Favours returned

Just briefly :

I touched on David Cameron's alleged gaffe in respect of the Queen and Scottish independence in the post Pussies Galore - the British Prime Minster  being "overheard" remarking to Michael Bloomberg that H.M. had "purred down the line" after he telephoned her at Scottish Balmoral to advise of the referendum result. As I noted within the post, I found it hard to believe, the whole scenario no doubt stage managed.

That was back on 23rd September.

Yesterday, 13 days after the event,  it was reported by the BBC that Michael Bloomberg has been knighted by the Queen and will now become a Knight Commander (KBE).

I wonder if he purred when he heard the news.

Blood is thicker than water

Some years ago, "illusionist", Derren Brown, performed a dowsing experiment. It went like this :

DB introduces the idea of dowsing, but claims it only works through suggestion. He meets a volunteer in the Nevada desert who is given a pair of dowsing rods; as he walks towards a bottle of water in the sand the dowsing rods cross supposedly indicating the presence of water. DB describes a black canister that the volunteer saw and signed earlier and says that it contains water, but it has now been buried in the desert. The volunteer is then given the dowsing rods again and told to find the canister through dowsing. While the volunteer is dowsing, DB asks his seemingly random questions to which he answers that he sees his grandfather acting as a guide to him, the experience is like the colour blue to him, and the canister would make the sound of wind and water. As the rods begin to cross the volunteer identifies the spot to dig, and he duly finds the canister. On opening it he discovers it does not contain water, but a note explaining his dowsing process has had nothing to do with water or energy. The note continues, as a prediction by DB, that he would have made the volunteer think of his grandfather, the feeling of blue, and the sounds of wind and water

It was never fully explained whether Derren somehow hypnotised the gentleman in some manner, but my reckoning was that Derren somehow opened a portal within the mind, thus allowing the process to work. Historically, dowsers were in great demand for finding underground streams and suchlike, indeed the method is still used, and not just for water.

One thus wonders, in a similar but darker manner, about Jimmy Savile's choice of Glencoe for his Scottish abode, given his post-humous reputation, and the infamous MacDonald massacre by the Campbells - a blood sacrifice to William of Orange and his Stuart wife Mary.

Yesterday was the anniversary of the first "English Settlement" in the USA; Jamestown - James Fort - named after Bible reviser and promoter, James 6th and 1st, someone I go on a bit about here. (wiki). The BBC ran an interesting article at the beginning of the month, which noted proof of cannibalism in the colony.

Yesterday saw British Prime Minister, David Cameron, visit Boston to soak up the atmosphere of the post marathon bombings and talk of the values of "freedom, democracy, and diversity". (mail on line)

Yesterday also saw Prince Harry in the USA, visiting New Jersey, to view the destruction left by Hurricane Sandy. (here)

Some people believe "science" still has a lot to learn.

Deceptive appearances ?

Recent posts have noted an ongoing subliminal William of Orange ritual, given Paxman, the Glencoe massacre, and Jay-Z's forthcoming appearance in London on 12th July.

 

It's shameful yes, but we won't apologise

From my 2011 post, Segmental, re Lady Gaga:

444 years ago yesterday, 15th May 1567, Mary, Queen of Scots (MQOS), married James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell in a Protestant ceremony... she was imprisoned at Carlisle before being found guilty of treason in a court involving "about 40 noblemen", then beheaded...Also yesterday, Lady Gaga appeared at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend. It was held in Carlisle. She arrived on stage via a coffin, and wore a black PVC prosthetic pregnant stomach. She dedicated the jazz track, Orange Colored Sky, to Kate and William. Her show ended with a song called Judas.
