Smile Jamaica Ark-Ives: March 17, 2018 (Stream + Tracklist) – False Flag, Fake News or World War III

Leave a comment
Wars and rumors of war

Greetings,

<Cold War 2.0 via Reggae Music; 20 sec.>

I’m worried. Truly. The recent poisoning attack of a Russian double agent in Britain has the world ready to send ambassadors home and fire up the war machine.

“Highly probable.” “Overwhelmingly likely” is what I have seen about this issue. I think before it leads to nuclear confrontation, we need to see Vlad’s fingerprints all over the toxin.

We’ve been down this road before: yellowcake, (phantom) weapons of mass destruction, aluminum tubes. I don’t trust the Deep State warmongers on any they say through their Presstitutes pushing war for ratings.

 

These political cartoons aren’t helping the matter. War is in the air.

<Britain vs. Russia; Saudi Arabia vs. Iran; Turkey vs. United States = World War III; 30 sec.>

So, I do what I always with the only pulpit I have: Reggae music and prophecy about Wars and Rumours of war from the original Cold War.

Oh, and if you think I’m being a nervous nelly. I predicted the whole Facebook scandal as well back in 2008 when I was covering politics for KRCL.

bless, Bobbylon

Smile Jamaica Ark-Ives: March 3, 2018 (Stream + Tracklist): Lemonhead vs. The Cheetolini!

Leave a comment
Bad Vlad Putin or as I call him affectionately – Lemonhead

<World War III – soon come? 54 sec.>

Greetings,

My first semester at college – Montana State, Fall 1983:

  1. Soviet Union shot down a Korean jet liner
  2. Beirut bombing of US army barracks killing hundreds
  3. America invaded Grenada

It looked like the Cold War was getting “thawed”. Yet, by the time I graduated from the University of Utah in 1989, the wall had fallen and the Cold War was over.

Not so fast….

Wheel it forward to 2016. Trump defeats Hillary. How could that have happened? Let’s blame the Russians. Add in Syria and Ukraine, the recent aggressive update of our Nuclear Response Review. And 1 Trillion in nuclear “improvements.” Mueller’s investigation and innuendo against Russian “hacking”.

Rachel Maddow might call me Ivan, but the reality is:

Rachel Maddow – peddling war for higher ratings

Russia, no longer the Soviet Union, is feeling the strain of a new Cold War. Their incumbent President, Vladimir Putin, has an election of his own next week. His State of the Nation was a warning to America  and its allies.

I no longer do Radioactive political interviews on KRCL  but I still follow the news. I am worried a confrontation in the Syrian Panhandle could lead to World War III.

See that splotch of Green in the Northeast. That is where World War III could start

Of course, my antennae is attuned to Reggae as prophecy. I played a Justin Hinds song on this Smile Jamaica Ark-Ive edition that brought me right back to Sept. 1983.

So until the bombs drop, enjoy this March edition of Smile Jamaica. Forward ever, backwards never. War Time is over!

bless, Bobbylon

Smile Jamaica Ark-Ives: Jah-tober 14, 2017 (Stream + Tracklist): Anti-Trump Deep State & UFO Conspiri-facts!

Leave a comment

<Government UFO confirmation leaks; 2 min. 11 sec.>

Greetings,

Listen to the above clip on the crumbling UFO conspiracy wall….

I knew Donald Trump was going to be President….

I Praise Anu every Friday with my buddies Aquaboy and Mike. Bourbon, music and political/musical discussions.

My Anunnaki ancestors enjoyed partaking of the Tree of Lie

When I said Trump was gonna beat Hillary “bigly”, my mates looked at me and said, “Too much Space Dust has made you delusional.”

I wasn’t convinced. I said: As soon as Hillary called Trump supporters “Deplorable” she was toast. Same with Romney in 2012 when he said 47% of Americans are deadbeats.

After the Revenge of the Deplorables….I made another Friday prediction:

I was Deplorable before it was cool

The Deep State wouldn’t accept an outsider/game show host like The Cheetolini as legit.

Sure enough: Fake News, Russian “hacking”, Hillary whining and leaks out of the government on all fronts.

My prediction: Government would leak in two areas to embarrass Trump

  1. UFO’s
  2. JFK

The first half of my prediction just came true:

From “real news” Huffington Post*

<UFOria – Gov’t admits it! – No more scoffing!>

Fmr. Manager of DOD Aerospace Threat Program: “UFOs are Real”

*98.2% sure Hlilary would win

Something extraordinary was revealed today. Former high-level officials and scientists with deep black experience who have always remained in the shadows came forward on one platform. These insiders have long-standing connections to government agencies which may have programs investigating unidentifed aerial phenomena (UAP/UFOs).

Next stop on the Trump Derangement Express:

Who killed JFK? (If you put Governor John Connally in an elevated jump seat between the driver and the Kennedy’s sitting lower in the passenger seat, Oswald’s shooting lines up.) Sorry to disappoint!

bless, Bobbylon

Hoping for an Alien Intervention.
