MYSTERY BABYLON (40)



Dubroom Online - Edition February 14, 2008


"MYSTERY BABYLON (40)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, February 14 2008 - Iron and clay...

The two substance don't mix too well. Still, the ancient book of Daniel recorded the Most High describing the last version of Babylon System as such.

The book even goes further and explains just what's going on: "Just as iron and clay do not mix, they will mingle themselves with the seed of men".

Who are "they"?

And what does the last version of Babylon Shitstem, just before her final downfall have to do with "the seed of men"?

More tomorrow...

STEPPIN YOUTH VINTAGE ROOTS MIX
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW




WWW, February 2008 - And you thought "Vintage Roots" would refer to 1970's Reggae Music? Think again: this is the 21st Century and the Paris based Steppin' Youth Sound System makes sure you won't forget that.

Fifty Minutes of rather contemporary Roots Reggae that will even make the Preterists realize that not everything nice must come from the distant past!


In this superb episode of the Steppin' Youth Podcast series, we're not going back further than the year 1990. At least, not until the last minutes of the excellent show.

Still, we at the Dubroom are sure that those who think that the only good Reggae comes from the 1970's will know themselves to be proven wrong after listening to the fifty minutes of Roots and Culture preserved in this Podcast.

The STEPPIN' YOUTH VINTAGE ROOTS MIX brings us some Conscious vocal tracks with their excellent DUB versions, skillfully mixed into one experience. A little extra echo here, a little wheel or rewind there: from the top to the very last drop this mix carries the mark of the connoisseur.

Regular visitors of the Dubroom will in the meantime have gotten used to the High Quality, Deep Roots played by the French Sound System, but those who read this review and never heard of STEPPIN' YOUTH before, have no more excuse.

ROSHTOVARI: WHAT'S IN A NAME?

ROSHTOVARI: WHAT'S IN A NAME?



WWW, February 2008 - Posting on the Dubroom Message Boards is definitely not for the weakhearts, especially not when you focus on the study and meditation of spiritual topics. You might just find someone stealing your name in order to spread the opposite of where you stand for.

In May 2006, that's almost 2 years ago, one member of the Dubroom Messageboards adopted a name that was -to say the least- very original. Ever since, RoshTovAri used this name to post his thoughtful meditations and contributions on a number of websites.

The name RoshTovAri is obviously a sign of respect to Rastafari and to what could loosely be called "Messianic believes" as the phrase goes in certain circles. It's quite an original name, and the chances that someone would come up with the same name are kind of low.

So far, so good...

Just recently, though, RoshTovAri -a student of the Holy Scriptures and it's culture- found out how his name had been hijacked and not just that. He found out, just how his name is even used to spread quite the opposite of what the original RoshTovAri stands for!

Reasons enough to check this out a little deeper, reasons enough for the Dubroom to Ring The Alarm as well.

After doing some in-depth research, the real RoshTovAri found out how the person that hijacked his name fits the description of an agent-provocateur more than anything else. Not only does this person write things that the original RoshTovAri would never write, he also does it in the name of "Orthodox Judaism".

A look to the picture that the agent-provocateur uses on several websites reveals even more. It's a rather frightening picture of a "Ninja" threatening to throw Stars of David at anyone who takes a look.



Here we obviously have a man-on-a-mission and that mission seems to be to create confusion between those that claim to be Orthodox Jews and those who are of the Messianic belief, as the phrase goes to describe ones like the real RoshTovAri.

Apart from posting on websites that clearly state how no one of that Messianic faith is welcome to post, in other words, websites where the real RoshTovAri would never post, he is also very active on YouTube where we can find him using foul language in writing his comments on things about Yeshuah Mashiach (Yesus Kristos, Jesus Christ) like "Schmuck" and "Nut" and even tells people to (quote) "die"...

On other websites, the agent-provocateur claims to be an Orthodox Jew, which makes it even more bizarre. Why would an "Orthodox Jew" adopt a name that is clearly Messianic? Of course, on the Internet "anyone" could claim to be "anything". However, the fact that this individual posts on websites that in their turn claim to be Orthodox Jewish as well, does raise questions.

Further research by the real and original RoshTovAri revealed, how this imitator has been using the name-that-is-not-his' since may 2007. That's about a year after the real RoshTovAri adopted the name for himself first on the Dubroom Messageboards and later on a number of other websites as well.

In an in-depth exposure on the Dubroom Message Boards, the real RoshTovAri sounded the alarm bell and provided all the necessary evidence to reveal how this is indeed a serious situation.

Beware of Imitators, especially when they clearly have a reason to do so!

MYSTERY BABYLON (39)



Dubroom Online - Edition February 13, 2008



"MYSTERY BABYLON (39)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, February 13 2008 - The dream that king Nebuchadnezzar had, showed how the "succeeding world empires" which are usually acknowledged in the school text books are all part of that one system of which the head is located in Babylon.

On the other hand, the dream also shows how there is no mention of "evolution", but quite the contrary. Everything started with gold, only to end in a bizarre mix of iron and clay.

There is something more to say about that mix-up, but for now, we notice that there is no mention of evolution and progress.

Oddly enough, this very same thing can be said about just any "civilization" that has been recognized by the scientists and archeologists. Closer research will reveal, how each and everyone of them... started at their peak!

More tomorrow...

REGGAE NEWS PODCAST #1
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW




WWW, February 2008 - The UK based Reggaenews website has our attention for a long time now. They introduced us to some very interesting artists and bands and with the start of the Reggaenews Podcast we can only give thanks and praise once more.

In just eight titles, of which only one comes without (excellent) DUB version, the first episode of the Reggaenews Podcast takes us back to studios in Jamaica, the USA and the UK.

In chronological order, that is...

And in a no-nonsense style too!

The show starts with a couple of older Jamaican releases, of which especially the legendary King Tubby DUB of Cornell Campbells "Two-Face Rasta" stands out. After a couple of US based releases, we go straight to the UK and listen to some 10" releases by the independent SHEMESH label which at the time the Podcast was mixed were still unreleased.

This is the kind of Podcast that has something for everyone, and the fact that all titles come from vinyl will also be pleasing in the ears of certain ones who can still not get used to the digital sound of the CD.

Get this one while it's still around!


PLAYLIST

1. Twinkle Brothers - Room full all full (Camel 7")
2. Cornell Campbell - Two face Rasta + Version (Barbell 7")
3. Donovan Carlos - Black Harmony (Rawse 7") + Version (Wackies production)
4. Israel Vibration - Rude boy shuffling (Sonic Sounds 7") + Version
5. Steve Santana - Stay off the streets (Twinkle Music 7") + Version
6. Sandeeno - Warning (Forthcoming 10" on Shemesh Records)
7. Afrikan Simba - Mama Africa (Forthcoming 10" on Shemesh Records)

MYSTERY BABYLON (38)



Dubroom Online - Edition February 12, 2008



"MYSTERY BABYLON (38)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, February 12 2008 - According to the second chapter of the Book of Daniel in the Bible, the king of Babylon had a dream.

Nebuchadnezzar saw a big statue of himself. The head was made of gold, the chest and arms made of silver, the legs were made of iron and the feet were made partly of iron and clay.

It turned out, that the different parts of the statue were symbolical for the four stages in which Mystery Babylon would try to achieve the One World Order she craves for so much.

From head to toe, though, we seen a decreasing level of strength and beauty. The two feet were actually made of iron and clay, which everybody knows doesn't mix too well.

PETER TOSH - STEPPING RAZOR, RED X

PETER TOSH - STEPPING RAZOR, RED X

PETER TOSH - STEPPING RAZOR, RED X
Dubroom (DUB) Reggae Video Review




WWW, February 2008 - Based on the autobiographical "Red-X Tapes" only found after his death, Stepping Razor takes us to the life, works, motivation and meditation of Peter Tosh.

Get ready for one of the better documentaries made on Reggae and Rastafari!


During his life, nobody seemed to know about his secret tapes. He marked them "Red X", because, as he explains, he always saw his name on official documents marked with a red X. He knew he was going to die one time for the things that he said...

It looks like the plot of a conspiracy movie, but in realty they formed the blueprint for this impressive documentary, that should be seen by everyone even remotely interested in the Conscious side of Reggae Music.

In the movie, we are confronted with a number of witnesses and facts that throw enormous amounts of doubt to the official story around the killing of Peter Tosh, that says he was killed at a "robbery". Original (bloody) photo's and reconstructions add to what is yet another clear case of a Babylonian Assassination of yet another Freedom Fighter and Truth Teller.

We can hear how Peter Tosh speaks about his childhood, too, when he was terrorized by the Babylonian doctrines of "Christianity". A "Christianity" that told black people, they were born black because of their iniquity and how "Jesus" would wash them "Whiter as Snow".

Obviously, being by far the most militant of the Wailers, we are also introduced to the (spiritual) warrior that he was. Peter Tosh was very much aware of the existence of evil and how only the Creator Himself could protect him from it by giving him the power to fight against evil.

This war of the devil against JAH was the predominant theme in the life and works of Peter Tosh, who is quoted in the movie as saying: "Knowing the Truth is dangerous. You can get killed over it".

No, this is not your average biographical documentary about your average super star. Even though the video also shows his carrier as a musician, STEPPING RAZOR actually goes much deeper than that and the result is one of the better documentaries made about Reggae and Rasta.

MYSTERY BABYLON (37)



Dubroom Online - Edition February 11, 2008



"MYSTERY BABYLON (37)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, February 11 2008 - From the days wherein Nimrod founded Babylon after the Great Flood until this current age of globalization, we can discover a long, unbroken line.

"Empires" came and went, but not really. The culture, the religion, the politicks: everything stayed just the way it was and only changed in details such as the geographical location of the main power centers.

It's in our face, too!

The official version of earth's history speaks about the region of Babel as the "cradle of civilization" and the current globalist era as an "obvious result" of the "evolution of civilization"...
