Bob Marley revisited:‘Slow Murder’ was allegedly the case
Twenty days ago on this Blog, the legendary Bob Marley was the focal point of my post. He was a man who stood on the world stage with a message that was ahead of its time. The time in question bordered on the countercultural era, when messages about peace, love, unity and holding hands were considered a threat and anti- establishment.
Divide and conquer was at an all time high (still is) and an opposition to mainstream ideologies of racism, sexism and all the isms which nourished and sustained the system were intolerable. Where war was the plan, because peace is unprofitable whereas the former is a money-generating agenda for the controllers, the revolutionists called for peace and liberty. Where religious fundamentalism propagated sexual abstinence, free sex was romanticized and embraced. Where racial prejudice was the norm, integration and racial relations based on mutual respect was the outcry.
Political activists like the clerical Martin Luther King, Jnr. and his radical separatist contemporary, Malcolm X were murdered. Musicians who lyrically rebelled against the status quo were either murdered like John Lennon or placed under surveillance like Nina Simone who literally became nomadic following her political songs like “Mississippi Goddam”.
As Marley’s music diffused into the United States, he became a target of the US government, receiving threat letters and escaping attempted assassinations. The man threatened the status quo because he propagated awareness to the people and spread love, unity and peace throughout his music. Surely, this dredlocked messianic rastaman from Trenchtown, Kingston, Jamaica was not going to get away with being a clog in the wheel of the inflow of the spoils of war, money! Bomboclat!
Considered a polarized figure, he became the voice of freedom and struggle against oppression. He gave the oppressed visibility. In a world full of lies, speaking the truth becomes revolutionary while the truth speakers are deemed threats, avantgardist, revolutionary, subversive and even prophets.
I have noted elsewhere in my post on Fela, who was also called a prophet that the contrary was the case. When revolutionary figures such as these are labelled prophets, it is often because they are intelligent to perceive and see the evil perpetrated by the establishment in real time against the majority who walk blindly and are unconscious of their immediate and remote environments, and are systemically dumbed down and kept on survival mode.
Marley’s musical articulation of the pervasive and malignant evils of the system fostered an awakening that was unwanted and unappreciated by the establishment. In a world where critical thinking is suppressed, where the system appoints itself as the guide of collective thought processes, what you eat, what you wear, how to talk, how to be, concious awareness is an aberration and anathema. And the way showers who dare to contravene the agenda are marked as “dead men”.
Consequently, in my last post, the events leading to his death as revealed by his wife Rita was highlighted. However, the universe (or rather the internet bots) deemed it fit to bring to my awareness, a revelatory post which exposes the true cause of Marley’s death and this forms the premise of this post.
It turns out that Marley’s demise was not a mere coincidence, but well calculated, scripted, executed and managed by the US Central Intelligence Agency. In the secondary source, Youtuber Willie D Live presents a confession by a retired CIA operative, Bill Oxley who was hospitalized and told that he had two weeks to live. Following this news, he confessed to the singlehanded murder of Bob Marley which I partly transcribe below. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcnOy4yz748).
Oxley spent 29 years at the CIA and actively executed 17 assassinations for the US government between 1974 and 1985. He was trained as a sniper and marksman and functioned as a hitman who eliminated individuals like political activists, journalists, union leaders, scientists, medical researchers, artists and musicians, whose ideologies and influence threatened the government of the day.
He possessed immense experience in the operationalization of unconventional weapons of destruction like poisons, explosives, induced heart attacks and cancer.
His certitude towards the murder of Bob Marley was attributed to his American patriotism, “as sacrifices had to be made for the greater good….but I must admit Bob’s music did move me. It held some power over me”. He described Marley as a good man who was undeserving of murder, nonetheless, he jeopardised the goals of the CIA, “threatening the existence of the United States. He was succeeding in creating a revolution that used music as a more powerful tool than bullets and bombs”.
“Bob Marley in 1976 was a very serious threat to the status quo and to the hidden power brokers implementing their plan for a New World Order. As far as the agency was concerned, Bob Marley was too successful, too famous, too influential, a Jamaican Rastaman who started using his funds and fame to support causes around the world that were in direct conflict with the CIA. To be honest, he signed his own death warrant. It is not like we didn’t warn him, we sent a few guys to shoot up his house in Kingston. We had a message for him. We impressed upon him the gravity of the situation he found himself in, he didn’t listen”.
Oxley proceeds to explain how the murder was strategized and executed. “Two days after Marley was shot in the left arm by one of the gunmen who ambushed the singer and some of the crew in his house in Kingston, after a brief stint in the hospital, Bob Marley traveled to the protective hills of the Blue Mountains and spent time at the highest points in Jamaica, rehearsing for an upcoming concert.”

He visited Marley using press credentials to gain access to the latter and introduced himself as a photographer for the New York Times. He came bearing a gift of the canvas Allstars, size 10. “When he tried the right shoe, he screamed out “ouch”! That was it, his life was over, right then and there. The nail in the shoe was tainted with cancer viruses and bacteria. If it pierced the skin, which it did, it was “good night, nurse”. There had been a series of high profiled assassinations of counterculture figures in the United States in the late 60s and early 70s. By the time Bob Marley’s time came around, we thought solitary was the order of the day, no more bullets and splattered brains.”
Oxley would keep close contact with the musician thereafter to monitor the growth and development of his evil seed. He ensured that the medical diagnoses and advices Marley received from far and wide accelerated his death than restore his health. He adds “the last time I saw Bob before he died, he had removed the dredlocks and his weight was dropping like a stone. He was very withdrawn, unbelievably small. He was shrinking in front of us, the cancer had done its job. The day he died in Miami was defintely one of the most difficult moments in my career. I felt real bad. For a long time, I wasn’t comfortable with my part in his death, but eventually I came to realise that it had to be done for America”.
Even though, the Youtube creator feels uncertainty about the plausibility and veracity of the above confession and demands more proof, I would submit that this confession is credible given America’s tendency towards silencing free speech, violence and the annihilation of perceived or contrived enemies which have played before the world for many decades.
With the re-emergence of Donald Trump as American President and his resolute commitment towards the disclosure of corrupt, malicious and sinister practices within the Americal political and bureaucratic structures, and the recent appointment of Kash Patel as the new FBI director, who shares the sentiments of draining the swamp through a review and public exposure of the nefarious activities which have corrupted the intelligence agency, it is hoped that the same measure would be applied to the CIA.
Explosive times await humanity!
