1 of a series excerpted from the Conscious Rasta Report entitled
HIGH CRIMES OF MURDER (©1998/$10.00) Hold tight now reggae music lovers. The following exposé will likely shock some of you, and piss others off; I prefer to use the term outrage! Hopefully what I'm about to reveal should enlighten us all and stimulate you, along with myself, to the appropriate counteraction. I've come to the conclusion that progressive reggae music was kidnapped over a decade ago. A bunch of lightweights and imposters are being held up as reggae superstars and the musical culture that these usurpers are bringing forward is undermining true Rasta culture. Within my hypothesis, the degradation of modern Rasta culture has been orchestrated in large part by the hidden hand of the U.S. national security establishment. In this chapter we examine how this network operates overseas, principally through the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), but also with the assistance of agencies such as the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the U.S. Information Agency (USIA). These comprise an intelligence network of U.S. government institutions that have a presence throughout the world. These government agencies are major players in this conspiracy. The scheme includes a number of non-governmental entities as well as corporate and private interests. I charge that, beginning in the 1970s, a Cabal, operating in and around this network, conspired to implement a covert psychological warfare program aimed at thwarting the rapid diffusion of conscious reggae music and its attendant culture. Today's popular reggae contrasts immensely with that which was created by the Rasta pioneers. The best of the socio-political and cultural reggae music was recorded from the late sixties, throughout the seventies and early eighties. Our criticism is not intended to condemn all "New School" recording artists or to trash all contemporary reggae. To issue such blanket condemnations is usually not productive or accurate. What I am saying is that that much of the more recent popularized reggae music has retreated from the humility, creative spark and cultural integrity of "Roots" reggae music. Just as contemporary rap and hip hop have strayed (or been deflected) from their roots within the black protest motive, dance hall, the preferred groove of Reggae Gen-X, has become too firmly bound to trifling clichés centered around ghetto bravado, "dissin" other deejays, sexual bombast and materialism. In addition, certain disturbing facts surround this reggae conspiracy, as I have examined them, encompassing a broad spectrum of affairs. The plot involves U.S. foreign intrigue, psychological warfare, social engineering, smuggling drugs and guns, shootings and killings. Central to all of this mayhem is involvement of the entertainment industry-a vast cult of vampirology that thrives upon money laundering. The end result of the Cabal's machinations is the production and distribution of a huge mass of unconscious musical recordings and videos that are being fronted off on undiscriminating reggae fans. Within the lives of these unenlightened listeners, certain productions are actually serving as mind control and propaganda-influencing the behavior of those who listen as well as many who don't listen but might only glimpse in passing certain video distortions of ghetto life. One might imagine this an improbable conjecture, but I contend that the Cabal has been motivated, to a large degree, toward the goal of stemming migration from Jamaica into America and Europe. I have prepared an accompanying chart that shows demographic trends for a selected group of countries. Note that the islands of Jamaica and Haiti, along with Mexico, serve as the most efficient birthing centers in the Western Hemisphere. It must be taken into account that, originating from within these populations, migration rates were forecast to explode during the next century. Additionally, the formation of cultural enclaves usually accompanies such migrations, and cultural awareness generally gives rise to political, social and spiritual awakenings. Thus Rasta music showed up increasingly throughout the Western world. Eventually it became imperative that this radical social force had to be taken down. So we have a fourfold network of U.S. agencies: 1) the CIA, 2) USAID, 3) DEA, and 4) USIA; for each of which we must later go into further detail. Each had a role to play in this conspiracy. Each had installed its own set of operatives in this little Caribbean Island paradise, Jamaica. How this network was set up, the various players, the gathering of "indigenous resources" and the hijacking of the island's culture-this makes for one fascinating tale of conspiracy. This story entails a clash of cultures. (Take me to Part 2 of "The CIA & Reggae") |
