Break the Power of Big Money

by Eric Margolis

Jamaica’s Port Royal used to be called the wickedest city on earth. During the 1600’s, it was a favorite lair for pirates, buccaneers like Henry Morgan, cutthroats, and assorted criminals.

To paraphrase Somerset Maugham’s wonderful quip about Monaco, “a sunny place for shady people.”

In 1692, a massive earthquake plunged most of this tropical Sodom and 2,000 of its inhabitants into the sea. God’s punishments cried preachers.
