are. I know where they are stored, who brought them in, even when they arrived. I remember too my childhood days of the 70&#39;s. &lt;st1:place st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Jamaica&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Such a beautiful country, devoid of the violence that was first propagandized by the west and that now, to a painfully large degree is true. Damn this point to which we have sunk.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;I remember a calmer, safer more relaxed &lt;st1:country-region st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Jamaica&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. A Jamaica where we slept without harassment, where doors were&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;left wide open so that the sweet, cool Jamaican sea breeze would refresh hot Caribbean bodies with that magic which&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;only a Jamaican could describe. mmmmmmmmmm.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Moonshine baths to bathe us as we walked the roads and hills without fear. Where &quot;howdy and tenk you&quot; was the order of the day. Our patterns of good manners, kept safe for another generation to pass down respect for every elder, even if we didn&#39;t have them for our peers.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;But back to those weapons.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;They came in under the guise of intrigue. They came like “Geeks bearing gifts”. I think that’s the text? The gifts of differing  lifestyles, mode of dress, way of behavior, and manner of speech. &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Weapons&lt;/span&gt; that were made to look like toys. &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Weapons&lt;/span&gt; that brought the thrill of the fast life, the promise of a dream and the adoption by Uncle Sam.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Thus began the priming of the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;weapons&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;The weapons&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;I remember when the introduction of these &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;weapons&lt;/span&gt; began. “The true confessions&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/b&gt;”, people magazines, the rumor tabloids, television and the literature. All designed to weed out good upbringing on a mass scale.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The food that was specially created for our enjoyment, that kept Lab techs busy, pouring in the sugar, the candy, the enticement. Our natural fruits were no longer naturally flavored grapes, apples or oranges. They were now numbered flavor #44, or &lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;pineapple flavored&lt;/i&gt; juices. Meaning someone created the flavor of the fruits in a tank and they were no longer natural but artificial. Yes artificially flavored foods. &lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;Alien food&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;Media, blessed media!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Introduction to debased lifestyles 101 took place on a massive scale. Now that would really kill the masses. &lt;st1:city st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Hollywood&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; primed then cranked the engines of &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;mass destruction&lt;/span&gt;. Psychological inventions and the cultural intent to damage were flung into full gear. They would seep into the minds and psyches of a strong, carefree proud, and to a large degree African Minded people.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;The destruction&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Destruction of principles that once held us together when the going was tough were being eroded. Mass scale destruction of principles that kept our families strong and guaranteed that the hungry would be fed, the stranger would be welcome and any child that was in need of help would be taken in with open arms.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;The weapons leaked upon the masses&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;I remember this well. I remember the subtle ways these &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;weapons&lt;/span&gt; were leaked on the masses. The controversy over a Nash Ville girl ( a 70’s movie) who happened to show more &lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;(flesh)&lt;/i&gt; than we were accustomed to on our TV. Such uproar took place for several days and riled the masses to heat up the radio call in programs. Those for and those against, spoke with passion about allowing or disallowing questionable methods of mind control.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;Violence&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Yet we have always accepted violence as entertainment. After all there were many cowboys and Indians being massacred and karate movies were abundant. Wasn’t this Sam’s way? But it seemed like that was not enough .We got properly introduced to gore and savagery on a level we had never yet seen. There were some gasps and some oooooooos, but that died down in no time and in its stead smiles and laughter when a heart was being eaten and applause for a head being chopped from shoulders. Such was the state of television. And we gladly adopted without questions. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;Consequences&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;But look at us 30 years later. We slowly lost track of what was accepted, what was good, what was polite. What was just.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Now we are more dependent on others to feed us, violent and rocked by a plague that is bent on killing us off.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Images which were trapped in a box in my living room explodes daily on my streets. Drive bys, murders of innocent babies, rapes, senseless killings. in Intense violence in the streets.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Weapons&lt;/span&gt; that were not present in my boyhood days in the 70’s now pollute our streets and the minds of our people. &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Weapons&lt;/span&gt; that are mostly invisible to unseeing eyes. &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Weapons&lt;/span&gt; that destroy the mind.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;If this is not&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;mass destruction&lt;/span&gt; then I ask you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;What is?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://worldofjah.ning.com/forum/topics/how-do-you-wage-war-against&quot;&gt;and how do we wage war against the beast who has unleashed them?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

began searching, this reality&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Is this the truth?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Or created by me?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;What is the evidence of who I am?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Why did I believe you?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Why I went along?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;I’m shattered&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;I&#39;m ruined&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Life never began&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;All because I listened to your cruel song&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;I based my illusions on what you had said&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Created this reality all in my head&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;How can I blame you?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;I built it myself&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;I walked it&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;I lived it&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Faced the fires of hell&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Who can assist me?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;No one here can&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;I started this journey, although it was wrong&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;It is now time to face me&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;And all I have become&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;I am preparing for a journey&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;To where it began&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;This time my lips will sing my very own songs&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;I will change this illusion&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;I will be careful this time&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;AND understand that reality&lt;/p&gt;

We smile big and laugh loud. Our hands move and our bodies sing in rhythmic abandon. We are a friendly people who make you feel right at home and never like a stranger. We treat you like our favorite uncle Maxie who has been away in foreign (land) for a long time and who has returned for a visit. Welcome home!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Rhythm drum and bass&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Music!&lt;br /&gt;Oh yes music!&lt;br /&gt;The heartbeat of a people.&lt;br /&gt;We can’t live without it. If ever there was true religion that would be it. The sweet sounds of Beres Hammond, John Holt, Alton Ellis, Byron Lee…&lt;br /&gt;Countless musicians who soothe our aches and venerate our triumphs. Jamaican music is truly “message” music.

 &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Whether you agree with his policies or not, you just can’t help but listen.&lt;/p&gt;        &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;He is charismatic beyond measure, extremely eloquent as a speaker and for some a messiah of hope. A catalyst for change.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;We can&lt;/i&gt; is heard all over &lt;st1:country-region st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and who knows where else in the world. The possibility of change&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;soars high in the air as it emerges from millions of lips with enthusiasm whipped up by his magic.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;We can&lt;/i&gt; is more than a slogan.

The choke hold that multinational capitalistic companies hold around the necks of hard working individuals. Sucking their lives dry of existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Issues that many of the other messiahs have sought to correct. Issues that the status quo are averse to correcting.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;The road ahead&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;There is a hard upward road to travel, but as he said. &lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;“&lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;We can.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Let us work towards change as one.

Who, what, when,where, how and why.&lt;br /&gt;For example&lt;br /&gt;Who said it?&lt;br /&gt;What was said?&lt;br /&gt;When was it said?&lt;br /&gt;Where was it said?&lt;br /&gt;How was it said?&lt;br /&gt;Why was it said?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://photobucket.com/images/ra&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq92/bettyallen/Ra.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Ra Pictures, Images and Photos&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never blindly accept &lt;b style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;knowledge&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;as truth. Check other sources. If there are words or phrases that you don’t understand, then use a dictionary, use the internet, ask someone. Read up on opposing views. You may find surprising nuggets of truth there. Yes even “the dull and ignorant, they too have their story”. Above all you will &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;learn&lt;/span&gt; to look objectively at a particular concept; thereby understanding why or how the person’s views differ and how to question your own views.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After you have been introduced to all these difficult viewpoint, come to your own conclusions, without allowing your personal bias to override the plain truth before you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These suggestions are by no means comprehensive, but a little &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;knowledge &lt;/span&gt;goes a long way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Truth is simple, don’t complicate it”&lt;br /&gt;Finally if the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;teacher&lt;/span&gt; has not taught then the &lt;b&gt;learner&lt;/b&gt; must still &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;learn&lt;/span&gt;.
