The 2018 Winter Olympics: Opening Ceremony Pt.7.

A continuation of Part 6; https://watchitdie.blogspot.co.uk/2018/02/the-2018-winter-olympics-opening_16.html

Twitchy Eye, Psychotic Face Emoji:

A central theme of the Opening Ceremony has been the Wu Xing.

Particularly in Korean Taoism this is said to contain the five essential elements though which everything in the human dimension exists. The five elements are each assigned a colour.

This sequence deals with the element Fire represented by the colour Red.

So this sequence sees; "Reds! Reds" Everywhere Reds!"

Much like since the 2014 Winter Olympics Americans have been running around screaming; "Russians! Russians! Everywhere Russians!"

While maintaining that intense, yet vacant  fixed stare that mental health professionals the world over recognise as a symptom of a psychotic episode.

In 2014 the US President Barack Obama wanted to lead his Democrat Party to victory in the November mid-term elections.

So in August 2014 Obama invented this story of an innocent young black man named Micheal Brown being murdered by the racist police. While having his hands up in surrender and begging; "Don't Shoot!"

Obama then tasked the FBI and the Department of Justice with perpetuating that lie.

This birthed the "Black Lives Matter (BLM)" movement. That drove extremely well regimented riots and protests alongside a campaign to erase the Democrat's racist role in the US Civil War from history.

It has also turned public discourse in America into a contest to see who can come up with the most elaborate way of identifying racism where no racism exists and being offended by it.

Curiously there is one area where Obama's BLM warriors have been unable to see any racism. Let alone be offended.

That is the practice of US universities or other academies of higher learning denying places to hard working, highly qualified Asian students. So those places can be given to lazy, poorly qualified black students.

One of the greatest thought crimes that Obama's BLM warriors created was that of; "Cultural Appropriation."

In more normal societies this is known as the doctrine of multiculturalism. However America now sees no greater crime then a white person doing something they claim is part of black culture.

Curiously though Obama's warriors don't seem offended by black rap performers appropriating aspects of Asian culture.

By far the worst offender here is the; "Wu Tang Clan" and in particular their founding member; "RZA."

Their name itself is a bastardisation of; "Wudang Quan" a form of Chinese martial arts named after the Wudang Mountains.

The group's debut album was; "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)".

This takes the martial arts practice inspired by Animist religion of a quest for balance in body, mind and within the Wu Xing. It applies them to the; "5% Nation" ideology which itself is an off-shoot from the extremely nasty, black supremacist Nation of Islam (NoI).

Appropriating their name from the Abrahamic religion of Islam the NoI believe that the human race is an alien race.

By it's nature it is a black master race. However an evil Jew named Yacob started turning members of this black master race into members of an inferior white race.

The NoI believe that within the black master race 85% are born to be slaves. It is their role in life to be manipulated by a 10% known as the; "Slave Makers." At the top you have the 5% "Righteous Teachers."

The 36 Chambers mentioned in the Wu Tang Clan's debut album represent the metaphysical journey black men must undertake to move from Slave to Righteous Teacher.

In short the Wu Tang Clan smoked a lot of Marijuana and Crack Cocaine while watching Kung Fu movies like the ones Jackie Chan is famous for. Particularly the 1983 movie; "Shaolin and Wu Tang."

RZA has taken it even further making the 2012 Kung Fu movie; "The Man with the Iron Fists." I cannot convey how sad it makes me to see that movie listed on TV guides. Reminding me that it exists.

This sequence featured the Korean dance troupe; "Just Jerk."

They featured their style of what is known as; "Jerk Dancing" on the 2017 season of; "America's Got Talent."

Jerk is a style of dance invented in the 1960's which went on to inspire Breakdancing - traditionally considered an aspect of black American culture.

I'm not familiar with Just Jerk's story. However I suspect they have been accused of; "Cultural Appropriation." Most people have been these days.

Initially the dancers appeared in red silk costumes.

I suppose these could resemble the Tangzhuang or; "Tang Suit" which refers to any form of Chinese dress similar in style to clothing worn during the Tang period. It of course was the Tang Dynasty which helped to unify the Three Kingdoms of Korea.

However I'm happy to refer to these costumes as; "Ridiculous Kung Fu Pantomime Pyjamas" without fear of offending anyone who knows anything about eastern martial arts. They owe more to a Jackie Chan movie then to anything actually to do with eastern culture.

The red suited dancers were replaced by other dancers wearing a more complex costume.

This was made of blue silk and a sort of body armour breastplate. On their heads the dancers were wearing multiple masks. So the dancers had their actual face, the mask face on the top of their head and the mask face on the back of their heads.

These represented something that actually does exist in Korean mythological culture; The Dokkaebi.

The Dokkaebi are mischievous spirits that live in the forest. They spend their lives playing pranks and practical jokes on humans.

One of the Dokkaebi's favourite games is to block a person's path and challenge them to a wrestling match to win the right to pass.

Apparently Dokkaebi only have one leg to stand on. The trick is to kick it out from under them leaving them with nothing to stand on.

In 2016 former US President Obama again faced the task of leading his Democrat Party to victory in the November Elections.

He wanted to hand the Presidency to his designated successor Hillary Clinton. He also wanted to hand the Democrat Party control over both houses of the US Congress - the legislative body.

In June 2016 the Democrat Party declared that their computer systems had been hacked by Russians.

This apparent threat of Russian interference allowed Obama to task the FBI and the Justice Department to take action against it. This included allowing them to spy on the opposition Republican campaign.

It also involved the FBI setting up a special unit answering directly to Obama. This FBI unit was tasked with monitoring social media and removing any messages in support of the Republicans or critical of the Democrats that it deemed to be; "Foreign."

This brought back many memories for South Koreans.

At their 2012 Presidential election the incumbent Lee Myung-bak wanted to hand power to his designated successor Park Guen-hye. So he decided that there was a threat of North Korean interference in the election.

This allowed the RoK's equivalent of the FBI - the National Intelligence Service (NIS) - to set up a special unit.

That unit was tasked with monitoring social media and removing any messages critical of Park Guen-hye or supportive of her opponent Moon Jae-in by declaring them to be; "Foreign."

Park Guen-hye has since been removed from office.

This comes after it was revealed that the NIS social media unit was not there to protect against foreign interference. It was set up with the sole purpose of rigging the election in favour of Park Guen-hye.

The claims for foreign interferences were intentional lies intended to allow the NIS to do this.

The US Democrat Party of course suffered a catastrophe at the 2016 Election. Not only did they lose the Presidency to Donald Trump they also lost control of both house of Congress.

Since then the Democrats Party have dedicated themselves to causing all sorts of mischief in the name of; "The Resistance."

In January 2017 US President Trump introduced a temporary ban on migrants from six warzones and Iran.

The Democrat Attorney General for Washington State issued a legal challenge to this. With the help of some Democrat Judges in San Francisco, California and Hawaii he was able to obtain an injunction.

In December 2017 the matter went before the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). The Washington Attorney General's application was found to be without merit and the rulings of the Democrat Judges in San Francisco and Hawaii were overturned as unlawful.

In May 2017 Democrats insisted that a Special Prosecutor named Robert Mueller be appointed to investigate their continued claims of Russian hacking. That investigation is ongoing.

Over the summer of 2017 the DPRK carried out a series of nuclear weapons and missile tests.

This sent the US media which had supported Hillary Clinton into a frenzy of excitement. They seemed overjoyed at the prospect of a looming nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula and saw it as their mission to start one.

At the same time they were accusing President Trump of being the mentally unstable lunatic who would start a nuclear war.

The few remaining Democrats even tried to strip the President, as Commander-in-Chief of the US military, of his ability to launch nuclear weapons.

It seems that US Democrats would prefer nuclear apocalypse to admitting that in fact Obama was pretty bad at his job.

That opinion of course is not shared by people living on the Korean Peninsula.

As recently as January 2018 the Democrat Party and the US media were hyperventilating over a book called; "Fire and Fury" by Michael Wolff. This is supposedly a behind-the-scenes expose of life in the Trump White House.

It made all sorts of wild and salacious claims. Such as that President Trump goes to bed at 6pm and lies there watching TV and eating Cheeseburgers. The main claim though is that apparently everyone who meets President Trump thinks that he's mentally ill.

To give you an idea of how ridiculous it was someone satirised it by faking an exert which claimed President Trump was angered that the White House TV's didn't have the; "Gorilla Channel."

Such was Trump's anger White House staff were forced to create a channel with 24hr footage of Gorillas fighting each other.

The people who believed the books claims also believed that claim.

In mid-January President Trump took the annual President's physical health examination. It revealed a man who certainly doesn't lie in bed all day eating Cheeseburgers. It also included a Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) which President Trump passed with flying colours.

The Democrats conclusion was not that the trashy, supermarket tabloid novel was wrong. It was that the empirical data was wrong.

The conduct of the mischief makers has been such that it has finally drawn some criticism within the US.

On January 13th 2018 (13/1/18) the US State of Hawaii raised a false alarm that it was under attack from an incoming DPRK missile. Just like Hawaii has become prone to raising false alarms over immigration controls.

What I suspect happened in Hawaii is that an employee selected an option from a computer menu. However the computer then decided to load a completely different option. It may just be my computer but I'm familiar with that sort of thing happening.

However the Hawaii false alarm is now officially and formally being blamed on a mentally unstable government employee.

At 18:05 on 17/2/18 (UK date) I'll pick this up later.

Edited at around 20:15 on 17/2/18 (UK date) to tidy up a bit and add;

As I may have mentioned the Closing Ceremony of the 2012 Para-Olympic Summer Games held in London, UK saw me married off to the popstar Rihanna.

This was because in 2010 Rihanna long with Jay Z and Kanye West released a song called; "Run This Town." The video in support of the song featured lots of people in masks and hoods brandishing flaming torches. A sort of classic representation of rioting or urban disorder.

In August 2011 Britain arranged for a truly innocent black man named Mark Duggan to be shot and killed by police in the Tottenham area of London.

The idea was to trigger a small rioting to promote that aspect of security concerns for the upcoming Olympics to be held in August 2012. It was timed to coincide with the technically Civil Partnership ceremony between my lesbian mothers. At the time they were almost literally living in the shadow of the Olympic Park.

The problem is that the British intelligence services very badly misread the level of public anger at the time. What was planned as a small riot in a corner of London over one night turned into a week of rioting across not only all of London but also large parts of the UK.

The British state did not fall that week. However it certainly wobbled on its foundations.

The UK Labour Party decided to exploit those riots for its own ends. This was particularly true in the London borough of Croydon.

There an organised crime network very closely linked to the Labour Party went on an orgy of arson attacks. This involved the wiping out of just entire city blocks in fires which burned for days

The objective was to destroy a large number of privately owned, low-rise buildings. That would force the owners to sell up in literally a fire sale to a housing association closely linked to the UK Labour Party through the organised crime network.

The housing association would then build lots of high-rise rented apartment buildings. These would then be stuffed with people who would vote Labour out of fear of being evicted while providing a steady stream of rental income.

With talk of a big shopping mall being built in Croydon the calculation was that local rents would rise dramatically.

In the midst of the chaos the BBC News did a phone interview with some drunk 14 year old girl who'd been participating in the rioting in Croydon. This drunken 8AM interview was basically just this girl singing the lyrics to "Run This Town" to the stunned news anchor.

So I was married off to Rihanna. Chaos ensued.

The highlight of the ceremony was Rihanna and Jay Z performing Run This Town while the arena was filled with performers waving flaming torches about.

The UK Labour Party were not punished for their arson attacks during the August 2011 riots.

So in June 2017 they felt free to launch another arson attack. This time against the Grenfell Tower apartment building in London.

The ultimate objective being to bring down the UK government that had just been democratically elected weeks earlier. In the process the UK Labour Party murdered 70 people and unlawfully destroyed a foetus.

Through the appearances of Black Turtle and Red Architect South Korea - as home to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) - have made it very clear what they think about the UK Labour Party's arson attack on Grenfell Tower.

This sequence very much borrowed from the Closing Ceremony of the 2012 Para-Olympic games. As the Dokkaebi were making their way around the arena they were carrying flaming torches and surrounded relentless fireworks.

In the mythology the Dokkaebi actually appear in a flash of blue flame. Rather like the blue of the US Democrat Party.

However these mischief makers appeared amid the red flames of anger.

This fire seemed to cascade down into the arena from the freshly lit Olympic Cauldron. That Cauldron was designed to resemble a Martian War Machine from the 1895 H.G Wells novel; "The War of the Worlds."

Aside from the story itself The War of the Worlds provides one of the most famous examples of; "Fake News."

On October 30th 1938 (30/10/38) Orson Welles directed an adaptation of The War of the Worlds for what at the time was the US CBS radio network. The first two thirds of this program took the form of fake news reports describing the alien invasion.

Although it was listed and promoted as an entertainment program many mistook these fake news reports as real and went into a hysterical panic. The jokes about CNN really write themselves at this point.

Orson Welles' adaptation of The War of the Worlds is probably the most famous example. However there are other more recent and more pernicious examples. Most famously from Georgia.

During the 2008 Summer Olympics held in Beijing, China the nation of Georgia started a short and remarkably ill-advised war against their neighbour Russia.

Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili's thinking was that if he attacked Russia it would give NATO an excuse to join his war and finally and totally defeat Russia. Boy did he get that wrong.

This war was discussed a lot during particularly during the 2014 Winter Para-Olympics. Not least because when Obama appointed Saakashvili as Mayor of the Ukrainian city of Odessa we knew that a just utter insanity was gripping America.

Plus there is a movie about the war called; "Five Days of War." It stars the actor Rupert Friend who is married to Aimee Mullins - a major US Para-Olympian.

A low budget movie Five Days of War only really works as a talking point about propaganda. I frequently, mistakenly refer to it as; "Eight Days of War." That's because the 2008 war went on for eight days.

However the movie only focuses on the last five days of the war. That's because if they included the first three days where Georgia attacked Russia it wouldn't work as a piece of anti-Russian propaganda.

On the evening of March 13th 2010 (13/3/10) the Georgian station Imedi TV broadcaster ran their usual News/Current Affairs show; "Special Report." This edition featured breaking news of a developing crisis in the city of Tbilisi.

Anti-corruption protesters had gathered to protest against Saakashvili only for armed men to open fire on them. This has led to pro-Russian oppositions leaders to call on Russia to help oust Saakashvili freeing the nation from tyranny. Over the course of the broadcast one of those opposition leaders was killed in an ambush.

This triggered a fullscale Russian invasion of Georgia. Imedi TV covered this live complete with footage of Russian tanks and troops and gun battles in Georgian streets.

The thing is it was all entirely fake.

However because it was presented as a regular news program on a regular news channel with regular journalists people believed it.

Panic ensued Georgian National Guard units mobilised and I think like six people were killed by Georgian troops firing at shadows in the dark.

In the aftermath Imedi TV declared that it was just a prank. They were doing their own version of The War of the Worlds broadcast.

However quite a few people pointed out that Imedi TV supported Saakashvili.

Portraying Saakashvili as a victim of a Russian conspiracy is the sort of thing that would help him in the May 30th 2010 (30/5/10) election.

So you'll excuse me if I don't believe the Russians are attacking.

Just because the man on the TV says the Russians are attacking.


It is something of a tradition that Olympic ceremonies end with a big, climactic fireworks display. However the last 20 minutes of this ceremony had been one massive fireworks display. So that option wasn't really open to them.

So instead the five children represented the Wu Xing re-appeared waving us goodbye.

The ceremony then faded out as the fireworks shifted to show us the colours of the Wu Xing.
