Yet another email sent in a desperate bid to implement rent caps. Mayhaps this one shall prove fruitful.

To whom it may concern,

I am uncertain of where to direct this problem, as every avenue I’ve contacted has either ignored my email, or written back to say there’s nothing they can do. Surely there must be someone, somewhere whom the public can contact to address the issue.

It is apparent that our city is striving to be a thriving metropolis and wishes to attract the well-to-do as they have more money to throw around “to help the local economy”, however those who struggle to get by cannot be so easily swept under the rug as if they do not exist. Yet it appears that’s exactly what our city, and the rest of our County, are doing. I refer to the city for the most part as it’s the city building condo after condo. While you may think “There’s subsidized housing available”, the wait list to get into subsidized housing grows faster than it can place people. There needs to be more affordable housing in the County (not just the city), and one way to do this without having to build more subsidized housing units is to instill-and enforce-a rent cap (rent control, whatever you wish to call it.) Perhaps even urge landlords, or offer them incentives (maybe making a deal with the hydro company), to offer Inclusive rent.

Currently; searching for apartments is a seemingly futile effort for those on a tight budget. All one has to do is look on Kijiji with the mindset of “The maximum I can afford on rent for my family and I is $900. $1000, if it’s inclusive. We need a two bedroom unit.” The results, even on basement rentals (most of which are illegal), are disappointing at best. Very commonly a 2 bedroom basement goes from anywhere to $1000-$1200 per month. The amount they charge is on par with market rent in a professionally managed building. Occasionally you’ll find slightly cheaper units, however they are typically along the lines of “$975 a month plus utilities.”

One bedroom apartments are often $950 a month, some bachelor apartments are just as much (sometimes one can luck out and find a bachelor for $700, $500 the further they move from areas with work), and to rent just a room in somebody else’s home goes from about $550-$650 per month.

In renting basements, or just a room, potential renters then face other hurdles. Especially in rooms. If you’re a smoker between jobs; best of luck to you. If you’re a male smoker between jobs looking for a room; you’d better give up and check into the Salvation Army (if they’re not already full.) It doesn’t matter if you’re collecting unemployment or assisted by Ontario Works. People renting basements and rooms generally want employed, single, non-smoking females.
Even stepping outside for a cigarette is highly frowned upon. Those renting out rooms also typically prefer students. The room-rentals that aren’t as discriminating are dives downtown infested with bedbugs.

Inclusive rent seems to be a thing of the past. Pet friendly is just as rare (which is why animal shelters are constantly overflowing and why a large chunk of kijiji’s free stuff category is taken up by pets needing a new home.) Rent rates are high enough as is, and landlords are overly selective (no smokers is replacing no-smoking, and no pets is flashed across nearly every advertisement, adult-only lifestyle is also becoming more common in rent ads.) Something needs to change. The people who serve your coffee, pump your gas, and stock your groceries need a place to call home, not all of them can (or want) to live with their parents. Some of them are parents and need to support their own children. Some work 2-3 jobs just to scrape by. “Inflation” is a figment of some fat-cats creation to drive up prices and gouge the working poor to keep others down while lining their own already bulging wallets. The least you could do is nothing; however the humane thing to do would be to address a spiralling issue and let the service workers afford decent roofs over their heads. After all, you wouldn’t want your barista to be crawling in bed bugs, would you?

This never happened on my Blogger…

My comment settings on here are set for me to approve before they are posted for the public to see. Nothing unusual about that. However, here I seem to get a lot of (most likely spam) comments “inviting” me to join the illuminati or various off-shoots. Usually with poor grammar, spelling, and fishy email addresses. I don’t believe any of them are real. Still. This never happened on my old Blogger account. In some ways, I miss it. Then I remember just how often it would mess up, which is why I opened a new account with WordPress-they had very good reviews and were highly recommended.

 

Strange Lyrics by Weird Al

On his last album, Alpocalypse, Weird Al positioned himself as the head of the Four Horsemen from the Bible, happily smiling and waving, and also the only one that wasn’t a skeleton. On this album, Al positions himself at the head of an army with a stern expression upon his face. Inside the album artwork, he likens himself to Che Guevara and Rosie the Riveter (the latter being famous war propaganda artwork, similar to Uncle Sam but aimed towards women at home having to take on duties that were, at the time, conventionally “mens work”) One image, which I do not have on my computer (nor was I able to find when I searched for it online) shows him in a magnanimous leader pose with a bunch of asian-looking folk beaming beneath him, waving red flags with pink flowers (possibly cherry blossoms, though they do not really look like cherry blossoms.)

Okay, so he may not be posed like Rose, but for some reason he still reminds me of her. Feel free to disagree, I understand.

A few lyrics throughout much of Mandatory Fun (as well as the album artwork itself) is questionable, though presented in a way that most fans would think nothing of it “Oh, that’s just Al being Weird.”

Some of the strange lyrics:

From “My Own Eyes”

…I saw a stripper kiss a duck

    behind a dumpster in Aruba…

…I saw a mime get hacked to death…

With my own eyes

I’ve seen things that would drive a normal man insane

Wish I could disconnect my brain

From my own eyes…my own eyes

Those visions haunt my memory

Oh, there’s so much I wish I could un-see…

…My neighbours kid sold weapons-grade plutonium

and frosty, ice-cold lemonade

They took MasterCard and sometimes human organs in trade

That’s how we paid

(I’m not claiming any of these events of which he sings actually happened, I’m merely stating the lyrics are questionable)

Hypnotic clothing. Tacky, yes, but also trance-inducing

Comedians Jack Black, Margaret Cho, Eric Stonestreet, Aisha Taylor, and Kristen Shaal appear in the video

From “Tacky”

I would live-tweet a funeral, take selfies with the deceased

Because I’m tacky

If I’m bit by a zombie, probably not telling you

(He’s sung about zombies in previous works, such as Another Tattoo)

The lyrics that are raising the most eyebrows, however, are in Foil, perhaps because he blatantly names the Illuminati and sings about world domination by the NWO. Even the music video is…unsettling.

The lyrics:

Oh, by the way, I’ve cracked the code

I figured out these shadow organizations

And the Illuminati know

That they’re finally primed for world domination

And soon you’ve got black helicopters comin’ cross the border

Puppet masters for the New World Order

Be aware

There’s always someone that’s watching you

And still the government won’t admit they faked the whole moon landing

Thought control rays, psychotronic scanning

Don’t mind that

I’m protected ’cause I made this hat

From aluminum foil

Wear a hat that’s foil lined

In case an aliens inclined

To probe your butt or read your mind

Looks a bit peculiar

Seems a little crazy

But someday I’ll prove

There’s a big conspiracy

One viewer on YouTube (sarcastically?) pointed out he wrapped half his sandwich in a triangle

Not only is his hat triangular, he also has three backup singers

He definitely knows his symbolism for the Illuminati

This image doesn’t fully showcase it, but it gets very dark and he makes some scary faces while showing disturbing imagery (nothing too graphic, but what it represents) while he sings as a “Crazy tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist” to discredit those who speak truth)

Patton Oswalt, who plays the director on Al’s Foil show, slowly begins to panic during Al’s revelations. Throughout the video he becomes more and more agitated.

Finally, Al is silenced

Once Al is dragged off the set, Patton removes his human mask to reveal his true, reptilian, identity.

Leading up to the release date of Mandatory Fun, Weird Al released 8 music videos within 8 days (many compared this to Beyonce), starting with:

Tacky (parody of Happy)

Handy (parody of Fancy)

Sports Song

First World Problems

Foil (parody of Royals)

Word Crimes (parody of Blurred Lines. Lyrically, far superior than Robin Thicke’s sexist ditty about date rape)

Lame Claim to Fame

Mission Statement

Mandatory Fun also marks the end of Weird Al’s record label contract, which he signed in 1982. He says he’s not retiring from the music business, but that he plans to release singles from now on rather than record full albums, as his work is “topical and timely and if I wait until I have 12 songs and put out an album, chances are a lot of those songs aren’t going to be topical and timely.”

As for the tinfoil hats, apparently there is some truth to the protection that tinfoil hats can provide. Personally, I’ve never tried it, but I did find a rather informative site on the History of the Tinfoil Hat. Check out the link in my sources.

Working on a new post, but there’s some bugs

I’ve been trying to make a post on Weird Al’s jabs at conspiracy theorists in his new song, Foil (a parody of Lourde’s Royals), however WordPress doesn’t want to show the pictures I’ve been trying to add. I’m aware that pictures aren’t exactly necessary, however they help drive points home plus they also make posts more interesting. At least, in my opinion they do.

For now, you can check out my past articles on Al that I did on my old blog:

“Married” Celebrities: Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan

Similar to Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler are a “couple” that repeatedly work together, except rather than make music, they make movies together.

The pair appear to have a comfortable and close relationship, claiming that they love eachother and that they’re strictly platonic, both being married (to other people) with children. Though that doesn’t stop Adam from joking that their relationship has become “hornier” over the years.

Movie-wise, however, they come across as perfect for eachother. Some hail them as this generations Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, who were the RomCom couple of the 90’s era.

Born to actors and growing up in the limelight, Drew experienced more than her share of troubles while quite young. Its been reported ad nauseum how she was in and out of rehab in her pre-teen/early teen years, how her mother would snort coke with her when she was just 12, she battled addiction and has really cleaned up her act. In pop-culture terms, she started off very young like Lindsay Lohan with a mother like Dina Lohan, but has become…well, a modern day Meg Ryan. Seemingly squeaky clean, adorable, and loved by the public.

Adam’s early years, to public knowledge, was relatively drama free. Not really much to comment on. In the late 80’s he landed a couple recurring roles on TV, did a couple movies that flew under the radar, focused mainly on stand-up, then was hired on SNL. Some biographers claim that it wasn’t until he starred opposite Drew in the Wedding Singer that his career really started to take off.

So…if Drew’s credited with Adam’s career blowing up, does that make her his Handler? I mean, she’s the one who grew up in Hollywood. She may have started off as an MK victim in her youth, but pretty much all celebrities start off as slaves then work their way up. No matter how sweet and down-to-Earth they may seem to us. Even being aware of the darkness that surrounds many public figures, I still fall under the spell of some. But that’s the point of the work that they do.

Meg Ryan, since the two Hollywood “couples” are being compared, was also born to a family in the industry. Somewhat. Her father was a math teacher, and her mother had done some acting in commercials and briefly worked as an assistant casting director in New York City. Her brother, Andrew Hyra, is a musician. Meg got into acting while doing commercials in college to earn extra money. She dropped out of college shortly before she would have graduated.

Tom Hanks’ early life, as written on his website, fits the making of an ideal MK slave:

“From a very early age, my parents never really communicated to me what was going on in the dynamic between them… My mother moved away from our home when I was 4 years old… My father, through all of his marriages, never, ever sat me down and told me how much he either loved or did not love the women he was married to, or shared with me the problems that he was going through. So I was just constantly attempting to cope before I really learned how to cope. I would go through some brand of self-medicating process : becoming very involved in doing something like going to church or making sure that my calendar was filled with something that I was doing every minute.” -Presumably written by Tom himself on his website.

”  At 14, Tom Hanks had a part time job at the Oakland Coliseum selling peanuts and sodas and would later work as a bellman in an hotel, carrying the bags of some celebrities including Cher, Sidney Poitier, Slappy White and Bill Withers.” -Also from his website

He threw himself into school and became beyond involved with his drama courses.

What is the point of these showbiz “couples” that aren’t, and have never been, actual couples? I honestly couldn’t tell you. I think it’s tied in with spirits possessing the actors, spirits who believe the events unfolding on film are really happening and, in effect, are in romantic relationships with the spirit possessing their co-star. Or something to that effect. Or perhaps one is the Handler and the other is the puppet. Those are purely my speculations, not necessarily facts.

Alexis Arquette really has nothing to do with this article, although is briefly in Blended and, in my (not so humble) opinion, completely made The Wedding Singer. Honestly, her performance of Do You Really Want to Hurt Me was the best part of the movie!

Not really sure what to make of this…

So I checked my email today, which I don’t do as often as I should, and had three comments awaiting moderation. One was a double, which I think may be spam or a prank. Although part of me thinks it may also be real. Not being that great with computers, I don’t know how to take screenshots. (I used to, back in the pre-Y2K days and early 2000’s.) Anyways, copy/paste with quotation marks will have to do:

 “do you want to join the brotherhood (the illuminati). Are you a businessman, musician or do you want to be a star and winning of contract. There is noting to worry about this the place were money is giving in abundance no considering of age but your mind simply contact joinusnowilluminate@gmail.com…”

The grammar seems that its coming from one who’s first language is not English, the lack of punctuation makes it slightly difficult to follow, and the website they linked to says its from Europe. Well, not straight up it doesn’t.

These addresses have been further assigned to users in
the RIPE NCC region. Contact information can be found in
the RIPE database at http://www.ripe.net/whois

I had to Google what the RIPE NCC region is. It’s European. I’m debating approving the comments just so others can see. I’m pretty sure it’s a tasteless joke. I was just so stunned by the “invite” that I had to post about it.

Actors that consistently play characters of their own name

I’m not really sure where I’m going with this. I can’t seem to find any information on a conspiracy behind this trend. Most people sum it up as “The actor is too stupid to respond to anything other than their own name.” which I don’t believe to be true.

Perhaps it is easier for the actors to respond to his or her own name. More likey,  it makes it that much easier for them to confuse reality with their on-camera lives. It is often said how “characters” are actually spirits possessing the actors bodies who believe that the events going on on-camera are actually happening. But that still doesn’t explain why certain people repeatedly play characters who share their name.

Joey Lawrence played Joey Thompson on Silver Spoons, Joey Donovan on Gimme a Break, and Joey Russo on Blossom. On Brotherly Love he and his brothers Matt and Andy, all played characters named Joe, Matt, and Andy Roman. On Melissa and Joey he plays Joe Longo.

Tony Danza played Tony in a TV movie called Fast Lane Blues, Tony Banta on Taxi, Tony Micelli on Charmed Lives, Living Dolls, and finally Who’s the Boss, Tony Canetti on Hudson Street, and Tony DiMeo on the Tony Danza Show (how THAT makes any sense, I don’t know)

On nearly everything he’s done, Jerry Seinfeld plays Jerry Seinfeld. On Eddie, on Mad About You, on Curb Your Enthusiasm, on Louie…he is Jerry Seinfeld.

Mary Tyler Moore played Marilee Goddard (close enough to Mary) on Bronco, Mary Richards on Phyllis, and Rhoda, and on the Mary Tyler Moore Show (again, this makes no sense. If its a show literally named after the actor or actress, why not just keep the name exactly the same?), on the Mary Tyler Moore Hour she played Mary McKinnon, Mary Brenner on Mary, Mary Todd Lincoln on Lincoln, and just plain ol’ Mary on The Ellen Show

Lucille Ball played a Lucille in I’ll Love You Always, Lucille Ball in A Night at the Biltmore Bowl, as well as in Best Foot Forward, and in Thousands Cheer, again in Ziegfeld Follies, and in Bud Abbot and Lou Costello in Hollywood, everybody knows her as Lucy Ricardo in I Love Lucy, whom she was on quite a few other shows,  she was Lucy Carmicheal when she did Lucy in London and then in the Lucy Show, Lucy Carter in Make Room for Grand-daddy and again in Here’s Lucy, Lucy Collins in Lucy Gets Lucky, Lucy Whittaker in Lucy Calls the President, and finally Lucy Barker in Life with Lucy

Shirley Jones was Shirley Renfrew Partridge on the Partridge Family, Shirley Miller on Shirley, Shirley/Evil Shirley on Deadly Games, and Shirley Gallagher on Ruby and the Rockits

Charlie Sheen voiced Charlie Barkin in All Dogs Go to Heaven 2, he was Charlie in Being John Malkovich, Charlie Crawford on Spin City, Charlie Harper on Two and a Half Men, Charlie in She Wants Me, Charles Swan in A Glimpse Inside Charles Swan II, and Charlie Harper in Anger Management

Ellen Degeneres played Ellen Morgan on The Dana Carvey Show, and on Ellen, then she was Ellen Richmond on The Ellen Show before finally landing her own talk show

Dave Foley was Dave Nelson on NewsRadio, Dr. Dave Foley on Tom Goes to the Mayor, and is Dave Lyons on Spun Out

Wanda Sykes has been Wanda (Mel’s Date) on Tomorrow Night, Wanda on Down to Earth, Gladys Murphy and Wanda on Crank Yankers, Wanda Mildred Hawkins on Wanda at Large, Wanda Sykes on Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Wanda Sykes on Real Husbands of Hollywood

Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton, with her big personality, big hair, big bust, and sweet voice has captured the hearts of millions everywhere. She’s one of the most powerful women in music to date, even if she’s not played on radio as often as some of todays younger stars. When you’ve been playing the game as long as Dolly has, radio play doesn’t make much of a difference.

Dolly wasn’t always such a mega-watt star, although she always had a mega-watt smile and personality. Her body developed rapidly, and by the age of 15 or 16 she’d learned to use her femininity to her advantage. She claims that while she’s had many invitations to various casting couches (presumably while trying to get her career going) “I’ve never slept with anybody to advance my career. If I slept with anybody, it was only because I wanted to.”

Taken from an interview with the Daily Mail:

“When starting out in the business, I looked easy and people didn’t take me seriously,’ she admits. ‘I always looked like I could be had and I still do!’ she giggles. ‘But the truth was, I couldn’t.

‘The casting couch was very much present in country music when I got started and, Lord, I couldn’t even name all the times I’ve been come on to.

‘I’d be offered jobs and then before the deal was done, they’d say “Would you like to come up to my room?” and I’d say: “I don’t need the job that bad, and I’ll never do that to get ahead.”

‘People still thought I was cheap and though it was painful at times, I knew that that talk would be shortlived.’

Being aware of the power she wielded over men, thanks to her looks, imbued Dolly with an early confidence. ‘I was always at ease with myself, and coming from a family of 12 with six brothers, I understood men and loved them.

‘But I was also confident about who I was and my talent, so when I went into meetings, I never crumbled under a man’s power. I’d tell them “I have something to offer which I think could make us both a lot of money, if you want to take a gamble”, and leave it at that.”

She was first exposed to the public eye by Porter Wagoner when he hired her at the age of 21 as a “girl singer” in 1967 on his hit variety show, The Porter Wagoner Show.

Dolly has said to the Los Angeles Times of the man who gave her career a kick-start “I don’t mean this in a bad way… but he was very much a male chauvinist pig. Certainly a male chauvinist. He was in charge, and it was his show, but he was also very strong willed. That’s why we fought like crazy, because I wouldn’t put up with a bunch of stuff. Out of respect for him, I knew he was the boss, and I would go along to where I felt this was reasonable for me. But once it passed points where it was like, your way or my way, to prove to you that I can do it, then I would just pitch a damn fit. I wouldn’t care if it killed me.” 

For seven years she sang duets with Porter on his show. Behind the scenes, they didn’t get along as well as they appeared to on camera, often butting heads when the cameras weren’t rolling. They released several albums together. In the entertainment industry, they were packaged as a musical power couple. One album cover even has her looking very much the bride. Another has framed pictures set side by side, making them appear as pictures in a locket. The title of that is Say Forever You’ll Be Mine.

Nearly every album has a romantic theme, with the two appearing as a couple. You could say he was her original handler. By 1974 Dolly broke free to pursue a solo career. Wagoner was pissed and sued her. Dolly must have been plotting her leave for a while, as she wrote the song I Will Always Love you in 1973 as a farewell to Porter, then released it in 1974.

She’s also said that Porter Wagoner was her inspiration for her role as Doralee in the movie 9-5.

She and Wagoner made amends before his death. The day he died, she claims she had a premonition that told her to go to his bedside, where she sat and sang to him for hours. She’s said a part of her died with him.

Dolly’s solo career doesn’t really need much explanation. She’s recorded many albums which have spawned numerous hit singles.  She continues to gain new fans with every generation. Her music is timeless, although there is far more to her career than music. We’ll get to that later.

Dolly’s solo career skyrocketed. She continued to use her stunning looks and stellar talent to her advantage while publicly maintaining her dignity. Even when in Playboy, she left things to the public’s imagination.

(Hints of Alice conditioning with the white rabbit. A rather evil looking white rabbit, at that!)

While Dolly has indisputably made a formidable career for herself as a solo artist, she also gained a musical second husband. Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton have frequently worked together over the years, and fans to this day can’t get enough of the pairs duets. Their relationship together is definitely filled with chemistry, although I suspect Kenny of having been Dolly’s second handler.

She’s wearing a golden bridal veil in part of this early performance with him. When I saw the video on YouTube, she’s acting silly singing in a Spanish accent at the beginning of the song. I can’t seem to find the video now, so I’m guessing it’s been removed from YouTube.

bridal veil gone

Over the years, Dolly and Kenny have appeared together time after time after time. They have incredibly strong ties together. With todays stars, you don’t tend to see such a thing. Singers will record a track together, and that’s usually that. Heck, even for their time Dolly and Kenny’s relationship with eachother isn’t typical.

 

The two have literally grown old together. Publicly, they seem more like a married couple than Dolly and her actual husband, Carl Dean (with whom she maintains a relationship that strikes many as odd, she’s even addressed that people have questioned whether or not Carl’s even real.) On the rumours of having had an affair together, Kenny has said “[We] worked together for two years on the road. Everybody always thought we were having an affair. We just flirted together for 30 years, you know. But it keeps the tension.” further elaborating, in reference to their latest duet (You Can’t Make Old Friends), he added “She really is an old friend. The song was written for the two of us. We sang it on the stage of the war memorial in Nashville and both of us were really choked up, because it’s  kind of a poignantly sad song. It’s about what am I going to do when you’re gone.”

Dolly also denies rumours of affairs “I love to flirt and I’ve never met a man I didn’t like. Men are my weakness. Short, fat, bald or skinny-I’ve had crushes on some very unusual men but Carl knows I’ll always come home and I’m not having sex with these people-I’m just flirtin’ and having fun.”

Rumours aside, over the years Dolly has made a name for herself outside of the music industry as quite the entrepreneur. From opening her very own theme park, Dollywood, plus a water park Splash Country, two dinner theatre type things (Dixie Stampede and Pirates Voyage), owning her own record label (Dolly Records), and starting up her own Imagination Library, to creating her own cosmetics line, to writing  books, not to mention her acting, Dolly has dipped her hands into just  about everything.

Theme parks are said to be breeding grounds for conditioning. The butterfly standing in for the W is another hint that things may not be as they appear.

\

Apparently she even inspired a pinball machine game

I know the above image is from Joyful Noise. But it looks like it could be taken from an infomercial. “Why honey, aren’t you just gorgeous in my make-up products!”

Dolly’s book, I Am A Rainbow, is reminiscent of Oz programming, although to most people the book itself seems innocent enough. There’s a video on YouTube of a little girl reading the book aloud. The book compares colours to our emotions; blue when we are sad, red when angry, you get the idea.

In 1987 Dolly released an album titled Rainbow. A purely pop album which didn’t do very well commercially. That was also the same year she was to have a prime-time variety show, which was cancelled after only one season.

Rainbows and butterflies seem to be recurring themes with Dolly. Dolly has famously said “The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain!”

Another album that seems ripe with conditioning is Backwoods Barbie. It may be full of catchy tunes and trademark Dolly-isms, but that’s just the point of MK.

Barbies, and dolls in general, are signs of programming. Especially when it comes to leopard print and hot pink. Just look at Nicki Minaj:

(Need I say more?)

She’s the god-mother of troubled teen sensation Miley Cyrus. When she came to Miley’s defense, she said “It’s not easy being young. It’s hard to know what to do. You’ve almost got to sacrifice your damn soul just to get anything done. I’ve loved her through the years and watched her grow up, and I’ve seen just how smart she is and talented she is… …She’s just trying to find her own place and wings and learn to fly… …I know that she has thought this all through. We’ll just let her go and do her own thing.”

(There’s Dolly with Kenny again)

Poor Miley. Gaining a terrible image and name for herself when that’s really her Beta Programming at work. (Worse still, if this is the “entertainment” of concerts today, what are they going to be 10 years from now? Sure, Marilyn Manson has raunchy fellating acts on stage-but it wasn’t that long ago that Miley was considered family friendly. She still has young fans, although I doubt any parent in their right mind would take their kids to go see her in concert these days.)

It is my opinion that Dolly moved up the ladder from slave to master/handler. Like Madonna. Dolly is at the top of her game in every sense of the word. She may not be on the front pages of the tabloids or all over the airwaves, yet Dolly is still everywhere. She soon will be on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury this June. And she is probably one of Miley’s handlers, but she has such a sweet down-home image that most people would never make the connection.

The Royals and William Combes

I came across this article about a year ago and meant to do a post about it then. Not sure why I didn’t get around to it sooner.

William Combes, aged 59, publicly came out about some strange events that happened in 1964 when he was just a young lad at a Catholic school in Kamloops B.C.

He wrote a signed and witnessed statement February 3 2010:

“I am an Interior Salish spirit dancer and am 58 years old. I live in Vancouver, Canada.
I am a survivor of the Kamloops and Mission Indian residential schools, both run by the Roman Catholic church. I suffered terrible tortures there at the hands especially of Brother Murphy, who killed at least two children. I witnessed him throw a child off a three story balcony to her death. He put me on a rack and broke some of my bones, in the Kamloop school basement, after I tried running away.

I also saw him and another priest burying a child in the school orchard one night.

In October, 1964 when I was 12 years old, I was an inmate at the Kamloops school and we were visited by the Queen of England and Prince Phillip. I remember it was strange because they came by themselves, no big fanfare or nothing. But I recognized them and the school principal told us it was the Queen and we all got given new clothes and good food for the first time in months the day before she arrived.

The day the Queen got to the school, I was part of a group of kids that went on a picnic with her and her husband and some of the priests, down to a meadow near Dead Man’s Creek. I remember it was weird because we all had to bend down and kiss her foot, a white laced boot.

After awhile, I saw the Queen leave the picnic with ten children from the school, and those kids never returned. We never heard anything more about them and never met them again even when we were older. They were all from around there but they all vanished.

The group that disappeared was seven boys and three girls, in age from six to fourteen years old. They were all from the smart group in class. Two of the boys were brothers and they were Metis from Quesnel. Their last name was Arnuse or Arnold. I don’t remember the others, just an occasional first name like Cecilia and there was an Edward.

What happened was also witnessed by my friend George Adolph, who was 11 years old at the time and a student there too. But he’s dead now.”

William Combes was scheduled to testify September 12 2011, when he suddenly died in the Catholic-run St.Pauls Hospital in Vancouver. He’d reportedly been in stable health and had been assigned a new doctor, who sent him to the hospital for “tests”, that’s when his health began to deteriorate. He died of undisclosed causes. The Coroners Office refused to comment.

His testimonies are still on videotape, and his written statement was kept safe.

There is much controversy and genocide against the natives that gets swept under the rug. The travesties they’ve suffered from the white devils is endless and continues to go on to this very day. It’s cruel, inhumane, and just plain wrong. Especially since we stole this land from them. Although in this instance, I wonder just what did the Royals do with these kids? My first thought it “They ate them.” I’ve always felt the Queen has a very evil and Reptilian look to her. Regardless of whether or not you believe in that sort of thing.

J.Lo sacrificed hens

While investigating the tragic death of Baby Aniston (whom I believe was a ritual sacrifice, same as little Caylee Anthony), I randomly came across this article on CeleBitchy about Jennifer Lopez.  Near the end of the article, they shared this golden nugget of information:

Ojani Noa married Jennifer Lopez in February 1997, but Noa claims that J. Lo cheated on him with P. Diddy and Miami club owner Chris Paciello. Desperate to save their marriage, he visited the LA home of a Santeria guru with Jennifer, he says.

“At the end of the ‘90s, my black magic godmother – who is now Jennifer’s spiritual leader – was protecting me, taking care of me, helping me and guiding me like a son,” Noa said on the Spanish-language show “Frank Cairo: Sin Libreto.”

“We participated together in sacrifices of chickens and hens, and in one occasion, I was present when they were cleansing Jennifer with the blood of a hen.”  The hen’s blood was poured over Jennifer until she was covered in it, Noa said. Then she was bathed in “holy water” to wash away the blood, and herbs were passed over her body. “Meanwhile, the godmother was asking the gods to cleanse Jennifer and save our marriage,” he said.

Noa claims he participated in the Santeria rituals and animal sacrifices only because Jennifer believed in them. Jennifer’s parents come from Puerto Rico, where Santeria is commonly practiced, but Jennifer has strongly denied that she has taken part in anything involving Santeria.

Noa also claims the “godmother” used the bloody rituals to get money from Jennifer, and eventually turned J.Lo against him. Noa says: “I’ve realized that I was never in favor of the animal sacrifices, but I was present at the rituals Jennifer was doing to improve her career and her love life. Jennifer had a lot of faith in these animal sacrifices, cleansings, black magic and Santeria. But the godmother planned them so she could have financial security through Jennifer. Afterward, she eliminated me and then got Jennifer to start hating me.”

In the past, Jennifer has reportedly been associated with Santeria rituals. In 2003, the Enquirer reported that a Santeria priestess conducted a cleansing ceremony for Jennifer after her wedding to actor Ben Affleck was canceled. Jennifer denied those reports as well.

While I believe much of what he said, I couldn’t help but notice he first said this woman was his black magic god-mother, yet further on he says he only took part in the rituals because Jennifer believed in them. I don’t know much about black magic, but I do know it ain’t called “black magic” because it’s so gosh-darn innocent.

J.Lo isn’t the first celebrity to be suspected of blood rituals, nor will she be the last. There’s been reports of Lady Gaga leaving large amounts of blood in a hotel bathtub. (Defenders point out that she’s often covered in blood on-stage and needs to wash it off somehow. Which, honestly, is a plausible explanation.) Ke$ha and Lady Gaga both do weird blood rituals on stage, “fake”, of course. Type “Celebrity Blood” into Google and “Celebrity Blood Sacrifices” is one of the first things to pop up. Ozzy Osbourne “accidentally” bit the head off a bat. And a dove. Kim Kardashian did a blood facial on her show.  The list goes on and on…

Very few celebrities would admit to their involvement in such rituals and sacrifices, because they know the average person would turn against them for it. Of course, they’re rapidly desensitizing the public by bombarding us with the imagery all in the name of “entertainment” so that we will come to accept it without protest when faced with it as reality. So did Jennifer Lopez actually sacrifice poultry and bathe in its blood? I wasn’t there, so I can’t say 100% yes, but I do believe her ex.
