In The Mean Time... (Messian Dread Update August 21/22 2014)

IN THE MEAN TIME...
MESSIAN DREAD UPDATE AUGUST 22 2014

WWW, August 22 2014 - Yesterday was the conclusion of the official release of my album "Heavyweight Dubwise". During the last twelve days, while one track was released per day, I've been doing all kinds of things. Things, that not only justify this update, but require them. Read about the midi files, about being accused of stealing from a thief, about all my Creative Commons releases, and more.

the midi files

After kind of rising from my online slumber earlier this year, I discovered a new feature at my web hosting provider. I can watch in real-time what happens on the dubroom.org servers, and I do that a few times a week. This helped me tremendously, because I learned that the Midi Files we've released during the early years of this website back in 1997 were way more popular than I thought. 

Truly, I thought it was more a thing people would go to for old times sake, and an "occasional" producer/visitor of studio.dubroom.org.

How wrong I was.

I knew about "Skream", the Dub Step producer that has used our material for his commercial releases without even crediting us. I knew about some other people who used the midi files for non-commercial reasons, but I was absolutely unaware of the enormous popularity. Yes, that page is visited 1000's of times each week. 

All these people who have been visiting that page, have been reading the copyright notices. Notices which basically prevented honest people from spreading the stuff. And so, thieves like Skream got away with it. If these files would have been released in the Creative Commons domain, he would just have been the next to use that particular file. 

I discovered this year, that the Dubroom is visited every day by much (many? dunno my inglish there) more producers than I previously thought. I really thought that studio.dubroom.org got like a few visits a day but that is absolutely not the case. From all over the world people are visiting the studio, reading the tutorials. Even from places you don't expect.

Gradually, things dawned and I started to see connections.

And so I re-released all the midi files into the creative commons domain. 

I pick my battles and ketching vampires like skream is much more of a worldly, carnal thing than I care to deal with actually. I mean, this is a guy who works in a scene very much comparable with Dancehall and Techno, meaning cokane and dollars using immorality and pompous behavior. He's making his fortune doing these things. To be honest I do not want to have one cent of that fortune. So why am I putting so much energy in this whole dead-bury-dead culture, and why do i not realize that of course vampires are there sucking from the source of life by sucking from Jah people.

Yes, what's new? Hm.... It's not like stealing my Inspiration. It's showing lack of contact with the Source of life.

I see that so many people visit the midi page. Skream is not the only one, I am sure of that. None of them want anyone to know about the Midi file, obviously. So this is the best way to counter these parasites without giving them one more minute of the time that Jah gave me to do things. 

you tube

While "everyone" was downloading and -hopefully- listening to my new releases, myself I was diving deep back in the Dubroom's archives, re-discovering some track I totally forgot about, recalling some precious moments and just having a basic good time with these old tracks. 

I wasn't playing the mp3's on my VLC player's play list, though. I was uploading them all to You Tube, but not at the official Dubroom Channel.

You Tube has this nice feature called "Video Editor". Everyone can make their own video using music that is published under Creative Commons on You Tube, or use video material published at You Tube under Creative Commons. I used the last possibility for the official Dubroom video releases I did in the last time, and I thought it would be nice to give something back.

Throughout the years, people have uploaded some of my Creative Commons releases to You Tube and this gave me the inspiration to open my own personal You Tube channel (called "the Dubroom Dread") and start to upload all music that the Dubroom released under Creative Commons. I've loaded each track in Windows Movie Maker, added some information on the screen, and subsequently uploaded the results to my You Tube Channel at www.youtube.com/dubroomdread.

In essence, I'm providing a complete catalogue of well over 300 tracks to the You Tube community. Nicely sorted in play lists, each one with a download link in the description. Music by Sure Dread, Heartical, Jah Roots, and myself, everything nicely sorted with play lists. Yes, still under construction and therefore not yet "officially anounced", but that will come later. 

It's not even the reason why I write this update, even though it can be quite an interesting piece of information for some. Everyone with a You Tube account should be able to click on the "remix this video" button and start using the music on their own account.

an incredible engagement

Then, when I was uploading my tunes, I saw that one of them was flagged with a copyright notice.

Yes, that drove my attention.

I clicked on the link and saw this:

(click to enlarge)

I pressed play and, yes, that was my music. It was during a rather dubbed out piece where I use a specific effect. 

There was a button that enabled me to respond to this really bizarre claim. And so I wrote them about the track and showed them the proof that if in fact the recording was used by the claimer, that claimer had violated mine.

I went on to search for this particular artist and the track he released. I discovered it was all over the Internet, at Itunes, Amazon, all the big names had the track for sale.

Time to actually listen to the track, I pressed play at Amazon.com and to my utmost surprise I discover that this was my tune indeed. It even had my voice, it was the Dub that I released and here and there a little thing was added. Even Skream had done more work than this particular individual. I wrote a review that basically said what the track was and my advice not to buy it. The comment was approved by Amazon within an hour. 

During that hour, I had discovered that this particular artist was trying to make a name for himself in that industry which I have exposed in two books and countless of other publications. Yes, the Christian Industry. His particular track was released a few years back. I discovered a trail wherein this person, year after year, pretended to have produced this track and received one compliment after the other. He was all over the Internet receiving good comments about "his" track, compliments which he responded to with "Thank you". 

A righteous anger awoke.

This was no longer a copyright issue caused by a notice of one of my tracks at You Tube.

This was Jah showing me what these blasphemers had done, once again. Stealing the real thing, "sanctifying" it by totally renaming the track and not giving any indication whatsoever about any other source than their own "inspiration", offering it for sale to an audience that is trained into believing that the Most High orders them to only listen to "sanctified" music. Yes indeed, I have seen that before.

Just like the money changers in the temple, just like the one Peter described in the following scripture:

And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. (source)

Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; (source)

This guy made merchandise of not just me, but especially his audience. An audience, that believes they should turn to self proclaimed "Gospel Reggae" artists in order to get a blessing from Jesus. A paid blessing. Feigned words, saying he produced this thing. Feeding the flock of Jah, his audience, for filthy lucre.

What a shame. 

What a blasphemy!

Blasphemy? Yes. I didn't mention how this particular artist's name included the Name of the Almighty. Everything he does, he does in the Name of the Most High. The stealing, the misleading, putting the thieved material up for sale, everything.

Of course that is not why I had made the track. That is not why I released it online for free, many years ago. 

I didn't make it to get accused of being a thief, either. 

After all, that was the factual situation. The thief, who stole that track from me, had officially registered his stolen good as his own intellectual property when he put it up for sale. When I then wanted to upload "his" intellectual property to You Tube I got accused for stealing his stolen good. A total reversal of the truth.

Even though everything was easily proven, the situation was far more serious and so I contacted the guy. What followed was a truly bizarre exchange of communication which I would like to share with you. 

I confronted him with the spiritual truth that I just painted in previous paragraphs. Frankly, I asked him how he could maintain such a thing for years in a row and not be confronted with the law written in the hearts of all those that are truly born again. How can you claim to be born again and not be convicted in your heart? I advised him very strongly to consider the words in John 3:16, that quote our Lord saying everyone that believeth in Yesus shall have eternal life.

Initially, my worst fear seemed to materialize in front of my eyes.

He totally ignored everything, and was only interested in a practical work-out. Yes, he would write to all the sites and have them remove the track. Could he still offer it for free, though? 

After pointing out to these specific, very serious things that the apostle Peter wrote about, after my plea for him to check out his position in Christ (if any!), my strong advise to go to the Father with this thing, all he wanted was to hold on to what he got. He could not let go of his stolen good. It was truly, truly painful to witness.

However, not all hope was lost. It took a while before he told me that he had prayed over it and it was his idea that the Lord indeed wanted him to remove everything. I hope he will do what Jah says. That's so much more important than anything else!

in the mean time

I updated the Net Label website and my Ifficial home as well. There are a lot new artist pages and several of them now include You Tube embed's. My Ifficial home now has the right copyright notice with every track, the one page from where you can download all my music is heavily updated as well. Things should absolutely be more clear.

I've got a lot of music to review as well. 

Yes, let me do that.

One Love,
Messian Dread

GOODBYE, GOSPELREGGAE!

GOODBYE, GOSPELREGGAE!



MESSIAN DREAD SPIRITUAL UPDATE SEPTEMBER 7, 2007

WWW, September 7 2007 - Last August 26, I was blessed to expose Christafari on Shortwave Radio, broadcasting all over the Carribean and Africa as well as the world over the Internet.

It was the release from a burden that I had to carry for ten years. A burden to expose and prophesy to the builders of the "Gospel Reggae Kingdom" within the larger structures of the Christian Industrial Complex.

Actually, it's over ten years. When I took my first steps in Cyberspace, it was 1996. One of the first people I met over the Internet, was a guy called Mark Mohr.

We both had dreads, and we both spoke about Jah and Jesus Christ. We were both playing Reggae Music. We both thought that we had found someone who was on the same road, but it soon turned out that we were wrong.

He was on his way to create a "Gospel Reggae" branch in the Christian Industrial Complex, and I was on my way to start a website that would promote Reggae Music. He was busy stealing and imitating my Culture, and my spiritual Identity too, in order to make himself a name and fame in the Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) Industry, and I wasn't aware of this at first.

At first, I thought that Mohr was just another American guy full of ignorance, and just needed to know a few things so that he would know that there was no reason whatsoever to separate himself from Reggae Culture in order to be able to praise the Lord Jah in his music.

After a decade, I know better. Mohr never intended to be part of that culture. He intended to plunder it, and even infect it with a Babylonian form of "Christianity" that basically says you go to hell if you don't go to the Babylon Church and worship the Pastor and the President.

There is a Gospel Reggae Industry, Mark Mohr sells almost half a million copies of his works, while living gay in one of Los Angeles' most expensive neighborhoods. He writes negative articles about Yabby You, the Iriginal Yesus Dread, while claiming to be the "founder, leader and pioneer" of something he calls "gospel reggae".

And indeed, he is.

Mind you, though: "Gospel Reggae" definitely is NOT the same as Spiritual Reggae created by Dreadlocksmen who love Yesus Kristos.

People like Yabby You, for example.

According to Mark Mohr, the products in his marketplace are the "true Christian" alternative to "the ever enigmatic Yabby You and Messian Dread". He even tells people that God would never want them to buy any other Reggae Music than that which he sells on his "sanctified" webstore.

The Gospel Reggae Industry has become well established, as throughout the years many joined Mohr in his enterprise. I tried to reach out to what I thought were my brothers and sisters in Yesus Kristos and warn them for the true identity of the Gospel Reggae Industry and her "Founder and Pioneer", but all I met was a Deja-Vu.

It started when I was transcribing an interview that was posted on the Christafari website. It contained information about the release of Christafari's album "To the Foundation".

I heard, how Mohr was lifting himself up, marketing his false gospel and his false Christ with.

I heard, how he had deadicated a song to me, that is to say: to the ones who tried to expose Christafari for the false Christians and parasites that they really are.

I listened to lie after lie after lie, even to Mark Mohr quoting the Bible to back up his lies.

He spoke about "thesis's and books" written about "him". Actually these books are about his self-titled religion called Christafarianism".

He told his listeners how he "tried to reason", where actually it was ten years of complete rejection of any reasoning, even articles in which I was publicly handed over the Satan for trying to reason.

Not really a pleasant sound, but nothing much since I know how Mark Mohr loves to back-bite on his albums. After all, he takes every critique on his fake gospel and his fake "christianity" very personal, just like his self-titled religion called Christafarianism.

But that wasn't all.

I was about to be confronted with something that was much more evil.

Mark Mohr told his listeners, how he had attempted to "plant" a "church" in Trinidad. I have written extensively in my second book on Christafari, how the "Church Planter" was more or less booed off the island and how he had written a "letter of divorce" to The Gathering, as the "church" is called.

I also know, that he is a fan of Rick Warren and has played with his band in the Purpose Driven Headquarters of Saddleback Church in California. I know, that he tried to indoctrinate the people of Trinidad with Warrens poisonous "Purpose Driven Life", and I have documented all of this too.

But I was blown away, when I heard Mohr admitting to all of this. I could hardly stop vomiting, as my head started spinning with something I cannot describe otherwise than Holy Anger.

Did I hear that correctly?

Yes, I did!

He deadicated a song on his album to the people of Trinidad and it is called: Too Much... CANNIBALS!

Listen for yourself: CLICK FOR AUDIO FRAGMENT (MP3, 566Kb)]

Yes, cannibals. Christafari will point out to their name as coming from the same root as the name Christopher. Christopher-I, planter in Trinidad, was chased away from the island of Trinidad and now he refers to the inhabitants as "cannibals".

En passant, he mentions the fact that he considers "sheep" to more "more dangerous" than wolves, that he wishes to "change" this congregation of sheep as he chuckles: "churches are allergic to change"...

Does anybody care? Does anybody even notice it?

After more or less recovering from witnessing this enormous insult, this curse on Jah's people, this back-biting in name of "jesus christ", I couldn't go on transcribing this interview. My source, who helped me out with the transcriptions, witnessed how I was confronted with this trauma big time.

JAH told me to go and find out just what was the matter and I started my Spiritual Journey called Psalm 91.

I found out what was the matter.

Mark Mohr, being the demonic possessed individual that he is, tried to trigger a trauma I carry with me from since I was a very young child. It is the trauma of being hurt by worshippers of the god of this world order, posing as "Christians" who "worship Jesus Christ". It is the trauma that is also imposed on millions of people world-wide, who we know as the "sufferers".

Again, I could do nothing but concluding how Mark Mohr was deliberately working within that Christian Industrial Complex he calls "the Church". That Christian Industrial Complex that works to get people worship the Church-and-State system the bible calls Babylon, the Beast.

Jah sent Christafari close to where I live, and a few Idren and I went to spiritually confront the workers of Satan. I said goodbye to the "founder and leader" of "Gospel Reggae". I told him, that if he would not repent, Jah would cut him down.

An in-depth report can be found HERE.

A few days later, I was interviewed on Channel Z about Christafari. It was broadcasted live and direct through Short-Wave all over the Carrib and Africa. Over the Internet, a world-wide audience was reached. the Christafari website went dead during the broadcast, as we chanted down Christafari in front of a potential audience of millions.

A report and MP3 file of the interview can be found HERE.

It's of my shoulders now.

I will close down the Christafari File, make a website about them where all the information can be found, and comments can be placed and thing, but I no longer consider it my duty to prophesy to Christafari what will happen to the workers of Babylon that they really are.

I no longer consider it my duty to try and reach out to all those workers for the Gospel Reggae Industry, who do not wish to separate themselves from that system which makes money with jesus and start promoting Reggae Music as a whole.

For me, The Gospel Reggae Industry is burned.

It is gone.

I am dancing on it's ashes.

I already see what the Gospel Reggae Industry means in eternity. I see what it means, their big Gospel Festivals and their Gospel Reggae Awards in which they praise ach other into their high heaven.

It's n.o.t.h.i.n.g. It's n.o.w.h.e.r.e.

And so, Jah set me free to live it up!

When workers of that industry try to contact me, I throw their messages straight into the thrash can. I don't even answer them no more.

When they call me to be a friend on MySpace, I simply press deny and when it happens too much I will even press "mark as spam".

When they will try to post their stuff on the Dubroom Messageboard or try to write a comment on one or more of the Dubroom blogs, these comments will not make it to the public's eye either.

The time to reason is over.

The split is now.

Those who wish to fornicate with the Gospel Reggae Industry and make money of their jesus christ are dead, as far as I'm concerned.

This is not to say that I don't think Jah will not wake some of them up so they can live. Maybe Jah will even wake up Mark Mohr himself! I definitely do not know.

And frankly, I don't really care anymore either. I thank Jah, that I can close this particular thing. I was there when the Gospelreggae industry was built, prophesying against the builders who cursed me away. And now that the building is there, my duty is over.

I choose LIFE and I choose to LIVE IT UP!

Goodbye, Gospel Reggae!

Give Thanks, One Love
Messian Dread

COLUMN: THE CHRISTIAN CODE

COLUMN: THE CHRISTIAN CODE




There is a "Christian Code". It's a Code of behavior that goes very deep, even though most people will probably never realize it.

The reason for that is, that the Code has nothing to do with Christian Livity, and everything with Babylonian standards.

Most "Christians" who live according to the Code are not Christian at all. They're just good Babylonians in a good Babylonian state religion. Their "Jesus" actually is the god of this world order.

I found this out the hard way, and at a very young age. Both Church and State were exactly the same thing. When I went to school, I engaged the same thing as in the "Church".

Just like the steeples, pointing in the air like the judging finger of a hateful dictator, everything pointed out to this message: "Be a good Babylonian".

And we all know what a good Babylonian is: a mind-controlled slave, unconscious. When you ever saw the movie "The Matrix", especially the first episode, you know what I'm talking about.

Ask questions, Question Authorities, and you will engage abuse. You will be made fun of, as you're considered to be a danger to the Order. And everything will be done in the Name of the One they claim to follow: Jesus Christ.

When I was a child, these "Christians" would traumatize me. They would make it very clear that I was never to think that I would ever be a part of their group. They would make it clear, that "God" would never accept anyone outside of their group, too.

I carry the scarves on my soul until this day.

At a very young age, I made a conscious choice to be with Satan. After all, they had given me the idea that "Jesus Christ" was the god of this world order. And since I did not, and still do not, fit in that order, I figured I would than be better off walking with Satan, the outcast.

So I thought...

After listening to Reggae Music for years, I found out that the god of the order is in fact Satan! And when Jah put me in a position where I had to bow down for Yesus Kristos, I became a Christian myself.

Did anything change?

Yes, and no.

I changed. I am redeemed, I am freed, I am saved. I have a living relationship with the Living God, Yesus Kristos.

However, I am still being abused by others who call themselves "Christian". In fact, the abuse is even stronger than in the past! Especially, since I now consider many of these people to be my brothers and sisters. But this consideration is not vice versa, that has become quite clear.

I still break the Code, and so I will still face what I am facing all my life: a continual realization that I will never be a part of the World Order.

But the difference is, that I know the truth now. I know, that the "Jesus" of Babylon is in fact Satan pretending to be an angel of light. I know, that the mind-controlled slaves who live in their "Christian" matrix are the ones who follow Satan.

And the difference is also, that I know about the Code. I know, that it is good to break the Code. I know, that breaking the Code has nothing to do with being disobedient to the Almighty. In fact, obedience to Jah is to break the Code!
