TREKLANG REGGAE & BONGO ASHER LIVE CLIP FRÅN KAFFELINO

I & I STILL REMEMBER YOU BRO... JOSEPH HILL

Måste bara göra en Tribut till mannen bakom Culture och ett helt livslångt krig mot Babylon och orättvisor...Joseph "Culture" Hill....Kenyatta Hill hans son sjunger i bandet nu som har alla orginal medlemmar låter sådär vissa låtar sjunger han rätt likt.
But he will Grow...
Jo på bilden står tribut bok sök bara Joseph Hill eller Culture på myspace ni som känner till han eller ni som inte.
Låten är från albumet TRUST ME!!!Wicked album
Finns en tribut sida där man kan skriva nå ord som hans familj sen läser...

BACK TO CULTURE....ENJOY RASTAFARI!!!!




Hmm när jag väntade på att videon skulle laddas upp kunde jag inte utan en tår i ögat tänka på Per "Ras River" Klingefur som lämnade oss för några år sen till Zion. VILKET jag VET att han gjort sig förtjänt av att komma in genom dess portar...

Till Ras River Per Klingefur...denna låt spelade han alltid och när han fördes tillbaka till jorden då spelade vi den sen då....NÄR LIVET ÄR TUNGT LÄGG DINA BÖRDOR VID FLODKANTEN. JAH FÖRSER FÖR FÅGLARNA I SKYN OCH FISKARNA I VATTNEN SÅ DÅ BORDE JU HAN FÖRSE FÖR MIG OCKSÅ...
Dom orden i låten hjälpte han mycket i hans kamp mot cancern...
Jah tar dom han tycker om tidigt.
Han förtjänade INGEN förtjänade att behöva kämpa så som han gjorde...
HAN BRÄNDE BABYLON...Så brännmärken sitter kvar än idag i deras murar runt oss och om deras definitioner om vad vi kan göra och inte. Deras BULLY fasoner att bestämma över varenda aspekt över våra liv...
Kommer aldrig sluta kämpa mot Babylon i alla dess former om inget annat för Ras Per's skull.

I & I kan finna lite tröst i att han har det bättre i Zion och som Haile Selassie JAH RASTAFARI uttryckte det så bra om döden med dessa ord...

WHEN WE ASUNDER PART.

IT GIVES INWARD PAIN.

BUT WE SHALL STILL BE JOINED IN HEART

AND HOPE TO MEET AGAIN IN MOUNT ZION... /H.I.M. HAILE SELASSIE

Att man finner lite tröst i det...WE SHALL MEET AGAIN IN MT. ZION.

Men då måste man leva för att förtjäna det.

LIFE IS A TEST, PASS AND U GET A PLACE OF REST...

Saknar dig broder!!!Hälsa Marley, krama Liv från mig hälsa på Maichel Dan trevlig snubbe. Tyvärr för många har lämnat I & I för mig att nämna..

GOOD FRIENDS WE HAD NOW, GOOD FRIENDS WE LOST ALONG THE WAY!!!

/Bob Marley - No Woman No Cry

Kommer även lägga upp den andra Culture låten som spelades på hans begravning.
Addis Ababba...


Vila i frid brder I & I miss U. The-I was unique....Truthful. Honourful, Respectfull, Rightenouness, Lovinful, Caringful...ONE OF A KIND... Blessings går ut till familjen...
Vet att vi fortfarande pratar om dig du är ett föredöme än idag hur man ska bete sig...
Love U Ras!!! Vila i frid...Som du skrev i brevet.
ATT NÄR JAG LÄMNAT ER SITTER JAG VID FLODKANTEN MED EN FET SPLIFF I MIN HAND...Yes Iyah njut broder du kämpade så länge.
Hälsa Marley...
PER KLINGEFUR A REAL RASTAMAN DAT!!!

H.I.M. HAILE SELASSIE TALAR OM RASISM

Racial Discrimination

The spectre of racial discrimination which has for so long cast its dark and evil shadow over much of this globe is slowly disappearing.
Men are coming increasingly to be judged by their talents and abilities rather than by the less meaningful and far more superficial standards of race and religion.
But there yet remain those who, in their bigotry and ignorance, resist this flooding tide, and it is against these that our efforts must be directed.
The struggle to win for our brothers in South Africa that status as free men, free to stand, heads high, among free men as equals, which so many millions of Africans and Asians have attained but yesterday, goes on. our duty is not discharged, our course is not run, our victory not won so long as apartheid, the legitimized policy of the Government of the Union of South Africa, prevails in any area of the world.

In South Africa, an attempt has been made to legislate the inequality of the races. This attempt is doomed to failure. We here are all pledged not to pause in this strife until its emptiness and mockery are revealed for all to see and those who have used it for their own purposes have abjured this doctrine which is an insult to all men and to Almighty God in Whose image we are created.
But, at the same time, let us not bemuse ourselves with the notion that it is any more possible to legislate equality, for these matters concern attitudes and values over which intellect sadly exercises but little control.
Let us not recoil in hatred against those who, even while protecting their freedom from bias and prejudice, reveal by their actions that the poison of discrimination has left its lasting effects, and by this reaction reveal that we, no less than they, are prey to unreasoning emotion, that we, no less than they, are susceptible to that virus which is called intolerance.
Apartheid Must Be Discredited
The African states have already imposed direct sanctions in the economic and diplomatic fields in an attempt to influence the policies of South Africa and to convince the South African leaders that it is in no sense in their interest any longer to adhere to this policy.
We should, during this Confcrence, consider if there are not additional measures which we may adopt to speed the inevitable day when the policy of racial discrimination and the principle of apartheid are discredited and abandoned.
But let us take pride in the fact that as free men we attack and abhor racial discrimination on principle, wherever it is found and in whatever guise.
We can, in addition to the economic pressures of which we dispose, bring our moral weight to bear and rally world opinion to our cause by revealing the brutality, the inhumanity, the inherent viciousness and evil represented by this policy.
It is only natural for man to strive towards a better life, to wish to educate his children while he himself was uneducated, to desire to shelter and clothe them while he himself was naked and scourged by the elements, to strive to spare them from the crude diseases by which he himself was ravaged. But when these ends are realized at the expense of others, at the cost of their degradation and poverty, these desires, which are not intrinsically immoral or pernicious in themselves, must be frustrated, and the means by which these otherwise legitimate ends are sought to be attained must be scorned and shunned.
We ourselves, the Non-Aligned Nations of the world, seek no less than others these same objectives. And it is not by mere chance that we also count among our number the great majority of the underdeveloped nations of the world, for not until the direction and determination of man's fate is firmly within his own grasp can be devote the totality of his strength to his own good.

BUNNY WAILER - 400 YEARS LIVE SESSION & WORDS OF TRUTH & WISDOM

SINEAD O CONNOR FRÅN MTV DOCKA TILL REGGAE MUSIKER (MAYBE RASTA) TROENDE IALLFALL!!!

I programmet Saturday Night Live hade hon ett framträdande LIVE...Och hon kör War Accapella fast lägger in CHILD ABUSE. I slutet river hon sönder en bild på Påven (BIG UP) och säger orden fight the real enemy...
Blir knäpptyst.









Som ni kommer se sen på andra videon så kör hon på en Bob Dylan Tribut men publiken buar så mycket så hon blir tröstad med tårar i ögonen...
(Amerikarna e duktiga på kalla sig kristna fast dom krigar i Irak osv. och knappt nån har läst Bibeln.) Sen ungefär Fuck it ber hon dom höja micken och det är inge Dylan låt som kommer utan hon skriker ut låten WAR!!! Blandat sen med applåder och bu rop..
Sen försvann hon i MÅNGA år genomgick svår depression.


Tills hon började med musik med SLY & ROBBIE, körde med Burning Spear.
Sen gjorde en cover skiva. Cover turne som jag också lägger upp Peter Tosh- Downpressor Man och Ras Michael & The Sons Of Negus - None A Jah Jah Children....

Efter allt detta med den clean reggae sound fast reggae egentligen är budskapet så sista videon är ett Irländskt tror jag TV framträdande då hon framför en låt då det inte e det klassiska reggae basen osv. men låten FIRE ON BABYLON..:Tung lyssna noga- SHE TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME, SHE TOOK MY FATHER FROM ME.

She = Babylon


ENJOY BIG UP SINEAD

I AFRIKA KALLAS HAN THE AFRICAN TEACHER...

REGGAE = KINGSMUSIC = BUDKSKAP

Ibland vi kanske hör låtar som e reggae men inte hör det. Om va kan ta som ett ex. om Bob Marley inte vore känd och folk skulle höra Redemption Song inte choppa rhythm ljud utan bara vanligt akustiskt gitarr spel o text som John Lennon lika gärna kunde ha skrivit.
Så det är the message dat matter.

Så här har ni från Twelve Tribes of Israel Rasta Gruppen BAD BRAINS med låten SOUL CRAFT!!!

SLY & ROBBIE'S MOTSVARIGHET I PERCUSSION!!!!

UZIAH "STICKY" THOMPSON

Dom som känner till reggae vet att Sly Dunbar (trummor) & Robbie Shakespeare (Bas) tillsammans kända som Sly & Robbie är legender inom reggaen. Dom har nog lagt bas o trummor åt nästan alla som finns, även utanför Paul McCartney, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan mfl.

Earl "Chinna" Smith är i gitarr vad dom är för bas o trummor.
Men som Handtrummor o percussion älskare kan jag inte låta denna man inte bli nämnd

UZIAH "STICKY" THOMPSON som också spelat med nästan alla även om det är på enstaka låtar på deras album. Är han ett geni i percussion väg.
Alpha Blondy percussion spelare kan ej vid namn närmar sig han i trumväg men men inte i närheten...


I denna video är det Horace Andy & Sly & Robbie som gör en platta och detta är inspelat för en DVD...Kolla killen. Fiahs (Matthias the Dread) percussion Nyahbinghi spelare från bla. Gentleman, Daddy Rings, Natty King mfl. tipsade mig. Och med hans ord när man hör detta då förstår man att man har mycket att lära sig...
Det säger FIAHS han e duktig på handtrumma så...
SE och han e så skön hör vad han säger när Horace säger gör inte 2 slaps...

Haha

ROCKERS (INTROT)

Kunde inte låta bli att inte lägga in Introt...ENJOY detta är WICKE. Det är Ras Michael som spelar Nyahbinghi Kette trumman (trumman som spelas snabbt dom andra spelas i Heartbeat aka. 1.2) uppbackad av bla. The Abydyssians och The Sons of Negus, Kiddus I, Burning Spear mfl.

TRE FILM OCH DOKUMENTÄR TIPS!!!

Den första kan man inte utelämna Jamaica Filmen Rockers gjord 1978.
Med en starring list som är OTROLIG check dis...I Huvudrollen Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, Winston Rodney (Burning Spear), Jacob Miller, Gregory Isaacs, Kiddus I, Robbie Shakespeare, Earl "Chinna" Smith, Big Youth, Jack Ruby, Jah Wise, Bongo Herman, Ras Michael & The Sons Of Negus, The Abyssinians mfl...
Vissa gör bara väldigt korta framträdande i filmen men ändå vilken lineup...

Videoklippen från filmen är trailern och introt där The Abyssinians med en Gitarr backade av Ras Michael & The Sons Of Negus och bla. Kiddus I, Burning Spear och Horsemouth framför en Nyahbinghi version av Satta Amassagana låten och ett Rasta Chant Talk av en Rasta Elder!!!
Och vilket Soundtrack Check it...

På www.imdb.com (Internet Movie Data Base) (bra sida) har 556 personer gett den i snitt 7.7 av 10 i betyg...










Den andra filmen är Shottas från 2002 eller Rude Bway film med Hitmens lite Scarface anda fast hästlängder i kvalitet ifrån tycker filmen tappar sin glans efter halva då den blir lite "overklig" med Ky-mani Marley i huvudrollen, 1020 som röstat på imdb har gett den 5.2 av 10 jag skulle väl ge den 6.2 av 10...
Sen lite väl vålds glorifiering för min smak. Men det är väl en del av verkligheten.
















Den fjärde är en dokumentär Life And Debt enligt imdb här e vad den är om "Documentary look at the effects of globalization on Jamaican industry and agriculture."
Har fått 7.5 av 10 och 560 röster...Finns schyssta icke dokumentär inlägg bla Buju Banton och Yami Bolo som går på Jamaica's gator och sjunger Accapella...Och en Nyahbinghi Session där det läses ur Selassie I selected Speeches bok och sjungs Chanten DEM GIMME BASKET FI GO CARRY WATER..
Och det som gör den lite speciell är att 3 Rasta varav 2 Elders sitter och pratar om Jamaica's ekonomi och annat ur en politiskt, eller väldigt inte filosofiskt utan informativ synvinkel...
Lite seg dock tycker jag men helt klart sevärd...





OBS. Måste även nämna THE HARDER THEY COME med Jimmy Cliff...Gör nåt om den sen vad I kan tillägga att det var den filmen som "inspirerade" Governor Andy att börja med Reggae Musik...

SVENSKA REGGAE BANBRYTANDE LEGENDARISKA ARTIST....PEPS PERSSON OCH PEPS BLODSBAND

RIBUT TILL MANNEN SOM GJORT MEST FÖR SVENSK REGGAE!!!PEPS PERSSON!

Många tror att våra största o första
reggae artister var tex. Papa Dee, eller Kalle Baah, kanske tom. Governor Andy, Papa Bull för att nämna några tidiga...

Men måste säga så jag kan se det den som gjort mest för svensk reggae är utan tvekan Peps Persson.
Han fick blues o jazz fansen att lyssna på reggae många säkert utan att vara medveten om att låtar som Snackelåten, Liden Såg, Styr Den Opp är Talkin Blues, Small Axe, Stir It Up alla av Bob Marley.
Så han fick in reggaen och folk kollade in dessa artister som han gjorde covers av...
Detta var långt innan andra slog, det fanns en mer underground men han gjorde ju så folk som min morbror tycker tex. Hyreskasern är suverän. Och då tycker han om reggae för takten o texten är så gott som identiskt med orginalet av Jacob Miller med låten Tenemant Yard.
Bunny Wailer's Unity o Johnny Too Bad i svenska som Enighet o Ronny Du E Rå...
Peter Tosh's Mark of the Beast i svenska under Vildjurets Tecken (Snea Figurer)

Pressure Drop med Toots & The Maytals är också omgjord av Peps under namnet Stressen Knäcker...


Så BIG UP PEPS BLODSBAND...Som äger än idag...


Bilden är från Uppsala Reggae Festival 2003 Peps Blodsband...

OBS. Senaste albumet och det var länge innan ett släpptes är ÄNTLIGEN! PEPS BLODSBAND med en grym cover på Toots & The Maytals Pressure Drop vid namn Stressen knäcker...Mycket reggae men även, den vanliga jazz blandningen. Men till 75-80% av låtarna är Reggae.
Här e tracklisten

1. Inga Vargar Jagar Mig
2. Grannen
3. Homo Economicus
4. HörDuJag Du
5. Stressen Knäcker
6. Tid (För Tango)
7. E Du Dum
8. Rälit Råttgift Blues
9. Efter Bör Man Till
10. Militantiasis (feat. Timbuktu)
11. Alldeles Lagom
12. Jag Manipulerar
13. Seglat Nerför Floden Rhen

Tack Till Alla För Era Fina kommentarer och uppmuntrande ord om denna blogg och tom. I...Give Thanks...

En suverän skiva att spela med till med olika instrument. En uptempo Electric Nyahbinghi Reggae skiva...4 av 5 i betyg...Nästan en 5:a...Ras Michael's bästa...Såklart vissa låtar som tex. None A Jah Jah Children gör ju att man diggar den skivan...

SVT Papa's Kappsäck från Earl "Chinna" Smiths Inna De Yard

Papa Dee's program från Jamaica innehåller en del när han är till Legenden Chinna's bakgård "Inna De Yard" där vi finner Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace (Från filmen Rockers och trummis), Chinna, Kiddus I, Flabba Holt (Basist i Israel Vibration bla.) mfl.

Svensk textad ENJOY

Ras Michael Jr.

Nyahbinghi Specialisten har en son som har börjat en musikalisk karriär, hört han framföra Spirital Order i Earl "Chinna" Smiths Inna De Yard, och gjorde en skiva med den titeln.
Det finns flera tex. Kiddus I - Inna De Yard. Cedric "Congo" Myton - Inna De Yard & tex. The Mighty Diamonds - Inna De Yard.

Nu har han gjort nå låtar och släppt nå låtar utanför Inna De Yard, han kallar sig själv konstigt nog Prince Of Hippies...

www.myspace.com/rasmichaeljr där e hans myspace.

Videon är från Earl "Chinna" Smith's bakgård aka. Inna De Yard

Personligen ska det bli intressant och följa han och se om han blir med gitarren vad hans far är med Nyahbinghi trumman...

IJAHMAN - HAILE I HYMN (CHAPTER 1)

Grymt grymt första album av Ijahman Levi som en del skrevs när han satt i fängelse. 4 låtar bara

Här e texterna till dom för vissa saker sjungs sällan 2 gånger



Jah Heavy Load

I've got to carry Jah heavy load
Because I walk in His gladness
On His merry merry road
I've got to carry Jah heavy load
I've got to back up myself
Against false evidence
I've got to carry Jah heavy load
I've got to pick up where them say
Jah Jah left off and gone
I have to carry Jah heavy heavy load

in my meditation when I reason with Him
Clearly in my visions of dreams
He reason with me
I feel Jah Jah heartically
Oh I know what I do believe
I believe in Jah-Jah truth and rights

I've got to carry Jah heavy load OH
I've got to carry Jah heavy load OH

This rumour situation that is spreading across the nation
Trying to dim the lights
Been precious in my Father sight
Saying that Rasta Father
Trodding this earth no longer
But in Zion is my Father's Throne
And I know the earth is his foot stool

I've got to carry Jah heavy load OH
I've got to carry Jah heavy load OH

He said I feel it every day
I said its heavy every day OH
Jah Jah is a every day
Heavy every day

Back to Index of Haile I Hymn











Jah Is No Secret

This heavy load that I carry personally
It is for Jah Jah and I
Jah never yet is a secret
I just can't keep it
Jah Jah never yet is a secret
Jah come and reveal it
I just can't help open up the truth OH

Behold our Father His Powe and His Glory
I see all Jah mystery
I believe in all Jah do and say
In Zion the law giver
The fruits of all roots in Judah
I haile I hymn King of Kings
And Lord of Lords
The love of Jah preserve in man
Fittedly words was spoken were
Of His Imperial Majesty
I haile I hymn Haile Selassie
And to all tribe in Judah Jah arrive
The part taken of grace
Meet me face to face in Isaiah chapter 45

This heavy load that I carry personally
It is for Jah Jah and I
Jah never yet is a secret
I just can't keep it
Jah Jah never yet is a secret
Jah come and reveal it
I Just can't help open up the truth
Oh Ah Oh Ah Oh Ah Ah Oh
Ah Ah Ah Ah

I man is involved in the holy trinity
Oh Israel don't you judge condemn another man
Only yesterday while I was a child
Jah reveal to I behold I a surname
Funny how love can change a man
I man baptised Serfie Selassie
I'm the sword of the Trinity
Unto all tribe I'm still the Levi
Why the personality
Towards the same Jah glory

chorus

Jah Is No Secret Chapter 2

Zion Hut

I ride upon the winds that blow
That how for my spirit flows
There in distant regions
While in my spiritual searching
I found the true tree of life within my mouth
And this I have to share with you
Friends and strangergs no doubt
I hear distant sound
And I write to what is found
I tongue is like a pen of a ready writer
I only speak of things
Pertaining to my Jah and Kings
And of the life of Him
Of whom all things and I dwell and live in

He said blessed are the pure in spirit
RASTAFARI
for theirs is the Kingdom of Zion
The dwelling of my Father's pavillions
Blessed are they that mourn
RASTAFARI
For they shall be comforted
Within the devineness of my Father's hands
Blessed are the meek
For they shall inherite the earth
And possess the heathen under their humble feet
Blessed are they which hunger and thirst after righteousness
For they shall be filled with such spiritual blessing
I am I am I am I am what thou sayest that I am
That is what I am

Blessed is the man that walketh
Not in the council of the ungodly
Nor standeth in the ways of sinners
Nor sitteth in the seats of the scornful

And in his law do I am Serfie Selassie

Zion Hut Chapter 2

I often sit alone within my wildertones
Watching my father designings
Whithin the lights on the clouds
Exploring I gloriest heavens
Within Jah signs in my silence
Receiving my Fathers blessings within His own times

While nights unto nights showeth He I His knowledge
For the goodness of myself in whom I'm all well paid

I Am A Levi

Early as the morning dew
Holy and beautiful Thy eyes

Some they say it's a secret with me
While others question right down to my own religion

I'm a levi I fear Jah and live
Whether rain or sunshine

Early as the morning dew
Holy from the wombs of the early morning spring
Thou art the dew of Thy youth Jah Jah say Jah
Thou art the rod of the strength out of Mount Zion
Sit theyself down at thy right hand children
And I will make you rule right round the midst of the heathen

I'm a levi fear Jah and live

I give God thanks and praises every day
So Jah Jah say
For me it must be a chapter a day

He circumcises I and dwelleth in I
Watch the words you all speak mind misinterpretation

TAL AV MARCUS MOSIAH GARVEY 1922

THE TRUE SOLUTION OF THE NEGRO PROBLEM

As far as Negroes are concerned, in America we have the problem of lynching, peonage and dis-franchisement. In the West Indies, South and Central America we have the problem of peonage, serfdom, industrial and political governmental inequality. In Africa we have, not only peonage and serfdom, but outright slavery, racial exploitation and alien political monopoly. We cannot allow a continuation of these crimes against our race. As four hundred million men, women and children, worthy of the existence given us by the Divine Creator, we are determined to solve our own problem, by redeeming our Motherland Africa from the hands of alien exploiters and found there a government, a nation of our own, strong enough to lend protection to the members of our race scattered all over the world, and to compel the respect of the nations and races of the earth. Do they lynch Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans or Japanese? No. And Why?

Because these people are represented by great governments, mighty nations and empires, strongly organized. Yes, and ever ready to shed the last drop of blood and spend the last penny in the national treasury to protect the honor and integrity of a citizen outraged anywhere. Until the Negro reaches this point of national independence, all he does as a race will count for naught, because the prejudice that will stand out against him even with his ballot in his hand, with his industrial progress to show, will be of such an overwhelmning nature as to perpetuate mob violence and mob rule, from which he will suffer, and which he will not be able to stop with his industrial wealth and with his ballot. You may argue that he can use his industrial wealth and his ballot to force the

government to recognize him, but he must understand that the government is the people. That the majority of the people dictate the policy of governments, and if the majority are against a measure, a thing, or a race, then the government is impotent to protect that measure, thing or race.

If the Negro were to live in this Western Hemisphere for another five hundred years he would still be outnumbered by other races who are prejudiced against him. He cannot resort to the government for protection for government will be in the hands of the majority of the people who are prejudiced against him, hence for the Negro to depend on the ballot and his industrial progress alone, will be hopeless as it does not help him when he is lynched, burned, jim-crowed and segregated. The future of the Negro therefore, outside of Africa, spells rain and disaster.

HAILE SELASSIE I TAL TILL FN 28 FEBRUARI 1968 (SATT I SÅNG I LÅTEN WAR AV BOB MARLEY)

ADDRESS TO THE UNITED NATIONS

Mr. President, Distinguished Delegates: Twenty-seven years ago, as Emperor of Ethiopia, I mounted the rostrum in Geneva, Switzerland, to address the League of Nations and to appeal for relief from the destruction which had been unleashed against my defenceless nation, by the Fascist invader.
I spoke then both to and for the conscience of the world. My words went unheeded, but history testifies to the accuracy of the warning that I gave in 1936. Today, I stand before the world organization which has succeeded to the mantle discarded by its discredited predecessor. In this body is enshrined the principle of collective security which I unsuccessfully invoked at Geneva. Here, in this Assembly, reposes the best - perhaps the last - hope for the peaceful survival of mankind. In 1936, I declared that it was not the Covenant of the League that was at stake, but international morality. Undertakings, I said then, are of little worth if the will to keep them is lacking.
The Charter of the United Nations expresses the noblest aspirations of man: abjugation of force in the settlement of disputes between states; the assurance of human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion; the safeguarding of international peace and security.
But these, too, as were the phrases of the Covenant, are only words; their value depends wholly on our will to observe and honour them and give them content and meaning. The preservation of peace and the guaranteeing of man's basic freedoms and rights require courage and eternal vigilance: courage to speak and act - and if necessary, to suffer and die - for truth and justice; eternal vigilance, that the least transgression of international morality shad not go undetected and unremedied. These lessons must be learned anew by each succeeding generation, and that generation is fortunate indeed which learns from other than its own bitter experience. This Organization and each of its members bear a crushing and awesome responsibility: to absorb the wisdom of history and to apply it to the problems of the present, in order that future generations may be born, and live, and die, in peace.
The record of the United Nations during the few short years of its life affords mankind a solid basis for encouragement and hope for the future. The United Nations has dared to act, when the League dared not in Palestine, in Korea, in Suez, in the Congo. There is not one among us today who does not conjecture upon the reaction of this body when motives and actions are called into question. The opinion of this Organization today acts as a powerful influence upon the decisions of its members. The spotlight of world opinion, focused by the United Nations upon the transgressions of the renegades of human society, has thus far proved an effective safeguard against unchecked aggression and unrestricted violation of human rights.
The United Nations continues to sense as the forum where nations whose interests clash may lay their cases before world opinion. It still provides the essential escape valve without which the slow build-up of pressures would have long since resulted in catastrophic explosion. Its actions and decisions have speeded the achievement of freedom by many peoples on the continents of Africa and Asia. Its efforts have contributed to the advancement of the standard of living of peoples in ad corners of the world. For this, all men must give thanks. As I stand here today, how faint, how remote. are the memories of 1936.
How different in 1963 are the attitudes of men. We then existed in an atmosphere of suffocating pessimism. Today, cautious yet buoyant optimism is the prevailing spirit. But each one of us here knows that what has been accomplished is not enough. The United Nations judgments have been and continue to be subject to frustration, as individual member-states have ignored its pronouncements and disregarded its recommendations. The Organization's sinews have been weakened, as member states have shirked their obligations to it. The authority of the Organization has been mocked, as individual member-states have proceeded, in violation of its commands, to pursue their own aims and ends. The troubles which continue to plague us virtually all arise among member states of the Organization, but the Organization remains impotent to enforce acceptable solutions. As the maker and enforcer of the international law, what the United Nations has achieved still falls regrettably short of our goal of an international community of nations.
This does not mean that the United Nations has failed. I have lived too long to cherish many illusions about the essential highmindedness of men when brought into stark confrontation with the issue of control over their security, and their property interests. Not even now, when so much is at hazard would many nations willingly entrust their destinies to other hands.
Yet, this is the ultimatum presented to us: secure the conditions whereby men will entrust their security to a larger entity, or risk annihilation; persuade men that their salvation rests in the subordination of national and local interests to the interests of humanity, or endanger man's future. These are the objectives, yesterday unobtainable, today essential, which we must labour to achieve.
Until this is accomplished, mankind's future remains hazardous and permanent peace a matter for speculation. There is no single magic formula, no one simple step, no words, whether written into the Organization's Charter or into a treaty between states, which can automatically guarantee to us what we seek. Peace is a day-to day problem, the product of a multitude of events and judgments. Peace is not an "is", it is a "becoming." We cannot escape the dreadful possibility of catastrophe by miscalculation. But we can reach the right decisions on the myriad subordinate problems which each new day poses, and we can thereby make our contnbution and perhaps the most that can be reasonably expected of us in 1963 to the preservation of peace.
It is here that the United Nations has served us - not perfectly, but well. And in enhancing the possibilities that the Organization may serve us better, we serve and bring closer our most cherished goals.
I would mention briefly today two particular issues which are of deep concern to all men: disarmament and the establishment of true equality among men. Disarmament has become the urgent imperative of our time, I do not say this because I equate the absence of arms to peace, or because I believe that bringing an end to the nuclear arms race automatically guarantees the peace, or because the elimination of nuclear warheads from the arsenals of the world will bring in its wake that change in attitude requisite to the peaceful settlement of disputes between nations. Disarmament is vital today, quite simply, because of the immense destructive capacity of which men dispose.
Ethiopia supports the atmospheric nuclear test ban treaty as a step towards this goal, even though only a partial step. Nations can still perfect weapons of mass destruction by underground testing There is no guarantee against the sudden, unannounced resumption of testing in the atmosphere.
The real significance of the treaty is that it admits of a tacit stalemate between the nations which negotiated it, a stalemate which recognizes the blunt, unavoidable fact that none would emerge from the total destruction which would be the lot of all in a nuclear war, a stalemate which affords us and the United Nations a breathing space in which to act.
Here is our opportunity and our challenge. If the nuclear powers are prepared to declare a truce, let us seize the moment to strengthen the institutions and precedures which will serve as the means for the pacific settlement of disputes among men.
Conflicts between nations will continue to arise. The real issue is whether they are to be resolved by force, or by resort to peaceful methods and procedures, administered by impartial institutions. This very Organization itself is the greatest such institution, and it is in a more powerful United Nations that we seek, and it is here that we shall find, the assurance of a peaceful future.
Were a real and effective disarmament achieved and the funds now spent in the arms race devoted to the amelioration of man's state; were we to concentrate only on the peaceful uses of nuclear knowledge, how vastly and in how short a time might we change the conditions of mankind. This should be our goal.
When we talk of the equality of man, we find, also, a challenge and an opportunity; a challenge to breathe new life into the ideals enshrined in the Charter, an opportunity to bring men closer to freedom and true equality. and thus, closer to a love of peace.
The goal of the equality of man which we seek is the antithesis of the exploitation of one people by another with which the pages of history and in particular those written of the African and Asian continents, speak at such length.
Exploitation, thus viewed, has many faces. But whatever guise it assumes, this evil is to be shunned where it does not exist and crushed where it does. It is the sacred duty of this Organization to ensure that the dream of equality is finally realized for all men to whom it is still denied, to guarantee that exploitation is not reincarnated in other forms in places whence it has already been banished.
As a free Africa has emerged dunng the past decade, a fresh attack has been launched against exploitation, wherever it still exists. And in that interaction so common to history, this in turn, has stimulated and encouraged the remaining dependent peoples to renewed efforts to throw off the yoke which has oppressed them and its claim as their birthright the twin ideals of liberty and equality. This very struggle is a struggle to establish peace, and until victory is assured, that brotherhood and understanding which nourish and give life to peace can be but partial and incomplete.
In the United States of America, the administration of President Kennedy is leading a vigorous attack to eradicate the remaining vestige of racial discrimination from this country. We know that this conflict will be won and that right will triumph. In this time of trial, these efforts should be encouraged and assisted, and we should lend our sympathy and support to the American Government today.
Last May, in Addis Ababa, I convened a meeting of Heads of African States and Governments. In three days, the thirty-two nations represented at that Conference demonstrated to the world that when the will and the determination exist, nations and peoples of diverse backgrounds can and will work together. in unity, to the achievement of common goals and the assurance of that equality and brotherhood which we desire.
On the question of racial discrimination, the Addis Ababa Conference taught, to those who will learn, this further lesson: That until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned: That until there are no longer first-class and second class citizens of any nation; That until the colour of a man's skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes; That until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race; That until that day, the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion, to be pursued but never attained; And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes that hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique and in South Afnca in subhuman bondage have been toppled and destroyed; Until bigotry and prejudice and malicious and inhuman self-interest have been replaced by understanding and tolerance and good-will; Until all Africans stand and speak as free beings, equal in the eyes of all men, as they are in the eyes of Heaven; Until that day, the African continent will not know peace. We Africans will fight, if necessary, and we know that we shall win, as we are confident in the victory of good over evil.
The United Nations has done much, both directly and indirectly to speed the disappearance of discrimination and oppression from the earth. Without the opportunity to focus world opinion on Afnca and Asia which this Organization provides, the goal, for many, might still lie ahead, and the struggle would have taken far longer. For this, we are truly grateful.
But more can be done. The basis of racial discrimination and colonialism has been economic, and it is with economic weapons that these evils have been and can be overcome. In pursuance of resolutions adopted at the Addis Ababa Summit Conference, African States have undertaken certain measures in the economic field which, if adopted by all member states of the United Nations, would soon reduce intransigence to reason. I ask, today, for adherence to these measures by every nation represented here which is truly devoted to the principles enunciated in the Charter.
I do not believe that Portugal and South Africa are prepared to commit economic or physical suicide if honourable and reasonable alternatives exist. I believe that such alternatives can be found. But I also know that unless peaceful solutions are devised, counsels of moderation and temperance will avail for naught; and another blow will have been dealt to this Organization which will hamper and weaken still further its usefulness in the struggle to ensure the victory of peace and liberty over the forces of strife and oppression. Here, then, is the opportunity presented to us. We must act while we can, while the occasion exists to exert those legitimate pressures available to us, lest time run out and resort be had to less happy means.
