You know for a fact the books are banned in Jamaica?
Who banned them?

I don't think Eddie Blinds is suing anyone but he should.
I know someone housed the author of one of the books in question for two weeks when she was so-called researching the story. He said that lady is not to be trusted.

Couldn't find any current info on his case against Gunst. Just this old article on his settlement with Western Broadcasting, with mention at the end of pending suit against Gunst.

Re banning. It may be an unofficial ban, the book is not sold in JA...probably due to political and/or gang pressure. Nothing would surprise me.

BET sucks!

My cousin mentioned that in CT her episode does not show the Shower Posse episode so I checked it here in N.Y and I see what she means. If you check you TV's &quot;guide&quot; it shows a different episode but if you go to their ONLINE SCHEDULE they show the Shower Posse episode.

For all I know, the may show an episode of Bugs Bunny.

Was the suit about Eli or was it about Seaga and the Shower Posse?

You are sure the book is not for sale in Jamaica?
If you can't show an Official Ban how are you going to claim there is a ban?

<span style="font-weight: bold">Long before Jim Brown ever was a gangster in the USA he made his name in Jamaica. The USA Gang and the Jamaican Political Scene was completely different though featuring some of the same actors.</span>

So even with the transporting of the gang name and some of the key players from the US to JA, was there not at any future point a co-mingling of gang affiliation with the political scene at the time?

I just watched a few minutes of the video and they imply otherwise.

But let me say this I know when Jim Brown went to the USA. I know about when the name Shower Posse came about and if you go to Jamaica at that time among all the gangs in Jamaica there was and still no Shower Posse.
Shower Posse is wholly an invention of USA-Jamaican Drug runners comprised of players who were already political gangsters in Jamaica.

The Video is already a joke, but it is important for footage!

okay, I am thoroughly confused now

Re: I'm asking the Ja.com family to watch BET tommorow night

To be honest, if they asked 492.75 Jamaicans their version of the story, they will get 492.75 different replies and the &quot;truth&quot; of the matter will be somewhere in between all the different answers.

When I sit down with Cecil Conner/Charles Miller a.k.a &quot;Little Nut,&quot; I'm going to hear something different also, I'm sure. From what I recall, he was making moves back and forth to Jamaica from St Kitts back in the day and began running with a local gang who we all know now. He was alleged to have shot a local police dead and escaped back to St. Kitts where he was then helped into the U.S by Vivian Blake and the rest is history.

The fact is there was and there is no <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">Shower Posse </span>in Jamaica.
Do you notice how they carefully avoid reference to other Nationalities but they mention the names?
How they claim the USA was sending guns to destabilize the Menlie Regime but provide absolutely no evidence?

Interesting. That is what the guide on the TV said, but what actually showed here was what their online TV schedule actually said which was the shower Posse.

Well, as you can see, Sinco posted the link to the show. That's one place you can watch it until they repeat it on television.
