311 Judas

We are designed to keep each other down

It isn’t just being competitive to strive and to aspire to our best selves and our best earning power, it is also ingrained to step on others in order to keep them in their place/s or push them further down

It is why 311 works so well

It has power, directly to those who “govern” us.  Each coward justifies their avarice and greed even if they have nothing to gain, except for the personal satisfaction of keeping someone else down

We NEED to make absolutely sure that no one but us rises to the fore

The money game

You need the right contacts as well as the right formula to elevate

The money game isn’t about the love of money.  It is about status

Status known or status perceived or just perverse personal satisfaction

Yet status is acquired

There is constant, daily, personal pursuit of this elusive status when you are only one of the seven billion ants / sheeple, statistically with zero chance of ever elevating your station from teenage years to retirement, so instead of only seeking status, we engage in pushing down total strangers, friends, relatives, siblings and even our own children

I thought of the type of coward who would call 311 and realize that it is most of us

Throughout the histories that we leaned, we are believe ourselves to be the heroes we glorify but most of us are not

We are Judas

“I can’t make it, but if I can help it, neither can you”

In all households globally there is one, two, or three of these Judas

If this piece bothers or offends you in any way, good, I am speaking directly to you

Judas

To many, this is actually a badge of honor creating what they hope is a better, cozier relationship with those that run the government or the law.  They are aware that the law is the power, so why go against it, even if it is unjust

Judas role

311 is perfect for Judas.  He or she can anonymously make the call and watch from a distance, glorifying themselves as the target of the call gets “the law”

Cowardice personified

Judas sleeps well that night knowing they did their Judas-duty.  They were able to keep another total stranger or someone we know personally in their place, or push them further down

Emotion

This is how the so called one percenters manipulate us sheeple

They make us so angry we emote, instead of stopping the subject of the anger

Kill a nigger before the whole world and get  them screaming and marching, burning and looting, hiding under the bed, walk around in fear daily as a police car rolls by, facebooking our frustration/s, spend hours talking to friends and family about this new crime

Name them... Amidoo Dialo, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Lester Donaldson...

But they don’t stop do they?

We call these people demons and evil in an attempt to identify them for our notions of God.  God will get them for us.  No He won’t sheep

Step aside sheep, this isn’t a job for you

Yu nuh mek fe is.  Yu too soff

These evil people kinda enjoy you calling them evil actually.  More than insulted, they feel a sense of joy, a compliment even.  We are so superstitious in our fear of evil, it continues to give them the edge that they need to continue their evil

Go near them and they are protected by the police who they pay handsomely and give them power over the herd

When stressed with emotion based on world collapse from covid mismanagement by governments yet actually feels like a narrative of the evil, we wonder how we will survive the coming apocalypse

Our emotions blind our ability to go directly to the source

Emotion blinds

Emotion confuses

Human thing

In a loving space the dishonesty of the evil coward works best... it runs our emotions to the peak because we sheeple trust them from birth

We all trust them

The Hippocratic Oath.  It took me a minute to realise the connection to the word hypocrisy and Hippocratic

Emotion towards big pharma clouds our judgement very successfully

Some doctors, pharmacists, oncologists will hate on this but they are a part of the Hippocratic process hence have lost my trust and respect.  Funny thing is, some have already figured this out and left their various professions to focus on true healing.  They ovastand that fighting big pharma is futile so they do what they do in their own families and communities

This becomes dangerous work if they are found out

Hippocratic Oath

They do not hide what they do

Emotion blocks any ability we may have of effecting change on these folks whose systems seem quite complex and unbeatable

Emotion destroys our ability to move them, even if we know them

Venting as usual

I have no answers ever

I realize more and more that I don’t know much.  An expert on nothing

But emotions come over me as well
​
So when I feel it, I write

Division

10/13/2020

I don't know the artist but this is beautiful... who is this?
Division ➗

This is the most successful of the babylonian construct and its success is dependent on the cooperation of each of us

We enthusiastically comply

First we jump on "the point" like vaxx / anti-vaxx, racism, sexism, liberal, conservative, mask / anti-mask... you get the picture and we discredit the intellect or personality of the opposing points of view, with hate and venom

We then choose like minded ones who agree with us, to confirm how right you must be to have so many agree with you so those who do not agree must be idiots

The division weakens us because it leads to anger and violence

We are currently more hateful hence weaker as a species

Toxicity is now our norm

Discredit the character of others in a hope to elevate self

Weak

This is weak behavior and it is highly prevalent in this time

"I'm right and everyone else is an idiot"

Weak

We have raised weaker and weaker generations over the past 100 years.  The erosion of empathy, compassion and humility is totally complete

We have succeeded in weakening the morality of the human race

If we listen to the Christian faith, this has been predicted a long time ago and this is totally natural, on a path to "end of times"

I write this because I too have this burning anger constantly from the abusive behavior of racism so ingrained in the global psyche.  I am pissed daily because many expect me to accept their hatred

Some have this anger because they are female and live in a globally abusive pattern of behavior that is centuries long

There are many other abuses too numerous to mention but we only have time to focus on what irks us most hence we have zero tolerance or patience for mental illness, unemployment, homelessness, climate change or any other distraction that doesn't pertain directly to our existence

Division

We have been successfully divided so conquering is easy

It takes a loving path, a spiritual strength that we no longer possess as a species to get over this hate and venom

We possess this humility and love individually but won't use it because kindness is viewed as weakness.  We must wear our masks of anger and hate so folks are aware that we aren't to be fucked with.  No time for love and empathy

Seems futile, I'm aware

I write always from feel and no, the information isn't new yet always trying to reach someone (a bunch of some ones) who see and feel this, who have the ability to redevelop humility and love, hence greater integrity among humans across the planet

Words

They do feel and sound futile within the onslaught of venom and hate yet my loving energy still exists so I keep communicating

Love, the word so many use as the beacon of hope and it is definitely that yet we can't wait for the herd to figure this out and move together because that will never happen.  You / we need to make an individual choice to do this

It takes individual integrity and honor to move on this path

You and only you

Music

The weaponizing of music

Those who tell me “conspiracy theory” you are correct

For those who live this with me, keep reading

They created “intellectual property” monopolized the marketplace trying to control a spiritual entity that music obviously is

It is written with souls, communicating to other souls

Lyrics at times

Dub

Guitar

Sax

A spiritual message given to one soul and it connects to other souls

Music my people...  You know what I’m saying

They allow us to aid them in controlling the market with our access to music on any platform available

“The Message” is in the music

They know this

They are successfully shutting it down and then squeezing though the eyes of their control.  No spiritual messages will reach the people if they can help it

And we are aiding them to achieve this

I most certainly am

I’m currently listening to a mix on a CD by Deejay Scootz, with songs on it with Morgan Heritage, Chronixx, Jesse Royal and mush more

A CD

I did not pay any of those individuals.  Scootz is sharing a musical love and energy that he knows that I need and I have wrinced this mix for three days now.  In between playing this I’m on YouTube listening to any unlimited amount of music as some spin vinyl while other on Spotify and SoundCloud and MixCloud.  We are aiding the machine

What is the alternative?

I have no clue

I’m just writing some feels and thoughts

Maybe someone else sees this as I’m seeing it and I get to ask the question as they create the answers

The machine uses the largest show promoter to crush the rest of the industry

All of this is news to no one

We are the music

Controlling a spiritual entity is not a possibility

The words are put to all who feel this like I do

"I Don't want to Die"

I don’t want to die

The last words out of the mouth of a 17 year old who was shot recently.  I learned this on the phone today from Louis March

These are your children

Your children

Our babies are beset by a dark energy giving finance and firearms, in a belief that they have true power, all be it for a fleeting moment, before they are murdered

Your politicians and police are a part of this dark energy, facilitating our children with this “power”.  This isn’t about bad parenting as much as it is a level of helplessness, out of a system set up by corporations, as most treat it as a “conspiracy theory”

Tears in my eyes as I write the words, picturing any of my babies in that predicament, saying those words as their life essence leaves their bodies

I don’t want to die

Ovastand the situation

You cannot relate to this level of elevated hate.  Hate of the rival infused by a hatred of self, preyed upon by the colonizer corporations, using our children as fodder

Talented, beautiful children

Jane and Finch, Rexdale, Scarborough, Malton, North York, Brampton, Sauga, wherever

Talented, beautiful souls, living hard and dying harder

Picture yourself or one of your children in that predicament

Most live in dread and fear constantly

This is no life

And this is all some have

None of these places or these children make guns!  They are filtered in by the most corrupt of all systems they we are all helpless against because it comes from corporations paying our officials to continue the murdering.  It is an investment to corruption

Our children

My instincts lead me to believe that John Tory is an integral part of this corrupt system

We won’t ever see change with this clown in office

Some of you know this truth yet feel helpless like I do

All I can do is to write about it

The degradation is deliberate in order to keep us angry

Systemic

My observations of John Tory’s work towards the community let me know that this politician is a part of our problem

Not blaming Tory though

He is a small part of the corporate corruption.  A pawn in the system!  The power is higher than him

Jamaican, Somali, Ghanaian elders, parents needed to reach these children who wish to live

The shitstym is set up to deliberately take out our youth

The system / government depend on the profits of the murder of black children.  Death makes money for the system
{Police, forensics, first responders, doctors, surgeons, nurses, medical expenses, jail housing, funerals}

Each death / shooting pays all of these people and more, which is all profit to the system

~
Note how many times I used the word helpless or helplessness

~

More from the convo with Louis:

You will find that if you love your children, you will love many children

If you loved your childhood, you would want that for all children

~

“Stay home”, is the standing order in Jane & Finch today

Do not go for walks in that community or Rexdale for that matter

This is not new

Many are aware of this truth

~

“Why are we not speaking about Regis?” I asked Louis?  A young woman thrown of a twenty four {24} story building by “the system”.  How is this investigation going?

~

“The postal code in which you live, dictates the quality of life that you live in Toronto” Louis March

Look into what that truly means
~

“Why are we forced to think about dying?”

“I fear living more than I fear dying” 15 year old to Louis March

The system has won... Our children are helpless

​The Hypocrite Within
 
Who are you?
 
Why are you awkward?
 
Everyone else seems so at ease, happy, interactive and getting along
 
{Is this the moment I tilt my head back with laughter and get right back in line so no one notices my awkwardness?}
 
Pretending all is well, every place you go, yet still fulljoying amazing experiences along the way, parties, clubs, concerts, family gatherings...
 
Who is the real you?
 
What is the real you?
 
We all sense your fear
 
We can see exactly the fraud that you are
 
You are afraid the real you does not measure up
 
The hypocrite knows the road code
 
The hypocrite kicks in with the anger and boldness
 
Pretend bravado
 
The hypocrite is a vaxxer / masker
 
The hypocrite is an anti-vaxxer / anti-masker
 
The hypocrite knows the story makes no sense yet chooses sides in a ton of distracting arguments and conversations
 
To fear certain scary futures is too much for the hypocrite
 
You choose the safest side or the side that moves with your reality
 
The hypocrite fears the truth of helplessness of an insignificant existence of one eight billion... more or less
 
You believe in fate as well as randomness
 
The hypocrite within makes the best of this current existence knowing you are getting played but must choose a side continuing organized abuse of humans
 
The hypocrite saves our psychological health by creating safe existences
 
One in thirteen people is a Judas if I go with biblical math
 
You trust nothing and no one because that’s a lot of Judas’s calling 311
 
You know that you are being lied to
 
You feel it
 
The fear is real
 
Helplessness against the organizers
 
You go along to get along
 
Through all of the hurts and pain, somehow you feel grateful for your life anyway
 
The hypocrite is helping you to survive
 
~ ~ ~
I am of course having this conversation with my third person

Rights

The only “right” we need to tell our children is the that it does not need the consent of any other human

No man can give any man rights

Stop asking for them

Live

Intelligent words mean nothing to the colonizer coward... stop talking to them

Yes they control the global marketplace in every and all aspects, so we do feel like we must ask permission to live.  That’s what it feels like to many; black and white

The human spirit is a universal gift.  It is not man made so it does not need permission from any human

Abuse

Abuse is used to maintain order

They call it “the law”

The law has nothing to do with neither honesty nor integrity.  It is a construct of those who need the human race to be weak and dependent, easily distracted and compliant

We are compliant

We are afraid

“Everyone wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die”

We are weak and hypocritical

We blame each other for getting this all wrong and argue for others to follow what we believe to be a truth.  We abuse and insult each other, each walking away exasperated that “everyone else is so blind”

We are all blind

We are all abusive

We are all scared

Fear

It truly brings out our worst energies and traits

Your “right” is to complete your task

Your task of living your best life

If misery makes you happy, be miserable.  That is your task

My right is life

It does include the daily abuses in the news, governments, laws, officials, ceo’s, presidents... laws

A butterfly flits by and does not know or adhere to any man made laws

“Be like water my friend”

The suffering is hard to know about and to not have it affect our very souls yet we must live to our fullest, encouraging others to do the same

Rights?

Such a confusing topic for me, as being a part of the herd of sheep, I am as brainwashed as the rest, indoctrinated into our court/s of law which are set up to degrade humans

Yet we trust the court system?

We have no need to fight for rights

We need to focus on “murder by law”

“Buck busting”

This was the practice of the colonizer plantation owner of sodomising male slaves while the other slaves were gathered to witness which had the desired effect of scaring those gathered

Control through abuse

Breanna Taylor

George Floyd

Lester Donaldson

Murder by law

Modern day buck busting

Rights?

As a black person, you may know what ALL of “your rights” are but the trick is to get the colonizer to give a fuck about them, which they never have and never will

Rights

Distraction

While we “fight for our rights” we fall for the deception for no man owns any man’s rights

Freedom is personal

We must individually choose freedom

It cannot be given or taken away as it is a deeply spiritual energy within all humans

Your spiritual upliftment is obviously personal.  We let in the energies that we choose to dwell on; positive and negative

Living free is difficult to explain because I don’t know if any in this generation ovastands if we are actually free

It is obvious to many that we are far from free... physically as well as spiritually yet the only freedom is within the spirit that we all have the ability to affect

Whatever the external / physical distractions, we choose at times how to deal with each event

A free spirit chooses a path to peace and serenity

An enslaved spirit knows only abuse

See and speak the truth to self

Not your or any other perception

The truth

Speak truth to self

Freedom lies within this truth

Rights

You have a right to be free to connect with the universe as only you can

Your rights are you

Preserve self

Self love shines out to the community and builds more love

Rights are our distraction

No need to fight for a thing that cannot be taken by any man

Again, I write from feel

Jah'Mila from Halifax, NS ~ Reggae Ambassador

8/27/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
It is nice to meet 'new' talent.  Only new because I'm just now learning about this reggae, musical veteran, thanks to www.torontoreggae.ca who introduced me to this young lady's works

From her Bio

​​The Soul
​
Jah’Mila, born Jhamiela Smith in Kingston Jamaica, has been a beacon for Jamaican music and culture with her talent for singing and positive messages of hope. Long playing the role of reggae ambassador, Jah’Mila has been sharing international stages with the likes of The Wailers, Groundation and grammy award-winning reggae band Black Uhuru, including Sly and Robbie, for over 10 years.  Being born into the very roots of the reggae family tree, she bears high respect for the craft and understands the importance of her role in preserving and performing quality live reggae music. As the daughter of internationally respected musician and Wailer alumni, Earl “Chinna” Smith, music became an inseparable part of her life from an early age. She was born with a melody in her heart and a fire in her soul.
 
The Sound

Drawing influences from towering reggae legacies like Bob Marley and The Abyssinians, as well as jazz and contemporary icons like Nina Simone, The Beatles and Lauryn Hill - Jah’Mila strives to create music that is lyrically intelligent, masterfully delivered, tastefully arranged and undeniably inspiring. Her signature track ‘Reggae Soul’ is a rhythmic representation of her musical style, in which she interlaces her deep reggae culture with notes of jazz, r&b and soul.
Jah’Mila’s band is comprised of a team of extraordinary musicians who have been playing together for years. With the unbeatable drum and bass foundation laid by Paul Keddy and Alec Frith, coupled with the grooviness of Richard McNeil and Charlie Benoit, the band captures the true compelling and electrifying energy of Jamaican dub. This musical synergy mixes beautifully with the soulful melodies of Sean Weber, making the band’s performance a true musical delight. Kristine’s harmonies are like a cherry on top!
 
The Journey

She has traveled the world on the wings of her voice, performing on major international stages like the Umoja Festival in Oakland, California, the Afro-Pfingsten Festival in Winterthur, Switzerland and at KulturPunkt! in Flawil, Switzerland to name a few. In Jamaica, she has graced stages such as the Jazz and Blues Festival and the Children of Icons show that was hosted by the country’s Ministry of Culture and Entertainment. Most recently, she has been performing with her full band in her new home Halifax Jazz Festival, Black Top Ball and Makin’ Waves in her new home of Nova Scotia. Jah’Mila was listed in the Top 5 of the Casino Nova Scotia Artiste in Residence Program in 2018 and was invited to sit on Music Nova Scotia’s International Women’s Day Panel in February 2020. Her music was also showcased at the 5th Annual Caribbean Diaspora Multicultural Celebration at the Halifax Commons and also at the 2018 and 2019 Nova Scotia Music Week showcase in Truro, Nova Scotia.
Since moving to east coast Canada less than 4 years ago, she has been blessed to collaborate with many local Maritime talents. She has done original work with Dub Kartel, Pineo and Loeb, Kim Dunn and was featured as a guest artiste for Symphony Nova Scotia’s Black is Beautiful series show in February 2020.
 
The Mission

Jah’Mila is content to keep herself in work mode - seizing all her musical opportunities as they come. Well equipped with over a decade of industry experience and with the amazing support of her musical team, she is now poised and prepared to stand in the center of every stage in her new hometown of Halifax. Her first LP release, set to be released in fall 2020, will be a spirited and affecting collection of reggae soul tracks with messages of love reverberating through every note.

Celebration of His Majesty  on Reggae Lane ~ A Quiet Gathering

“We desire nothing but peace and the opportunity quietly and without hindrance to arch to the path of progress” ~ Haile Selassie I

~ ~ ~​

I visited Reggae Lane today, Saturday, 18th July, 2020

I saw the lane way in its full glory

Garbage, street people, stale piss in the ripe hot sun

One might believe this space is not the spot to celebrate His Majesty in its current state and I empathize with those who feel that way. 

I respect that thought very much

I respect that you may view this as an insult to reggae as well as to the Emperor

I hear your truth

For me it makes me more determined to see the lane way elevated to what it purpose truly is and supposed to be, which is to honor reggae’s contribution in Little Jamaica and Canada

I ovastand if you do not wish to be a part of a seemingly disrespectful affront to the business community as well as reggae music in Canada

Drug users, garbage and stale pee

His Majesty’s teachings are strewn through the lyrical content of the music and it is with that pride I bring his love and his energy to this historic place, Little Jamaica... Reggae Lane

I see the millions / billions spent right across the street on the construction of public transit

Billions in insurance as they go months and years late on the construction

RasTafari as our guide

I n I hope is to gather with like minded humans who see this for more than it is

Set up a support system for the street people and the street hustlers as they are our human family

A humble, peaceful love to be shared with / among ourselves who see this lane way of reggae for its true potential

No fuss or fight with those who don’t feel it

I have no quarrel with your opinions or beliefs

I see Reggae Lane as a pathway for what is considered as “urban” culture, jazz, blues, reggae, roots, hip hop; a path that many of our youth already follow

Creating our own path through these current challenges and obstacles placed before what is considered as the “ethnic’ community

His Majesty is peace

I have no plans for performance but if some brought drums, horns, or guitars, the music is appreciloved

If there is no sound, that is also fine

I have asked Ras Naphtali as well as Louis March to say a few words to whoever is gathered as I trust both with their council to their communities

1:00pm – 3:00pm


​~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 


​BILLIONS spent right across the street

​Grateful to step up on this leg of this Canadian reggae journey

​You can't smell the urine but you can feel it

​His Majesty and reggae music must show and shine to elevate the pathways before us

There are even more degrading shots that I could have taken but I chose just these

​We call on RasTafari on his earthstrong as we must
