Just the other day, the Babylon Observer reported on the arrest of Buju Banton
and reported about it. It didn't take too long before a comment was placed on
the Dubroom weblog from a "gay rights activist" who basically
defended the arrest because of Buju's remarks about homosexuality and a tune he
did when he was a teenager. The comment ended with the words:
*If* buju is convicted, it will turn out that the gays were right all
along...HE is buju. (LINK)
Even though it would give these "gay rights activists" too much
credit for being responsible of Buju's arrest, it is obvious that they are useful
idiots, used by the very same powers that trapped Buju Banton.
Just before all of this happened, Buju had been once again the target of the
"gay rights activists" who did their best to threaten venues hosting
Buju's US promotional tour for his "Rasta Got Soul" album. After
having met with certain representants of these "activists", people
were pepper-sprayed on Buju's concerts. He tells all about it in "The
Cutting Edge", a radio program from Mutabaruka (MP3).
So much for the "gay rights activists".
Fortunately, another comment on the very same article on the Dubroom Weblog
provided more information about the powers that trapped Buju. The webmaster of
the www.dancehall.mobi
website placed a link to a police document in which these police people claim
to tell the story about the involvement of Buju Banton in a "conspiracy to
posses with intention to distribute more than five kilograms of
cocaine".
The document, which is reprinted on the Dubroom in JPG
and PDF
formats and in this article, reads like a conspiracy allright, but even though
Buju Banton himself is mentioned only one time and it's clear that even in the
very unlikely case that things happened the way they are described in the
document, Buju Banton himself was more the victim of people around him. People
who can be assumed were all police officials or the ones they wanted in jail
because of the usual Babylonian reasons.
In the meantime, Buju Banton himself is said to maintain his sanity as he is
locked up in a US prison, trying to help his fellow Jamaicans who often do not
even have a lawyer to represent them. His label communicates to the people of
the world that Buju denies the charges with all of his strength and is
confident of his victory.
