With the exceptions of North Korea and Cuba, the communist world has merged onto the capitalist highway in a couple different ways during the twenty-first century. As you’ve read, free-trade imperialism and its cheap agricultural imports pushed farmers into the cities and into factory work, lowering the global price of manufacturing labor and glutting the world market with stuff. Forward-thinking states such as China and Vietnam invested in high-value-added production capacity and managed labor organizing, luring links from the global electronics supply chain and jump-starting capital investment. Combined with capital’s hesitancy to invest in North Atlantic production facilities, as well as a disinclination toward state-led investment in the region, Asian top-down planning erased much of the West’s technological edge. If two workers can do a single job, and one worker costs less, both in wages and state support, why pick the expensive one? Foxconn’s 2017 plan to build a U.S. taxpayer–subsidized $10 billion flat-panel display factory in Wisconsin was trumpeted by the president, but it was a fiasco that produced zero screens. The future cost of labor looks to be capped somewhere below the wage levels many people have enjoyed, and not just in the West.
The left-wing economist Joan Robinson used to tell a joke about poverty and investment, something to the effect of: The only thing worse than being exploited by capitalists is not being exploited by capitalists. It’s a cruel truism about the unipolar world, but shouldn’t second place count for something? When the Soviet project came to an end, in the early 1990s, the country had completed world history’s biggest, fastest modernization project, and that didn’t just disappear. Recall that Cisco was hyped to announce its buyout of the Evil Empire’s supercomputer team. Why wasn’t capitalist Russia able to, well, capitalize? You’re already familiar with one of the reasons: The United States absorbed a lot of human capital originally financed by the Soviet people. American immigration policy was based on draining technical talent in particular from the Second World. Sergey Brin is the best-known person in the Moscow-to-Palo-Alto pipeline, but he’s not the only one.
Look at the economic composition of China and Russia in the wake of Soviet dissolution: Both were headed toward capitalist social relations, but they took two different routes. The Russian transition happened rapidly. The state sold off public assets right away, and the natural monopolies such as telecommunications and energy were divided among a small number of skilled and connected businessmen, a category of guys lacking in a country that frowned on such characters but that grew in Gorbachev’s liberalizing perestroika era. Within five years, the country sold off an incredible 35 percent of its national wealth. Russia’s richest ended the century with a full counterrevolutionary reversal of their fortunes, propelling their income share above what it was before the Bolsheviks took over. To accomplish this, the country’s new capitalists fleeced the most vulnerable half of their society. “Over the 1989–2016 period, the top 1 percent captured more than two-thirds of the total growth in Russia,” found an international group of scholars, “while the bottom 50 percent actually saw a decline in its income.” Increases in energy prices encouraged the growth of an extractionist petro-centered economy. Blood-covered, teary, and writhing, infant Russian capital crowded into the gas and oil sectors. The small circle of oligarchs privatized unemployed KGB-trained killers to run “security,” and gangsters dominated politics at the local and national levels. They installed a not particularly well-known functionary—a former head of the new intelligence service FSB who also worked on the privatization of government assets—as president in a surprise move on the first day of the year 2000. He became the gangster in chief.
Vladimir Putin’s first term coincided with the energy boom, and billionaires gobbled up a ludicrous share of growth. If any individual oligarch got too big for his britches, Putin was not beyond imposing serious consequences. He reinserted the state into the natural monopolies, this time in collaboration with loyal capitalists, and his stranglehold on power remains tight for now, despite the outstandingly uneven distribution of growth. Between 1980 and 2015, the Russian top 1 percent grew its income an impressive 6.2 percent per year, but the top .001 percent has maintained a growth rate of 17 percent over the same period. To invest these profits, the Russian billionaires parked their money in real estate, bidding up housing prices, and stashed a large amount of their wealth offshore. Reinvestment in Russian production was not a priority—why go through the hassle when there were easier ways to keep getting richer?
While Russia grew billionaires instead of output, China saw a path to have both. As in the case of Terry Gou, the Chinese Communist Party tempered its transition by incorporating steadily increasing amounts of foreign direct investment through Hong Kong and Taiwan, picking partners and expanding outward from the special economic zones. State support for education and infrastructure combined with low wages to make the mainland too attractive to resist. (Russia’s population is stagnant, while China’s has grown quickly.) China’s entry into the World Trade Organization, in 2001, gave investors more confidence. Meanwhile, strong capital controls kept the country out of the offshore trap, and state development priorities took precedence over extraction and get-rich-quick schemes. Chinese private wealth was rechanneled into domestic financial assets—equity and bonds or other loan instruments—at a much higher rate than it was in Russia. The result has been a sustained high level of annual output growth compared to the rest of the world, the type that involves putting up an iPhone City in a matter of months. As it has everywhere else, that growth has been skewed: only an average of 4.5 percent for the bottom half of earners in the 1978–2015 period compared to more than 10 percent for the top .001 percent. But this ratio of just over 2–1 is incomparable to Russia’s 17–.5 ration during the same period.
Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, certain trends have been more or less unavoidable. The rich have gotten richer relative to the poor and working class—in Russia, in China, in the United States, and pretty much anywhere else you want to look. Capital has piled into property markets, driving up the cost of housing everywhere people want to live, especially in higher-wage cities and especially in the world’s financial centers. Capitalist and communist countries alike have disgorged public assets into private pockets. But by maintaining a level of control over the process and slowing its tendencies, the People’s Republic of China has built a massive and expanding postindustrial manufacturing base.
It’s important to understand both of these patterns as part of the same global system rather than as two opposed regimes. One might imagine, based on what I’ve written so far, that the Chinese model is useful, albeit perhaps threatening, in the long term for American tech companies while the Russian model is irrelevant. Some commentators have phrased this as the dilemma of middle-wage countries on the global market: Wages in China are going to be higher than wages in Russia because wages in Russia used to be higher than wages in China. But Russia’s counterrevolutionary hyper-bifurcation has been useful for Silicon Valley as well; they are two sides of the same coin. Think about it this way: If you’re a Russian billionaire in the first decades of the twenty-first century looking to invest a bunch of money you pulled out of the ground, where’s the best place you could put it? The answer is Palo Alto.
Malcolm Harris, Palo Alto

nicolas maduro: since becoming president of venezuela in 2013 i've overseen more than 20,000 extrajudicial killings and 7 million venezuelans have been displaced
nicolas maduro: the state controls the media and content that makes the government look unfavourable will not be broadcast
nicolas maduro: i'm fully in support of russia's actions in ukraine and have close ties with vladimir putin
nicolas maduro: i rewrote the constitution in 2017 to make it easier to hold onto power for as long as possible, then i called an election early and banned the opposition parties from participating in it
nicolas maduro: this year's election had significant irregularities including censorship of voter information websites and suppression of voter registration leading to millions of venezuelans being unable to cast their vote
nicolas maduro: i announced the results of the election before the votes had been counted and i have refused to release the vote tallies. i definitely won though. the vote count was accurate to within
nicolas maduro: i announced the results of the election before the votes had been counted and i have refused to release proof of the vote tallies
nicolas maduro: the only countries to publicly congratulate me on winning the election are russia, china, cuba, and iran, none of which have free and fair elections
nicolas maduro: the carter center, an independent pro-democracy organisation, have pointed out numerous electoral irregularities and concluded that the voting figures i reported are 'statistically improbable'. they have concluded that they cannot verify the results
nicolas maduro: when other countries in south america asked for confirmation of the election results, i responded by suspending flights and cutting off power to their embassies
nicolas maduro: vote tallies supplied by poll watchers do not match the election result. so i've had a lot of them detained and many have had to flee their homes
nicolas maduro: i'm also cracking down on protesters and encouraging people to use an app to anonymously report protesters to the state. protestors and opposition politicians are being detained and killed and i have assured people that the full force of the law will be used against them
nicolas maduro: the united states, and many other countries, have expressed concern about all of this, and indeed have been expressing concern for several years about me, my policies, and the many ways that my presidency resembles a dictatorship
nicolas maduro: free palestine tho :)
people on this fucking website: the man is a hero! the people have spoken! the usa are trying to stage a coup because they don't like the fair results of a democratic election because the leader that venezuelans have chosen is pro-palestine! daddy maduro says fuck zionists 🥰

Julius Scott’s legendary study tells [...] of the unrest of “masterless” communities, as he terms them, in the late eighteenth-century Caribbean and its implications for the Atlantic World. This unrest was undergirded by what he terms a “common wind” of seditious political news circulating through an increasingly mobile and interconnected region. He deftly sets the context [...] to imperial tensions that culminated in uprisings and revolutions within [...] the French, British, and Spanish Empires. [...] He builds what is this field-defining work from a triangulated analysis of three central hubs of the colonial Caribbean in terms of [...] prosperity in the plantation economy, and political importance to these aforementioned empires: Saint-Domingue [Haiti], Jamaica, and Cuba. But he also explores similar occurrences within [...] Martinique and Guadeloupe for the French, Venezuela and Trinidad for the Spanish, and Dominica and Grenada for the British. He also includes [...] the engagement of the newly formed United States in this network, reinforcing the broader Atlantic impact of the common wind’s radical currents.
---
Chapter 1 explores the upheaval afoot in the mid-1700s colonial Caribbean through a closer look at the movements of a range of actors including enslaved runaways, military deserters, contraband smugglers, free people of color, and poor whites hustling in the islands’ urban centers and surrounding countrysides.
A variety of settings - including the fringes of plantations, maroon settlements, town-based markets, taverns, hospitals, barracks, and wharves - might presumably, if read with the archival grain, illuminate the map of state control. Instead, in Scott’s analysis, these represent the contours of the working class’s unlawful movements and ultimately their fraying of the colonial order, anticipating what Stephanie M. H. Camp [...] would aptly name [...] the “rival geography” of slave society.
---
Chapter 2 shows how sailors’ illicit forms of mobility [...] blurred the bounds between land and sea in this narrative of popular dissent. Their movements [...] as social beings and political dissidents bled into and helped sustain similar kinds of illicit commerce and socializing [...]. Chapters 3 and 4 demonstrate how the common wind consistently blew subversive ideas into and around the Caribbean, much to officials’ chagrin. Scott here homes in on the politically volatile era from the late 1770s through the late 1790s, which saw declarations of war, drastic changes in slavery policy [...] and the emergence of U.S., French, and, most significantly, Haitian revolutionary uprising. [...] [E]nslaved communities everywhere in the region followed as intently as they could as the campaign of the enslaved rebels in Saint-Domingue began in 1791. [...] Political news, no matter how hard officials in the colonies and the metropoles tried to block it, spilled into all levels of society [...]. What flowed through all of these channels animated questions about master-slave relations, mercantilist policy, individual rights [...]. Scott carefully traces the influence of the unfolding Haitian Revolution on well-planned but eventually thwarted uprisings of enslaved people in the Venezuelan port city Coro, the Dutch colony of Curaçao, and the parish of Pointe Coupee in then Spanish Louisiana, all in 1795. He also illuminates the multiple instances of inspiration in the 1790s evidenced in enslaved communities throughout the United States [...].
---
Essentially Scott reveals that the Age of Revolutions cannot be understood without comprehending black resistance in times of war and peace. The tale of Phebe, one of many enslaved Jamaican female runaways who became an itinerant higgler hiding in plain sight in urban spaces like Kingston, or the story of the 1790 mutiny of four enslaved sailors who overtook the Saint Kitts sloop the Nancy with respective origins in the Caribbean, West Africa, and the U.S. South, which Scott called a “microcosm” of the Atlantic, are but two of multiple narratives he includes to show that enslaved people [...] actively built and sustained those circuits via their multilingualism, their savvy, and above all their dedication to achieving a state of masterlessness [...].
This could be achieved not just through formal manumission processes, but through running away and re-creating new lives and livelihoods [...]. The [...] knowledge that these dissidents obtained in their labors allowed them to escape to lives not “off the grid,” but rather in the centers of commercial and state activity, ensconced in communities of opposition and poised to obtain news that prepared them well for their next moves in their albeit precarious existence. [...]
Scott complicates earlier framings of the oppositional working class as strictly of European origin [...]; [...] Scott’s unpublished dissertation [...] influenced the interventions made in Linebaugh and Rediker’s The Many-Headed Hydra [...] years later. [...] He centers enslaved people within the revolutionary Atlantic not just as workers [...] but also as strategic thinkers, and he does so long before it was popular to do so in this field of history. [...] [H]e demonstrates how so many ordinary enslaved women and men regularly engaged in quotidian forms of fugitivity across various imperial territories of the Caribbean [...]. The dissertation also came several years in advance of the still pivotal call advanced by Michel-Rolph Trouillot’s 1995 Silencing the Past, about the denied centrality of the Haitian Revolution to the Age of Revolutions in its time and in retrospect. Scott’s work undeniably influenced many Atlantic historians [...]; it is also a genuinely exciting read.

As we've entered into the 2024 election year, I Beg you all that feel disappointment and rage at the disgraceful excuses for politicians we have in the US rn to look into the campaign of the two women shown in this video.
Claudia de la Cruz and Karina Garcia are running for President and VP in 2024. Here's their campaign video, as I can only include 1 vid per post. And here is their website.
I implore everyone who has the ability to vote in the November US election to read up on them.
Claudia De la Cruz (Presidential Candidate) is a mother, popular educator, community organizer and theologian. Being at the nexus of many different projects, organizations and social movements, Claudia connects different groups of people to link and merge struggles together in the overarching fight for justice. Born in the South Bronx to immigrant parents from the Dominican Republic, she was nourished by the Black and Caribbean working class communities of the Bronx and Washington Heights in the 1980s and 90s. At an early age, she was already questioning the conditions of poverty, violence, and oppression in her neighborhood, and what she saw and experienced served as her first entry point to understanding working class consciousness. When she was 13, Claudia began her political organizing work at her home church—Iglesia Episcopal Santa Maria (later the Iglesia San Romero de Las Américas–UCC), grounding her work on principles of liberation theology. She actively participated in campaigns to free political prisoners; to get the U.S. Navy out of Vieques, Puerto Rico; to end the U.S. blockade against Cuba; for the freedom of Palestine; against police terror—to name a few. In high school, she became a peer educator, conducting workshops on reproductive health and safe sex at community hubs and progressive churches, particularly for youth in the Bronx. It was through this work and her experiences as a working class Black Caribbean young woman that she understood there was only one solution to our collective problems: to fight for a better future, a socialist future
-
Karina Garcia (VP Candidate) is a Chicana organizer and popular educator who has been fighting for a better world since she was 17 years old as a high school student in California. From El Barrio in New York City to the border areas of Texas, she has helped lead campaigns against landlord abuses, wage theft, and police brutality, as well as fights for reproductive justice, immigrants rights and student financial aid reform. She is a founder of the Justice Center en El Barrio in New York City and is a member of the Central Committee of the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
Karina’s father migrated to the U.S. from Mexico when he was just 16 years old, and the will of working-class immigrants like him to survive and thrive inspired her to take on life with determination. This served her well when Karina received a full scholarship to study at Columbia University. She moved across the country by herself, knowing that she had to seize upon every opportunity to give back—a single year of tuition was the equivalent of her family's entire household income. As soon as she arrived, she joined every conceivable progressive organization on campus. She led struggles to expand financial aid for low-income students, for immigrant and worker rights, and to speak out against the Iraq war. In 2006, her activism received national attention when she led a campaign to confront and shut down the anti-immigrant fascist militia, the Minuteman Project. When Karina took a semester off to do a speaking tour in California, she met with high school and college students to keep building the movement for immigrant rights. That same year, she joined the Party for Socialism and Liberation. Graduating with a degree in Economics, Karina went on to become a New York City high school math teacher. After school, she advised a student group that protested against budget cuts, the Iraq war, police brutality and anti-immigrant laws. In 2012, she moved into a national organizing position for the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice where she worked for nearly a decade training immigrant women and working-class Latina activists in New York, Texas, Virginia and Florida.
[Taken from the About The Candidates section on their website.]
Understand that despite the mainstream medias desperate attempts to make us believe that our choices are really just Biden and Trump that that is not true.
We have other options.
We have better options.

Havana, May 11 — The Cuban Conga Against Homophobia and Transphobia took its message of “Love is the law” to the central avenues of the capital’s Vedado neighborhood, along with demands for a free Palestine and against the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
Representatives of Cuban LGBTQIA+ activism and friends from other countries joined the parade that called for “All rights for all people,” convened by the National Center for Sexual Education (Cenesex) from May 3 to 18 within the framework of the Cuban Days Against Homophobia and Transphobia.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep (but I have promises to keep)
With the war between the Galra and the rest of the Galaxy over, Lance has been living back in Cuba tending to his farm, spending his days talking with kids, and telling stories about the late Princess Allura and the Paladins of Voltron. When one night he gets a miraculous opportunity to sleep, he is hopelessly desperate in his longing for a different outcome after the war. The question now, though, was what would he do if he actually had a chance to change everything?
A Time Travel fanfiction centered around Lance coming to terms with his situation and trying his best to change things for the better!
This is just the first chapter out of many, I promise! It will be canon compliant for a while too.
It will have past/current(?) Allurance (Lance still having his feelings for her), then later developing into Klance for endgame!
Anyway, if you think this is interesting, here's the link so feel free to take a look!

“We need the historian and philosopher to give us with trenchant pen, the story of our forefathers, and let our soul and body, with phosphorescent light, brighten the chasm that separates us. We should cling to them just as blood is thicker than water. American Negro must remake his past in order to make his future.”
...
Arturo Alfonso Schomburg, collector, archivist, writer, activist, and important figure of the Harlem Renaissance was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico on January 24, 1874. His mother was a black woman originally from St. Croix, Danish Virgin Islands (now the U.S. Virgin Islands), and his father was a Puerto Rican of German ancestry.
Seventeen-year-old Schomburg migrated to New York City in 1891. Very active in the liberation movements of Puerto Rico and Cuba, he founded, in 1892, Las dos Antillas, a cultural and political group that worked for the islands’ independence from Spain. After the collapse of the Cuban revolutionary struggle, and the cession of Puerto Rico to the United States, Schomburg, disillusioned, turned his attention to the history and culture of Africa and what we know today as the African Diaspora.
In 1911, as its Master, he renamed El Sol de Cuba #38, a lodge of Cuban and Puerto Rican immigrants, as Prince Hall Lodge in honor of the first African American freemason. The same year, he founded, with journalist John Edward Bruce, the Negro Society for Historical Research which gathered African, Caribbean, and African American scholars. In 1922 he was elected president of the American Negro Academy.
Schomburg firmly believed that “The American Negro must remake his past in order to make his future.” The first part of this process was to reclaim history by evidencing Black people’s contributions to history and culture. Working as a mailroom supervisor at a Brooklyn bank, Schomburg spent his free time and resources, and his retirement after 1930, collecting materials on Africa and its Diaspora. He traveled through the United States, Europe, and Latin America, amassing over 10,000 books, manuscripts, sheet music, photographs, newspapers, periodicals, pamphlets, and artwork.
The second phase of Schomburg’s project was to bring this knowledge to the public. He lent numerous items to schools, libraries, and conferences and organized exhibitions. He wrote articles for a diversity of publications: Marcus Garvey’s Negro World; the NAACP’s The Crisis edited by W. E. B. Du Bois; The Messenger, founded by Socialists A. Philip Randolph and Chandler Owen; the organ of the National Urban League, Opportunity; and Harlem’s newspaper, The Amsterdam News.
In 1926 the Carnegie Corporation bought Schomburg’s collection for $10,000 (about $125,000 today) on behalf of The New York Public Library. The collection was added to the Division of Negro Literature, History and Prints of the Harlem branch on 135th Street.
From 1929 to 1932 Schomburg worked as a curator at Fisk University’s library and was instrumental in expanding its collection from 100 to 4,600 items. Back in New York, he was appointed curator of The New York Public Library’s Harlem Division. He held the position until his death on June 10, 1938 in Brooklyn. He was 64. In his honor, the Division was renamed the Schomburg Collection of Negro Literature, History and Prints in 1940. Arturo Schomburg’s enduring legacy was further acknowledged when the Collection became the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture of The New York Public Library in 1972. With over 11 million items, it is one of the world’s foremost research centers on Africa and the African Diaspora.
Legendary.

Marina Núñez del Prado (17 October 1910 – 9 September 1995) was a celebrated Bolivian sculptor.
Marina Núñez del Prado was one of the most respected sculptors from Latin America. Núñez del Prado based many of her sculptures off of the female form as well as taking inspiration from animals and landscapes native to Bolivia. Her work is highly sensuous, with rolling curves. She carved from native Bolivian woods, as well as black granite, alabaster, basalt and white onyx. Perhaps one of her most famous works is "White Venus" (1960), a stylized female body in white onyx. Another celebrated work is "Mother and Child," sculpted in white onyx. Indigenous Bolivian cultures inspired much of her work.
Marina Nunez del Prado died in Lima, Peru on September 9, 1995, where she had spent the last twenty-five years of her life working. She left behind a legacy that significantly enriched Bolivian art and culture but was also a significant contribution to the practice of sculpture and Latin-American art. In her lifetime, she had traveled and accomplished so much and became as well known as the artist she was inspired by like Picasso or Gabriel Mistral.
Her physical legacy is the Museo de Nunez del Prado which was her family home. It now houses over 1000 of her works including drawings and sketches. The museum preserves the work of Nunez del Prado as well as contributions made by her sister who was a gifted goldsmith and painter and her father. Located in the center of the El Olivar Forest, the museum is a National Cultural Heritage site. Admission to the museum is free, but international visitors require personal identification such as a passport. Visits are guided by the curator.
Nunez del Prado’s non-physical legacy far extends beyond the borders of Peru. Her work has significantly impacted the field of sculpture both in Latin America and internationally. Her work has been a great influence in the collective identity of South American art. She has also been a subject in literature like work by the Argentine poet Alfonsina Storni, Uruguayan narrator Juana de Ibarbourou and Spanish poet Raphael Alberti. Since 1930 her work has impacted and been the source of admiration in countries such as Peru, Argentina, Uruguay, Germany, USA, Brazil, Spain, Italy, France, Cuba and Mexico.

Okay Fam;
Are you ready to process THIS...? Well, I highly recommend that you take a 10 minute break to check this. I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed. This post is for the patient, die-hard researcher with an ADULT attention span... my kind of inquiring mind. If you have the attention span of a 3-year old, please move on to the nearest MacDonald's commercial or "Empire" episode. Thank you.
The following is excerpted from 'caribbean-fever-community.com'...
'RITA MARLEY MURDERED BOB MARLEY'
(by Bunny Wailer)
“...Who the hell is Rita? Anderson or Jarret, for Rita could never be Marley because Robert Marley’s mother Mrs. (Malcolm) Booker had already filed for Robert to be a citizen of the U.S.A prior Robert marrying Rita in 1964 respectively. Rita knowing this tricked Robert into marrying her 2 days before he left. His mother, Mrs. Malcolm Booker, was highly upset for her son Robert.
Rita and her brother Wesley Anderson were both born in Cuba to mother, Miss Cynthia Beda Jarret. Rita’s Father Mr. Leroy Anderson was a tenor sax player of Jamaica, then also living in Cuba, finally died in Jamaica on January 18th 1997 under the cruel administration of Rita his own daughter. Rita’s mother Cynthia Beda Jarrett passed away in Canada June 17th 2013, abandoned and not acknowledged by Rita as how she chose to abandon her own children, creating that dark abusive Jezebelic character the world has come to know!
On May 11th 1981, Bob Marley died from Radio Active Ash given to him by Rita. This drug was given to Rita by Lloyd Christopher Blackwell to commit murder. This in the facilitating environment of 1976-1980 when the CIA placed an unusually large station in Jamaica, destabilizing the Government of Michael Manley and his supporters through the music that would have had
‘The Wailers’/Bob Marley as a target.
It was again Rita on September 11th 1987 who again joined with Dennis “Leppo” Loban to kill Peter Tosh, Free I and Peter’s doctor along with injuring Carlton “Santa” Davis, Peter’s drummer, Marlene Brown and Free I’s wife respectively. This occurred as the pressure grew on her around the New York case, where she took from Don Taylor $30,000,000 U.S dollars of Robert Marley’s money and was tried and found guilty of fraud along with David Steinberg, Marvin Zolt and deceased Louis Byles respectively.
What would the motivation be? Contemporaneous Court documents and Companies Office Of Jamaica correspondences will show that this was the time 1986/87 when she was looking to cover up her fraud charges in the New York courts by assuming ownership of Tuff Gong Records Ltd., owned by Robert Marley, Peter Tosh and I, Hon. Bunny Wailer. Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailers, stood in the way of this as she was looking to be charged for fraudulent conversion in signing away Wailers rights and Tuff Gong Trademarks and accepting funds in millions of dollars from Lord Christopher Blackwell.
Was it again Rita who killed her own aunt Ms. Viola Anderson; stopping her aunt from giving her house to her nephew “Vision” respectively. Who the Hell is Rita? Could Rita be “Jezebel” reincarnated? Continually charged and protected by Don Taylor on tour with Robert Marley as the I-Threes, she was acknowledged as a known Kleptomaniac.
Was it Rita who again along with Blackwell, smuggled a precious stone from South Africa for the thrill seeking high of a Kleptomaniac? Was it Rita again who robbed the African brother from Ghana of his families’ Legacy causing him to commit suicide? Not content on Robbing The Wailers she and Blackwell built a $20,000,000 studio in Ghana, stealing the name ‘Studio One’ to pass off selling that classic catalog of The Wailers. This would have to have burned down to the ground as it had!
Was it Rita again who killed the Japanese warrior at the Nyabhingi center Scotts Pass, Clarendon because she was condemned by the Rastafari Community for putting the Red, Gold and Green Rug on the floor for her special guests to walk on? She would later bring bulldozers to intimidate the Rastafari Elders there.
Who the Hell is Rita?
I, Bunny Wailer, am going to make quite sure that Rita and her accomplice Lord Christopher Blackwell pay for their vicious crimes in the court of law. Sela!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I am yours respectfully, Hon. Neville O. Livingston OJ, CD pka Bunny Wailer, JAH B. I am addressing your office regarding ‘The Wailers’ also consisting of the Late Hon. Robert Nesta Marley O.M., Hall Of Fame pka Bob and the Late Winston Hubert McIntosh O.M. pka Peter Tosh respectfully.
Three years prior 'The Wailers' career, Robert, Peter and I, Bunny didn't know Rita, as we were already a family of Father, Mother, Sons, Brothers, Sisters, Nieces, Nephews, Uncles; as we presently still are with the exception of Robert, Peter and Mother (Malcolm) Booker, killed by Rita and her accomplices, Lord Christopher Blackwell, Leppo and Dianne Jobson!
I am the survivor of ‘The Trinity’ ‘The Wailers’ from ‘Simmer Down’ on the Coxsone Studio One label up until ‘Catch A Fire’ and ‘Burnin’ albums on the Island Records Label respectively. The ending of ‘The Wailers’ catalog revealed Bunny Wailer to the international market place with the ‘Blackheart Man’ , ‘Protest’ and ‘Bunny Wailers Sings The Wailers’ albums in and around 1975-77 also on the Island Record label.
As Bunny Wailer, my involvement with Island Records officially governed and administrated by Lord Christopher Blackwell was only based on advances being paid by Island Records or Chris Blackwell regarding those three Bunny Wailer albums, and no royalties, up until presently herein 2013 respectively.
Since and around 1989 U.M.G. bought Island Records, and from then up until presently I, Bunny Wailer, have still not received any form of royalty payments or statements for all such albums from 1973 up until presently in 2013. I have also not received any payments regarding the sale and distribution of all the related albums from the manufacturing and distribution thereof.
Robert Nesta Marley in 1981 was pronounced dead by Radio Active Ash donated by the CIA to Lord Christopher Blackwell who passed the drug on to Rita who organized to put it in Robert’s food that killed him. In 1987 Rita again organized with parolee ‘Leppo’ along with Gangster ‘Yammie Yowie’ and his crew to go to Peter’s house where they killed Peter, Free I and Peter’s bush doctor injuring Peter’s drummer, Santa, Free I’s wife and Peter’s consort Marlene.
It was then afterwards, Robert’s mother Mrs. Malcolm Booker, who was the third killing, organized by Lord Christopher Blackwell and executed by Dianne Jobson killing Robert’s mother in her sleep. So between Rita, Blackwell and Dianne Jobson both Robert, Peter and Mrs (Malcolm) Booker were all killed by the organization and execution of all three accused murderers.
Now with these three killings, I, Bunny Wailer will be seeking Justice for and will never stop until all three killers are brought to Justice. And as for Robert’s $30,000,000 USD (thirty million dollars) that he Robert had left with Don Taylor for his children, that Rita somehow retrieved from Don Taylor, for this she along with David Steinberg, Marvin Zolt ad Louis Byles, who died during the USA court proceedings, were all tried and Robert Marley’s funds were retrieved and depleted by the USA Courts.
Neither of these three offenders and killers, Rita, Blackwell and Jobson have yet been penalized for these vicious crimes of murders and robbery, but I, Bunny Wailer, brother and son of these victims will be seeking the kind of Justice that will punish both Rita, Blackwell and Jobson for these their vicious crimes, done to my brothers and mother respectively. One member of these killings have already been imprisoned, ‘Leppo’, leaving three others to be charged and tried and convicted for their crimes by the Law and Justice.
If after Rita being tried in the USA for receiving from Don Taylor and denying Robert’s children, yet spending, Robert Marley’s $30,000,000 USD amongst murderers and crooks like David Steinberg, Marvin Zolt, Louis Byles; that only wanted her dead, how could Rita be involved in any of Robert Marley’s business when she Rita wasn’t even a Marley, because Mrs. Booker, Robert’s mother had already filed for him to be with her in the USA, prior Robert’s marriage to Rita.
Again in 1967-8 when Bunny was doing his false imprisonment of an 18 months sentence, his name was mentioned of being the father of Cedella, that could have caused the death of Rita and although Planno was suspected, it was a Rastafarian brethren named ‘Daggu’ who has been and still is Cedella’s father. Ask them both!
With this being the facts, why then isn’t Ziggy or Steve involved in the business surrounding Tuff Gong Records Ltd. instead of Cedella? Because Ziggy and Steve are sons of Robert Marley, while Cedella isn’t the daughter of Robert Marley, or Planno but of “Daggu”. Therefore if Rita has anything to do with Robert Marley, other than Ziggy and Steve, let this be seen because Rita is not a member of Tuff Gong Records Ltd. that is completely owned from start, and up until presently by Robert Nesta Marley O.M. and Hall Of Fame, Winston Hubert McIntosh O.M. and Neville ORiley Livingston OJ, CD and no one else.
These are just some very serious matters, that has to be accounted for surrounding ‘The Wailers’ and Tuff Gong Records Ltd. respectively.
It is quite obvious that Rita having killed two members of ‘The Wailers’ would be quite certain to try and do the same to the survivor ‘Bunny Wailer’. But let it be known and acknowledged that Rastafari guides and protects those who put their trust in H.I.M. and in only H.I.M. do I serve. I will not be afraid of the terror by night nor for the arrow that flieth by day nor the pestilence that trodeth in darkness nor for the destruction that wasteth at noon day, for a thousand shall fall at I side and tens of thousands at I right hand, for with I eyes shall I behold the reward of all evil doers! Sela!
Do you want to know what I, Bunny Wailer, think about Rita? Rita represents Jezebel, a known and noted demon mentioned of in the Holy Scriptures. What has become of Rita’s aunt, (Auntie) and father (Daddy) Roy Anderson, that Rita is supposed to be related to as Aunt and Father. When the demons were claiming my brother Robert Marley in his final flight to Jamiaca on the plane where he died and didn’t make it back to Jamaica alive, what was Rita doing, not to be by the side of ‘her man and King’ the great Robert Nesta Marley O.M. and Hall Of Fame, instead she Rita was killing her own aunt (Aunty) because Aunty wanted to give the house that she inherited and lived in to ‘Vision’ her nephew and Rita’s supposed cousin, that sung with The Soulettes and The Wailers in the 60’s respectively.
Why did Rita try to make the man that was supposed to be her father, Daddy Roy’ a talented tenor saxophonist of those era when Rita was yet a child to think before he died from frustrations and from Rita’s wicked and vicious neglect concerning the musical brother ‘Daddy Roy’ the father of Rita. Who the F_ _ K is Rita? Jezebel?
With Rita, Cedella and Blackwell celebrating Bob Marley’s documentary at the Emancipation Park on April 20th, 2012 and putting the colors of the Ethiopian Flag and colors of the rainbow on the ground, when all of the world’s tours that Rita has been a part of in Robert Marley’s name, hoisted the Red, Gold and Green, yet Rita and companions in celebrating Bob Marley, placed the colors Red, Gold and Green on the ground! If Bob is, or means that Robert isn’t, then who naturally is Marley? A member of The Wailers?
I, JAH Bunny Wailer is not here to fight against flesh and blood, but principalities and powers, rulers of the darkness, spiritual wickedness in high and low place! If Rita is or isn’t Jezebel, it doesn’t really matter, because Rita shall be Judged by Rastafari according to her works. Sela
These very serious information from I JAH B, Bunny Wailer to your office is to enlighten your awareness surrounding the tests, trials, crosses and tribulations of ‘The Wailers’ from 1963-4 up until presently in 2013 respectively. I do hope that you will not be misinformed to believe otherwise.
One Love, blessings and compliments of all seasons to you and your associates.
I Remain
Yours Raspactfully
Hon. Neville O. Livingston OJ, CD

Rastafari Greetings And Compliments Of All Seasons Globally,
I am yours respectfully, Hon. Neville Oriley Livingston OJ, CD receiving keys to the cities of Miami, Dade County and Oakland California U.S.A., surviving member of The Wailers, ‘Bunny Wailer’ also consisting of Hon. Robert Nesta (Bob) Marley O.M. and Hall Of Fame and Hon. Winston Hubert McIntosh O.M. pka Peter Tosh respectively. I do here-in express the works of The Wailers informationally and the way and manner of how the related companies exploiting The Wailers have expressed themselves illegally and why. I have also declared the defense in prosecuting and incriminating the violators of the rights and justice of The Wailers, to be decided in the Courts of Justice in the legal aim and objective of recovering ‘hundreds of millions’ of Pound Sterling and US Dollars that is due to ‘The Wailers’.
I will also be asking the Justice of how my mother Mrs. Malcom Booker and brothers Robert and Peter were killed by the accused Lord Christopher Blackwell, Rita and Dianne Jobson and Leppo respectively. Let it be therefore be understood by all that are accused here-in that Justice shall prevail.
One Love and Compliments Of All Seasons To All Rastafarians governed under the might and power of Reggae Music declaring the Justice of JAH
Rastafari Sela!
The name “Jezebel” recurs in the book of Revelation where Jesus says this to His church, “I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality [whoring] and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways (Revelation 2:20-23).”
Then again later:
Revelation 17:1-2
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
In Revelation, John writes about his vision of the last days. In his vision, he saw a great whore whose goal was to bring about the downfall of kings.
THE THREE KINGS
The Wailers consisting of Robert Nesta Marley, Winston Hubert McIntosh and I Neville Oriley Livingston entered into an agreement with Island Records Ltd. owned and administrated by Lord Christopher Blackwell. The said agreement was signed by Bob Marley, Peter McIntosh and Neville Livingston. It is therefore acknowledged that two of the three members of The Wailers did not sign their official signatures, yet the said agreement was administrated by Chris Blackwell after The Wailers had done the ‘Catch A Fire’ and ‘Burnin’ albums after receiving 4,000 Pounds Sterling from Chris Blackwell as an advance that was questionable, yet The Wailers delivered the first album ‘Catch A Fire’ and on touring and promoting the first album, The Wailers recorded the second album ‘Burnin’ respectively.
It was approximately two years later that I Bunny Wailer received only 6,000 Pounds Sterling from Chris Blackwell which related to royalties from both albums and there has never been any other royalties from both albums relating to those two Wailers albums up until presently. In 1975 Solomonic Productions entered into other agreements with Island Records Ltd. relating to the Blackheart Man, Protest and Bunny Wailer Sings The Wailers and receiving from Island advances of 45,000 Pounds Sterling for the first two albums and $100,000 USD dollars for the third album mentioned.
From that time in 1975-6 Bunny Wailer has not received any forms of royalty from Island Records then owned and administrated by Lord Christopher Blackwell prior him selling said company to UMG in 1999, that have done the same up until presently in 2013, approximately 38 years later.
From that time all three albums has sold millions of copies that have not been accounted for to Solomonic Productions by either Island Records, Lord Christopher Blackwell along with UMG respectively.
It is therefore understood by Solomonic Productions Ltd since then that the only thing to do was to sue both owners and authorities of Island Records Ltd. so as to get the justice for royalties earned from all there albums up until presently.
Solomonic Production Ltd. along with Bunny Wailer who is presently Hon. Neville Oriley Liivingston OJ CD along with receiving three keys to the cities of the US, will therefore be suing Island Records, Ltd., Lord Christopher Blackwell and UMG for hundreds of millions of dollars for the period of time they have both been distributing the related products. Let this therefore be acknowledged and understood by Blackwell, Island and UMG that seeking the Justice thereof will be the focus of Solomonic Productions Ltd. presently and futuristically.
THE WAILERS CONSPIRACY
PETER AND ROBERT SUFFERED INTENSELY
It is absolutely impossible to get anything positively done surrounding The Wailers having to do with the likes of Rita who after receiving thirty million USD ($30,000,000) from Don Taylor and after being directed by Bunny Wailer on behalf and in the best interest of Robert Nesta Marley’s children, refused to do as she was told by Bunny Wailer in that meeting, which further led to the court proceedings surrounding Robert Marley O.M. and the sums which her Rita had received from Don Taylor, leading up to her very serious court proceedings that almost sent her and her associates Zolt and Steinberg to prison.
DON TAYLOR
Though Rita and her associates were not imprisoned the sums that she had received from Don Taylor along with properties and other assets bought by Rita afterwards were judicially confiscated and up until presently, approximately thirty million USD ($30,000,000) and values have been confiscated by the USA respectively, with no clear understanding of the loss other than Robert Nesta Marley’s Estate had to be sold to Chris Blackwell for less than 1/3rd of this sum.
30 MILLION DOLLARS OF ROBERT MARLEY'S MONEY
It was after all those happenings surrounding Rita, that she again became the evidential witness for Chris Blackwell in the case against Island Records Ltd., Polygram and himself Chris Blackwell brought in Britain by Neville ORiley Livingston C.D. pka Bunny Wailer respectively seeking to defend Tuff Gong Records Ltd. and The Wailers recorded assets from being caught up in this highway robbery and collusion. This judicial encounter by one member of The Wailers on behalf of all three members of The Wailers against Blackwell and Island Records Ltd. did not in any way whatsoever involve Rita, therefore after escaping her first crime, relating to Robert Nesta Marley O.M.’s wealth, that actually belonged to Robert’s children and not Rita in any way or form, because Rita was long ago divorced by Robert Marley O.M. in 1968, she allowed herself to be used by Blackwell as a diversion in the case.
Instead of judicializing and convicting Rita, Bunny Wailer chose to cease from prolonging with the related judicial matters surrounding Chris Blackwell’s and Island Records Ltd. wrongs, that they still are therefore guilty of, based on Rita and Cedella’s disrespectful administration toward The Wailers in a Settlement Agreement which also includes Robert Nesta Marley O.M. pka Bob Marley, Winston Hubert McIntosh pka Peter Tosh respectively.
Chris & Cedella Planno'ing To Rob The Wailers
If having had a Settlement Agreement established in 1999 and signed by the affiliated parties, then why hasn’t this agreement been performed for the period of approximately thirteen (13) years after being signed by the respective parties? If that amount of time have been wasted and have passed without any performance surrounding The Wailers recordings and Intellectual Property that are affiliated in and under the settlement agreement signed by Bunny Wailer and Cedella, surrounding all related Wailers recordings mentioned and agreed to under said agreement, then what must there be done to protect The Wailers rights and interest in said agreement?
FALSE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
It must therefore be understood by Chris Blackwell, Rita Marley and Cedella that all business transactions surrounding Tuff Gong Records Ltd. administrated by them will therefore be taken over and administrated by the surviving shareholder of the related company, Neville ORiley Livingston C.D. pka Bunny Wailer on behalf of and in the best interest of Robert Nesta 'Bob' Marley O.M. and Winston Hubert McIntosh O.M. pka Peter Tosh respectively.
Based on these non performances, all-previous administrations done by Bunny Wailer, on behalf of The Wailers respectively, will be in no other form of Settlement other than Tuff Gong Records Ltd. becoming the sole and exclusively owned company of The Wailers respectively.
TUFF GONG RECORDS LTD. REINSTATED IN 2012
This must therefore be acknowledged and understood by Island Records Ltd. and U.M.G. respectively, that both The Wailers and their company Tuff Gong Records Ltd. will be the defensive method and measure for restoring all related rights to whom and where they belong respectively. It must also therefore be acknowledged and understood that all Wailers recordings and related compositions and rights will all be restored and returned to the musical legacy of The Wailers respectively and there will and must be no other situations surrounding the legal and legitimate rights to all related Wailers recordings respectively.
84 MILLION US DOLLARS + CURRENTLY OWED TO THE WAILERS UNDER SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
Bunny Wailer is the only survivor of The Wailers along with Beverly Kelso and will therefore, on behalf of Robert Nesta Marley O.M., Winston Hubert McIntosh, Junior Braithwaite and adopted members Cherry Smith and Constantine Dream Walker, respectively be defending the rights and privileges of The Wailers in every way that is necessary to accomplish the benefit thereof. Bunny Wailer will therefore make quite sure and certain that every and all violators, which includes, Chris Blackwell, Rita, Cedella and Dianne Jobson, be quite aware that Bunny Wailer is quite sure that The Wailers rights and justice will and shall be realized now and futuristically.
BACKGROUND & MOTIVE
In The Wailers first encounter with Rita in and around 1965 after The Wailers had been established with hits like Simmer Down & Hurts To Be Alone, she was a woman that just had a girl child still on her breast, yet on the first time of her knowing The Wailers by them going to Coxone’s Studio where they had to pass her home, where she seemingly prostituted herself already with her having a baby, Sharon on her breast, which is later learned was one of Bunny Wailer’s childhood friend’s Brucie’s child instead of a member of twins whom she claimed she was pregnant for. She indulged Peter of The Wailers into her unholiness of actually having a sexual affair with him while she had Sharon as a suckling on her breast.
BABY ON BREAST
Peter at that time had just come to the city from where he was born in SavanaLaMar, a parish in Jamaica, where he was trained to be an electrical welder, the same as Robert was doing at South Camp Road along with Desmond Dekker respectively, prior along with Bunny Wailer, becoming members of The Wailers.
After Peter’s mistake of starting and ending a relationship with Rita, being a youth born in the country as also was Robert, who was then a ‘Nine Miles, St. Ann born youth as well, Rita after already having an unholy encounter with one member of The Wailers went ahead in having another relationship with Robert, still giving a mother’s treatment to Sharon her baby as well.
Sharon Daughter of Brucie And Rita
Robert on the other hand had during this time a relationship with Winnie who he knew before Rita, and continued that relationship. During a period with Rita trying to win Robert’s favor, she rode to Trench Town on two brand new bicycles with her cousin Vision, saying to Robert that the bicycles were sent by her dad along with new brand electric guitar which Aunty had put away, that had him going to her home to see it while claiming that it was hidden in her Aunt’s closet. After a period of time of Robert going to Rita to see the guitar, he was told by Rita’s cousin ‘Vision’ that no such guitar was there and that the bicycles weren’t theirs , Robert retreated from Rita.
ShotGun Wedding
With Coxone robbing The Wailers and Rita playing her filthy sexual game on both Peter and Robert, the members of The Wailers were surprised to learn from Robert that he had gotten married to Rita and without any other member of The Wailers present at the wedding, it was an unknown measure for The Wailers, as youths to have been experiencing.
SPOUSAL ABUSER
They somehow had lived along with Rita’s delusions that she was creating, using Robert as a means of practice by marrying him while he was then filed for by his mother Mrs. Booker for him to go to the USA, wherein Mrs. Malcom Booker didn’t know of the wickedness that her son Robert was experiencing from Clement Coxone Dodd nor the sudden marriage to Rita.
After going to the USA in February 1966, Robert later returned to Jamaica in and around November 1966, where he continued his career as a member of The Wailers, who were then Bunny, Peter and Vision/Dream from the Soulettes, an unsuccessful singing group along with Rita and Precious.
Soulettes
With Robert returning to Jamaica from the USA, The Wailers prolonged their already established singing career with ‘Bend Down Low’ and ‘Freedom Time’, beginning their own label Wail N Soul M that in later years became Tuff Gong Records Ltd. respectively.
On returning from the Richmond Farm Prison where Bunny Wailer did time for possession of Ganja starting in July 1967, after recording other hits such as ‘Nice Time’ ‘Hypocrites’, ‘Thank You Lord’ etc., he came back to civilization to see not only Sharon but also a very young baby, Cedella, born two months after Bunny Wailer was imprisoned in August 1967, bearing the name of Robert’s mother, which was being spoken of as being Bunny Wailer’s child, but wouldn’t the baby Cedella also have been Mortimo Planno’s child if she was neither Bunny’s nor Robert’s respectively? Or it could even be Daggu?
The point is that Cedella was not accepted as Robert's child, but was imposed under Jezebelic emotional confusion, which can be seen in Cedella's non-Marley behavior. At the same time Bunny Wailer came home to see the Wail N Soul M label in disrepair and its recorded assets holed up in Rita's Aunty's outside toilet. He restored the business, while babysitting Cedella with, Robert, Peter and Rita caught up in the cobweb of Mortimo Planno's introducing and incorporating them individually to the deadly scorpion pirate Danny Simms.
MARLEY BRUCIE PLANNO DUGGU FAMILY
Robert was very upset about Rita having this pregnancy that he rejected the birth of that child Cedella but somehow lived with Cedella becoming named Marley respectively. Therefore Rita now had two outside girl children, Sharon for Brucie and Cedella for Mortimo, Daggu etc., while she was then married to Robert, prior Ziggy and Steve Marley. Rita prolonged her evil and wickedness upon Robert by again becoming pregnant for another man named Ital Stewart within the marriage, with her Rita having a twelve fingers child for Ital Stewart, like Cedella Robert continued to live with Rita having this twelve fingers baby.
Ital Stewart Twelve Finger Mark
When Bunny Wailer learnt of Rita’s intention while living in Bull Bay, St. Thomas, of having an affair with Ital Stewart, he tried to encourage in him the reason and will for him Ital not to get sexually involved with Rita, but Rita proclaimed her destined plan, to involve Ital, because of her filthy reasons of wanting Ital based -on somehow him resembling Robert. Rita went further immediately after Robert’s passing to have another child, Syreeta, claiming it to be Ital Stewart’s child which is a lie, only Mackanuff (Bongo Mackie) from Bull Bay and Rita is quite conscious and aware of who the father is. His picture is now illegally featured on a new edition of the 'Burnin Album'.
ITAL STEWART'S TWELVE FINGER CHILD AND RITA
If Rita, after having a series of daughters that are not the children of Robert Nesta Marley O.M. namely, Sharon, Cedella and the two last girls which she claims that are belonging to Ital Stewart, then what must Ziggy and Steve do, so as to be quite certain and sure that they are sisters and brothers on the part of their mother, Rita, but not their father Robert respectively.
MOTHER, QUESTIONABLE FATHER AND DAUGHTER RITA, MORTIMO PLANNO, CEDELLA
Domestic abuse—defined as chronic mistreatment in marriage, families, dating and other intimate relationships —- can include emotionally abusive behavior. Psychological abuse does not always lead to physical abuse, but physical abuse in domestic relationships is nearly always preceded and accompanied by psychological abuse.[2][8] report that psychological aggression by one partner is the most reliable predictor of the other partner's likelihood of first exhibiting physical aggression.
With these kinds of unholy ‘Jezebelic’ performances by Rita in our The Wailers lives especially Robert’s, what could then be the outcome of these wicked performances and administrations of Rita, and also that of so called Planno’s daughter Cedella? These are the things that Bunny Wailer of The Wailers is addressing in the judicial court proceedings that will be entered into and defended futuristically. Therefore all administrations surrounding and relating to Robert Nesta Marley O.M. and Winston Hubert McIntosh’s O.M. rights under The Wailers will be defended by I, Bunny Wailer futuristically, so let it be therefore understood by all family members of The Wailers respectively, that this will, shall and must be accomplished accordingly.
RITA MARLEY MUSIC
PETER TOSH MURDERED 9-11-1987
Rita in later years killed Robert Nesta Marley O.M. pka celebrating Bob Marley with radioactive ash then organized and killed Winston Hubert McIntosh pka Peter Tosh using Leppo and making him also a victim of her, Rita’s circumstances.
FREE I DIXON MURDERED ALONGSIDE PETER TOSH
Leroy Gaston ‘Papa Roy’ Anderson, Rita’s dad, a very talented and popular Jamaican tenor saxophone player, went to cuba to play music and met up with a Cynthia 'Beda' Jarrett who turned out to be Rita’s mother, and getting her pregnant he left to the United States from Cuba, to prolong his musical career. After having the child Rita the mother brought her to Jamaica, to Aunty Viola Anderson Britton, Papa Roy’s sister’s house which is how Rita arrived in Jamaica. Papa Roy who hasn’t been even mentioned of in her writings, was also killed by his own daughter, Rita, in her vicious attitude of total disrespect also proved her hatred that she exhibited on her own seeming to be father whom she had put to work at Rita Marley Music after robbing the Robert Marley Estate of 30 Million dollars, moving everything from Tuff Gong at 56 Hope Road to Bell Road and renaming it Rita Marley Music, gave him, who was a musician all his years, some old sewing machines and put him in a corner to wither and die from disappointment.
FALSE PROPOGANDA ABOUT RITA'S DAD WHO PLAYS SAXAPHONE, MUST BE THE SAME IMAGINARY GUITAR THAT TRICKED ROBERT INTO THE MARRIAGE!
Then afterwards it was Aunty Vie's turn to die,
COULD THIS BE AUNTY VIE? when Aunty made an open statement to Rita of her giving her home to ‘Vision’, Rita’s male cousin, that also sang with ‘The Soulettes’
VISION IN THE SOULETTES and ‘The Wailers’ on ‘Let Him Go’ , ‘What Am I To Do’, ‘Dancing Shoes’ etc. as also the famous single “I’ve Got To Go Back Home’ led by Bob Andy respectively on the Studio One record label respectively.
Rita, in the very moment of Robert Marley dying, killed her own Aunt so as not to be present at her supposedly husband’s side, when he died from her Rita’s wickedness of using radioactive ash, given to her by Christopher Blackwell that killed my brother Robert Nesta Marley O.M.
RADIOACTIVE ASH
This as Rita always carrying out dirty deeds for Chris Blackwell was recently caught smuggling a Blue Diamond in her vagina and picked up by Customs Xray camera and which he paid millions of dollars to buy out the charge and where they both cannot return to South Africa.
HON. NEVILLE ORILEY LIVINGSTON OJ, CD pka BUNNY WAILERS TESTIMONY
Shouldn’t it be revealed that I Bunny Wailer after knowing so much would not make it known to the world, of these very important facts, surrounding the things and people mentioned herein.
What then should be the righteous judgment surrounding the vicious and fatal performances on Robert and Peter respectively, two brothers with whom she Rita, had had sexual and other relationships and children along with? And Robert's mother Mrs. Malcolm Booker who was also killed by Chris Blackwell and Dianne Jobson respectively!
Based on these circumstances surrounding The Wailers respectively, including Robert and Peter, I Bunny Wailer will and shall be responsible for implementing the necessary corrections surrounding and putting the recorded works of The Wailers in the appropriate and righteous manner that should, will and must be beneficial to its official family members of Hon. Robert Nesta Marley O.M. pka celebrating Bob Marley, Hon. Winston Hubert McIntosh pka Peter Tosh and Hon. Neville ORiley Livingston O.J., C.D. pka Bunny Wailer respectively.
MURDER CO-CONSPIRATORS
Rita, Chris Blackwell and Dianne Jobson on the other hand will be justifiably paying for their evil and vicious crimes that they all have committed to and on The Wailers respectively.

hi!! I saw a rec list of yours where you were like, "i actually have more but some of them are just the real popular ones so im like. Yeah youve read it." -- but I HAVENT!! I'm brand new to cherik and looking for those ultimate recs, those smash hits. could you rec some ultimate cherik fic, if you have the time? i'm not big on fluff but anything too cutesy but otherwise I'm totally open!!! thank you in advance!
hiii :D i would absolutely recommend you to also browse the tag filtering it by kudos because i tend to filter out some things and i also tend to be picky with stuff so there's probably Smashing Hits(tm) i overlooked bc i was like 'nahh im not in the mood today' and my god there are so many good authors and fics that probs go undiscovered by ME. so do make sure you don't miss out on Those Hits
that being said i went through my bookmarks and i'm grabbing those ones with thousands of kudos (bc to me A Lot of Kudos are anything over 100 but i know some cherik fics have liek 5k or more so. i rec going thru the tag fr) so if i repeat myself from the other recs im very sorry but teehee here you go!!!!
these are all like. well. they don't have major trigger warnings or bad endings so enjoy
two lonely souls in a fish bowl by blarfkey: this is really more centered around pietro and erik but the cherik in it is mmmmmwah and also it's jsut so fucking good if you need to scratch that itch of 'damn i wish pietro had told erik he was his dad' like the rest of us. it's so so so good and IT'S A WHOLE SERIES SO CHECK THAT OUT THEY'RE ALL SO GOOOOD.
been there, done that by asyouwish: time loop fic! fucking love that. erik gets stuck in a timeloop before the cuba thing happens. i love seeing littl emen suffer trapped in time
i don't want to wake up on my own anymore by pocky_slash: my bookmark tag here says 'something about erik sleeping' so i reread it and i was like oghggoghg erik sleeping....so YEAH.
orphans of forgetting by pocky_slash: AHGP okay this one's fucking good listen to me. i like men going through emotional trials that fucks them up but gives them an emotionally fulfilling result. this fics good
the pretender by clocks: au where erik fake proposes to charles to get free food. they're still mutants. apparently i bookmarked this one saying 'im going to cry' and now i remember i was jsut really emotional that day and there was no reason to cry as it is a very good and funny fic. help
the whole world wants what we're on by waketosleep: and there was only one bed!
mi casa, su casa by zairaA: i love this one. it's so fun to read. charles moves into his new apartment only to find out erik already lived there. i love this fic.
shalom malakh by zairaa: ive read this oen so many times and only now ive connected the dots that it's the same author. david haller is in this fic. 10/10 showstoppin gi love MY BOYYYYYY !!!!!! but other than that it's so fucking good. what's better than coming back from the dead to haunt ur loved ones AM I RIGHT..
still life with cookies by ren: this one's cute. like a romcom. the pining on this one is so good and enjoyable i liked it so much
a nice boy (the family matters edition) by pocky_slash: IVE RECCED THIS BEFORE. BUT LIKE 2 WEEKS AGO I REREAD IT AND I CRIED SO LIKE HERE IT GOES AGAIN
x marks the spot by the hoyden: i fuckign lvoe this fic. every time i reread it i blink and it's over even though its like 20k words but it's jsut THAT good!!!!
the courtship by danveresque: what's better than canon characters cherik. REINCARNATIPON FICS . fuck my life thsi fic stresse dme out so bad but it was so good. i love it.
never too late to be who you might have been by acetamide: charles and erik wake up in the future (the 2000s timeline movies) and only remember up until what they know before the cuban missile crisis. chaos but also sweet shit :)
tessellation by nekosmuse: i feel like ive mentioned this one before. no MATTER. it's GOOD. IT FUCKS ME UP SO BAD. it does messes with comic canon and also the xmen animated series so it's PERFECT FOR ME and i really do feel it's a classic. liek. 3k kudos should attest for a classic yeah. magneto is a charles xavier enjoyer. they meet. fall in love. Shit Happens. but like it's my favorite.
i think those are all the fics i have that are over 1k kudos long weeps.. again i SUPER encourage you to filter it by kudos when you go the charles/erik tag bc there are SO many fics with SO much content so please enjoy! i accidentally opened the tag and filtered it on august 2021 and i keep going through it. 2 years later yeah. i'm in like page 157 of it. we all make mistakes. but thank you for the ask and i hope you enjoy! :)

Reading Around the World Challenge
Read one book set in every country around the world
Ongoing Total: 49/195 Setting and Author: 34/195 Setting Only: 15/195
The StoryGraph Challenge Link
My guidelines for this challenge:
Books should be set primarily or entirely in that country. (No travelogues counting for multiple countries.)
Fiction is preferred, but memoirs are acceptable. No history books.
Magical Realism and Fantasy are acceptable, so long as the country is named and recognizable. (No high fantasy inspired by the country.)
Authors should be from that country, living there for a majority or large portion of their lives and closely identifying with the country.
Diaspora and descendant authors are on a case-by-case, with the above criteria in mind.
Please feel free to send me suggestions! I read primarily in English, but can also do intermediate Spanish, so I'm interested in adding some Spanish language books to the list. Let me know if you disagree with my characterization of any authors or have suggestions for an author from a particular country.
Full list under the cut.
Setting and Author
Afghanistan - The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini Not generally a fan of literary fiction, but I actually didn't hate this! A more hopeful ending than I expected.
Albania - The Ghost Rider by Ismail Kadare This did not end at all how I expected. A quick and fascinating read.
Algeria - The Stranger by Albert Camus & The Meursault Investigation by Kamel Daoud Interesting to read these two together, and glad to have the literary background, but not really my thing.
Angola - A General Theory of Oblivion by Jose Eduardo Agualusa, Trans. Daniel Hahn A bunch of intertwined stories centered around Angola's independence and the following decades. I'm not sure I would call this magical realism, but it kinda has that feel to it.
Antigua and Barbuda - A Small Place by Jamaica Kincaid Fascinating long essay that is a must read for tourists, particularly those traveling in the Caribbean.
Argentina - Mouthful of Birds by Samanta Schweblin Collection of horror and adjacent short stories.
Armenia - Three Apples Fell from the Sky by Narine Abgaryan, translated by Lisa C. Hayden A dying village on a mountain finds a reason to keep going. It's got that slight fairy/folktale feel to it that commonly gets called "magical realism."
Australia - The Things She's Seen by Ambelin and Ezekiel Kwaymullina Surprisingly sweet and wonderfully clever. Really enjoyed this one!
Cambodia - Music of the Ghosts by Vaddey Ratner This is a really lovely novel about healing after tragedy and finding your home again after it's been destroyed.
Colombia - Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez I preferred 100 Years of Solitude, but this is the novel more firmly set in Colombia.
Cuba - The Tower of the Antilles by Achy Obejas A volume of short stories exploring life in Cuba and in the US as an immigrant from Cuba. Not my favorite short story collection, but there were a couple that were really evocative.
France - The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas Read an abridgement that made me want to go back and read the unabridged version. Liked this better than The Three Musketeers.
Ghana - Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi Literary, but enjoyable! The back and forth twining of the storylines was used to really good effect.
India - A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth This is billed as a romance, but don't believe it. It's long, the links between the storylines aren't always clear, and it's a "realistic" ending.
Ireland - Dubliners by James Joyce These are... meh? More like vignettes than short stories. And very "everyone is unhappy."
Italy - The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco This was really interesting! I feel like I need to read it again to really get all the twists and turns.
Japan - The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa This was so sweet! And bittersweet. Just generally lovely.
Kenya - Unbowed by Wangari Maathai An interesting memoir by a remarkable woman.
Malawi - The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba and Bryan Meler A fascinating story of how ingenuity, persistence, and small changes can profoundly change a community.
Malaysia - The Ghost Bride by Yangsze Choo I really liked this one! A good spooky mystery with great fantasy/folklore elements.
Mexico - Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia Loved this book! Great horror story.
Netherlands - The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank Important, but sad work.
New Zealand - Quiet in Her Bones by Nalini Singh Thriller filled with interesting if not always likeable characters and a somewhat unreliable narrator.
Nigeria - Noor by Nnedi Okorafor Not my favorite of Okorafor's works, but a fascinating near-future sci-fi.
Norway - Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset Not a happy story, but well written and engrossing, even at over a thousand pages.
Pakistan - Unmarriageable by Soniah Kamal A retelling of Pride and Prejudice set in Pakistan. I loved the way that Pakistani culture was woven through and enhanced the original plot and themes. A really good read!
Poland - Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk Interesting mystery if not ultimately quite my thing.
Russia - War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy Yes, I did read the unabridged version. Yes, you should definitely find the abridged version.
Rwanda - Our Lady of Kibeho by Immaculée Ilibagiza First hand accounts of a little known Marian apparition in Rwanda.
Singapore - Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan Enjoyed this and its sequels. Less a romance and more intertwined stories of a family dynasty.
Switzerland - Heidi by Johanna Spyri Classic children's novel.
Syria - The Map of Salt and Stars by Zeyn Joukhadar Sad and lyrical. A great exploration of the legends and towns of North Africa. (This one barely counts as mostly set in Syria.)
United Kingdom - Persuasion by Jane Austen Lots to choose from, but officially using my favorite Jane Austen.
United States of America - The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne Weird story, beautiful prose.
Setting Only
Austria - The Star of Kazan by Eva Ibbotson Read this as a kid and remember really liking it. Should probably find one that I actually remember....
Canada - Hatchet by Gary Paulsen Very formative of my childhood, so I had to include it.
China - The Bonesetter's Daughter by Amy Tan I remember this being one of my favorite's of Amy Tan but not much more.
Cyprus - Othello by William Shakespeare Apparently this one counts? This play has good speeches but is not great for a modern audience.
Democratic Republic of the Congo - The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver Had to read this for class in high school and can't say I enjoyed it.
Egypt - River God by Wilbur Smith Definitely one of my favorites out of my Wilbur Smith phase.
Greece - The Magus by John Fowles Really weird book that's on the BBC Top 100 books for some reason?
Romania - Hunting Prince Dracula by Kerri Maiscalco Book 2 in this YA series with main characters and a romance I love.
Solomon Islands - Devil-Devil by Graeme Kent This was a really fun mystery that centers the clash of traditional, modern, and colonial societies.
South Africa - The Woman Next Door by Yewande Omotoso Fun little neighborhood drama.
South Korea - Wicked Fox by Kat Cho Really enjoyed this YA novel set in Seoul. Good fantasy and interesting moral dilemmas.
Vatican City - Angels and Demons by Dan Brown Easily my favorite Dan Brown. Though the sequels get a little off the rails. (Not sure anyone counts as a native of Vatican City?)
Vietnam - The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien Short stories inspired by the author's time in the Vietnam War.
Yemen - Don't Be Afraid of the Bullets by Laura Kasinof A budding journalist describes her experience in Yemen during the Arab Spring.
