MI NUH KNOW WHEY DI MIGGLE FINGA FAH….BUT ANYTING IT FAH IT SHUD HAVE NEVA BEEN DONE RIGHT HERE… ALONG WID DAT LONG SPLIFF

The illmuminati part one

The illmuminati   part one

The term illuminati is latin for enlightened ones. They can be traced back as far as the 15thcentury, depending on which source you use. The society started out as the Roshaniya or the illuminated ones, it was founded by a man called Bayezid Ansari. He opened a school, that taught people how to become perfect men and women and told his followers that he Ishmaelite religion had supernatural powers and he knew the secrets to it.  He taught them that they didn’t have to follow any rules except for that of the roshiniya.

This group then slowly died out until a man name Adam Weishaupt formed a similar group. Adam was pissed off with the church and the system at the time. He wanted to break the catholic churches hold on people. He sought the help of the freemasons, but they didn’t agree with him fully on the tactics he wanted to use, so he never got their full support.  There are three levels in the illuminati; illuminatus minor(nursery), illuminatus major and the final level is generally called mysteries.

The illuminati grew quickly and very soon, they were all over Europe and the world. They have been linked with starting several wars for their own gain and to this day people still accuse them of doing the same. They did have enemies who would fight them and every now and then, the group would lay low, and this would be when they plan wars to destroy their enemies. They wouldn’t fight it themselves though, its like this the great French leader Napoleon didn’t like them, and tried to kill them. Shortly after he chased them away the French revolution started, many people believe, the illuminate triggered it off to get rid of napoleon.

In our current lifetime, we see wars like Iraq, bosnia, faklands, Afghanistan(know about this one first hand) and its all been blamed on the illuminati and other secret groups. Their objective is to eliminate all world governments and establish one government, with one army. This way they can fully control the masses. They have been known to spread diseases to lessen populations(aids etc),and their opposers usually get trampled. For instance that man from wikileaks, once you oppose them they either kill you, lock you up or destroy your reputation. Of all the groups I have looked at the illuminati is the deadliest and the one with the most ruthless goals. They are everywhere, for the americans, just look at one of your currency notes and you will see them all over it. A lot of celebrities that are accused of being illuminati or most likely not in it for real. They have kept their secrecy for centuries and I don’t think they would trust somebody from the outside, in on their society, and even if they do they would be at the bottom of the food chain(puppets).

There is a family called the Rothschilds, I don’t know if you have ever heard of them, google the word!!! They are the richest and most powerful people on earth, forget what you hear about bill gates.  They have their hands in almost every single thing in the world, from banking to oil, this has been like this for centuries, notice you never hear their names on t.v?? whenever they come on tv its always to let them look like good people. They came up with most of the tactics used in banking to this day, and were so rich they use to lend money to kings and queens to fight wars. Wanna hear something that’s gonna make you laugh??? Ok during world was 2 when hitler had the upper hand and was beating Britain in the war, they realised that if hitler won the war, they wont collect their money  so they allowed pearl harbour to happen so America would get involved in the war and then Germany was defeated because it had 3 major enemies now, Britain, Russia, and the u.s.a.    i leave you from a quote made by mayer rothschilds…” i care not which puppet is placed on the throne of England to rule the empire, the man that controls britains money supply controls the British empire and i control the money supply”  dont beleive me, google it.    p.s as usual i have to remind that one illiterate person that keeps saying im promoting devil worshipping to refrain from jumping on my back, knowledge is power. look out for part 2, coming to a jmg near you :)

121Jamaica Labour Party Attorney General of Jamaica. I2was part of her executive team, and she was the3candidate that represented Saint Thomas before James4Robertson arrived here in Saint Thomas. So I was a5part of her team, which was a very quiet election,6literally no violence, because the candidate, herself,7was a totally different person from the person that8came up this year, which is James Robertson.9QHow are they different?10AWell, during her campaign, there was11literally no violence, there was no – there was no act12on her behalf in terms of violence against the13opponent, which is the People’s National Party. It14was a very quiet — She was a very quiet person, not15involved in violence, which was a totally different16thing when James Robertson came, as he was directly,17against PNP supporters, committing violence and18different crimes and intimidation against these19people.20QCould you just repeat the answer that21you just gave?22APardon me?23QI’m sorry, could you repeat the answer24that you just gave?25AI was a part of Dorothy Lightbourne’sSOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT REPORTING, INC.954-767-0550

She’s the present Attorney General of2Jamaica and a member of the Jamaica Labour Party, the3executive campaign where she had run in this4constituency, and there was literally no violence; she5didn’t advocate that kind of thing, at all.6It wasn’t until James Robertson came7here years after she left to represent the same8constituency that she represented years ago and it was9a totally different situation when he came, because he10advocated violence on the opponent, on his own people,11death, murders were committed, guns were secured,12things were happening that were not happening before.13QNow, how do you know that James14Robertson was responsible for the guns that were15distributed and the murder that was committed?16AI have been told by the same very people17who have committed these specific crimes.18QYou were personally told –19AInformed directly of how they20transported it, things that were ordered, that kind of21thing, by the people that did the crimes.22QWhat did those people have to do with23James Robertson?24AThey were in what I would call in25Jamaican terms, his “henchmen” or “shooters”.

141were his people, the “henchmen” or “shooters”, as2they’re called, here in Jamaica.3QSo you’re alleging that James Robertson4has henchmen and/or shooters who commit murders for5him?6ADefinitely.7QHow can you be sure of that?8AI am 100 percent sure because it’s the9same people who run these things of who I have10mentioned in the statement that I gave to you that are11the same people that did these crimes and then related12these crimes to me.13All of these crimes I have, myself,14passed over to the police, some of these same people -15because it’s the same people who have committed these16crimes and told it to me, and I have been working with17the police for a number years and I have given a lot18of this information directly to them, themselves.19QCan you give me the names of any of the20individuals or the nicknames of any of the individuals21who told you about murders and other crimes authorized22or sanctioned by James Robertson?23AI have two people; one goes by the name24of Germane Jones.25The other is a man, I don’t have hisSOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT REPORTING, INC.954-767-0550

I want to get the question right.10QThere were two people that you named who11were involved in killing; one was called “John Gotti”12and one was called “Germane Jones”?13AGermane Jones. Yes, he is alive.14QOkay.15APardon me?16QYou have given both of these names,17Germane Jones and John Gotti, to the police?18AYes, yes. Well, years ago, John Gotti19because he – Jones was one of the persons that20received, during the last general election, two21firearms and I can say for sure that John Gotti has22committed at least two murders and went – and one –23QThe individual known as “John Gotti”, I24assume that’s a nickname; is that correct?25APardon me?SOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT REPORTING, INC.954-767-0550

161QI assume “John Gotti” is a nickname?2AYes, it is. Yes, it is a nickname.3Yes.4QYou say he received two guns, is that5what you said?6ATwo guns were issued.7QWho issued the guns to him?8AOkay. I can say for certain, 1009percent sure, that James Robertson had given the10members of the Jamaica Labour Party, in the Grantspen11area of Saint Thomas, two guns during the last general12election.13QWhat type of guns were they?14AOne was an SK assault rifle and one was15a Glock .40 semi automatic pistol.16QHave you ever seen these guns?17AI have never seen them, but they were18relayed to me by the person who received them, and19they did relate to me how and by what means they had20gotten these two firearms.21QWere you ever asked to kill anybody by22James Robertson?23APardon me?24QWere you ever asked to kill anybody by25James Robertson?SOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT REPORTING, INC.954-767-0550

Page 17
171AOn two occasions, yes. On two2occasions.3QSo James Robertson asked you,4personally, to kill individuals?5AHe asked me to kill on two occasions.6QDid he give you a gun to kill the7individuals with?8ANo, he did not. No, he did not.9QWhy did he think that you would kill10anybody? Have you ever killed anybody before?11ANo. I think it was mainly because of12desperation, because he had actually asked the guys13that he actually provided these guns to to commit14these crimes, and they had refused – for some reason,15they had refused. I think mainly because the person16that he wanted to be killed more than anyone else was17a guy by the name of Petrol Cecil Riley who was, in18fact, the cousin of at least two of the guys he had19actually asked to commit the crimes.20QSo James Robertson asked you to kill21Petrol Cecil Riley; is that correct?22ADefinitely, yes, sir.23QWhat did you tell him?24APardon me?25QWhat did you tell us him when he askedSOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT REPORTING, INC.954-767-0550
——————————————————————————–
Page 18
181you to kill Petrol Cecil Riley?2AI did not answer at the time when he had3asked me, because I was more astonished.4What he had actually said to me is can I5arrange for it to be done, because he is frustrated6with the situation he is in because the very same men7that he had provided the guns with and money, too, and8asked to do so and he was very anxious to have this9done. He could not figure out why in the world they10wouldn’t have it done.11He had failed to recognize the fact that12the these men were actually related to the man he13wanted to kill, which was Petrol Cecil Riley.14QNow, do you remember approximately what15date Mr. Robertson asked you to kill Cecil Riley,16otherwise known as “Petrol”, approximately what date?17AIt was sometime in 2008, early 2008. I18don’t have quite the date, but it’s something I can19get for you, because I had actually went to a very20crowded motor vehicle dealer here in Jamaica that21specific day and I met James Robertson there; he was22on official government business, at the same location.23QWhat location did you meet him at?24AMotorsales of Jamaica Limited.25QWhere did you meet him?SOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT REPORTING, INC.954-767-0550

He had given them19the green light for it to go ahead, all because of the20fact that he was trying to cover the fact that he was21involved, and these same men had relayed to him the22plans before they did it. They told him what was23going to be done and he knew very well, before she24died, that it was going to take place.25QNow, when you say that he gave the greenSOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT REPORTING, INC.954-767-0550

311light, what do you mean by that?2ASpecifically, he knew, they told him,3and in an effort to cover his deeds and in the4process, he directly ordered the death of Petrol Cecil5Riley, he had given them the green light to go ahead.6So, in fact, my mother had died because7of a reprisal.8What actually happened was James9Robertson had tried to point the whole thing in my10direction, and in doing so, had no choice but to go11along with these men and gave them the green light to12commit this murder.13QYour statement refers to Inspector14Carlos Bell; is that correct?15AYes, yes.16QWhat does he have to do with James17Robertson?18AInspector Carlos Bell was the person in19charge of crimes in the Parish of Saint Thomas. He20was alleged by James Robertson to be an opponent,21which is a member of the People’s National Party. He22was a cop that dedicated himself to root out these23criminals that were aligned to James Robertson.24James Robertson thought he could say it25was more of a political thing, more than a cop tryingSOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT REPORTING, INC.954-767-0550

James Robertson had tried on several2occasions to have this man transferred or fired from3the Jamaica police force.4Mr. Bell, at one point, came to me and5told me that the Commissioner of Police in Jamaica6called him to inform him that there were allegations7about him involved in criminal activities. It was8specifically pointed out to Mr. Bell that James9Robertson was his accuser.10I met with James Robertson two days11after Mr. Bell came to me with the statement and I12specifically asked James Robertson what was happening.13He told me that Mr. Bell did not have14even half a clue as to what was really happening or15what he had said about him, because not only did he16say Mr. Bell was a criminal, he also told the17Commissioner of Police that Mr. Bell was the biggest18drug dealer this side of the country.19All along, when he was making the20statement, he was smiling and specifically told me21that he told the Commissioner of Police that James22Robertson was also a drug dealer; something that23Mr. Bell did not relay to me, only that he was24involved in criminal activity.

He was an inspector and someone I knew very6well from when I was a younger man.7I went to him on several occasions to8report all I knew about James Robertson, including the9passing of guns, murder, and everything else that I10knew of him. I relayed this message to him and told11him everything at great length, what had been taking12place over the last year and-a-half or two.13He had relayed to me, on more than one14occasion, that the Jamaica police have a file and they15knew of a lot of things about James Robertson in terms16of crimes he had committed, but no one is ever willing17to come forward to either testify against him, so that18is the sole reason why he was never, ever prosecuted.19But he did admit to me, when I relayed20all my problems and everything that I knew of him,21that the Jamaica police had information on him but22there was never anyone willing enough to testify23against him.24QDo you know why that is?25AWell, he is basically saying to me thatSOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT REPORTING, INC.954-767-0550

I was18actually in Miami. I made this call to Mr. Shields –19QAt that time, were you residing in the20United States?21AWell, I was actually fleeing for my22life, at the time.

He did not specifically say what,17but I took it as he knew that he could get18Mr. Danville Walker to stop my shipments from coming19into Jamaica, that’s basically what he was trying to20say, because Mr. Danville Walker’s name had nothing to21do with what I was called to that meeting for.22QWho else was present at that meeting?23APardon me?24QWho else was present at that meeting?25AMr. Seawright, which is now the ChairmanSOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT REPORTING, INC.954-767-0550

As a matter of fact, he was7working directly for Mr. Robertson at that specific8time. He was never — He was not the Chairman, he was9not the Chairman, but a member of the Jamaica Labour10Party at that specific time. He was present in James11Robertson’s office, and that’s how I met him. He was12working directly for his office, because I had asked13him to make several phone calls. He was sitting there14briefly in the meeting, at one point.15QSo what was Mr. Seawright’s role at the16meeting?17APardon me?18QWhat was Mr. Seawright’s role at the19meeting?20AWell, he was there briefly.

He wasn’t directly8sitting in on the meeting, but he was back and forth9during the conversations with Robertson and myself.10He had not sat directly and was never a part of the11meeting, but was in occasionally during the one hour12or so I was sitting there talking to him.13QNow, you indicated to a Homeland14Security agent –15AYes.16Q– from what I understand, that you were17present at that meeting with Mr. Robertson where there18was a discussion between Mr. Robertson and yourself19about Olint; is that correct?20AYes, sir.

We talked about basically10contracts and the following activities, these were the11basis of the conversations we had that day.12QHow did Olint come up?13AOkay. He had specifically asked me if I14had invested in Olint.15I said to him that every single time I16taken out money to invest in Olint, I never had any17money with in them, at all.18He specifically told me that Olint is19something I should trust, something I can have20confidence in, because he, himself, is someone very21close to the man on top of Olint, Mr. David Smith, and22also relayed to me that he had millions in Olint.23QWhere did he say he got the millions24from?25AWell, did he not say.

Now, in terms of your personal17requests, what is it that you want to have happen?18AWell, I am indeed seeking political19asylum –20QHold on, stop.21A– basically because I don’t feel safe22here anymore.

They had8intelligence that it was going to take place, and it9was only after I was ambushed two times during a1012-mile drive from my supermarket to my home in11Yallahs, I was ambushed by several gunmen, several12shots were fired.13I escaped and I left 200 meters down the14road; there was a second group of men waiting. I did15escape again, called the police shortly after to16notify them and was told then, by the police, that17there was supposed to be a police patrol along the18route, the 12-mile drive to myself, but at the last19minute, they had received an emergency call which they20had to respond to, so that is why the security detail21that was there to protect me had disappeared at the22last moment.23I was informed directly by the police,24themselves –25QWhen did that occur?SOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT REPORTING, INC.954-767-0550

I don’t have the9specific date, but I was attacked while driving home10from my supermarket, after closing my supermarket. As11a matter of fact, the Superintendent of Police at the12time had sent three police officers to my supermarket.13They came, they were acting very14suspicious, taking security measures, but did not15inform me that there would be an attempt on my life.16I was told by them after the incident17took place that it was protocol and they could not18have relayed that information to me.19QSo there have been two attempts on your20life in the last two years; is that correct?21AThree.

I don’t8quite remember his name, but he’s a customer, one of9my customers. He received four shots. He did10survive, though.11All of these are documented cases.12QYou can provide that individual’s name13on a later date?14AYes, I sure can. I sure can. I can15provide all the dates and everything that took place,16because they’re all recorded by the Saint Thomas17police.18The last incident took place last year19in June.20QIs that 2009?21AYes, sir.22At about 9:00 p.m., I was home with all23my workers. I had stopped attending my businesses24because of fear, especially after the second time,25when one of my customers was shot.SOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT REPORTING, INC.954-767-0550

521So for safety reasons, my customers and2my employees advised me not to go to any of my3business, so my life has been restricted. I was, at4one point, hiding on the north coast from hotel to5hotel.6As a matter of fact, I had went to Miami7to purchase a home and to acquire a Visa to allow8myself and family to go away to live in the United9States and hide.10And I, in fact, came back to Jamaica in11May of 2009 for a visit to the US Embassy. I was12called for a meeting for the Visa Hearing, and it was13less than two weeks after arriving here in Jamaica14that the last attempt on my life took place.15I was attacked by two armed men with16assault riffles at my home approximately 9:00 p.m. I17was injured during that incident.18QHow were you injured?19AI was shot during the incident.20QShot where?21AMy arm, my thigh and a bullet fragments22to my head.23QWhere were you treated?24APrincess Margeret Hospital in Saint25Thomas.SOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT REPORTING, INC.954-767-0550

There’s so many traumatic things that6happened, but I can produce you with all these7documents to substantiate.8QWho do you think was responsible for9that incident?10AThe man charged and now presently in11Court is Treasure Kayon Cambell, described as James12Robertson’s right-hand man, and still presently, to13this day, has been given several major contracts, road14contracts, by James Robertson. He is still very close15to James Robertson and is presently still facing the16Court on a charge of conspiracy to murder on my case,17the indent that took place at my house.18QSo the individual, Treasure, who had19been charged with conspiracy of murder, has been given20contracts by James Robertson?21AYes. They’re still very close, very22close. And, as a matter of fact, all three attempts23on my life, the man known as “Rameesh Rick Simpson”,24the very same man that James Robertson had went to25rescue in a shootout with the police, here in Jamaica.SOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT REPORTING, INC.954-767-0550

541QYes.2AThere was a famous case where James3Robertson went to rescue this man, Rameesh Rick4Simpson, here in Jamaica.5This man is implicated by the police6here in Jamaica in every single attempt on my life7that is made to date.8As recently as five months ago, I was9called to a meeting by the Morant Bay Police to say10they yet, again, uncovered a plot to have me killed.11The main perpetrator of this plot was revealed to me12by the police five months ago to be the nephew of13Rameesh Rick Simpson, the known James Robertson14shooter, and I was warned that my life was in danger.15There was a $300,000.00 contract out.16QWhen you say that there’s a $300,000.0017contract, what do you mean?18AThis young man was paid $300,000.00.19The money was actually coming down through James20Robertson to Rameesh Simpson, who was under tremendous21heat from the Saint Thomas police for various murders22and other crimes, so he had passed the contract to his23nephew.24His nephew, at the time, was wanted by25the police for attempted murder. He had shot at someSOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT REPORTING, INC.954-767-0550

551cops earlier on in the year, and they told me2specifically that he was the one that got – this3contract was coming down directly from the member of4Parliament.5QWhat is the name of the member of6Parliament?7AJames Robertson.8I was given two versions by two9different groups of police; one is the Yallahs police,10where I live. They told me a different version, that11the money was paid but there was also additional money12spent to buy a gun to commit the crime.13QWhat type of gun was that?14AIt was 9 millimeter.15QWho spent the money for that gun?16AJames Robertson.17I was told by the Yallahs police that18the money was issued through a contract on the Yallahs19Bridge.20James Robertson had given the same man,21Rameesh Rick Simpson, the contract and then asked and22then told him that $300,000.00 from that money was to23be used to have me killed. So he had specifically24given this man a large contract and then told him that25a fraction of the contract he had received wasSOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT REPORTING, INC.954-767-0550

561supposed to be used to have me killed.2This was all relayed to me by the Saint3Thomas police.4Besides the three attempts on my life as5little as five months ago, there was information from6the police that there was yet another attempt.7QYou’re aware of a letter that I sent to8the Honorable Pamela Bridgewater, US Ambassador to9Jamaica, on October 7th, “Re: Political Asylum of Ian10Johnson”; did you authorize that letter?11AYes.

——————————————————————————–
Page 59
591AThere most definitely is.2QWhat is that connection?3ANot only are they from the same4political party, but James Robertson was trying very5hard to be the member of Parliament for that specific6area, West Kingston, and so he has formed a7partnership with Christopher Dudus Coke.8QWhen you say, “a partnership”, what type9of partnership, a business partnership?10AWell, not specifically a business11partnership, I would say. He has made it in as a12strong man.13QWho has –14APardon me?15QWhat is the connection between16Christopher Coke and James Robertson?17AWell, as far as I know, they’re close18friends. There are a lot of rumors, nothing I can19substantiate, but specifically, I can say to you that20they are very close friends and James had several21meetings with this man that I know of based on people22who are very close to Mr. Coke, himself, that I knew23very well and I still know, and there are several24things that I can also say would concretely lead me to25believe they are very close friends.SOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT REPORTING, INC.954-767-0550

601QWhat are those things that you can say2concretely?3AMost specifically, I can tell you that4during a very publicized case which involved the5Jamaica Labour Party here recently in Jamaica, where6Mr. Coke was facing extraditement to the United7States.

He was told that he could take as25much as five people along with himself, and he wantedSOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT REPORTING, INC.954-767-0550

Psalm 23

1You, LORD, are my shepherd.
I will never be in need.

2You let me rest in fields

of green grass.

You lead me to streams

of peaceful water,

3and you refresh my life.

You are true to your name,

and you lead me

along the right paths.

4I may walk through valleys

as dark as death,

but I won’t be afraid.

You are with me,

and your shepherd’s rod [a] makes me feel safe.

5You treat me to a feast,

while my enemies watch.

You honor me as your guest,

and you fill my cup

until it overflows.

6Your kindness and love

will always be with me

each day of my life,

and I will live forever

in your house, LORD.
