In
what I can only assume is an attempt to bankrupt the entire tour as soon as the
final Auckland concert is finished Rihanna and all her tour equipment will have
to be flown at great expense to South Africa so Rihanna can perform two loss
making stadium concerts in Johannesburg on October 13th (13/10/13) and in Cape
Town on October 16th (16/10/13). Both of these concerts relate to the current
situation in Mali where French troops backed by the United Nations (UN) are
trying to defeat an Islamist insurgency and rebuild a functioning state in
order to prevent the Islamist terrorists operating in the country in the
future. Certain nations such as the US have a different view. Instead they
would prefer to use the conflict in Mali along with Rihanna's tour to exert
maximum pressure on the African nations making up the UN peacekeeping force in
order to better help the Islamist terrorists flourish in all those other
African nations. That way the US and others can sell weapons to both sides in
order to ensure they're forced to sell their valuable natural resources (such
as Diamonds) at knock-down prices. Being one of the African nations that is
supplying troops to the UN peacekeeping force South Africa has agreed to the
Rihanna concerts in the hope of learning some great secret that they can use to
gain a competitive advantage over their regional rivals. The US of course
agreed to the concerts in the hope of dumping a whole lot of extra special
pressure on the regions dominant power.
Fortunately
for South Africa the two big pressure points failed to materialise. Despite
some initial noisy allegations of vote rigging the election in Mali seems to
largely have been run smoothly and fairly. Although he's a southerner the
winner Ibrahim Boubacar Keita seems to be a man of integrity with proven
democratic credentials who seems well placed to keep on the national factions
united. We are though all very interested to see what the insurgents will do
next. Similarly Zimbabwe's election produced a clear winner which has been
accepted without significant protest now the MDC-T have sensibly withdrawn
their legal challenge to the result. However the CIA handlers seem intent on
pressing ahead with their plan regardless. As such they've been working hard to
make sure that a song called "Rihanna" by a nominally Nigerian
wrapper called Orezi has been at the top of the charts in most sub-Saharan African
nations. They have also failed to issue a restraining order keeping Chris Brown
from contacting Rihanna in create speculation that he could be joining Rihanna
on tour. If the South African government foolishly decide to allow Chris Brown
into their nation it will lead to a discussion about his safety which will
rapidly turn into a discussion about the Shrian Dewani case that has touched on
so many things - not least the COP17/CMP7 Summit and Zimbabwe's election.
Therefore my concern is that although they've sensibly kicked the Oscar
Pistorious case into the long grass under this sort of pressure the South
Africans might panic and come down hard on Rihanna if an effort to uncover some
great secret that isn't actually there. Of course the overall security situation
in South Africa is not up to US or European standards so while the South
Africans won't attack Rihanna or her fans during her visit someone else might
attack them in order to attack the South Africans by proxy much as they did
when Rihanna joined Chris Brown on his tour in Cote D'Ivorie over the New
Year's holiday.
Following
the Cape Town concert Rihanna and all her tour equipment will have to be flown
at great expense to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on October 19th
(19/10/13). This is intended to be the moment of crowning glory in the CIA
handlers plan for the tour. Along with all other Gulf Monarchies Abu Dhabi is
run in accordance with a strict, Sunni interpretation of Islamic Shaira law. As
such it has very stiff penalties for the use and possession of illegal drugs
(grains of marijuana in the treads of your sneakers count), immodest dress,
extra-marital sex and the sort of lewd behaviour that pretty much defines every
aspect of Rihanna's existence. Foreigners even require a special government
licence to posses or consume alcohol. Therefore Abu Dhabi is not a place
Rihanna is likely to enjoy visiting. As is it is inconceivable that Rihanna
or anyone in her wider tour party will attempt to smuggle marijuana into the
country and with it being very difficult to obtain from inside the nation the
hope is that the stress of the situation coupled with the stress carried on
from South Africa and the absence of a drug that Rihanna seems dependent on
will combine to cause Rihanna to have a massive Azerbaijan style nervous
breakdown whilst in Abu Dhabi. The US hopes that this implosion by Rihanna will
help restore the honour to the Gulf Monarchs (Emirs) that she took from them by
triggering the Egyptian revolution. Of course since the planning stage the
CIA's assertion that Rihanna was responsible for the so-called 'Arab Spring'
has been thoroughly discredited and Egypt has once again changed direction.
Therefore the US will now be hoping that Rihanna's visit will cause enough
drama that it will help them learn about the Gulf Monarchies feelings about the
current situation in the region.
Immediately
after the Abu Dhabi concert Rihanna will travel to Israel for a concert in Tel
Aviv on October 22nd (22/10/13). Knowing exactly what the US' plan for Rihanna
is and very much disapproving of it Israel has rather nobly insisted that the
concert after the Abu Dhabi concert is in Israel so they can provide Rihanna
with a place of safety in which to rest and recover. I suggest she takes full
advantage of this because as she's not a Palestinian short of running guns to Gaza Israel will allow Rihanna pretty whatever she likes
After
a quick rest stop in Israel Rihanna's tour will move on to a series of concerts
in the Caribbean starting in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic on October 26th
(26/10/13) followed by San Juan, Puerto Rico on October 29th (29/10/13) before
finishing in Bridgetown in Rihanna's native Barbados on November 1st (1/11/13).
The main theme of these concerts will be US immigration policy. Puerto Rico is
a US Commonwealth meaning that while it has a degree of autonomy its people are
considered US citizens who have the same rights to live and work on the US
mainland as any other US citizen. However people born in the Dominican Republic
and Barbados have a much tougher time being granted permission to enter the US
resulting in a lot of illegal immigration. Rihanna's own immigration status and
the post-September 11th condition that she would have to give up her Bajan
citizenship to become a US citizen in particular is a long standing hot topic
for discussion. Also the Caribbean is a well established cocaine smuggling
route from South America into North America and Europe via Africa. Finally the
Dominican Republic sits on the island of Hispaniola which it shares with Haiti.
Therefore it is likely that there will be some discussion about Haiti's 2010
earthquake in order to damage US President Obama's reputation. After all the
overwhelming response to Haiti's earthquake was Obama's first big international
act as President. Sadly though since then very little has changed in Haiti with
only a tiny proportion of the promised international aid actually turning up.
Shortly
after the Barbados concert Rihanna's tour will move back to the US starting in
Denver, Colorado on November 9th (9/11/13). Colorado of course legalised the
recreational use of marijuana in a ballot initiative at the 2012 US Presidential
election. Therefore the concert will bring the focus back onto that election
and its result particularly Rihanna, Chris Brown and my role in it. Although
they didn't realise it at the time Chris Brown and Rihanna were actually
campaigning against Barack Obama. Being reminded of this detail does not help
Rihanna's reputation especially amongst black Americans which in turn prompts a
discussion about race within US politics and society in general. Also this
concert provides yet another opportunity to discuss Rihanna's marijuana use
which coming hot on the heels of the Caribbean concerts prompts a wider
discussion about drug smuggling routes and drug policy which is a hot issue in
South American politics at the moment particularly in Uruguay.
After
the Denver concert Rihanna's tour moves onto Dallas, Texas on November 11th
(11/11/13). This is the rescheduled date after the April 16th (16/4/13) concert
was cancelled. As such it's rather lost its intended agenda of prompting a
discussion about race in the US by starting a run of concerts across southern
US states such as Georgia and Florida. Although the concert was rescheduled
rather than cancelled to provide an excuse to drag the tour out leading to the
China concerts, the Philippines concert etc with it being added to the schedule the
handlers have made a rushed effort to give it some political significance.
Texas is traditionally a deeply Republican state and bordering Mexico
immigration particularly illegal immigration is a massive issue within Texas
politics. The federal US government is currently in the process of trying to implement
new immigration laws meeting stiff opposition from both Republicans and
Democrats. By bringing Rihanna to Texas so soon after the Caribbean concerts
the CIA handlers are hoping she will help bring the immigration debate to
Texas.
Following
the Dallas concert Rihanna's tour moves on to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for a
concert on November 12th (12/11/13). I hate to break it to the people of
Oklahoma but politically this concert is really just there to make up the
numbers. However Rihanna's path from Texas to Oklahoma will be reminiscent of a
number of highly destructive tornadoes that occurred towards the end of the
first US leg of Rihanna's tour. This will help feed into the debate about quantum
field theory and whether Rihanna can somehow control the weather. As Rihanna
will be flying by private jet throughout this final leg of the tour there is
also a hope of prompting discussion about aircraft emissions in terms of
efforts to tackle global warming. Mainly though the Texas to Oklahoma journey
is supposed to create an almost subconscious association between Rihanna and
death and destruction which is not likely to help Rihanna's career any.
Helping
to feed that association following the Oklahoma concert Rihanna will return to
Texas for a concert in Houston on November 14th (14/11/13). Not only will this
help further associate Rihanna with all those tornadoes it will bring back
memories of the West fertiliser plant explosion and by extension the Boston
marathon bombings and the Bangladesh garment factory tragedy. Being another
rescheduled concert when this concert was first meant to take place on April
15th (15/4/13) it was intended to promote discussion about the parallels
between Rihanna's personal life and the personal life of the late Whitney
Houston. There will likely to be attempts to promote similar discussions
amongst the American public when the concert finally takes place.
Finally
on November 15th (15/11/13) Rihanna will perform the last concert of the tour
in New Orleans, Louisiana. November 15th is my birthday so this concert is a
big, personal "F*ck You!" from Rihanna's CIA handlers to me and my
supporters. You see in order for Rihanna to perform at the closing ceremony of
the 2012 para-Olympic games an awful lot of people had to agree. My people
agreed in the hope that after performing Rihanna would stay in the UK for
London fashion week providing an opportunity for me and her to meet up in order
to see what happens. However as was a big theme of the closing ceremony I've
had a number of similar relationships in the past and they tend to be short
lived, emotionally intense and end with both parties leaving being better
people for the experience. Quite a few people were hoping the same thing would
happen between Rihanna and I. However the handlers in both the US and the UK
agreed in the hope that I would explain in detail those previous relationships
before Rihanna would go back to Chris Brown making me look like a fool with the
damage to my credibility helping Mitt Romney rather than Barack Obama win the
2012 Presidential election.
By dragging the Diamonds World Tour out until the
middle of November the handlers are pretty much destroying any possibility that
Rihanna and I can get together and do what we should have been doing in the
winter of 2012. By announcing the final concert on my birthday the handlers
were sending the message to me and others (mainly Israel) that it didn't matter
what we did to disrupt and destroy their plan for Rihanna they intend to press
ahead with it regardless so we may as well not bother. Also New Orleans is
still associated with Hurricane Katrina. It is widely felt that George W Bush's
response to that disaster which was perceived as racist helped to propel Barack
Obama to victory in 2008. Therefore New Orleans is always a large element of
any discussion about race in modern American politics and society.
Provided
no more concerts are added following the New Orleans Rihanna will
finally return home to Los Angeles in California in order to assess the damage
that has been done to her career. During this post-tour depressive comedown a
restraining order free Chris Brown will no doubt engineer a way to worm himself
into Rihanna's affection and her descent down the Whitney Houston path will
continue apace.
18:55 on 21/8/13.
