Bridging the Gap ?

This is worth highlighting, is there some sort of symbolism at play alluding directly to a royal belief in reincarnation ?

It's just been on the radio that Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their third child. Breaking News and all that.

Today, HM Queen opens the new Forth crossing, the "Queensferry Crossing", the third one to span the Forth Estuary, linking Edinburgh with Fife. It's exactly 53 years since she opened the Forth Bridge. The Queensferry Crossing will, to all intents and purposes, replace the Forth Bridge. (BBC News)

Back in 2008, it was revealed that Prince Philip's funeral arrangements are code-named "Forth Bridge" by Palace officials. (here)

One wonders if his time is imminent.

Biting on Apple

Prince William is worried.

Yesterday, speaking at a conference for leading digital and technological entrepreneurs from the UK and around the world - The Founders Forum - he told of his concerns relating to cyber-bullying of children. In fact he is "appalled". However, William embraces technology, often like many of his age utilising his smart-phone for "news, sport, music and the odd bit of gaming".

Apparently though, the fly in the ointment in terms of prevention of cyber-bullying is Apple; they have not yet been tempted to board William's crusade.

Whilst at the event  Wills was introduced to "the most humanoid robot ever created" which goes by the name Nao. It attemped to dance for the Prince to Daft Punk's Get Lucky however fell over and had to be righted, it's internal gyroscope failing.

He also marvelled at a "human-sized" drone designed to carry an individual 100 metres into the air. However, it too failed, it's cargo, a Juergen Weigl, having eaten too many hamburgers.

Sometimes I see positives in failure.

Triggers with Attitude ?

History has been made. Prince William is the first member of the royal family to appear on the front page of a gay magazine. It's Attitude and it comes out next Wednesday, the 22nd, the day after Wills' 34th birthday. Bear in mind it's a leap year. Allegedly the bullying of LGBT people has it's roots in the classroom. (here)

Apparently the magazine went to print before the events in Orlando last weekend, so there's surely no possibility he's jumping on the bandwagon so to speak. Surely?

Yesterday, I noted the claims in court re the second coming of Jesus and the Stone of Destiny. Curiously, another story hit the Scottish headlines similtaneously, plans are afoot to move the Stone from Edinburgh Castle to Perth. Whether, and if so when this happens will be interesting. (Daily Record)

The Childcatcher - From London Olympic's opening ceremony

Coincidentally, coinciding with  William's ground breaking announcement, up here in Scotland the BBC are reporting via their "Scotland Live" reports that Jordan Daly,  "co-founder of the "Time for Inclusive Education" campaign said that despite the law banning the "promotion" of homosexuality in schools being repealed, there had been little progress in the past 16 years.

His comments come as party leaders said Holyrood must take a greater role in advancing LGBT equality.

Mr Daly says teachers need to be better informed.

"We're being told the same thing - that teachers do not know where the boundaries are. They do not really know where they can discuss LGBT issues. We have spoken to teachers in faith schools who believe that if they do discuss these issues then they might lose their job. It has to be made clear to teachers that you can discuss these issues, there is no law anymore that outlaws it".

Promotion being the salient word.

I have written about LGBT Scotland before, in particular referencing their A Very Gayleigh Ceilidh, targeting children aged 12+, which was held in my locality back in 2008. Flyers for the event were being distributed at schools and local health centres. In 2008 LGBT Scotland received £1.1 million from the Scottish Government. In 2008 the director of LGBT Scotland was a Neil Rennie. In 2009 Rennie was sentenced to 14 years inprisonment for sexually assaulting a three month old. Rennie was also a qualified teacher. (Who ate all the PIE)

We see the agenda unfold.

The Centaur Spot

 Up in the North East of Scotland sits the Findhorn Foundation, originally formed by various individuals, some of whom believed they could contact extraterrestrials via telepathy. They grew "giant" vegetables which they attributed to "deva benevolence", subscribed to the works of Steiner and Alice Bailey, and generally dabbled in the occult.  Note that deva translates to nature spirit.

A major influence on one of the founders, a Rosicrucian named Peter Caddy, was Robert Ogilvie Crombie, a scientist and writer born in Edinburgh in 1899. Today's Daily Record tells of how Robert, prior to the birth of Findhorn, met a faun called Kurmos in Edinburgh's Royal Botanic Garden, then was introduced to a magical spirit called Pan with subsequent meetings with otherworld entities including  a centaur :

Crombie says he was welcomed into a world of mystical creatures, including fairies, and he reported their conversations at length.

In one encounter with Pan, he said they talked about people being jealous of his abilities.
Pan is reported to have told him: “Communicating with my subjects is not a garden game for the odd half-hour when there is nothing better to do. It is of vital importance for the  survival of mankind.

“Unless humanity comes to realise the dangerous stupidity of outraging nature and stops the ever-increasing rate of pollution it will ultimately destroy itself

Paranormal "experts" are set to descend upon the gardens over the next two weeks in order to try to explain Robert's experiences and check for "strange energies" by means of dowsing, something I wrote about very recently.

Occultist Aleister Crowley was fond of Scotland and her "energies", he considered Boleskine a focal point for the "new" Age.

Prince Charles is a keen gardener and oft follows the biodynamic, Steiner influenced, method of practice. One might even suggest he has communicated with Ogilvie's Pan or one of his descendants. Certainly we know that Peter Caddy's wife, Eileen, a co-founder of the "Vatican of the New Age" as Findhorn is also known, has received an MBE from Charles' mother.

Before the Botanical Gardens moved to their current location they were based at Holyrood, close to the Royal Palace, the chapel and the modern Scottish Parliament. One wonders if energies abound there too.

Prior to the establishment of the Royal Botanical Gardens, there was most likely another in Edinburgh - "one of the earliest in the United Kingdom" - on the site of Heriots Hospital (here). It could well be that plants were propagated from that source initially, to stock the new Royal one.

Kabbalism along with alchemy (Hermetic
Art) is an important part of Masonic sorcery.
In the science of symbolism the pentagram is called
'holy and mysterious'. If the pentagram has one
point up it is representative of the good principle
(Yetzer ha-Tov), if it has two points up it indicates
the sinister principle (Yetzer ha-Ra).

Heriots Hospital, which opened on the 11th April 1659 (see here for more on that highly auspicious 101st day of the year) is now George Heriots School. Some claim that J.K. Rowling based "her" Hogwarts School on it. I wrote more about it in Magical Scotland, including that when the group Oasis visited Edinburgh, Liam went to a bar named after royal goldsmith Heriot and described the city as ""Beautiful, amazing, f****** biblical, in fact. Words can't explain it..."

Wolfish, six toed Liam's "symbolic" "Pretty Green" "clothing"

Next door to Heriots is Greyfriars, where the Covenanters - the Presbyterian "enemies" of the Catholic supporting Jacobites, who took their name from the Biblical covenant sworn by Israel in the Old Testament and nothing to do with a witches' coven - signed their declaration in 1638 in front of the pulpit. 41 years later, 1200 Covenanters were imprisoned in the kirkyard pending trial. From wiki, History of the Jews in Scotland:

Reverence for the tenets of Judaism was a hallmark of 17th century fundamentalist Protestant thinking when the National Covenant of 1638 seemed to set the seal on the belief that by returning to the "true religion" at the Reformation the Scots had become a chosen people.

Scotland, whom our Lord took off the dunghill and out of hell and made a fair bride to Himself... He will embrace both [of] us, the little young sister, and the elder sister, the Church of the Jews. (Rev. Samuel Rutherford)


Greyfriars is most popular with tourists, due to both the Bobby-dog story and recently, the Harry Potter stories. Some Potterites believe a gravestone there for a Thomas Riddell is the inspiration for Rowling's Lord Voltermort. One wonders if all these visitors effect any unseen "energies".


Alternative historian and eccentric,  Comyns Beaumont, claimed in his 1947 book, Britain; The Key to World History, that Edinburgh was the Biblical Jerusalem. (here) 
 
The (freemasonic) Grand Lodge of Scotland notes that Edinburgh's New Town is allegedly structured on the same pi related esoteric principles as the Temple of Solomon and the Great Pyramid.

Comyns utilsed the image below in his aforementioned book. It shows Edinburgh Castle, which today contains the alleged Stone of Destiny, from Greyfriars Churchyard. It's on that very stone that Prince William will kick off in his role as world King.

Sunblest

I touched on Pythagoras in the last post, noting a triangle of "conspiracy" related events connected to the date 22nd July; 22/7 being the approximate fractional representation of the approximate decimal, 3.14...r

Today we read of how generous - he's donating his salary to an as yet anonymous charity - Prince William is to begin a stint at air ambulance piloting from next spring; images used to decorate the MSM features all seem to contain the one above from his military "career". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-28685666

Below is a close up of his sported "colours": Pi, a Templar Cross, and the ubiquitous 22.

One recalls, back on 15th April 2010, the news being broken by St. James' Palace that William was to be deployed to Anglesey "if he successfully completed his search and rescue pilot training". What seemed curious, perhaps symbolic, was that on that particular day all aircraft traffic over the United Kingdom had been curtailed due to ash from a volcano eruption at glacier Eyjafjallajoekull. (BBC News)

Remember that William was born on the Summer Solstice, whilst today "marks the approximate midpoint of summer in the Northern Hemisphere and of winter in the Southern Hemisphere (starting the season at the June solstice)". wiki

Fitting for a future "Sun-God".

cheers

Note, since I posted it has been reported that William made a "surprise" visit to Scotland yesterday, attending a special Commonwealth Games "party". here

Quin Towers

Wills 'n Kate meet Clyde on 4/4/13

We touched on potential "year and a day" magick in the very recent Marilyn Manson / Clutha Bar related post. (here)


Yesterday, 3/4,  it was announced that the Glasgow XX Commonwealth Games are to start with a bang, five large tower blocks - The Red Road flats - are to be demolished as part of the opening ceremony. (here).

The date is 23rd July, allegedly a year and a day after royal baby George's (Pythagorean 22/7) birth, whilst the games last for eleven days.

Apparently,  the destruction of the towers is seen in some quarters as "a bold and dramatic statement of intent from a city focused on regeneration", although others disagree.

It's worth noting that the Commonwealth Games mascot is called Clyde, "a thistle named after the river", and that the Clutha Bar is also named after the same. 

It's also well worth noting that Prince William and Kate visited Glasgow exactly  364 days prior ( a year less a day) to yesterday's announcement, on 4/4/2013, when they saw mascot Clyde and played table tennis. (Masks)

What to make of it we really don't know,  but for sure, watching those towers collapse will have some sort of effect on the collective psyche. 

cheers

P.S- Today it is reported that a "large expanse" of mystery foam has appeared on the Clyde. here. 

William in Orange

Yesterday, Prince William hosted a football match at Buckingham Palace to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Football Association. He looked dapper in orange boots, sourced from Manchester United (Red Devils) player, Wayne Rooney, whilst the traditional half time oranges were served on silver platters along with Mars Bars. here

The (English) Football Association was first conceived at the Freemason's Tavern, Great Queen Street, London in 1863. 

Football has eleven players per side. The "elite" appear to hold these particular digits in some esteem as with double 11; 22.

Tying in with that, today the BBC reports that a range of 22 coins are to be minted to commemorate baby-Prince George, ranging in cost from £13 to £50,000.

The coins feature a lily font and the motto "Dieu et mon droit" or "God and my right" which itself is sourced from the Divine right of kings, meaning that the monarch requires no earthly authority to rule and derives his or her power directly from God.

Crocodile tears

Last week the Daily Record reported that Prince William has become more emotional on becoming a father and that he "can't bear the thought of animals being hurt". Furthermore, he has taken to listening to a recording of crickets and newts* on his phone to help him relax.

On Monday, the mail on line told of how Wills, Kate, and baby George flew by private jet to Scotland weekend past, to catch up with the Queen and Philip at Balmoral. According to the article, Wills is likely to "unwind by going deer stalking". 

A successful stalk, but not for the deer

Today's BBC tells of how Prince William's guard dogs, Brus and Blade, have been "put to sleep", shortly after he left his post at RAF Anglesey last week. The Sun carries an interesting front cover as imaged top, Rex being Latin for king. Personally, I would have chosen Rexterminate, something I believe will be carried out on the bulk of collective humanity in the not too distant future. After all the elite have the military firepower, space travel technology and genetic tampering techniques which they so obviously crave.

Who needs too many humans in the new Eden.

cheers

Note, my understanding is that newts are not exactly vocal.

It's a kind of magic ?

Kate, immaculate in black and white

Yesterday, the day after the full moon, saw Prince William, pregnant Kate, and Harry attend the inauguration of the Warner Bros Studios in Hertfordshire. There they fooled around with Harry Potter wands and Wills got to sit in the Dark Knight Batmobile. (mail on line)


Wills noted during his "formal opening speech" that "To be honest, I’m over the moon just to have seen the real Batmobile and Batpod – you don’t do baby seats for those cars, do you, by any chance" 

I've written about Aleister Crowley recently. Crowley believed, probably quite rightly, that "Every nursery rime contains profound magical secrets which are open to every one who has made a study of the correspondences of the Holy Qabalah. To puzzle out an imaginary meaning for this "nonsense" sets one thinking of the mysteries". He actually wrote a whole chapter in one of his books (here) which dissected various rhymes and his interpretation of their allegorical meanings.

It got me thinking about Wills' comment, what with all the Harry Potter magic, but, unfortunately, Aleister never covered Hey Diddle Diddle, The Cat and the Fiddle, The Cow jumped over the Moon, The little dog laughed to see such Craft, And the Dish ran away with the Spoon.  

Others though believe that Hey Diddle is "connected with Hathor worship; that it refers to various constellations (Taurus, Canis minor, the Big Dipper etc.); that it describes the Flight from Egypt...". Though others would say that was nonsense.  (wiki)
 

Black and white cow

Hathor is an ancient Egyptian goddess who personified the the principles of joy, feminine love, and motherhood. She was one of the most important and popular deities throughout the history of Ancient Egypt. Hathor was worshipped by Royalty and common people alike....In other roles she was  goddess of music, dance, foreign lands and fertility who helped women in childbirth...Hathor's identity as a cow, perhaps depicted as such on the Narmer Palette, meant that she became identified with another ancient cow-goddess of fertility, Bat.

A Warm Welcome

Monday just past saw a wildfire strike Fort William, just north of "Jimmy Savile's" Glencoe, in Scotland. The place takes it's name from protestant, William of Orange, the catholic hating Dutch prince so beloved of Glasgow Rangers football supporters. Local MP, Charles Kennedy, described the blaze as "unprecedented". The Glencoe massacre was a blood sacrifice to William of Orange and his House of Stuart wife Mary. (BBC News)

Yesterday morning saw chaos in neighbouring Inverness, a "horrendous" fire at the Eastgate Backpackers Hostel causing the closure of the High Street  from Inglis Street to Crown Road. Dozens were evacuated in their nightclothes, the Red Cross helping out. (BBC News)

Ruby Slippers - In Oz/Zion ?

Today, squarely 4/4,  sees Prince William and Kate visit a homeless shelter in Glasgow where they will communicate by Skype with two youngsters on work experience in the Netherlands. Additionally, they are to tour the Donald Dewar Leisure Centre. Their visit will be marked with a fly-past of 3 military Typhoon aircraft. (BBC News)

Chicken Licken

Aferrismoon, left this comment re child abuser James "Jimmy" Savile and a James Bond/Glencoe connection :

Concerning post about Savile's Glencoe house - Skyfall, Bond's childhood home was based in Glencoe.

The film came out around the same time the sky fell in on Savile's reputation.

Happened to be reading Michael Hoffman's thoughts on Unabomber Ted Kaczynski and he mentioned films coming out in the same time frame as 'group mind ritual ' events.

http://www.whale.to/b/hoffman1.html

Remember that Glencoe is infamous for it's massacre - some sort of magical blood offering/sacrifice to new joint sovereigns of the United Kingdom : William of Orange and his House of Stuart wife, Mary.

Top image from said Bond Skyfall movie, note car registration digits 216. In the film, Bond has sexual relations with Severine, a female who he immediately recognises as "a victim of sex trafficking from a young age". (wiki)

Also from wiki re the magical, as noted by Plato, number, 216 :

 "In the film Pi, Max becomes obsessed with a 216-digit number in his quest to find the numeric equation behind existence, and is told by a group of Hasidic Jews that it represents the true name of God.".
"As six cubed (6x6x6), 216 is also symbolic of the Mark of the Beast in Christianity".  

The following images speak for themselves, as does the "masonic" Sun-God, Prince William, and his sun-drenched yet eclipsed midsummer birthdate, 21/6 :

And they called it puppy love

My last post concerning Dionysus and Prince William seems incredibly apt given the revelations of today.

From the French magazine, Closer : "Kate perfected her tan and smothered her nymph-like body with factor-50 sunscreen while William played on his tablet computer"

From the wiki entry on nymph : "Other nymphs, always in the shape of young maidens, were part of the retinue of a god, such as Dionysus, Hermes or Pan"

Note too the magazine headline - "Oh my God".

cheers

Wine, women, and song.

As noted in my last post, Saturday night saw ram's headed  Lady Gaga in London, extolling Princess Diana while performing her new track, Lady D.I.E., and dedicating it to Amy Winehouse, who died of drink and drug abuse. Something I never mentioned was that in the process she  "instructed the 100,000 strong crowd to flash their boobies", whilst insisting that there should be doses of "singing, dancing, vomiting, and smoking". Some say Gaga has a penis; although perhaps it is prosthetic.

Gaga played a twin gig on the Sunday.

Sunday also saw the closing ceremony of the Paralympic games with Coldplay, Jay Z and Rihanna, which the mail on line compared to a post-apocalyptic Mad Max style invasion. Certainly, it was grim, although perhaps not as bad as Mel Gibson's Scottish accent in Braveheart.

Monday 10th September saw the final 2012 parade in London, nearly a million people turning out to line the route from Mansion House to Buckingham Palace where they were treated to tracks by the Pet Shop Boys and a fly-over by the Red Arrows. (here)

   
Monday 10th also saw Scotsman, Andy Murray, win the US tennis open in New York. Apparently he was inspired by Manchester United (Red Devils) manager, Alex Ferguson, who was shouting encouragement from the stands. The Scottish Sun is calling this Fergietale of New York. In my post from Sunday, Brothers in Arms , I noted how Fergie and 007 Sean Connery had "invaded" the semi-final press conference whilst claiming Scotland "invented the world". Something I missed at the time which has become extremely relevant  is that Andy stated  to his mum, Connery and Ferguson that "you smell of wine". (Note that in terms of the  sun's position in the heavens and the current leap year, 11th Sept is 10th Sept, if you follow that explanation). 

 Tuesday 11th saw Prince William and Kate arrive in Singapore for their Far East tour. First stop was the Botanical Gardens where they saw an white orchid named after Princess Diana. From wiki we note of the  Greek myth behind the  naming of this species of plant, "Orchis, the son of a nymph and a satyr, came upon a festival of Dionysius in the  forest. He drank too much, and attempted to rape a priestess of Dionysios. For his insult, he was torn apart by the Bacchanalians. His father prayed for him to be restored, but the gods instead changed him into a flower". Also from wiki we learn that the name Orchid comes directly from the Greek for "testicle".

After the Botanical Garden visit, Wills and Kate enjoyed a slap-up seven course meal. Wills quaffed his wine, although Kate instead chose water for the twin toasts -  fuelling more media headlines that she may be pregnant. 

In 2010, I  wrote a post called the Braveheart Enigma, detailing the  misfortune of 3 Scottish Bravehearts - an alleged gangster, Mel Gibson, and ex national football captain, Colin Hendry. On Saturday just past, the Scottish Sun told of how Hendry has been forced to sell his medals (thinking  Olympics) to pay off debts accrued through "drinking and gambling heavily".
 

The thread between all the above is the Greek deity, Dionysus, god of "grape harvest, wine, winemaking, ritual madness and ecstacy". That's not to forget the "human followers" of the Dionysian mysteries, who used "intoxicants, and other trance inducing techniques (like dance and music) to remove inhibitions and social restraints". Then there's the parallels between Dionysus and Jesus, with scholars of comparative  mythology noting that both identify with the dying and returning god archetype. (wiki)

It's all a ritual. 

  
cheers

Note : since I posted this morning, Amy Winehouse's former boyfriend, Reg Traviss, has appeared in court charged with rape on 31st December. The alleged victim was drunk  BBC.

Also, Prince William has advised that if he was to have a "super-power", it would be invisibility (here), something he already possesses to a certain extent. Note too that the cult of Dionysus was closely associated with trees, today we saw William and Kate plant a money tree, something that speaks volumes for our future.

Prickly issues

It's the Aphelion today, the time of the year when the Earth is furthest from the Sun. It usually falls the day before - American Independence Day - however with this being a leap year, an extra day has been slotted in, thus shifting the man-made calendar.

It was also today that Prince William received the Order of the Thistle from HM the Queen in Edinburgh, just after 11am. Hopefully the reader recalls that William was born by Cesarean on the summer solstice during an eclipse, thus the Sun temporarily obscured. Hopefully the reader sees the connection in terms of the Hermetic dictum - "as above, so below". Certainly it looks like others do.


Don't want to go too much about his award, details are on wikipedia. As usual, there is a sketchy history which no one seems to know too much about. For sure, back on 29th May 1687 when King James 7th of Scotland, 2nd of England, re-founded it, he claimed he was reviving an earlier order, although no one seemed to take a note. 

The image above is of St. Andrew - patron "Christian" saint of Scotland - as found on the Thistle's "badge appendant" which is used only on "great occasions", suspended on the collar. Note the "gold rays of glory" which emanate from Andrew's head. Some would claim that this too relates to the Sun.
 
cheers

Note - 29th May is also Oak Apple Day . In 1660, Parliament declared it a holiday to commemorate the restoration of the English monarchy.  Also see my post from 2009 - Arthur's Treat, relating to 28 musically minded military personnel from the Royal Regiment of Scotland, posing on top of Arthur's Seat whilst Prince Harry layed a wreath in the Big Apple's Ground Zero

one to one

Just following on from my last post, it appears that Prince William will receive his Thistle-Knighthood during the week 2nd - 6th July, the Queen's official Holyrood Week.


Meanwhile, today it was revealed that Disney film Brave, the one about the girl with the striking resemblance to News of the World ex-editor and alleged criminal, Rebekah Brooks, unwittingly unleashing chaos and the forces of darkness in Scotland, is to have it's European premier at the 66th Edinburgh Film Festival, something which  I have touched on before. What is new news is that it is to be the closing Gala out of 121 new films - 121 being 11 squared  - and will premier on the 30th of June.


For those unaware of the double-eleven enigma, especially in relation to Scotland, I would direct you to Uri Geller - who is apparently infatuated with the numerals - and his purchase of Lamb Island in the Firth of Forth where he believes that returning Egyptian princess Scota stashed her loot. Not forgetting Prince Wills and his dark front page appearance on Hello magazine issue 1111, again something often touched on here.

Ger-kill and hide

I'll begin by going over old ground : Glasgow Rangers (The 'Gers) are taken over by a Craig Whyte last year, who promises them the Earth. Unfortunately, he does not deliver and expedites the club's financial woes by not paying any tax bills to Her Majesty. Given that Rangers had an ongoing problem with the taxman ( the "big one"), this "wee one" - 9 million - is the catalyst for the club to be forced into administration on Valentines Day. Since then the media have been full of this might happen, that might happen, until last Thursday something did happen. Another Bill, an American with the surname Miller, was announced as "preferred bidder" his offer of £11.2 million outclassing the others. It is not really cut and dried yet  though, as Miller's bid comes with Frankensteinish strings attached, namely somehow removing the heart of the club, incubating it, and attempting to rebuild a healthy body to which the heart can be re-inserted at some point in the future.


Me personally, well I see it as a microcosm for our imminent global financial meltdown, with another Bill, or William, as saviour; winning hearts and minds before no doubt grinding us all down, miller-style. I have written various posts regarding this and what, given the numerical alignments, looks like high level masonic involvement in the affair.

Here's something else to add to the mix.


Also last Thursday a high profile criminal trial was brought to conclusion. The accused, Ross Monaghan, was acquitted, on the basis of there being no relevant evidence against him, of assassinating Kevin "Gerbil" Carroll in a supermarket car park in Robroyston, Glasgow, on 13th January 2011, exactly one year, one month and one day before the Ger's bills sent them into admin - surely a St. Valentine's Day massacre. Robroyston is where "Braveheart" - William Wallace - was allegedly turned over  to the English in 1305.


Carroll was apparently a bit of a bad egg and was stepping on various toes, so much so that at the trial it was revealed that the police had compiled a list of 99 potential suspects, although the accused did not feature. He arranged to meet a drug dealer in the car park to tell him that he was working for "him" now, and arrived in the back seat of a Audi with two front seat occupants. A Volkswagon Golf  bearing false registration plates YF55 EZZ screamed up at 1.23pm, blocked in the Audi, and two masked hitmen jumped out. The driver and front seat passenger of Gerbil's vehicle also jumped out and ran, however, mysteriously, the back doors appear to have locked, leaving Gerbil trapped and the two highly professional assassins able to pump 13 bullets into him. Obviously he was dead, one wonders if someone with the  relevant expertise could remotely jam a locking system.


Somehow then, his friend from an alleged notorious criminal family - the Daniels - swiftly travelled some 9 miles to the scene in his red Audi, whereupon he managed to enter the car twice and was seen removing items from the corpse's pockets. In the interim, before the police eventually arrived, he ate some sim cards to prevent them being analysed.

Also during the trial, it  was alleged that Monaghan was the owner of a phone number/sim, the digits of which, according to the  bbc report were 121 : "Mr Bennett told DC Sloan that he was called twice by the number ending 1210, which he believed was Mr Monaghan's number.". Bear in mind that 121 is 11 squared, the double eleven cropping up in this ongoing malarkey- eg Bill Miller - with astonishing regularity and that no other digits of the alleged number were disclosed.


Then there's Paul McBride, a top Scottish lawyer imminently due to represent the accused. He was  found dead in his hotel room in Pakistan just before the proposed date of this trial. Curiously, he was also shortly due to represent another media-alleged Glaswegian gangster, Barry "Braveheart" Hughes - his nickname taken from Gibson's William Wallace movie. See  (The Braveheart Enigma)


On Saturday it was reported that forensic scientist, Alison Colley, of the Scottish Police Service Authority  had been pressurised by Strathclyde Police to "form her conclusion using the (gunpowder) particle at the request of a detective superintendent involved in the investigation." (BBC News)


On Sunday it was reported that a serving  Lothian and Borders police officer, Derek McLeod, had passed secret information regarding Carroll's surveillance to one of the suspects in his murder. He was also found with 85 kilos of cannabis under his stairs and a cannabis "factory", allegedly worth £35,000, in his garage. He received a paltry 2 years and 3 month sentence.
