Qatari Shoppin Mall Fire.

This is something I touched on yesterday but have decided could do with explaining in more detail.

Yesterday (28/5/12) a large fire tore through the Villaggio shopping mall in Doha the capital of Qatar. Amid rumours of a faulty sprinkler system and a poor provision of fire exits 19 people have so far been confirmed killed including 13 children who were in the mall's Gympanzee nursery/creche.

I think that this is Qatar trying to distance itself for the al-Houla massacre that took place in Syria last Friday (25/5/12). Although I use the catch all term "Saudi Irregular Army (SIA)" to describe the insurgents in Syria the situation is much more like it is in Libya. That is to say there are disparate, heavily armed groups running around doing what they like with little expertise in warfare and no coherent tactical plan and differing relationships with a host of foreign intelligence agencies led by Saudi Arabia and Qatar. So by setting the fire in the nursery Qatar is trying to present the insurgents who committed the al-Houla massacre as a bunch of immature youngsters over which Qatar has little control. I don't believe this because the co-ordination with the Euro2012 warm-up games, the Eurovision Song Contest and Britain's meeting with the Russians means that they're very well connected insurgents. Besides I had two days prior notice that the massacre was going to take place and I'm not as well connected to the insurgents as the Qataris.

The use of a shopping mall is a reference to me and my problems over my grandmother. These problems are primarily with the estate of the Bishop of Whitgift (Whitgift Estate) which owns lots of things in Croydon including the Whitgift Shopping mall. These problems are expected to come to a head in October/November 2012 when my grandmother's cash reserves are spent and she will be forced to sell her home to the Whitgift Estate after what I suspect will be a lengthy legal battle. Also yesterday a British Court rejected a bail application from Muslim hate cleric Abu Qatada and set the date for his extradition to Jordan hearing for October/November 2012. On a day when I was actively de-railing Britain's plan for Syria this could be viewed as them assuring their allies that they'll be putting me out of business in October/November 2012. It is also Britain stating that they intend to keep their back-channel negotiations with Jordan over Syria running for at least the next six months.

The fact that they majority of the children who died in the fire are French is Qatar forcing France into a discussion over it's passport holders in light of the election of a new French President Francois Hollande who although didn't specifically run on a anti-war ticket is certainly less gung-ho then Nicolas Sarkozy.

Edited at around 13:50 on 29/5/12 to add:

Since writing the above I discovered that the Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamid bin Jasmin bin Jabir al-Thani had a pre-arranged meeting with the Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao yesterday.

Also today there have been developments in Britain's Derby house fire story. It turns out the police have dropped charges against the 'mistress' who looks a bit like my old Brighton cohort "Sam" and arrested the parents of the six dead children on suspicion of starting the fatal house fire. The implication being that they killed their own children in a publicity stunt.

Therefore even Qatar and Britain are admitting that the SIA carried out the al-Houla massacre as an example of black propaganda. The reason for this sudden openness is that tomorrow the UN Special Envoy is set to brief the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) over the massacre. The early whispers suggest that they will follow the script and blame the massacre on the Syrian government. The only problem is that at this point no-one in the business will believe that so the Special Envoy's credibility will be completely destroyed. Therefore Britain is putting pressure on the Special Envoy to give a more accurate account of events.
