​MY FELLOW AMERICANS       





MY NAMES IS  ​ BISHOP JAKE DAVIS BELLAMY

BORN AND RAISED IN THE BACK WOODS OF NORTH MYRTLE BEACH ,SOUTH CAROLINA FEBRUARY 13, 1951 WORKING ON THE FAMILY FARM IN THE TOBACCO FIELDS,COTTON FIELDS,AND CORN FIELDS. ALSO, LIKE MANY AMERICANS GROWING UP IN A BLACK AND WHITE SOCIETY I BELIEVE DR. ERIC BERNE'S  BOOK "THE GAMES PEOPLE PLAY" STATE IT BEST "WE ARE BORN PRINCES AND PRINCESSES AND PEOPLE TURN US INTO LITTLE FROGS". FURTHERMORE, I BELIEVE THAT THE DATING GAME  OF  DESTINY OF THE 50'S RACIAL EXCLUSION AND THE  60'S RACIAL INCLUSION GAVE BIRTH TO THE TWINS "THE FLOWER CHILDERN" AND "THE BLACK POWER CHILDERN"; THAT NEW FOUND "FREE LOVE","FREE SEX,"FREE DRUGS" GAVE BIRTH TO ,  " CHILDERN OF COLORS" THAT BECAME THE "MAGNIFICENCE OTHERS" IN WEDLOCK, WOODSTOCK,PUNK ROCK AND THEIR  DESCENDANTS IS HERE IN OUR PRESENT TIME OF 2013  NAMED "THE HIP-HOP CHILDERN".THEREFORE, I  WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IT PLAIN AND RENAME THEIR PARENTS  GENERATION TO  "THE JONNY APPLE SEED GENERATION " BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE SEEDS THAT WAS SOWED DID FALL ON ME. AFTER HIGH SCHOOL I ENLISTED IN THE US ARMY 05 JAN.1970 SERVING AS A MEDICAL CORPSMAN IN  GERMANY. HOWEVER, AFTER GETTING OUT OF THE ARMY LIKE MANY VIETNAM VETERANS AND AMERICANS (YOUNG AND OLD) I BEGAN TO FALL THROUGH THE RABBIT HOLE OF TROUBLE LIKE DORTHY IN THE "WIZARD OF OZ" BUT  I LANDED IN SOUTH CAROLINA STATE PRISON  IN THE NOTORIOUS CCI IN COLUMBIA,SC. JAILED  DEC.23,1974  AT THE AGE OF 23 AND SENTENCED JAN. 1975 TO 19 YEARS FOR ARMED ROBBERY , I WOKE UP AS SCDC# 59233 LOCKED UP IN "CELLBLOCK ONE" A " GRANITE  CELL (TOMB )"  IN THE PIT OF HELL. ( seelink )  http://www.chicora.org/pdfs/RC509.pdf  and  http://www.palmettohistory.org/exhibits/cci/cci.htm   THERE I WAS TRAPPED IN THE PENAL SYSTEM .    (UN SAVED AND ON MY WAY TO A EVERLASTING HELL) WITH REAL DEVILS LIKE "DONALD (pee wee) GASKIN             (see this link )  http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Henry_Gaskin    (who came in after me). HOWEVER, DURING THAT TIME SOMETHING MIRACULOUS HAPPENED AND MY MIND WAS CONSUMED WITH A THIRST THAT WAS POWERFUL AND DEMANDING TO READ AND A CHRISTIAN GUARD GAVE ME A  BIBLE WHICH I BEGAN READING AND I BELIEVE TO THIS DAY THAT THE LORD WAS SHEPHERDING  ME   FROM THE PRISON TO THE PULPIT ... FROM THE  CONVICT TO  CONVERT... FROM  THE BIBLE TO THE BISHOP.AMEN.

​

MY FELLOW AMERICANS (38) YEARS LATER LOOKING BACK AT THE AGE OF 61 YEARS OLD ( with my wife ,three daughters,and three grand children ) WHEN I STOOD BEFORE THE STATE PAROLE BOARD THAT DAY THEY DID NOT WANT TO KNOW THE FOLLOWING:

1.HOW MANY CRIES AND SCREAMS OF YOUNG MEN I HEARD AS THEY WERE BEING BEATEN AND  RAPED IN THE MIDNIGHT HOURS,OR HOW MANY BODIES FELL FROM LIFE TO DEATH AT THE HANDS OF PRISON VIOLENCE MOSTLY IN CCI " TUNNEL OF DEATH ",OR  HOW MANY BIBLES AND LAW BOOKS I STUDIED WHILE WRITING AND FIGHTING FOR 3 YEARS BEFORE I WON THE RIGHT UNDER A FEDERAL PROGRAM "prisoner to prisoner  exchange"TO BE HOUSED IN N.J.  .THEREFORE, IN 1977 I WAS MOVED FROM S.C.STATE PRISON  TO RAHWAY STATE  PRISON IN RAHWAY, N.J. WHERE I MET  MY FRIEND JOHN ARTIE and the " LIFERS" THAT FOUNDED NATIONALLY AIRED "SCARE STRAIGHT" PROGRAM . HOWEVER,IN THE LATER PART OF 1979 WE  WERE TRANSFERRED TO LEES BURG STATE PRISON FARM IN LEESBURG  , N.J.  WHERE WE PLAYED TENNIS WHILE  ATTENDING THE PRISON COLLEGE  PROGRAM; JOHN WENT TO GLASSBORO STATE  COLLEGE AND I WENT TO MERCER COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

NOW AFTER ENTERING  THE 7 th YEAR IN PRISON AND AT LAST  STANDING BEFORE THE  DOOR TO  FREEDOM THESE WORDS WERE SPOKEN " MR. BELLAMY WE ARE RECOMMENDING YOU FOR PAROLE BECAUSE YOUR RECORD SPEAKS FOR ITSELF" AND THAT  WAS THE DAY" THE LAST SENTENCE" WAS BORN IN MY HEART AS A MINISTRY WHICH WILL FOREVER BE MY LOT  UNTO THE LORD BECAUSE I KNOW THERE IS ANOTHER GREAT DAY WHEN MY RECORD WILL SPEAK FOR ME.

​

2.FUTHERMORE, I AM LED AS I BELIEVE THAT THE REMAINING 6 YEARS ON PAROLE WERE MY DESPAIRING YEARS WHICH HEWED ME OUT TO BECOME A STONE OF HOPE BECAUSE I COULD SEE GOD's WiII MOVING IN MY LIFE. I WENT TO LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA  AND THERE THE LORD TOUCHED MR. H.B. BARNUM'S  (PRODUCER,ARRANGER AND CONDUCTOR WITH A PARTIAL LIST OF SOME 120 GOLD RECORDS ) HEART AND HE TOOK ME IN HIS FAMILY AND SPONSORED ME AND WORKED WITH THE PAROLE BOARD UNTIL I WAS RELEASED IN 1986.

​

3.NEXT CAME THE RIOTS OF 1992 IN  LOS ANGELES WHEN CONFUSION AND TROUBLE BECAME A THREAT TO HUMAN LIVES ,THEN A  PEACE MAKER WAS NEEDED. THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BLACK CARPENTERS  ASSOCIATION INC. FOUNDED
