The 2021 Eurovision Song Contest Pt.3.

To be read as a direct continuation of Part 2; https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/05/the-2021-eurovision-song-contest-pt2_26.html

Moldova: This year they were represented by Natalia Gordienko with the song; "SUGAR." 

If you are a Rihanna fan. Then there was only one movie at the 2021 Oscars that mattered. "The United States vs Billie Holiday."

A re-imagining of Rihanna's 2013 Diamonds World Tour (DWT). As if Chris Brown and the US Democrat Party had been successful. 

Taking as, very loose, inspiration the story of Billie Holiday. The US Democrats campaign to destroy her. As punishment for her opposition to lynching.

One of Billie Holiday's more famous songs is also called; "Sugar." Her man is her sugar. The sweetness in her life, that she loves to feel on her lips.

Almost as if a regime of just absolute idiots. Have staged a coup d'etat and illegally seized power in the US. 

They are currently trying to re-run Rihanna's DWT. Only with Miley Cyrus in the starring role.

It is here the movie really slipped up. Down playing Billie Holiday's much rumoured bisexuality. Putting about the rumour that Miley Cyrus may be bisexual is, really, the main part of the US' current effort.

Another of Billie Holiday's more famous songs is; "Me, Myself & I." Which does certainly seem to add credence to those rumours about her bisexuality.

At the 2021 Oscars The United States vs Billie Holiday was really a companion piece, a B-movie, if you will. To; "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom."

This told the story of Ma Rainey and her Jazz/Blues band. Over the course of a single recording session in 1927. 

Ma Rainey, as with Billie Holiday, is widely recognised to have been bisexual. Much of the tension in the movie comes from the fact her girlfriend goes off to have sex with the male character played by Chadwick Boseman.

Although, I don't think, featured in the movie. A close collaborator of Ma Rainey was Bessie Smith. Another famously bisexual Black, female Jazz/Blues singer. Originally from the US State of Tennessee.

One of Bessie Smith's most famous songs is; "I Need Some Sugar In My Bowl." 

Inspired by Billie Holiday's song Bessie Smith's sugar is also her man. Although she goes into a lot more explict detail. About exactly where she wants to feel that sweetness, each and every day.

Feeding into that constant Eurovision debate. About what is considered acceptable content for a family show. Being broadcast across a wide range of countries and cultures.

Nina Simone recorded a toned down version of the Bessie Smith song; "I Want Some Sugar In My Bowl." This 'clean' version is by far the more famous of the two.

The video in support of Moldova's entry. Is very heavily inspired by the video to the Katy Perry song; "California Gurls."

Katy Perry used to be married to British, I would say; "wastrel," Russell Brand. When you used to hear from him Russell Brand used to like to tell a story.

Of how he was arrested at a protest in the Soho-area of London, UK in 2002. After climbing atop a TV broadcast van and stripping nude.

What actually happened is that around five police officers moved into arrest him. Only to be beaten back by the crowd. Prompting the police to unleash a baton charge. Made up of some 200 officers, in full riot gear.

That baton charge came to a halt. When it met with me. My first bisexual, Israeli girlfriend and her Black British girlfriend. Two of those three people were absolutely off-their-heads on LSD at the time. 

Into that no-man's land crept a photographer. Who shot a dramatic image of this massed line of police officers, in full robocop gear, baying for blood.

That photograph went on to become, essentially, the UK recruiting poster. For protests opposed to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Whomever prints the T-shirts. For the "Sonny" character in the US TV show; "SEAL Team." Seems very familiar with the image.

Katy Perry went on to do the song; "Part Of Me." 

The video for which sees her enrol is US Marines bootcamp. A rather intense swipe at my Israeli ex-girlfriend's refusal to participate in her compulsory military service.

On the actual day/night of the invasion of Iraq. I got a little bit involved in the protests. 

Alongside my second bisexual girlfriend's girlfriend. We were the two thirds of that World Famous Thrupple who had certain 'conditions' preventing us from leaving the country.

This all makes the point to America.

If Miley Cyrus is bisexual. And if I did start dating Miley Cyrus. Then she would only be the third bisexual woman that I, personally, have dated.

If we only end up becoming friends. Then Miley Cyrus would only be about the tenth bisexual woman that I have been friends with in real life.

Miley Cyrus wouldn't even be the first famous American bisexual female singer. From the US State of Tennessee.

Meaning that they're going to have to go a lot further than spreading rumours that Miley Cyrus may be bisexual. If they want to shock the World from its axis.

At the time of Rihanna's DWT she was friends with Katy Perry. Which made Katy Perry and I allies. Against Chris Brown.

During this I made frequent reference to Katy Perry's guest role in the US TV show; "How I Met Your Mother." A character who was the absolute picture of gullibility.

In light of new, Buffy the Vampire Slayer related, information. That sounds like the sort of thing I really should apologise for.

Also during the time of Rihanna's 2013 DWT I found myself an ally of Shakira. Something which will, no doubt, make one of my bisexual ex-girlfriends extremely jealous.

This was a major feature of Shakira's performance at the 2020 Super Bowl Half-Time Show. Something Natalia Gordienko referenced in her live performance. Giving it her best Shakira impression.

Shakira brought Rihanna in for the song; "Can't Remember To Forget You." With the video's 2Tone Records, "Specials AKA" imagery. This was Shakira's effort to shove Rihanna firmly in my direction.

Just as people are currently trying to shove Miley Cyrus firmly in my direction now. Amid much 2Tone Records, Specials AKA imagery.

Not that you would think a woman who has been stalking me since 2013 would need much encouragement. 

The video for the Katy Perry song California Gurls is full of very funny, purile sexual innuendo.

The giggling virgin level. To which US government policy has now collapsed.

Just with none of the comedic charm.

The Katy Perry song California Gurls is inspired by The Beach Boys song; "California Girls." 

The song also seems to have inspired the Waylon Jennings song; "Mason Dixon Lines." Or, at least, they were both working from the same source material. 

Everyone may have forgotten. That the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest was won by Duncan Laurence. Representing The Netherlands with the song; "Arcade."

This was a reference to how Northern Irish Protestants/Loyalists. Have their own, different, version of the Roy Orbison song; "Penny Arcade." They also have their own, different, version of The Beach Boys song; "Sloop John B" (The Famine Song).

The video in support of Moldova's entry. Differs from the Katy Perry California Gurls video in one key area. It features life-size, dancing ice-cream cones.

Sadly, due to the need to reference Shakira. These did not make it into the live performance. Which is a shame. That is exactly the sort of madness the Song Contest adores.

These ice-cream cones were intended as a reference to the US TV show; "Blindspot." Specifically the Icelandic hacker character; "Icecream."

Blindspot is a TV show that's long been appreciated by the Eurovision community. It brings the sort of madcap, comic-book, Joss Whedon/Nathan Fillion energy to the typical US police procedural.

It also brings a subtle female perspective to the action genre. Making for a TV show that is really unlike any other.

The central premise is that a woman with no memory is found fully nude in a bag in Times Square, New York City, US. Her body is covered in tattoos. Which are clues to crimes the FBI team must solve.

With the subtle female perspective. This premise allows for lots of discussion. About sexual versus non-sexual nudity. How much of either is acceptable to show on TV. Along with the impact on people who must perform in such scenes.

In the show there are numerous scenes where central, female character is in a room with hundreds of co-workers. All staring at, say, her nude left buttock on banks of giant TV screens. Rather like how an actresses nude/sex scenes would be shot and edited together.

It is often clear. How uncomfortable this makes the lead, female character. It certainly crosses the boundaries most people would expect in the work place.

That lead, female character. Of just so many names. Is played by Jaimie Alexander. Who is a pretty accomplished martial artist in her own right. For the show she has all those tattoos and a rather butch, short haircut.

In the show she is portrayed as heterosexual. As far as I can tell Jaimie Alexander is herself heterosexual.

That allows for discussion. Of that sometimes extremely negative assumption. That women in traditionally male roles must be gay.

I wouldn't say we're trying to de-gay the Song Contest. However there does seem to be a concerted effort to broaden its horizons. Beyond just gay men.

Blindspot is also the TV show British intelligence ripped off. In plotting their 2018 Novichok attack on the Skripals.

If things weren't off the rails for the production by then. It must have started leaning that way when Russia deliberated crashed a Soyuz spacecraft. In direct reference to the show and its role in the Skripal attack.

Only making us love them more. Blindspot then decided to go film in Britain. 

In a season which also included a Novichok type attack on the team's FBI headquarters. The references to specific residents and the layout of specific buildings in Salisbury, UK were not subtle.

Since then Blindpot has filmed in various Eurovision nations. Including Iceland. The lead, female character even speaks Icelandic.

It filmed much of its final season in 2020, predominately in the Czech Republic. They were only one of a handful of productions that continued during Lockdown.

I don't mean they took a break. Then resumed when new protocols were in place. They just had to keep going.

So it seems appropriate to wave a fond farewell to a show that will be lovingly remembered.

However Moldova were particularly interested in the Icelandic hacker. Icecream.

This touches on a range of issues that Iceland are covering themselves. In a lot of detail.

However due to its geography Iceland has emerged as a major technological hub.

In order to run websites you need computer servers. To do things like Cryptocurrency mining you need A LOT of computer servers.

You then need a lot of electricity. First to power the servers. Then to keep the servers cool. Stop them from overheating and catching fire. 

All this Internet Streaming we've been doing during Lockdown is far from environmentally friendly. Elon Musk has recently been vocal on the particular, huge, environmental impact of Cryptocurrency mining.

Iceland however is basically a snow covered volcano. 

So it has, really an excess of, cheap, carbon neutral geothermal energy. With which to produce electricity. 

At the same time. I don't think anyone in Iceland has ever needed to even try and find out what an air conditioner is.

 

I think that completes Moldova.

I've yet to decide when or where I will continue with Malta.

17:15 on 27/5/21 (UK date). 

Edited at around 16:15 on 31/5/21 (UK date) to copy & paste;

 

Malta: This year they were represented by Destiny (Chukunyere) with the song; "Je Me Casse" (That's Not My Soul).

Everything about Destiny's physical appearence, particularly her choice of costume. Just screams; Bessie Smith.

Further driving home that point to America.

If Miley Cyrus is bisexual. Then she wouldn't even be the first famous American female bisexual singer. From just the US State of Tennessee.

Meaning that spreading rumours that Miley Cyrus is bisexual most certainly isn't going to shock the World from it's axis. They should really stop wasting everyone's time.

Destiny actually won the 2015 Junior Eurovision Song Contest. Sending America another important message.

That Miley Cyrus' child stardom isn't going to trouble, let alone shock us in any way.

Although we are prepared to help clean up the mess. That America is clearly making of it.

Provided they're not needlessly aggressive about it. Making it more trouble than it's worth.

Destiny also represented Malta, as a backing singer, at the 2019 Song Contest. The one hosted by Israel, with all the rocket fire.

Israel got to host the 2019 Song Contest after winning the 2018 Song Contest. With the song; "Toy" by Netta (Barzilai). The Israeli Jew I was supposedly anti-Semitic towards. 

An allegation Israel dismissed that at the 2019 Song Contest by declaring me their Messiah, the King of those Jews. Apparently the start of a whole world of (COVID-19) trouble.

Like Destiny Netta Bazilai is a larger woman

I would not describe her as; "Fat" though. Even if she were on a strict diet and exercise regime she would still be the same sort of size. Unfortunately every way I can think of describing her sounds like a euphemism for calling her fat.

The purpose of Israel's 2018 Song Contest entry was to discuss attitudes towards female beauty. Particularly within the music and entertainment industry. 

The example I used was Elle King. The marketing of her debut, 2016 single "Ex's & Oh's" was built entirely around radio airplay. A deliberate attempt to hide the fact that she too is a larger woman. 

It's perhaps telling that Elle King'scareer effectively ended. The moment people found out what she looked like.

Destiny's father is Nigerian. The official biography submitted as part of the entry makes a point that he is part of the Igbo tribe.

Due to this African influence global Black culture, if such a thing exists. Has a very different attitude towards female beauty. Essentially the bigger the better.

This seems to have pushed things to the other extreme. With not just larger women but morbidly obese women being more and more accepted as beautiful. Particularly within the music and entertainment industry.

It is very easy to draw a comparison between Destiny and Lizzo. Particuarly as Destiny cites Lizzo as a hero of hers, bringing her up in conversation at every opportunity. Alongside Beyonce, Meghan Thee Stallion and Cardi B.

In December 2019 a Dr Boyce Watkins pointed out that Lizzo is dangerously overweight. Risking her own health and the health of others. By making such morbid obesity seem like something to aspire to.

Lizzo did not take this criticism in good grace. Slamming the Dr on Social Media and encouraging her fans to do the same.

One of the key co-morbidities of COVID-19 is obesity. Meaning that 2020 really slammed home the point. That the body image being promoted by Lizzo and others is every bit as harmful as Anorexia and Bulimia.

The content of Destiny's song; "Je Me Casse" is all about a woman being chatted up by a man in a bar. He really won't take the hint that she's just not interested. Promising to buy her drinks and gifts with all his money.

The official video, in support of the entry. Shows Destiny mixing all sorts of colourful potions in some sort of chemistry set. 

Creating the suggestion the man might slip a date rape drug into her drink. In order to change her mind about his advances.

This was a reference to Greece's 2019 Song Contest entry; "Better Love" by Katerine Duska

Which bravely attempted to expand the horizons of Song Contest's very gay male fanbase. By introducing them to women's genitals and reproductive systems.

It also looked at the issue of violence, particularly sexual violence against women. However it attempted to look at the issue in a rounded way. Including the fact that some women do sometimes make false rape allegations.

This was inspired by a long-running saga within 2019 Song Contest hosts Israel.

In, I think, 2015, video footage began to circulate on Social Media. Showing a young Israeli woman having sex with multiple men. In public in a Tel Aviv nightclub. Obviously while people watched on and filmed it.

Israeli women's rights activists decided that this could only be rape. So demanded an investigation. 

When the woman was identified she denied that she had been raped. Saying that she had found herself surrounded by lots of sexy men. So decided to have sex with them.

Israeli women's rights activists couldn't accept this. Leading to a whole other debate about why this decision was only arrived at. After all those men had been giving the woman a lot of alcohol and various party drugs.

We were of course all denied this discussion at the 2019 Song Contest. Due to the actions of Britain.

At around the time of the Song Contest they dispatched a prostitute to Greek Cyprus. In order to falsely accuse 12 Israeli men of gang rape. 

They then tried blowing the story up into a global media circus. Putting huge pressure on Israel, Cyprus and Greece.

In launching this violent, lunging attack. Britain only succeeded in knocking the objective it was trying to achieve from the negotiating table.

I assume that Malta, a close ally of Britain is referencing the incident here. To beg Britain to change its ways.

Britain certainly doesn't seem capable of learning from its mistakes on its own. Bringing huge joy to it's enemies and despair to its allies.

As I'm sure you've noticed. I've still not finished my coverage of the 2021 Oscars. Despite Britain wanting to piggyback on my megaphone.

In part this is because the 2021 Oscars only happened at the end of April. Not leaving a huge amount of time to begin with.

However that little time was then wasted. By Britain lauching into yet another violent, lunging, pointless attack.

The big story of the 2021 Oscars was Anthony Hopkins winning Best Actor for; "The Father." Beating out everyone's favourite, Chadwick Boseman. Who had died of bowel cancer.

So on Oscar Sunday Britain dragged my father into hospital for a random, exploratory MRI scan. British hospitals do not normally work on Sundays.

To the surprise of absolutely no-one. This MRI scan saw my father being caught up in a bowel cancer scare. Despite that not even being the part of his body they were scanning.

Britain used this to terrorise my father. Bombarding a deaf man with anxiety inducing telephone calls he had no way of answering. Then subjecting him to highly invasive procedures. That served no medical purpose, other than to have a look.

I'm not sure I would have been able to finish my Oscars 2021 coverage before Eurovision. Even without having to overcome the stress of another of Britain's deranged rampages. 

But I certainly would have been able to cover "Judas and the Black Messiah" and "The Trial of the Chicago 7." Two hugely important movies to the current US, and therefore global, political situation.

The current, dire, US political situation. Is, in no small part, the result of another of Britain's violent, lunging, pointless attacks.

For some reason. Britain got it into their heads. That they played an elaborate Jedi mind-trick on me. Getting me to influence the 2016 US Election in favour of Donald Trump.

They decided to play the same elaborate Jedi mind-trick on me in 2020. Thinking that falsely promoting Black Lives Matter would get me to rail against it. Influencing the 2020 US Election in favour of Donald Trump.

Unfortunately the stress of having to overcome yet another of Britain's deranged rampages. Delayed me for a week, allowing the Democrats to steal the election. Using illegal, early voting.

There is now a global effort. To protect the World from the insanity that is the Democrats and Joe Biden regime.

Particularly while the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) continues to shirk its responsibilty. Simply refusing to hear applications that will reveal what we all know to be established fact.

There is no legal basis for Joe Biden to claim to be US President. Nor is there a legal basis for the Democrats to claim to be the party of power.

Britain's sending of its prostitute to Cyprus is really summed up by an old Ska song; "Carry Go Bring Come/Home." 

About a woman likened to a Biblical Jezebel. Going round causing trouble, making all sorts of false accusations about various men.

The version most relevent here. Is; "Carry Go Bring Home" by The Selecter. Released on 2Tone Records.

Reminding everyone of that time Shakira firmly shoved a Chris Brown dating Rihanna in my direction.

Just as everyone seems to be trying to firmly shove a disturbance making Miley Cyrus in my direction now.

The video in support of the entry even features Destiny messing about with quad bikes in the desert. 

In reference to how South Africa tried to keep Rihanna and her group relaxed. By taking them to mess about with quad bikes in the desert. After I called in a favour. 

Ahead of what America hoped would be a fateful visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). On Asia-Pacific leg of the DWT.

For the most part though the video invokes the style of the 'experimental' 2018 movie; "Black Mother." 

Supposedly a celebration of Black motherhood this shows a Black woman, fully nude through the course of her pregnancy. Interspersed with footage of life on the island of Jamaica.

It was one of those movies I tuned into halfway through. To find an about five months pregnant fully nude, full-frontal Black woman standing there on my TV. With absolutely no context.

The movie is directed by Khalik Allah. Who is most famous for directing Beyonce's 2016 "Lemonade." Which celebrates and is celebrated by Black Lives Matter.

As with Black Lives Matter. Khalik Allah is part of that nasty, vicious Nation of Islam (NoI) cult. Which has absolutely nothing to do with Islam. Believing that humans are an alien race that terraformed Earth with their spaceships.

Jamaica is probably synonomous with Rastafarianism. Through people like Bob Marley.

Here Malta touches on what is, really, Israel's main area this year.

I think, particulary due to the pandemic. We're all familiar with the Biblical story of Exodus. In which Moses leads the Jews across the Red Sea to escape Egypt and the 10 Plagues.

It turns out that not all Jews followed Moses. Others fled south to Ethiopia. Forming a strand of Judaism known as Beta Israel.

Beta Israel Jews were forced to convert to Christianity. Being absorbed into the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. As a result the Ethiopian Orthodox Church is much closer to Judaism than other branches of Christianity.

For example it recognises the; "Book of Enoch." Important in the Jewish practice of Kabbalah this is very focused on the importance of the Messiah.

Rastafarianism is really the product of the overlap between Judaism and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Believing that Haile Selassie is the Messiah, the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Through, what seems like very severe drug abuse. In America Rastafariansim has morphed into the Black Hebrew Israelites. Which, like the Nation of Islam is a viciously anti-Semitic Black Supremacist cult. 

One of the core tenents of the Black Hebrew Israelites 'belief' system is that Jews should be exterminated. As it is the Black race which is God's chosen race. They are heretics for claiming otherwise.

As with the Nation of Islam. If you know what you are looking at. Then you can see the hatred that is the Black Hebrew Israelites cult in everything Black Lives Matter says and does.

However I think the most high-profile, recent attack by the group. Was the December 2019 stabbing attack in Monsey, New Jersey, US. 

When a member of the Black Hebrew Israelites attacked a Hanaukkah celebration. Killing one and wounding four.

During that period in late 2019. When the World seemed to go completely mad and COVID-19 came into being.

Although I should point out. The first report of COVID-19 came on December 27th (27/12/19). The day before the Black Lives Matter terror attack in Monsey.

Black Lives Matter are clearly not Destiny's soul. They're not anybody's soul.

It's really past time America cleaned itself out. 

 

To be continued in Part 4.

The 2021 Eurovision Song Contest Pt. 2.

To be read as a direct continuation of Part 1; https://watchitdie.blogspot.com/2021/05/the-2021-eurovision-song-contest.html

Azerbaijan: This year they were represented by (Samira) Efendi with the song; "Mata Hari."

Mata Hari is possibly history's most famous female spy. Her role was to act as that of a; "Honeytrap." Using her feminine wiles to seduce and entice powerful men into spilling their secrets. 

How Miley Cyrus seems to see her role in her relationship with me.

Mata Hari was actually a native of Song Contest 2021 hosts, The Netherlands. Born Margretha Geertrudia Zelle in Leewaurden.

She first trained as a Kindergarten teacher. The educational and emotional level Miley Cyrus seems to be stuck at.

In 1895 Mata Hari married Dutch Colonial Army Captain Rudolf MacLeod in Amsterdam. 

Captain MacLeod was linked to the Scottish MacLeod Clan. However I'm not aware of them being involved in the Dutch/Scottish Orange conquest of Ireland. The famous Battle of the Boyne etc.

In 1897 the couple moved to the Indonesian island of Java. Know at the time as the Dutch East Indies. Allowing for discussion about Colonialism

Along with John Locke's; "Labour Theory of Property" which laid the ideological basis for Colonialism. Such as the first American Homesteaders/Settlers made famous in the; "Little House on the Prairie" stories.

The Labour Theory of Property has been a longstanding problem within efforts to combat Climate Change. It dictates that no-one can be paid for simply not cutting down a tree. 

It has also caused a particular problem during the pandemic

Dictating that people cannot be allowed to natural develop immunity to COVID-19. Instead we must Lockdown until we can pay a Pharmaceutical company to provide us with less effective immunity, in the form of a vaccine.

During her time in, what is now Indonesia. The World's most populous Muslim nation. Matra Hari embraced local culture and joined a dance troupe. Chosing the stagename; "Mata Hari." Malay for; "The Eye Of The Day." Meaning; "The Sun."

By 1903 Mata Hari's marriage to MacCleod had failed. Prompting her to move to Paris, France to work as an exotic dancer. What today would be described as a stripper.

Apparently Marta Hari pioneered the use of the flesh-coloured bodystocking. Something which has become integral to the Song Contest. With its constant discussions about what is acceptable to show in terms of nudity and sexual content. Across a wide range of nations and cultures.

The flesh-coloured or; "Nude Effect" bodystocking played a large part in Iceland's 2019 Song Contest entry. Perhaps in reference 2019 hosts Israel were represented this year by Eden Alere. Without a nude-effect bodystocking I think her costume would have caused alarm to all.

Marta Hari though, apparently, soon dispatched with the nude-effect bodystocking. Being happy to show absolutely everything on stage. 

Curiously though still abiding with the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) absurd; "No Nipples Rule." Refusing to show her breasts.

Apparently this is because she felt self-concious about her small breasts. Something which seems to be a major driving factor behind Miley Cyrus' hostility towards Rihanna.

During the First World War Mata Hari was employed as a spy by French Military Intelligence to spy on the German leadership. It is claimed that she was a double agent, spying on France for Germany. Leading to France executing her in 1917.

It has been disputed ever since. Whether Mata Hari actually spied for Germany. Or whether France merely made her a scapegoat. For the failure of an ill-concieved and poorly planned espionage operation.

In her performance Efendi wore an Ariana Grande style ponytail. In reference to Miley Cyrus' appearence at the 2017 One Love Manchester concert.

Sending the message that not only does everyone know that the US are attempting to use Miley Cyrus as a sort of global honeytrap. Everyone also knows exactly what Miley Cyrus' objectives are.

Meaning that in espionage terms the US Miley Cyrus mission has already failed and is over. So they shouldn't waste either her or their time on it anymore.

Efendi's more general look was inspired by Kim Kardashian. In reference to how absolutely appalling bad Miley Cyrus has been in her efforts to act as a honey trap. 

If she is going to use her feminine wiles to entice and seduce me into spilling my secrets. She's first going to have to learn to be vaguely likeable. Launching savage personal attacks on me and my friends is really not the way to do that.

Representing Azerbaijan Efendi is ethnically Azeri. Kim Kardashian is ethnically Armenian. In Song Contest circles it is completely unprecedented for an Azeri to defend an Armenian.

Due to the Nagorno-Karakbah Region (NKR) dispute. Azerbaijan and Armenia's history at the Song Contest is one of hurling absolutely savage abuse at each other.

In 2014 the Swedish hosts had to assign armed police bodyguards to both the Azeri and Armenian delegations. Literally to stop them killing each other.

In 2015 Azerbaijan attacked Kim Kardashian personally. As the World's most famous Armenian.

So it really underlines how sickenly spiteful and unpleasent Miley Cyrus' behaviour to Kim Kardashian has been. That even Azerbaijan thinks it has gone too far.

Such is the level of hostility that Miley Cyrus has exceeded. Azerbaijan felt they couldn't openly defend Kim Kardashian. 

So if you were a casual viewer of Saturday's (23/5/21) Grand Finale. I'm sure you'd be able to dismiss is as an attack on Kim Kardashian. As an Armenian Mata Hari.

Azerbaijan's performance also envoked references to Egypt. Although, in true Eurovision style, nothing to overt.

So there was a light/laser display which formed triangles, easily mistaken for Pyramids. 

There was a dance routine that seemed inspired by Beyonce's 2008 "Single Ladies." 

This could have easily been mistaken for the dance routine in The Bangles 1986 "Walk Like A Egyptian." Which, incidentally, seems a bit racist now.

This was intended to further send the message. Of how futile America's Miley Cyrus mission is.

What America is trying to do is repeat the mission of Rihanna's 2013 Diamonds World Tour (DWT). Just with none of the resources. The pandemic cancelled Miley Cyrus' 2020 Tour. It won't be happening in 2021 either.

The other thing the Americans seem to have forgotten. Is that Rihanna's DWT was a failure for them.

The plan was to be so antagonistic during the first, North American leg. That everyone would retaliate during the second, European leg. Raising the tension for the final, Asia-Pacific leg.

Funnily enough. The nations that have been doing the Eurovision Song Contest every year, for six decades. Were not, in any way, troubled by this US effort at politically tinged pop music.

During the European leg of the DWT even I sodded off and did something else. 

Getting arrested on the equivalent of an attempted murder charge. Then assisting in Egypt's second Revolution, ovethrowing the Muslim Brotherhood puppet, Mohamed Morsi. From my jail cell.

So. The usual, then.  

Meaning we are forced to check with Miley Cyrus and America;

"You did notice that it was a Japanese cargo ship that blocked Egypt's Suez Canal? After all, in comparison. Not even Elon Musk's wealth seems particularly dazzling."

"In case you didn't. They did put references to the Japanese rising sun in the light show.

Mentioning Egypt allows for discussion of Gal Gadot.

Like my first bisexual girlfriend Gal Gadot is an Israeli Jew. Unlike my ex-girlfriend she actually did her compulsory military service.

Gal Gadot is most famous for playing "Wonder Woman."

As I mentioned during my discussion of the Oscars. The 2017 Wonder Woman movie is actually a Chinese, rather than an American movie. Produced by Tencent Pictures. Something which is noticeable in its political tone.

Normally you would expect a movie featuring an Israeli Jew as a warrior superhero. To be a thundering piece of Zionist propaganda. Rather like everyone's favourite pandemic lockdown movie; "World War Z."

Instead though Wonder Woman offers a different perspective. With the Israeli Jew constantly having to struggle against a British Lord Balfour like character and his stupid plans.

First appearing in comic books in 1941 Wonder Woman is the creation of psychologist William Marston. A man whose personal life has even me thinking; "That's a bit weird." 

For 22 years Marston lived as part of what, these days, people are insisting on calling a; "Thrupple." A three person couple. With his wife Elizabeth Marston and their partner Olive Byrne. 

The relationship produced three children. With Elizabeth giving birth to one and Olive giving birth to two. It lasted until their deaths. 

The three seemed to be united by their mutal passion for really extreme Bondage Domination Submissiom Maschosism (BDSM) sex. 

The Wonder Woman character and comics are inspired and reflect that relationship. Not even subtly, with things like the; "Lasso of Truth."

Leading to the Wonder Woman comics being banned for a short-time. Under US obscenity laws.

All suggesting that America will have to go a lot further. Than spreading rumours that Miley Cyrus may be bisexual. If they wish to shock the World from its axis.

Through the Wonder Woman character Gal Gadot has gone on to work with Joss Whedon. Of  "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" fame.

Leaving me with this nasty feeling. I've definitely come up in conversation in Gal Gadot's world.

One of Gal Gadot's next projects is playing the famous Queen of Egypt Cleopatra

An announcement that saw her engulfed in a storm of criticism by western leftists. Particularly the US extremists of Black Lives Matter.

They were all furious that as a White woman she would dare to attempt to play a Black Queen of Egypt.

All this did was highlight Black Lives Matter deranged historical revisionism. Along with their extreme anti-Semitism.

There has long been debate as to whether Cleopatra was Balkan - Macedonian/Greek. Or Persian - Iranian/Syrian. 

However there has never, ever been any suggestion that Cleopatra was Black. 

Outside of the, just insane, alternative reality in which western leftists and Black Lives Matter activists exist.

Very few people in Africa, north of the Sahara are Black. Living on the banks of the Mediterranean Sea they tend to be distinctly Mediterranean in appearnce.

One of the main sponsors of the 2021 Song Contest was Moroccan Oil, a haircare product. This seems to be a part of a long-running discussion over including these southern and eastern Mediterranean nations in the Song Contest.

Morocco actually competed in 1980. Tunisia was scheduled to compete in 1977 but pulled out due to undisclosed (Israel) related reasons. 

Lebanon nearly competed in 2005 but also had to pull out. Due to laws banning the broadcast of Israeli content, a nation Lebanon is technically still at war with.

Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, and Libya are all members of the EBU. 

The Israeli hosted 2019 Song Contest introduced us to the; "Tree of Life" concept from Judaism. The pandemic which cancelled the 2020 Song Contest gave us all time to really contemplate it.

I spent part of the time watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the first time. This touches of the concept of; "Stoic Physics." From the Ancient Greek philosophy of; "Stoicism."

Stocisim came into being at around this time. When Egypt was being ruled by a Balkan Queen who kept Jews as slaves. Prior to their escape at the end of the ten Plagues.

This got me thinking. About whether Stoicism is actually influenced by the Jewish Tree of Life concept. A very early example of the; "Cultural Appropriation" that western leftists and Black Lives Matter despise so much.

I wouldn't describe myself as an expert in either topic. However it struck me as something to think and talk about. Certainly better than sitting around in silence.

A one point in the performance Efendi and her backing dancers formed a line. Giving the impression of a mutli-armed woman.

A reference to Durga, the multi-armed demon slayer from Hinduism. Protector of Devi, the primordial energy, the mother goddess.

This could be intended to promote discussion about Mata Hari's stage persona. Putting the "exotic" into "exotic dancer" she claimed to be an Indonesia/Javanese Princess of divine Hindu birth. 

It could also be intended as a reference to the scandal Rihanna caused. Posting a topless picture of herself to Instagram, wearing a pendant featuring Ganesha. The Hindu god of intellectuals, scribes and authors.

This came so soon after Rihanna had caused another scandal. Demanding to know why no-one was talking about the Indian Farmer Protests.

I really hope it was intended as the latter. It would send a further message to Miley Cyrus. As to why I'm someone worth trying to maintain a good relationship with.

As I'm sure many of them noticed during the recent fighting between Israel and Palestine. 

Whenever a big event like that happens. Celebrities soon find their Social Media accounts full of demands from 'fans' that they pick a side. On issues they know nothing about.

Whatever the issue. The chances are I'm already involved in it. If not, I'll probably be able to figure it out quite quickly.

Explaining it to a celebrity like Miley Cyrus would then be really easy. 

If we were talking privately. I wouldn't have to worry about impacting on the situation being discussed. 

If we were talking directly I also wouldn't have to try and guess the level of knowledge. If there's anything they needed explaining further, they can just ask.

You, know. That thing every human on Earth does hundreds of times each day. Without ever having to think about it.

That's actually what Rihanna's India scandals were about.

She asked my to explain the Indian Farmer's Protests. Only taking the less than direct route. 

Of asking the question on Twitter. In the hope it would cause such a storm it would be picked up by one of the news sites I read.

It did. Rather than just telling her the answer. I set Rihanna homework.

That Ganesha picture was Rihanna's way of thanking me.

Obviously think we should do that more. 

Only privately, where we don't set the World on fire. And where she's not bound by Instagram's absurd No Nipples rule. 

I, of course, would be more than happy to have a similar relationship with Miley Cyrus. 

After all it's not her bra size that makes Rihanna more attractive to me. It's that we've known each other for the best part of a decade. Meaning we've built up the chemistry needed to get away with things like that.

Despite being Azeri Efendi has strong links to Kazakhstan. Links which were very much played up in her official biography. Submitted as part of the entry.

For example she placed third in the 2017 "Silkway Star" singing competition. In 2019 Efendi performed in the "Star of Nur-Sultan" singing competition.

Kazakhstan is central to the ongoing war against the Islamic State of the Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and associated groups. Particularly in Syria. The "Astana Process" is named after the Kazak capital Astana, where the first meetings were held.

To give you an idea of how long the Astana Process has been dragging on for. The Kazak capital Astana no longer exists. It's now named Nur-Sultan.

I'm sure everyone has noticed. Twitter's blocking of my account is not preventing me covering the Super Bowl. Nor is it preventing me covering The Oscars. 

It certainly isn't preventing me covering the Eurovision Song Contest.

The only thing Twitter is preventing is my involvement in the ongoing war against ISIL and associated groups.

They are providing active, material support to a genocidal terror group. Proscribed under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter.

If they intend to continue. They should count themselves very lucky if they only end up in prison for the rest of their lives.

The Belt and Road Iniative. As the new Silk Road. Is a bit more than I can squeeze in tonight.

To be tidied, proof-read, spellchecked and completed tommorrow.

18:48 on 25/5/21 (UK date).

Edited at around 16:50 on 26/5/21 (UK date) to fill in the above Gal Gadot/Rihanna placeholders. And copy & paste;

As you may have noticed from it's "Silkway Star" singing competition. Or it's "Silkway Airlines" Kazakhstan is very proud of its place on was known as; "The Silk Road."

Based around the trade in silk this is probably the most important thing in human history. Between the 3rd Century B.C and the 19th Century A.D. 

Originating in China it was a network of trade routes. Spreading to Japan in the east and down through Europe into sub-Saharan Africa in the west and south. 

Absolutely all exchanges between different cultures for over 2,000 years spread on the Silk Road. 

Not only goods like silk but also technological advances such as paper and gunpowder. Along with the exchange of cultural ideas like philosophy and fashion. The Cultural Appropriation that Black Lives Matter despise so much.

It was actually something else Rihanna asked me to do around the time of her India scandals. 

Explain to her fans a sequence in the final episode of Season 4 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 

Featuring the "Tara" character, a White woman. Wearing something her fans had mistaken for an Indian Lehenga outfit. Which they deemed to be Cultural Appropriation. A sign the TV Show must surely be evil.

The outfit was being used not because it is of Indian origin. But because of it was of Afghan origin. It was a reference to; "Operation Infinite Reach." 1998 US missile strikes against Al Qaeda bases in Afghanistan and Sudan.

Due to my relationship with samarui swords. Joss Whedon and Buffy the Vampire Slayer were amongst just a handful of people who'd recieved vague warnings about the possiblity of the 2001 9/11 attacks.

The Silk Road is really the reason the Lehenga is worn in both India and Aghanistan. 

The strange bit was that I actually had this same argument with Rihanna during her DWT. 

A fashion house gifted her a coat in a vaguely Indian/Oriental style. Leading to Rihanna getting attacked for Cultural Appropriation. Of both Indian and Chinese culture.

It was just an odd moment for me. Remembering the person I was having the discussion with was the person I had the argument with. The argument that I kept referencing in the discussion.

Sadly on that occassion I did not recieve thanks from Rihanna. So I'm still not sure if she remembers having that argument.

China is now trying to re-open the Silk Road. Through it's; "One Belt, One Road Initiative" (Belt and Road Initiative). Choosing Kazakhstan to launch the initiative in 2013.

The purpose of the Belt and Road Initiative is to build modern transport infrastructure. Roads, Railway Lines, Sea Ports, Air Ports etc. In 70 nations on the path of the Silk Road. Japan in the east through to sub-Saharan Africa in the west, south.

The Belt and Road Iniative is an almost incomprehensibly massive topic.

One of the news sites I read daily is China's Xinhua. It has an entire section dedicated just to daily updates on the Belt and Road iniative.

This is what I tend to do with my day. Read extremely thrilling reports on Chinese port construction in countires you've probably never even heard of.

However the main controversies over the Belt and Road Initiative is that it is being funded through credit. From either the Asia Infrastructure and Investment Bank (AIIB). Or the dedicated Silk Road Fund.

All forms of debt give the creditor power over the debtor. For as long as the debt lasts.

So the concern about the Belt and Road Initiative is the amount of power it will give to China, across 70 nations. Along with Less Economically Developed Nations (LEDC's) being forced to take on unsustainable levels of debt.

The Belt and Road Initiative is also taking place within the European Union (EU). Where is causing a bit of tension.

Poorer, southern, EU nations with creaky infrastructure, such as Italy are very keen. While richer, northern, EU nations with good infrastructure, such as Germany are less keen. More concerned with growing Chinese influence.

This tension is central to the EU's pandemic recovery fund. These funds are to be spent on infrastructure projects. A way to counter the Belt and Road Initative.

Or at least it would be.

If the EU's gay community wasn't holding up everybody's pandemic recovery funds. 

As part of an extremely bloody battle over the percieved homophobia of the governments of Poland and Hungary.

Meanwhile, in America, Joe Biden seems to have heard the word; "Infrastructure" and decided to steal it as the basis for his pandemic recovery plan.

Clearly, with absolutely no idea what's going on.

The 2021 Eurovision Song Contest.

Yesterday (22/5/21) saw the Grand Final of the 65th Eurovision Song Contest. Held in Rotterdam in The Netherlands.

The Song Contest is the big gala event of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). 

Founded in 1950 the EBU is a network of 115 TV and Radio broadcasters across 56 nations. Along with 34 associate members spread across 21 nations. 

Its mission is to promote unity amongst its members. While furthering technological advancement in the field of Information Communication Technology (ICT).

The EBU was founded six years before the launching of the first satellite, Sputnik-I, into space. Eighteen years before the invention of the first microprocessor. Marking the start of the computer age.

The first challenge the EBU set itself. Was to develop technology to simultaneously broadcast live TV pictures and audio across a continent.

It took them six years to achieve that goal. Leaving them with just one remaining problem. What to point the cameras and microphones at?

They settled on the idea of a singing competition.

Since then the Eurovision Song Contest has grown, massively. Into a forum for its participating nations to discuss the big political and social issues on the day.

I don't mean just the social and vaguely political issues. Such as those discussed by the Super Bowl and Oscars in the US.

The Song Contest tends to deal with full on, hardcore matters of policy. Such as specific clauses in European Union (EU) legislation. 

It also serves as something of a safety valve. Allowing nations to release the aggression they hold towards each other over various disputes. Without having to resort to actual war.

In 2020 the Eurovision Song Contest was cancelled. For the first time in its 65 year history.

In the year since. Across those 56 nations and 21 associate nations. Precisely 5 things have happened.

1. The Pandemic. Which caused the 2020 Song Contest to be cancelled.

The Song Contest has a large gay, male fanbase. 

Feel free to discuss whether those AIDS riddled homosexuals. Shrill inability to understand the role of the T-cell within the human immune system. Let alone the simple fact that the World does not revolve around them.

Has been, really, the main driver behind the fear, paranoia and hysteria which has defined the pandemic. Making it far more deadly and destructive then it has needed to be.

With their very camp Nuclear Biological Chemical (NBC) Protective Suit costumes. Lithuania has certainly been encouraging you to have that discussion.

2. The war over the Nagorno-Karabakh Region (NKR). A significant escalation in the hostility between Armenia and Azerbaijan. From the insults they normally hurl at each other during the Song Contest.

Recently the World seems to have been completely transfixed by fighting between Irseal and Palestine. Shocked that some 200 people were killed in a week of fighting.

In this fighting over the Nagorno-Karabakh Region a thousand people were being killed a week. Over a period of five weeks.

No-one seemed to notice.

3. The EU's gay community decided to pick an extremely bloody fight with itself. Blocking the distribution of financial relief for the pandemic. As part of a dispute between Poland and Hungary and the other EU member states.

Particularly in Poland there are many issues involved. Such as efforts to pack the country's Supreme Court. Making it nothing more than body to rubber-stamp the actions of the ruling Law & Justice Party (PiS).

However opposition to the PiS within the EU is really fuelled by the fact it is a Conservative, Catholic Christian party. Opposed to gay rights. A similar position to that of the government of Hungary.

4. The EU's gay community decided to pick another extremely bloody fight with itself. This time in an effort to overthrow the government of Belarus. In order to impose a pro-EU, anti-Russian regime.

The crisis in Belarus has been entirely Britain's work. An effort to set the EU against itself. During the intense year of Brexit negotiations.

Britain was able to do this by exploiting the gay community's seemingly feeble-minded inability to see any issue beyond their obsession with trying to have sex with everything in sight.

They simply got famous British homosexual Stephen Fry to point at Belarusian President Lukashenko and squeal; "He's homophobic!"

Then suddenly, apparently there was no limit to the level of appalling, self-destructive violence the EU's gay community wouldn't be prepared to inflict on itself.

5. Me. I definitely happened in 2020. Some would say overbearingly so.

The 2019 Eurovision Song Contest was held in Tel Aviv, Israel. There the hosts declared me to be their new Messiah, the King of Those Jews. As a joke. 

A way to dismiss claims that I had been anti-Semitic in my coverage of their 2018 Song Contest victory.

Legend has it. That by the winter of 2019 I had become so furious that every cell in my body began to resonate. 

Allowing me to weaponise the Quantum Field and conjure the pandemic as a Biblical plague with which to smite my enemies.

It also forced the cancellation of the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest. Buying me time to catch up with my coverage of the 2019 Song Contest. A privilege I've still yet to take advantage of.

One of the main reasons for this is. That in 2021 I have finally been facing up to my long-time stalker. Miley Cyrus. A woman who, in 2013, just turned up at my house. Completely uninvited.

Obviously my relationship with Miley Cyrus is probably not the most important issue to have affected the Eurovision community. However it is, by far, the one I am the most expert on. 

So on a wet, hungover Sunday afternoon. It seems the best place for me to start.

Much of the current attention surrounding Miley Cyrus stems from rumours that she may be Bisexual.

Amid all this talk of gender fluidity and self-selecting gender pronouns. Bisexuality has become of particularly interest amongst the chattering & ruling classes. Bisexual people being equally attracted to both genders.

Frustratingly, after five months. I'm still not in any position to confirm or deny whether Miley Cyrus is bisexual or not.

In fact I'm getting the distinct impression. That Miley Cyrus is so lacking in emotional maturity. That she is in no position to confirm or deny it either.

However. If it were true.

Then there is an, admittedly small, global community. For whom this is in absolutely no way exciting, exotic or mysterious. It certainly isn't for me.

Long-time readers will know that I've been in separate relationships with not one, but two bisexual women. Thus, by extension, their various girlfriends as well. 

It would genuinely be a novelty for me. To be in a relationship that involved just two people.

If I were to get into any form of relationship with Miley Cyrus. Then her fame means we would need to take certain precautions. To prevent the very intimate details of her sexual and emotional life appearing in the tabloids.

However. I can now legitimately put; "Military Intelligence Officer" on my C.V. So I don't see TMZ being much of a problem.

Once we overcome that small obstacle. Then a relationship between myself and Miley Cyrus should be just the chillest thing ever. Something everyone in the Eurovision community could celebrate.

Like all single people who find themselves shoved together by their mutual friends. I assume it would start with us talking to each other. 

Then, if we find we have things in common, a relationship may develop. In which I might share my life experience with her. Which could help improve Miley Cyrus' life.

In return. All I really get is the small reward of knowing that I've helped make someone elses' life better.

However, so far. Miley Cyrus has reacted with nothing but sickening, childlike aggression and spite. Choosing to launch savage personal attacks on me and everyone around me.

Miley Cyrus is, of course, not the first US-based female popstar I've become entangled with. 

At the Closing Ceremony of the 2012 Summer Paralympics I found myself being forced into a 'marriage' to Rihanna. A distinctly unhappy 'marriage' that continued throughout Rihanna's 2013 Diamonds World Tour (DWT).

There the overriding priority was preservation of life. There was a very real possibility that Chris Brown would end up beating Rihanna to death. 

The next priority was preservation of health. The US' objective was to destroy Rihanna psychologically. Leaving her dependent on Chris Brown and themselves. 

A process immortalised in the 2021 Oscar nominated movie; "The United States Vs Billie Holiday."

Once you've managed to achieve those two objectives. Rihanna being left with any form of career should be considered a bonus.

Rihanna has not been able to tour since 2013. She's not been able to release any music since 2015.

2021 is supposed to be the year that Rihanna relaunches her musical career. 

Me going through a similar experience with Miley Cyrus reopens a lot of long forgotten wounds. At the worst possible time.

I clearly explained this to Miley Cyrus really early on. Yet Miley Cyrus has chosen to continue with the vicious attacks.

Through Rihanna's DWT I, weirdly, became Social Media friends with Kim Kardashian. Perhaps because I occupy that intersection between her ancestral Armenia, Azerbaijan and the Eurovision Song Contest.

Me developing a Social Media relationship with Miley Cyrus also puts pressure on Kim Kardashian. Not least because of the link with Rihanna.

Kim Kardashian is currently going through a divorce from Kanye West. Trying to keep things amicable for the sake of their four children. I don't want to speculate but I doubt the NKR war exactly helped their relationship.

Again I clearly explained this to Miley Cyrus really early on. Yet, again, Miley Cyrus has chosen to continue with the vicious attacks.

This all playing out very publicly also put huge pressure on everyone in that small, global community. Particularly people I've known personally.

I've even heard stories of the actress Anna Paquin now getting attacked. For the life choices she's made as a bisexual woman.

Almost no-one in that small, global community. Enjoy lives as luxurious as Kim Kardashian, Rihanna or Miley Cyrus.

As we know from the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest. One of my bisexual girlfriends was, and I have to assume still is, an Israeli Jew. 

The relationship was really made possible by her avoiding compulsory military service during the second, Al-Aqsa Intifada. Something that horribly scarred everybody that it touched.

That relationship was immortalised by the current Mrs James Bond, Rachael Weisz in the 2017 film; "Disobedience." 

Featuring Rachael McAdams in her first nude scenes. Along with graphic lesbian sex scenes. Which have been described by, even connoisseurs of the genre, as; "Niche."

The film transfers the story to a gentrified Haredi Jewish neighbourhood in London, UK. Which due to my relationship being with a secular Jew from Tel Aviv all came as news to me.

The main US objective of Rihanna's DWT was to force her into a complete psychological crisis/breakdown. During her concert in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

When Israel heard about this. They cancelled a Tel Aviv municipal election. To go through the motions of holding a Rihanna concert. Simply to give Rihanna a place of safety to recover.

As you may have learned from Israel's 2021 Song Contest entry. It has been a long-running sore within Israeli politics. The refusal to grant that right to a place of safety. To Black women who are Jewish.

Reminding everyone of the time Israel granted that right to a Black woman who is not Jewish. Was only ever going to pour more gasoline on the fire.  

Once again I clearly explained this to Miley Cyrus early on. Yet, once again, Miley Cyrus has chosen to continue with the vicious attacks.

So to be continued. Hopefully at a point when I've recovered the ability to do so. 

17:20 on 23/5/21 (UK date).

Edited at around 23:45 to copy & paste. From a life long ago;

Edited again at around 16:26 on 24/5/21 (UK date) to overwrite with a copy & paste;

Miley Cyrus appeared at the 2017 "One Love Manchester" concert. Held in response to the bombing of an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, UK.

That bombing was carried out by the nation state of Qatar. Along with its ally Turkey. Through the Muslim Brotherhood terror group.

Britain's response seemed to be to apologise profusely to both Qatar and Turkey. For allowing its citizens to get in the way of their explosives. While throwing huge amounts of money at them as compensation.

Saudi Arabia responded differently. Leading its allies in a total boycott of both Qatar and Turkey. 

To the point they began plans to build a Manchester-style canal. In an effort to physically remove Qatar from the Arabian Peninsula.

This was an absolutely seismic event in the Middle-East. On a par with the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, the 2003 US invasion of Iraq or the 2010 Arab Spring.

The US Democrat Party and its compliant media have been heavily infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood. To the point that their alleged President, Joe Biden is nothing more than a puppet of Qatar and Turkey.

The five months I've been facing up to Miley Cyrus. Has seen the US put huge pressure on Saudi Arabia and its allies to end to boycott of Qatar and Turkey. Apparently blowing up Ariana Grande concerts is something we should all just accept and celebrate now.

The most high profile part of this effort has been the US ending military support to Saudi Arabia. In its war in Yemen.

The war in Yemen is a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran. It's got to the point where it seems neither side are even bothering to try and keep up the illusion of using proxies any more.

The US ending military support for Saudi Arabia in that war has, obviously emboldened Iran.

At the same time the US is continuing its so-called "Maximum Pressure" campaign on Iran. Through sanctions that former US President Obama stupidly imposed. Then forced the rest of the World to go along with.

In the five months I've been facing up to Miley Cyrus this Iran sanctions issue has been in sharp focus. Through US-led efforts to start lifting those sanctions. But only when the World complies with the Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action (JCPOA).

The JCPOA is being negotiated by Iran the five Permanent members of the UN Security Council (P5). So America, Russia, China, Britain, France. Along with Germany/EU (P5+1).  

I get the impression that the five parties to the negotiation who aren't America. Are just stunned that they're being forced to work with a nation whose main negotiating strategy seems to have collapsed to the level of; 

"Teenage Virgin Giggles After Watching First Porn Movie."

So for the past months America's approach to Iran has been to make it stronger. While, at the same time, making it angrier.

This entire US Maximum Pressure campaign is supposedly being done to protect Israel from Iran. 

However the US has excluded Israel from the JCPOA negotiations. Seemingly in no way interested in hearing Israel's views on its own security.

So not only has America emboldened and enraged Iran. It's also enraged Israel.

As a result Israel and Iran are now at war with each other. Admittedly it's a low-intensity, clandestine war. But a war none-the-less.

A major feature of this war has been Israeli airstrikes against Iranian weapons shipments in Syria. 

Too really drive home the point. That the US' Maximum Pressure campaign and the JCPOA negotiations are contributing absolutely nothing in terms of protecting Israel from Iran.

Part of Iran's efforts in this clandestine war. Has being trying to get its allies in Gaza to resume rocket attacks against Israel. 

Something they'd had only limited success in doing. With Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PiJ) seeming to be more keen than Hamas. Not that they were particularly.

So I don't think anyone should be at all surprised. That this recent bout of violence between Israel and Palestine exploded. During the rehearsal week of the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest. 

Which brought all of the problems caused by Miley Cyrus into sharp focus.

Leaving us with some 200 dead and tens of thousands left homeless.

Which shows the main person Miley Cyrus is hurting with her aggression and spite. Miley Cyrus.

Miley Cyrus is currently at the end of her record contract. Her current single; "Without You" certainly feels like one final release too many.

Obviously Miley Cyrus is going to struggle to find a company prepared to offer her a new record contract. 

If they're going to have to wait 5-7 years before they can actually release anything. While spending a fortune on PR, to get rid of the absolutely radioactive stink. That comes from hundreds of deaths.

It's certainly not going to strengthen her hand in negotiations. The US using those negotiations as a metaphor for JCPOA negotiations.

I've heard a rumour, unconfirmed. That Miley Cyrus has been offered a new record deal. By Japan's Sony records.

The same Sony records that 2021 Eurovision winners Maneskin are signed to.

Belgium were represented by Hooverphonic who were a huge band, even in America, at the turn of the 21st century. That "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Cruel Intentions," "I Know What You Did Last Summer" era.

They left Song records in 2006. To release music independently. They've never been as successful since.

It's actually part of my life experience that Miley Cyrus has prevented me from sharing with her. 

How I've had a relationship with the Japanese State. For almost precisely as long as I've had a relationship with samurai swords. It's funny how that works out.

So it seems unlikely. That collaborating with me would harm Miley Cyrus in negotiations with a Japanese congloemerate.

 

To be continued. Probably in another part now.

The Oscars 2021: Part 5.

To be read as a continuation of Part 4; https://watchitdie.blogspot.com/2021/05/the-oscars-2021-part-4.html

As I've said the two main themes of this year's Oscars can really be summed up by two hashtags. #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter.

Sometimes blending with #OscarsSoWhite the Black Lives Matter campaign is based on the rather vague notion of; "Racial Justice." 

It is particularly centred on giving people from ethnic minorities more opportunity within the entertainment industry. Both to work and to have their stories told.

In meeting the demands of the #OscarsSoWhite campaign the Academy is rather battling America's own history.

The Oscars tend to go for a certain type of movie. One that is rather mainstream and features topics you'd be happy to discuss with your parents. 

The stories of important historical events and figures tend to be popular. As do stories about ordinary people who achieve incredible things.

The problem is that, particularly, Black people have been excluded for much of America's history. 

Denying them the opportunity to be important historical figures like Presidents. Or even ordinary people who achieve incredible things.

There are only so many times you can remake "Amistad" or "12 Years A Slave." Or tell the story of George Washington Carver. Before the source material becomes completely exhausted.

This next group of movies really look at the history of Black people. At various points in America's story.

Ma Rainey's Black Bottom: This tells the story of legendary Jazz/Blues singer Ma Rainey and her band. Over the course of one day in Chicago, Illinois in 1927.

For its first 90 years Black people's role in America was very simple. They were property to be owned by the Democrat Party. To be used as farm machinery and whatever else the Democrats wanted to do to entertain themselves.

Then in 1861 the Republican Party fought a war. To stop the Democrats from owning Black people as property. The Republicans were finally victorious in this US Civil War in 1865.

In 1877 Black people's role in America diverged. Depending on where they were living.

The 1876 US Election was disputed. With the pro-slavery Democrat Samuel J. Tilden claiming to 'win' the popular vote. While anti-slavery Republican Rutherford B. Hayes won the Electoral College. An Abolitionist invention.

As price for conceding the election. The Democrats demanded that Federal troops be withdrawn from the Civil War Southern States. This allowed them to begin what is known as the Jim Crow Era. Essentially returning to keeping Black people as property.

However in the Republican controlled Civil War Northern States and the newly emerging Western States. Black people continued to be free. 

Experiencing unprecedented opportunities and prosperity. Things like the so-called; "Black Wall Street" in Oklahoma in the first two decades of the 20th Century.

Not only did Black people prosper economically in Republican controlled states. They also prospered culturally.

The 1920's and 1930's saw an explosion in Jazz and Blues music. Known as; "The Harlem Renaissance." Centred around the Harlem district of New York City.

You can track the roots Rock and Pop Music. Along with Ska and Reggae directly back to the Jazz and Blues of The Harlem Renaissance.

Technically Ma Rainey was born in Georgia in 1886, just after the Democrats seized back control. While this movie sees her enjoying her freedom in Republican Chicago. However her and her music are very much part of the Harlem Renaissance.

In the first half of 2020 I found myself watching all of the US TV Show; "Boardwalk Empire." 

This explores the relationships between gangsters and politicians across New Jersey, New York State and Illinois. During the 1920's and 1930's Prohibition era.

One thing that struck me from watching Boardwalk Empire. Was just how recent the US Civil War actually was.

At various points across the five seasons they hold Memorial Day events. Attended by military veterans. Including veterans of the US Civil War.

Although they were only children. My grandparents were most certainly alive during the time Boardwalk Empire is set. So for young adults today the US Civil War is only actually about four of five generations ago.

Boardwalk Empire seems to have attracted a lot of attention in 2020. With lots of cast members suddenly starting to turn up in other things. Along with movies like Ma Rainey's Black Bottom getting made.

In part this is because Boardwalk Empire centres on a corrupt politician in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Where President Trump famously owned a casino.

Mainly though this period of the 1920's and 1930's is known, in the western world as; "The Roaring Twenties.

A huge period of celebration, partying, freedom and excess. It's often seen as a backlash against suffering of the First World War and the Spanish Flu Pandemic.

Lots of people, particularly economists, have been speculating that we could emerge from this current Pandemic in the same way. 

Although you have to wonder how much of that is based in fact. And how much is the result of being cooped up in Lockdown watching Boardwalk Empire.

Ma Rainey's Black Bottom very much deals with the creative process. Talented people feeding off each other to, hopefully, create great art. Along with the tensions and paranoia that arises from being confined in a small recording studio.

So a perfect metaphor for filmmaking during the Lockdown restrictions then.

Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is produced by Denzel Washington. It was originally intended to be one nine adaptations of August Wilson plays made by HBO. However it was made by Netflix after the

HBO deal fell through. With only one of the movies being made. "Fences" which was well received at the 2017 Oscars.

Fences looks at the Black experience in a Civil War Northern State, Pennsylvania, during the 1950's. The period after the Second World War which really sees the start of so-called "Civil Rights Era."

The movie dares to take an unvarnished, balanced look at that era.

Obviously there were huge benefits for Black Americans brought about by the Civil Rights Era. The end of the Jim Crow era in Democrat controlled Civil War Southern States.  For a start.

However there were also downsides. Particularly for long free Black Americans living in Civil War Northern States. Things like the collapse of the Black family and employment leading to an immersion in crime.

The argument the movie was making. As part of a wider discussion. Is that it is these, often self-inflicted problems, rather than racism which are now holding Black people back in America.

The United States Vs Billie Holiday: This movie rather bridges the gap between Ma Rainey's Black Bottom and Fences.

Billie Holiday began her career towards the end of the Harlem Renaissance period. Before dying at the age of 44 in 1959. At the start of the Civil Rights era.

The movie begins with onscreen graphics telling us about the lynching of Emmett Till. Prompting the introduction of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill which failed to pass the US Congress.

Events which prompted Billie Holiday to write the song; "Strange Fruit.

The movie then sets out to tell the story of how the US government went about destroying Billie Holiday. As punishment for the song and her opposition to lynching.

The Emmett Till lynching and the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill have recently become something of a go-to slogan for US Democrats. Particularly in reference to the George Floyd case.

This movie sets out to make a mockery of the Democrats historical revision.

For example Emmett Till wasn't even born until 1941. So certainly wasn't the inspiration for the 1939 song Strange Fruit.

The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was first introduced in 1918. By Leonidas C. Dyer, a Republican

It was repeatedly blocked by Democrats, including Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Who launched the campaign to punish Billie Holiday.

The movie though really focuses on how FDR's pro-lynching stance was continued. By another Democrat President, Harry S. Truman.

Both FDR and Harry S. Truman’s point man at the FBI in the destruction of Billie Holiday was Harry J. Anslinger. The movie ends with a real photograph of him being congratulated by Democrat Party demagogue John F. Kennedy.

The man who had to be killed, by someone who actually did collaborate with Russia. In order for the Civil Rights Era to really begin in earnest. With the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

The 2016 movie “Jackie” looked, in detail, at the immediate aftermath of the JFK assassination. 

It was widely praised at the Oscars. For examination of the event as the start of this collaboration between the US media and the Democrat Party. In the mythmaking and historical revisionism which just seems to be widely accepted as normal today.

It seems a good time to remind social media. That not only was Natalie Portman once ever so slightly critical of the Democrats. She's also a Jew, born in Jerusalem.

The United State Vs Billie Holiday is itself is really an entire exercise in an alternative history. It's not really about Billie Holiday at all.

It's really an alternative history of Rihanna's 2013 Diamonds World Tour. The version where Democrat President Barack Obama and Chris Brown won.

So in the movie various men are introduced into 'Billie Holiday's' life. They are all acting on orders from the Democrat controlled US Federal government. To feed her Heroin and get her further ensnared in their attempts to destroy her.

Every single one of those men is Chris Brown.

Since the 2021 Super Bowl attempts have been made to turn Miley Cyrus into the new Rihanna.

The people directing this think that because Miley Cyrus is White while Rihanna is Black. This will make the point that it's not about race. It's about Democrats seeking absolute domination and control.

She is, after all, a seemingly perfect case study. In the Democrats desperate need to infantilize the electorate.

Miley Cyrus is herself a proud Democrat. The granddaughter of a Civil War Southern State Democrat Senator in fact.

So it is literally painful for us to watch. Her completely fail to figure this out for herself.

But perhaps that’s our fault. For expecting anything else from a 28 year old who’s clearly still in Kindergarten.

If anything the movie plays down Billie Holiday's rumoured bisexuality. Leaving the fact they both own dogs as really the only visible connection to Miley Cyrus. Which is hardly a unique connection.

Requiring me, as is so often the case with Miley Cyrus. To do most of the heavy lifting.

Billie Holiday was a Heroin addict. At the time of her 2013 Diamonds World Tour Rihanna was something of a Marijuana addict.

This movie seems intended to be watched by Rihanna and her fans. While they're all high on Marijuana.

In keeping with the theme of historical revision. It attempts to mess with the concept of time. Like Marijuana does.

So one scene will begin with an onscreen graphic showing the date. March 3rd 1947, for example. The story will then leap forward to another point without the date being shown on screen.

It will then leap forward again to another point. With the onscreen graphic "Six Months Later." Prompting the question; "Six months from when?"

Throughout the movie really tries to capture the mind bending, hallucinogenic qualities of drug use.

One sequence is supposed to show the characters as they're in a Heroin induced stupor. It sees them witness the aftermath of a lynching. Then descends into a random modern dance sequence.

This was intended as a reference to the 2019 US TV show; "Euphoria." Which ends in a ridiculous, indulgent modern dance sequence. That seems to serve no other purpose than to showcase the lead actress Zendaya's dancing ability.

It was an idea stolen directly from the 2019 UK TV show; "Giri/Haji." Which also featured a random modern dance sequence. However that attempted to tell a story. So the lead character's wife and daughter pull away. Just was the new woman in his life moves towards him.

The movie also features three nude/sex scenes.

The first of these is completely non-sexual. As she is arrested 'Billie Holiday' strips nude in protest.

Shortly after the Diamonds World Tour some nude photographs were leaked of Rihanna. Having been taken as part of an haute couture fitting. 

The director seems to have handed Andra Day, the actress playing Billie Holiday, copies of those photographs and said; "Just do that."

This seemed intended to serve as a talking point about Revenge Porn and the way women's bodies are objectified.

After all I doubt Rihanna would appreciate being reminded of the leaking of those unflattering, stolen photographs. But will probably be able to console herself in the fact she has much better breasts than Andra Day.

The next nude scene is also completely non-sexual. It shows 'Billie Holiday' and other women being hosed down in a prison shower. It's a direct reference to the Netflix show; "Orange Is The New Black." Natasha Lyonne featured in both that and this movie.

Netflix is an online streaming service. So at the time Orange Is The New Black debuted it was no more regulated that online pornography. Something the show took full advantage of in terms of nude and sex scenes.

That serves as a talking point about how online streaming is and/or should be regulated. While proving that gay women can be every bit as sleazy as straight men.

The final nude scene is a sex scene. To be honest I'd rather stopped caring by this point. However I suppose it does contribute to the #MeToo discussion about how the participants in nude/sex scenes are treated within the industry.

The United States Vs Billie Holiday does acknowledge it's connection to Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. Through the "Roslyn" character played by Da'Vine Joy Randolph. Who is remarkably similar to Viola Davies' portrayal of Ma Rainey.

In one scene 'Billie Holiday' and Roslyn wrestle, while clothed on the floor. A reference to a scene in 2013's "Blue is the Warmest Color." In which two women wrestle, nude, in a lengthy and graphic lesbian sex scene.

As with 2013’s “Nymphomaniac” Blue is the Warmest Color isn’t a movie featuring people pretending to have sex. It is a movie featuring people actually having sex. It is often cited in #MeToo discussions about the impact on the people those sort of scenes

Referencing it here also reinforces the point. That in the wide world of the movie making artform. The Oscars are very mainstream. Very tame. Very safe.

The United State Vs Billie Holiday is produced by Sky TV. Not just the Sky TV that operates in the UK but also all the Sky TV's that operate across all of the European Union (EU). The Brexit deal's failure to even attempt to address the trade in audio visual media has certainly complicated the relationship between Sky (UK) and Sky (EU).

You would know that The United States Vs Billie Holiday is produced by all the Sky TV's across Britain and the EU. If you've seen season two of the Sky Germany TV show "Das Boot." All of the costumes, props and sets have come straight out of that into this movie.

I think that the United States Vs Billie Holiday is undoubtedly the greatest movie ever made about Rihanna's 2013 Diamonds World Tour. However that and the Brexit connections are really the only reasons why it was even considered by the Academy.

So it is appropriate that it was Ma Rainey's Black Bottom that won Best Costume and Best Make-Up & Hair.

 

There should be much more to follow. Unfortunately I've been having my time wasted by heavy lifting.
