A few years ago I read The Diana-Morrissey Phenomenon, an in-depth article which details many synchronicities between Princess Diana and Morrissey, mainly in regard to the Smith's album, The Queen is Dead, a recording which the author believes prophesied Diana's death. I thought no more about it until today.Then came along two Prince William stories; the first his semi-secret visit to Ireland yesterday, Shrove Tuesday (the beginning of the "Easter Resurrection " season); the second an announcement that he is to visit both New Zealand and Oz to see the disaster zones of Christchurch and Queensland respectively.
Meanwhile, a third story reported that over in California, a marine disaster has occurred: millions of sardines, anchovies and mackerel washed up dead at King Harbor Marina, Redondo Beach, Los Angeles.
Now, Morrissey released a cover version of a track, Redondo Beach, on a double A side along with "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" in 2005 - the latter being originally featuring on the Smith's album, The Queen is Dead. From the link above re this particular song:
Here, on the only Smiths single released exclusively to France, we have two people on a romantic date, at night, in the city, driving in a car. They fantasize about getting killed together in a car crash and mention is made of being gripped by fear in an underpass. The song concludes with Morrissey repeating that “there is a light that never goes out”.
Ten years later, we have Princess Diana with Mr. Dodi Fayed in France: two people on a romantic date, at night, in the city, driving in a car. They actually do get killed together in a car crash and the fearful event does occur in an underpass. It happens to be the underpass that goes directly beneath the Flame of Liberty, “a light that never goes out”.
So, we have the Prince out and about in Ireland for Lent and an announcement he is to visit disaster-zones Christchurch and Queensland, whilst a sardine disaster occurs in King's Harbour, Los Angeles, on a beach which gives title to a song which Morrissey covered as a double AA side with "There is a Light which never goes out".
Someone else who's light never extinguishes is St. Lucy, a Christian martyr who's name is derived from lux, lucis, "light" (wiki) . Her "Day" is the 13th of December, once thought to be the shortest day of the year and hence celebrated as a "lightbringing" event. The original version of Redondo Beach was by Patti Smith (nothing to do with The Smiths), and released on her album, Horses, on December 13th 1975.
At the back of my mind is this terrible thought that come 21/12/2012 and the end of the age of Pisces (the fishes), light loving Lucifer (Prince William) will appear on TV, reassuring people that the giant alien craft which hovers above the Earth is benevolent. Humans are soon gathered up to it by an unknown force, where upon extra-terrestrials grab, butcher, and deep fry them. Once they have cooled they are squashed together in tins and oil added. Within a couple of alien months (2000 of our years), they will be on a supermarket shelf, somewhere in another solar system.

What a hairraising nightmare of a story! Still, I like reading your stories.
British cynical humor at its best.
Loved it.
Very uncanny story, indeed (enjoyed your pun and always your thoughts!)
"Meanwhile, a third story reported that over in California, a marine disaster has occurred: millions of sardines, anchovies and mackerel washed up dead at King Harbor Marina, Redondo Beach, Los Angeles."
this area will probably receive a relatively small tsumani today from the 8.9 japan quake
the faunal death anticipates the quake, connecting to the christ/church quake ... which, in fact, crunched pretty much all the (non)churches in that town
big damage to queensland only mild waves at king's harbor (pick ya hoss)
the sea creatures dead, like rev 21refracting backwards in time
"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away; and the sea is no more"

I think there is definitely a symbolical connection between the destruction of Christ's church (Christchurch) and the death of the fish.. In Greek the initials of Jesus Christ's name, Iesous Christos Theou Huios Soter (Jesus Christ Son of God, the Saviour) spell the word fish (ichtus) so it's only logical that after the destruction of His church to try and destroy the little fish, His followers, too...
And then again on the 11th of the months, we have the water offerings (not burnt this time as we are about to enter the age of the Aquarius) to the water rising beast which will fulfill what has been foretold...
And then we have Wills going to sniff the stench of cadavers in the affected areas.. btw, why is he visiting the death places again??
Love this! That is one of the better Diana concepts out there if you ask me. You have added a very interesting new twist on it. Keep it coming!
Wondering what Japan and SuperMoon will bring!?

better that than pasta-baked
"Once they have cooled they are squashed together in tins and oil added. Within a couple of alien months (2000 of our years), they will be on a supermarket shelf, somewhere in another solar system."
"Once they have cooled"?
??
yes well sounds like you have, ah, quite thought the matter through, newspaceman!
i'd say "well-done" but it'd be redundiant

Raphael: "so it's only logical that after the destruction of His church to try and destroy the little fish, His followers, too..."
absolutely, good observation
christchurch quake, like other recent ones, connected to animal die-offs, and warns the little fish (of them Ragion Nations lol)
last year, bout the time of the chile and haiti quakes, japanese fishermen were finding oarfish in their nets (a snake-like, and usually v deep, creature)
in trad japanese lore, oarfish surface ahead of quakes
christ/church, christ has separated from churches false in his name, split like japanese terra ... churches already rotten within, collapsing at the first good shake
cheers

ps hi todd, agree this comes under the general diana/demeter heading, as the post did so well connecting threads: diana/queensland quake/princely "visit"/queen is dead
Whistler, Jimbo, cheers
Ray, first off I never thought of that rationale, many thanks. I have a lot of time for animal/fish/bird instinct, Tarka the Otter speaks volumes, and, thought about laterally, may answer Raphael's cadaver haunting Royal escapade question. According to Charles St. John in his "Wild Sports and Natural History of the Highlands", ravens will travel thousands of miles to feast on a beached whale. They will arrive fairly promptly too, and not just one or two pairs. No one knows how they know.
In the olden days, some thought that if, for example, one was bothered with rats, then one simply trapped a rat live, then tortured it to death, as horrifically as possible. The "vibes" left in the area of the mutilation would ensure that no other rats came near for perhaps ever. Humans of course often are walking, maybe even working, over sites where, potentially and factually, great evil has taken place. One wonders if this process helps to disassociate them in some manner.
Ray, also, you maybe missed the detail in the picture in the Olympic poetry wall post. There are no men visible, although plenty short skirted schoolgirls.
Todd, good to hear from you. Been a long time. Thanks. Re Japan and supermoon - be looking to Celtic's Nakamura, given the content of my last post.
Incidentally, that whole old firm thing is going to lead to some sort of internet censorship thing over here, or so it seems. One can see where it will end.
cheers
Wow, what a read! I just had to post. You gave me goose bumps when I read about people being squashed and served like sardines. I hope you don't mind me sharing the following, but after what you wrote, I feel compelled to.
I had a very vivid dream years and years ago. I found myself on an alien planet, and I was at the entrance of a factory. Some robotic/human hybrid -ish looking beings were forcing people who were screaming and crying to go through this door. I was wondering why. These people looked like ordinary humans. As I wondered why, I suddenly found myself inside the door. I saw a huge machine. And what my eyes focused on next had me puking in my dream, and my whole body shivering in sheer terror. These people, as they were shoved through the door were grabbed and put on this massive machine. And as plants and trees and flowers are my witness, these people were filleted automatically on the machine and put in tins. And I said to myself, 'oh my god!' they are tinning people just like sardines.
Suddenly, one of these robotic hybrids grabbed me and told me I was next. Immediately someone came up behind me and said, "Not her, she has three moles, she belongs to the something family." I cant remember the name of the family. At this statement, the robot guy looked terrified, and told me to leave quickly! At that moment I awoke in a panic! It seemed so real. It did not make much sense till after all these years I came upon your post by sheer co-incidence...or maybe not co-incidence.
Regards,Diana
"Humans of course often are walking, maybe even working, over sites where, potentially and factually, great evil has taken place. One wonders if this process helps to disassociate them in some manner."
sure -- and humans are still traumatized by having their eyes opened prematurely -- those dissonances make the species susceptible to unwholesome suggestion, and deluded with humanism
i've visited places and cities on the u.s. east coast that reek of evil, malaise -- like walking thru oatmeal
i've also seen otties demand to leave certain archaic buildings that are resonanced, soaked in old traumas, and shore nuff ten minutes later ive got a headache
good post, gotta kick from yr sardine rap

Diana, thanks, I hope it was just a dream and not some sort of prophecy. I suppose it could well happen, certainly the "farming" aspect seems pertinent to today's world.
Thanks Ray, never got the maypole ritual, makes sense. Great explanation. Looking at that Olympic clock, 7/6/56 is the birthdate of L.A. Reid, a highly influential music-man : Rhianna, West, Dido etc. Sort of rings bells with the LA connection.Nice photo on wiki with "monarch" butterflys.
cheers
