I Danced with Michael Jackson & Elvis aka "Daddy"

When I was just a baby my father died. My older sister had an Elvis poster a closeup of his face, on her bedroom wall. This image would trigger a wish that Elvis was my daddy. I didn't understand that he was famous but the kindness that shown through his eyes in the poster was all I needed. I would often ask "Mommy, why don't you marry Elvis."? A few years later, I went to see an outdoor Jackson 5 concert in Montreal at an amusement park venue, certainly not the biggest venue around. A new group, The Commodores, a band I had never heard of, was the opening act and I remember screaming my head off when the lead singer, Lionel Ritchie, announced to the crowd that he was a Gemini. Did I even understand astrology? No, of course not. But there was a connection and this is what excited me.
When the Jackson 5 came on, I danced and danced non-stop until the show was over. I was so small, I don't think I was even able to see them on the stage. I was on the grounds, my sister sitting on the seats behind me. I was lost in a world of music, only able to listen to Michael and his brothers. But I had enough space around me to dance all by myself. I cared not of being alone. I had a feeling someone was watching me. I was so young I must have looked out of place but I felt the connection. Michael was my first crush and I remember after that J5 concert, I could not fall asleep at night. I was love lorn and would fall asleep with a Tiger Beat poster of Michael under my pillow. For years, I wished that he and I could kind of one on one dance together. He had an almost Fred Astaire elegance about him even in black leather.
Elvis would die when I was in Italy vacationing during summer break. I remember seeing an Italian newspaper and reading "Elvis Morte". But I assumed it must have been his father. Elvis was simply too young to die. I was all shook up.
Years would pass and indeed when Thriller came out,I was thinking, "Oh it's you again." How you doing, Michael? But the truth be told, I was never as connected to Michael again in the same way, not because I didn't love his new music but simply he was like an old familiar face. It was now the time for another even bigger audience to discover the new MJ. He was more like a friend coming around the old neighbourhood to say "Hello". Michael was already important to me and now the world was catching on like never before.
When the news flashed that Michael died, "Michael Jackson est Mort" I was somehow not phased but not because I didn't care, not because I didn't think he was special anymore. I perhaps unconsciously had felt that Michael had been gone a long time ago. Of course when I hear his music now everywhere I go from car stereos blasting down my street to the grocery store, it is painful and I wish they would stop playing the music. It's hard to hear his voice these days. Soon enough this phase of mourning will pass. It has occurred to me that indeed, my wish did come true. I did dance with Michael, in a frenzy of groove and creative spirituality at the outdoor amusement park so many years earlier. My wish had happened but I didn't realize it until Michael died.

Yellow Submarine & Heavy Metal! Interview today...

Today I will clear my head of conspiracy theories and bad music. It's not obvious having been partial for so long, myself an avid consumer of all things news and media, culture and not so much. Today I am a documentary film producer interviewing none other than Gerald Potterton, director of Heavy Metal and the Beatles Yellow Submarine.Very looking to this. Taking a ride with my best friend...
it's a free association day.
Bye for the mo' and I'll give you news later!

Italian Earthquake was predicted

...And my best friend and mom saw a two different TV news report A FEW DAYS PRIOR (one on English TV the other on French) that there had been a 6.3 earthquake in Italy...and then silence - until yesterday.
Why?

Reuter's link is above and a summarized version here.
The silence is numbing and fatal.


The first tremors in the region were felt in mid-January and continued at regular intervals, creating mounting alarm in the medieval city, about 100 km (60 miles) east of Rome.

Vans with loudspeakers drove around the town a month ago telling locals to evacuate their houses after Giuliani, from the National Institute of Astrophysics, predicted a large quake was on the way, prompting the mayor's anger.

Bildenburg 2009 in Athens greece

2009 Bilderberg Meeting to be Held in Athens



The Bilderberg club is famous for gathering the most powerful people in the world at least once per year. There, they can talk behind closed doors. This year, the club will organize its meeting in Athens between 14th and 16th of May, says Elefterios Tipos newspaper.

In the list of invited guests are the Queen of Netherlands Beatrix, the Spanish Queen Sophia, and diplomats from the rank of the US National Security Council James Jones. Also among the invited are ministers of foreign affairs like the Turkish one Ali Babacan, who will get the chance for a tête-à-tête meeting with the Greek minister of foreign affairs Dora Bakoyanni. Except for political figures, the meeting will host representatives of giant companies like Domenico Siniscalco from “Morgan Stanley”.

From Greek side participants will be the Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis and the leader of the opposition party PASOK Georgios Papandreou, as well as ministers and powerful figures from political and public life of the country like the president of the National Bank of Greece Takis Arapoglou and the chairman of the public telecommunications company OTE Panayotis Vourloumis.

Except for the 30-35 permanent members of the Bilderberg Club, the list of invited people change every year depending on who can influence the developments on the international scene. On the meeting will be present also the management of NATO, politicians, publishers, and journalists.

“The silence law” is the first rule, which all invited to the world of Bilderberg must abide to. This is why the daily schedule remains secret but the current events leave no doubt that the main topic of discussion will be the global economic crisis.

The history of Bilderberg Club passes through secret meetings in distant hotels and discussions, which no one learns about. The three day meetings in the club are covered by a veil of mystery and many conspiracy theories start, which create different hypothesis for the activities in the club. “Times” daily newspaper writes that “the Bilderberg Club is the camarilla of the richest economically and politically powerful people in the Western world, who meet in secret, in order to plan events, which later on just happen.”

The headquarters of the club is in the Dutch city Leiden, and the first meeting of the club takes place in May of 1954 in Hotel Bilderberg, which name has the club. The main rules are that the meetings continue for three days from 08:00am until 08:00pm with a small lunch break. For each topic, the orators have five minutes to put forward their arguments and after that, the rest have 2 minutes each for a comment.

The key figure in founding this club was Joseph Retinger, who is the supporter of the economical and military unification idea of Europe. By using his strong connections, Retinger realizes his idea for a secret meeting, where all discussions are done behind closed doors. He remains the secretary of the club until his death in 1960.

Daniel Espulin, The Obama Deception & Bad Music

I just saw the Obama Deception. The problem with these "conspiracy" films such as this one, Loose Change, etc is that they incorporate "scary movie music" which for me, detracts from the content and questions the credibility of what these films aspire to do. If you can wait through the bad intro graphics and try hard to block out the overly ambitious intro music then you may experience an epiphany. That's the power of good or bad music as well as bad graphics. Now to the meat & potatoes -I'm not surprised about what these films are claiming. It's black and white with some gray but if people put on the reading glasses and bother to pay attention, then you start to see some semblance of reality. Change is a big word that we want to believe we want, but in fact there is the mentality of the masses and to this we are ball and chained, like the morning coffee I personally can't live without. Like the flyers that implore you to buy your new lawn chair and bar-b-que for the summer months, the new rubber mat for the kitchen and new spring cloths. Consumerism is a huge way we can make change and prevent or slowdown the NWO (it's definition is gray). We must take responsibility for the world economic meltdown. we are players in this and we are now paying with foreclosures and insurmountable debt and its our fault. We fell for it hook line and sinker. If you want to implement change and truly have a real "never again" then stop reading those Sunday morning flyers, re-evaluate your wants and needs.

It's straight forward that after a government MC'd by Bush, that an ideal, idealized, idolilized tribalized President Obama just wouldn't come from the heaven's like Superman. The clenches and powers above and behind him, are way too stong to allow true change. The face is different, his colour is hopeful, but the truth is, is that the back drop has changed but that's it. The presidential elections are nothing different than American Idol and Rumsfeld is Paula, Cheney is Simon, and we have the networks and sponsors in the guise of lobby groups and supporters and volunteers. I first got suspicious when Evangelical minister Pastor Rick Warren was invited to deliver the invocation at his inauguration ceremony January 20, 2009. My brain clicked and wondered "what's going on?" Just three days later on January 23, 2009, Obama changed the abortion laws reversing a ban implemented by George W. Bush, on funding for international groups that perform abortions or provide information about the procedures to women abroad. The choice for Warren was to appease the far right/pro abortion lobby and get the democrats and "lefties" pissed off, but just for just a few days until the laws were changed. By inviting Warren, Obama would momentarily a appease both sides (albeit on different days) because the purported NWO doesn't give a hoot about right or left. And indeed the NWO probably does prefer abortions if what these "conspiracy" films claim, is true or close to. Daniel Espulin wears the wrong cloths and perhaps his megaphone is just "...so Ohio State" . The world needs the new Lech Walesa's to instigate change and Espulin may be the man. At the very least Espulin has guts and is fearless. I'm surprised he hasn't died in a "car accident" yet. He may not be right on all counts (thanks to the horror move music) but there truth to much of his claims.

Just say NWOooooo - the "w" is silent

Orange Alert! Yeah this G20 London Summit thing..wasn't it like G8 before? Deal makers the new world order...Just say NWOoooooo! Nwooooo woah!
Today's CNN (no link) article mongering fear to those who bear threat or appear as potential protesters utilize the net, tech savvy making it harder for "intelligence" to follow. Increased risk in security. Pitter patter twitter...chatter

I Welcome Me Back

Hey it's been a while since I blogged here and oh so much has happened around the world. Let's see if I can put into words in less than five minutes as I have to hurry up. OK first off, the Canadian Junos Awards were nothing new under the sun and should have been held during Earth Hour. I twittered about it real time and all of what I had to say about it has been done. So let's leave that alone. Now about adopting babies...Madonna's onto baby number whatever. Let the world get mad, pissed off criticize her or whatever, but the bottom line is that by the time you have finished reading this blog, another school room full of children will have died from preventable conditions like dehydration. There is no clean water in the most populated parts of the world.
There's a puppy/cat mill operating not far from my home under a pet store...gotta do something about that...I will. Watch.
I met a guy walking his dog in the park just a few minutes ago. He said he doesn't need medication for his mental illness. I never met him before. He had nice blue eyes. The same colour as his pack of Players cigarettes. I made sure that he didn't see in which direction I walked home. He was nice to his dog nevertheless.
OK gotta go and will have more juicy tidbits coming your way soon.

"Oops" she did it again and again star Britney Spears, who was admitted to a psychiatric ward in January for a mental health evaluation appears to be feeling well, has begun working on a TV show and said she is "having a blast."

Britney's downward spiral began when she appears to what may have been a nervous breakdown in 2007 and throughout early 2008, but this week she has been portraying a dermatology office secretary named Abby on the CBS television comedy "How I Met Your Mother."

"Working at 'How I Met Your Mother' has been so terrific. Everyone, including the cast, the crew and the producers, has been wonderful and Abby is such a fun girl to play. I'm having a blast!" Spears said in a statement released by CBS.
