The Earth Most Strangest Man: The Rastafarian by Mortimo Planno | |
I an I view the situation as a test to see how much resistance
I an I in kingston could offer. I an I discuss at various
meeting what was going on in Jamaica between the police and Rastafarians Since the
Police trying to get Sympathy from Society. Society was in great Sympathy with them
for the opposition was still as a mouse about the massacre, but the Union got involved
through there J.B.C. workers who was fired. Demonstrations marches and Threat of
organize voilence The P.N.P. as Parliamental Opposition said nothing about the killing
more than it was unconstitutional to bring out the Army under Such operation. No
one to Represent those brethren who were charged with all the charges in the Book.
I an I being non political did not expect any one of them to offer their Services
although there was much speculation to one politician who Try to identify himself
with the Rastafarian and all African Question in Jamaica politically trying after
black voters. Faith prove itself a substance and prayer
prove itself the Rod of Correction: Bustamante Both eyes had to be worked upon and
he had to take his bed from that time on. We pray and prayed for the I an I Know
that the Judgement of the Lord is Sure Righteous altogather, One Day Bustamante went
to the Caymanas Park Race Track as Soon as I an I set eyes upon him, I an I ask Jah
Rastafari to show himself for here comes Nebuccanezziah. While the Jamaican National
Anthem was played it began to Rain and before the Anthem finish Jah Speak with a
lighting Rod that rip up the Jamaica Flag that flown on the grandstand Top that hang
over the head of Bustamante. He was carried away blind. The Politician in all areas
where the Brethren live began to eye I an I with suspicion. They began to tempt the
youths with luxury and the Big denommation of the money in circulation with advice
what to do with the money in building Social Relationship amongst other young Brethren
who intend to serve the Lord with his whole heart. Believe
it or not many of these youth went the wrong way and got killed many lost, no surprise.
They are numbered among the careless Ethiopian who are doom
to go down with Babylon many who watch these youth operate
taught that they are trained to go inside to expose. I an I got as much information
from them to satisfy I an I of the transitition in Colonialism Between Britain and
America forcing out Canada with Britain So the triangular warfare become another
Savioar. Although no one decide to pay any special attention to the Movement now
the Social Economical warfare between the Commercial Sector also, with the Chinese
being cited to be spending more of the Yank dollars pretending to be carrying on
Hong Kong business here. Then the Arabs always going on like he his white and do
not Respect nor protect the Rights of the African but add to the explitation of the
African Race through mechandize. Oh the Changes began to be felt in 1964 for here
where they wanted Independence without have to deal with the Question of Repatriation
but I an I Manage to control our Anxiety because I an
I know Britain would have to try and Manouve. To Save or try save what is her Capital
in Sugar and Banana. I an I Charge Britain before she
decide to skip out, for facist colaboloration and formenting Subversion by Siding
with both Political to defraud I an I of the Rights to be Carried back to Ethiopia
at I an I request. It was said Victoria grant was Commersialize to assit in resettling
those would want to go back to Africa. The Colonialzm
in Africa then was the alibi used to keep Us here until the prophesis of Issiah was
fulfilled, when His Imperial Majesty came to Jamaica in 1966 April the prophesy fulfilled.
Jamaica Saw God appear coming into a stick clouds of
darkness and lifted up with him his sons through his Majestic powers of Magnetism.
Jamaica Govt saw for the first time multiple of changes. Protocol was broken down
and here is where the Govt wept and say it was His Imperial Majesty who bitterly
weep when He look out of his Aircraft and saw the Rising Stars of Ethiopia that thong
the Airport to meet him, who all bear his name Rastafari. Take
a look at the Situation, it was a Queen bee Surrounded by the workers of the Apiere
it was like take upon the Shoemakers magnet not until the eyes of all saw what was
to come did they Remember that I an I always say our father
Our Father we always say when we pray. Some people who do not know the good of Meditation
Could not accept a father So Humble as Haile Selassie I Emperor of Ethiopia. What
Some people fail to realize is the struggle set before a people which is beyond their
control. I an I have to gain the inspiration through meditation so we be able to
give Consolation to the distrub minds of a broken and confuse generation I an I may
interpret the King of Kings Coming to the west indies as a Special Significance to
the Brethren. The one noticeable feature of the Rastafarian is fashion in the growth
of his precepts. Yet they are more to the strangeness of the Rastafarian behaviour.
The movement consist of Various elements. Such elements has been created by Political
propoganda. The Strangeness of the Rastafarian Manerism Can be Sum up into three
words 'They are Africans'
(1) One of the Elements of the Rastafarian is a sence of awareness that the Composition
of the Movement base upon accepted principle of the Bible and Christian Ethos.
(2) The Movement is wide in there Social living Standard
+ pattern all these add to noticeable practises of Africans and the political propoganda
pattern. which its inherited through Colonialism.
(3) The Knowlege of the Movement of its poverty which is attributed to existing struggle
of Colonial peoples.
(4) The awareness of the Culture and Traditional pattern that existed within the
movement,
(5) The Movement Realization of the lack of Education in the true Sense of Education.
(6) The Elements of Peace + Love
(7) The Elements of Fanaticism by Calling only upon the name of Rasta and leave Fari
which is the Vision Because the Rastafarian Movement have Certain Strange Action
I an I are Most time become quite strange even to our own people.
