The Son's Of God had boots on the ground in Moss Point , MS for the Nolan Wells protest to show unity and to teach our people who we are according to the Bible.

So for all of you bought and paid for Apologetics, Fake Pastors, wanna be content creators and some of you Israelite Camps where y'all at? I know, at home watching the Cartoon Network.

Latest update: July 18, 2026

This pancocojams post presents information about Nolan Wells, the African American teen that drown early July 2026 under suspicious circumstances.

This post presents the lyrics of "Hey Hey Nolan Wells" that are included in the captions of one of the videos of the march in which that cadence was chanted.

My conclusions about what the lyrics of that cadence mean and why that cadence was composed. 

Much of this pancocojams post focuses on the fact that online documentation indicates that the "Hey Hey Nolan Wells" cadence was composed by and first chanted by men who are part of a Mississippi group of Black Hebrew Israelites.

The content of this post is presented for historical and socio-cultural purposes.

Thanks to the composers of this non-military commemorative cadence. Thanks to all those who are quoted in this post and thanks to all those who are providing support and help to Nolan Wells' family and friends. Rest in peace and power, Nolan Wells.

DISCLAIMER #1
The cadence "Hey Hey Nolan Wells" appears to have been composed by members of a Black Hebrew Israelite congregation (also known as Hebrew Israelites).

This pancocojams post doesn't state or imply that Nolan Wells or his family were Black Hebrew Israelites. I believe that the protest march in Ocean Springs, Mississippi and in Moss Point, Mississippi on July 12, 2026 was open to community participants. The group of Black Hebrew Israelites participated in that march as members of that community.

****
DISCLAIMER #2
The cadence "Hey Hey Nolan Wells" appears to have been composed by members of a Black Hebrew Israelite congregation (also known as Hebrew Israelites).

I have never been a member of that religious denomination. Furthermore, I don't know anyone who is now or has ever been a member of that religious denomination.

I only know about that denomination via the internet.

I welcome any additions and corrections about the information about Black Hebrew Israelites that is given in this pancocojams post.

SOME INFORMATION ABOUT NOLAN WELLS
From https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/what-we-know-about-death-of-nolan-wells-black-teen-who-went-missing-on-mississippi-boat-trip "What we know about death of Nolan Wells, Black teen who went missing on Mississippi boat trip" By Maria Ramirez Uribe, Jul 10, 2026
"The family of Nolan Wells, a Black teenager who was found dead after going missing on an island in Mississippi, made an emotional plea Friday for an honest, thorough investigation in a case that has captured national attention over its unanswered questions.

[...]

Wells, an 18-year-old described by his parents as having a big heart, went out on a boat with three friends who were white on July 4 before going missing. His body was found on July 6.

[...]

Authorities have said they believe Wells drowned and don't suspect foul play.

Throughout the news conference, Crump described "glaring contradictions" in the witnesses' accounts of Wells' disappearance, related to whether he stayed on or left the island, why he didn't have his phone with him and the very idea that a young athlete who knew how to swim would drown.

[…]

Wells-Wonsley said she tracked down her son's phone using Life 360 and found the phone on land at one of his friends' houses who had been on the boat with him.

"What teenager would leave their phone behind if they're gonna stay on this island?" Crump asked.

Wells-Wonsley said she believes messages were deleted off her son's phone after finding no saved photos or videos on Snapchat from that day. She said that was concerning because it would be unusual for her son not to capture the day on his phone.”…

BLACK HEBREW ISRAELITES AND THE COMMEMORATIVE CADENCE "HEY HEY NOLAN WELLS"
The first documented performance of the non-military cadence "Hey Hey Nolan Wells" is by a group of Hebrew Israelite men during the July 12, 2026 community protest march in Ocean Springs, Mississippi and in Moss Point, Mississippi.  

The website for the group marching and chanting is given in Showcase video #1 as www.israelunite.org. That group's name is Israel United In Christ (IUIC).

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT BLACK HEBREW ISRAELITES

From AI Overview [retrieved July 15, 2026] 

"AI Overview
Black Hebrew Israelites are a decentralized religious movement whose followers believe that African Americans and other minority groups are the true, genealogical descendants of the ancient Israelites. Emerging in the late 19th century, the diverse movement combines elements of Christianity, Judaism, and their own cultural interpretations

While the movement is diverse, here is an overview of its core beliefs and history:

Core Beliefs

Lineage and Heritage: Followers believe that the Transatlantic slave trade was a literal fulfillment of biblical curses (such as Deuteronomy 28), which scattered the true Israelites into slavery across the globe.

Theological Focus: Many factions assert that Jesus and the ancient Israelites were people of color, and that mainstream Jewish people are not the true descendants of Abraham.

Practices: Adherence to this philosophy varies widely; many sects observe Sabbath on Saturdays, adopt Hebrew names, and incorporate traditional dietary laws"

INFORMATION ABOUT ISRAEL UNITED IN CHRIST
From AI Overview (July 18, 2026)
"Israel United in Christ (IUIC) is a prominent, fundamentalist organization within the Black Hebrew Israelite (BHI) movement, rather than a traditional Christian denomination. They identify Black, Hispanic, and Native American people as the true biblical Israelites, focusing their teachings on the Old and New Testaments and strict adherence to the Law of Moses.

Theologically, IUIC operates under the "One West Camp" lineage, differing drastically from mainstream Christianity regarding the concept of the "Sons of God." While traditional Christians view all believers in Jesus Christ as children of God, IUIC's mission focuses on gathering the "elect" men of the 12 tribes, specifically emphasizing the awakening of the 144,000. They believe that this elect group must live righteously to prepare for the return of Christ and the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven.

IUIC has faced significant criticism from mainstream faith traditions and civil rights monitors due to its dogmatic and sometimes exclusionary stances on race, salvation, and other religious groups. Major watchdog organizations, such as the Anti-Defamation League, have designated certain sects within this movement as extremist groups."

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE MEN WHO WERE VIDEOTAPED/PHOTOGRAPHED CHANTING "HEY HEY NOLAN WELLS" AT THAT MISSISSIPPI PROTEST MARCH
I've come several videos and one Facebook photograph collage of Black men who are members of a Black Hebrew Israelite congregation chanting "Hey Hey Nolan Wells" in an Ocean Springs, Mississippi community protest march. I have also come across several Instagram posts about this group of Black Hebrew Israelite men chanting "Hey Hey Nolan Wells".

This group of men from the Black Hebrew In Christ congregation participated in that city's protest march on July 12, 2026 that was held to support the demand for justice for the tragic death of Black American teen Nolan Wells who lived in that community.

Based on some of the videos that I watched, it appears that around one hundred young adults or middle aged Black men from the Israel United In Christ congregation participated in that city's protest event by marching down that city's main street in military formation.

The largest portion of that group wore black pants and a purple shirt with the words "Israel Unido En Christo" (Spanish for "Israel United In Christ") written in gold letters. One man from that group walking besides that group of marchers wore a red vest on top of his shirt. A smaller number of men wore black pants with black shirts that had the group's name written in white letters.  All of the men wore black boots. Most of the men wore sun glasses.

In one video that I watched one man carried a long walking stick. Another man appears to be carrying a speaker on his back, and one man [the caller for their cadence] spoke into a small hand held microphone.

None of the group carried any signs or banners. In spite of their military formation, the group had no weapons. And- in stark contrast to the White supremist who marched in Washington, D. C. on July 4, 2026- the Black men in that Black Hebrew Israelite group didn't cover their face with a mask.

DESCRIPTION OF THE "HEY HEY NOLAN WELLS" CADENCE
The cadence "Hey Hey Nolan Well" is modeled after thr call & response textual (word) structure as United States call & response military cadences ("jodies") in which the calls chants a line and the troops repeat that exact same line or another short line.

The tune for the commemorative cadence "Hey Hey Nolan Wells" is similar to the United States military cadence "Hey Hey Captain Jack". Click  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IborDZYkXU4&list=RDIborDZYkXU4&start_radio=1 "Hey, Hey Captain Jack (Special Forces) Documentary Recordings, Aug 30, 2016 for an sound file of that U.S. Army cadence.

The video versions of "Hey Hey Nolan Wells" that I've come across have a moderate tempo.

PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTES ABOUT THIS CADENCE

1. This cadence provides an opportunity for this group of Black men in that community to honor the life of Nolan Wells and "show up and show out" (show up to support his family and friends in a very powerful and memorable way). 

This non-military cadence is modeled after United States military cadences (also known as "jodies". "Jodies" are call & response compositions that were first created during World War I by African American army Private Willie Duckworth.

**
2. This cadence provides an opportunity for members of that religious group to assure Nolan Wells' family and friends that they and others in the community supports their efforts to seek justice in this case..
**
3. This cadence includes lyrics that testify to the group's religious beliefs, including that God being "on the way" (meaning "God is coming soon") to bring justice in this case and for other reasons.
