CHILDREN IN POVERTY QUOTES THIS IS THE RESULT OF A FAILING ECONOMY. FAMILIES IN FRAGMENTATION EVERYWHERE. SPLIT UPS, BREAK UPS HAVE BECOME COMMON PLACE AS WE ALL SEE THE DESTRUCTION OF THE HUMAN RACE. WHAT A DISGRACE, AND TERRIBLE PLIGHT OF THESE YOUNG AND INNOCENT ONES, AS FATHERS SAY BYE- MOTHERS AND BABIES CRY. I KNOW IT WON'T BE LONG, FOR JAH, JAH CHILDREN TO SING MY SONG. RAMPANT NEGLECT BY PARENTS IS EVERYWHERE. THE CHILDREN SUFFERS BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS JUST DON'T CARE OR GIVE A DAMN.SO, WHAT ELSE IS NEW ABOUT MAN'S INHUMANITY TO MAN?

RAS CARDO REGGAE

**(c) I SHARED MANY REASONINGS AND TRUTHS WITH BOB MARLEY, PETER TOSH, JOE HIGGS, ROY WILSON, CHERRY, DELROY, JUNIOR BRAITHWAITE, ALTON ELLIS, AND OTHER LEGENDS AND PEOPLES OF TRENCH TOWN, TO WHICH I AM DUTY BOUND NOT TO RELEASE TO THE PUBLIC, BUT WHICH I WILL USE, IF AND WHEN IT BECOMES NECESSARY TO SHOW THE LIARS, PIRATES, PRIVATEERS, PROFITEERS OF REGGAE, THE TRUTH WHICH I KNOW WILL ULTIMATELY SILENCE THEM. THOSE WHO STILL TRY TO IGNORE AND TO ERASE OUR NAMES FROM THE REGGAE BOOK OF TRUTHS WILL FACE THE CONSEQUENCES. I SPEAK WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

RAS CARDO REGGAE

***(C)(P) I AM RAS CARDO REGGAE, THE REGGAE CREATOR FROM TRENCH TOWN. I REFUSED TO LET THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD BELIEVE THAT-NOTHING GOOD COMES OUT OF TRENCH TOWN. -BECAUSE, NOW THE WORLD KNOWS THAT BABYLON TOLD THEM A LIE. THEY LIED AGAINST US! THEY LIED BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO STEAL OUR TRENCH TOWN REGGAE HERITAGE AND LEGACY FOR POOR PEOPLE. I WILL NEVER MAKE THIS HAPPEN! SO HELP I JAH!

RAS CARDO REGGAE

***(C)(p)- ANY COUNTRY THAT CANNOT PROVIDE FOR THE PROPER HEALTHCARE OF ITS CITIZENS SHOULD NEVER CONSIDER ITSELF WORTHY OF THEM DYING FOR IT IN BATTLE. FOR IN A WAR- NO ONE WINS! BOTH SIDES END UP WITH CASUALTIES IN BODY BAGS WITH MASS GRAVES AND MAYBE- NO MEMORIALS! I AM RAS CARDO WHO CREATED REGGAE. YOU CAN QUOTE ME ON THAT-ACCURATELY. ITS ALL TRUE.

RAS CARDO REGGAE

(C)(P) ZIGGY MARLEY GOT THE NAME- ZIGGY- FROM THE WAY I USED TO KICK THE SOCCER BALL AND MAKE IT SPIN IN MID AIR IN A CURVILINER FASHION. I WAS THE ONE WHO SHOWED HIS FATHER- BOB MARLEY- HOW THIS WAS DONE. I CAN SHOW ANYONE HOW THIS IS DONE TO PROVE MY POINT. BOB WAS FASCINATED BY A LOT OF THINGS I TAUGHT HIM. HE WAS VERY CURIOUS.

RAS CARDO REGGAE

(C)(P) I WILL SAY THIS WITHOUT A DOUBT:- I HAVE THE TESTIMONIALS OF JOE HIGGS AND ROY WILSON- SPEAKING ABOUT MY WORKS CREATING REGGAE AND NAMING THE ORIGINAL WAILING WAILERS GROUP NAME, AMONG OTHER THINGS I WAS THE ARCHITECT OF IN TRENCH TOWN. THOSE WHO SEEK TO CHALLENGE ME WILL ALWAYS LOSE. PUT YOUR MONEY ON THE TABLE WHICH I WILL GIVE TO THE POOR PEOPLE AFTER YOUR DEFEAT.

RAS CARDO REGGAE

(C)(P) INFORMATION IS A COMMODITY IN THIS AGE OF TECHNOTYRANNY. BEWARE THE COMMODITIZATION OF INFORMATION IN THIS TECHNOTYRANNICAL REVOLUTION.

RAS CARDO REGGAE

(C)(P)- I WROTE THE BOOK- TO GENERATIONS YET UNBORN- IN TRENCH TOWN DURING MY HIGH SCHOOL YEARS AS A PROPHECY OF MY REGGAE PREDICTIONS. AS A VISIONARY, I SAW WHAT THE JAMAICA TODAY WOULD BECOME, IF, AND ONLY IF THE STATUS QUO WOULD HELP AND RESPECT THE POOR AND DISADVANTAGED PEOPLE. JAMAICA AND THE WORLD TODAY DOES NOT SURPRISE ME. MY REGGAE DOES NOT CARE IF YOU ARE BLACK OR WHITE JUST AS LONG AS YOU CAN MAKE WHAT IS WRONG- RIGHT! I AM RAS CARDO, THE CREATOR.

RAS CARDO REGGAE

(c)(p)- THERE ARE SERIOUS RISKS TO LIVING IN PARADISE. SUCH ARE THE WAYS IN JAMAICA. IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT FOR THE MEDIA AND ITS CONSPIRATORS TO COME FORTH NOW AND TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT MY TRENCH TOWN REGGAE CREATION, AFTER HAVING PERPETRATED LIES ON OUR HISTORY FOR SO LONG. HOWEVER, AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE BY THE LATE- MICHAEL MANLEY AS PRIME MINISTER TO DO SO.

RAS CARDO REGGAE

**(c)(p) - IT IS A GREAT JOY TO BE ABLE TO TOUCH PEOPLE, TO TOUCH THEIR LIVES, THEIR MINDS, THEIR CONDITIONS, TO HELP THEM SEE THAT THEY ARE NOT ALONE, THAT INDEED SOMEONE(YOU) CARED ABOUT THEM. THAT IS THE TRUE ESSENCE OF LIFE. THAT IS LOVE IN ITS PUREST SENSE. IT IS THE HIGHEST STANDARD TO LIVE UP TO, AND NOT MANY WANT THAT BURDEN, FOR INDEED THE ROAD IS NEVER EASY. THAT IS HOW I LIVE MY LIFE HELPING AND LOVING OTHERS. I AM RAS CARDO FROM TRENCH TOWN.

RAS CARDO REGGAE

**(C)(P) SO, I ASK AMERICA- WHAT COLOR OF SKIN PEOPLE HAVE YOUR-JOHN LOCKE- LIFE, LIBERTY, AND PROPERTY IN THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS PHILOSOPHY? VIOLENCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN WHAT DEFINES YOU. WHITES RAN FROM RELIGIOUS OPPRESSION AND PERSECUTION IN EUROPE TO AMERICA. BLACKS CAME TO AMERICA AS FORCED SLAVE LABOR TO WHITES ON PLANTATIONS. I WILL SAY TO AMERICA- VIOLENCE WILL NOT SAVE YOU. RACISM AND HATE WILL NOT SAVE YOU. EUGENICS WILL NOT SAVE YOU. JAH WILL MOVE THE EARTH FROM UNDER YOUR FEET. YOU STILL HAVE SOME TIME TO SAVE YOURSELF. NO ONE WINS A WAR. WISE UP!!!

RAS CARDO REGGAE

**(C)(P)- NEPOTISM AND DESPOTISM WILL LASTS ONLY FOR A SHORT WHILE. FOR LIKE A DEAD FISH IN THE HEAT OF THE MID-DAY SUN IT IS BOUND TO ROT AND SPOIL

RAS CARDO REGGAE

**(c)(p)-THERE IS A MOVEMENT IN BABYLON TO:- GANGJAGRICULTURALIZE- RAS SPIRITUAL HERB. I WILL TELL YOU MORE ABOUT THIS TERM I COINED TO SHOW WHAT THEY WILL DO TO RASTA AND THE HERB IN YEARS TO COME. I AM RAS CARDO WHO CREATED REGGAE. I AM-R.H.A.T.I.D- REGGAE HIGHEST AUTHORITY TRUTHFULLY INFORMING THE DIASPORA. THIS IS PROPHECY. I HAVE ALSO TOLD YOU ABOUT-R.A.S.P.E.C.T1.

RAS CARDO REGGAE

*** (C)(P)- I , RAS CARDO- REGGAE CREATOR, WILL SAY THIS REGGAE TRUTH:- LEGHORN COGHILE FROM TRENCH TOWN WROTE THE LYRICS FOR THE SONG-THEM BELLY FULL. THIS WAS THE SAME SONG WHICH BOB MARLEY MADE FAMOUS. I WAS THERE WITH THEM IN TRENCH TOWN WHEN ALL THIS WAS DONE. I KNOW THE DETAILS SURROUNDING THE WRITINGS OF THESE LYRICS. I WAS THERE!

RAS CARDO REGGAE

***(c) I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THERE ARE HOSPITALS AND SOME RESTAURANTS, AND OTHER FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS IN AMERICA THAT- THROW AWAY GOOD FOOD- INSTEAD OF GIVING IT TO PEOPLE IN NEED, SUCH AS THE HOMELESS, SICK AND INFIRM, AND THOSE IN POOR AREAS. WHEN I ASK ABOUT THIS I AM TOLD THAT- THE GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS FORBID THEM TO GIVE IT AWAY TO THOSE IN NEED BECAUSE OF IMPENDING LEGAL PROBLEMS WHICH MAY ARISE. WHAT A DAMN SHAME! I FIND MYSELF HELPING TO FEED THE -STREET PEOPLE- ON MY OWN ACCORD AND RESOURCES. THEY ALSO HAVE TOLD ME THEIR STORIES.

RAS CARDO REGGAE

***(C)(P) I WAS THE FIRST TO CREATE A YOUTH GROUP AND CLUB TO FOCUS ON THE EDUCATION OF YOUTHS IN TRENCH TOWN AND SURROUNDING AREAS. THIS WAS IN 1963 WHILE I WAS STILL A STUDENT AT-ST. GEORGES COLLEGE- HIGH SCHOOL. TRENCH TOWN WILL ALWAYS BE MY WATER HOLE FROM WHICH I SHALL DRINK OF AFRICA TO QUENCH MY THIRSTTHIS IS ALSO ONE OF MY MANY ORIGINAL QUOTES.

RAS CARDO REGGAE

***(C)(P) - I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE DAY COME WHEN MEN WOULD NOT BE SO STUPID TO WAGE WAR AGAINST EACH OTHER. FOR NO ONE WINS A WAR, AND FOR ALL THOSE WHO THINK OTHERWISE, KNOW THIS:- THOSE WHO GIVE THE OK TO START WARS ARE NEVER THE ONES WHO ARE DYING IN IT. PETER TOSH, BOB MARLEY, AND I REASONED ABOUT THIS BEFORE THEY WERE KILLED BY EVIL MEN. HAILE SELASSIE SPOKE ABOUT IT TOO. PETER'S LAST ALBUM WAS TITLED:- NO NUCLEAR WAR. REGGAE AND RASTAFARI IS ALWAYS FOR PEACE. I, RAS CARDO SAYS: LETS ERASE THE HATE.

RAS CARDO REGGAE

***(C)(P) -I HAVE A MOST SALIENT MESSAGE TO ALL THOSE IN -THE JAMAICAN MUSIC INDUSTRY, AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS. THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THEIR MIDST AS INFILTRATES WHOM THEY ARE TRUSTING WITH THEIR IDEAS ON REGGAE. MOST OF THESE PEOPLE ARE FROM FOREIGN LANDS WHO SEEK WITH ONE DIRE INTENT. THOSE IN THE U.W.I AND OTHER PLACES HAVE BECOME -NESTING GROUNDS FOR THESE MOLES.BEWARE, THE DECEIT!!! I SAY THIS- WITHOUT PREJUDICE. I WILL NOT DISCLOSE MY SOURCES AND METHODS.

RAS CARDO REGGAE

***(C)(P) COMMUNAL COOPERATION IS THE KEY TO OUR SURVIVAL IN THIS TECHNOTYRANNICAL REVOLUTION-RAS CARDO

RAS CARDO REGGAE

***(C)(P) I SPEAK TRENCH TOWN- PAST, PRESENT, AND THOSE TO COME. BABYLON SYSTEM SAID-CAN ANYTHING GOOD COME OUT OF TRENCH TOWN? WE PROVED THEM WRONG, VERY WRONG!! I WONDER WHAT THEY ARE SAYING NOW.

RAS CARDO REGGAE

***(c)(p) I WILL CHALLENGE ANYONE TODAY AND SAY THIS:- IF BOB MARLEY AND PETER TOSH WERE ALIVE TODAY, THOSE WHO TRY TO SELL THEM, THEIR IMAGES, AND WORKS WOULD NEVER GET AWAY WITH IT! I MUST ALSO ADD- IF THEIR SONS AND DAUGHTERS ALLOWS THIS TO HAPPEN TO THEIR FATHERS, BEING RAPED IN THEIR GRAVES, THEN THE CONSEQUENCES ARE THEIRS TO BEAR. I KNEW THEIR FATHERS BEFORE THEY WERE BORN. I KNOW MY BRETHRENS SPIRITS LIVES! JAH LIVES! RASTAFARI IS, AND LIVES! I AM RAS CARDO FROM TRENCH TOWN.
