On Tuesday (27/6/17) it was revealed that the US popstar Rihanna has a new man in her life. He has since been identified as Hassan Jameel a 29 year old native of Saudi Arabia.
Hassan Jameel and his family made their money by being the sole importer of Toyota motor vehicles into Saudi Arabia. Since 2015 he has been under investigation by the US Treasury Department's Terrorism Financing Unit for then supplying those Toyota vehicles to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
This US investigation has led to Hassan Jameel recently developing an unhealthy interest in British supermodel Naomi Campbell. He was in a similar relationship to the one he is currently in with Rihanna with Naomi Campbell back in 2015/16.
Hassan Jameel's interest in Naomi Campbell stems from the testimony she gave against Liberian warlord Charles Taylor in his trial at the International Criminal Court (ICC). Charles Taylor's conviction at that trial set the legal precedent that if you provide any form of material support - such as Toyota motor vehicles - to people engaging in war crimes and crimes against humanity you are responsible for those crimes.
Naomi Campbell's involvement in that trial was triggered by Nelson Mandela. He introduced the two and in an effort to bed the supermodel Charles Taylor gave Naomi Campbell illegal, so-called; "Blood Diamonds." Mandela then took those blood diamonds off Naomi Campbell and stored them in a safe place until they could be used to prove Charles Taylor's involvement in child slavery.
Naomi Campbell does not have a reputation for being particularly intelligent. Nor does she have a reputation for being in any way empathetic to the suffering of others. Therefore there have long lingered questions over whether Naomi Campbell ever knew she was being used by Mandela in an effort to make Charles Taylor pay for his crimes.
The majority of charges Charles Taylor was convicted of at the ICC related to the 1991-2002 civil war in Sierra Leone. This war was only brought to an end when the British military intervened in 2000 under Operation Palliser. Therefore there have also long lingered questions over how involved British intelligence were in Mandela's sting operation against Charles Taylor.
I should also point out that leader of the UK opposition Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn recently condemned Britain's intervention to end the civil war in Sierra Leone. I think that says a lot about the man.
Hassan Jameel's interest in Rihanna stems from the ongoing feud between Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Through an organisation called the Muslim Brotherhood Qatar is closely allied with Turkish President/Prime Minister/Emperor Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
On July 16th 2016 (16/7/16) Erdogan hit a problem. Sections of the Turkish military rose up against him and his efforts to turn Turkey into an Islamist dictatorship.
The US took the curious step of warning Erdogan about this rising in order to help him survive. This warning included getting Rihanna to release the song; "Sledgehammer." Within Turkey is a sort of shorthand for the military rising up against Erdogan.
In retaliation the Saudis launched their operation against Rihanna. In retaliation for the success of the operation the Qataris bombed the Manchester Evening News Arena (MENA) in Manchester, UK during a concert US popstar Arianna Grande was performing as part of her Dangerous Woman Tour (DWT). This was in reference to Rihanna's 2013 Diamonds World Tour (DWT).
News of the Saudis operation against Rihanna was made public on Tuesday (27/6/17) when pictures were released showing Rihanna and Hassan Jameel together at a Spanish villa.
On Wednesday (28/6/17) Spanish authorities launched a series of anti-terrorism raids against people associated with ISIL. The main target of the operation was Tarik Chadlioui a 44 year old preacher of Belgian/Moroccan dual national. Despite being under investigation since 2015 Chadlioui has been allowed to travel freely both within Europe and globally. He was actually arrested in the UK.
On Thursday (29/6/17) there was a curious incident in Spain's immediate European neighbour France. Here a man repeatedly drove his vehicle at low speed into railings outside a Mosque in the Paris suburb of Creteil. This was initially reported as an anti-Muslim terror attack but really barely qualifies as a road collision.
What was interesting about the story is that the vehicle used was widely reported as being a Toyota 4x4 of the type Hassan Jameel has long been suspected of supplying to ISIL. However the vehicle was actually a Renault Clio. Not the sort of vehicle you would ever mistake for a Toyota 4x4. Particularly in a nation which is very proud of building Renault Clio's.
At the risk of slipping into cliche I not actually angry about the Saudi operation against Rihanna. I'm just disappointed.
You almost expect that the Saudis to attempt an operation of this type. However you equally expect that Rihanna and the people around her to make sure that it fails.
The fact that Rihanna and the people around her have screwed up this badly has become a major source of embarrassment to the US.
So on Friday (30/6/17) we had a shooting incident at the Lebanon Bronx hospital in New York City (NYC). Rihanna's mentor and owner of her management company Jay Z is extremely proud of the fact he comes from the Bronx district of NYC. However I suspect the Bronx is about to become a lot less proud of him.
In 2015 though to 2016 the country Lebanon saw mass protests about the failure to collect trash leading to it piling up in the streets. When I heard that Rihanna and Naomi Campbell had apparently been feuding over Hassan Jameel I immediately found myself thinking; "Not since Lebanon have people argued this much over trash."
On Saturday (1/7/17) a hip-hop feud led to a shooting at a nightclub in Little Rock, Arkansas, US wounding 28. Being slightly smaller that the US state of Oregon the US frequently refer to the UK as a little rock. This was intended as a warning to Qatar and Saudi Arabia not to let their feud spill out into the UK again.
On Sunday (2/7/17) US popstar Britney Spears visited Israel. The Israelis made sure everyone knew about this by claiming she was scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu and making sure she was mobbed by aggressive crowds at a trip to the Western Wall.
In 2003 Britney Spears released a song called; "Toxic." On Friday (30/6/17) I described Rihanna's current political status as; "Radioactive." I specifically chose those words to avoid referencing the Britney Spears song.
Legally speaking Britney Spears is actually considered a child. Following a very public meltdown in 2008 Britney Spear's father and her attorney were given legal guardianship (Conservatorship in California law) over all aspects of her finances and personal affairs.
Or to put it in Saudi Arabian terms; "Britney Spears is a woman."
If Rihanna is happy to continue a relationship with a Saudi she clearly has no objections to a third party guardian being appointed to take control of her finances and personal affairs.
Late on Sunday (2/7/17) there was another incident close of a French Mosque. This time in Avignon on the south coast - close to the scene of the 2016 Bastille Day attack in Nice. It appears that in a gang-related incident two men opened fire on a street where a Mosque also happened to be located. The police are searching for a Renault Clio which probably means Toyota 4x4.
On July 21st (21/7/17) a French produced movie called; "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets" featuring Rihanna is scheduled to be released. Rihanna's casting in this movie is part of the multitude of favours that were called in to help decontaminate her following the 2013 DWT.
Now that Rihanna has rejected all that support in the most appalling way it hardly seems appropriate to go ahead with releasing the movie. No matter how much it will cost the French production company.
The Avignon incident also references the June 18th (18/6/17) incident at a Mosque in the Finsbury Park area of London, UK. This came directly before the start of formal negotiations on Britain exiting the European Union (EU) - the so-called; "Brexit."
Those Brexit negotiations came just 10 days after the UK's June 8th (8/6/17) General Election.
That election was marred by the MENA and June 3rd (3/6/17) London Bridge terror attacks which were carried out to give an advantage to the Labour Party. Having teamed up with terrorists to deny Britain a government the Labour Party then set about trying to destabilise the nation further with the June 13th (13/6/17) Grenfell Tower fire.
Therefore the Finsbury Park incident was staged to pose the question to the EU of whether Britain needs to do more to protect its citizenry from the Labour Party.
Unfortunately the UK decided to overplay it hands. On the final day of the Brexit session - June 23rd (23/6/17) - Loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) leader Gary Haggarty plead guilty to multiple counts of terrorism and pledged to turn states evidence. To coincide with this the UK charged the Finsbury Park accused Darren Osborne with terrorism.
The problem is that on December 5th 2015 (5/12/15) a Muslim man attacked non-Muslim members of the public with a knife in the Leytonstone area of London. He was not charged with terrorism. On August 3rd 2016 (3/8/16) a Muslim man attacked non-Muslim members of the public with a knife. Despite killing one he was not charged with terrorism.
So by charging Darren Osborne with terrorism Britain has sent out a clear message to anyone tempted to repeat his actions that the British legal system is there to persecute rather than protect non-Muslims. In short they've just made the problem much worse.
Today (3/7/17) 18 people have been burnt to death - Grenfell Tower style in a bus crash in the Bavaria region of Germany.
There is an Irish rebel song called; "18 Brits Were Blew to Bits." Set to the tune of children's nursery rhyme; "Old McDonald Had a Farm" this celebrates some of the terror attacks of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA).
The main one it celebrates is the August 27th 1979 (27/8/79) Narrow Water ambush. Here 18 British soldiers aboard a bus were blown up by a roadside bomb. Although fashion and photography have changed the scenes from Germany look similar to the Narrow Water aftermath.
Another attack the song celebrates is the assassination of Lord Mountbatten also on August 27th 1979 (27/8/79). Lord Mountbatten was killed by a bomb on his fishing boat in County Sligo in the Republic of Ireland. In the Irish language the "i" is pronounced more and an "ea." So at a push Sligo sounds like; "Slago." In British slang "Slag" is a sexually promiscuous woman of low moral standing.
It sounds then that if Hassan Jameel were wiped out in a drone strike and Rihanna was killed as collateral damage the only sympathy she can expect is someone sarcastically muttering; "Oh well, 18 BRITS (awards) have been blown to bits."
The bus in Germany seems to have crashed into a truck carrying mattresses which immediately caught fire. Throughout June I've been complaining of being really tired.
Basically in the week before the Eurovision Song Contest I concluded that I was exhausted. So I went through it powered by adrenaline. I finished by Eurovision coverage on the evening of May 22nd (22/5/17). A couple of hours later the MENA bombing occurred so I went through all that on adrenaline. Since then the UK's seen the London Bridge attacks, the General Election, the Grenfell Tower fire, the Finsbury Park incident and several incidents of rioting.
I had a little break starting on May 30th (30/5/17). In the early hours of June 1st (1/6/17) I was woken up in the middle of an adrenaline fuelled panic attack. I've discussed all this with a doctor and although not ideal it is simply the human body behaving the way it should under the circumstances. The solution is to change the circumstances.
That involved fixing a time to go to bed and avoiding stress in the hour or so before that time. Things like the Finsbury Park incident and last Sunday's (25/6/17) rioting in the Forest Gate area of London really haven't helped.
Also I do need to buy a new mattress but can't afford one. So those Grenfell Tower victims complaining their taxpayer funded hotels aren't luxurious enough shouldn't be expecting any sympathy from me.
16:00 on 3/7/17 (UK date).
