Washington Sniper Vs. Killarmy

Cryptic letter tied to violent rap lyrics

October 25, 2002


A letter left by the snipers behind a Virginia Ponderosa restaurant, the site of one of the non-fatal shootings, contained mysterious markings and what were described as Jamaican colloquialisms. One of the suspects in the sniper killings is from Jamaica.

Drawn on the page were five stars, which some investigators thought was a reference to a Jamaican band. But there does not appear to be any Jamaican band named Five Star. The letter also contained the phrase "word is bond." An Internet search links the phrase to a black militant rap group, Killarmy, a band discovered by Wu-Tang Clan, a favorite in Jamaica.

One of their songs, "Five Stars," speaks of "bullets penetrating. Deep like the assassination that almost killed Reagan." The song also mentions snipers. The phrase "word is bond" appears in the group's song "Wake Up."

Killarmy has come under fire from critics who have chastised the group's violent message. In many songs, they speak of a racial war and their support for "racial Armageddon." Band members have roles such as "Marksman Assassin of Killarmy" and "Street Specialist Trained in Urban Warfare

bah, deze onzin maakt me ziek, de idiote amerikanen doen alles om hip hop aan banden te leggen, het zou zogenaamd 'gewelddadig' zijn en dit soort mensen beïnvloeden, ronduit idioot gewoon, eerst Gulliani met zn idiote uitspraken dat hip hop verbannen moest worden en nu dit..

trouwens de term 'word is bond' wordt al sinds de oorsprong van hip hop gebruikt, een beetje dom(en Cru) van de FBI om dit dan meteen te koppelen aan de eerste zogenaamde 'gewelddadige' tekst die ze tegenkomen..

Percenters And Sniper:

By Nolan Strong

According to a report from the Associated Press, authorities are investigating whether sniper suspect John Muhammad was a member of the 5 Percent Nation, a religious group that the report says has influenced numerous rappers over the years, naming Brand Nubian, Wu-Tang Clan and Busta Rhymes.

"How the f*ck they going to associate me wit the sniper?" Busta Rhymes told AllHipHop.com. "The government been know about the Five Percent Nation. They trying to disort the public perception because we anti-what they are about!"


Busta has a song called "Struttin' like a G.O.D.," on his soon to be released album, It Aint Safe No More. The song is about 'empowerment' dedicated to Malcom X, Martin Luther King Jr., Farrakahn and other black leaders. On that album, Busta said he has references to the recent sniper attacks.

While it is a known fact that Muhammad was a member of Louis Farrakhan's Nation Of Islam, detectives said that the letter left at the scene of one of the sniper's shootings contained lingo that is used by followers of the 5 Percent Nation, which was founded almost 39 years ago as an off shoot of the Nation Of Islam. The group rejects drug use and fornication and teaches the importance of the family.

The group teaches that black people are the original people of the planet earth and are the fathers and mothers of civilization. Black men are referred to as God's (derived from the word ALLAH: Arm, Leg, Leg, Arm, Head). They also teach that the science of "Supreme Mathematics is the key to understanding man's relationship to the universe."

While they are not Muslim's, they do believe that Islam is a way of life, however the group claims it is not a religion. The group officially states that their intended goal is to achieve peace.

The sniper's letter demanded that authorities refer to him as God. Authorities are also basing their investigation into these ties because the letter also used the phrase, "word is bond,'' a very popular that has been around for decades.

"He calls himself God and uses 'word is bond', like that's exclusive to one culture," Busta continued. "I dont believe that it was them [the suspects]. They can push whatever they want. They are blaming anybody because they people was not having it."


The letter also had five stars on the page, which a detective said were similar to stars that symbolized children to followers of the movement.

In the media frenzy that has followed the sniper shootings, authorities are also questioning his ties to Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan, who publicly stated that he feels authorities are going to arrest him, or that he may even fall victim to an assassination attempt, denied his organization supports terror or any violent activities. Farrakhan has been accused of inciting anti-government sentiment, due to his vocal opposition to the looming war with Iraq.

"It is horrific for us to learn that someone who once was a part of our ranks may be involved in something as horrific as this," Farrakhan told AllHipHop.com in a press statement. "I respectfully say to the members of the media and to the American people, Timothy McVeigh confessed that he was a Christian but nobody blames the church for his misconduct. Ninety-five percent of the nearly two million inmates in the prison system in the United States will tell you, if you ask them 'what is your faith?' they will say, 'I’m Christian.' But no one would blame Jesus or their pastor for their behavior that is contrary to the teachings of Jesus."
