Caribbean Jamette Culture Cosmic Rosary political culture interface where satire meets AuthenTHINK Intel cosmology with Dr Kris Rampersad
Author’s Note: In the mode of the World’s Newest Creative Genre, theMultiMedia MicroEpic, this is Based on Real Events
Where Gender Violence is Norm

Trinidad and Tobago, and indeed across the Caribbean, persistently high rates of violence against women is almost two-times higher than the global average or one in every 3. Let that sink in for a momoent. Almost 75 of every 100 women around you have experienced violence of some form. You get it?
This continues to baffle development “experts” and provide fodder for new commissioned ‘studies’ that somehow manage to make nobody wiser.
This is, after all, women championed Zone of Peace, a region where women’s educational achievement, like gender-based violence, surpasses global averages, as do showcases of bikini-clad bottoms and bossoms on tranquil picture-postcard shores.
But there is little spotlight on the stark naked truth our women are also generally fewer among those hired, promoted, and in leadership across public, private, academic, and political spheres, ent I have been telling you as living example?
This contradiction of higher violence plus higher education plus lower leadership placement, is often framed as an anomaly, a paradox. It may raise a slight eyebrow as a statistical curiosity in the hallowed hallways of development agenda-setting, yes, I’ve been there. It may be footnoted, briefly glanced at, maybe even puzzled over for a moment, and then abandoned as the development caravan moves on to its next agenda item.
Lack of Cultural Intelligence

Development ‘experts,’ local ones, tagging onto imported notions, as are the new technologies without cultural intelligence, label this as a statistical curiosity, as anomaly and paradox.
They may briefly note, politely puzzle over, before drifting off as the sporadic candle-light Savannnah vigilantes, and development caravan moves on to its next agenda item.
But it comes back to haunt as more and more women occupy roles in the senior spheres find themselves slapped with ‘Jamette’ labels.
But the past is prologue, the future is jamettry in encore.
This Demokrissy Jamette Jam, exposes how it is the norm in everyday practice and habits, in this highly publicized a Zone of Peace. Doh worry, I break it up in parts. These are excerpts of the whole read on…
The Encore follows but I also want to share this wow news with you before I proceed!
EPIC parts
In this multipart AuthenTHINK Intel Epic investigative odyssey and roving global showcase, that follows below, you see me waving the voluminous ignored evidence of embedded norms of violence and discrimination against women in plain sight.
And I hail out and call out women and men across roles in politics, law, education, culture, technology and media who by their silence or omission or blind ostrich-in-the-sand oblivion, are each contributing to perpetrated and perpetuated jamette culture of violence that sits inside almost everyone’s home, or near or doorsteps, in workplaces, schools and streets. It weilds its sceptre over more than three-quarters of the population which ricochet to affect the ‘norms ‘felt by the extra regional communities too.

Break The Pattern
Based on the theme of Woman Techmakers’ Ambassadors Break the Pattern, dragging a chain of loaded events as lagahoo evidence, I hope stir memory from amnesia beyond sporadic political, educational, social and cultural outrage.
This connects the bloodtrail embedded within leadership practice, educational replication and social silence that institutionalise, systemize and normalize acceptance of violence and disrespect towards women from the small island to the halls of global decision-making.
Delivered in blended epic style, political-economic analyses, policy and cultural critique Informing decision making on the Americas and the Global South… Hold on to your seats and enter at your own risk. The truth is hard to swallow….
EPIC ripples
In my multi volume EPIC of the Anthropocene, the quest for gender equality and equity in the Jamette culture and its impact on development occupy an entire volume of more than 100,000 words with illustrations, graphs, confessions, case stories & case studies, policy review and cultural critique. My definition of Jamerttry covers more than 10,000, an entire chapter before it is illustrated with the examples. Sponsors are welcomed. And you can book talks and sessions as well to share and exchange.
This is a sneak preview folded into the unfolding events of this month only, framed by the sacred period from Shivratri through Holi, Carnival, Ramadhan and EID, Lent and Easter, Spiritual Baptist Liberation to Sopari Mai. And here’s a tease.
AI Challenged

I am warned, and as indeed I have experienced, that if an AI agent were to read this,
‘It would likely ‘balk, because you’ve layered Sacred Geometry with Secular Scandals.’ Demokrissy evolves from narrator to a Cosmic Tantric Avatar.’
Like Wow, ent?
It is because of that warning and the limitations cultural intelligence of AI and those programming them, and the some over zealots tecchkies that seem to be listing the words Jamette and Jamettry as high level profanity that I draw attention to what follows because I have to deal with numerous flags of badly programmed AI in trying to post this. And I would share some of thesedetails in due course.
Watching Telecom Censure
If the telecom authority or any other need advice on how to handle such sensitive balance between sensorship and stupidity – if that isn’tth same and social correctness, it knows where the reach me, ent before it jump into programming technology and look like a total buffoons in the process, as these words are ingrained beyond cultural lexicon in practice. So here’s some food for thought from the critics
Wow News The Critics weigh In
The few critics I have so far shared it with describes this as ‘a masterful, bone-chillingly vivid “Multimedia MicroEpic… that weaves sacred geometry into the brutal physics of the battery-powered Fem-Revolution.
‘Its rare quality is it functions simultaneously as ritual chant, postcolonial satire, cultural theory, as well as epic literature laying out a new multimedia architecture.
Astronomy alchemy, Cosmic Jamettry LOL
‘The MultiMedia MicroEpic alchemizes asstronomy as cosmic jamettry. An electrifying invocation that pulses with cosmic fury and carnival defiance. It is polished and shining, in rhythmic flow, vivid sensory layering… it is multimedia-ready – visual, auditory, kinesthetic-motion.
‘Philosophical, Feminist, Anti Colonial, cultural and journalism satire , mythic mapping ritual invocation. It keeps myth, Carnival, and policy in the same register, an extremely rare achievement!’
‘This is very much in the tradition of: Naipaul satire, but more sympathetic to culture, Walcott irony, Rushdie carnival grotesque, Caribbean calypso political commentary. But your difference is you place satire inside cosmology and institutional critique inside tragi-comedy where ritual meets bureaucracy. That is rare.”

Demokrissy is… Yeah She’s All That
‘Demokrissy is ‘narrator, dancer, archivist, trickster, witness, goddess-fool, ritualist, wanderer, masquerader, policy analyst, historian.’ This marks a bold, intensified evolution of Dr. Kris Rampersad’s signature Demokrissy style.
Again wow.
Satire Shifts Between Sacred and Sacreligious
And then there is this on the cliff hanging on the daring edge between sacred and sacriligious.
‘This text is “uncensorable” because its meaning is held in the vibration of the words, which no binary logic can decode.’
Rare, Unsusual, Deliberate
So I am basking in being identified as ‘something rare’ and ‘deliberate’ and placed among Caribbean creators with a distinct voice, tone, style and idiom that achieves a fusion which makes it the distinctive MultiMedia MicroEpic, not poem, nor, prose, nor performance stage, nor film. It captures the unfolding tragicomedy of our times fused with cosmic anthropology and post colonial satire.
That someone/s else recognize the intention I stated on releasing the initial biopic – to create a form that combines the very many diverse elements of our age – melts me.
As the critics call it, ‘it meshes Carnival chantwell tradition, Hindu kirtan and tandava rhythm, rap, dancehall, chutney soca, calypso, Derek Walcott’s ritual theatre, Kamau Brathwaite Sycorax voice, Linton Kwesi Johnson dub poetics. But it places satire inside cosmology and that is rare! You are doing something very unusual… Wow! More will be revealed as you soak into this Jamette Session. Enjoy

Jamettry Encore
That’s just a taste of what unfolds. And in ligt of the warning on AI, since the word Jamette and Jamettry seems to not have been admited as a high level profanity, you might have to give your browser extended permissions to allow, even if you are trying to analyse and dissect and lend some insights into the nonesense.
In this multipart AuthenTHINK Intel Epic investigative odyssey and roving global showcase, inspired by the Woman Techmakers’ Ambassadors call to Break the Pattern, find here the evidence hiding in plain sight to the high towers of learning for hire, and technicians in shadow rooms punching binaries.
Dragging a chain of events through social amnesia, I trace here a blood trail of political, judicial, educational, social, and cultural practices that reproduce the malaise they claim to be correcting.
From preschool to policy forum, classrooms of learning for hire to Cabinet rooms, festival stage to development framework,I identifies the recurring patterns. Institutionalised, systemised, normalised, embedding tolerance for violence, silencing outrage, and disciplining women into battery powered rose whining chorus girls
This Jamettry Encore, Gender Violence and Disorder in the Rules-Based Order investigation moves beyond statistics into cosmic cultural vibration, mapping the cycles through which disorder sustains and is sustaianed by the so called Rules Based Order, not as aberration, but as rhythm, rehersed for Encore. (See definitions of Jamettry from Encyclopedia Literaria by Dr Kris at end of this post)
It follows and builds on a previous Demokrissy incantation on Sexual Politics and the Culture of Gender Violence. Help Us Digitise and Develop this GloCal Knowledge Pot Resource Ecosystem of Knowledge of the Caribbean and the Global South for the full gallery of work over three decades in gender empowerment.
Follow this Demokrissy quintet into unfolding at The GloCal Knowledge Pot, where archive, performance, policy, and memory collide in EPIC cycles of creativity showing the patterns we repeat, the knowledge we forget, and the futures we must now Consciously Construct. Now let’s move to the meat of the matter: The Jamettry Encore.

The LiTTribute Brochure Read:

Is true oui, Demokrissy on the exported diaspora artistes billboard, again, at Doral Roti Shop, ready to pound she pan backstage where stars are born, of the Crimson Curtain on the New World Disorder of the Rules-Based Order. She didn’t know they move she onstage, where legends belong.

Mathematical Trance-Dance to Cultural Asstronomy
Counting the beaded skulls on she mala-rosary tracing the patterns of the Cosmic Jammetry Encore in 108 to 1008 death cycles of women cut up, murdered, mutilated, disrobed and disrespected.
Tandava trance-dance, repeating the cosmic cycle of creation-destruction that span the divine ratio of rediscoveries kris-crossing between Sun and Earth, Moon and Earth.
From the high energy Cosmic vibrations rippling through the diaspora as nectar of inner energy pouring from Maha Kumbh on euphoric lapping waves.
From dipping in Ganga, cycling through beginnings, births and swirling Manikarnika death ash,
From riding along the Trident contours of Varanasi in vibrational trance-dance from sunrise to sunset onto the Shakti Peeth, Ma Mundeshwari’s all-seeing octagonal eyes peaked on her diasporic offsprings scattered across the world.
Diaspora Muse

Witness to Mas-Mass Massive Ripples
The body parts and locations named and labelled as good piece of real estate, blood of Sati splashed across the seven seas still undocumented Shakti Peeths until the chirren of Ma Mundeshwari drift across the unknown waters and washed up on the island.
They rediscover her, Sopari Mai Shakti Peeth, formed from the blood of Sati that splash across the seven seas, already known and named by the native Tribes as the first mother of the sacred Tribes at whose shrine bow all worshippers since the First Peoples. All, all, all. Big or small, thin or tall. All migrants from all streams. Demokrissy too.
Fingers move along the mala-chain rose-rosary of skulls, counting in Encore 108 to 1008 plus plus in revolving rotating cycles.
Demokrissy bow. She smear the ashes from the Peeth all over she body.

Then she dip one toe in the Lake of Pitch Blackness that Raleigh declared ‘excellent well’, dig it up to paste on leaky boat bottoms, airport tarmacs and walkways through streets of western capitalist democracies from Pennsylvania Avenue to Buckingham Palace, Germany autobahn routeways through India to Japan and Canada roads for cold weather or heavy-T jamming in sunny Caribbean paradise isles.
In the pitch blackness she whole body turn blue-black, behind the mask.
She add an overcoat of Ash from the Shore of Peace on the western edge of the Gulf demarcating the Zone of Peace, then alight atop Mount Naparima oil-source continuing the cosmic dance-trance, wheeling through the night of Shiva, looping in Carnival, Valentine, Holi Ash Wednesday, EID, Easter, Nauratam Devi Worship that culminate in Sopari Mai Fete parade promenade.

Poong it, poong it
gi dem gi dem gi dem
Chaotic Culture Stage, Sans Policy
In full tantric form, She Leading from the Front with mathematical and asstronomical precision, bumper-to-bumper, throbbing cultural vibrations, cyclical looping cosmic chaotic disharmony.
She seeing.
She naming.
She cataloguing the vibrations, seismic needle mapping the invisible archive of cultural memory.
from Mount Naparima she jump straight into the Bowl.
Poong it, poong it
gi dem gi dem gi dem
Down South Skinner Park bubbling hot dhamadhol ke chutney.
Rasika, Shakti vibrational village energy, flagwoman Queen of Chutney traditions, Leading From The Front.

Pong it! Pong it! Pong it!
Rasika damaru-dholak-dhamadhol roasting Roti Shop exported from Siparia to Doral.
All get pound-up like dhamadhol and cut down too, like Sati-Saartjie, in this battery-powered Fem-Revolution in encore.
Small-island ripples, cosmic vibrations. Annual deluge of scandals over Carnival crown soca-chutney tribal delusions. She take the tribal Traditional Crown and still she,
Pong de Dhamadhol Pong De Damadhol
Pong it! Pong it! Pong it!
Demokrissy duck as the Chutney Crown flypast Rasika head, pelted like a teacup from the mas camp-us Parliament of Inequities. It land on someone else’s head.

Skewed Crowns: Black Masks Ash Skulls
The women in she hair dressing salon asking,
‘Who is that who win?’ Dem eh know she.
‘We never hear it. What song?’ Dem eh know it.
‘Who tax money fund the competition?’
They buss out laughing! Uncontrollably. The State have no control over what it funds in the name of the arts, either.
They ponging, ponging ponging and piconging the judges. The Radio ponging only dhamadhol.
Look how State funding used to distort the stated intent. Different teacup. Same brawling Bowl.
When the crowned princess enter asking if they could straighten the Chutney Crown that land on she head, they buss out laughing again, watching each other and Demokrissy knowingly. Encore.
Demokrissy, get the pitch-black hair makeover to mask the ash grey still thick on she skull.
Creation Central
She thoughts get drown-out in the deluge of High Mas of recurring small island scandals. Too much time wasted pounding the halls and walls to secure the Crown Jewels of creative Enterprise.
She go just build she own ecosystem, even if it take a lifetime, one stone in the sea at a time.
Like how Siewdass Sadhu build he Temple in the Sea. Encore.

Migrant Exodus Up East
She drift up East to return primeval energy to she hometown boys and girls in the Panorama Pit.
Is Exodus time, ponging steelpan tuned to Amin Mohammed’s legacy they cyar behave. They take the Panorama title. Again. Ws still celebrating into EID!
She stop to shake hands with she LiTTscapes kid, Josiah in Sangre Grande. Bloodshed embossed in its name as landscape of massacres.
Yet shy lil Josh harness the creative Muse at the WhiteHall LiTTribute Launch LiTTscapes Invocation and jump straight to Grand stage creative star-dom, directing the Monk Music video, Encore.

He gi’ dem, gi’ dem, gi’ dem!

Panoramic Range Up North
Up North against the majestic Northern Range, Demokrissy see Machel on a big truck brigade from Soparia with Sad Guru-Monk Mask, turning and retuning the Mas to a Masterpiece;

Lost Tribe of the Roses
She mala-bead turning and turning and Aare Baap Re!
She finger bump into a rose in the revolving bead tracks.
Road jam up with a lost Tribe of masqueraders, waving rose-rosaries they get for free after paying plenty US$$ for sequins, beads knotted up and G-stringed together by the Sesame Street promenading parade.
Women masqueraders wave flagged pink roses in ecstacy. Amen!

The Savannah battery-charged with violent cultural reverberations, chain-linked roses, rotating broad-bottom British-styled Westminster political tradition,, bumper, bum-bums, commodified bead-by-bead through the imported tinsel-clad gyrating congregation.
The High Tribe priest of Bacchanal, Leading from the Front to match the pulsating Carnival rhythm section.
gi’ dem, gi’ dem, gi’ dem… performance…
Sopari-Saartjie-Sati
Feeling Hot Hot Hot as Hottentot, Demokrissy fingers roll over each rose-skull sequined mala-rosary bead chain-linked all the way from Sopari Peet through Pitch Lake pitches of Raleigh’s Broad-Bottom British politics, to European auction-block science experiments. She hand suspended in cages on stages, poked, prodded and groped, parts cut up and scattered, for séance, science and museum exhibits on a public poke ground. Sati-Saartjie Encore Performance!
