DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW

WWW, March 2009 - The deep monotone bassline, the massive steppers, the meditative melodica, the human voice and of course the effects: Alpha and Omega return with some heavyweight DUB in Sight and Sound!

In a steady stream of psychedelic video work-out's from UK DUB's very own Dynamic Duo, we get to know Alpha and Omega as standing out within this outstanding discipline within Reggae Music.

This video is one of the most recent additions. Jonah Dan, the well-known UK ROOTS vocalist teams up once again with Alpha and Omega plus Uprising with the usual unusual result.

SMILE, JAH JAH LOVE YA

Dubroom Online - March 3 2009


"SMILE, JAH JAH LOVE YA" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)


WWW, March 3 2009 - In the ancient book of the Kebra Negast and the ancient Ethiopian Book of Enoch, we can read the true reason for the Great Flood, for what the Sodomites were really doing and who the people were that had to be killed by the ancient Hebrews.

The denial of these teachings have led to terror regimes through out the centuries, when people like the successive Popes and reformers like John Calvin institutionalized their heresy dressed up as "Christianity".

Today, we see that these teachings are still alive and very much kicking. It is the massive of "born again Christians" who voted for George W Bush, for example. The millions that are killed in the unjust wars in Iraq and Afghanistan speak for themselves and their innocent blood cries unto the Throne of the Almighty One.

In this edition of Dubroom Online, you can read a report about a group that take the teachings of the so-called Church Reformers until their ultimate consequence.

When I will ever meet them, they will tell me -with a smile on their face- that their God hates me. I will tell them: "Smile, Jah Jah Love Ya"

One Love, Give Thanks,

WWW, February 2009 - In a recent press release, the group behind the website "God Hates Fags" announced their plans to travel to the Netherlands and picket the burial of nine people who recently lossed their lives in a plane crash at Amsterdam Airpost.

What drives these "Christian Taliban" and what can they teach us?

The group is headed by a man called Fred Phelps and calls itself the "Westboro Baptist Church" (WBC). They are often in the news as they go from place to place witch picket signs saying things like "God Hates Fags" and "Thank God For Aids". Special places of interest to the WBC are funerals, perferably that of dead soldiers and those who they love to hate the most: (perceived) homosexuals.

In itself, the group is predominantly one family under the guidance of the patriarch. Their appearance is usually seen as funny or offensive, they're a welcome guest in many talk shows as they guarantee a piece of sensation.

They're an obvious cult, as their website clearly indicates. They urge this visitor to "carefully read every word of this web site, along with the entire Bible", a clear indication they do need to explain a little bit before the innocent visitor can open the Book of Books and, guided by the Holy Spirit of God, read what's in there.

Just recently, the group announced that they would go the Netherlands and hold a demonstration at the funeral of the victims of a plane crash that recently took place at Amsterdam Airport. Cliock for Larger ImageNine people crashed in an airplane from Turkish Airlines in what the WBC sees as a judgement of God because of... homosexuality.

It is unlikely, though, that the WBC will actually be able to physically enter the Netherlands. Recently, they were banned from entering the UK as part of the European War on Freedom of Speech.

However, their Freedom of Speech is not the issue. There are questions more important for those interested in Christianity. Questions such as: how can it be, that the WBC claims how "homosexuality" is the reason for "God" to make a plane crash of Turkish Airlines at Amsterdam Airport?

One word: Calvinism.

The WBC is a rather extreme example of this "Christian" philosophy that has been responsible for terror regimes throughout the last centuries. Regimes, which make the Taliban in Afghanistan look like keepers of paradise.

In a video entitled "What Love Is This", recently reviewed by the CRC, well-known author Dave Hunt revealed some of the terror that Calvinists released on the people they had political power over. But we can also look at the Dominionists, the neo-evangelical version of this form of political Christianity, Sharia Style.

Basically, Calvinists and Dominionists believe that they have to create a "Christian World Order", wherein what the Bible calls the Fruit Of The Spirit is forced on people by law, with extreme penalties in cases of trangressing these so-called "Divine Laws".

We have well-known cases such as Rick Warren teaming up with the President of Rwanda who was recently accused of war crimes, Pat Robertson calling for the extermination of leaders which oppose the United States of America ("God's Own Country", as they say), all of them associating with presidents and others in circles of power.

We also have the Westboro Baptist Church with their "pastor" Fred Phelps and an army of footsoldiers who all love to hate just about everyone that doesn't follow their Calvinist form of "Christianity". Cliock for Larger ImageWith a smile on their face, they will tell you that you go to hell, just because God created you to go to hell. And, as the picture shows, they will even help you getting there with pleasure.

Carnal pleasure.

Carnal minds define the Calvinist and Dominionists. Carnal minds define the members of the group behind the "God Hates Fags" website and church. And no, not just because of their obvious focus on sexuality and frequent use of the word "Sodomites" to describe homosexuals, about which we will talk a little bit further one.

The Carnal Calvinists are spiritually handicapped, spiritually disabled even. They take the Bible, a translation of copies of manuscripts who have been long gone, but it is the only thing they can physically touch with their carnal bodies. They lack the Presence and Teaching of the Holy Spirit, without Whom we can never understand what the Bible actually teaches.

They think, that the Bible is all about the State. They think, that when the Bible speaks about "authorities" and "leaders", when the Bible gives guidelines for Church gathering and spiritual livity in general, the Bible gives this as a commandment to be obeyed by those under the command of the leaders who interpretate the Divine Laws...

They totally ignore the fact that the Bible says all of us are living in sin, and that it takes a spiritual rebirth to be able to receive the Works of the Holy Spirit that makes our carnal sins become less and less important. They claim that the Bible wants people to create states with heavy laws that none can keep, laws which the Bible explains are fruits of the works that the Holy Spirit works out in those who believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ.

Equally, they deny the fact that God did not destroy Sodom because of homosexuality at all. Sodom, namely, is the biggest argument for Fred Phelps and his Calvinist brethren to go around the world and tell everyone that God is going to destroy the world because of "Sodomy" and "Sodomites".

And this is where it gets tricky. Because they are right, the acts of Sodom are indeed the reason the the Creator to come down Himself and Personally downstroy this wicked shitstem.

Therefore, it is extremely important to find out just what was going on in Sodom, even though the answer might not be what your avarage Pastor, President or Priest may tell you.

The Bible uses the word "heteros" to describe the sexual acts of the Sodomites. They were not homosexuals, even though some of them have might been and even though it is true that homosexuality is condemned as sinfull in the Bible. That is not the issue here. The issue is that homosexualioty in itself is not the reason for the Most High to condemn this world shitstem and call her "Mystery Babylon, Mother of Harlots and Abominations". (MORE INFO)

The Westboro Baptist Church is an extreme, and therefore very clear example where a carnal view on the physically tangible Scriptures lead to. Not just to a rather ridiculous idea that is so obviously wrong that they cannot be taken seriously. Not just to an entertaining sight of a dysfunctional family dressed as up a Church.

What this family does, is just a small version of what the Dominionists and Calvinists are doing at large. They would love to impose their ridiculous ideas on humanity by law, just like the fighter jets impose the ideas of the world elite by bombing the hell out of people in the name of that very same "White European Anglo Saxon Christianity".

What this family, this cult dressed up as a "Church" does, is just an extreme version of what carnal minds are doing at large. Without any guidance from the Holy Spirit, not hindered by a spiritual identity caused by a born again situation, they take the Black Book and make their own carnal sense out of it.

They do so to their own judgement. They also do so as an example for all.

Dubroom Online - March 2 2009


"DMB 2.0 (3)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, March 2 2009 - Traditionally, only a fraction of the visitors and readers of the Dubroom Message Boards actually post. They had to register when they wanted to stay up-to-date with the things that are going on.

This is no longer necessary.

Since the new Message Boards have a feed for just about everything someone might want a feed for, you do not need to register at the new Dubroom Message Boards to keep yourself informed.

You can easily follow what's going on by subscribing to a feed in your browser, or even stay up-to-date by e-mail.

Only when you want to post/contribute, is when the registration process gets interesting. A process which is not as easy as in the previous boards, I must admit...

WWW, February 2009 -Unfortunately, the video cuts off just before the end of this impressive 1981 performance. A warning to president Mugabe who just went into power and to the people of the world!

King Sounds, fe true. Even though the performers, both band and vocalists, are pretty much unknown by today's Reggae Lover, each and every one of us will enjoy this Roots Rockers Music, Live and Direct.

King Words, too. In 1981, Robert Mugabe was the first leader of Zimbabwe. Before that, the country was named after Cecil Rhodes, whose scholarships made many people become members of the word elite. People like Bill Clinton. Just Google "Rhodes Scholar", and be surprised...

The tune is called "Forward", and performed over 25 years ago. What was "Forward", then, is "Today" now!

Those who frequently watch the news, know that Zimbabwe is in deep, deep trouble. The western world stands at the forefront in washing their own hands in innocence, while pointing the finger to Mugabe. Not really the picture that King Sounds and the Israelites had in mind, over 25 years ago.

They did have a warning, though. There is a thing, to never forget: Babylon is always looking for the riches of Africa and Africans, and will not stop doing so until JAH will finally downstroy her.

History, by the way, tends to repeat itself...

Each thread has it's own RSS Feed and e-mail subscription button. Each forum has so, too. And lastly, there is a feed for all new topics in DMB 2.0, so you can stay up-to-date with anything you want without having to register.

Unfortunately, though, those that wish to continue posting on the Dubroom Message Boards will have to register at the new site...

WWW, February 2009 - What happens when two of the Top UK DUB Producers join hands with a crucial vocalist and video maker? Exactly, that's what you wanna see.

hard stepping, militant beat is one of Russ D's specialties. Together with his collective The Disciples, he's caused several earthquakes in dances all around the world. Just like Alpha and Omega, the Dynamic UK DUB Duo that chose the deepest bass as their trademark.

In this video, they join hands in what has become a massive track, massive among the massive that is!

The accompanying vocal and video work is of the very same quality as the excellent track, altogether forming an experience that on one hand is way to long, but on the other hand also wants you to watch the other Alpha and Omega video's, reviewed by the Dubroom or not.
