With the G8 Foreign Ministers meeting entering its second and final day in London the US has been having a very busy and gory last 12 hours.
Firstly there has been the siege in Atlanta, Georgia in which a man took five firefighters hostage. The siege has since been resolved following a SWAT team assault on the property in which the hostage taker was killed, one police superficially injured and all five hostages were released unharmed. It's since emerged that the hostage taker was suffering financial problems and was demanding that his utilities such as a gas, water, electricity and telephone services were re-connected. This is obviously a reference to my role in the Chris Brown/Rihanna operation. Far from being in the position of power they had planned for the CIA handlers are instead in a position of weakness where they're being forced to 'firefight' new problems every day. Therefore they obviously want the pressure increased on me by cutting off my utilities especially my Internet connection. Sadly for that to happen they're going to need the co-operation of the UK and I don't see that being forthcoming. As with with Aurora shooter case this comparison would of course hold more water if I was having some sort of financial problems or making some sort of benefit claim to the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP). In the US utilities are provided by the Department of Water and Power (DWP).
There have also been a spate of gory limb removals and deaths. These include a man in California who walked into a Los Angeles branch of the Home Deport hardware store and tried to cut his arms off. There was also a young girl (toddler) who lost both legs and part of her hand after falling in front of a lawn mower in Tampa, Florida. There was also a 16 year old boy who died in a San Diego (the scene of Rihanna's next concert) after being hit in the chest with a softball during a game of "Over the Line." Finally a severed goats head was sent to the home stadium of the Chicago Cubs baseball team in what is believed to be an attempt to lift a curse.
You may remember that after Chris Brown first reunited with Rihanna in October 2012 a lot of people (especially members of the para-Olympic family) including myself responded by suggesting he should have vital bits of his anatomy removed. Personally I'm going with hands, feet and tongue. Therefore these spate of incidents were intended to promote discussion about that. The goats head was a specific reference to nations particularly in Africa (Papua New Guinea has been busy recently though) in which animals and people are sacrificed in witch craft rituals. For example it was recently rumoured that two skeletons were found in the home of former Central African Republic (CAR) President Bozize which had been killed in such a ritual. However as Bozize is currently in exile in Cameroon he might want his money back.
Rihanna also yesterday took to Twitter/Instagram to confirm that despite rumours she and Chris Brown are still most certainly a couple. Sadly though Rihanna only seems to have been prompted to do this after realising that members of the public had already taken and were uploading pictures of Rihanna and Chris Brown together onto the Internet.
This brings us rather neatly onto Malawian President Joyce Banda's criticism of Madonna following Madonna's recent trip to the country. Banda claimed that Madonna had lied about the extent of her charity work in Malawi but the key criticism was; "Granted, Madonna is a famed international musician. But that does not
impose an injunction of obligation on any government under whose
territory Madonna finds herself, including Malawi, to give her state
treatment." This is very easy to interpret as at least one southern African nation warning Rihanna that if she attempts to enter the country she should not expect any special diplomatic protections or exemptions. That means that if she intends to take Chris Brown to South Africa we're going to start having to look at adding armed guards to the tour staff which will dramatically drive up the cost because local hires certainly can't be trusted not to take pot-shots themselves.
Also should point out that the US Congress will be debating an possibly voting on gun control later today. This has been brought forward especially to coincide with me going out to dinner with my brother and mothers in a Croydon restaurant for a belated celebration of my brother's birthday. Take a wild guess at what the main topic of conversation amongst my highly political family is going to be.
