THE SPIRIT OF BOB MARLEY: THE 2011 SPAIN EARTHQUAKE
Reggae superstar and music legend Bob Marley passed away 30 years ago on May 11, 1981. On the 30th anniversary of his passing, the country of Spain was rocked by 2 earthquakes on May 11, 2011.
An alignment of planets Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Mars, Uranus and Neptune during the week of May 08, 2011, provoked speculation in Italy that a major earthquake would hit Rome.
The talk was fed by discussions of the work of the late Raffaele Bendandi, a self-taught seismologist who believed that quakes could be predicted by observing the combined movements of the planets, the sun and the moon.
According to writer Shella Marie Gutierrez, ”thousands of Romans have fled the city on Wednesday, May 11, 2011 to escape an earthquake forecasted in 1915 by Raffaele Bendandi, a self-described seismologist.
Bendandi was said to have predicted a big earthquake that would strike Rome on May 11, 2011. Fears over the said earthquake has been spread out through Twitter, Facebook and text messages which have caused the panic.”
Spain is just about 800 miles away from Rome, same date of Bendandi‘s prediction.
The numbers surrounding the 2011 Spain earthquake are metaphysically linked to those emanating from the life of Robert Nesta Marley, commonly referred to as Bob Marley.
Some of those numbers for both the 2011 Spain earthquake and Bob Marley are reflective of the Black Cat Archetype covered in previous articles.
Bob Marley lived February 6, 1945 to May 11, 1981. “February 6, 1945″= 2+6+1+9+4+5=27=2+7=9.
“May 11, 1981″=5+11+1+9+8+1=35=3+5=8. Marley was 36 years old at the time of his passing. “36″=3+6=9.
This is the second time at least that a major earthquake occurred on the 11th day of the month and was associated with a historical event of a major figure who is of African ancestry. The March 11, 2011 Japanese earthquake was associated with the split between Malcolm X and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad in 1964.
Japan’s earthquake took place on March 11, 2011 raised additional concerns due to the presence of nuclear reactors throughout the country. Spain like Japan also has nuclear reactors. Spain while at this time appears to have avoided the major challenges confronting Japan, many have also raised concerns about nuclear reactors in that country as well as the rest of Europe.
According to Bloomberg’s Business Week May 12, 2011 online edition:
Spain’s Cofrentes reactor, about 180 kilometers (112 miles) south of Lorca, was undamaged and operating normally, a spokeswoman at the plant said today. Cofrentes, owned by Iberdrola SA, was given a 10-year license extension one day before the March 11 earthquake and tsunami battered Japan.
European nuclear regulators from 27 nations met in Brussels today and failed to set parameters for inspections required for the region’s 143 atomic reactors after Japan’s biggest quake on record caused the worst nuclear accident in 25 years. They scheduled negotiations to continue in Prague on May 19-20.
“There’s still discussion going on whether man-made disasters should be included in the stress-tests,” said Marlene Holzner, energy spokeswoman at the European Commission. “It’s a very complicated issue.”
The 5.1-magnitude earthquake struck at 6.47pm local time on Wednesday at a depth of just 10 kilometres, coming nearly two hours after a smaller 4.4-magnitude quake.
Nine people were killed when an earthquake wrecked swathes of the historic southern city of Lorca and forced thousands to flee their homes.
AZ Central reported:
“Thirty people were hospitalized, and tens of thousands of residents slept in cars, shelters fashioned from cardboard boxes and lawn chairs at makeshift camps in parks in southeastern Lorca, about 30 kilometers (19 miles) inland from Mediterranean Sea beach destinations where little to no damage was reported.”
1,300 years ago the Moors on April 29, 711 initiated their conquest of the Iberian peninsula of where Spain is geographically located.
The second earthquake that rocked Spain was a 4.4-magnitude quake. “4+4″=8.
May 11, 2011 witnessed the deadliest earthquake in Spain since April 19, 1956, when a tremor wrecked buildings and killed 11 people in Albolote, a town in the southern Spanish province of Granada.” “April 19, 1956“=4+19+1+9+5+6=44.
With the 2011 Earthquake in Spain: Nine people killed when an earthquake wrecked swathes of the historic southern city of Lorca and forced thousands to flee their homes.
Spain’s Cofrentes reactor, about 180 kilometers (112 miles) south of Lorca, was undamaged and operating normally. “180″=1+8+0=9.
Like the Arab Spring activists, they use twitter and the internet to rally support. Calling for fewer police and more education the demonstrators say their words are their weapons.
Discontent with Spain political system and the country’s high unemployment rate has galvanised the disparate groups.
While mainly peaceful, there have been some clashes with police and several arrests.”
Clearly without knowing it, the protestors are following the dictates of many of Bob Marley’s songs, most notably “Get Up Stand Up”. In this song Bob Marley and the Wailers exhort oppressed people by proclaiming:
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don’t give up the fight!Preacher man, don’t tell me,
Heaven is under the earth.
I know you don’t know
What life is really worth.
It’s not all that glitters is gold;
‘Alf the story has never been told:
So now you see the light, eh!
Stand up for your rights. come on!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don’t give up the fight!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don’t give up the fight!
Most people think,
Great god will come from the skies,
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high.
But if you know what life is worth,
You will look for yours on earth:
And now you see the light,
You stand up for your rights. jah!
Get up, stand up! (jah, jah! )
Stand up for your rights! (oh-hoo! )
Get up, stand up! (get up, stand up! )
Don’t give up the fight! (life is your right! )
Get up, stand up! (so we can’t give up the fight! )
Stand up for your rights! (lord, lord! )
Get up, stand up! (keep on struggling on! )
Don’t give up the fight! (yeah! )
We sick an’ tired of-a your ism-skism game -
Dyin’ ‘n’ goin’ to heaven in-a Jesus’ name, lord.
We know when we understand:
Almighty god is a living man.
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you can’t fool all the people all the time.
So now we see the light (what you gonna do?),
We gonna stand up for our rights! (yeah, yeah, yeah! )
So you better:
Get up, stand up! (in the morning! git it up! )
Stand up for your rights! (stand up for our rights! )
Get up, stand up!
Don’t give up the fight! (don’t give it up, don’t give it up! )
Get up, stand up! (get up, stand up! )

Get up, stand up! (… )
Don’t give up the fight! (get up, stand up! )
Get up, stand up! (… )
Stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up!
Don’t give up the fight!
