Bob Marley by Colm 9th June 2026 To understand project Bob Marley, I have to start o ff this paper a few years before he caught that fi re and signed to Island Records. I want to present three Jewmaicans who had an integral role in politics and the Jamaican music industry. I’m going to give a brief look into their genealogies and I am going to show you some red fl ags I came across as a Mathis reader. First up, Norman Washington Manley That’s Norman, Jamaicas fi rst and only Premier with his wife Edna Swithenbank. Edna was also his fi rst cousin, they had two sons, Douglas and Michael Manley, the fourth Prime Minister of Jamaica, pictured with Bob Marley and Edward Seaga at the top of this paper. Are your tentacles sensing Jewish mischief here yet? You have an incestuous relationship with a fella named Norman and a woman who has BANK in her name. Seasoned Mathis readers should be able to tell by looking at these two that they are of Phoenician stock. I could probably say case closed and move onto the next person of interest in this paper but for new readers and normies let’s take a deeper look. First, we will look at Edna Swithenbank. Now past her father Harvey Swithenbank is scrubbed on WikiTree and Geni but over on ancestry.com they give us a clue by telling us he was born in Yorkshire . They get his wife wrong telling us his wife was Martha Matilda Elliot Shearer when it was really her sister Ellie Swithenbank (nee Shearer) but they do tell us his mother was a Gibson which will come up later in this paper. Over at ThePeerage.com we get two listed Swithenbanks. Oliver Swithenbank and his daughter May. May married a Gamble, think Dominic Jacotin Gamble, Deputy Governor of Barbados & temporary Governor of Jamaica in 1883. Oliver Swithenbank held the o ffi ce of Justice of the Peace and lived in Leeds, Yorkshire. MyHeritage.com tells us that Harvey and Oliver are brothers. It also tells us that Oliver married a Louisa Fawcett. We saw over at Miles’ Michael Douglas paper that Viggo Mortensen is a Gamble and a Fawcett through his mother, so Viggo looks to be a close relation of Edna Manleys though I’m not going to get bogged down to determine exactly how, this is not the focal point of this paper, though I still fi nd it interesting none the less. Now to look at Norman. His whole name is a red fl ag. Past his paternal grandfather Samuel Manley is scrubbed on the usual sites but they do tell us that like the Swithenbanks he also hailed from Yorkshire where he was a merchant. Over on ThePeerage we get 68 Manleys. While Norman isn’t listed, his son Michael and granddaughter Rachel are. On ThePeerage I stumbled across a Mary Manley (born abt. 1775) who married a James Balfour Wemyss , they lived at Wemyss Hall in Fife, Scotland and link all the way back to Constantine, Earl of Fife, Magnus Judex of Scotia. What I found interesting is that Mary Manleys daughter Mary Elizabeth Wemyss died in Yorkshire, so I think it’s safe to say that Normans grandfather Samuel was of this stock, though I’m not unable to determine how yet, maybe someone with more brainpower like Miles or his readers can help shed a light on what I’m missing out on. Mary Elizabeth Wemyss married a Sir William Henry Feilden, 2nd Baronet, his mother Mary Haughton Jackson is a granddaughter of Colonel Montague James. These names Wemyss & Haughton James will come up later on when we look at the Miss Jamaica competitions, two winners of which, Cindy Breakspeare & Esther Anderson, both Jewish, were lovers of Bob Marley’s. Interesting to note that Feilden, 2nd Baronet also held the o ffi ce of Justice of the Peace in Yorkshire. Now Mary Manley in Scotlands father Henry hailed from Devon. Marys daughter Henrietta Balfour Wemyss has a marble plaque inside St. Andrews Church in Halberton, Devon, cementing the link between the Scottish Wemyss & Devonshire Manleys. It got me thinking about Miles’ favourite poet Gerard Manley Hopkins, see his grandmother Ann Manley was also from Devon. I think she is of this stock. All this talk of Devon and Manleys in the 18th century I have to bring up the naval o ffi cer John Manley who was born in Devon in 17 33 . John Manley served as Commodore in George Washingtons fl eet during the American Revolutionary War. John Manley went by the name John Russell as he told people he was the illegitimate son of Elizabeth Manley and the Duke of Bedford. Wiki doesn’t clarify if he thought his dad was Wriothesely the 3rd Duke or John Russell the 4th Duke but my gut tells me it’s John, more on the Russells later. On the ThreeDecks page for John Manley we fi nd that he had a brother named Isaac George Manley , note that it clearly states Isaacs parents but there are no parents listed on John’s page, strange. Is this to keep the narrative alive that John is the illegitimate child of the Duke of Bedford? Still doesn’t explain how they would be brothers if Three Decks says Isaacs mother was an Ann Hammond and Wikipedia says that John Manleys mother was called Elizabeth Manley. Isaac was the last survivor of the crew who sailed with Captain Cook, during his fi rst voyage round the world, pull the other one. What interests me about Isaac is his beautiful home in Oxfordshire, known as Braziers Park . It was the childhood home of spook author Ian Fleming , who we will meet later on in this paper. Next we will look at Normans mothers side, his grandmother Ann Margaret “Elsie” Taylor (born 1831), fi rstly married Robert Clarke , the son of an unknown Carr from Co. Clare in Ireland. Elsie and Robert had a son Robert Constantine Clarke, the father of Sir William Alexander Clarke Bustamante, the fi rst Prime Minister of Jamaica, making Manley and Bustamante cousins, same grandmother, di ff erent grandfathers, you get the drift. Ann Margaret Clarke went on to marry Alexander Shearer, Geni says he was born in Ban ff , Scotland . Any Shearers we fi nd on ThePeerage in Scotland are a bit further up across Sinclairs Bay in Caithness, interesting. On WikiTree it says Alexander Shearer is from Ireland, more added confusion. Unable to fi nd more info on Shearer, I hit a road block. My intuition was telling me that the third Prime Minister of Jamaica Hugh Lawson Shearer is also closely related to Bustamante & Manley but he is well scrubbed. Except, WikiTree etc does let us know that Hugh Shearers mother was an Esther Lindo linking him to Chris Blackwell who is also a Lindo. This roadblock prompted me to open up this Gentry Capitalism book for some fresh ideas. It follows another family, the Lascelles (read Andrew Holness) and how they dominated commerce in the West Indies for nearly 300 years . Now, the book did come out of Cambridge University Press and an Olgilvie was on the books editorial board so information here is to be taken with a grain of salt. However, this book intrigued me as not only does it have a section on Lascelles and the Maxwells (read Edward Seaga), it also has a section on the Gedney Clarkes. Knowing that Bustmante and Manley came from Clarkes I said I would look up the name Gedney Clarke. This Gedney Clarke fellow is an interesting sort, he tried to stop a slave revolt in Berbice in 1763 with the help of his friends The Lord Rodney & James Douglas, 1st Baronet , he’s well connected. Before moving to Barbados in 1733, Gedney Clarke was from Salem, Mass . As a Mathis reader this set o ff some alarm bells. Looking into Gedney Clarkes genealogy we come across his mother Deborah Clarke (Gedney) . Her father Bartholemew Gedney was a judge for the Salem Witch Trials , major red fl ag. Gedney Clarke had a sister also named Deborah, she married Col. William Fairfax, Esq, Chief Justice of the Bahamas Deborah Fairfax was mother of Bryan Clark Fairfax, 8th Lord Fairfax of Cameron and Hannah Fairfax . Hannah married Warner Washington, fi rst cousin of president George Washington. This Hannah Washington had a daughter named Catherine who married a Nelson, think Horatio, Viscount Nelson. Hannah Washington Fairfax had a half sister named Anne Lee born a year earlier. Anne married Lawrence Washington, brother of George Washington. Fairfax County in Virginia (where Mount Vernon is) is named after Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron where he owned over 5 million acres. If these are the same Clarkes that are Manleys ancestors I think it may be a clue as to where he got the Washington in his name from. So why have we spent the last two pages fl eshing out the origins of this geezer Norman Washington Manley? Isn’t this a bleedin paper on a Jew named Bob Marley who faked his own death? See, Manley is known as the father of Jamaican independence and it is important that you know who he is before introducing any other characters into this Phoenician play. Like fellow fake revolutionaries Michael Collins of Ireland and Mahatma Gandhi of India, Manley of Jamaica left his colonial outpost and travelled to the heart of the empire to study law in England. If you have been paying attention, you will realise none of these nations ever had any independence from the British Empire. So Manley went to Oxford on Cecil Rhodes’ dime and returned to Jamaica to embark on a life in politics. In 1959, the same year Chris Blackwell founded Island Records, Norman Manley founded the Jamaican Broadcasting Corporation. According to the JBC wiki, when Michael Manley became Prime Minister in 1972 he wanted to use it as a vehicle for nation building. Of course, using it as a propaganda tool against the people of Jamaica was always the goal from the start. Before we move onto our next political fi gure, would you like to see some more proof that Norman Washington Manley is Jewish? (Other than marrying his cousin of course teehee teehee) His granddaughter Rachel Manley, who works in broadcasting, is currently married to her third husband, a “Barbadian” broadcaster called Israel Cinman. There isn’t a hope in hell that a Gentiles daughter or granddaughter is marrying a dude with the fi rst name Israel. But, if you would like more substantive proof, hop on over to Rachel’s page on ThePeerage where you will fi nd she fi rstly married George Albert Harley de Vere Drummond , a godson of King George VI. Drummond and Manley had a son together, George Manley de Vere Drummond, his half brother is Sir Matthew Vaughan. Vaughan’s wife Claudia Schi ff er was just at a banquet hosted by King Charles III, whom she sat two seats down from. The company these people keep. You don’t need me to tell you they’re all related if you’ve been reading Miles long enough. You’ll still fi nd Manley’s enmeshed with British Royalty today, see Dame Charlotte Manley, private secretary to Prince Andrew. Side note. Robert Constantine Clarkes wife Mary Clarke (nee Wilson) also married a George Dalton Aitchison. I fi nd this interesting as Robert Constantine Clarkes brother Henry Clarke was the popular calypso singer Harry Belafonte’s great- grandfather. Now Henry Clarkes grandson/Belafontes uncle Lendon Loyd Love married a Mabel Aitchison. 103 Aitchison’s on ThePeerage, something to investigate further. Also Miles, in your Fidel Castro paper , you were looking for links between Belafonte and Castro, another may be Michael Manley who was a fellow actor on the world stage with Castro. There’s Manley on the left & Castro on the right. In the middle you have Maurice Bishop, who was Prime Minister of Grenada, he looks a lot like Jerry Rawlings, former President of Ghana & Kurt Waldheim , Secretary General of the Jew knighted nations. Next up, Edward Seaga Do you see the goblin on the left? That’s Edward Seaga, 5th Prime Minister of Jamaica with Hugh Lawson Shearer, the 3rd Prime Minister & Michael Manley, the 4th Prime Minister. Looks like they’re having a grand old time doesn’t it? Before embarking on a life in politics Seaga studied Anthropology at Harvard, graduating in 1952. Alarm bells should be already going o ff . Like Cambridge in England, Cambridge in Massachusetts is where spooks go to learn the trade. Edward wouldn’t a ff ectionately be given the name CIAga until decades later but I think it’s safe to say he was recruited here because of his pedigree. Upon his return to Jamaica Seaga set up the West Indies Records Limited record label, his fi rst assignment for the agency. In fl uencing and subverting the culture of nations, you know how these Jews do. After building it up to be the most successful record label in the West Indies (woopty doo) he sold WIRL to Byron Lee who renamed it to Dynamic Sounds. After the music business, Seaga went into politics where he was very successful, becoming Prime Minister of Jamaica from 1980 to 1989. He was also the leader of the Jamaican Labour Party from 1974 to 2005. When you look into Mr Seaga’s genealogy you get all the answers you need as to how he rose to the highest political o ffi ce in Jewmaica. Let’s take a look shall we? I didn’t fi nd much on Seagas fathers side other than they seem to be Lebanese Jews, scrubbed on the usual sites, that didn’t stop me looking into him. I found his maternal lineage to be much more fascinating, which I’m sure you will too. See his grandfather was George Maxwell and his grandmother was Elizabeth Campbell . Elizabeth Campbells mother was Elizabeth Heron , very interesting Scottish clans we fi nd tied to this Jewmaican. This makes Edward Seaga related to Mr Revolution Will Not Be Televised Gil Scott-Heron, their most common recent ancestor being William Heron (1733 - 1809) . These Herons trace all the way back to Sir John Heron (1470 - 1523) who had fancy titles such as Treasurer of the Chamber under Henry VII and Henry VIII and Chamberlain of the Exchequer, roles he held for decades. William Heron’s paternal grandmother was Abigail Heron (nee Heveningham), her mother was Barbara Villiers, the Royal Mistress of King Charles II, the uncrowned Queen of England. Back to William, his mother Mary McGeoch Heron was the daughter of Jean Sutherland , Jean was the daughter of Jean Wemyss (linking us to Balfour’s & Sinclair’s) and George Gordon the 15th Earl of Sutherland (linking us back to Drummonds, Sinclairs, Stewarts & Leslies). The Earls of Sutherland later on link us to the Dukes of Sutherland through Elizabeth Gordon Leveson-Gower , Duchess of Sutherland. Elizabeths son George Sutherland-Leveson-Gower, the 2nd Duke of Sutherland was father to Elizabeth Campbell, who married George Campbell, the 8th Duke of Argyll. The 2nd Duke was also father to Catherine FitzGerald, who married Charles FitzGerald, the 4th Duke of Leinster. He was also father to Constance Grosvenor, who married Hugh Grosvenor, the 1st Duke of Westminster. I could go on but you get the picture. These Gordon’s are right at the top of The Peerage and link to the whole Phoenician gamut. Jean Wemyss’ fi rst cousin through her uncle John was Robert Balfour, 4th Lord Balfour of Burleigh, he had a daughter named Mary, she married Brigadier General Alexander Bruce (b. - 1747) , 7th Lord of Kennet and took his name. Through marriage this connects Edward Seaga to Robert The Bruce. If you look at the 9th Lord of Kennet Alexander Bruce he married an unknown Blackburn, daughter of a Hugh Blackburn, both scrubbed on Geni and The Peerage. It’s a shame because I always thought Jamaicas last Governor General Kenneth Blackburne has a bit of a resemblance to Edward Seaga and I would’ve liked to have determined their exact relationship. What do you thin This Lord of Kennet and Unknown Blackburn had a grandson named Alexander Hugh Bruce, 6th Lord Balfour of Burleigh. He was Secretary for Scotland and Governor of the Bank of Scotland. He married Lady Katherine Eliza Gordon, daughter of the 5th Earl of Aberdeen and granddaughter of George Hamilton Gordon, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1852 - 1855. So, with Seaga being related to the Gordons, Earls of Sutherland and the Gordons, Earls of Aberdeen through marriage it got me thinking about Gordon House, the Jamaican Parliament. It’s named after George William Gordon (1820-1865) and the story goes that he was a Jamaican businessman and politician who was a leading critic of the policies of the Governor of Jamaica Edward Eyre , a descendant of Oliver Cromwell’s. On Eyre's orders, he was executed after the Morant Bay rebellion. Reads like another fake to me. Why do I say that? Well, not only was George William Gordons mother a Rattray but his fathers Gordon lineage traces all the way back to the Lairds of Gordon, he was a made man. Governor of Jamaica Edward Eyre who supposedly ordered his execution then allowed his daughter Ada Austen Eyre to marry Alexander Hamilton Gordon who can also trace his lineage back to the Lairds of Gordon. Make that make sense? So your relative is executed and you marry the daughter of the guy who gave the green light? From the Governors perspective it makes no sense either. They were in cahoots. This Hamilton Gordon that Ada Austen Eyre married has a fairly interesting lineage too. His grandfather Alexander had a sister, Ann Pottinger. She was the mother of Sir Henry Pottinger, the 1st Governor of Hong Kong and Dame Isabella Curwen Smith who married General Sir Lionel Smith, another Governor of Jamaica who inherited his role from Howe Peter Browne, Marquess of Sligo, who we will meet in the next section on Chris Blackwell. Ann Pottinger was also the great grandmother of Sir John Thompson, the Prime Minister of Canada. Back to George William Gordon, he has two pro fi les over at Geni, I believe there is an attempt here at scrubbing his family tree. He has this o ffi cial looking pro fi le with bio included and lists a whole bunch of siblings, then you have this pro fi le for him listing the same parent’s but this time only one sibling, Catherine Watson. Not sure where she got the name Watson, Geni says she married a Cornelias Gordon. This could link us to the Jewmaican Watsons in Kamala Harris’ lineage . One of Cornelius & Catherine’s daughters El fl eda married Abraham Nathaniel Aitcheson, the half brother of Prime Minister Bustamante Clarke. One of El fl eda and Abrahams sons Stanley Livingston Aitcheson married a Rehena Malcolm , which may lead back to Bob Marley’s maternal lineage. Over on El fl eda Augusta Gordon’s ancestry.com Pro fi le it tells us her fathers full name was Cornelius Augustus Gordon. On a search for Cornelius I stumbled across the pro fi le of Joseph Lindo Gordon which lists Cornelius as his father and a Rosanna Lawson as his mother. Could she be of the same stock as Prime Minister Hugh Lawson Shearer? Past Shearers grandfather Frederick Lindo is scrubbed on the usual sites, I suspect Fredericks father or uncle is Richard Lindo, Rosanna’s father in the screenshot below. You can see here on the Lindo family wiki under the heading Prominent descendants of Isaac Lindo that both Blackwell and Hugh Shearer are listed, I think Rosanna Lawson is that link between the two. This links Hugh Lawson, Edward Seaga & possibly all of the others to Chris Blackwell, the King of Jewmaica, coming up in the next section. Finishing up this part of the paper on Edward Seaga, the Phoenician who delivered the eulogy at the state sponsored charade that was Bob Marley’s “funeral” I want to show you this photo: That’s Seaga with Jewmaican billionaire Michael Lee-Chin. Lee-Chin fi rst came up on my radar when I went down the rabbit hole of what happened to the Bob Marley estate after his alleged death. I found out that the Mutual Security Merchant Bank of Jamaica considered the house of Marley’s mother Cedella Booker to be part of the estate that was at the time in the middle of a legal dispute and they wanted it. Pretty cold. A few years later the Mutual Security Merchant Bank of Jamaica merged with the NCB Financial Group Limited. Michael Lee-Chin’s Portland Holdings bought a 75% stake in NCB a few years after the merger. He went on to set up o ffi ces in Hamilton, Ontario & Hamilton, Bermuda. Would you like to take a guess at what his wife’s name is? Sonya Hamilton. Without even looking into her genealogy I bet she can trace her roots back to Scotland, they really are everywhere & as Mathis proclaimed in his Tim Ferriss paper , THEY LIVE. I wonder do these Hamiltons pay tribute back to the Duke of Abercorn or Duke of Hamilton or have the Families “gone legit” like the Corleone family in the Godfather Part 3 consolidating all of their wealth into the BlackRocks, Vanguards & State Streets of the world? What is also curious is Lee-Chins name, being a Mathis reader all I see is Lee(vi)-Cohin and sure enough, the CFO at NCB is a Dennis Cohen. Yes, they’re everywhere. Chris Blackwell Christopher Percy Gordon Blackwell, this is a very interesting man folks, let’s get into it. Going to look into his origin story fi rst. He starts o ff his book The Islander with an ace and an eight right o ff the bat to signal to his spook mates that we’re in for a load of hogwash. He even comes clean and admits that one of his favourite stories to recite has been hyperbolic bollox, letting you know ahead of time that if you believe this liar, it’s on you. I don’t mean to sound harsh and be a hater. Blackwell comes across as charming, likeable and well spoken but so is Michael Caines character in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. However, given the chance, they will fl eece you. At the age of 18 in 1955, fresh out of Harrow, Chris Blackwell became the personal assistant to Hugh Mackintosh Foot, Baron Caradon, the last Governor of Jamaica, a fi tting role when you consider who Blackwells ancestors are. I suspect Blackwell & Foot are related, see Sarah Alexander Foote Blackwell over at FindAGrave . While working at Kings House on Hope Road Blackwell would become acquainted with the likes of Norman Manley & Alexander Bustamante Clarke. Blackwells career path looks similar to spook author Ian Fleming, his mother Blanches boyfriend. Fleming was fi rst recruited by the Director of Naval Intelligence Rear Admiral John Godfrey to become his personal assistant, showing Fleming the ropes before letting him o ff the leash to work on other projects, like helping to start the CIA. Fleming was fi rst in Jamaica in 1942 at an Anglo American Intelligence Conference and moved there three years later buying the land where his home Goldeneye was built o ff of Blackwells uncle Roy Lindo. You may recall that the fi rst James Bond fi lm Dr No was released in 1962, the same year of Jamaicas fake independence from the United Kingdom. Blackwell worked as a location scout on the fi lm, that’s where the photo at the top of this page is from. Fair play to Chris, he hooked up his buddy Byron Lee with a gig on screen, yes, that Byron Lee who bought Edward Seagas record label. While looking into Dr No I fell down a fairly interesting rabbit hole. See, Mrs Moneypenny in the Bond fi lms is a Lois Maxwell which sticks out to me as Edward Seaga is a Maxwell, it’s a top peerage name and Scottish clan. She was born in 1927 as Lois Ruth Hooker, her early bio is just nonsense. They make sure to mention her father worked at Clinton School until 19 33 . Lois’ life starts when she runs away in 1942 at the age of 15 to join the Canadian Women’s Army Corps, they’re calling her Maxwell at this point over at Wikipedia even though she doesn’t change her name until four years later. She’s posted to the United Kingdom where she performed music and dance, you have to laugh. Maxwells true age is discovered, she must be coming up to 16 at this point and to avoid being repatriated back to her family in Canada she was discharged where she went on to enrol at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. I wonder was Leonie Forbes there at this point as well? Maxwell became friends with Roger Moore at RADA, as you do. Four years after running away from Canada to England, Lois Ruth Hooker made her fi rst fi lm appearance on the fi lm “A Matter of Life and Death” directed by Emeric Pressburger. According to her Wiki, it was at this time she changed her surname from Hooker to Maxwell. They want you to believe that she borrowed the name from a ballet dancing friend and that the rest of her family back in Canada changed their surnames to Maxwell too. A year later in 47, Lois moved to Hollywood to pick up a Golden Globe. Her story kind of fades out then moving across Europe marrying a Peter Churchill Marriott before returning on screen for a few Bond fi lms. I just fi nd it a wonderful coincidence that her fi rst on screen appearance was on that Pressburger fi lm. Kevin MacDonald, director of the 2012 Marley documentary was Emeric Pressburgers grandson, both Jewish. Karl Marx was a Pressburg and a Phillips so you have to wonder if Kevin MacDonald is of the Lord of the Isles stock and if they had a part to play in project Marx . I also think March-Phillips is another name fudge and the likes of the founder of the SAS Gustavus March-Phillips could link Karl to the Leslies and Arbuthnots. When Blackwell wasn’t busy working with Hugh Foot, doing a bit of location scouting or running jukeboxes up and down the island, he was teaching people how to jet ski at the Half Moon Hotel owned by Curtis and Esther Steuart. This is where he discovered Lancelot Stuart Hayward and recorded the fi rst record for Island Records. This was in 1959, the same year Berry Gordy started Motown and Garech Browne started Claddagh Records. It would be a few years before Island had it’s fi rst big hit record with Millie Smalls “My Boy Lollipop”. Nothing weird at all about a Jewish lad ferrying a teenage girl around the world. Reason I’m bringing Millie into this is despite the denials of Rod Stewart, she claims that it was Mr Stewart playing the harmonica in the song. That’s a few Stewarts we’ve seen already. Along with the Stewart in the photo with Blackwell at the top, Mr Sean Connery. Millie has an interesting story because despite “selling millions of records” she ended up homeless. Blackwell said that most of the revenue from the song went on licensing fees to the songwriters. He ended up buying Ms. Small a house, in my personal opinion to save face as a public relations move. I got this impression from watching the archetypical magical negro, Wailers guitarist Al Anderson, describe how at a gig backstage he stumbled upon Blackwell in the Island Records mobile studio recording Marley’s performances in secret. Live shows that would go on to sell millions of records. Anderson said that no one other than Marley and Island received any royalties on those albums. Before I dig into Blackwells genealogy and how he is so well connected I want to show you a few things about Island Records I found curious. Some of the top brass have names that throw up red fl ags for me. Names like: Graeme Goodall, Co-Founder Leslie Kong, Co-Founder Dickie Jobson, Co-Founder Nick Stewart , Head of A&R Timothy Howard Clarke , Managing Director Then there’s these two Island logos used over the years - I believe the i stands for Intelligence. Some of Islands earliest artists con fi rm that for me. See Robert Palmer: Or Steve Winwood of the band Tra ffi c, listed in The Peerage where you will fi nd his daughter married Ben Elliot, nephew of Queen Camilla Parker Bowles and Chairman of the Conservative Party. Ah, nepotism at it’s fi nest, I haven’t even scratched the surface. What you won’t fi nd on the Wikipedia for Island Records is their Global HQ for a couple of decades over at 22 St. Peter’s Square in London. I do wonder why? Hold on a minute... is that an Eagle? Or a Phoenix? The building is still home to former head of A&R at Island, Nick Stewart. Now with Island being a spook hub, you have to wonder if Nick was related to the deputy head of MI6 (Brian Stewart) during the time of Project Bob Marley. Brian’s son Rory stood to be Leader of the Conservative Party when Theresa May was taken o ff stage, he wanted to become Prime Minister. That would be quite brazen of the Stewart’s, wouldn’t put it past them though, one to watch. I couldn’t fi nd a high quality image of the building with the blue plaque on it so I put one on myself. The blue plaque was installed at this address by gay Caribbean entrepreneur Jak Beula Dodd . Jak was also present for the installation of the plaque over at Bob Marley’s house in Bloomsbury and the one at Islands Basing Street studios where Exodus was recorded. That’s the blue plaque over at Basing Street. You might be thinking to yourself, who is Jill Sinclair? Well, in the early 80s, sources di ff er on dates, Chris Blackwell sold this studio to Jill Sinclair and Trevor Horn . Along with Paul Morley (also the ghostwriter of Blackwells book) they went on to found ZTT Records. Tell me they aren’t Jewish? That’s quite a few Peerage names we’ve hit there too, you have Sinclair, Trevor, Horn (Possibly a fudge of Heron) and Morley. There may be a link may be to Clan Sinclair, the Earls of Caithness, the 19th Earls sister Lady Nicola Sinclair married a John Vernon Morley I also came across a John Morley Trevor on The Peerage, he married Lucy Montagu, daughter of Ralph Montagu, 1st Duke of Montagu. Remember William Montagu, 5th Duke of Manchester , was Governor of Jamaica from 1808–1827. One of John & Lucy’s daughters Gertrude Trevor married Charles Roper who comes from Stuarts and Villiers, their daughter Gertrude was known as Baroness Dacre and married Thomas Brand son of a Pierrepoint (his mother Caroline) who came from Villiers and Howards. Thomas’ great grandfather William Pierrepoint Esq came from Manners, Talbot and Dacres. These are ancestors of Russell Brand . Charles links us to Elizabeth Roper, maid of honour to Queen Anne. Elizabeth married treasurer of the navy, Vice Admiral Robert Mansell. Mansell was fi rstly married to Elizabeth Bacon, daughter of Sir Nicholas Bacon, Keeper of the Great Seal. Elizabeth and Robert died without issue but Robert’s brother Sir Francis Mansell has a 6g-granddaughter Bruce Mans fi eld Boxley (1909 - 1968) married a James Blackwell, interesting. Strange name for a girl, probably another descendant of Robert the Bruce. John got his middle name from his mother Elizabeth Clarke’s fi rst husband William Morley, he died of smallpox at the age of 25. Then Elizabeth married his cousin John Trevor, brother of Thomas Trevor, 1st Baron Trevor. The 2nd Baron Trevor also named Thomas daughter Elizabeth married Charles Spencer, 3rd Duke of Marlborough son of Charles Spencer, 3rd Earl of Sunderland and Lady Anne Churchill. Princess Diana, Winston Churchill, John Campbell, the 5th Duke of Argyll and the future King of England are also related to these people. One of Charles & Elizabeths children was George Spencer, 4th Duke of Marlborough and he married Lady Caroline Russell, daughter of John Russell, 4th Duke of Bedford. John Morley Trevors son also named John Morley Trevor married an Elizabeth Frankland (think Benjamin Franklin). Her father Sir Thomas Frankland’s mother was Elizabeth Frances Russell, daughter of Sir John Russell and Frances Cromwell, daughter of Oliver Cromwell Going to mention here that Trevor Horns daughter Alexandra Horn runs the studio her parents bought o ff of Chris Blackwell. She got her degree at spook university Cambridge. She also works at a law fi rm called Russells. What are the odds? This one’s a wild one. Chris Blackwell produced a fi lm in 1972 with a Jew named Perry Henzell called “The Harder They Come” starring Jimmy Cli ff , the fi lm is now ultimately owned by a holding company named Shamrock Holdings, it is the Disney family ’s investment fi rm. The current CEO of Shamrock is a Jew named Stanley Gold which I fi nd amusing. There’s a man named Martin Disney who says he has worked on almost every Bob Marley fi lm and tv project since 1990. He directed a TV special in 2021 called Bob Marley and the Wailers: The Capitol Session '73. A man named Chris Frankland is credited as working on the restoration team on this project. Just a coincidence I’m sure. Another tidbit featured on the end credits of this tv special is Barney Cordell is credited as producer on this project. Barney is the eldest son of Denny Cordell Lavarack (who fi lmed this session). Over on the peerage we fi nd that Denny had another son with Marina Guinness, a great great granddaughter of the 1st Earl of Iveagh. Strange that on Barneys listing on the peerage he is next to a Donald Sinclair, I wonder why Lundy did that. Anyway, Denny issued Bob Marley and the Wailers fi rst US single Duppy Conqueror on his Shelter label in October 1971. It says he was instrumental in the group signing to Island Records.... Wonder how this all fi ts in with Bob in Sweden in 1971, him arguing with Danny Simms of JAD records in 1972 about signing to Blackwells Island Records. Also, how was he instrumental? As the story goes, Bob was down and out in London, fl at broke and in one last attempt at making it stormed the o ffi ce of Chris Blackwell which I fi nd hard to believe. Bob should have well been on Blackwells radar at this point, having published Bob Marley’s single “Judge Not” in 1963. In fact, in this interview Blackwell states he printed Bob’s name on the record as Robert Morley. Robert Morley was an actor who starred alongside Blackwells girlfriend Esther Anderson in the fi lm Genghis Khan. Ten years after “The Harder They Come”, Blackwell and Henzell produced the fi lm “Countryman”. The fi lm was Dickie Jobson’s directorial debut. Dickie was Diane Jobson’s brother, Diane of course was a close friend of Marley’s and was his attorney. The most interesting thing about this awful fi lm was that the antagonist was called Colonel Sinclair, a reference to Bobs father perhaps? Another interesting tidbit from this fi lm is the actor Hiram Keller. He is best known for starring in Fellini’s Satyricon, a fi lm fi lled with open air degeneracy as Rome burns, quite the parallels with today’s society. Hiram’s father was in the US Military and then went on to become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia. Hiram was tied in with Andy Warhol . As was Blackwell: Warhol also worked with Lee Ja ff e, Bob Marley’s gay Jewish photographer who lived with Marley at 56 Hope Road. Ja ff e hails from the communist family under investigation during the McCarthy era, see his uncle Philip Jacob Ja ff e. Hiram’s wife also starred in Countryman, her name was Kristina St. Clair. While I haven’t been able to fi nd a link between the de Clares yet (like Strongbow or Elizabeth mentioned above) the Sinclairs and St. Clairs are the same. This one is a bit out there but bear with me. A year after making “Countryman”, Blackwells Island Records partnered up with Jewbermensch Shep Gordon ’s Alive Films. Shep Gordon was also in the music business managing the likes of KISS, Jimi Hendrix & Pink Floyd. One of the fi lms that Island Alive made and distributed stood out to me. In 1985 they released “Kiss of the Spider Woman” starring Sônia Braga. Sônia Braga’s niece Alice would go on to star alongside Will Smith in “I Am Legend”. In the fi lm Smith would go on to tell the story about the fake Bob Marley assassination attempt, mythologising Marley’s resilience, selling him as a hero performing at Smile Jamaica two days later. The Phoenicians ran a similar script with the Jew Teddy Roos evelt. If that weren’t good enough, Marley’s music would also feature in the Will Smith fi lm “Shark Tale”, making sure to sell project Bob Marley to all demographics. Now Will Smith, like Frederick Douglass, was a Washington and it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if they’re related to Norman Washington Manley, whom I believe to be a relation of Bob’s. I want to add that I saw the Horn surname pop up in a psyop in Scotland recently, part of the Men Are Pigs, Split The Sexes project. In a crime resembling what you saw over in America with Brian Laundrie (Brain Washing) & Gabby Petito (Small Talk) the Scots heard of a Ewan Methven beheading his girlfriend Phoenix Spencer-Horn in East Kilbride, a ten minute drive away from where he was sentenced in the Hamilton Sheri ff Court. The DCI in that was a Cairns . If you want to see how fake it was check out this clip of neighbour Toni Brown duping delight, comical. Where oh where do I start with this one? I will start with one of the more interesting aspects of Chris Blackwells genealogy. The one that get’s barely any air time, see, you hear about Lindos and Cross & Blackwell fortunes but you never hear about why Blackwell is sometimes referred to as the pirate. See, Blackwell is a descendant of the Pirate Queen of Ireland Grace O’Malley and while he mentioned androgynous weirdo Grace Jones over 60 times in his book, his famous ancestor O’Malley get’s approximately 0 shoutouts. Blackwell visits Co. Mayo once a year, sometimes stopping o ff in Dalkey on the way, to sni ff Bonos farts or something. Bonos manager by the way, is a McGuinness whose father was in the RAF, we’ll see McGuinness’ pop up on the next page. My guess as to why Blackwell doesn’t mention this aspect of his ancestry is he doesn’t want you to fi nd out what I found out. As you can tell by the Coat of Arms, the O’Malleys were a seafaring clan, one of very few in Ireland. Their motto is “Terra Marique Potens” meaning "Powerful on Land and Sea” . One of their main earners was the importation of Gallowglass mercenaries from Scotland to fi ght in Irish battles. Clan Donnell was the gallowglass family most associated with the west of Ireland and O’Malley ships ferried them to and from their Scottish homeland. If I have this right when they settled in Tyrconnell they became O’Donnells but when they were in the Hebrides they were MacDonalds and they were known uno ffi cially as the “Lords of the Isles”. Grace O’Malley was part of the Irish aristocracy, the daughter of chieftain Owen O’Malley. Her second husband was Richard “The Iron” Bourke, a descendant of William de Burgh, founder of the House of Burgh. Meaning Richard is also related to the Earl of Ulster John de Burgh whose wife Elizabeth de Clare was granddaughter of King Edward I and the patron of a college in Cambridge which took her name. Hundreds of years later, the governor general of Jamaica Kenneth Blackburne would attend this institution. I fi nd all of this stu ff very interesting. The fi rst red fl ag for me with Grace O’Malley was her meeting in 1577 with Sir Henry Sidney, Lord Deputy of Ireland for Queen Elizabeth I. O’Malley would show o ff her military capabilities and would o ff er her services to him. I’m going to draw your attention back to the O’Malley coat of arms above, on the top left you will see the Red Hand of Ulster, signalling an a ffi liation with the O’Neill clan. The second red fl ag was the narrative switch where O’Malley would head for Ulster to meet with Hugh O’Neill, Earl of Tyrone and his ally Red Hugh O’Donnell to unite Ireland and drive the English out. It’s my personal belief that these two venerated men in Irish history O’Neill & O’Donnell were Judas goats, controlled opposition, destined to fail in their mission. Why do I say this? After leading the Irish forces during the Nine Years War they lost The Battle of Kinsale which was the end of Gaelic Ireland and the start of Stewart rule with King James. Following all this talk of driving the English out of Ireland, O’Neill found himself in the company of his opponent in the war Charles Blount, 8th Baron Mountjoy and King James over in England. From The Nine Years War 1593-1603 by James O’Neill: This is the same King James that brought about the plantation of Ulster and here is this “High King of Ireland” O’Neill having a dandy old time hunting with the new King of England. I think the Irish were wise to this at the time and that led to the Flight of the Earls where Hugh O’Neill, his wife Catherine Magennis, Hugh O’Donnell and some of their followers high tailed it to Europe. O’Malley’s son Tibbot na Long Bourke was a bit more cute, his reward for siding with the English was
