WWW, May 15 2008 - Why did the early Rastas know, that the shitstem which took them from Africa to work on what one "founding father" called "The New Atlantis", was known by the name "Babylon"?

For there are many names one could give to such a shitstem.

No, it's not "just" the sufferation one and ones have to go through until this very day, even though slavery is said to have been abolished a long time ago.

No, it's not "just" the fact that the name is in the Bible for that very same Bible is used until this very day to keep people in slavery while the many mistranslations are obvious.

And no, it's not even the fact that the one and only king who can claim to be a descendant of King David happens to be the Ethiopian Emperor who named himself after Yesus Kristos to show Who he was representing.

BABYLON OBSERVER REPORT: BRITISH MINISTRY OF DEFENCE RELEASES SECRET UFO FILES

BRITISH MINISTRY OF DEFENCE RELEASES SECRET UFO FILES
BABYLON OBSERVER REPORT



WWW, May 14 2008 - Today, the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) started releasing formerly classified UFO Files. The first batch of material is available now on the official UK Government website and can be downloaded for free during the first month.

According to the MoD's press release at May 14 2008, the decision to release the files is the direct result of the countless Freedom Of Information requests concerning the UFO Files.

The MoD also states that the only interest they really have in the UFO phenomena is "solely to establish whether UK airspace may have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised military activity".

Below is the original Press Release as found on the MoD Website. A PDF is available here. The UK National Archives have also put a PODCAST (MP3) and an INSTRUCTION VIDEO (WMV) on their website.

Ministry of Defence releases further UFO files
A Defence Policy and Business news article - 14 May 08

The first in a series of Ministry of Defence UFO files, dating back to the 1970s, have been released on The National Archives' website today, Wednesday 14 May 2008.

The files include descriptions of alleged Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon or "UFO" sightings and subsequent MOD evaluations of the reports.

The MOD receives a large number of requests each year for information relating to UFOs, and so has introduced a system to meet this demand by releasing these historic files in a structured way.

The released files can be seen on The National Archives' website, see Related Links >>> The files will be available to download free for the first month, after which The National Archives will charge for them.

The rest of the files are currently under review and will be added to The National Archives over the next three years.

To date, independent experts have concluded that there are straightforward explanations behind alleged UFO reports, such as aircraft lights or natural phenomena.

Reports of UFOs are examined by the Ministry of Defence solely to establish whether UK airspace may have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised military activity.

If required, sighting reports are examined with the assistance of the Department's air defence experts. Unless there is evidence of a potential threat, no further work is undertaken to identify the nature of each sighting reported.

The Ministry of Defence has no other interest or role regarding UFO matters and does not consider questions regarding the existence or otherwise of extraterrestrial life-forms.

The MOD now routinely releases information on reported UFO sightings. This information can be found on the MOD website, through our Freedom Of Information Publication Scheme.

MYSTERY BABYLON (115)

Dubroom Online - Edition May 14, 2008


"MYSTERY BABYLON (115)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, May 14 2008 - A well-known quote within Reggae Music: "What has been hidden for the wise and the prudent, shall be revealed to the babes and suckling".

Those who listen to Reggae Music, will often be listening to lyrical works that identify the shitstem by that name Babylon. Bible quotations and other in-your-face truths more often than not accompany such Musical Identifications.

Unlike we, who potentially have all the knowledge we need beneath our finger-tips because of the vast amount of knowledge available on the Internet, the early Rastas and Reggae artists did not come to identify Babylon Shitstem after extensive research.

So, how come the shitstem was identified still?

DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW: YA BASS

YA BASS
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



His name may be listed in the urban dictionary as short for "ya bastard", but don't let that fool ya.

Here is a crucial producer at work!

Ya Bass is connected to the UK Based Jah Observer Sound, who has been around ever since the days of the Punky Reggae Party in the UK during the 1970's. His music reflects that of a veteran in Reggae Music, and should not be missed out in any collector's collection.

CUTTY RANKS WITH STEREOMARS SOUND - SLENG-TENG PNP (1986)
DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW



WWW, May 2008 - Even though Reggae Music isn't quite your average political propaganda mechanism, Jamaican politicians will always try and get some Reggae artist to back them up. Twenty-two years ago, DJ Cutty Ranks tried to raise votes for the Jamaican PNP.

Jamaica -and especially Kingston- has the highest murder rate of the world, or close to that. In other words: in Jamaica you have a bigger chance to get killed than in let's say New York City.

When it's election time in Jamaica, violence increases significantly. Gangs of "gun men" killing each other with guns provided to them by...

When it's election time in Jamaica, the politicians all of a sudden begin to show some interest in Reggae Music. They hire artists and thing to help them in their propaganda.

The video reviewed on this page is a 1986 recording of such an event.

As he rides on the Sleng-Teng riddim, brand new and kind of revolutionary in those days, Cutty Ranks bigs up the PNP. The selector doesn't take his hand of the mixing board and the people love it too.

MYSTERY BABYLON (114)

Dubroom Online - Edition May 13, 2008


"MYSTERY BABYLON (114)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, May 13 2008 - There's basically two ways to get knowledgeable about Mystery Babylon: initiation and revelation.

Initiation comes from the Mystery herself, and Revelation comes from the Most High JAH. He gives it in many different ways, and there is nothing Babylon can do to stop it.

Does this mean, that it takes a supernatural vision or something like that before you can find out just who Mystery Babylon is?

Not necessarily.

Just like initiation can be about anything, from your personal upbringing to your personal membership of the Illuminati or other shady groups, so can revelation.

MESSIAN DREAD - CONSIDER I (ALBUM VERSION)
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW: JAH BILLAH
DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW: MACKA B - ALLEZ LES REGGAE BOYS

MESSIAN DREAD - CONSIDER I (ALBUM VERSION)

MESSIAN DREAD - CONSIDER I
DUBROOM MP3 RELEASE



TRACK DESCRIPTION

This is the 5th track of the Messian Dread album "Showcase".

Moving further into a more Rub a Dub kind of style, "Consider I" is a heartical prayer to Jah. A prayer that naturally follows the lyrics of "Yesus Messiah".

Starting of with a few lines of Dub, in which it becomes clear that this one is faster and more danceable than the previous one. At a certain moment, the horns starts playing a theme and the singing begins.

During the vocal part, there's some Dub style mixing going on as well, but not too much. The more heavy mixing comes as soon as the last line is sung and soaked into a reverse effect that takes you straight into some heavy, heavy Dub.


LYRICS

I need Thy mercy, consider I
I need Thy blessings, consider I
I need Thy mercy, consider I
Can't live without Thee, consider I

Oh Jah, consider I

You came to earth Jah
To set us free
From all this slavery
And misery

You set us free
From satan's spell
And you put us in
The light again

Oh Jah, consider I

I can't live without Thee, Jah
There is nothing without You

I can't live under
Satan's spell no more
I can't stand dis ya
Babylon, no more

Oh Jah, consider I

Without Thee
There is nothing,
Nothing at all,
Nothing at all

Time is so crucial
Dreader than dread
Babylon red hot
Explosions

Things getting out of hands, Jah
and yes you know
Read Revelation
JAH told you so

Oh Jah, consider I

Please come again Jah
With this judgment
Upon Babylon
And pon his wicked one
