    La Ceiba on the Gulf of Honduras

    Today I was invited to La Ceiba, to work on a project in a modern city growing in Honduras, where locals and Expats are developing the community of the future. The plan is to construct a new hospital to provide health care services and improve the benefits for workers of luxury eco-resorts. (NOTE: new hospital project information will be posted here, as I get it).

    Partial view of La Ceiba waterfront in the 1910s. The sender of this real photo postcard, possibly an American missionary, describes the white building behind the boat’s mast as “our church” and the large building at the left as the barracks and prison.The wireless station and tower to the right of the water tower belonged to “an American banana company”, most likely the company that became the Standard Fruit Co. and whose operations were headquartered in La Ceiba.

    La Ceiba was officially founded on 23 August 1877. The city was named after a giant ceiba tree that grew near the old dock. The city has been officially proclaimed the “Eco-Tourism Capital of Honduras,” as well as the “Entertainment Capital of Honduras”. Every year, on the third or fourth Saturday of May, the city holds its famous carnival to commemorate Isidore the Laborer (Spanish San Isidro Labrador). During this time, the city is host to approximately 500,000 tourists.

    Official seal of La Ceiba

    In 1872 Manuel Hernández built a small shack under the Ceiba tree that grew near the old docks. Over time, more and more people from present-day Honduras (especially the departments of Olancho and Santa Barbara), and from around the world settled in La Ceiba. Workers were attracted to jobs associated with the banana industry, which became important to the regional economy.

    In the late 19th century, the banana business caught the attention of big North American banana companies, such as the Vaccaro Brothers’ Standard Fruit Company from New Orleans. This new economic activity attracted national and international immigrantworkers to La Ceiba. The current neighbourhood known as Barrio Inglés was the first recognised neighbourhood in the city. It was so named after the many English-speaking people living in the barrio. At that point the main thoroughfare of La Ceiba was present-day Avenida La Republica, where the train tracks were laid. The rail line was built by the Standard Fruit Company (now Standard Fruit de Honduras, a Dole subsidiary) for transport of its commodity to ships at the port from the banana plantations. This company was largely responsible for the early growth of the city.

    La Ceiba was declared a municipality on 23 August 1877. At that time Marco Aurelio Soto was President of Honduras. La Ceiba was the centre of banana and pineapple business, the basis of its economy. Other companies developed in the city, such as:

    • Cervecería Hondureña, the national brewing company and holder of the Coca-Cola licence in Honduras. Founded in 1918.
    • Fábrica de Manteca y Jabón Atlántida, known as La Blanquita, at one point, this was the largest producer of consumer goods in Honduras; it is now defunct.
    • Banco Atlántida, oldest Bank in the country, founded in 1913.
    • Mazapan School, the first bilingual school of the nation, the oldest high school and second oldest elementary school in the city.

    The first municipal building or city hall was located in the corner of 2da Calle and Avenida Atlántida, at the site of the present-day Ferretería Kawas warehouse. The building was made of wood and in 1903 it was burnt down due to vandalism. Some people wanted to destroy private property ownership records in La Ceiba. The municipal building was set on fire again on 7 March 1914 during more social unrest.

    The Municipal Corporation moved the offices further south of the city. They were burned again during unrest in 1924. Soon after this, the office building was constructed at its current location, on land donated by Manuel Mejía.

  • The Seerers of Mount Kenya and the Ark of the Covenant

    The Seerers of Mount Kenya and the Ark of the Covenant

    The central peaks of Mount Kenya are volcanic plugs that have resisted glacial erosion. (Left to right: Point Thompson (4955m), Batian (5199m) and Nelion (5188m))

    God called me out because I asked about the Ark of the Covenant, then people were drawn towards my message from Bob Marley, to lead me on this journey towards the promised land. Today I learned that the most important parts of the Ark of the Covenant are protected inside Mount Kenya by the Seerers of Mount Kenya.

    The entire country of Kenya is named after this most amazing mountain which some say is the real Mount Zion mentioned in Zephaniah 3

    In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.

    Zephaniah 3:11

    Mount Kenya is the Holy Mountain of God and that is where the most important tablets are hidden and protected.

    There’s a Prince working for Peace, please learn about Saint Michael received this letter in 2016, inviting him to Mt. Kenya Ambassadorship.

    The great beacon of light on this topic is

    Mount Kenya is the highest mountain in Kenya and the second-highest in Africa, after Kilimanjaro. The highest peaks of the mountain are Batian (5,199 metres or 17,057 feet), Nelion (5,188 m or 17,021 ft) and Point Lenana (4,985 m or 16,355 ft).

    Mount Kenya is located in the former Eastern and Central provinces of Kenya, now MeruEmbuLaikipiaKirinyagaNyeri and Tharaka Nithi counties, about 16.5 kilometres (10 14 miles) south of the equator, around 150 km (90 mi) north-northeast of the capital Nairobi. Mount Kenya is the source of the name of the Republic of Kenya.

    Mount Kenya is a stratovolcano created approximately 3 million years after the opening of the East African Rift. Before glaciation, it was 7,000 m (23,000 ft) high. It was covered by an ice cap for thousands of years. This has resulted in very eroded slopes and numerous valleys radiating from the centre. There are currently 11 small glaciers, which are shrinking rapidly, and may be gone forever by 2050. The forested slopes are an important source of water for much of Kenya.

    There are several vegetation bands from the base to the summit. The lower slopes are covered by different types of forest. Many alpine species are endemic to Mount Kenya, such as the giant lobelias and senecios and a local subspecies of rock hyrax. An area of 715 km2 (276 sq mi) around the centre of the mountain was designated a National Park and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. The park receives over 16,000 visitors per year. – Wikipedia – Mount Kenya

  • The Syilx People of the Okanagan Nation

    Syilx Chief, Charlie Swkn̓cut

    Kelowna sits on the traditional, unceded territory of the Syilx/Okanagan people. This sculpture of historic Syilx Chief, Charlie Swkn̓cut, created by Crystal Przybille, features details signifying various aspects of Syilx culture.

    Kelowna, BC

    At the height of Syilx culture, about 3000 years ago, it is estimated that 12,000 people lived in this valley and surrounding areas. The Okanagan people employed an adaptive strategy, moving within traditional areas throughout the year to fish, hunt, or collect food, while in the winter months, they lived in semi-permanent villages of kekulis, a type of pithouse.

    When the Oregon Treaty partitioned the Pacific Northwest in 1846, the portion of the tribe remaining in what became Washington Territory reorganized under Chief Tonasket as a separate group from the majority of the Okanagan, whose communities remain in Canada. The Okanagan Tribal Alliance, however, incorporates the American branch of the Okanagan. The latter are part of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville, a multi-tribal government in Washington state.

    The bounds of Okanagan territory are roughly the basin of Okanagan Lake and the Okanagan River, plus the basin of the Similkameen River to the west of the Okanagan valley, and some of the uppermost valley of the Nicola River. The various Okanagan communities in British Columbia and Washington form the Okanagan Nation Alliance, a border-spanning organization which includes American-side Okanogans resident in the Colville Indian Reservation, where the Okanagan people are sometimes known as Colvilles.

    The today Upper Nicola Indian Band, an Okanagan group of the Nicola Valley, which was at the northwestern perimeter of Okanagan territory, are known in their dialect as the Spaxomin, and are joint members in a historic alliance with neighbouring communities of the Nlaka’pamux in the region known as the Nicola Country, which is named after the 19th-century chief who founded the alliance, Nicola. This alliance today is manifested in the Nicola Tribal Association.

    The Syilx People of the Okanagan Nation are a trans-boundary tribe separated at the 49th parallel by the border between Canada and the United States. Our Nation is comprised of seven member communities in the Southern Interior of British Columbia: Okanagan Indian Band, Osoyoos Indian Band, Penticton Indian Band, Upper Nicola Band, Upper and Lower Similkameen Indian Bands, and Westbank First Nation; and in Northern Washington State, the Colville Confederated Tribes. Our members share the same land, nsyilxcən language, culture, and customs. We are a distinct and sovereign Nation.

    Today the Syilx/Okanagan People continue to assert their jurisdiction and responsibility over the stewarding of their land, resources and quality of life of their citizens. Our nsyilxcən language and our Syilx/Okanagan culture respectfully honour the natural laws of the tmixw that which gives us life.

  • Cabbage Soup Diet Recipe

    Cabbage Soup Diet Recipe

    Every year about this time (after Christmas holidays) I go searching online for the Cabbage Soup Diet Recipe. This year it’s not to lose weight but rather to cleanse my body, as I did indulge in anything delicious offered over the month of December and now it’s time for a cleanse.

Tastes horrible (drops under the tongue) but works great and helps your immune system by purging parasites that lives in our body, then when new foreign food and water is introduced overseas, your body has no old parasites reacting to cause your immune system to kick in to high gear.

    New Year resolution for me, is to eat more types of vegetables

    Now that I reduced meat and poultry, it’s replaced with fruit and I feel very lucky to love fruit and have access to excellent selection of premium quality fruit. Compared to meat and poultry the costs is a savings, so the only problem is eating all fruit and vegetables before the wilt.

  • Bavarian Motor Works BMW X6

    Bavarian Motor Works BMW X6

    European design has always captured our collective imaginations and there was a time when “sports” car referred to European brands like Audi, Austin Martin, Bavarian Motor Works (BMW), Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes Benz, MGB and the iconic Porshe.

    Cars was added recently to this blog and since then only American models have been posted to date, so I decided to feature arguably the finest automaker and one of the worlds greatest car maker – BMW –

    Bavarian Motor Works

    BMW Headquarters

    BMW dates back to 1913, when the original company to use the name was founded by Karl Rapp (initially as Rapp Motorenwerke GmbH). BMW’s first product was a straight-six aircraft engine called the BMW IIIa. Following the end of World War I, BMW remained in business by producing motorcycle engines, farm equipment, household items and railway brakes. The company produced its first motorcycle, the BMW R 32 in 1923.

    BMW became an automobile manufacturer in 1928 when it purchased Fahrzeugfabrik Eisenach, which, at the time, built Austin Sevens under licence under the Dixi marque. The first car sold as a BMW was a rebadged Dixi called the BMW 3/15, following BMW’s acquisition of the car manufacturer Automobilwerk Eisenach. Throughout the 1930s, BMW expanded its range into sports cars and larger luxury cars.

    2017 M6 GT3 Art Car by Cao Fei

    Aircraft engines, motorcycles, and automobiles would be BMW’s main products until World War II. During the war, against the wishes of its director Franz Josef Popp, BMW concentrated on aircraft engine production using forced labor consisting primarily of prisoners from concentration camps, with motorcycles as a side line and automobile manufacture ceased altogether.

    BMW’s factories were heavily bombed during the war and its remaining West German facilities were banned from producing motor vehicles or aircraft after the war. Again, the company survived by making pots, pans, and bicycles. In 1948, BMW restarted motorcycle production. BMW resumed car production in Bavaria in 1952 with the BMW 501 luxury saloon.

    The range of cars was expanded in 1955, through the production of the cheaper Isetta microcar under licence. Slow sales of luxury cars and small profit margins from microcars meant BMW was in serious financial trouble and in 1959 the company was nearly taken over by rival Daimler-Benz. A large investment in BMW by Herbert Quandt and Harald Quandt resulted in the company surviving as a separate entity. The BMW 700 was successful and assisted in the company’s recovery.

    The 1962 introduction of the BMW New Class compact sedans was the beginning of BMW’s reputation as a leading manufacturer of sport-oriented cars. Throughout the 1960s, BMW expanded its range by adding coupe and luxury sedan models. The BMW 5 Series mid-size sedan range was introduced in 1972, followed by the BMW 3 Series compact sedans in 1975, the BMW 6 Series luxury coupes in 1976 and the BMW 7 Series large luxury sedans in 1978.

    The BMW M division released its first road car, a mid-engine supercar, in 1978. This was followed by the BMW M5 in 1984 and the BMW M3 in 1986. Also in 1986, BMW introduced its first V12 engine in the 750i luxury sedan.

    The company purchased the Rover Group in 1994, however the takeover was not successful and was causing BMW large financial losses. In 2000, BMW sold off most of the Rover brands, retaining only the Mini brand.

    In 1998, BMW also acquired the rights to the Rolls Royce brand from Vickers Plc.

    The 1995 BMW Z3 expanded the line-up to include a mass-production two-seat roadster and the 1999 BMW X5 was the company’s entry into the SUV market.

    The first modern mass-produced turbocharged petrol engine was introduced in 2006, (from 1973 to 1975, BMW built 1672 units of a turbocharged M10 engine for the BMW 2002 turbo), with most engines switching over to turbocharging over the 2010s. The first hybrid BMW was the 2010 BMW ActiveHybrid 7, and BMW’s first mass-production electric car was the BMW i3 city car, which was released in 2013, (from 1968 to 1972, BMW built two battery-electric BMW 1602 Elektro saloons for the 1972 Olympic Games). After many years of establishing a reputation for sporting rear-wheel drive cars, BMW’s first front-wheel drive car was the 2014 BMW 2 Series Active Tourer multi-purpose vehicle (MPV).

    Deus ex Machina of the Greatest Show on Earth

    As a devoted QAnon follower and hardcore Digital Soldier for Trump, I was totally impressed with the attorney Lin Wood when he appeared on the scene. So that you know, in case you don’t, there is no single person behind Q and when we achieved the primary objective it was “Game Over”.

    After November 3rd 2020 landslide election victory for Trump there was no further need of Q (at this time). Plus, the corrupt politicians and deep state actors were planning to attack QAnon supporters, so we dissipated as that’s the nature of an insurgency.

    Yes, we used an insurgency to defeat an insurgency, now we enter the “Mop-up phase” of the operation. Now comes the hard work of cleaning up the mess left behind by the draining of the swamp. It’s easily a 4 year task to root out the turncoats but the evidence trail is now paved with names and deeds. There will be more surprises and holdouts discovered, as that’s the nature of sinking ships, some rats will wait until there’s no other option.

    QAnon Digital Soldiers adopt the creed of the Navy Seals

    Lin Wood is easy for me to admire, not just because he’s a man of God but also because of his conviction to truth. He doesn’t need permission from sheep, since he’s a lion and will do whatever he decides to do. Lin Wood knows where he’s been, knows where he’s going. This resolve is the mindset that will lead us out of Babylon. Follow Lin Wood here.

    Lin Wood inspires other lions and could care less about asking the sheep for permission to defend the flock.

    For far too long the notion of “political correctness” has subdued the truth that needed to be said. In many cases the revulsion to sex crimes against children and other horrific acts of sinister malfeasance has gone unchecked out of fear for speaking truth against evil. Lin Wood shows us to drop the fear and face the facts; we have a huge problem to clean up.

    Lin Wood Deus ex Machina

    Asking for a friend; what is a Deus ex Machina?

    Lin Wood

    Deus ex machina; plural: dei ex machina; English ‘god from the machine’ is a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem in a story is suddenly and abruptly resolved by an unexpected and unlikely occurrence. Its function can be to resolve an otherwise irresolvable plot situation, to surprise the audience, to bring the tale to a happy ending, or act as a comedic device.

  • Peace, Love, Reggae and the War for Your Mind

    Peace, Love, Reggae and the War for Your Mind

    Peace, Love, Reggae is where I take refuge from the war that is raging for our mind. We are living in dangerous times and many people can’t see the social engineering for what it is (evil) and become brainwashed by mainstream news media. There’s a war on for your mind.

    ‘In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.’

    George Orwell

    George Orwell was a fake name, here’s what Wikipedia says about the author of the prescient book called “1984” and so much more;

    Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950), known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic. His work is characterised by lucid prose, biting social criticism, opposition to totalitarianism, and outspoken support of democratic socialism.

    As a writer, Orwell produced literary criticism and poetry, fiction and polemical journalism; and is best known for the allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945) and the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). His non-fiction works, including The Road to Wigan Pier (1937), documenting his experience of working-class life in the north of England, and Homage to Catalonia (1938), an account of his experiences soldiering for the Republican faction of the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), are as critically respected as his essays on politics and literature, language and culture. In 2008, The Times ranked George Orwell second among “The 50 greatest British writers since 1945”.

    Orwell’s work remains influential in popular culture and in political culture, and the adjective “Orwellian”—describing totalitarian and authoritarian social practices—is part of the English language, like many of his neologisms, such as “Big Brother”, “Thought Police”, “Two Minutes Hate”, “Room 101”, “memory hole”, “Newspeak”, “doublethink”, “proles”, “unperson”, and “thoughtcrime”.

    The Pandemic of 2020 could have been a chapter in 1984, which was first published in 1949 but describes social engineering at it’s utmost evil best, or worst, however you prefer to classify. In the modern day “Internet of Everything” world we now live in, life seemed fine until the PLAN was launched by the Deep State cabal of Globalist over-lords.

    In our dystopian world of 2021, which is coincidentally the same year that a now famous Mel Gibson portrayed the anarchy of the movie “Mad Max” but in our present day situation the villains are a massive, unified global organization of duly elected officials, controlled by a cadre of powerful billionaires and so-called philanthropists. The UN/World Economic Forum (Davos crowd-gang) are intent on enslaving the planet.

    According to the Davos gang the reason for our need for this New World Order is the fear of a climate crisis, we must resist them, expose the lies and defeat the socialist ideology.

    Earth climate change is in sync with the climate changes in other planets in our universe, in other words it is not “human caused climate change” it is solar system climate change. Even rings of Saturn changed and storms on Mars, as well as major changes to Venus and Jupiter, all of which scientist can chart to compare similarities to the changes on Earth.

    Human destruction of the planet is very real and very concerning, our consumption of resources is not sustainable, so the social engineers found the root word for the new war for your mind – sustainability. Like abracadabra, with a single word there could be a new slogan to save the world but who would pay for the enslavement? well… the people, through a new carbon tax system, based on fake science and arbitrary tax levies.

    It’s impossible to start with an untruth (reason for climate change) and turn it into truth by using slogans and fake science, therefore a global shock tactic was implemented called Covid19 and a HOAX Plandemic to scare the wits out of the population. Confusion abounds with information overload on every topic related to masks, lock-down, tests, ventilators, vaccines, treatments and the number of actual deaths. Cognitive dissonance now abounds and the social engineers are now losing control of all the lies.

    I decided to return to daily blogging with a new mission, to combat the false narratives with words of my own and suggestions of ideas to protect your mind from the fog of war. Roots, Rock, Reggae is the name of Bob Marley song and it gave me the idea to create a weekly video show by that name, to keep people’s spirits uplifted while we fight this old Armageddon.

  • Ludwig van Beethoven is 250 Years Old

    Ludwig van Beethoven is 250 Years Old

    Beethoven
    Beethoven

    Happy Birthday Ludwig van Beethoven

    Ludwig van Beethoven was baptized 17 December 1770 – 26 March 1827 was a German composer and pianist. Beethoven remains one of the most admired composers in the history of Western music; his works rank amongst the most performed of the classical music repertoire. His works span the transition from the classical period to the romantic era in classical music. His career has conventionally been divided into early, middle, and late periods. The “early” period, during which he forged his craft, is typically considered to have lasted until 1802. From 1802 to around 1812, his “middle” period showed an individual development from the “classical” styles of Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and is sometimes characterized as “heroic”. During this time he began to suffer increasingly from deafness. In his “late” period from 1812 to his death in 1827, he extended his innovations in musical form and expression.

    Portrait of Beethoven as a young man, c. 1800, by Carl Traugott Riedel (1769–1832)

    Born in Bonn, Beethoven’s musical talent was obvious at an early age, and he was initially harshly and intensively taught by his father Johann van Beethoven. Beethoven was later taught by the composer and conductor Christian Gottlob Neefe, under whose tutelage he published his first work, a set of keyboard variations, in 1783. He found relief from a dysfunctional home life with the family of Helene von Breuning, whose children he loved, befriended, and taught piano. At age 21, he moved to Vienna, which subsequently became his base, and studied composition with Haydn. Beethoven then gained a reputation as a virtuoso pianist, and he was soon courted by Karl Alois, Prince Lichnowsky for compositions, which resulted in his three Opus 1 piano trios (the earliest works to which he accorded an opus number) in 1795.

    His first major orchestral work, the First Symphony, appeared in 1800, and his first set of string quartets was published in 1801. During this period, his hearing began to deteriorate, but he continued to conduct, premiering his Third and Fifth Symphonies in 1804 and 1808, respectively. His Violin Concerto appeared in 1806. His last piano concerto (No. 5, Op. 73, known as the ‘Emperor’), dedicated to his frequent patron Archduke Rudolf of Austria, was premiered in 1810, but not with Beethoven as soloist. He was almost completely deaf by 1814, and he then gave up performing and appearing in public. He described his problems with health and his unfulfilled personal life in two letters, his “Heiligenstadt Testament” (1802) to his brothers and his unsent love letter to an unknown “Immortal Beloved” (1812).

    In the years from 1810, increasingly less socially involved, Beethoven composed many of his most admired works including his later symphonies and his mature chamber music and piano sonatas. His only opera, Fidelio, which had been first performed in 1805, was revised to its final version in 1814. He composed his Missa Solemnis in the years 1819–1823, and his final, Ninth, Symphony, one of the first examples of a choral symphony, in 1822–1824. Written in his last years, his late string quartets of 1825–26 are amongst his final achievements. After some months of bedridden illness, he died in 1827. Beethoven’s works remain mainstays of the classical music repertoire.

  • British Columbia in Winter

    British Columbia in Winter

    Okanagan Lake in winter

    British Columbia in winter has a magic all of it’s own, not always sunshine and rainbows but when the combination of elements and weather conditions come together a majesty unfolds and wilderness becomes art.

    There is nothing quite like the “snow crater” that forms beneath Wells Gray Provincial Park’s Helmcken Falls in the winter.

    Helmcken Falls Snow Crater

    Wells Gray Provincial Park was first established in November 1939, which means it just celebrated its 80th birthday.

    The park is home to a beautiful waterfall that flows over a wide circular cliff during the warmer months of the year. According to Tourism Wells Gray, the drop is 141 meters.

    Chasing Iconic Winter Waterfalls of Wells Gray

    Uncover the mystical places that romantics, adventurers and photographers come here to find! With 41 named waterfalls (and counting!), and even more tucked into the wilds, discover why Wells Gray is also known as the land of waterfalls.

    Ancient volcanoes and slow-moving glaciers carved the rivers and lakes that fuel the Park’s waterfalls. You’ll hear the roar of the Falls, long before you can see cascading water tumbling over lichen-drenched boulders, making its way downstream. Almost half the named Falls are found in the Corridor , mere minutes from Clearwater Valley Road.

    Canada’s Waterfall Park Welcomes you in Every Season

    The Land of 41 Named Waterfalls- and counting!

    Imagine a place where the Clearwater, Thompson and Murtle Rivers roar and wildlife sightings are as common as sunrise and sunset. A place where it’s easy to get off the beaten path, and away from the crowds, immersing yourself in real and wild nature.  The place you imagine is Wells Gray Country, the mountain communities centered around Clearwater and Wells Gray Provincial Park. 5,250 square kilometres (1.3 million acres) of alpine wilderness, borne from volcanoes and carved by glaciers. It’s one of the most unique landscapes in all of B.C., where your days are measured in your steps hiked, wildlife sightings, and the number of waterfall shots on your camera. 

    It’s here, among old-growth inland rainforest and soaring mountain peaks that you’ll find your wild. During Spring, Summer and Fall you can hike through ancient forests, paddle pristine lakes, and raft on some of Canada’s fiercest rapids. In the winter, gaze upon frozen waterfalls and ski down untouched backcountry slopes.

    Tigray Province of Ethiopia is where the Ark of the Covenant is stored in the Chapel of St Mary of Zion. A former scholar from Britain had been a professor in Ethiopia examined the remains of the fabled sacred object as a mere rustic wooden artifact, appeared to be the remains of an old box.

    Ark of the Covenant

    The Ark of the Covenant is a powerful instrument that may contain the salvation of humanity, if it were restored and re-enacted. The shear feat of cooperation it would take to recover and restore this powerful device, to it’s peak performance, requires an act of God or Bob Marley Peace.

    Financial resources sufficient to hire Graham Hancock to consult on how to recover and restore the Ark of the Covenant, plus the estimated cost for about a metric ton of pure gold. Our plan is to grow high grade lambs bread to create the wealth to bankroll the operation.

    Lambs Bread is landrace strain of cannabis from Jamaica. By definition, a landrace is a variety of cannabis that has been grown in and adapted to the environment of its native land. The unique alterations of these strains are caused by its environment and isolation from other populations of species. Names typically come from the native region to the strain.

    Landrace strains are cannabis cultivars that have never been crossed by breeders, evolving stable genetics over centuries of natural selection and long-term exposure to their home environment. Cannabis is a highly adaptable plant and as generations of mankind spread throughout the world, so too did cannabis, becoming a “native” of numerous regions in the Middle East, Africa, the Americas, and Asia.

    Where do landrace strains come from?

    Cannabis is one of the oldest crops in history. The plant was first referenced in historical documents in 2900 B.C. by the Chinese emperor Shen-Nung. Known as the Father of Chinese Medicine, Shen wrote of cannabis in his encyclopedia of plant medicines called the Pen Ts’ao. Further archaeological evidence of hemp rope imprints on broken pottery indicates cannabis was already in use during the Neolithic period in China, about 10,000 B.C. 

    Stone Town Genetics is a project with a plan to harness the economic power of cannabis by creating an African Cannabis Seed Bank, plus all the scientific genetic profiles to breed superior cannabis strains by having the control of the Lambs Bread strain by breeders rights arbitration.

    The plan is to allocate proceeds from Lambs Bread Cannabis seeds towards the cause of Bob Marley Peace and to save the Ark of the Covenant. By word of mouth marketing, we will begin to develop a global brand of cannabis for the Bob Marley Peace Seekers. We forward in this generation, triumphantly.
