1. A Wah Really Gwaan pon di Sea?
Ask yuhself dis quick question, brethren…
If di US government decide fi install one big, high-tech radar detector inna Trinidad & Tobago, who really benefit? A fi Caribbean safety? A fi dem own interest? Or both?
Plenty yardman and yardwoman a scratch dem head right now, cah di news buss but di details scarce like good mango inna dry season. And that cause pure confusion.
So fi today, mi — Juboy — a go give yuh a clean, human breakdown pon:
-
Why di US a install the radar
-
Why Caribbean people concerned
-
How it might affect travel, security, fishermen, trade, and even politics
-
And what Jamaicans can learn from dis whole move
Straight talk. No long debate.
2. Why People Nervous?
Why This Happen
People inna the Caribbean fraid a anything weh involve:
-
Surveillance
-
Big power influence
-
Border control
-
Extra monitoring
-
Foreign military tech
Especially when di information leak out patchy-patchy like bad radio signal.
Real Pain Points:
-
Fisherman worried dem boat might get flagged
-
Travelers scared about more security checks

Regional trust shaky
-
Government updates slow
Mi ask one fisherman inna Portmore wah him think. Him seh:
“Juboy, every time foreign country put in tech yah, a we always feel it fuss. More radar mean more stop-check, and we work time done cut.”
That a real, everyday concern.
3. Wah People A Get Wrong
Myth 1: “Radar detector mean full US control.”
No sah. It nuh work so simple. Radar nuh equal ownership.
Myth 2: “Is only for drug traffickers.”
That a major part, yes — but radar can track:
-
Boats
-
Aircraft
-
Cargo movement
-
Illegal smugglers
-
Unidentified vessels
Myth 3: “It nah affect Jamaica.”
Every move inna the Caribbean waters ripple straight to wi doorstep.
When big countries move, small islands feel breeze.
4. How Fi Understand & Navigate Dis Properly
Step 1: Learn What Radar REALLY Does
Step 2: Separate Fear from Facts

Trusted Caribbean media
-
Local officials
-
Maritime organizations
Step 3: Know Your Rights
Especially fishermen, sailors, cargo drivers — keep:
-
Boat papers
-
Registration
-
Identification

Travel logs
Step 4: Prepare for More Monitoring
Accept it early — Caribbean waters ago get tighter.
Step 5: Talk Up inna Community Meetings

5. Expert Level Yard Insight
Here’s the deeper reason the US a invest:
-
South American drug routes shifting north
-
Caribbean waterways open like toll road
-
Human trafficking rise
-
Illegal guns passing through
-
US want early warning system BEFORE danger reach dem border
So di radar inna Trinidad could be:
-
A defensive move
-
A regional partnership
-
Or a long-term strategic setup
6. Captain Rowe's Awakening
Before
-
More stop

More questions

Longer hours

Less trust
After
But after training session wid maritime officers, him realize:

Radar actually help detect pirate boats
-
It lower risk of hijacking

Him tell mi:
“Mi did think a pure stress, but it have benefits man. Just di communication poor.”
That a di key problem — lack of communication.
