The 2018 Winter Para-Olympics: Closing Ceremony Pt. 4

A continuation of Part 3; http://watchitdie.blogspot.co.uk/2018/03/the-2018-winter-para-olympics-closing_21.html

Balhae School:

The Olympic Opening Ceremony introduced us to a period of Korean history know as the Unified Three Kingdoms of Korea period. This lasted between 57 B.C and 668 A.D.

Through an alliance with the Chinese Tang Dynasty Korea's three kingdoms; Silla, Baekje and Goguryeo were unified.

With the Three Kingdoms joined as one the Chinese Tang dynasty was expelled in roughly 676 A.D. This created really the first example of a unified Korea.

In 698 A.D this unified Korea under the leadership of former Goguryeo General Dae Joyeong expanded into an area which includes what are now the Chinese cities of Changchun, Jiamusi and even the Russian city of Khabarovsk. Dae Joyeong named this area; "Balhae."

The Olympic Opening Ceremony also introduced the Unification of North and South Korea as an existential concept.

Most Koreans support unification in some form. It's rarely defined though whether they mean;

A unified Korean Peninsula under the Communism of the DPRK?

A unified Korean Peninsula under the Democracy of the RoK?

A unified Korean Peninsula under the RoK dictatorship of Park Chung-hee?

A unified Korea which includes Balhae - essentially the peninsula plus large parts of what are currently China and Russia?

Never being able to resist a pun I referred to that last, ultranationalist perspective as the; "Balhae School (of thought)."

Clearly it was a good pun.

This next sequence began with a Ballet Dancer. A young woman who has graduated from a Ballet School.

The 2018 Winter games officially picked up the baton from the 2014 Winter games held in Sochi, Russia.

If there was a main theme to the 2014 Olympic Opening Ceremony it was; "Russia: Here Long Before Communism. Still Here After Communism."

It explained Russia's history before the 1917 Communist Revolution, during the Soviet period and afterwards. It was actually quite critical of the Communist period.

For example it featured a sequence on the official newspaper of the Russian Communist Party; "Pravda." This is just the Russian word for; "Truth." Amongst ordinary Russians it became a big joke that the newspaper named Truth never, ever published the truth.

Something the US' New York Times newspaper clearly didn't consider when declaring itself to be the newspaper of Truth following the US 2016 Election.

One good thing you can say about the Communist system is that it placed huge value on education. So under the Communist system education was universal.

Not only that the Communist education was more rounded than the education provided in Capitalist societies. So not only were students taught academic subjects like maths, science etc they were also taught cultural subjects. Things like fine art, classical music and ballet etc.

Even after the fall of the Soviet Union Russia and many Eastern European nations have maintained this commitment to a rounded education. As a result people from those nations have a higher level of cultural intelligence than their western counterparts.

That's why western and particularly American pop music hasn't really caught on in Russia and Eastern Europe. Consumers there can see it for what it is. Often just utter cultural trash.

Following the 2014 Winter games and the US' associated attack on Ukraine this contrast between Russian high culture and American low culture became a useful tool at the Eurovision Song Contest.

If nations wanted to show support for American aggression in Ukraine they would perform a song in a western pop music style. If they wanted to show support for Russia they would perform a song in a classical style.

This sequence of the Closing Ceremony featured classical music, opera and ballet. If the level of support for Russia was too subtle for you the ballerina was trained at the Bolshoi school in Moscow, Russia.

Although I didn't catch her name the ballerina has some level of hearing impairment.

Far from being unique this is bordering on the cliche. There are numerous deaf ballet dancers including Simone Welgemoed and Denisse Limcuando who've been used in commercials etc in recent years.

A deaf ballet dancer was featured in the video for the song; "Hall of Fame" by the Irish band The Script in 2013. 

This was unapologetically stolen by France for their 2016 Eurovision Song Contest entry; "J'ai cherché" by Amir. Having just experiences the November 2015 Paris Massacres the last thing France wanted was to win the rights to host the 2017 Song Contest.

A deaf dancer does though provide something of a talking point about how the impairment in one sense can be compensated for through another sense. Rather than hearing the music these dancers feel the vibrations of the music through their body.

As I'm sure a doctor would point out that is not technically one sense compensating for another. Humans perceive sound through vibrations on their eardrums. So sound is actually a sense of touch. These dancers are just experiencing it through a different body part.

The ballet performance was accompanied by classical violins.

The Olympic Opening Ceremony was also extremely critical of the US' Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. 

In 2014 then 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.

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

Particularly the "Twitchy Eye, Psychotic Face Emoji" sequence highlighted the hypocrisy of Obama's BLM warriors. They don't seem offended by black rap performers appropriating aspects of Asian culture.

The example held up was the rap group The Wu Tang Clan. 

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

The Nation of Islam is headed by Louis Farrakhan. Believe it or not he is a violinist.

The Nation of Islam recently announced that they are releasing a five disc album entitled; "Let's Change the World Through Music." 

It features Farrakhan alongside of number of black American pop music acts including Stevie Wonder, Snoop Dogg, Chaka Khan, Common, Damian Marley (song of Bob Marley) and Rick Ross.

So not only were the South Koreans showing massive support for Russian high culture during this sequence they were also mocking American low culture. 

And using Russian high culture to do it in a way Americans would not understand.

A sort of insult cubed.



At around 18:05 on 22/3/18 (UK date) I'll pick this up later.

Edited at around 19:55 on 22/3/18 (UK date) to add above and below;

The ballerina gave way to a couple doing classical ballroom dancing.

This was a slightly teasing reference to US Para-Olympic Snowboarder Amy Purdy. Despite being a winter Para-Olympian Amy Purdy stole the show at the 2016 Summer games. She appeared in the Opening Ceremony dancing with a robot.

These are skills that Amy Purdy learnt on the US TV Show; "Dancing With the Stars." The inclusion of Amy Purdy as a double, below-the-knee amputee on this primetime dance show is one of the efforts undertaken by the US to boost the profile of the Para-Olympics and disability in sport in general.

The two main ballroom dancers were male and female. In traditional male and female costumes. However they were joined by many other dancers. These were a mixture of men and women. They were though all dressed in traditional male costumes.

That reference the issue of transgenderism and gender fluidity.

This is quite a big topic within Olympic and Para-Olympic circles. The big breakthrough in transgender rights came in the form of South African runner Caster Semenya.

At the 2009 World Championships Caster Semenya won Gold in the Women's 800m. This led to people complaining that Semenya was in fact male and cheating by competing in the women's event. Semenya was then forced to undergo a series of gender tests.

After analysis of those gender tests by experts from all the nations in the Olympic and Para-Olympic community it was concluded that on a genetic level Caster Semenya is both male and female. This just triggered more discussion about if and in what classification Semenya would be allowed to compete.

Then of course there is Bruce Jenner who won Gold in the Men's Decathlon at the 1976 Summer Olympics. Father of American celebrities such as Kendell Jenner Bruce Jenner confirmed himself to be transgendered and chose to live as female under the identity Caitlyn Jenner.

It was a particular talking point at the 2014 Winter games which were held in Russia's gay capital Sochi.

The legacy element of awarding those games to Russia was to improve gay rights within Russia. 

Russia very much did their part in this by making a huge talking point about the biological causes for homosexuality and to a lesser extent transgenderism through the curiously constructed athletes village.

Using a bit of artistic license DNA is the blueprints for life. Proteins are the building blocks of life. The human endocrine system is the site foreman. Its the job of the endocrine system to assemble the building blocks in accordance with the blueprints.

As the athletes village in Sochi showed if the site foreman is having a bad day the results can be unusual. You may get radiators halfway up walls or fuseboxes in showers. Likewise you sometimes get people who are both male and female or are sexually attracted to their own gender.

So Transgenderism is a topic that people in Olympic and Para-Olympic circles consider to be resolved and have grown bored of now.

It is though a topic that Obama's BLM warriors have become fixated on recently alongside things like Cultural Appropriation. 

However having no understanding of the transgenderism issue these people have made up a sort of Kindergarten version for them to play with known as; "Gender Fluidity."

Within transgenderism there are still only two genders; male and female. However there are people who are both male and female.

Obama's warriors seem obsessed with inventing new genders with absolutely no scientific basis. Facebook recently introduced 56 different genders.

Going off on a bit of a topical tangent the venture capital behind Facebook is provided by the US Intelligence Agency the CIA.

You can forget all about Facebook being set up so Mark Zuckerberg could keep in touch with his university friends. Facebook was set up to mine huge amounts of personal data on behalf of the US government.

In part this data allows the US to develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) through social programming. China's 300m+ social media's give that nation a huge advantage over the US in terms of AI development.

This data also allows the US to interfere with the politics and internal affairs of many nations. The horrifying wars that we've seen in places like Libya, Syria and Ukraine all began as Facebook campaigns.

So no, US Democrats are not outraged because they've suddenly learnt that Facebook is a huge data-mining operation designed to influence elections.  

Obama's 2012 election campaign was entirely based on using Facebook to steal voters personal data.

Obama's warriors obsession with the false concept of gender fluidity have led to demands that shows like Dancing With The Stars include same gender couples. This thinking has begun to affect the Olympic movement through sports like Figure Skating.

What those people don't realise that Figure Skating are Ballroom Dancing are art. They're make believe.

Although performers may convey emotions like rage, lust, love etc they're just pretending. At the 2018 Olympics one of the main Figure Skating couples were actually brother and sister.

To work as a form of art Figure Skating and Ballroom Dancing require two contrasting forces acting within one whole. Rather like the Taoist Ying Yang symbol.

Trying to turn it into one single force would ruin it as an art form.

In short the issue of gender fluidity is just another example of how under Obama the US seems to have become just the dumbest nation on Earth.

The violinists who accompanied the dancers were joined by cellists giving a very dramatic, classic strings based composition.

This sounded very much like theme music to the movies about James Bond - that very famous assassin for Britain's MI6 Intelligence Agency.

The 1967 James Bond movie; "You Only Live Twice" was filmed in part the Shinmoedake Volcano on Japan's Kyushu island. On March 1st (1/3/18) - the gap between the Olympics and Para-Olympics - Shinmoedake started erupting.

Now the 2018 games are over attention turns to the 2020 games being held in Japan. Much of the preparations for that are dominated by the massive Earthquake which struck Japan on March 11th 2011 (11/3/11). 

Like Volcanic eruptions Earthquakes are seismic events. So in terms of the Quantum Field/Wu Xing it's certainly an interesting talking point about whether all the talk about Japan's Earthquake caused a Volcano to erupt.

Mainly though this James Bond style music was the internationally recognised symbol of MI6 assassination.

It was overlaid the stage - the internationally recognised symbol for Chemical Weapons agents.

Nobody really minds the UK poisoning an MI6 agent in Salisbury in an effort to dominate the Para-Olympics. They don't even really mind them using a banned chemical weapons agent to do it.

What is unforgivable though is Britain failing to stick to its own script.
