Toronto floods.
Seriously I wish I could make these things up.
Yesterday the UK Queen sent a message of support to her subjects in
Canada following the Lac-Magantic, Quebec oil train crash. Unusually
quite a lot of effort was made to make sure people internationally were
aware that this message was sent. This was intended to make it appear as
though the Monarch supported the Canadian effort to encourage the US to
support the Egyptian revolution. However if you actually read the
message it talks of a "great sadness" and ends with rather ominous talk
of the Queen's thoughts and prayers. Therefore it seemed to be an effort
to remind the Canadians of whose side they're supposed to be on while
the UK seeks permission from the Gulf Monarchies to support the Egyptian
revolution. Perhaps the UK is unaware that Canada may have another
extra large reason for encouraging the US to become less dependent of
middle-eastern oil. Shortly after the Queen's message was sent a months
worth of rain was dumped on the Canadian city of Toronto in a matter of
hours leading to flash flooding, widespread property damage and people
having to be rescued from their cars and public transport such as
trains. That certainly gives the impression of God or the weather
countermanding the Queen's wishes on at least the global warming part of
the story.
Today in a further effort to give the impression of supporting the
Egyptian revolution the UK grounded a large proportion of the air
traffic across the south of the country citing a technical fault in an
air traffic control. I of course yesterday said that I was trying to
keep Internet traffic down in an effort calm the situation in Egypt.
Although this looks suspiciously like an attempt to force itself into
the San Francisco 777 Asiana plane crash the reason the UK sent the
message is that in response to my scheduled telephone call with the
police yesterday a few other UK police forces had a few planned.
Firstly a suspected Fathers 4 Justice campaigner barricaded himself in a
house in a flat in Kidlington in Oxfordshire. Although his two twin two
year old daughters were released after around 9 hours the siege
continued until the time I started writing this post (approx 15:00) when
the man gave himself up and was arrested. This was intended to promote
discussion about why Croydon police hadn't sent a large number of
officers to drag me out of my house at dawn. Although the Crown still
insists on denying me the firepower I would need to stop them doing
something like that the main reason is that after doing so the police
would eventually have to account for their actions. As I'm not on bail,
there's no evidence I've not committed any crime and I'm in contact with
complying with all lawful requests from the police it would be quite
difficult for them to justify something like that. Also the incident
forced the chronically under worked Oxfordshire firearms team to get all
their toys out leaving them looking like extras from the Canadian TV
show "Flashpoint."
Secondly Greater Manchester police designated roads from where members
of the public will be allowed to view the funeral of Lee Rigby - the
soldier who was killed in the Woolwich murder. This raises the question
over whether the occupants of 50 Beechwood have lawful authority to
place me under covert surveillance. That is quite a short argument that
has already been ruled on. They may not conduct medical experiments
without the informed consent of the test subjects and they may not
conduct medical experiments where the test subjects are at risk of death
under any circumstances. Therefore presenting an authority for such an
act merely incriminates the person who signed that authority up to and
including the Queen or other head of state. Apparently the police in
Greater Manchester are still looking for a way to Cope.
As for the San Francisco 777 Asiana plane crash it's so obvious even the
French have worked it out. It was simply an attempt to give the US
striking visual metaphor for the state of their Rihanna/Chris Brown
operation ahead of Chris Brown's upcoming July 15th (15/7/13) Court
appearance. The emotionally charged first responders press conference
yesterday was a US attempt to apologise/explain for the killing of one
of the two Chinese victims of the crash by a fire truck amid the initial
chaos that always follows an incident of this type. The much more
measured and professional press conference given by a member of the
flight crew later was intended to be the Koreans confirming that they
were either aiming for zero fatalities or American fatalities. After all
the US has p*ssed off quite a lot of people over the last five or so
months.
Rihanna's tour has sort of been trundling on without out much to mention
save for a growing number of complaints from fans following late and
poor performances. On Friday (5/7/13) Rihanna appeared at the Roskilde
festival in Denmark. Being a festival performance the set-list was
different, there was no real stage set and Rihanna was free to chose one
outfit to wear throughout her performance. She 'chose' a oversize
baseball jersey and headscarf combination that resembled the traditional
dress worn by men in middle-eastern nation the name of which
infuriatingly escapes me at this point. This was supposed to be a
reference to entirely untrue rumour that Rihanna was ordered to dress
demurely by organisers of Mawazine festival in Morocco in order to
avoiding Islamic modesty standards. As you may have picked up on during
the Allah cartoon scandal Denmark is not exactly a pro-Islam nation.
Rihanna's choice of outfit was designed to promote discussion in order
to discover how widely that attitude is shared throughout the nation's
youth.
On Sunday (7/7/13) Rihanna decided to go to a crowded public beach in
Poland and then complained when she was mobbed by fans. The idea here
was to promote discussion about attitudes within former Soviet bloc
nations such as Poland and the European Union (EU) which Poland is
desperately trying to join. Having been grown up in a country that never
saw Soviet rule I get to talk with celebrities like Rihanna on an
almost daily basis and frankly have started to find them a bit annoying.
However in newly freed nations such as Poland people get much more
excited about western celebrities like Rihanna. Therefore her little
beach stunt was intended to promote discussion about how excited people
in eastern European nations get about other western icons such as EU
membership. Basically it was the US trying to force its way into the EU
versus Russia debate that was so central to the Eurovision Song Contest.
16:05 on 9/7/13.
And promptly edited at 16:10 on 9/7/13 as I remembered what I was trying to say;
Anyway how is Ramadan watch going? The UK say it was yesterday, France
and the US say it's today. Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf Nations say
it's tomorrow. I think Egypt starts tomorrow and I'm a bit worried that
it might drive the protests nocturnal when people seem more likely to be
violent.
