THE PUM PUM PAPER By Fabian Stennett

The Untouchable Power of the Pum Pum: How It Built Empires, Broke Kingdoms, and Bankrolled Hustles. By:  Fabian Stennett — “Pum Pum Prophet”? 😏] Let’s be honest: if you think world history was built on strategy, guns, and politics alone, you’ve been reading the censored version. Behind the crown, behind the throne, behind every great man who mysteriously started making wild decisions... there’s one undeniable truth: The pum pum has always been the real power behind the power. Remember Helen of Troy? Yeah — they said she had “the face that launched a thousand ships,” but we know what really launched them. Kings risked it all, wars were fought, nations collapsed. All because of one woman and her sacred, unmatched pum pum. Cleopatra? Sis had Roman generals fighting wars AND writing poetry. That’s queen-level coochie control. Don’t play. Fast forward a few centuries and step into the concrete jungle. The story shifts, but the influence doesn’t. That same power was now building homes i...

A Call To Action By Fabian Stennett

  --- Southern St. James in Crisis: A Call to Action Decades of Neglect, A Community's Plea for Change By Fabian Stennett Artist & Cultural Anthropologist | Chief of Furry Town Maroons --- Introduction: The Crisis That Won’t Go Away In the southern belt of Jamaica’s St. James parish, beneath the shadows of lush mountains and rich cultural history, lies a truth that the nation has too long ignored: a community crying out for survival. For over four decades, Southern St. James has been mired in neglect—without consistent access to clean water, facing crumbling infrastructure, and burdened by failed political promises. It’s a quiet crisis, overlooked by the headlines, yet resounding in every household, every empty pipe, and every sick child. This is more than a story—it is a call to action. --- The Weight of Neglect: A Generational Burden Walk through the districts of Cambridge, Maroon Town, Bickersteth, and Welcome Hall, and you’ll hear the same refrain: “Wi cyaah get nuh watah.”...
