While I've been off doing my own thing Rihanna has continued with the
European leg of her Diamonds World Tour largely free from the fire and
fury of international diplomacy. Frankly it's almost as if everyone has
had something more exciting to talk about. On Monday (10/6/13) Rihanna
kicks off the UK/G8 leg of the tour in Cardiff, Wales, UK. As
Rihanna has not been in contact to make an appointment I will not be
joining up with her during this portion of the tour. On one level this
is great news because at this point I wouldn't know where to begin. On
another this is a huge disappointment because I feel I've earned the
right to try and drink the lot of them under the table.
Politically Monday will be a very important day because it also sees
Chris Brown return to a Los Angeles Court room to hear Judge Gluber's
assessment of the mysterious sealed envelope of evidence that was
presented to him at the previous hearing on April 5th (5/4/13). As I've
explained many times before unless this new evidence has been able to
explain how Chris Brown was able to be completing community service in
West Virginia while at the same time appearing in front of hundreds of
witnesses in California Judge Gluber has no option other than to indict
Chris Brown on multiple felony counts including perverting the course of
justice, fraud, bribing public officials and the original 2009 assault
on Rihanna. Sadly all the indications are that this will not happen and
the CIA will continue to protect Chris Brown because they still view
their operation to be viable. Therefore I think the best we can hope for
is a further continuance of the case.
To me this seems to be a horrific mistake because all the available
information indicates that the Chris Brown operation has already failed.
Therefore continuing will at best damage the US' reputation and
standing in the world. At worst it will allow the US' rivals to gain a
greater insight into how the US' intelligence agencies operate.
Take as an example Rihanna's recent visit to Turkey. On May 30th Rihanna sailed into Istanbul
aboard a yacht. This was intended to promote discussion about whether
Rihanna's tour equipment will be flown to future far away concerts such
as South Africa at great expense or whether they will be using the
cheaper option of putting them aboard a container ship. Unfortunately
just as Rihanna was arriving in Turkey waves of violent protest and
rioting broke out across the country meaning that no-one was talking
about Rihanna. Instead what they were talking about were all the other
social pressures and triggers that lead to widespread rioting and
popular uprisings. This helped to thoroughly dispel the myth that
Rihanna was in some way responsible for the UK's August 2011 riots and
the so-called 'Arab Spring.' This myth is of course the justification
the CIA has been using for trying to destroy Rihanna by sending her off
on this idiotic tour and forcing her into an abusive and destructive
relationship with Chris Brown.
The US though should be far more worried by the reaction from China who
they perceive to be their main rivals. In the past week China agreed to
allow Rihanna to perform in the country on September 13 2013 (13/9/13).
On the face of it this would give the impression that the Chinese are so
confused by what is going on with Rihanna and Chris Brown that they
feel the need to have her in their country so they can inspect her close
up. This would obviously encourage the US to carry on with the
operation by making them think it is being successful. However if you
look more closely the concert is set to take place in Macau which
has long had a reputation as a gamblers paradise. Therefore the message
from the Chinese to the US seems to be; "Feel free to go ahead with the
Rihanna operation. If you feel lucky."
The news of Rihanna's Macau concert was followed up by a fire on a bus
in Xiamen, Fujian that killed 47 people. This came just as the US were
forcing us all to guess if Rihanna's tour caravan had been able to
successfully cross the border between Belgium and France. The news that a
bus was on fire was intended to be interpreted as a further sign of
panic from China over the Rihanna operation in order to encourage the US
to continue. However this could also be interpreted as a sign of
friendship with China gently warning the US that the plan was in ruins
so they'd be best advised to stop. This was of course disguised with
lots of talk about arson which is an element of my legal exploits and
the news that the lead suspect Chen Shuizong carried out the attack in
order to vent his anger against society about his unhappy life which
touches on the whole gun control debate that has been raging between the
US and China for more than a year now. By comparison the US' response -
the mass shooting in Santa Monica which targeted a bus amongst other
things - just made the US look sad and weak although they were trying so
hard to be tough and strong.
As for Rihanna herself with the Berdon LLP case ongoing and the Inland
Revenue Service (IRS) audit hanging over her head it is really not my
place to speak for her. However what I've seen recently I think I speak
for us all when I say; "We'd be much happier if at least the restraining
order was re-instated on Monday."
Well that was rubbish. I'm clearly out of pratice and the beer for lunch probably didn't help.
14:35 on 9/6/13.
Edited at around 19:35 on 9/6/13 to add;
It seems an appropriate time to mention that if you took my commenting
on Rihanna's attendance at the 2011 Canadian Grand Prix as evidence of
my obsession with Rihanna you would have been wrong. Once we'd not only
been shown footage of Rihanna eating her lunch but also slow motion
action replays of Rihanna eating her lunch we decided that the race
broadcaster had really run out of things to show.
So no the 2013 Canadian Grand Prix wasn't the most boring race ever. In
fact that little tussle between Hamilton and Alonso for second place in
the final laps almost bordered on the exciting. It does highlight the
problem with DRS though. In the old days a situation like that would
have led to lap after lap of tense drama while we all tried to work out
if the guy behind would be able to over take. These days it's just a
question of when they'll be able to overtake.
