"SEE YOU APRIL THE FIRST!" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, March 18 2009 - For today's edition of Dubroom Online, we have a truly crucial collection of free and legal MP3 tracks, straight from the vaults of the producer himself.

When you like (DUB) Reggae, there will at least be one tune that you really, really like and probably much more.

Got some disturbing documentation as well, which you may like to check out when you're interested in the runnings on this planet, no cool runnings at all.

On another note, I'm preparing a brand new DUB Album by Heartical, which will be released starting April the first, when I hope to be back with some brand new editions of Dubroom Online.

In the meantime, see you April the first, or at the Dubroom Message Boards!

INTERNAL DOCUMENTS REVEAL DISTURBING POLICE INSTRUCTIONS

INTERNAL DOCUMENTS REVEAL DISTURBING POLICE INSTRUCTIONS
A BABYLON OBSERVER REPORT

WWW, March 2009 - Recently written documents from the Missouri police, which leaked out to talk show host Alex Jones, show a very disturbing manual which will make police officers believe that everyone who is against the government is a terrorist.

A few years ago, an FBI flyer leaked out wherein people who believed in the fulfillment of the Book of Revelation, the last Book of the Bible documenting the fall of Babylon, were labeled "domestic terrorists". (PDF). A document which became very disturbing indeed after the plains hit the Twin Towers in 2001. It said this:

"Religiously based domestic terrorists use the New Testament's Book of Revelation -- the prophecy of the endtime -- for the foundation of their belief in the Apocalypse. Religious extremists interpret the symbolism portrayed in the Book of Revelation and mold it to predict that the endtime is now and that the Apocalypse is near." (SOURCE)

After 9/11, attorney general John Ashcroft said:

"My message to America this morning, then, is this: If you fit this definition of a terrorist, fear the United States, for you will lose your liberty." (SOURCE)

A message "to America" from the "United States", whatever that may be, but indeed, a message to the whole world as this quote really was the announcement of what in the last years has become a total police state. However, to label people who believe that the last book of the Bible contains truth as "terrorists" wasn't enough for the elite.

Recently, the police in Missouri (USA) had some instructions for their officers. After all, with the growing amount of road blocks where even the military "assists the police" in total contradiction with the constitution of the USA, they really need to know who they are looking for in the fraudulent "War On Terror". The instructions came in the form of a document called "The Modern Militia Movement".

The document, which is labeled "Law Enforcement Sensitive" as an indication for it's explosive nature, mixes up white racists with everyone who is even remotely criticizing the Government. The New Age movie Zeitgeist and Jewish producer Aaron Russo's video "Freedom to Fascism" are displayed along with a copy of the extreme white racists book "The Turner Diaries", for example.

It is obvious, how the police are trained, even brainwashed, into believing that every material which is critical of the shitstem should be seen as terrorist material. When they are practicing their road blocks, they will find a copy of the video produced by a Jewish producer, but due to this document they will think that the video is really a white racist movie and they will see the ones owning the video as "domestic terrorists".

The document also states that the people they are looking for are ones who believe that there is, quote: "a global dictatorship called the New World Order".

Police are clearly instructed to believe that the phrase doesn't exist except in the minds of "domestic terrorists". This in spite of the fact that it's on the One Dollar Bill ("Novos Ordos Seclorum") and used by almost every world leader, most notably George Bush Sr in September 11, 1990, when he said:

"Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective-a new world order-can emerge" (SOURCE)

That's not all, though. The documents also talks about "conspiracy theorists", who "claim" that there is such a thing as the North American Union which would fuse Canada, the US and Mexico into a Europe style super state with the Amero as it's currency. It talks about people who believe that there is going to be a draft in the United States, pretending these plans are not there where they are openly discussed in the media and by the politicians.

Even more disturbing in the document mentioning the implantation of Radio Frequency Identification or RFID chips, suggesting that those who are against the implantation of these chips are related to terrorists. The document states:

"Radio Frequency Identification (RFID): There is a fear that the government will enforce mass RFID human implantations. This process would make it possible for the government to continually know the locations of all citizens." (PDF)

Just after this quote, we can find a list of just about every white supremacist you can think of, including the so-called "Christian Identity" and "White Nationalists".

The document is the most troubling, when after listing all these different groups and thoughts together into the melting pot of just about everyone who has some critical thought, it then continues with the following:

"You are the Enemy: The militia subscribes to an anti-government and NWO mindset, which creates a threat to law enforcement officers. The view the military, National Guard, and law enforcement as a force that will confiscate their firearms and place them in FEMA concentration camps." (PDF)

Note the capital E, here. Note, how the police are already trained to believe that just about everyone who talks about RFID Chips, the New World Order, FEMA and the North American Union, are part of the "militia".

Note, how they say that those who have an anti-government and anti-NWO "mindset" are a "threat"!

Indeed, the document is "Law Enforcement Sensitive". Fortunately, there are still good people in the Missouri Police as they refused to believe the lies and instead sent the material to talk show host and activist Alex Jones, who then released it to the public.

However, the document reveals how right John Ashcroft was when he had his message "To America From The United States": "You Will Lose Your Liberty". For in spite of the fact there are good people, the majority seems to be willing to believe the lies they are told by their superiors.

Documented lies.

THE WAR ON REGGAE (7)

Dubroom Online - March 17 2009


"THE WAR ON REGGAE (7)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, March 17 2009 - No, the War Against Reggae did not stop when Bob Marley was killed and Jamaica subsequently flooded with cokane as part of Ronald Reagan's fraudulent "War On Drugs".

It wasn't over, when many corrupted because of money temptations and others got killed or silenced in other ways.

It wasn't over, after Dancehall Artists signed the "Reggae Compassion Act" where Babylonians dared to define "One Love" on top of several known artist's signatures.

It won't be over, not until Babylon has stopped squatting Jah Creation because Jah Himself will come to establish His Kingdom.

Until that time, we have to face tribulation in one way or another.

"THE WAR ON REGGAE (6)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, March 16 2009 - Obviously, the selection of Obama as the first African American president of the USA gave an initial spark of joy. Soon, however, when the ceremonial rituals were performed, it was business as usual.

One Reggae Artist said that he would now see things in a different way even though he knew, it was business as usual. We know all about that business, we have learned it from the Rastafarians too.

The "War Against Reggae", as I try to define it in this short series of columns (don't worry, it won't be another yearlong series like last year), surely has landed in a next phase, when we see how perception is so much more important than the actual facts for so many people.

WWW, March 2009 - Everybody knows the photo's and video's where Donald Rumsfeld shook hands with Saddam Hussein. Pretty soon, everyone will see the photo's of one of Obama's main advisors having a chat with another well known figure: Osama Bin Laden.

In the Game of Global Engineering, there are many players and they all know each other as they play their wicked games of chess at the costs of the people of the world and indeed, at the cost of creation as a whole.

It's a "Grand Chessboard", according to one of Barack Obama's top advisors, a man with the difficult name Zbignew Brzezinski. After all, that is the title of one of his books. In the 1970's, Brzezinski was the top advisor for then president Jimmy Carter. He is sometimes called "the other Henry Kissinger", and like ole Henry, Zbignew surely has some things on his CV that he doesn't want everyone to know as well.

In many ways, you could look at him as the founder of what is currently known as the Taliban or even Al Qaeda. Sure, there really is no such thing as Al Qaeda, but there is such a thing as Muslim fundamentalists in Afghanistan and we are led to believe that these are the archenemies of "freedom and democracy".

We are also led to believe that the chief terrorist of the world is the leader of this Al Qaeda organization, a man called Osama Bin Laden. He is said to be responsible for just about every terrorist act in the world, and subsequently he's seen as the most wanted man on earth.

Osama Bin Laden, however, is a long time friend of the USA and he was even trained by the US led armies, such as the one in Pakistan. He was also a good friend of a man who wasn't really on the front of the world's theatre recently, but who you can see in the picture below:

Zbignew Brzezinski and Osama bin Laden

Brzezinski can be seen here as he is having a chat with what is now seen as the world's most wanted man. The man who is now one of Obama's top advisors was the man who founded what now is the Taliban and Al Qaeda: the Muslim fundamentalists in Afghanistan that this very same Obama wants to vehemently bomb.

Of course, that other picture comes to mind, where one of the head figures in the Bush administration was caught on camera decades before, as he was building up the system of the dictator that was later called "the biggest threat to the free world" as he had Weapons of Mass Destruction. This one:

Donald Rumsfeld and Saddam Hussein

It's a "Grand Chess Board" indeed. Brzezinski did not only write a book with that title, he is one of the players of this game, a game that has the deaths of countless of innocent men women and children as a result. Being one of the top advisors for the president that so many seem to looking at as the Messiah who will take the USA and indeed the world out of the wars, in reality he is proof of the fact that president Obama is not what many think he is.

THE WAR ON REGGAE (5)

Dubroom Online - March 15 2009


"THE WAR ON REGGAE (5)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, March 15 2009 - That war against Rastafari and Rastafarians is directly connected with Babylon's "War Against Reggae", for obvious reasons.

Even though many do not like it, it's Rastafari that made Reggae become known world wide: just look at Bob Marley who was the most important in this effort to popularize the Freedom Sounds of Jamaica to the people of the world.

Brute force, infiltration, imitation, it's all there. Every trick in the book is used to try and tone down the strong voice of Freedom that Reggae Music really is.

And now, with the recent selection of Barack Obama as the president of the USA, this whole situation has definitely reached into a new dimension.

"THE WAR ON REGGAE (4)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, March 14 2009 - When Babylon went down on Rastafari with open and brute force, it was kind of really clear that Babylon was fighting down the sufferers.

When Reggae began to be a world wide phenomenon, however, the system had to change certain ways and next to pure downpression which takes place until this day, she also infiltrated the Culture.

I've documented such an attempt from the Christian Industrial Complex, where they openly spoke how they would "transform the culture" of Reggae by "injecting it with a new message".

But that attempt was just one example out of many ways Babylon tries to kill a culture that produces sounds of freedom like never before.

Queen Ifrica isn't known to limit herself to Lovers tunes. Her conscious tunes are not the obligated number that many artists seem to play. After all, every Reggae artist has to at least make one tune about Jah or a conscious topic. And surely not all of them mean what they sing...

However, to dismiss lovers tunes is to dismiss the fact that love between a man and a woman is a fact in so many people's life. This one is for them, and for all others too, who love some Reggae Music!

"THE WAR ON REGGAE (3)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, March 13 2009 - The word "dreadlocks" is said to have come from people talking about the early Rasta's as having those "dreadfull locks".

From the start, Babylon has tried to fight Rasta down. And from the start, she did this with brutal force.

In the later 1980's, I was told how the Movement of Rastafari was fought against throughout the Caribbean. I heard how at a certain island, police and army in helicopters would go to Rastaman's camps and kill everyone there: men, women and children.

These things were unknown to many, especially when you consider I heard it years before the Internet became publicly accessible.

When Reggae Music and Rastafari got more and more connected, it should not be of no surprise to realize that Babylon then focused on the music too.

"THE WAR ON REGGAE (2)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, March 12 2009 - Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Lucky Dube: many Reggae artists have fallen prey to the violent and lethal claws of Babylon wearing one of her most ugly faces.

It's just the tip of the iceberg, for if you look deeper and check out the Movement of Rastafari, there is a very long list of suffering.

It is not for nothing that within Reggae there is a mention of "Sufferer's Tunes" and "Great Tribulation". These things are not just poetic wordings of imaginative situations or a style, they are actually references to the situation wherein the Movement of Rastafari was born, and wherein Reggae Music was born.

Reggae Music, first and foremost, is Freedom Sounds for the downtrodden and downpressed. And that is exactly why Babylon hates the music so much.

MESSIAN DREAD SPIRITUAL MEDITATION

WWW, March 2009 - Is the King James Version 100% correct, when the translation seems to indicate that JAH created creation about 6000 years ago, in a state of desolation?

"Yes", say the Creationist. I beg to differ, however.

Creationism", unlike the popular idea, is not "just" the knowledge that creation was created by the Creator. If that would be the case, I could have been labeled a "Creationist" myself. However, I am not. And still, I believe that Jah created creation and no I do not believe that he did that through Darwin, so to speak. I do not believe mankind comes from the proverbial monkey.

A creationist believes, however, using slogans like "the Bible is the Whole Truth", that God created creation in 6 days, about 6000 years ago. A creationist believes in the traditional doctrines that came to us through Augustine, the Vatikan and it's "Reformers". A Creationist believes, that "in the beginning", the first words of the Bible, is also the "first day" of the week described in the first chapter of Genesis.

And I beg to differ, Sirs!

First of all, the Bible does not say at all that "In the beginning was the first day" at all. In fact, Genesis starts with the words:

"In The Beginning, God Created The Heaven And The Earth. And The Earth Was Without Form, And Void, And Darkness Was Upon The Face Of The Deep." (Genesis 1:1,2a)

When you read on, you see that Jah wipes the darkness of the earth and makes a difference between day and night. That wiping away of the darkness is the first act of the "creation week", which I would rather call a re-creation week.

First of all, the word "was" is not necessarily translated in the right way. The word could also be "became". Whether you use the word "was", or "became", therefore, requires more than literally translating the first lines of Genesis.

When you translate the word as "was", you make Genesis say, that Jah created the earth without "form and void", or, as the Hebrew phrase goes, "Tohu va Bohu". This phrase is used in the Bible only a couple of times, so let's take a look where they are used as well.

Let's go to Isaiah, where Jah speaks about His judgments:

"He shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness" (Isaiah 34:11b)

Obviously, since you cannot "create destruction" and Tohu va Bohu does indicate destruction rather than a creative act, it is not right to translate the first lines of Genesis using the word "was" to describe the original state of creation "in the beginning".

But there is more usage of the word Tohu va Bohu. This next usage, also Isaiah quoting JAH, says this:

"For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else." (Isaiah 45:18)

So here we have Jah Himself saying, that He did not create the earth "Tohu va Bohu". And since we already know, that the words describe a situation after the judgement of the Most High, we might get an indication as to what really happened, somewhere between "In The Beginning" and the first day of the week in Genesis.

Jeremiah helps us out. He was taken to that time, before mankind was created. He describes a situation that is in no way like the ones creationists describe when they make God in their image, a God that creates empty things. Take a look:

"I beheld the earth, and, lo, [it was] without form, and void; and the heavens, and they [had] no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, [there was] no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place [was] a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, [and] by his fierce anger. For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end." (Jeremiah 4:23-27)

Obviously, we speak about a situation that is not the original creation, even though Jeremiah is taken to that time when the earth was Tohu va Bohu in Genesis 1:1. It is obvious, that the earth became Tohu va Bohu!

So, now we have Jah Himself saying that He did not create the earth in this situation, we have two accounts that tell us Tohu va Bohu is a situation after a judgement of Jah, and we have Jeremiah who speaks about this time in more detail.

Jeremiah specifically says "there is no man", but he also speaks about "cities". He speaks about a civilization on this planet before mankind was ever created!

Creationists deny all of this. They obscured the translation in the King James Version in the very first sentence of the very first chapter of the very first book, and with that, they have created God in their image: a God that cannot create anything, for you cannot create emptiness.

Now, other than the fact that it is more than interesting to realize that there were civilizations before mankind was created, it is equally so that the God of the creationists is not the God that wrote the Bible in the original language. And not only because it is an oxymoron to "create emptiness".

A couple of months ago I wrote about Sodomy, which most people think is another word for homosexuality where the Bible uses the word heteros to describe what the Sodomites were doing. Here, too, do we see that very same God of the creationists at work. Their denial of the fact that there are more intelligent beings than just mankind, leads to their painting of a God Who makes people pay for His... mistakes!

We see the same God, who is sorry that He created mankind and since He seems to be unable to master time, He can do nothing but wiping out His creation with a flood. That is not the Almighty JAH that I know, that is not the perfect JAH that I know!

We can go on, for example, and look to the battles of Israel against the Canaanites as described in Exodus and so on. We can look at JAH telling the Israelites to kill other human beings, or we can look at the original text and read how these were not human beings at all but descendants of the Nephilim, unholy offspring of angelic beings with daughters of men.

All of this, however, is lost to the creationists who do not seem to be able to grasp that although mankind is created in the Image of JAH, this by no means means that (wo)man is the only intelligent being in creation and that human civilization is all that ever was in Jah's creation.

It is clear, that the KJV is not 100% correct. The mistranslations start already in the very first line. How important is it, to know Jah personally in order to understand just what is written in the Bible, especially when you consider these mistranslations? Asking this question is answering it.

THE WAR ON REGGAE (1)

Dubroom Online - March 11 2009


"THE WAR ON REGGAE (1)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, March 11 2009 - Babylon like to have war talk. She comes up with the "War on Drugs", and since9/11, the "War on Terror".

Gradually, though I am starting to see that there is also a "War on Reggae".

No, the term isn't found in the warmongering rhetoric of the workers of iniquity, but when you look at everything objectively, there is a war on the music that has set so many people free throughout the last decades of it's existence.

The war is fought in many fronts, by different armies. Today, the Dubroom has a rather sad report about a vicious attack on the online (DUB) Reggae Artist community.

An attack that comes from different factions trying to get I and I into a war that is not ours.

One Love, Give Thanks,

AN IDEA...

Dubroom Online - March 10 2009


"AN IDEA..." (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, March 10 2009 - About I week ago, I mentioned in this place that sometimes you're forced to improve as Webmaster/Editor.

Some improvements are not caused by a "crisis situation", though. These improvements usually start with an idea and it can take years before it is actually implemented.

The Dubroom Video Reviews, for example. for a long time, the domain video.dubroom.org only contained a picture saying something like.... "Soon".

In the meantime, there are literally hundreds of reviewed video's ready to be watched.

An improvement that is currently running through my head, is to make an artist page for each and every artist reviewed on the Dubroom.

One Love, Give Thanks,

DEEP ROOTS 6: GHETTO RIDDIM

DEEP ROOTS 6: GHETTO RIDDIM
DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW

WWW, March 2009 - In the last episode of this six-hour Reggaementary hosted by Mikey Dread, we take a look at the Ghetto's of Kingston Jamaica, where the classic Channel One Studio's is located.

If anything has become clear thoughout the five hours that preceeded this last one, it is that Reggae Music is first and foremost a sifferer's music. It has a direct connection with the Africans who were taken from their homeland to build the cities of Babylon, only to have the most of their posterity live in the ghetto until this day.

The camera takes us to the heart of the ghetto. To the mobile record store that features in many books about Reggae. We see the store and the owner live and direct, as he explains where he is coming from, why he is doing what he is doing and what a gwaan.

We meet the Singers and Players of Instruments. They speak about the liberating force of Reggae Music, how Reggae Music is really a Spiritual Music that chants down Babylon. We hear words of hope, words of justice, righteousness. After the reasoning, time to to pick up the instruments and start rolling the tape.

Political violence killed thousands of Jamaicans. Nowhere was it felt like in the ghetto's. The ghetto's is where Babylons downpression comes down the hardest. Two rivaling political parties form the main catalysator of the violence, which can better be described as a civil war.

It is in this situation that we find Channel One. We find musicians waiting for session work, Inside, the Mighty Diamonds record "Right Time". Outside, people gamble.

In the meantime, the mobile record store drives through Kingston and producer Jack Ruby holds audition in his backyard. Vocal harmony in the ghetto's, like no one in Hollywood can ever reach with fancy tricks, not even in this 21th century. The reality of Kingston 12.

The hour, and since this is the last episode, the whole six-hour ends with Jack Ruby talking about the real situation in the ghetto. Speaking about what he is trying to do as a producer, he is surrounded by singers and players of instruments and the reasonings goes deep as world politics (Vietnam) is brought up and politicians using Reggae Music for their own goals.

Deep Roots, originally produced in the early 1980's for the UK based Channel Four Television, truly is one of the best documentaries ever made about Reggae in a time where in the music was formed.

DEEP, DEEP ROOTS

image

Dubroom Online - March 9 2009


"DEEP, DEEP ROOTS" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, March 9 2009 - The "Deep Roots" series that we feature on Dubroom Online in this time, surely gives a good look on the history of Reggae Music and Jamaican in general.

There are several documentaries on Reggae Music, many of them reviewed in the Dubroom, but "Deep Roots" indeed goes deep.

Personally, I like the fact that the scenes are long.

Both interviews and sessions in the studio are in-depth. Unlike many of the video's made today, where things go with the speed of light, here we take some more time.

Of course, this is because in six hours, you can put much more than in the usual one or two hours in the usual video.

One Love, Give Thanks,
