	Bernard Coard and the New Jewel Movement
		The tragedy of the New Jewel Movement was not a Stalinist coup.
		The New Jewel leaders who are still alive, are being held in a 17th century prison, where they were tortured for nine years.
		Perhaps we can find some commonality on the notion that the New Jewel leadership should not be in a seventeenth century prison, after fifteen years and a corrupt trial which denied the accused the ability to present evidence.

	New Jewel Movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The New Joint Endeavor for Welfare, Education, and Liberation, or New Jewel, was a Marxist populist political movement in the Caribbean island nation of Grenada and the ruling organization of that country from 1979 to 1983.
		The New Jewel Movement (NJM) was formally established March 11, 1973 with the merger of the New Joint Endeavor for Welfare, Education, and Liberation (JEWEL) a rural activist group and the intellectual Movement for Assemblies of the People (MAP) led by young lawyer Maurice Bishop.
		The New Jewel Movement was led by Maurice Bishop, a charismatic figure who came to power in Grenada in 1979 following a period of instability which had occurred under the previous regime, led by Sir Eric Gairy, whose rule had grown to be increasingly paranoid.

	The retrospective history of Grenada (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		On March 13, 1979, the New Jewel Movement under the leadership of Maurice Bishop organized an armed uprising against the U.S-backed dictatorship of Eric Gairy.
		The social character and ideology of the New Jewell Movement.
		Given the history of infiltration, destabilisation, military force and cooptation by the U.S. in the region and the stated policy of preventing ‘another Cuban model,’ the assasination of Bishop by a faction of the New Jewel Movement's leadership is in doubt.

	Lasagesse
		JEWEL was headed by Unison Whiteman, a young professional who had return to Grenada with an economics degree from Howard University, Teddy Victor, Sebastian Thomas, Selwyn Stocham, Keith Mitchell (present Prime Minister of Grenada) and Fitzroy O’Neale.
		the emergence of NJM thus represented the continuation of the radicalization trend that had been started in 1970 with young, largely middle class intelligencia of ‘The Forum.’ However, it should be noted that the class character did not prevent the NJM from emerging as the vanguard of the revolutionary movement.
		The NJM did not fit into the mould of the existing political capitalist economy, rather it sought to follow what is known as the non-capitalist path to development or socialist orientation.

		The case style and make-up is one of the two contributing factors to determining the value of a pocket watch.
		If a watch supports an intricate 17-jewel movement, is it more valuable then say that of a 2 or 3-jeweled movement, or no movement at all.
		Lesser-value watches are frequently styled to reflect a railroad version, but authentic railroad watches have an approximately 21-jeweled movement; jewels that are actually small pieces of ruby that originators placed in the movement to facilitate time keeping.

		The trial of 19 former New Jewel members for the murder of Bishop, 39, and ten of his followers was stalled last week by procedural wrangling.

		It all began in 1973, when the NJM formed to oppose the dictatorship of Eric Gairy, successor to British colonial rule, who was as treacherous and brutal as Papa Doc was in Haiti.
		After Grenada's New Jewel Movement (NJM) took power in 1979, Samori Marksman, the late, brilliant intellectual and WBAI producer who later became program director, traveled to the island twice.

	The SWP and anti-imperialist struggle
		In the early 1980s the SWP began to disassociate itself from Trotskyism and to consider itself part of an embryonic new international consisting of the CP in Cuba, the FMLN, the FSLN, the New Jewel movement and other revolutionary groups.
		Since the mass movement continues to impinge on the consciousness of this small group, it is forced to engage with it even as an adversary.
		National liberation movements like the NLF have always put forward a program explaining what they are for, even when they were forced to function in completely clandestine conditions.

		Maurice Bishop was wrong to have overthrown the constitutionally elected Government of Eric Gairy and, instead, should have continued to seek to put his New Jewel Movement’s popularity to the electoral test, no matter how brutal Gairy’s Administration may have been.
		Bishop had been overseas for a while and on his return to Grenada found that he had been deposed by a Bernard Coard-led faction of the communistic New Jewel Movement.
		Had Maurice Bishop and his followers found and were in control of the arms and ammunition, there would have been a massacre, and the Americans would have intervened, militarily, against Bishop and his tarnished Jewel Movement.

	Foreign Policy In Focus Special Report: The U.S. Invasion of Grenada: A Twenty Year Retrospective
		Receiving independence in 1974, the island was ruled initially by the despotic and eccentric Prime Minister Sir Eric Gairy, whose murderous secret police--known as the Mongoose Squad--and his passion for flying saucers, the occult, and extra-terrestrial communication had brought him notoriety throughout the hemisphere.
		While many of the new airport's construction workers were Cuban, the contractor was Plessey, a British firm underwritten by Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's government.
		In short, Grenada under the New Jewel Movement was reaching a dangerous level of health care, literacy, housing, participatory democracy, and economic independence.

		Against that background, I was very surprised to be confronted with the disturbing news about the Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs, Sen. Ann David-Antoine, and her face to face with the R.C. Priest at Grand Anse Church, Fr.
		Charles’s sermon was in keeping with his own duties to spread the good news, and in trying to bring his flock closer to the perfection that Christ laid down for us all to try and follow.
		It seems that from the above generalized position, the Minister got the totally wrong impression, and at the end of the Mass enquired of the priest whether he was preaching against her NNP Government administration.

		In March of 1979, a group of leftist radicals known as the New Jewel Movement (NJM) led by Maurice Bishop took power on the Caribbean island nation of Grenada.
		A speech by the NJM Minister of National Mobilization to the Jamaican Communist Party stated that Cuba would use the new airport to re-supply troops in Africa and that the Soviet Union would also find it useful because of its location astride vital sea lanes and oil transport routes to Europe and the Middle East.
		For the Reagan administration, the ties with the Soviets and Cubans, the airport, and the training of guerrillas all indicated that Grenada represented a growing threat to American hegemony that must be dealt with.

		The New Jewel Movement Manifesto was issued late in 1973 by the New Jewel Movement party of Grenada.
		According to Sandford, in August 1973, “the NJM authorized Bishop to enlist the services of Bernard Coard in drafting a manifesto.
		Scholar Manning Marable asserts this: “The NJM's initial manifesto was largely drafted by MAP's major intellectual, Franklyn Harvey, who had been influenced heavily by the writings of [CLR] James.” Another influence is attributed to Tanzanian Christian Socialism.

	African people should not forget Grenada (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		It was 20 years ago that Grenada was a major international news item, as a result of the United States invasion of this African island of 110,000 people on October 25, 1983.
		There are many lessons that the invasion of Grenada taught us—lessons that continue to plague the worldwide African Liberation Movement that are steeped in the efforts of the White supremacy forces to always find some African person to keep us divided and fighting each other, rather than focusing on and fighting the real enemy.
		In the case of Grenada, an African man with whom Maurice Bishop had practiced law and who became the deputy prime minister, was the chief architect of Maurice Bishop’s and the New Jewel Movement’s overthrow that provided the open door for the United States’ invasion of the island.
