Gargoyle
 
"A grotesque carved human or animal face or figure projecting from the gutter, especially of Gothic buildings, used as a spout to carry water clear of a wall. The word Gargoyle is derived from an old French word gargouille, meaning throat"
 
I equate colonial “governments” as gargoyles, draining the spirit of humanity

We no longer thrust the institution of “church” with its record of murdering MILLIONS since its inception.  No God is this inhumane.  No God condones rape and pedophilia!


~ ~ ~ ~


I went to the demonstration of the native women beneath the gargoyles at Bay and Queen


My sistrin Kelly sent me photos taken by her phone a couple of days ago when I was speaking of the #canada150 gargoyles

I was speaking of councillor Mary Margaret McMahon who insisted on shutting down Afrofest to a single day from a two day festival because of 8, EIGHT noise complaints...

EIGHT noise complaints

White, colonial, loyalists have proven to be inconsiderate cowards, reminding black or native populations of "their place" by imposing their power by outright killing humans

I went yesterday not knowing what to say to these native women camped out at Old City Hall in the midst of white power

These women are asking for life

Broken record yet, $500 million spent on Canada 150 celebrations (including $200,000 for a yellow duck) and these women of first nations continue to disappear and to be murdered

In Canada

Who gives a fuck about this duck?

The color yellow suits the people who revere this white superiority concept

Yellow for coward


All this power and their pet hobby is the murder of Original people

How is that "Canada the good"?

I had to go speak with someone in the camp to get a sense of what I can say or do to help the native children and generations to follow... the children of these white gargoyles needing some love and compassion who are ultimately the people who must elevate this spiritual condition for humanity's sake

LOVE

That's the only weapon these women are using to fight with and Canadian citizens have no love. They do not communicate effectively in the frequency of love so they cannot, will not relate to these native daughters

No "government" will change this condition

They are the ones explaining why the Indian Act was necessary to genocide hundreds of thousands of native people and to franchise the concept to South Africa as Apartheid to murder original people... Africans

I follow RasTafari, a spiritual concept to show love, equal rights and justice to all life. In the pursuit of the protection of humanity I take the time to visit with these people... my people and try to find words to reach the privileged white Canadiasn who can relate to this struggle and show their children, the future of this country, a positive way to elevate all humans on this land that their ancestors brutalized a race of humans to 'colonize' like a virus... a cancer... a gargoyle

The Gargoyle has no respect for women

Gargoyle women glorify the right of their men to abuse them and all other women. Mary Margaret is my poster child for this as there are many others in this role also. Look at the corporate world to find other female gargoyles who actually aid in the murder of native women

Or are they victims of the gargoyles as well?

One 'race' of humans murder everyone including themselves

The gargoyle

We are all aware of that based on the history books that the gargoyles wrote from China, to India, to all across Africa, South America, the Caribbean, the gargoyle leaves a trail of murder called "colonization"

WOMAN

So I know now that the gargoyle's greatest fear must be woman and their nurturing roles in the lives of humanity's children

And we cannot "fight" for change because all the gargoyle knows how to do is the fight... to war

A matriarchal society is developed through love and nurturing

We allow the gargoyle to remove that from our society

The gargoyle is a cancer

The ultimate cancer

This abuse to native mothers is an abuse to all mothers across the globe

Where are the lions fighting for their lionesses?

Lions need to stand beside our lionesses against the gargoyles

We need our feminine energy to elevate all energy including the masculine energy. This is called balance

Haile Selassie I was crowned King of Kings, Lord of Lords, The Conquering Lion of the tribe of Judah, Emperor of Ethiopia and had his wife Empress Menen crowned at his side in 1930

There is no greater example of equality, love and balance in the history of this planet than that day of His Majesty's coronation with Empress Menen crowned at his side

RasTafari must retrain the gargoyle to the ovastanding of balance

As a divorced male, I speak from a fantasy of what I would like to see.  Unable to make a life with a female spouse has not deterred my respect for her as a person or as a role of an involved affectionate father to our children.  As a matter of fact, now that the emotional pain has subsided, we have both maintained a respectful relationship and found a way to co-parent and to still elevate our children

From a divorce we are aware that we aren’t dealing with perfection so the process to elevate each spouse by the other also elevates our children

We need our women to feel strong within their femininity and not to be treated as a weakness as we men also need that masculine freedom

We must celebrate both the masculine and the feminine spiritual energies in full balance
None can be free if we suppress the other

We cannot allow the gargoyle to lead as we have done in our past.  Look at the planet today if you don’t believe me

No change to native life will come from either Stephen Harper or Justin Trudeau or any other white Canadian ‘leader’

It must come from the people

Reggae Love # 2 ~ Big Youth

Reggae Love #2 ~ Big Youth

I was born in Jamaica so I believe reggae and RasTafari were infused into I man through osmosis as well as Jamaica’s rich African heritage through drum, rhythm, song and dance, a base to I n I mandingo soul within I and others since creation

Natural ting

I was then infused with a sense of 'Jamaicaness', meaning that were are blazed with straight, deep honesty within some of our approaches to life situations, morals and integrity and sometimes, if you don’t like the truth, don’t ask a Jamaican the question

This ‘aggressive’ truth has us in all aspects of life and through reggae music I have learned from many of these truth sayers’s lyrical content

One such person is Big Youth

Radical revolutionary, proud mandingo

Rastafari is a natural ting

It flowed through the psyche of the Jamaican population because we are naturally built to fight colonialism

Wickedness in high and low places

When I heard Big Youth as a young teenager playing football with my idrins, we were all inundated with this musical sound - in hindsight, I am now aware that I was 'feeling' the energy of RasTafari flowing through Big Youth and many of the performers of the time - as at the ball park, any ball park but especially up at Golden Aces the music was pumping while we were training or playing a game

Big Youth's freedom was admired by all of us youths

I used to live at Central Avenue / Constant Spring / Shortwood Road and Big Youth used to live nearby and would blaze out to Constant Spring Road on his S-90, locks flying and a huge smile

These many moons later I further ovastand why Big Youth was 'black balled' on radio and I n I respect is even greater

"Cool Breeze" alongside the Paragons is a instant get-up-and-dance tune yet he has too many hits to count

"Every Nigger is a Star" is a musical anthem that should be blazing all over Brazil in the favelas, all of North America and Africa

He turned a hugely negative word 'feeling' into massive empowerment

A living legend to be revered

Five Star Reggae Love to the Mighty Big Youth... RasTafari soldier

Check out the following interview and know the reality of who and what this Lion is
"Cool Breeze" may be a 'baby baby' track but a one mi favorite

​A very soulful rendition

Reggae Love # 1 ~ Toronto Reggae

Reggae Love

In discussion with Jason MacLean of Toronto Reggae, we have decided to do a weekly “Reggae Love” to something, someone, an incident, an artist, a producer, a musician that impacts reggae music positively

Topics can range from RasTafari, Bob, Exco, Jackie Mittoo, Koffee, Jamaica elections, politricks, human rights, love, Africa, Black Panther Movement, more love, interviews, events, domestic abuse, elevation of the village and a HOST of topics... some very famous and some not so famous.  Yet we do hope to maintain some loving, truthful, respectful dialogue, even with the discussion of difficult topics

I find myself getting upset at Billboard Music Awards or the Grammys, two exceedingly well respected institutions in world music culture and I find myself neither acknowledging them or caring about their opinions as it pertains to reggae music

They are not my experts

They do not govern anything about reggae because dem do not know I culture

Big props to Charlamgane tha God for his “Donkey of The Week” or going further back to Chuck Berry and “The Gong Show” except, we will attempt to show appreciation and love to something or someone inspiring to reggae music

This week I start with Jason McLean / Toronto Reggae and his dedication to this genre

Jason is a true reggae soldier who inspires me daily for all of his thankless posts and support of the genre

Daily

Every day

For over five years now, he has dedicated his time to broadcasting the genre to Canadians as well as the a worldwide reggae audience

As a man running Canadian Reggae World for nearly twenty years I have a great insight to what Jason does daily on all social media and the tidbits of information he adds in like birthday trivia and past reggae event flyers / posters and photographs

Posting events weekly, keeping his site updated all by this army of one

Running a reggae record label

Selling reggae merchandise ~ Toronto Reggae t-shirts for men and women, which is an expense from his own pocket while he sells a few, then sits on inventory for months

Buy a shirt

Buy a tee and donate to his reggae work daily

Buy a shirt and spread the name of a Canadian reggae soldier globally because Toronto, Canada is rated like that.  Wear it on vacation please!

Yet nothing deters his determination to grow Toronto / Canadian reggae

Jason does this on his own time.  On his own dime and will do this because of his love for reggae music.  It is the thing that made me a fan of his

Jason McLean loves reggae music

That’s all I really need to see in any reggae soldier

Reggae Love

Because of him and his work, reggae as a genre in Toronto has elevated.  He and Toronto Reggae have increased the voice of the reggae community in ways that folks are starting to take notice

No one paid him to do most of his work

He just does it

Doing similar work for CRW for nearly two decades I can fully relate to what he does and he has made me into a bigger fan of his

His work elevates my work

Bless up Selecta JaMac

I n I sending out a * * * * * (5 star) Reggae Love to my brother Jason McLean & Toronto Reggae
