Paris Opera Anniversary

Today is the 250th Anniversary of the Paris Opera, founded by Louis XIV the Sun King.

The program schedule consists mainly of sections of the massive Wagnerian Ring Cycle - which is scheduled to be run in complete form as the mainstay of the season next year, 2020.

Paris Opera 

As usual Wikipedia gives us what appear like full factual details but which are scant elements of the whole matter - for one glaring example, the account leaps from 1669 to 1875 from the moment when the actual patent letters were signed by Louis, to the time 200 years later when the Opera Garnier (theater auditorium) was built, with not a single word on where or how or when if any, actual operas were held in the location or under the name of the Paris Opera.

Common sense, sorely missing in many places these days, would grant that either the Sun King was about to take an unusual zillion-dollar flyer on the theoretical future creation both of an opera company of players, as well as some suitable building to house the productions and seat thousands... ...or such a place and people had been being trialed for some time already.

Anyhew...

Enough with the whinging already. We have the Wiki. And we're stuck with it. Tomorrow's people will possess the foundations upon which they no doubt will attempt to go to Mars.

Beautiful as it indeed is, it is in danger of being burned to the ground as Pierre Boulez once offered sarcastically, to do. Since after all, we simply must have some space in Paris city for another monument to um, Macron as Jupiter and maybe a smaller one to Baal.

Verona

Burn the Opera to the ground, I say.

Of course the Palais Garnier and the entirety of the Paris Opera complex are stunningly beautiful buildings and artworks.

But the best large opera facility in Europe is undoubtedly the Verona Amphitheater, and this is where the best opera singers headline the schedules.

You See, The Problem With MI6, Is This

Now you will see in the media - as a direct result of the upcoming declassified transcript documents relating to Alexander Downer's taping of George Papadopoulos - that the UK government will claim that it only knew of some of the matters regarding Russian interference in US elections, and compromising material uncovered by Christopher Steele (this latter of which is entirely false material, as we now know) around 2016 just AFTER the election of Donald Trump. And the UK government has itself just begun the 'backgrounder narrative' of its 'story' (fairy tale) by releasing to its own home media, that memos were received by heads of its Intelligence Services, and the relevant ministers including the Prime Minister, at that time (IE, 2016).

The problem with these lies, is that they are pathetic attempts at covering up a depth of lying that raises a lot of serious questions:

Sir Alex Allan, was the UK High Commissioner in Western Australia even before 1999. He was previously, a personal private secretary to UK Prime Minister John Major. Major owns several businesses in Western Australia, establishments I have personally been to to meet with UK spies. And, there are several of our friends who read here and sometimes contribute articles, who were themselves also there or who directly know about those instances and circumstances. And that would have been before 2010.

Allan was the Chairman of the UK JIO, which gathered and analysed information from MI5, MI6 and material from GCHQ - he was/is himself a computer communications expert in his own right. I have met him a few times. I found him, frankly, a very nice man on the surface.

Interesting robes...

The trouble with the current 'official' story is that it is my personal knowledge, and it is also reflected in mainstream media reports at close to the times in question, albeit somewhat buried now - that Sir Alex was a personal friend and colleague of Alexander Downer, this latter individual as you all now know having been the AUSTRALIAN High Commissioner in London and evidently the person who taped George Papadopoulos, or at least one of the key people who did.

...And you all who have been here from the start KNOW FOR SURE that I am telling the truth 'cuz I posted it in here back near enough to the times in question!

So who am I then, eh? Anyone, anyone? ; ))

Who are we, Bill? Ssshhh. Don't answer that. Not fully, anyway. Not yet. Coz the show ain't over yet. LOL

Fun times in Carson City. 

This Title Is Cryptic

One of the well-known jokes about all the James Bond books, is that if Bond were a real human being, and he really did consume as much alcohol as indicated in those stories... ...he would have to be a Freeman of London City.

One of the 'freedoms' of these folk, is that whilst within the perimeter of the City of London, they shall be 'bundled off into a taxi and conveyed home' if a policeman finds one of them drunk and incapable of driving or perhaps actually even walking responsibly anywhere.

There are a lot of aspects to 'the City of London' that are not spoken about virtually anywhere. No one - absolutely no one at all - is permitted into the City to bear arms against a Freeman, or prosecute them in any way, or do any kind of personal aggression against such an individual; and no one ever has. That is, not even UK soldiers, brigades, armies or any powerful group, ever have nor under present circumstances will they ever enter there to touch a single hair of any of the 'Freemen.'

And the only real way for that to be able to be continuously effected, is that there are mirror organisations - all of them highly secret - outside of the City who procure this situation, and ensure that it remains the way that it is.

The City of London runs things in the United Kingdom. 

Theresa May is a 'Freeman of the City of London.'

Christopher Steele worked inside of offices funded by Freeman of the City of London run through various charities.

The City of London is extremely powerful. But, alas, it is largely composed of drunkards and knaves now, who aspire to the heights of the old French Court of the Louis' and to European actual 'royalty' per se - and so they mimic a lot of the fashion statements of the (past) day that were aspects of that old world. At the same time, by force of practical experienced reality, and their money, they try to use and exploit modern technology to do whatever they want to do. When you see various 'names' of organizations that crop up in the newspapers these days concerning various scandals and the messy exploding of the underhanded things that were being undertaken... ...read 'Freeman of the City.'


ADDENDUM These characters love to be seen as just some quaint old jocular folkloric sort of merely local cultural phenomenon, mostly game fellows who are agreeable with doing silly dress-ups for the sake of American and Japanese and recently rich Chinese tourists. Don't fall for it. They are deeply sinister and wholly evil.

Why The Media Is Dead

Yes, it is actually quite dead. And it ain't coming back to life.

For years and years they wanted an easy path to significance and courted the press secretaries of politicians and ended up being absorbed into the clique.

By having 'exclusives' with important people (government ministers and the like) meant the media company owners could sack street level reporters. Just taking in hook, line and sinker the press releases, the hand-outs, the sponsored content meant you could next sack all the journalists as well. This happened over decades rather than any short amount of time.

Meanwhile, the world went to hell.

And this has had an enormous psychological impact on people, especially the so-called elites - for they, have seen themselves as different from, different to, and above, everyone else. But they failed to gouge out their own eyes and so they are completely surrounded by the murder and mayhem they themselves helped establish as a fixture of modern life.

Psychopathic or not, they have become depressed as a result and live within a cult of death in order to try and adapt somehow to the reality around them, that they possess no means to escape.

All 'mainstream' news media these days consists of the following few elements: something desperate, maudlin, unsolvable, and then next of course death, the superficial pronouncement of someone else's extraordinary wealth (always not real), dystopian images, and falsified definitions.

And there is virtually nothing that reflects what is really there, out there, on the actual streets, in the homes, or countrysides or establishments either of race or culture - because there is literally no one out there with a camera. Yes RT is out there but they don't represent the mainstream media at all.

The city of Paris is gone. It is no more. It will never come back now. 

In this month of Ramadan, we can consider the moon... We can realize that the main reason the new Bond will fail, just like politicians are wreaking havoc worldwide, destroying the great cities of the world, and all else like grasshoppers and locusts in a plague - is that the people involved are illiterate. And it just plain does not matter how many University degrees they have.

If you asked anyone on this new Bond 25 set and crew and production team and its directors (whichever of the proposed ones survive till the end...) - off the top of their head: what was the great classic opera music that really was featured in the soundtrack credited to Marvin Hamlisch, due to John Barry being unable to work in the UK for tax reasons... (Direct quote from the Wikipedia entry) UNABLE TO WORK IN THE UK FOR TAX REASONS. Can you believe it. I mean it's certainly true.

The point I'm making for my friend Ian Dickerson, is that 'tax reasons' contribute a lot to the lies told by Hollywood.

Wikipedia says that Chopin, Bach and Saint-Saens are reportedly heard in the movie. I mean sure they are there, but what was 'Hamlisch's' composed score based on? 

Antonin Dvorak's 'Song To The Moon' from 'Rusalka' the fairy-tale about the Little Mermaid. 

Don't Be Under Any Illusions...

You know, ever since the word had seeped out that the Mueller Report was being brought to the Congress and the whole sorry thing to a close, I have been doing my best to walk away from the whole nasty business. It's horrible, the whole of it. I don't want to talk about it - it's messier than the general public knows or probably can ever know under all of the circumstances.

Part of the background of why this web blog-spot exists at all is that there is work going on all the time creating 'dendrite-like' networks - and part of that is just the constant creation of, a kind of intelligent form of 'white noise.' This provides a canvas onto which tiny little brush-strokes are made occasionally for those with the requisite 'art appreciation education...' ...to be able to perceive. LOL ...If you know what I'm saying. Which you do because you're not silly.

So on the whole we want to do nice, happy, satisfying stuff - like you know, what the effects of a decent French onion soup are.

At the same time it is not the right thing to do to let innocent people walk around without warning of impending disasters, be they so small that they are not going to wipe out whole countries as such, but material enough to hurt actual people, innocent by-standers who happen through no fault of their own, to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

And so with that in mind let me put it out there, that, if say, the worst of the conspiracies are even close to the truth - say, regarding Five Eyes and people like Jonathan Winer and James Comey and that coterie of people, then it is unreasonable to think that at some point, someone isn't going to shoot their way out of, into, or around just to make enough noise to scare the jungle monkeys out of the trees in which they are hiding.

Lt General Flynn. Good man. Supporter of America.
And the others are not.

And with that thought in mind, I cannot recommend going to any private clubs, be they ambassadorial, or academic, or global commercial - in Londonistan or Washington and by Washington I also mean Boston. ...Nor any 'cigar lounges' or wine bars in London.

The reason you see today's story in the BBC about the minister seeking 'general amnesty' for officials (he says 'military personnel') having killed civilians in enterprises against terrorists in foreign lands... ...is because these idiots all took Ian Fleming just a touch too much at his express word when they swallowed all of that 'lament over the End of Empire' that Fleming over-indulged himself and subsequently all of us in, far too many years ago now, to still be exerting influence over mindsets now.
