On November 13, 2013 Resident Magistrate Vashti Chatoor in the Spanish Town RM Court ordered that Rastafari vacate the premises at Pinnacle by January 31, 2014.
Pinnacle lot 199 the Pinnacle of Pinnacles was declared National Heritage on September 12 , 2013 and as such is protected under The Jamaica National Heritage Trust Act. Today, Hodesh spoke with Mr Dorrick Gray at the Jamaica National Heritage Trust and he was unaware of any changes. He will reason with Ms Lisa Grant and update the foundation.
Sister Hodesh also spoke with our attorney Barry Frankson today and I need to request and receive from the National Heritage Trust tomorrow a certified copy of the National Heritage Trust Declaration to file our appeal in the appeals court.
***I need to reason on the moving forward with donations from the family of at least $200 each and other directors and supporters donate whatever they can by December 5, 2013 to get this appeal filed. Sister Fan’eye would help with an updated petition and a paypal or other account to raise funds specifically to pay the attorney at this time.
We need to keep our eyes on the prize and rise to the defence of The King of Kings Living Self Reliance. And, this is probably best thing that has happened to a now decadent people, Karma.
We need to assemble our legal and media teams reaching across all borders and boundaries making the alliances with those of like minds as we fight for Pinnacle and our Ivine rights as Aethiopians.
Our attorney…… Frankson B E 9 Church Street, , Jamaica – (876) 922-3768
Ras Prof I will reason with the idren at the all mansion gathering on December 1, 2013 in Trench Town
Again, the board will gather with 24-48 hours notice to address this dire emergency.
Thanks again for your love and strength.

The RasTafari Family will appeal this unjust ruling in the Court of Appeals and we are confident in victory from Pinnacle to Coral Gardens to Tivoli. In this our 80th year in this struggle, from January 1933-2013, we remain the conscience of an unjust Jamaica government and opposition who violate our land economic and basic human rights at will resulting in cultural genocide.
Pinnacle was raided constantly looted and finally burnt down all for ganga they say but we know it was to destroy African Self Governance and Self Reliance. Now this unjust ruling as the same government and opposition seeks to decriminalize or legalize gana in Jamaica.

Greetings,
You realize that the Lake family owns Island Homes, and that Island Homes owns St. Jago Hills Estates, and that one of these Lake brothers is the man in charge of the Jamaican National Heritage Trust. And that the Minister of Culture, Lisa Hanna, lives with him and has a son by him. Ever wonder why every speech she gives about Jamaican Culture refers to the Maroons, and rarely to Rastafari. Because she gets richer the more big expensive homes they build on The Pinnacle lands. Babylon corruption. Also beware of one called Lance Ho Shing, a British plant sent to infiltrate Rasta and the reparations movement, now so full of hate for Rasta that he wants to destroy the brethren. He was burned down and kicked out when caught lying and stealing from Rasta, and has now found refuge with the Ethiopian Tewahedo Orthodox Church under Priest Raphael Worlde Hay. Ho Shing hates Rasta like Bustamante hated Rasta, a true psychopath. Be warned, be careful, defend Rastafari. Blessings.
It doesn’t sit well, if Rasta, like Babylon, publishes untruthful things about people not when ours is supposed to be a philosophy whose foundation is built on truth and rights. As such it suits the movement to do thorough research on all issue it wishes to highlight in the public domain. For example, Lisa Hanna doesn’t have a child for the Lake guy with whom she is involved. Her son is a Panton.
We care not about Lisa Hannah’s son. Leonard Percival Howell and every Rastafari has mothers. Keep it to the issue at hand, PINNACLE and the theft of Rastafari Lands.
Give thanks for paying attention.
President Bob Mugabe has ordered all white business owners to vacate their businesses by January 1, 2014 for black Zimbabweans. I don’t know, what do you think?
I am not happy to read about the loss of land dedicated to preserving the memory of Jah Nobelman. I too have experience such a loss here in Texass. I think It a good idea for us to come together and hash out a plan for economic development.
Please stop this as this land is very important to Ratafarians all over the world
Rasta must unite. We are confident of the victory of good over evil. One one coco full basket. We must be prepared to defend our heritage not just with words but also cash. Let us all get involved and move the issue forward.
We Africans that were born in Jamaica must strive earnestly to continue leading the world in Unity as we do in Sports Music and Culture. The arrogance and crippling ignorance displayed by misguided greedy power crazy elitists in ordering Rasta to vacate a site of monumental significance to us, a place we have occupied for nearly 100 years is abhorrent nasty and totally disrespectful.
Which other group of people anywhere in Jamaica has contributed more to the elevation of Jamaica Culturally, Socially, Economically, Intellectually and otherwise. Which other group of Jamaicans has a comparable record of sacrifices and offerings to the cause of elevating Jamaica the Caribbean and Africa as Rasta?
I am humbly asking that the order be withdrawn and it becomes legally binding through due process that Rasta at home and abroad be the rightful custodians of Pinnacle without a time restrictions or reason to contemplate or anticipate antagonism from any powers Locally Nationally or Internationally.
It is heart breaking to see the level of disrespect, arrogance, ignorance, and loose immoral disdain elements of the Jamaica Government has for its citizens. To be able to manipulate the Judiciary to act in such a corrupting manner requires serious attention from the Heads of State. This Ministry and Minister seem to have become a rogue and are unfit for purpose.
Disrespecting Rasta in such a manner is Treasonous. And any Person or group of persons that treats or threatens to treat Jamaican citizens in such a way especially a Member of Parliament must be held to account. Yuh caah tan pon Cow back and cut Cow skin.
It is clear that there is a hidden agenda behind this order to Rasta to Vacate Pinnacle. The vale of National Heritage Site preservation is too thin to disguise the desire of the clique. This is an attempt to erase Brother Howell work from the history of Jamaica and to set Jamaicans against each other. We won’t accept that.
We are not sacred but we show respect and deserve respect. We help to build Jamaica and will continue to do so and we deserve a place to call our own. We have been taking care of Pinnacle. It can be a National Heritage Site that Rasta occupies. This is the 21st Century we are more literate than before the days of Cliques and Cartels are numbered. Jamaica is for all Jamaicans. Rasta’s are second to none and we resist being pushed around.
The Honourable Marcus Garvey once said that a nation without economics is a nation without respect. The Rastafari community is without respect because it lacks economic power! Reggae music was supposed to have helped to create that wealth and power for the Rastafari community, but the rich musicians have undermined their role in aiding and assisting!

I an i Osayimwese Osagboro, speak on behalf of the Rastafari Univercity of Higher LifeLearning, from i position of Vice Chancellor, in giving i full support to the fight to stave off this judgement. This is a judgement against the legacy of Rastafari, and must be seen as such. This is another serious error on the part of the Justice of Jamaica, and another sign from an official of the state of the ignorance that is pervasive about the importance of the Culture of Rastafari to the world at large.
United we STAND divided we fall. We must come together and fight the power that be. This is an attack on our culture in attempt to destroy our Tradition. Any way that I can help, I’m ALL IN.

I’m sure if your Attorney Frankson searches the sub-sections of ‘Land Rights’ and reads the small print, they will find a clause which states: “Any person(s) living on premises for more than 10 years, can be granted a stay of residence”…or words to that effect
Mmhh… I think africa has to be independent. But still most high I & I want us to be one. So africa has to be independent but still make some business with the white yellow or the red man. Afrika is the land of resources but not really the land of education. So work with everybody africa but never sell your land. Make money for poor pll african presidents not just for your family. Stopp corruption. Find your way to god. Ther is no other option! Peace love and unity
Blessings

No doubt there are plans for the land to be used to build luxury houses behind gates and security posts!! People I am not a rasta but I respect the struggle that went on 80 years ago, and the blood, sweat and tears of those who were beaten and tortured for no other reason than because they chose to be different.
Time to stop chatting about ‘I & I” and ‘Babylon” and deal with the issue from a legal standpoint. That’s the only language these people know.
There are enough Rasta at home and abroad who can put their money where their mouth is, pool funds and hire a top class team of lawyers to fight this! If all else fails follow the OCCUPY movement and OCCUPY! OCCUPY!
Looking Forward To Seeing The Full Vision Of This Film Marilyn.Thank You For Putting Care Into What I’ve Seen Online So Far.It very refreshing To See This Subject Produced With Passion.BlessYogiFish
If the Government of Jamaica neglect it’s people in the manner of using a legal framework to remove citizens from their residence ,then Jamaica cannot clain to have full understanding of their own laws on land rights.( Read it, it is clear they cannot remove these people )
I am sure they have a few musical CD’S and vinals of some of Jamaica’s finest musicians some of which descendes from the very people they have ordered to vacate their place of residence.
We must not walk the colonial route again.We must continue to educate our citizens and preserve the land for the people , not for foreigners like the Japanese ect,ect,ect.and Jamaicans are excluded. There is a rat in the legal kitchen, and we can all smell it. The fight must go on.
