ROYAL RASTAFARI FAMILY
PINNACLE- UPDATE
Greetings:
June 16th, 2009 we'll celebrate the Earth Strong (birthday) of the Founding
Father of the Rastafarian Movement, Dr. Leonard Percival Howell at Pinnacle
Groundation Site in Sligoville, St. Catherine. A press conference will be held
that day to bring awareness to private and public sectors in Jamaica and abroad.
June 25th, 2009 at noon in the Spanish Town Magistrate's Court the case with the
St. Jago Hills Developers continues. Together, we will win as we protect the
unity and promote the harmony.
In April 2009, Jamaica National Heritage Trust drafted a declaration for
Pinnacle Site to be a National Monument, "Heritage Site."
Is this progress??? Some might say it is and some will say it is not.
I n I would like to think that it is progress.
WE ARE NOT WHERE WE WANT TO BE BUT
WE ARE NOT WHERE WE USED TO BE
Give thanks to the Almighty Creator, the omnipotent, supreme one, my ancestors
and all my Action Jackson brothers and Sisters who had a part to play behind and
on the scene to make this a reality.
It is amazing, when we put our gifts/talents together we'll all benefit for our
good. I pray that we can work and focus on the goals ahead with conviction,
respectability and continuity for the common good of our children children
children.

Dejazmach Zewde Gabre-Sellassie was born on October 14, 1927 to
Dejazmach Gabre-Sellassie Barya and Weizero (later Princess) Wolete
Israel Seyoum in the town of Geldu in the district of Mecha, Ethiopia.
His father's death when he was just three years old was a turning
point. After the marriage of his mother to Crown Prince Asfa Wossen in
May 1932, he joined his mother and travelled to Desse, the capital
city of Wollo. Although only five years old, according to the old
custom befitting his status, he was required to keep his own household
and act as a figure-head to the thirty of more men of his father's
attendants and members of his household who had accompanied him to
Desse. He recalls how he visited his mother and step-father every
Sunday.
In May 1936, he joined his mother and the Imperial family and boarded
a train on their way to exile. They arrived in Jerusalem and there, he
resumed his studies. During this time, the Ethiopian community in
Jerusalem had become large due to the war in Ethiopia. The young Zewde
was to encouter many influential statesmen and historical figures at
very close proximity. He recalls that he would regularly act as a
messenger boy, and buy the Jerusalem Post and translate to them in
Amharic. And that he would often sit and listen to hear their most
interesting accounts of their past experiences since the days of
Menelik. This experience if seems, would instill in him a deep
appreciation for history and afford him the extraordinary opportunity
to develop his mind. This unique experience, it can be argued, became
the most defining aspect of his formative years. It is no wonder that
Dejazmach Zewde would go on to become an esteemed Scholar of history
and one of the most distinguished statesmen of his time.
He accompanied his mother to Cairo, Egypt for a brief time and after
World War II broke out in 1945 they returned to Jerusalem. At the time
of the liberation of Ethiopia in 1941, at the age of fourteen, Zewde
was given the (hereditary) title and rank of Dejazmach. He was with
his grandfather Ras Seyoum who had commanded an army against the
Italians in Soqota, Korem and Amba Alagie in Tigre region. In 1945 -
53 he attended Oxford University and obtained his undergraduate degree
from the deparment of Philosophy and Economics, and later 1963 - 71,
he received his Doctoral degree in History.
He was married to Woezerit Alem Tsehay Araya on May 7, 1961. The
timing of his wedding was overshadowed by events that had occured five
month earlier. His grandfather, Ras Seyoum Mengesha was one of the
vicims of the massacre that resulted from the abortive coup in
December 1960. The newly weds soon left for England. During the eight
years stay there, their children Ezana, Debritu and Elizabeth were
born.
Dejazmach Zewde served numerous positions within the Imperial
Government of Ethiopia beginning in 1953 until 1961 and from 1971 to
1974. At the time of the Military revolution in 1974, he was appointed
as the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs. He left
Ethiopia on September 4, 1974 to attend the annual United Nations
General Assembly, two months later the massacre of the sixty cabinet
members of the Imperial government too place. Dejazmach Zewde made a
public condemnation of this action and went into exile in the West. He
remained in exile for the following seventeen years.
He returned to Ethiopia soon after the down-fall of the military
dictatorship in 1991. Addis Ababa became his permanent residence and
for the past eighteen years, he was engaged in research and writing.
He is the author of numerous books among them, Yohannes IV, a
political Biography. Dejazmach Zewde frequenty accepted speaking
engagments at various venus and remained very active until the very
end. This extraordinary Ethiopian signifies the ending of an era. He
is survived by his wife, two daughters, a granddaughter, neices,
nephews and countless family members whose life he has touched most
profoundly.

RECLAIM PINNACLE
THE HIGHEST HEIGHT OF RASTAFARIAN HERITAGE, CULTURE, AND HISTORY
WHY SHOULD WE RECLAIM PINNACLE?
By Sista Katherine Howell www.lphfoundation.org
Pinnacle is the aftermath of slavery, emancipation and the start of
our culture as a nation. Pinnacle is where the movement was founded
and where the movement embodies the values of self-determination,
self-esteem, co-operative sufficiency, economical empowerment,
collective and united fraternal love in spirit, pride, integrity and
knowledge of self and history. Pinnacle is the prime example of our
ancient African villages and communities which were self-reliant but
was destroyed by a civilization that was vicious, crafty, and
dishonest, corrupt, filled with hate, discrimination, serration and
bigotry.
WHY PINNACLE SHOULD BECOME A HERITAGE SITE
Pinnacle contains the most important and significant natural habitats
of biological and traditional human settlement and is now threatened
by the St. Jago Hills Developer which would afford monetary gain to a
few as they perpetuate craftiness and greed against the Nation of
Rastafari. (Who they are suing for a very small portion of land to be
a heritage site) Pinnacle has an outstanding universal value from the
point of science, Rastafarian Movement cultural and tradition.
Pinnacle is where the rapture started to divide and conquer by the
colonial system. Pinnacle is the 1st free-slave village that was
self-sufficient, financially self sustaining, united and spiritual
empowered community in Jamaica, taught both public and private sectors
the one love philosophy. Today, violence and hatred are widespread in
many parts of the world. In Western Europe, America and many parts of
the world you see examples of anti-Semitism even after the end of the
Jewish Holocaust, the enslavement of Africans to the west and the
Caribbean , the exploitation of Indians, Chinese, and many people of
other nationalities have suffered and died under colonial ruling.
Even today genocide remains a reality.
Join now and support the Leonard Howell Foundation and its ongoing
court battle to reclaim Pinnacle as a Rastafarian heritage site. Next
court date is Monday November 24th at 9am. Hearings held at Spanish
Town Magistrate's Court, St. Catherine Jamaica.
The Global consciousness of the nation of Rastafari has the same human
rights to a sacred site as other indigenous people whose heritage is
sacrosanct and who have been granted land that is linked to their
rising rituals and historical roots. It's important for the historical
property (Pinnacle) be recognized as a UNESCO world Heritage Site
(Including a International Rastafarian Worship and Research Center,
Black Studies Library, Rasta Training Craft Center, Holistic Health
Center, and in tribute to Leonard Percival Howell a monument as a
National Hero who fought to Liberate Black People.
In the future, when the survivors and witnesses are no longer with us,
it will be people of our generation and younger who must keep the fire
of remembrance burning. Together we must work to ensure that future
generations learn from the past history of our ancestors, so never
again will it repeat itself.
PRESIDENT ELECT BARACK OBAMA
Rosa sat so Martin can walk…Martin walked so Obama could run…Obama ran
so our children CAN FLY!!! Prophecy must be fulfilled!!!!
There is an old African proverb which goes this way,
"If we stand tall it is because we stand on the shoulders of many
ancestors."

Blessed Love,
Besides
education, economic empowerment is one of the keys to the African people’s upliftment.It is time that we reconsidered our approaches which will better equip us for economic growth.The truth is that we have not as yet truly grasped the tremendous potential in terms of economic empowerment that is available to us on the Motherland. We tend to spend too much time being influenced in the West by the outpour of negative images flashed across our TV screens and the psychological grip that keeps us caught in the web of blaming the system for all our ills.The cultural and historical ties, the love and affection that exist amongst “Jamaicans” (as we are invariable called thanks to Bob Marley-Africans in the Diaspora) and Africans on the Continent is truly under estimated in terms of economic power.Through my work and experience gained in Africa spanning some 25 years, I am convinced that should we direct more of our energy in developing businesses on the Continent, we would get much closer to realizing our goals. We would be in a position to give our children much better hope for the future and equip them with the power and the tools to make a success in life without going through the traumas of growing up in the West.It is important however, that we (Africans in the Diaspora) work together to overcome some of the many pitfalls that exist in doing business in Africa.The tremendous opportunities that exist however may be lost to other entrepreneurs who have no love or sentiments for Pan-African ideals.To begin we need to build a team of individuals financially
equipped and willing to work together to secure start up capital to establish these businesses. There is great need for businesses in the educational, medical, agricultural and industrial sectors. Initially, we could establish a chain of take-aways across the continent for example. We do not have to reinvent the wheel here and our cuisine is African based! The time is conducive as the unifying message of reggae music has spread throughout the Continent and prepared the ground.The youth of Africa in particular are ready and willing to work with Africans in the Diaspora to develop the Continent.Over the years, I have traveled to some 15 African countries covering North, South, East and West and have developed a network of contacts that would be happy to work with us. Truly Africa awaits its creation and its creators.Give it due and serious consideration.
Respectfully your brother.

BLACK MAN'S HERITAGE OF SELF RELIANCE - PINNACLE
Pinnacle is located in Sligoville, St Catherine, Jamaica. It
consist of over 500 acres of Land.( Part of which
over look Kingston/St Andrew)
In the late 1930's Howell took over
ownership/occupancy from
previous owner Mr. Albert Chang, who he had to pay in
CASH, in
order to occupy same. Howell was financial
resourceful and independent . He didn't use money for
personal fulfillment but instead he led a humble life
in Pinnacle committed to his race .
During the late 1930's the famous `uprising' took
place in St. Thomas, Jamaica, many ex-slaves, suffered
racism, oppressions,
inadequate living conditions and hunger. Pinnacle
became the safe-haven for thousands of blacks who
desired to live and work communally in Unity. Under
Howell's leadership, Pinnacle was transformed in one
of the larger self-reliant/economically empowered
communities. Several farmers lived and worked in
Pinnacle, producing a variety of fruits, vegetables,
beans, peas, yams, banana, cassava, corn, coconut and
many other products. Ganja a culture adapted from East
Indians (River Ganges) was grown mainly for spiritual
mediation, worshiping and medicine.
The Rastafarian at Pinnacle, built a food storage for
what was called, "preparing for the tough days". Many
skilled craftsmen And women, nurses and other
professionals shared their faith and lived there under
the motto " One God, One Aim and One Destiny"
Between 1941 and 1957, Pinnacle was raided several
times. Each time the authorities would take away
cash money banked in the community that added up to
thousand of dollars under the claim that it was money
earned from selling Ganja. Howell detested the
exploitation of the Herb "Ganja" and he was reputed
for walking the streets of Kingston, St Andrew, St.
Catherine and others parishes giving money to the poor
and children. He didn't give-in to the harassment,
beatings, numerous arrests and incarcerations. He went
back to live in Pinnacle upon his release from prison.
During the last raid on Pinnacle, the police burned
to the ground homes belonging to thousands of
Rastafarians.Included in the fire were furnishings, personal items and
clothing . Having no place to live and their leader in
Jail, most Rastafarians relocated throughout Kingston,
St. Catherine, Clarendon, and St Thomas. That was the
beginning of Rastafari dispersion and relocation in
groups of churches and mansions.
In the 1970's a small flock of Rastafarian elders took
refuge in Tredegar Park, St. Catherine and continued
to support the teachings of Howell until his death in
1981. Until today, the Rastafarian of Pinnacle were
never, compensated for their loss of property, homes,
lives and humiliation suffered. It is said that Howell
had been arrested, incarcerated and was sent to
Jamaica Mental Institution over (50) fifty times.
At one meeting, Howell was noted as having said that
Mr. Neville N. Ashenheim, a prominent Lawyer of Jewish
background, argued for the Bill of Rights in terms of
protecting property rights and that property can't be
confiscated without adequate compensation.
"At Emancipation the planter were adequately
compensated for Freeing the Slaves, but, I Leonard
Howell was never compensated for Pinnacle and the
crimes committed against me and the Rastafarian
people."
During the 1980's Jamaica government sold off most of
this land at Pinnacle to foreign and private
investors.
Pinnacle is now sub-divided and being sold off by
"The St Jago Hills Development Ltd" Located
at 20 Hope Rd, Kingston Jamaica. WI. - They have got hold of
Pinnacle Estates ( First Rastafarian Free Slave
Community) St Catherine. Selling/Sub-dividing- the
land (over 500 acres) Last Nov. 2006 "The Leonard
Howell Foundation" and other personnel (collective) had
a meeting with the then Prime Minister to help restore
Pinnacle and make it a Rastafari Cultural Center. In addition -
Last June- Howell Earth-day celebration was held in
Pinnacle.
The developers (Ms. Lois Sherwood and her Brother-
directors of St Jago Hills) are now suing " The
Rastafarian - Nation - 1st Order of the Nyahbinghi
Theoracy, Leonard Howell Foundation, Ras Lion and Ras
Howie for possession of the Pinnacle Site and Land.
The Law Firm of "Nunes, Scholefield, DeLeon and Co"
are having a hearing on November 27th 2007 in The
Magistrate's Court in Spanish Town.

Selamta,
Could anyone here possibly shed some light on a debate some of us are
having in another group, over the question of whether or not either
His Majesty Haile Selassie I and/or Her Majesty Itege Menen ever had
children by anyone else?
This is a claim that seems to crop up now and again, but the sources
always seem murky and dubious, and I have not seen anything in an
official source.
I am not talking about those attention seekers who claim to be
illegitimate childran of HIM, these are easily dismissed.
I am talking about the claims that both their Majesties had begotten
children by other mortal human spouses BEFORE they married one another
at age 20.
I am taking the position that this is impossible because their
Majesties could never do such a thing and still have a Crown Church
Marriage, as well as the theological argument that these two have been
the faithful King and Queen of Creation since the beginning of time,
and thus could not possibly bestow such 'favors' on ordinary humans.
The best thing those who are arguing the other side, have come up with
so far, is this acount, addressed by a historian to Her Majesty Itege
Menen on Her 67th Birthday:
http://rastaites.com/HIM/menen.htm
Note that on page 3, he states that he is not sure about the accuracy
of the biography he writes of Her for the years prior to 1924 AD.
However, on page 1, he seems to claim that in 1900 AD (i.e. at the age
of nine) she "legally" married an unnamed person, and became the
mother of four children, whom he does name.
How can this be? I have no problem believing that she was betrothed
to Ras Lul Seged as a child, so maybe were these four his previous
children that she then legally adopted? But otherwise this claim that
at age 9 she gave birth to four children seems preposterous. The
sources claimed in the Wikipedia article seem equally dubious.
I also have no problem believing that the Royal couple could have
adopted a certain Princess Romaneworq as their own and given her the
title of princess. But no way could she have been the "biological"
child of just one of them. I honestly mean no disrespect or insult to
any of the people involved, but my logic tells me these things are
impossible, and they do not seem to have good sources.
Additionally, I have had an acquaintance who is related to the Royal
Family, being himself a descendant of Sahle Selassie. When I last saw
him in 1995, he assured me not to believe such stories and that
neither of their Majesties ever had another 'partner', and their
fleshly persons were quite celibate before and after the time of their
earthly marriage to one another.

It's not like we really needed one more reason to avoid McDonald's restaurant like the plague, anyway...
But last week, I made the mistake of stopping in there for a happy meal for my 5 year old daughter. Everywhere, they are promoting these witch dolls for kids her age group to play with.
These witch dolls are not ugly Halloween witches with green skin, brooms and crooked hats, what my daughter thinks of as a "witch". They are carefully
produced and calculated to look appealing, glamourous and attractive to a five year old, but with "in your face" expressions of smirking defiance, even a little butch looking. They carry occult symbols on their shields; one of them even has an upside down, pinkish-red triangle. Now, we cannot turn on the TV without seeing this "new" religion that Ronald McDonalds is preaching to our five year olds.
Any people who believe in the True God and follow His Word in the Bible should not set foot anywhere near a McDonalds. Especially since we are clearly getting into the Tribulation. I am calling for a FULL BOYCOTT of McDonalds food indefinitely until they renounce this perversion. They do not deserve one penny of support from anyone who believes in the True God and follows His Word in the Bible. If I really need a fast food, I will go to Burger King or Taco Bell. Please e-mail this now to
as many God fearing people as you possibly can. Let's make McDonalds board of corporate supervisors elite know that it just does not pay to be deliberately offensive to the public.
