SMILE, JAH JAH LOVE YA

"SMILE, JAH JAH LOVE YA" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, March 3 2009 - In the ancient book of the Kebra Negast and the ancient Ethiopian Book of Enoch, we can read the true reason for the Great Flood, for what the Sodomites were really doing and who the people were that had to be killed by the ancient Hebrews.

The denial of these teachings have led to terror regimes through out the centuries, when people like the successive Popes and reformers like John Calvin institutionalized their heresy dressed up as "Christianity".

Today, we see that these teachings are still alive and very much kicking. It is the massive of "born again Christians" who voted for George W Bush, for example. The millions that are killed in the unjust wars in Iraq and Afghanistan speak for themselves and their innocent blood cries unto the Throne of the Almighty One.

In this edition of Dubroom Online, you can read a report about a group that take the teachings of the so-called Church Reformers until their ultimate consequence.

When I will ever meet them, they will tell me -with a smile on their face- that their God hates me. I will tell them: "Smile, Jah Jah Love Ya"

One Love, Give Thanks,

"DMB 2.0 (3)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, March 2 2009 - Traditionally, only a fraction of the visitors and readers of the Dubroom Message Boards actually post. They had to register when they wanted to stay up-to-date with the things that are going on.

This is no longer necessary.

Since the new Message Boards have a feed for just about everything someone might want a feed for, you do not need to register at the new Dubroom Message Boards to keep yourself informed.

You can easily follow what's going on by subscribing to a feed in your browser, or even stay up-to-date by e-mail.

Only when you want to post/contribute, is when the registration process gets interesting. A process which is not as easy as in the previous boards, I must admit...

One Love, Give Thanks,

"DMB 2.0 (2)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, March 1 2009 - A new month, a new Message Board, it's almost springtime: looking forward is a must now...

The Dubroom Message Boards 2.0 will enable me and others who post to increase the quality of these postings. Embedding video's, it wasn't possible in DMB 1.0. Forwarding a news item took a complete programmers guide in Bulletin Board Code ("What?" "Yes, indeed, that's my point")...

Each thread has it's own RSS Feed and e-mail subscription button. Each forum has so, too. And lastly, there is a feed for all new topics in DMB 2.0, so you can stay up-to-date with anything you want without having to register.

Unfortunately, though, those that wish to continue posting on the Dubroom Message Boards will have to register at the new site...

JOHNNY OSBOURNE AND BUNNY BROWN - LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND (DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW)

WWW, February 2009 - It's not really a Reggae tune, but this 1974 riddim from the Canadian Summer Sound Studio surely captures the vibe of the time. Just under three minutes of pure niceness in what really is a historical recording, an essential piece for every self-respecting collector of the better Reggae Music.

"DMB 2.0 (1)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, February 28 2009 - Well, it's kind of official now: the previous host of the Dubroom Message Boards is no more. I have discovered a confirmation of this message, and so, yeah, well, eeh....

We can now officially speak of the fact that the old Dubroom Message Boards were version 1.0, and since a few weeks we have the Dubroom Message Boards 2.0, or in short: DMB 2.0

Time to look forward, as it is evident that not even the data can be retrieved from the old servers. Everything is simply gone...

Gone like the winter, here in the Netherlands. In a few days, it's gonna be springtime over here which also is a perfect reason to look forward as slowly nature start to wake up again to give us JAH blessings...

WAR AGAINST REGGAE

Dubroom Online - February 27 2009

"WAR AGAINST REGGAE" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, February 27 2009 - Reggae Music remains to be a Freedom Sound, even though there are many who "lapsed", or did the opposite: Jumped On The Band Wagon.

All of this is part of the fact that nothing in this fallen Creation will be perfect. Even stronger, everything in this fallen creation is subject to decay.

But there is also something else going on, ever since Reggae Music "threatened" to become the Sounds of Freedom on the World Wide scale that Reggae is currently being appreciloved.

There's a "War on Drugs", a "War on Terror", but there is also a "War On Reggae".

A War Against Reggae, even.

NEW AGE RAGE

Dubroom Online - February 26 2009

"NEW AGE RAGE" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, February 26 2009 - For today's edition of Dubroom Online, there is an addition to the Babylon Observer series entitled "New Age Rage".

It's a series that takes a humoristic look at segments of Mystery Babylon. Just like the Most High Himself is recorded to laugh about the Shitstem (see the second psalm for that), so can we also laugh about the obvious stupidities and so on that accompany the Mystery in her upcoming downfall.

In the video "David Icke, the Lizards and the Jews", we meet up with the political correct crowd that just doesn't know what to do with this maverick in the matrix and turns to the most "outrageous conspiracy theories" (to quote one famous conspiracy theorist) in an pathetic attempt to silence the man.

Good entertainment!

ONCE UPON A TIME...

Dubroom Online - February 25 2009

"ONCE UPON A TIME..." (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, February 25 2009 - Three decades ago, a band was playing somewhere in the UK. The band was highly concentrated, as they performed their music. A music, very lively and heartical.

It was quite an experience, as the musicians laid the foundation for the lead and backing vocals to sing their song of praise to the Almighty One over a Reggae Riddim.

Reggae Music, Live and Direct...

It had been popularized by Bob Marley and Burning Spear, who gave the inspiration for a generation of Jamaicans in the UK to start their own bands and spread the music.

Some of them are playing until this very day, others are forgotten and they should not be.

The Sons Of JAH were one out of many of such bands.
