The Father of Reggae Jimmy Cliff Passed Away Today

 The majority of people automatically assume that “Bob Marley” was the musician that introduced the world to reggae/ska music.

Truth be told, it was actually “James Chambers” aka “Jimmy Cliff” who Blessed the world with the introduction.

Sadly, Jimmy Cliff passed away today.

Jimmy was 81 years.

Born 30 July 1944.

Ascended 24 November 2025.

However, his music will be immotal.

A century from now someone somewhere will be listening to “The Harder They Come” or “I Can See Clearly Now”

Personally, my all-time favourite, beyond any doubt, is …

“Rebel In Me”

The lyrics of this classic song totally relate to one of the greatest loves in my life.

That one true love that even though circumstance has sent us down separate paths, the love we share we share still.

The eternal heartache of eternal heartbreak.

Everytime I hear “Rebel In Me” time pauses as memories of Maria flow through my soul like an Angel’s warm caress.

We all have certain songs that go beyond being mere music and become part of the roots of our emotions.

I am Blessed to have a number of Jimmy’s songs that go hand in hand with my deepest emotions.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR MUSIC JIMMY CLIFF.

May you be resting in Paradise!

IS THE WORLD GOING TO ALLOW DONALD TRUMP TO LITERALLY THREATEN THE ICC – THE WORLD COURT?

  Where does the convicted felon, Pedophile President Dictator Trump, get off with threatening the International Criminal Court? If the Court bends to his demanding threat, then what does that say to every other wannabe Dictator out there? HERE IS THE ACTUAL THREAT  ….. “ If the court does not act on this U.S. demand and two others — dropping investigations of Israeli leaders over the Gaza war and formally ending an earlier probe of U.S. troops over their actions in Afghanistan — Washington may penalize more ICC officials and could sanction the court itself, the official said. “ THIS IS BLATANT POLITICAL BLACKMAIL AGAINST A COURT OF LAW ! This also shows exactly how “dangerous” Trump and his corrupt administration has become. Trump’s recent rants show that he is deranged and by being so is a danger to ALL OF US! SUCH ACTIONS AS ….. Trump  claims to be actually  talking to Jesus, (whose Father, God, apparently told him how “great” he is) His allegiance ...

Society's Like Israel Are Why I Lost My Belief In Religion

  People who “ STAND ” with society’s such as “ ISRAEL ” are why I firmly do not believe IN “ RELIGIONS “. 4200 ‘Gangs’ with 4200  ‘Ideologies’. They are nothing but “ GANGS ” and/or “ CULTS “. Take the  ‘VATICAN’  for an example.   Birth place of the  ‘MAFIA’. Or how about getting a drink of ‘ KOOLAID’  at ” JONESTOWN’? Perhaps a barbeque at  ‘WACO’?6 I hear that ‘ GAZA’  is a ‘ BOMB ‘  place. In my opinion ‘ Israel ‘ and the ‘ Israeli’  culture top the list. The most ‘ unholy ‘ of scum living in the ‘ holiest ‘ of lands. l was born and beaten an ‘ RC ‘. A ‘ Rotten Catholic ‘. (Some refer to it as  ‘ Roman Catholic’) I believe in “ FAITH “. How can you call yourself ‘ CHRISTIAN ‘ with thirty thousand slaughtered children laying at your feet? INNOCENT BABIES? Or claim that 3 year olds are terrorist operatives? So, yes, I am not a religious person. Remember Campers, there were  ‘Miracles’  happening all over the place ...

LIVE IN THE NOW. FOR NOW

  “ Look up into the Universe and show your perception of your God that you are grateful and humbled for this gift of existence, of life it very self. “ Remember, we are merely mortal and our existence is an ever changing blueprint of the pathway we choose to walk at this moment of our lives. We will face many choices and we walk many pathways   as we wander through this road we call “ life “. “ We are genetically spiritually nomadic. “ Forever seeking the “ why “, “ where ” and “when”, often neglecting the “ here “, “ now ” and “ why not “ The past has left us. The future is yet to arrive. In reality, we live right now. Enjoy the  “now”. Think fondly about the past. Have positive hope for tomorrow. And ……….. “ LIVE ” in the now Before it fades I nto the past. (LDV 06/29/2025) “Positivity is Cancer’s nemesis.”
