Babylon the Great is Fallen

[I Man Rastafari]

And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Revelation 18:2


As my Baptist friends know the recent elections held in America were corrupted by the Russian white people and the election was stolen for Donald Trump. The true voice of the people was rejected and now the party of the people which is the Democrats has retreated into the fringes of Babylon. Because of the clever manipulation of the people the Democrats have lost control of the whole country of Babylon except for the most advanced and progressive areas. But now the people are reorganizing and we are laying plans for our triumphant return and for the defeat of the white man.


The Democratic party is the true representative of the people and we will begin this very day to show the truth to the people. Recently a fascist of the party of the Republicans removed a beautiful painting from the capitol of Babylon that truly depicted the police as pigs because he thinks that the police are good for the people and they should not be depicted as pigs in the capitol of Babylon. Today proud Black Democrats will rehang that picture on the wall to show solidarity with the people who are abused by the white people and their police. The Black men of Black Lives Matter will be present to lend moral authority and to remind people that we shoot white policemen when we can. This will show the people that we are serious and ready to help them destroy the masters of Babylon.


We will continue with the same leadership that would have led us to victory if the election had not been stolen. They are very old and mostly white people but they are the good kind of white people. We have reelected Nancy Pelosi as our leader in the House of Representatives and Keith X who is a Black man and a Muslim who hates the Jews will be the leader of our party. President Barak Obama will remain in Washington to act as our leader since so many have been deposed by the white man. He will be very helpful there. We feel that we have been on the right track to reform Babylon and we should continue in that direction. Sooner or later the people of Babylon will realize that we are right.


To that end we will continue to raise the important issues that the white people are not interested in such as which bathroom we are allowed to use and the need to provide the Black man with redress for his grievances. Also I myself am still unable to afford a Range Rover which I desperately need. This issue is also important and must be addressed. I hope that my white friends will come together to assist our party which is the true peoples party so that the wrongs of America can be set right. All of the important white people in Hollywood have already rallied to our cause and they are very very smart.

You need a Range Rover? Who do you think that you are, Pastor Zeke? Speaking of which, given the many advantages conferred upon you as a visitor to our forums, why haven't you chipped in for the good Pastor's new jet?


Now that is a REAL need and a worthy endeavor.

Hello Handmaiden,

On this occasion I have to step up for my Rastafarian friend. He is a struggling student, those are people you can make really happy by donating packages of dried ramen. Not that I would do that, I´d rather serve them some real pasta which is hardly more expensive if you make your own fresh pasta and use the vegetables from your own garden.

I agree that an aircraft is really awesome but I don´t think we can expect our Rastafari friend to make a useful monetary contribution. Perhaps he could in other ways like getting some ivory for the interior from his African friends producing some nice artwork to liven up the jet.

Kind regards,

Roland

Roland, this young man has bragged elsewhere that he is being paid something like $400 per week (yes, PER WEEK!!!) in student grants from the US taxpayer. Do you call that struggling? If he chooses to spend it on the ganja, rather than on something useful like Pastor Zeke's jet, then don't expect me to sympathize with him.

I wish to thank my friend Roland who is white and maybe a pirate like the old pirates that robbed my people to the Americas but he seems to be for the people and he has defended me even though I am a poor Black man and a foreigner in Babylon.


It is true that I am to receive a stipend of 400USD per week but that does not come from the taxpayers of Babylon. These monies come from the Roman Catholic Church by way of Georgetown University which I shall be attending shortly. I am to receive this payment plus my tuition fees and books as well as a new laptop computer and all I can eat as partial remuneration for the possible enslavement of my ancestors by the University.


Also 400USD is not enough. Sistren Joanna has pointed out that this amount will hardly pay for ganja in Babylon. If not for my work as a community organizer I would have to eat the beans and franks served in the dining hall. I do not eat meat of any kind and beans give me gas. They never serve okra and tomatoes with rice which is the food of a Rastaman.


Sadly the racism of the Republicans will derail any attempt to get reparations for the Black man on any large scale until such time as the people of this country get tired of all this talk about the economic issues of the white man and get back to the important business of the people.

Oh, I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding, Trevor. If the money is coming from the ArSees then I absolutely agree that it is a niggardly sum (no offense intended) and they can well afford more.

Have you considered applying to the Spanish and Portuguese governments? They have recently been very enthusiastic about making reparations to the joos they expelled (by giving them passports) and I see no reason why they should not want to fund the descendants of the slaves they shipped west, especially those in catholic universities.

If you would like any help approaching them, just let me know. I do not speak their language, but have found that speaking LOUDLY, s l o w l y, and clearly usually suffices.

All the very best, dear,
Joanna
