Riddim from the Ghetto, Lyrics from the Streets

 


Lee 'Scratch' Perry

Thank you man ! Jah bless !!! 



 Classed by number of views, the first three videos of Bob Marley on YouTube amount for ...

775 million views ! 


The first ten for 1.753 million views. 

Milliards of reggae songs have been heard, reggae songs that speak about Love, about Justice, about all we care and want as human beings, that warn us of Babylon and the Baldheads ...

People where are you in this time of distress ?

The Caribbean have been hard hit by the so-called corona. India also, and everywhere the poorest, while some others are taking holidays in space. 

Where are you, you people who fought against apartheid now that apartheid is global,
now that all races are under the same boot, the white boot from the cold ?



Must fight !
And not against beasts, for two reasons:

1. The real biggest beasts hide far away from anyone's reach, like the Leviathan.
2. The most dangerous beasts are not the bigger ones, and they hide under your neighbor appearance.

Joanna Arendt

"Can one do evil without being evil ? This was the puzzling question that the philosopher Hannah Arendt grappled with when she reported for The New Yorker in 1961 on the war crimes trial of Adolph Eichmann, the Nazi operative responsible for organizing the transportation of millions of Jews and others to various concentration camps in support of the Nazi’s Final Solution.

Arendt found Eichmann an ordinary, rather bland, bureaucrat, who in her words, was ‘neither perverted nor sadistic’, but ‘terrifyingly normal’. He acted without any motive other than to diligently advance his career in the Nazi bureaucracy. Eichmann was not an amoral monster, she concluded in her study of the case, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil (1963). Instead, he performed evil deeds without evil intentions, a fact connected to his ‘thoughtlessness’, a disengagement from the reality of his evil acts. Eichmann ‘never realized what he was doing’ due to an ‘inability… to think from the standpoint of somebody else’. Lacking this particular cognitive ability, he ‘commit[ted] crimes under circumstances that made it well-nigh impossible for him to know or to feel that he [was] doing wrong’.


Now, it is not that important to know if that multi murderer was aware of his crimes, or not. Fact is he was a good family man, a good worker, a day-to-day fellow with a bright smile, your very neighbor, could it not ???

These are the cockroaches of humanity that survive even an atomic war because their 'race' is here to stay, 
if we don't go after it, 
will we ?



Yes , and this is what we, must ask from ... 

the governments and the municipalities, 

both of them accountable bodies, for the sake of all of us, even those that abide by the diktat:

. stop the medical apartheid enforced by the government and the municipalities
. control of the working conditions in the private sector*
. a cleaner environment, air we breath (Beijing ...), water we drink (Flint ...), food we eat
. rehab of old neighborhoods
. interdiction of petrol stations in inhabited areas
...
What do I know ! Just add, and there's a lot !!

*I know someone who's presently working in a place with a kitchen. There are some twelve cooks and three black men doing the washing ... from nine am to twelve pm, sleeping in a shelter room where the two last months the temperature was around 40°C, believe it ? Got the pics !!!




The last 'natural' human beings do not want our 'civilized' world while knowing it, too much already from far away. In some places, there remain such tribes, in the Amazon, in India, in Africa and the Far East. 

The West men have become tech slaves, upon all. We need to restraint ourselves. Who needs a SUV able of 140 mph when the average speed is 30/40 ? Run your car longer and give money to the local mechanics, not to bank interests !

What we need is hours of sunshine ...

Instead of fluorescents/leds and ... smoke:

Beyond industrial pollution that has astronomical values in China, India, California and New-york, (CO, CO2, SO2 and more), this year has seen the superficy of France, yes, around 600,000 km2 of vegetation goes in flames, half in Siberia.

What did the governments do ?

Russia : monitoring !
USA : still burning ...
The two big ones that could and should have done something, well, did nothing or so.

Greece, Turkey, Algeria did what they could and stopped the flames. 
Are Putin & Biden not accountable for such disasters ?

Well, for Russia it is deliberate while the USA had to retreat from Afghanistan, during which a guy saved 200 pets, cats and dogs, what a warm heart isn't he ?
