MYSTERY BABYLON (102)



Dubroom Online - Edition May 1, 2008



"MYSTERY BABYLON (102)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, May 1 2008 - Although she's in everybody's face, not everyone sees her.

Babylon is a Mystery, which means -among many other things- that many who are working for her, will not even know that they are.

The scientists who work on projects that will eventually make the post-human become part of what is called "society", for example, may not be aware of the real nature of their activities.

On the other hand, there are those that know fully well who they are working for, and they just love it. These are the initiated into the Mystery and believe everything they are told in secrecy.

More Tomorrow...

Give Thanks, One Love,
Messian Dread (Dubroom Webmaster)

AFRICA CALLING (DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW)

AFRICA CALLING
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW




WWW, April 2008 - Reggae Vocal Harmony Group the Wailing Souls sang the word: "Every time you hear the sound of the drum, it is an African Beat". Africa Calling puts more sound to the word in a powerful and inspirational podcast of mainly -but not strictly- 1970's Roots Reggae.

It's written in the first pages of the Bible how Ethiopia was a part of the original Garden of Eden: the "Land Of Creation". Ethiopia, symbolizing Africa as a whole, takes a very prominent position within the Movement of Rastafari and Reggae Music as a whole.

This is where Africa Calling enters.

After opening with the inspirational Abyssinians track "African Race" we go straight to Africa to hear the only non-reggae track in this impressive podcast. We then move further into Nyabinghy, Dub, Roots, Rockers, even Rub a Dub style.

The mother land is calling, and this is her sound.

"JESUS PEOPLE": A SATIRE (CRC VIDEO REVIEW)

"JESUS PEOPLE": A SATIRE
CRC VIDEO REVIEW




WWW, May 2008 - Even without knowing the details about the real people and events (discussed) in the video, the satire "Jesus People" unmistakably shows the hypocrisy, vanity and essential unchristian nature of the Christian Industrial Complex.


A pastor, his wife, and four ambitious artists who want to make it in the Christian Industrial Complex form the backbone of the "Jesus People" story. The pastor guides the artists and introduces them to other celebs in the market where Christianity is spelled Chri$tianity.

Obviously no co-incidence: the pastor looks like Rick Warren and one of the artists speaks about how her former husband ruined her career in the Christian Market before: those in-the-know will recognize similarities with Amy Grant.

But even without knowing (some) details concerning the true events and people that inspired the makers of "Jesus People", the viewer of the video will recognize how little exaggeration is applied. Completely unnecessary, as the Christian Industrial Complex in itself makes a mockery out of the true Christian faith.

Time for a smile, and -when you know yourself to be involved in the Christian Industrial Complex- perhaps time to realize how blasphemic this complex is, in reality.

For it is obvious that the makers of the video know the difference between the Industry and the faith better than many who call themselves "Christian".
