's no Rawlings
Ghana could have become
a basket case, but he averted an
impending disaster in Ghana,
by taking a drastic but effective actions
of getting rid of some corrupt elements
in Ghana political arena..
Imagine there's no Rawlings
Some say the story of Ghana is like the
story of the biblical Moses and the Jews.
It required a certain J.J Rawlings to play
the role of the powerful Hebrew.
It is a story of emancipation,
bravery and patriotism.
A story of belief, national commitment,
sacrifice, hardwork and honesty
to fellow citizens.
Imagine there's no Rawlings
Ft Lieutenant Jerry Rawlings Liberated
Ghana from militarism, mis-governance,
economic paralysis, hunger, and
perpetual doom when he publicly
executed the likes of Gen. Afriffa,
Gen Akuffo, Gen Acheampong,
and all those who plunged Ghana
into untold hardship.
Imagine there's no Rawlings
Today, Ghana is laughing loud
and thankful to God for using
J.J to emancipate the country.
Imagine there's no Rawlings
JJ you came, you saw and you
conquered your corrupt enemies
Rawlings you are blessed
He who Jah blessed, no one curse
Not even the descendants of
destructive metimehu elements.

RAWLINGS IS A LIVING HYPOCRITE!
COMPATRIOTS,
VARIOUSLY, ON FACEBOOK (RECENTLY ON THE WALL OF ONE PROSPER TSIKATA) GHANAWEB, MODERNGHANA AND ELSEWHERE ON THE INTERNET, I HAVE CRITICISED AND FACTUALLY EXPOSED RAWLINGS' OWN HYPOCRISY, REGARDING THE ISSUES OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY.
HIS USUAL DOUBLE-STANDARD IS VARIOUSLY ILLUSTRATED IN HIS SPEECH IN SOUTH AFRICA: HE INTRODUCED THE SOCIAL PHENOMENON, 'CULTURE OF SILENCE' DURING HIS LENGTHY, REPRESSIVE, NEO-COLONIAL REIGN AS GHANA'S PRESIDENT.
HE DID SO THROUGH A PANOPLY OF REPRESSIVE TACTICS (ARRESTS, INCARCERATIONS, KILLINGS, AND EXILING OF POLITICAL OPPONENTS). I SHOULD KNOW, BECAUSE I WAS HELPED HIM AS A PROPAGANDIST, AND BECAUSE I WROTE AN MA DISSERTATION ON THIS MEDIA PHENOMENA IN THE LATE 1980. HE STATES:
'Africa has to do more about the abuse of its sovereignty. I am not saying people should not be punished for their actions, but let us be unified in showing that we have the capacity to deal with our own problems.'
YET HE WAS THE FIRST GHANAIAN PRESIDENT, EVER IN HISTORY, TO INTRODUCE AND COMPREHENSIVELY IMPLEMENT THE DRACONIAN AND BANKRUPTING IMF-SAP ECONOMIC PROGRAM. THIS HAS DEVASTATED BOTH THE STATE AND PRIVATE SECTORS. GHANA IS NOW AFFLICTED WITH ALL THE PREDICTABLE CONSEQUENCES OF RAWLINGS SIGNING HER TO THE IMF-SAP NONSENSE.
GHANA HAS SOLD, WHOLESALE, ALL ITS KEY ECONOMIC SECTORS TO WESTERN DIKTATS: GOLD, DIAMOND, OIL, COCOA, BAUXITE, MANGANESE, GHANA TELECOM, GHANA AIRWAYS, BLACK STAR LINE SHIPPING CO, GIHOC STATE INDUSTRIES, ETC. AND ALL THESE ECONOMIC SECTORS WERE SOLD OUT AT A TIME WHEN AN ALTERNATIVE ECONOMIC PACKAGE WAS ON THE TABLE TO BE CONSIDERED.
HE REPRESSED - KILLED, JAILED OR EXILED OPPONENTS OF THE IMF-SAP. SO IN WHAT SENSE, OTHER THAN DOUBLE-SPEAK, DOES HE MEAN AFRICA 'MUST HAVE THE CAPACITY TO DEAL WITH OUR OWN PROBLEMS'? PEOPLE FEARED TO SPEAK OUT DURING HIS REIGN OF TERROR, SO IN WHAT SENSE ARE WE TO QUANTIFY HIS MORALISING SPEECH?
TO EMPHASIS HIS DUPLICITOUS, HYPOCRITICAL, LYING AND MERCURIAL CHARACTER, RAWLINGS AND HIS LADY MACBETH OF A WIFE, NANA KUNADU AGYEMANG RAWLINGS, INCESTUOUSLY BOUGHT SOME OF THE ERSTWHILE STATE-OWNED FIRMS (A CANNERY FACTORY) HE HAD DIVESTED! HE IS NON ADJUDGED ONE OF THE TEN RICHEST MEN IN GHANA - NOT BAD FOR A MERE COUP-MAKING FLIGHT LIEUTENANT IN THE EARLY 1980S EH?
TO CONCLUDE, I HAVE EXPOSED RAWLINGS' DOUBLE-SPEAK - 'CULTURE OF SILENCE' ANTI DEMOCRATIC REIGN, AND UNPATRIOTIC SELLING OF ALL GHANA'S STATE SECTOR ECONOMIC HEIRLOOM TO THE VERY WESTERN COUNTRIES WHO COLONISED GHANA.
THEY WERE DUTIFULLY BOOTED OUT BY THE GREAT DR. KWAME NKRUMAH - TO WHOM THIS AWARD SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN POSTHUMOUSLY.

Rawlings seems to be making some interesting observations and pronouncement, esp. on the international scene, he however seems lost on the whole gist of America's quest to arrest Edward Snowden, who is a traitor. Rawlings shouldn't forget that he did more heinous crimes in his reign, arresting innocent Ghanaians in the night and killing citizens, some of whom cannot be found up to this day. For him to be accusing the US or others is proper hypocrisy!
Many people or the world knows Rawlings' past as military leader; he shouldn't be too excited when he called to address international audiences in this way. Rawlings must be careful; he must watch out!

For a guy who overthrew the democratically elected government of a country, collected all the living leaders of the country and anybody he percieved as a threat to his rule, lined them up on a beach and shot them all im broad daylight, and for nearly twenty years visited the most atrocious rule on a country of over twenty million to talk against abuse of human rights is the height of hypocrisy; the very hypocrisy which he despises.
What respect for human rights did this egomaniac exhibit when he was in charge of Ghana? I wish those who bestow prizes on this mad man and provide a forum for his silly rantings will talk to the sons and daughters of the victims of his outrageous deeds when he was leader of Ghana. This mad man is no Kwame Nkrumah or Nelson Mandela, and it is an insult to the continent when he is put on a pedestal and offered to the world as an African leader. In my book, he is a blot of glease on the history of Ghana, and one of the best examples of the unfortunate leadership that post-colonial Africa has had to endure.

When someone is bold enough to tell America about the wrongs they do, Africans with slave mentality stand against their saviours and no wonder, the african continect is now blessed with problems of toppling regimes and bringing into power, puppet leaders who dance the tune of imperial america and other western powers. What nonsense! How many of you those making noise against Jerry can stand on a platform to criticize the Americans for their support of terrorist in other parts of the world such as Syria while fighting them in Pakistan? Do they not know that the terrorist in Pakistan are not different from those they support in Syria? What is the usa moral obligation in the global campaign against terrorism? Ignorance is a disease!

MR GBESHIE PLEASE BE CAREFUL. THEY WILL POUR INSULTS ON YOU AND HOUND YOU.
Obviously Rawlings has a message that can be summed up in one paragraph. What we see is repetitive hoopla that undermines the power of his observations. He needs a better speech writer!
Rawlings should thank his stars that he can still sleep on his bed after killing a lot of people by firing squad with no reason, and now he has the guts to point fingers and make reference to human rights and justice, just sh ...

"HOLY SPIRIT" GUARD THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA AND AFRICANS. JJ RAWLINGS I LOVE YOU BUT MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Rawlings seems to be making some interesting observations and pronouncement, esp. on the international scene, he however seems lost on the whole gist of America's quest to arrest Edward Snowden, who is a traitor. Rawlings sho ...

It is a very serious disgrace to have people with colonial minds who will want to pre-empty the glaring facts about the world order that Jerry has spoken about. This is one of the reasons why africa cannot develop. When some ...

Tell them! Freedom is the answer.
America needs to be told.
Good job honourable JJ
Rawlings is and would remain one of the greatest revolutionary of our time. He is an African Stateman and his speeches and utterances shake the hypocrites.
Long live JJ

I like the way Rawlings has exposed the West's double standards.
They are truly hypocrites. They oppress their citizens and yet blame Africa leaders.

This is the kind of brains and men we need to lead this continent
Shut up J.J.leave that to the intellecturals not you semi illeterate drop out self made politician .This topic is too deep for you to poke your nose into.Get lost
I find it interesting that Rawlings didn't metion Kwame Nkrumah.
Unipolar world, bipolar world - all show that the Nonalignment policies of Kwame Nkrumah was the right one. The post-Snowden world reflects that.
