<How to deal with the Trump-o-calypse: Let’s Go Out With a Bang!>
Greetings,
Hope everyone had a nice Holiday. I spent the first week at my sister’s in Albuquerque. My parents just became Snowbirds, so my second week was in Phoenix.
Phoenix is a great town for vinyl. CDs are becoming irrelevant, but the racks are full of black wax and lots of people doing what I do for 30 years: cratedig. So I will be visting often in the months of Dec-March. Otherwise, vinyl melts from the store to the car!
Found some nice gems to play in 2017. For over a decade now, the first show of the year on Smile Jamaica is devoted to what I call Mutant Dub: Jamaican drum and bass with modern electronic sounds and textures awash in echodelia.
The 3 hour Mutant Dub World Tour!
As Joe Strummer sang, “Knives to the trebel!”
Crank the volume!
Set bass phasers to stun!
Happy New Year. Forward ever, backwards never!
bless, robt

Smile Jamaica Presents a lesson in Astro-Theology
On (or thereabouts) the 4th of July 1947, an Alien spacecraft crashed in Roswell, New Mexico. Smile Jamaica celebrates 3 hours of Alien stylee; 1 min. 16 sec.
Roswell Daily R soecord: July 9, 1947 – no doubt they crashed, so Extra Terrestrials are real
<Two stories on the date of the Roswell crash>
True story on Roswell:
My brother in law sells high tech pipe to agricultural, research labs, salsa manufacturers. He lives in Albuquerque but travels the length of New Mexico.
One day in Roswell he asked his customer about the 1947 UFO crash. Was it real or bullflop?
His customer said: the local mortuary owner, salt of the earth rural America. Veteran. Straight shooter. The Air Force came to him and asked him to provide 3 children’s size coffins.
“If that’s what he said, that’s how it happened”
Roswell 1947 – Do not scoff!
Look to the skies! Do not scoff!

Smile Jamaica’s Alien media consumption
Friday Nights
Ancient Aliens TV – Friday Nights on the History Channel. This explores the various connections between Earth’s history and Alien contact before there was recorded history.
<My love of Sumerian history led to UFO-ria; > 2 min 6 sec
Basically Aliens from Nibiru called Anunnaki (Those who came down from the sky) who came to Earth b/c we had the gold they needed for their ruined planet. They were essentially too lazy to mine the gold themselves so they created a race of humans to do the work. When the humans got too noisy, they were destroyed with a flood.
Click image for a better view of how Nibiru’s orbit intersects with Earth and the Sun
The 12th Planet Nibiru – 9 planets, Earth’s moon, the Sun, Nibiru. Elliptical orbit from outside the galaxy toward the Sun
Every 3600 years the orbit of Nibiru approaches earth: The Anunnaki drop their space ships to space ports in:
Sumer (lower Iraq)
Sinai (Egypt) – the pyramids are guide posts for entry
Baalbek (Syria)
Mohenjo Daro (Pakistan)
Humans mine the gold. Nibiru whips around the sun heading back out to the edge of our Universe, the ships go up and land on Nibiru for the journey home.
They will be back in 3440 AD.
2. Zecharia Sitchin
An Azerbaijani Jew who translated thousands of cuneiform texts that showed what we know from the Bible and Greek Mythology were actually much older from original source stories from Sumer.
His book series, Earth Chronicles, discusses these topics
Zecharia Sitchin – the original Astro Theologist7 volumes of Aliens on Earth. Stories from the Bible and Greek Mythology came after their Sumerian originals
What have I learned from my bingewatching and binge reading?
All those stories from the Bible and parts of stories from Greek Mythology, Iraqi A Thousand and One Nights, Hindi religious literature is all “plagiarized” from my ancestors the Sumerians (I am an Assyrian from that area on my mom’s side. Assyrians adapted from the Sumerian cosmology).
What is in the Bible or world literature that relates to Alien space travel?

Greetings,
After a brutal month of bad/chunky/polluted air in Salt Lake City, it was so nice to have 60 degrees for the last Smile Jamaica of winter (Praise Jah!).
I have lived in SLC for coming up on 30 years. Seems like each winter the Inversion Galore gets worse and worse.
Really vexes me when the weather man talks about “inversion” or “haze”. Yeah, bullflop – it’s smog and pollution.
Thankfully, I don’t have respiratory problems, but even I got hit with a mild dose of bronchitis this month.
Smile Jamaica’s bronchial cure: Allegra-D in the morning, Mucinex at Noon, Flonase whiff before bedtime. As much water as I can slug down.
One thing about Spring: Hay fever. But at least the mornings are lighter and I get to go home in daylight.
Forward ever, backwards never!
bless, robt
