Jordan's future king, Saudi bride to tie the knot in palace ceremony signalling continuity of rule

"It's not just a marriage, it's the presentation of the future king of Jordan," said political analyst Amer Sabaileh. "The issue of the crown prince has been closed."

AMMAN: The future king of Jordan and an architect from Saudi Arabia linked to her country's own monarchy are getting married on Thursday in a palace celebration that introduces him to the world and emphasizes continuity in an Arab state prized for its longstanding stability.

The union of Crown Prince Hussein, 28, and Rajwa Alseif, 29, buttresses the royal family's order of succession, refreshes its image after a palace feud and may even help resource-poor Jordan forge a strategic bond with its oil-rich neighbour, Saudi Arabia.

Excitement over the nuptials — Jordan's biggest royal event in years — has been building in the capital of Amman, where congratulatory banners of Hussein and his beaming bride adorn buses and hangover winding hillside streets. Shops had competing displays of royal regalia. Royal watchers speculated about which dress designer Alseif would select— still an official secret,

Nancy Tirana, a 28-year-old law intern, said she spent the last week scrutinizing Alseif's every move and stitch of clothing.

"She's just so beautiful, so elegant, and it's clear from her body language how much she loves the queen," she said, referring to Hussein's glamorous mother, Rania. "I feel like all of Jordan is getting married," Tirana gushed as she ate mansaf, Jordan's national dish of milky mutton and rice, before heading to a wedding-themed concert.

Jordan's 11 million citizens have watched the young crown prince rise in prominence in recent years, as he increasingly joined his father, King Abdullah II, in public appearances. Hussein has graduated from Georgetown University, joined the military and gained some global recognition by speaking at the U.N.

General Assembly. His wedding, experts say, marks his next crucial rite of passage.

"It's not just a marriage, it's the presentation of the future king of Jordan," said political analyst Amer Sabaileh. "The issue of the crown prince has been closed."

The wedding may create a brief feel-good moment for Jordanians during tough economic times, including persistent youth unemployment and an ailing economy.

Palace officials have turned the event — a week after Jordan's 77th birthday — into something of a PR campaign. Combining tradition and modernity, the royal family introduced a wedding hashtag (#Celebrating Al Hussein) and omnipresent logo that fuses the couple's initials into the Arabic words "We rejoice"

Photos and reels from Alseif's henna party — a traditional pre-wedding celebration featuring the bride and her female friends and relatives — and the couple's engagement ceremony in Saudi Arabia last summer have splashed across state-linked media.

The kingdom declared Thursday a public holiday so crowds of people could gather after the wedding service to wave at the couple's motorcade of red Land Rover jeeps — a nod to the traditional procession of horse riders clad in red coats during the reign of the country's founder, King Abdullah I. Tens of thousands of well-wishers are expected to flock to free concerts and cultural events. Huge screens have been set up nationwide for crowds to watch the occasion unfold.

The signing of the marriage contract will take place at Zahran Palace in Amman, which hasn't seen such pomp and circumstance since 1993, when, on a similarly sunny June day, Abdullah married Rania, who was born in Kuwait to Palestinian parents. Decades earlier, Abdullah's father, the late King Hussein, sealed his vows in the same garden with his second wife, the British citizen Antoinette Gardiner.

An array of foreign aristocrats and dignitaries, including senior royals from Europe and Asia, as well as First Lady Jill Biden and U.S. climate envoy John Kerry have confirmed attendance. The guest list is also expected to include Saudi aristocrats, as Alseif's mother traces her roots to the influential wife of Saudi Arabia's founder, King Abdul-Aziz Al Saud, Her billionaire father owns a major construction firm in the kingdom.

After the ceremony, the wedding party will move to Al Husseiniya Palace, a 30-minute drive away, for a reception, entertainment and a state banquet. The royals are expected to greet more than 1,700 guests at the reception.

Experts consider the marriage an advantageous alliance for the Hashemites, historic rivals of the Al Saud family to the east. Jordan has recently sought closer ties with Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Arab petrostates, which once doled out billions of dollars to the aid-dependent country but since have reined in their spending.

Even as restaurants blared call-and-response Arabic wedding songs and cars honked in celebration downtown, some signalled the royal fairy tale was fraught as Jordanians struggle to make ends meet. Osama, a 25-year-old bookseller, was thrilled about the occasion and festooned his car and shop windows with portraits of the royal family. But he also knew reality would return quickly.

"Of course, it's joyful," he said, declining to give his last name for fear of reprisals. "But in a couple of days, we'll just go back to our problems."

Apocalypse Approaching

 By Daymond Duck    Published on: March 20, 2021

The Bible clearly teaches that the Antichrist and False Prophet will be active on earth at the same time (during the Tribulation Period).

If we are close to a world government run by the Antichrist, we are close to a world religion run by the False Prophet.

If we are close to a world government and world religion, we are close to a new economic system that the Antichrist and False Prophet will use to control people.

Put another way, when the Tribulation Period arrives, there will be three global systems on earth at the same time: a global political system (world government), a global religious system (world religion), and a global economic system (world control of buying and selling).

On Sept. 25, 2015, the UN approved a document called “Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.”

Supporters called it a “New Universal Agenda” (a phrase comes from the Preamble of the document itself).

The document calls for a world government, world religion, and a world economic system to be established by 2030.

This is what globalism (creating regional groups of nations), the pope’s visit to Iraq (merging, Christianity, Judaism and Islam), and the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset (creation of a new economic system) are all about.

The fact that these three global systems are coming on the scene simultaneously in our generation is solid evidence that we are the terminal generation, and the Rapture is close.

Here are some prophecy-related events that recently made the news:

One, Michael Snyder, author and highly read publisher of The Economic Collapse Blog, posted articles about the U.S. economy two days in a row.

Snyder’s Mar. 11, 2021 article titled “So This Is How the U.S. Dollar Dies” reminds us that America’s national debt is approaching 30 trillion dollars and America has “now entered an era of hyperinflation,” which, in my opinion, is what the rider on the Black Horse is about in the Book of Revelation (Rev. 6:5-6).

Snyder believes “a major trigger event could crash the (stock) market at any time,” and I believe some globalists would deliberately do that if they thought it would result in a world government.

This is more than my opinion.

As incredible as it sounds, articles are appearing suggesting that there may be a deliberate effort to collapse the U.S. and global economy.

Snyder’s Mar. 12, 2021 article titled “Brace Yourselves for the Most Dramatic Shift in the Standard of Living in All of U.S. History” points out that prices of some products (gasoline, lumber, agricultural products, etc.) are soaring as “the U.S. dollar is being transformed into toilet paper money.”

Snyder believes world leaders will soon realize that the world needs to replace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, and he says the word “collapse” is “not nearly strong enough to describe what is eventually going to happen to us.”

I believe Snyder is totally correct about America’s economic situation and the coming collapse, but I believe the Church will be raptured before the worst of it hits in the Tribulation Period.

It looks like “Make America Great Again” is dying, and “The Fundamental Transformation of America” is coming on strong.

Two, many prophecy teachers have long taught that the U.S. must lose its position as a world’s superpower in order to bring in a world government.

On Mar. 9, 2021, Sen. Lindsey Graham warned that terrorists can enter the U.S. through America’s open border with Mexico.

The Biden administration has thrown the border wide open, is using free bus tickets to spread Covid-positive immigrants all over the country, drugs and terrorists are pouring across the border, human trafficking is up dramatically, and the Democrats are pushing legislation to disarm America’s citizens.

On Mar. 11, 2021, Biden said, “We may have to reinstate the lockdown restrictions.”

Why not lock down the border and let the American people go back to work?

On Mar. 13, 2021, it was reported that Congressman Steve Scalise said Congress is making gun ownership harder for American citizens and easier for illegal immigrants.

The reprobate thinking in Washington DC makes it easy to see the fall of America and rise of a world government on the horizon.

Three, concerning hyper-inflation, economic collapse, and famine: on Mar. 10, 2021, it was reported that some of the major banks are investing in agribusiness because they are expecting an increase in the world’s population, an increased demand for food, and the price of food to soar.

Four, Vatican News has just released a new book called God and the World to Come that is based on an interview with Pope Francis.

In the book, Pope Francis expresses support for the Great Reset (a new economic system designed to control everyone on earth), the New World Order (world government), and an “end to short-sighted nationalism” (an end to the sovereignty of nations).

He expressed support for businesses and industries that support the green agenda (world government) and opposition to those that don’t support it.

He called for changing the world and said, “We cannot waste any more time.”

Five, concerning Israel’s rebuilt Temple, Saudi Arabia recently conducted a Twitter campaign to emphasize the importance of Mecca and Medina as Muslim holy sites and de-emphasize the importance of the Al Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

The campaign triggered a tsunami of tweets, and the Saudis responded by acknowledging that Jerusalem is “the eternal capital of the Jewish people.”

The Saudis are afraid that the UN, EU, U.S. and others will let Iran get nuclear weapons, and they want Israel to help them do something about it.

They appear to have decided that a better relationship with Israel is more important than supporting the PA claim to the Temple Mount and East Jerusalem.

The Saudi effort to befriend Israel could open the door to a rebuilt Temple, and all serious prophecy teachers know that the Bible says that will happen (some, including this writer, believe the Temple will be rebuilt very early in the Tribulation Period).

Six, concerning a potential Middle East peace treaty: on Mar. 10, 2021, Pres. Biden’s Sec. of State, Antony Blinken, told the House Foreign Affairs Committee he thinks the Trump administration did a very good thing by getting some nations to normalize relations with Israel and “it is something we want to build on.”

There will eventually be a worthless treaty that will be confirmed by the Antichrist and begin the Tribulation Period.

Seven, on Mar. 14, 2021, it was reported that Kosovo, a Muslim-majority nation in the EU, is the third nation to open an embassy in Jerusalem (the U.S. opened the first one, and Guatemala opened the second one).

Finally, if you want to go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

HIRA MOHIBULLAH: “WITH ADVERTISING, I HELP THOSE WHO DON’T HAVE A VOICE”

Hira Mohibullah is an expert is telling stories that have a positive impact. We’re delighted to welcome her to our Final Jury this year representing BBDO Pakistan, where she is Executive Creative Director.

As the most awarded female creative in Pakistan, Hira Mohibullah believes that storytellers have a responsibility to tell the right kind of stories – especially in an industry as influential as advertising.

Her most notable campaigns include #BridalUniform, which raised awareness of the prevalence of underage brides; #BeatMe for UN Women, which challenged men to “beat” women (at something they excel at; and Chai Ka Nishaan (The Hot Tea Stain), a campaign that raised awareness on child burns caused through negligence around hot tea."

Since joining BBDO Pakistan four years ago, she has won more than 170 international awards for her work. A mother of two, Mohibullah is also an advocate for gender balance in the workplace and helped set up a day-care room at BBDO to encourage more working mothers to join the workforce. 

You live and work in Pakistan. Did you grow up there, too?

I’m a third culture kid, and so I don’t really know what place I call home. I grew up in the Middle East and moved to Pakistan when I was 14. I have very fond memories of my childhood and, quite contrary to popular belief, it was fun being a kid in Saudi Arabia! I had friends from all over the world, and from a very young age I was exposed to different cultures and languages, which I feel has shaped who I am today as a creative.  

What led you to a career in advertising: did you always dream of impacting positive social change through your work?

Growing up, I’ve hopped (all too rapidly) from one dream career to another. One thing that I’ve always known about myself is that I get bored with one thing real quick, and so the versatility that advertising brings to my life every single day is what makes it such a perfect match. Right after I completed my A Levels (after having taken every subject under the sun), I chanced upon the communication design course. There it was, my love for creative writing and design brought miraculously together. Advertising was the most obvious choice after that, and I’ve never looked back since.

In my twenties, while my friends were writing their personal statements for college applications full to the brim with life-changing struggles, I was wishing I had more of a story to tell. I grew up in a house with parents who did not believe in gender discrimination. They had two daughters and they gave us the best education to the best of their abilities. There was absolutely no pressure on us to fit a certain mould. With a great support system, I grew up living a sheltered life of privilege. But today, I realise that’s what my story is: with advertising I use my position of privilege to help those who don’t have a voice. It's all come full circle.

#BridalUniform was an incredibly powerful campaign, which won countless awards – including several at AD STARS. What challenges did you face in bringing it to life?

As with most pro-bono campaigns we do at BBDO, we had absolutely no money to spend on this one. So getting the word out to the entire nation, that it was not okay to marry off underage girls, seemed impossible. That challenge gave birth to a genius solution: we hijacked the biggest bridal fashion show of Pakistan, one that was already being covered by all major media channels in the country. We partnered Ali Xeeshan, Pakistan's foremost bridal wear designer and launched the Bridal Uniform: a merger between a little girl's school uniform and embellishments from a typical bridal outfit. Amidst the pomp and show, out walked the showstopper: a little girl wearing the #BridalUniform, symbolising the trade-off that happens when a child is deprived of her right to an education and instead is dressed as someone's wife. Without spending a dime, we were able to rack up one billion organic impressions.

Creativity can help to bring people together in times of crisis: are there any inspiring initiatives taking place in Pakistan right now? What is BBDO doing to keep its staff motivated during the coronavirus crisis?

It’s overwhelming to see everybody fighting on the same front, for the same cause. It’s brought the industry together in a way nothing ever has. Every brand I work on is doing their part to help the nation cope with this unprecedented struggle. We’re all working from home currently (being amongst the first few to implement the policy) and besides a few teething issues in the start, we’re meeting all our timelines even when the work has doubled in amount. My team and I usually get the brainstorming out of the way earlier in the day and then go our separate ways to finish off the pending tasks. Keeping meticulous checklists of individual workflows has helped me stay afloat by giving me a good visibility on the tasks lined up for the entire week.

What does your typical day look like?

I have two kids who I bring to work with me (a 6 year-old and a 7 month old) and in pre-COVID times, I used to joke about “traveling” to work because I would lug around all their stuff in a mini carry-on... everyday! These days in lockdown, I start early, get my 6 year-old’s homework done and ship him off to another room for his online classes while I find myself a quiet corner to tackle my checklist for the day.  

Do you have a process – is there a way you work through a problem? How much of your creative process happens subconsciously?

I’ve hardly ever had an idea strike me in a dream or in the shower, unlike many other creatives I know. For me, cracking a brief requires a formal session (always with a notebook in hand) where I start from a pain-point, deep-dive into real-world insights, colloquially unlock the idea for relevance, and finally tell the story in the voice of the brand. Also, being bi-lingual helps me tackle the creative process from two different vernacular angles.

Who are your creative heroes and why?

Fernando Machado. He’s brave, unapologetically relentless, he has an eye for what will absolutely shake the world and he’s not afraid to do it!  

You recently spoke at TEDxLahore. What did you talk was about?

My joint talk at TEDx was about the importance of telling the right kind of stories. The stories we hear growing up shape us into the people we are today: they define our limits, our fears and our dreams. As advertisers, we call ourselves storytellers, and so imagine the kind of power we hold to change the lives of those around us. Moiz Khan and I talked about the stories we’ve told in our time at BBDO Pakistan, and how they have positively impacted our society.

As the most awarded female creative in Pakistan, do you have advice for others hoping to ‘make it’ in advertising?

No one makes it in advertising on their own! Find your tribe. Go out there and look for like-minded people and a place that matches your vision.

Are you working on anything interesting right now?

Pakistanis love their tea. They have tea for breakfast, tea in the afternoon and then in the evening. There’s tea with snacks and tea over gossip sessions. In a shocking revelation, we learnt that 80% of child burns happen due to hot tea spills. Now in a country where tea consumption is at an all-time high, there is considerable talk around removing tea stains from clothes but none around the perils of being negligent while preparing or drinking that tea. After a successful first leg of the campaign where we were able to bring down the number of accidents by 50%, we’re now working on Round 2 this year!  

You attended AD STARS in 2018. Do you have any favourite memories of Busan?

My fondest memory of Busan is going to The Library of Mystery Literature, a quaint little place which is a library, a cafe and a museum all rolled into one.  Due to an ongoing book-club, they were closed at the time I wanted to visit. I called up the owner, and with my receptionist translating everything for me, told her it was the only day I could come visit and she generously opened up the cafe especially for me. There I met the famous crime novelist Kim Seong-jong, read a crime novel with a cup of buckwheat tea offset against a book-reading in a foreign language… it was really something else.

Hira Mohibullah will judge the Brand Experience & Activation, Creative eCommerce, Direct, Media and PR categories at the AD STARS 2020 Awards. To enter, submit your work before 15th May via adstars.org.

When he’s not knee-deep within the intricate particulars of his drawings, Steve is probably going browsing (most lately within the waves off the coast of Bali, the place he lived for 2 years together with his household) or cross-country snowboarding within the snowdrifts of rural Ontario, which he presently calls house.

A graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design, Steve’s work has been showcased in lots of gallery exhibitions, tv documentaries, and varied publications, and will be discovered in lots of personal properties and company collections worldwide.

Summer Solstice 2019: What You Need to Know

The summer solstice sets off the official start of summer as the Northern Hemisphere angles itself at the point in its orbit closest to the sun, causing the longest day and shortest night of the calendar year. Many cultures, both ancient and modern, celebrate the sunlight with rituals and holidays.

What Is the Summer Solstice?

The term solstice comes from the Latin words "sol" (sun) and "stitium" (still or stopped). It is used to describe the exact moment when the poles are tilted at their maximum toward or away from the sun.

The summer solstice occurs when the sun is directly above the Tropic of Cancer, which is the circle marking the latitude 23.5 degrees north, and which runs through Mexico, the Bahamas, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, India and southern China, according to the National Weather Service. For those living above the Tropic of Cancer, it is the longest day of the year.

For those who live in the Southern Hemisphere, this is the shortest day of the year and marks the arrival of winter. The longest day of the year for those south of the equator occurs between Dec. 20 and 22, when the sun is directly above the Tropic of Capricorn. This marks the winter solstice where the Northern Hemisphere will experience the shortest day of the year.

When Is the Summer Solstice?

The summer solstice usually falls between June 20 and 22 each year. This year, the solstice will occur on June 21 at 11:54 a.m. ET.

What Are the Traditions of the Summer Solstice?

The summer solstice has been observed by humans since as early as the Stone Age, and was a significant holiday for many ancient cultures.

In the past, summer solstice traditions included spreading ashes from bonfires across one's garden to bring a bountiful harvest, to wearing protective garlands of herbs and flowers to ward off evil spirits, according to History.com.

"The significance of the summer solstice to ancient cultures had many aspects, including calendaring, crop planting and agriculture, moving their camp or housing location for nomadic peoples, and annual cultural ceremonies,” said Aparna Venkatesan, an associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of San Francisco.

Ancient Romans celebrated the arrival of the summer with a religious festival in honor of Vesta, goddess of the hearth, according to History.com. Women would enter temples named for the goddess to leave offerings with the hopes of receiving good blessings for their families.

In Ancient Greece, the summer solstice sometimes marked the new year and became a time to hold a festival for Cronus, the god of agriculture. Even slaves were allowed to break social codes and participate in the festivities.

The alignment of Ancient archaeological structures such as the Great Pyramids of Kufu and Khafre on Egypt’s Giza plateau suggests Ancient Egypt observed the summer solstice as well. That's because if you're standing directly in front of the Sphinx, the sun sets precisely between the two pyramids on the summer solstice. Stonehenge, the 5,000-year-old ring of standing stones in southwest England, aligns with the direction of the sunrise on the summer solstice. And while History.com notes that there is little archeological evidence to suggest the location was used for prehistoric rituals, thousands of visitors, many in colorful costumes, gather around the monument annually to watch the sunrise.

Many Native American tribes performed solstice rituals. According to History.com, the Sioux took part in a "ceremonial sun dance around a tree while wearing symbolic colors." Researchers believe that Wyoming's Bighorn Medicine Wheel, an arrangement of stones that has been found to align with the rising sun at the summer solstice, was the site of the tribe's annual dance. Remaining tribes still take part in solstice rituals, according to History.com.

How Is the Summer Solstice Celebrated?

In Sweden, the summer solstice is marked with Midsummer celebrations, as citizens enjoy the end of a long winter with assorted pagan traditions, according to the Swedish Institute. People start the day by picking flowers and making wreaths to hang on maypoles, which are then used for traditional ring-dances. Unmarried girls who place flowers under their pillows before going to bed will dream of their future husbands, according to local superstition. Modern Swedes believe it is a magical time for love; many weddings and christenings are held around the solstice. 

Followers of modern-day Wicca, a nature-based pagan religion based on pre-Christian traditions, celebrate the Sun God on the longest day of the year with fruitful picnics on floral-adorned altars. According to Liza Chamberlain, author of "Wicca for Beginners: A Guide to Wiccan Beliefs, Rituals, Magic, and Witchcraft," the Wiccan Sabbat celebration of midsummer, or "Litha," marks the "pinnacle of the Sun's power to fuel the growing season."

And in southern California, the city of Santa Barbara hosts a three-day festival for the summer solstice, featuring street vendors, music, lots of food and a parade. The Santa Barbara Summer Solstice Celebration, which is in its 45th year, will take place on June 21 through June 23. 

Each year, thousands of yogis from around the world flock to Times Square in New York City to celebrate the summer solstice with free yoga classes. The annual yoga fest, "Solstice in Times Square: Mind Over Madness Yoga," was launched in 2003 and designed to keep urban-dwellers centered, focused and present, according to the event's organizers.

"As the sun climbs to its highest point and is suspended in the sky for the longest period, it provides us with a vital force that sustains all of life, giving us a focal point and uniting our purpose to achieve our highest ambitions," wrote Douglass Stewart, the event's co-founder, on the event's website.

Those looking to find zen in the busiest neighborhood in Manhattan can sign up for one of the seven classes scheduled throughout the day.

Is there a full moon on the summer solstice?

No, this year's summer solstice does not coincide with a full moon. June's full moon will actually land on Father's Day, June 16. 

It's rare that a June full moon, also known as the Strawberry Moon, lands on the solstice. The last time that happened was in 2016 and before that it occurred in 1948.

The Score

The Score

By Scott Fraser November 8, 2018

© Scott Fraser, All Rights Reserved.

The latest edition of the show was airing tonight. It had taken a while, and what started out as a crazy idea by a Billionaire who was tired of watching bad people fuck up the planet and people die and suffer as a result, had the idea to “correct” the problem. It was a pretty simple idea. Put a price on the head of dictators, terrorists, mass murders and those who had profited from the destruction of the planet.

When The Score first launched as an app, it was pretty straight forward. A name would be presented, with a link to all known documented and confirmed evidence against the Bounty. Additionally, there were in app links to video, news articles, and witness (if any) testimony. The idea was to inform those who contributed. And that was the beauty of the system - it was your choice if you wanted to see the Bounty taken down. From a single American dollar to millions, you and/or your company/organization could donate to fund the operation.

The “Operation” would be the recon and targeting of the Bounty. For ex-military combat trained men and women, here was a chance to make some serious money. Yes there were risks to your life if you signed up for an Operation, but one good kill could earn you enough to retire, and in the event you died on the mission, your family or whoever you assigned would get your payment. Professional Dogs of War, former intelligence operatives, or anyone who thought they had what it would take, could sign up, get mission training and the take part in the “Settling of The Score”.

The real genius of the system though, was that the Bounty could counter bid. A named target, could counter bid to have his or her name removed and with that, be ineligible to be added back to the list for eighteen months. The Score’s designers wanted to give someone the ability to repent if you will. Any and all funds collected from a Bounty’s counter bid, would go towards a selected humanitarian project.

There of course were all sorts of legal and ethical issues when it was first presented to the world. People of Power from the start tried to have it shut down. Religious groups opposed it, and tried to remind us all, that taking another’s life was a sin. Lawyers from around the globe launched lawsuits and injunctions. None of it mattered. The first Bounty had been given a 90 day timeline to bid, and in those first 90 days millions of people from around the globe had signed up. The first Bounty raised over $35,000,000.xx when the deadline had been reached. Forty days later, a terrorist dictator in North Africa had been killed, along with most of his top officials by a elite group of former special forces soldiers in the name of humanity. A part of the planet that for over two hundred years had suffered war, atrocities, crimes against humanity had a wake up call.

When the headlines broke about a successful Settling of The Score, the world took a moment to pause. How could an app do what governments had failed to do? How had the team been able to get in and out where so many others had failed? Intelligence agencies must be working with The Score team, at least that’s what people speculated. But mostly people talked about, how it had worked. And when the next Bounty’s headshot started showing at on people’s devices at noon EST the day after the first Operation completion, the app became the fastest adopted app of all time.

Saudi Arabia and Israel were the first to call for a World meeting to discuss having the app shut down. All that did was drive user numbers up. China declared that their weaponized AI would take the system down, but never delivered on their promise. World leaders who had nuclear arms, stated they would use their weapons of mass destruction against the app. But where was the app actually located on the planet? According to all known research the app used a form of quantum computing to spread itself out around the globe on various public and private networks. In countries where threats were made against the app, localized user adoption soared, and those numbers startled those in power. After all, what are you going to do when seventy percent of those whom you rule over use or have the app on their device? Experts around the globe speculated that it was actually an AI and not some human team who managed the system, and that it was semi self aware, and with that knowledge, it had the power to stay one step ahead of humanity.

The public, the public appeared to love the The Score. From London UK, to Tokyo to New York City people who had spent the past thirty years being flooded with images, video, sound clips and photos of the horror of what man-kind was capable of, everyday people had finally found a release. Men and women no longer had to sit by idle and watch the world burn. There was now a solution - no, it wasn’t perfect, and no, maybe it wasn’t ethical but as the app tagline stated, “Sometimes You have No Choice But to Fight Fire with Fire”.

In time the app evolved into what it is today, a weekly TV show with a two hour special upon completion of an operation. Like the arena in the era of Rome, the modern incarnation of a bloodsport event, it had become the most popular show on the air. Team members who had completed in multiple operations were now as revered as professional athletes and celebrities. Team member profiles could be anonymous or not, there by allowing members to keep their privacy and identity private. Billions had been raised as Bounty’s counter-bid to save their lives. In general, as a result of The Score, the world had become a better place.

The first big changes around the globe happened when the first non-terrorist/dictator/leader was elected as The Bounty. He was the CEO of a chemical company had been selected as a Bounty. He had tried in vain to have a legal loophole exposed. He spent millions on commercials, and TV slots pleading for his life. He even tried to buy his way out, but in the end, the world was done with him and his corporation destroying the planet for profit. And when he had been found dead, two bullets through the back of his head in his bedroom in his secure supposedly remote mansion in the Rockies of the US, the world again took a pause. The News outlets and media didn’t even wait for The Score to claim credit, they ran with it giving The Score credit for another successful operation completion.

Wall street tanked. Stock exchanges around the globe had their single worst day in history. But we got through it, and we adapted and the world moved forward. Just now there was a correction tool that no one was exempt from. Companies had evolved to insure there actions in the name of profits for shareholders, didn’t put any senior members at risk. Billionaire and Millionaires who had been idle and enjoyed their riches started to step forward and donate money, time and resources to solving global and humanitarian issues. World leaders who had once remained untouchable as they were “the good guys” but whom had been supplying weapons or goods and services to other nations of questionable morality stopped for fear they might be the next Bounty.

Hate groups and militia in so called free counties ceased to exist. More than few leaders of said groups had been Bounty’s in the first couple of years and well, apparently their resolve for those they hated was out weighed by wanting to stay alive. When the leader of North Korea had been listed, the dictator in power threatened again and again to use his weapons and armies to raze the world. But when it was announced he was dead, it was also announced that his entire family and extended family had been executed as well. The generals and military forces had wanted to make sure the world understood that They Had Gotten the message and that they would not allow anyone to claim the dead mans throne.

Drug cartel leaders. Dead. Mass murders. Dead. Organized crime leaders. Dead. If you profited from the destruction of the planet, you were put on notice. If your government had screwed over its citizens, you now had to worry you might be next. Where as other issues such as world hunger, poverty, climate change had been presented to humanity had failed to unite the citizens of the globe, The Score had succeeded. And humanity was better for it. Greed could get you killed. Being a shitty person could get you killed. Invading your neighbours to the north, well that could get you killed as well. You clear cut a rainforest, here’s your face next week on The Score as a possible future Bounty. Because that was part of what made it work - The Score didn’t need to actually have you be the next Bounty, all it had to do was list you as a possible future Bounty.

Tonight’s episode was a two hour conclusion. Due to the nature of the Operations, the conclusion episodes aired a week after the completion of an operation. Viewers wouldn’t know until Bounty had been claimed the airing of the next two hour special, but when we awoke to the news of death of the latest Bounty we all knew, in a week there would be a two-hour special airing. Playoff hockey, nope, Super Bowl game, nope, Presidential speech, nope. Whatever had been planned for the night of the special, better reschedule or have crappy viewer results, because we would all be watching The Score.

Yes the world still had issues, but I remember as a teen the stress my parents seemed to always be under because of the state of the world and that daily stream of fear which had once flooded everyone’s screens every waking minute of the day. Today we woke up looking forward to a new episode of The Score and not the atrocities committed in Pakistan against women or the needless death and destruction of a mad men in the middle east. We all slept just a little bit better these days, and generally, people were nicer to one another.

The fridge was stocked with beer, pizzas had been pre-ordered, the kids had friends coming over for the show tonight. It should be a good episode, the latest Bounty was a former police chief who in his career had allowed the shootings by his officers of fourteen innocent black men in his thirty years on the force. He had once belonged to the KKK. He had been complacent in the actions of those serving beneath him. He had been in a position of power with the ability to change things, and he didn’t. He had been part of the problem. The former police chief had been very vocal online about this is wrong, this is vigilante justice, this is barbaric, he has grandchildren, what about his sick wife. None of that mattered. The reality is, even with all his friends and political officials he knew, they hadn’t raised even a third of what the Order Bid had reached. Last Tuesday he had been found dead with the customary two bullets through the back of his head in a remote resort in Switzerland. Some called it Justice, others called it Entertainment - mostly people called it The Great Equalizer.

<p>During my time off from facebook I decided to look at one of my favourite subjects and collect Pins for Islamic Art on one of my Pinterest accounts. I have a great love for it, throughout the centuries – Islamic Art and Architecture. I stumbled across some Artists from Saudi – some institutions in Saudi that are currently promoting Arabian Modern Artists – and I did not like what I have seen. Some of the Photography is OK, some of the paintings are sort of Dadaism – but disturbing. Monochrome. But most of it is ugly and it appears that in their haste to be “Modern” the Saudis have actually become victims of Zionism. Out of a naivety no doubt, as any rush to develop at such a fast pace is always going to pose problems. This is a subject I am getting back to after a few years – I first started to study it when first expanding my activism for Palestine to the greater conflicts of the MENA Wars – as ISIS was rampant in all the social media groups at the time.  And I discovered not only the tragic ugliness of modern Saudi Urban Design, one of the ugliest in the entire world in my opinion but the destruction of Heritage across the Levant due to Da’ish (ISIS) and connecting the dots and realising that Zionism has manipulated it all was a very fast and simple connection to make. It is, in fact, crystal clear.</p> <p>Only Zionism stands to benefit from such destruction and the destruction of all that is Islamic in Mecca and Medina – giving way to Architecture designed by a British company for the site of Mecca has yet again broken my heart today looking at the scar and what has to be the ugliest monstrosity of Architecture I have seen globally. I think it will take thousands of years actually to beat it. I am also a recent Revert to Islam. And I am – like many Reverts and even Non-Muslims hungry to soak up Islamic History and Culture – and Art and Architecture – which for Centuries has been the most scientific and the most beautiful ancient architecture I have ever seen in the world. It is breathtakingly beautiful, from a simple Moroccan tile, to the great Mosques stretching from the Levant to the other side of Asia. From the Calligraphy, old and new, to the modern art. Most of which is so absolutely breathtaking, I wish I was 17 again. Because to plan a life and career in order to travel and see most of it would be a life spent in such beauty and awe and amazement – it would lift the soul, lighten and brighten and spiritually bring one as close to heaven as it is possible to get on this earth. And that is not said because I am a recent Revert, I thought the same about Islamic Art and Architecture decades ago. When the concept of Reverting would have been something I would never consider.</p> <p>I am an artist. I have an Education in Art. I also have an Education in Spatial Design. Colour and Form. Architectural Design. So I am not one of these people who is just taking aim at the Modern Art and Architecture in Saudi and shooting it down as the ugliest and most soul destroying thing this planet has seen in a thousand years and more for the sake of just insulting it – I happen to have an educated opinion.</p> <p>We – as humans are directly affected emotionally by our surroundings. It is why, in most of the West, Interior Design is such a great movement. From the Professional Designer to the man and woman on the street – we all like to relax in spaces that make us feel better. And there is a science to it. A proven science behind it.</p> <p>Colour – each colour emits a light wave more powerful than a microwave. And each colour directly affects our mood and emotions. Some colours can even be used as torture. Blood red, for example, is used sparingly in nature and always surrounded by plenty of greens and blues. A poppy growing in a field is a bright and jolly thing, but if the entire field was the colour of the red poppy without a break and no other colour, you would not be able to look at it. Physically – your eyes would involuntarily move away, and you would start to get stabbing pains in your brain and central nervous system. It is why Surgeons are protected and able to rest their eyes in theatre while operating – the gowns, the walls, indeed the drapes covering the patient are all in a specific colour of green – the exact opposite of the blood red on the colour spectrum, to rest the eyes and absorb the colour wave of the blood red. Enabling them to focus on the job at hand without any involuntary eye movements and without any discomfort or loss of common sense throughout their central nervous systems. Other colours can literally produce Joy – they cause the brain to start producing positive hormones. The yellows the yellow ochre, the orange colours. Other colours are good for Therapy. It is advised if you are suffering from emotional stress or from bereavement to paint your walls in a room of your house a shade of violet – it actually absorbs the negative emotions and soothes your emotions. In a very powerful way.</p> <p>A similar effect is caused by what we term as Designers by “Form” – or the shape of objects and rooms and spaces. As with colour – our brains are pre-programmed over thousands and millions of years to react to certain colours – blood red, the red of a poisonous berry, there is nothing we can do to re-program our brains. Our Central Nervous Systems are going to react. Bright yellow and black stripes – the colours of a stinging Wasp or Hornet – in nature you do not see those colours or patterns in many places or on many objects. Most people, when shown the two colours together striped like that will think of a Wasp – and get stung. So there is a central nervous system reaction. Similarly – the shape of everything has just a monumentous effect on us. Sharp objects will repel. Round curves will appeal. In a large public foyer of a public building, it is poosible to create a very large space, with no interior corridors or partitioning and make crowds of thousands of people walk the way you want them to walk as a Designer simply by using Colour and Form. If you want all the people to turn left as they enter a building, you don’t have to put a barrier to stop them from turning right. You just adapt the shape on the left and the right and add some colour and or form which repels slightly the way you don’t want them to walk,  and everyone who enters the building will walk the way you want them to walk. This can bee seen in airports for example. And most commonly in Supermarkets and Super Stores, where every isle and every bit of colour is used to make you walk a certain way and stop and look at things you don’t want to buy, and buy them.</p> <p>It is subliminal. Totally and it is being used in ways and to levels that the vast majority of humans are completely unaware of. And who can say that a Supermarket Foodstore is an attractive place – an attractive space you’d love to spend all your time in in the West? If you were put in the exact same Space but with nothing in there for sale – just as objects, you’d want to get out. It’s as simple as that.</p> <p>Humans have been designing for thousands and thousands of years. And Design and Architecture has evolved, simply because humans feel comfortable and pleased in a Space – so that type of Space has become more prolific. And in fact, when you study it very deeply on cause and effect when it comes to emotional benefit – the best Designer by a million times is Nature. And the proof of that can be seen these days by the Scientific Researched Proof that a great medication for Stress, in fact, one of the best of all – is nature and getting out in it. Or just by looking at Photography of it. Not as good as being out in it for real, but some images will do a great job of a short fix if you can’t go on a nature ramble instantly you feel stressed.</p> <p>This type of Design, Colour and Form is used in the Design of Hospitals – Schools and Public buildings,  it’s used everywhere in the West and the Mechanics of it have been known for a long, long, long time. So knowing all of this – before even without bringing into the equation – the destruction of Heritage and History in Saudi Arabia in their Modernisation Program – the Destrcution of Islam in fact and everything related to it, let’s just focus on the actual “Colour and Form”. And we are going to start with the “Form” – the shape of things. And the effect that it has on you when you look at it. And for that, we shall use a Saudi Photographer who has been documenting the changes. The images are much more recent and the structure is a lot more finished than when I last focused on this a few years ago in 2015/15. And the effect on me when looking at it – well, I wouldn’t to go there. And I am a recent Revert, so one day if I can I should go there. But for the effect the “Form’ will have on my emotional wellbeing, I will be dreading going. And I will be packing some things in my bag to focus on, so I don’t have to look at it. And to concentrate on why I am really there if I ever get there, will be really difficult. Because my Central Nervous System will be overwhelmed with the Ugly affect. It’s as if the beast itself has scarred the landscape. And everything I had ever imagined, the soothing sand colours, punctuated with souks and stalls selling the purest wares on sale, from perfumes to spices to calligraphy and all things one woruld expect – has been replaced with a Beast that is enveloping a Scar. A Beast so big over a Scar so huge, there is nothing left of anything else. Nothing. It must be overwhelming to finally get to the Kaaba and see it is actually there. Stood defiantly in the middle of the ugliest Beast over lording the Ugliest Scar in the entire World.</p> <p>This plan to shove the Arab States into the Levant to redesign it started with Da’ish (ISIS) you thought – well you thought wrong. This Plan to abolish the Beauty, Light and Peace of Islam started when the British started planning it all. It started before 2002. And in my opinion, it was deliberate. The entire Design of Mecca is designed to be an “Experience” – one to Pre Program every Muslim who goes there so when they leave they are “Disturbed”. In fact – in my <span style="line-height:27.2px;">opinion, if anyone was asked to design Architecture that could spiritually and emotionally “Disturb” a human more, then the Architecture and Design of the New Mecca could not be better at that. It’s like a giant Multi Storey Carpark built in 1960 – one that requires a Demolition Order on it. Most of this type of Architecture in the UK – though none of it quite so ugly – has either been destroyed and blown up or is synonymous with the worst parts of cities and towns. And by the design of this – once you get there – there is no escape from it. It remonds me of a Freak Show at a Theme Park – an indoor Roller Coaster that has freaky things in it to make you scream and feel uplifted when yo finally come out, something you pay to go on to upset yourself and feel thankful you live in a world where that isn’t real. With Mecca – you are trapped inside this monstrosity until you can get out. When you can walk round the full circuit and leave. I don’t want to go there. Ever. And for the first time EVER – having listened to many Muslims from many Countries state on social media that for them, to be near God no longer requires them to visit Mecca – I understand them, and I agree. I’d rather look at a picture of what it used to be, and I’d rather time travel in my mind, back to a time before this epic and total abhorrence was built. I don’t blame the Saudis though, I blame the UK, as it was a British Architect that designed it. And it was US Contractors that built it. I blame Saudi only for not insisting that one of their own Architects was not employed to have overall control of the Design.</p> <p>Saudi – you could vastly improve it by changing the colours. The colours and the lighting. And you could vastly improve it in a lot of ways. And I suggest you start employing some people that know how to do that immediately. But there is absolutely NO WAY that anything other than your money should EVER go into the Levant for Re Building – and if you drag your British EVIL Allies into it with you – or those EVIL American destroyers, well, expect World War Three and the entire Muslim World turning on you in ways you have not yet experienced. And MBS – with the sense of humour in your Time Magazine Article – you grew up in this Modern MONSTROSITY – what difference would you know? You want Sunni Islam to dominate the Shia of Iran and Persia. I suggest STRONGLY that you start traveling. And that you go to Iran and some of the Asian Islamic Countries – and that you stay off your Super Yacht and you stay OUT of expensive Hotels. And that you start experiencing what the landscape of ancient Cultures can do for lightening and brightening. Because I have taken a trek through the so-called Art of Saudi – and the so-called Design of Saudi from your most esteemed institutions, and I have not seen a thing of beauty except some Portraiture Photography. Faces. Old people’s faces. That is literally the ONLY thing of beauty I have seen, in hours and hours of trawling through your so-called Cultural and Art Institutions and your so-called Art. There are no words to describe it. It’s not Fundamentalist. It is – it’s Fundamentalist. But it is also totally fucked up. But then it is hardly surprising really is it – there is nothing beautiful or lightening or brightening surrounding any of you over there to evoke any superb art. So the only work any of you  can create is DARKENING.</p> <p>Gulf States have destroyed the Levant with Da’ish (ISIS) – but if Trump gets his way and Saudi wades in with the British and Americans to Rebuild the damage – then what ISIS have so far done will be a tiny drop in the ocean of destruction. MBS – you need to sign up to UNESCO and go and Intern there for a couple of years before your country can EVER get their hands on any Rebuilding. You definitely have to send Al Turki off for a cuple of eyars to do that. In fact – I am starting to worry about what harm could come of Libya in your hands. I hate the French right now due to their involvement yet again in the Tri- Partate bombing of Syria last week, for the Zionists. But architecturally – and with regard to Heritage and making the Spaces Spiritually Enlightening – they are safer than the UK and USA and Gulf States.  UK and USA as far as I am concerned, have scuppered every single chance they have ever had in Re-Building any of the Countries they put ISIS into. </span></p> <p>For everyone that wants to see what I am talimg about – just follow the link. If Architecture was Psychological Warfare then the new Mecca woud win Global Prize. And nothing I think could really top in in a century. Or more.</p> <p><a href="http://www.ahmedmater.com/desertofpharan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.ahmedmater.com/desertofpharan</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> Trump wants Arab States to rebuild Syria and Iraq, but what type of Spiritually killing architecture would they plan? And is this one of the reasons Trump wants UNESCO abolished? Zionist Fundamentalist eyesore of Mecca and Medina is a reason everyone needs to see before the entire Levant is destroyed along with Islam throughout the Levant.

It is breathtakingly beautiful, from a simple Moroccan tile, to the great Mosques stretching from the Levant to the other side of Asia. From the Calligraphy, old and new, to the modern art. Most of which is so absolutely breathtaking, I wish I was 17 again. Because to plan a life and career in order to travel and see most of it would be a life spent in such beauty and awe and amazement – it would lift the soul, lighten and brighten and spiritually bring one as close to heaven as it is possible to get on this earth. And that is not said because I am a recent Revert, I thought the same about Islamic Art and Architecture decades ago. When the concept of Reverting would have been something I would never consider.

I am an artist. I have an Education in Art. I also have an Education in Spatial Design. Colour and Form. Architectural Design. So I am not one of these people who is just taking aim at the Modern Art and Architecture in Saudi and shooting it down as the ugliest and most soul destroying thing this planet has seen in a thousand years and more for the sake of just insulting it – I happen to have an educated opinion.

We – as humans are directly affected emotionally by our surroundings. It is why, in most of the West, Interior Design is such a great movement. From the Professional Designer to the man and woman on the street – we all like to relax in spaces that make us feel better. And there is a science to it. A proven science behind it.

Colour – each colour emits a light wave more powerful than a microwave. And each colour directly affects our mood and emotions. Some colours can even be used as torture. Blood red, for example, is used sparingly in nature and always surrounded by plenty of greens and blues. A poppy growing in a field is a bright and jolly thing, but if the entire field was the colour of the red poppy without a break and no other colour, you would not be able to look at it. Physically – your eyes would involuntarily move away, and you would start to get stabbing pains in your brain and central nervous system. It is why Surgeons are protected and able to rest their eyes in theatre while operating – the gowns, the walls, indeed the drapes covering the patient are all in a specific colour of green – the exact opposite of the blood red on the colour spectrum, to rest the eyes and absorb the colour wave of the blood red. Enabling them to focus on the job at hand without any involuntary eye movements and without any discomfort or loss of common sense throughout their central nervous systems. Other colours can literally produce Joy – they cause the brain to start producing positive hormones. The yellows the yellow ochre, the orange colours. Other colours are good for Therapy. It is advised if you are suffering from emotional stress or from bereavement to paint your walls in a room of your house a shade of violet – it actually absorbs the negative emotions and soothes your emotions. In a very powerful way.

A similar effect is caused by what we term as Designers by “Form” – or the shape of objects and rooms and spaces. As with colour – our brains are pre-programmed over thousands and millions of years to react to certain colours – blood red, the red of a poisonous berry, there is nothing we can do to re-program our brains. Our Central Nervous Systems are going to react. Bright yellow and black stripes – the colours of a stinging Wasp or Hornet – in nature you do not see those colours or patterns in many places or on many objects. Most people, when shown the two colours together striped like that will think of a Wasp – and get stung. So there is a central nervous system reaction. Similarly – the shape of everything has just a monumentous effect on us. Sharp objects will repel. Round curves will appeal. In a large public foyer of a public building, it is poosible to create a very large space, with no interior corridors or partitioning and make crowds of thousands of people walk the way you want them to walk as a Designer simply by using Colour and Form. If you want all the people to turn left as they enter a building, you don’t have to put a barrier to stop them from turning right. You just adapt the shape on the left and the right and add some colour and or form which repels slightly the way you don’t want them to walk,  and everyone who enters the building will walk the way you want them to walk. This can bee seen in airports for example. And most commonly in Supermarkets and Super Stores, where every isle and every bit of colour is used to make you walk a certain way and stop and look at things you don’t want to buy, and buy them.

It is subliminal. Totally and it is being used in ways and to levels that the vast majority of humans are completely unaware of. And who can say that a Supermarket Foodstore is an attractive place – an attractive space you’d love to spend all your time in in the West? If you were put in the exact same Space but with nothing in there for sale – just as objects, you’d want to get out. It’s as simple as that.

Humans have been designing for thousands and thousands of years. And Design and Architecture has evolved, simply because humans feel comfortable and pleased in a Space – so that type of Space has become more prolific. And in fact, when you study it very deeply on cause and effect when it comes to emotional benefit – the best Designer by a million times is Nature. And the proof of that can be seen these days by the Scientific Researched Proof that a great medication for Stress, in fact, one of the best of all – is nature and getting out in it. Or just by looking at Photography of it. Not as good as being out in it for real, but some images will do a great job of a short fix if you can’t go on a nature ramble instantly you feel stressed.

This type of Design, Colour and Form is used in the Design of Hospitals – Schools and Public buildings,  it’s used everywhere in the West and the Mechanics of it have been known for a long, long, long time. So knowing all of this – before even without bringing into the equation – the destruction of Heritage and History in Saudi Arabia in their Modernisation Program – the Destrcution of Islam in fact and everything related to it, let’s just focus on the actual “Colour and Form”. And we are going to start with the “Form” – the shape of things. And the effect that it has on you when you look at it. And for that, we shall use a Saudi Photographer who has been documenting the changes. The images are much more recent and the structure is a lot more finished than when I last focused on this a few years ago in 2015/15. And the effect on me when looking at it – well, I wouldn’t to go there. And I am a recent Revert, so one day if I can I should go there. But for the effect the “Form’ will have on my emotional wellbeing, I will be dreading going. And I will be packing some things in my bag to focus on, so I don’t have to look at it. And to concentrate on why I am really there if I ever get there, will be really difficult. Because my Central Nervous System will be overwhelmed with the Ugly affect. It’s as if the beast itself has scarred the landscape. And everything I had ever imagined, the soothing sand colours, punctuated with souks and stalls selling the purest wares on sale, from perfumes to spices to calligraphy and all things one woruld expect – has been replaced with a Beast that is enveloping a Scar. A Beast so big over a Scar so huge, there is nothing left of anything else. Nothing. It must be overwhelming to finally get to the Kaaba and see it is actually there. Stood defiantly in the middle of the ugliest Beast over lording the Ugliest Scar in the entire World.

This plan to shove the Arab States into the Levant to redesign it started with Da’ish (ISIS) you thought – well you thought wrong. This Plan to abolish the Beauty, Light and Peace of Islam started when the British started planning it all. It started before 2002. And in my opinion, it was deliberate. The entire Design of Mecca is designed to be an “Experience” – one to Pre Program every Muslim who goes there so when they leave they are “Disturbed”. In fact – in my opinion, if anyone was asked to design Architecture that could spiritually and emotionally “Disturb” a human more, then the Architecture and Design of the New Mecca could not be better at that. It’s like a giant Multi Storey Carpark built in 1960 – one that requires a Demolition Order on it. Most of this type of Architecture in the UK – though none of it quite so ugly – has either been destroyed and blown up or is synonymous with the worst parts of cities and towns. And by the design of this – once you get there – there is no escape from it. It remonds me of a Freak Show at a Theme Park – an indoor Roller Coaster that has freaky things in it to make you scream and feel uplifted when yo finally come out, something you pay to go on to upset yourself and feel thankful you live in a world where that isn’t real. With Mecca – you are trapped inside this monstrosity until you can get out. When you can walk round the full circuit and leave. I don’t want to go there. Ever. And for the first time EVER – having listened to many Muslims from many Countries state on social media that for them, to be near God no longer requires them to visit Mecca – I understand them, and I agree. I’d rather look at a picture of what it used to be, and I’d rather time travel in my mind, back to a time before this epic and total abhorrence was built. I don’t blame the Saudis though, I blame the UK, as it was a British Architect that designed it. And it was US Contractors that built it. I blame Saudi only for not insisting that one of their own Architects was not employed to have overall control of the Design.

Saudi – you could vastly improve it by changing the colours. The colours and the lighting. And you could vastly improve it in a lot of ways. And I suggest you start employing some people that know how to do that immediately. But there is absolutely NO WAY that anything other than your money should EVER go into the Levant for Re Building – and if you drag your British EVIL Allies into it with you – or those EVIL American destroyers, well, expect World War Three and the entire Muslim World turning on you in ways you have not yet experienced. And MBS – with the sense of humour in your Time Magazine Article – you grew up in this Modern MONSTROSITY – what difference would you know? You want Sunni Islam to dominate the Shia of Iran and Persia. I suggest STRONGLY that you start traveling. And that you go to Iran and some of the Asian Islamic Countries – and that you stay off your Super Yacht and you stay OUT of expensive Hotels. And that you start experiencing what the landscape of ancient Cultures can do for lightening and brightening. Because I have taken a trek through the so-called Art of Saudi – and the so-called Design of Saudi from your most esteemed institutions, and I have not seen a thing of beauty except some Portraiture Photography. Faces. Old people’s faces. That is literally the ONLY thing of beauty I have seen, in hours and hours of trawling through your so-called Cultural and Art Institutions and your so-called Art. There are no words to describe it. It’s not Fundamentalist. It is – it’s Fundamentalist. But it is also totally fucked up. But then it is hardly surprising really is it – there is nothing beautiful or lightening or brightening surrounding any of you over there to evoke any superb art. So the only work any of you  can create is DARKENING.

Gulf States have destroyed the Levant with Da’ish (ISIS) – but if Trump gets his way and Saudi wades in with the British and Americans to Rebuild the damage – then what ISIS have so far done will be a tiny drop in the ocean of destruction. MBS – you need to sign up to UNESCO and go and Intern there for a couple of years before your country can EVER get their hands on any Rebuilding. You definitely have to send Al Turki off for a cuple of eyars to do that. In fact – I am starting to worry about what harm could come of Libya in your hands. I hate the French right now due to their involvement yet again in the Tri- Partate bombing of Syria last week, for the Zionists. But architecturally – and with regard to Heritage and making the Spaces Spiritually Enlightening – they are safer than the UK and USA and Gulf States.  UK and USA as far as I am concerned, have scuppered every single chance they have ever had in Re-Building any of the Countries they put ISIS into. 

For everyone that wants to see what I am talimg about – just follow the link. If Architecture was Psychological Warfare then the new Mecca woud win Global Prize. And nothing I think could really top in in a century. Or more.

        During my time off from facebook I decided to look at one of my favourite subjects and collect Pins for Islamic Art on one of my Pinterest accounts. I have a great love for it, throughout the centuries – Islamic Art and Architecture. I stumbled across some Artists from Saudi – some institutions in Saudi that are currently promoting Arabian Modern Artists – and I did not like what I have seen. Some of the Photography is OK, some of the paintings are sort of Dadaism – but disturbing. Monochrome. But most of it is ugly and it appears that in their haste to be “Modern” the Saudis have actually become victims of Zionism. Out of a naivety no doubt, as any rush to develop at such a fast pace is always going to pose problems. This is a subject I am getting back to after a few years – I first started to study it when first expanding my activism for Palestine to the greater conflicts of the MENA Wars – as ISIS was rampant in all the social media groups at the time.  And I discovered not only the tragic ugliness of modern Saudi Urban Design, one of the ugliest in the entire world in my opinion but the destruction of Heritage across the Levant due to Da’ish (ISIS) and connecting the dots and realising that Zionism has manipulated it all was a very fast and simple connection to make. It is, in fact, crystal clear.

Only Zionism stands to benefit from such destruction and the destruction of all that is Islamic in Mecca and Medina – giving way to Architecture designed by a British company for the site of Mecca has yet again broken my heart today looking at the scar and what has to be the ugliest monstrosity of Architecture I have seen globally. I think it will take thousands of years actually to beat it. I am also a recent Revert to Islam. And I am – like many Reverts and even Non-Muslims hungry to soak up Islamic History and Culture – and Art and Architecture – which for Centuries has been the most scientific and the most beautiful ancient architecture I have ever seen in the world.

        from Trump wants Arab States to rebuild Syria and Iraq, but what type of Spiritually killing architecture would they plan? And is this one of the reasons Trump wants UNESCO abolished? Zionist Fundamentalist eyesore of Mecca and Medina is a reason everyone needs to see before the entire Levant is destroyed along with Islam throughout the Levant.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY AMORAL COMPASS

Back from a couple of weeks from the island...I managed to avoid watching any TV news whatsoever, but of course ended up going through a daily paper to catch up up the unfolding nightmares...The easy stuff first...the greeting phrase 'Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen' is no longer acceptable to use as an address to passengers on the London Underground...because of 'belonging to yesterday' and might be construed somehow as offensive to those with sex changes and those who are undetermined as to their gender. It has been substituted with 'Good morning everyone'. Hmm. Surely after having thought long and hard (arf) about about penis removal, vaginal implants and oestrogen supplements and the male right to wear female clothes OR vice versa etc etc, one would be HAPPY to be called that which the individual truly felt themselves to be? Political correctness is a soul numbingly ridiculous conceit which will lead to total destruction of sanity and will only breed deeper mistrust and hatreds among dangerous idiots. And a sense of misplaced righteous pride among those who seek to fill their time with utterly empty causes.

If you are a bisexual woman, you are a female. If you are a masculine lesbian, you are a female, If youare a cross-dressing man, you are a male in touch with your feminine side. If you are a homosexual man who takes the more 'submissive' role, you are a gay male.Etc etc. If you are pre Op, you are the sex your heart tells you you are, male or female. If you are a human being who could take actual offence at being called a lady or a gentleman, you are a moron.Well, then again, who likes being pigeon-holed eh?Arf. Next....

Brexit will apparently cost 36 billion pounds, WELL worth it eh? We will just have to print more notes on plastic paper. Every penny helps...and at least G.B got 3.5 billion quid from selling arms to Saudi Arabia, so we will only be morally bankrupt. Britain on the hunt for more useful cheap deals includes Chlorine dioxide washed chickens from the always healthy USA. Dr Fox of our government blustered that Americans have been eating such for years and there is nothing wrong with them... Ermmmm...Hmmm...Eventually we will find that Fox ends up on the board of chicken exporters. No puns needed. It's all foul:-) (Fowl, geddit?) How much of the imported chicken is real anyway? Pumped with water and antibiotics...Mc Donalds continue to advertise that their burgers are 100percent cow. Yes...hooves, tails, entrails and eyeballs all. But at least they are being truthful eh? Let's hope the politicians in the pay of Monsanto are the first to discover their grandchildren are born with three arms. (Or more likely, they only eat the expensive foods not imported for the proletariat.)

Speaking of antibiotics... the English newspapers were full of the 'new' idea that now, perhaps, maybe, people should not finish their course of such pills when they feel better. In direct contradiction to the accepted usual doctor's warning to take the full box/es to make sure. The building of resistance is growing. Another story mentioned that the regular drinking of alcohol can stave off future diabetes...I am only just starting to think (yes I am this slow) that doctors haveno real feckin idea about some basics, even after centuries of experiments on human white mice.

Meanwhile...Wu Xialou the three foot Chinese robot now in use, which can create arrest warrants and approve indictments...'Case management robots'...love the way they almost look friendly. Not long before Robocop is a reality. And AI goes all Terminator on us.

'When people who can read and write start fighting on behalf of people who can't, you just end up with another kind of stupidity. If you want to help them, build a big library or something somewhereand leave the door open'.   T.P   

So, one more time for the world...thrill at the possibilities of existence...

www.halexandria.org/home.htm

Meanwhile again, 'various' countries continue to respond to threats they themselves created in order to justify their heinous actions. Hello to Turkey, North Korea, Russia, the USA and...well,most countries have been doing this for a while. History is full of messianic little men with complexes wanting to make their country great. Hello Nero, Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, Blair, Putin and Trump. How tall is Erdogan? Or the next guy...The Pilsbury Dough Boy/Kim Wrong Un has been rejoicing over his North Korean penis missile now being able to reach 6,200 miles. Hello America. Duck Fart's rhetoric matches Chairman Cheese's bizarre rants for rant. Little dogs like to make noise. 'Fire and fury' indeed. Yap yap yap, have them put down. (Using only sarcasm and satire of course. Wouldn't want the NSA to think I meant such admirable leaders should be shot like rabid canines. No sir.)

Referring to the situation, a spokesman for the Chinese government was quoted as saying; 'The man with nothing to lose does not fear the man with something to lose'. AKA'The barefoot man does not fear the man with no shoes'.

Donald actually referred to global warming as being a hoax invented by China. No, not fake news. Safe in a world where every president is as paranoid as the people.

POTUS/DOOFUS...arf...I saw a documentary last week which reminded me that good old boy President Nixon (a very honest guy) used to speak of himself often in the third person, just like Duck Fart continues to do. Draw your own conclusions on the wall in blood graffiti. But now, after many workplace postings of those 'absolutely qualified' to do their jobs and who, a few weeks later were sacked for following the law, or believing in their own importance more than paying obeisance to the president, the White House is now full of generals...(an 'axis of adults' as it has been described)... So, things are looking up eh? Obviously the world is far safer in the hands of those directly connected to the military industrial complex who follow the orders of a mentally unbalanced gurning egomaniac. And as for his plan to work with Russia on a 'cyber security unit'...'Not the dumbest idea I have ever heard, but it's pretty close', as a member of the Senate's armed services committee said. Yup.

Watch closely for his reactions to Russia's imminent massive wargames.... 100,000 soldiers to be in play on the Eastern side...Is this whereFinland, Estonia et al are invaded to protect the holders of Russian passports?

'There is nothing better than an external threat to keep everyone focused in the wrong direction'.

My last blog had wrong information, (aka; 'alternative facts') courtesy of Russian sources being quoted in the Western press, it seems that the Daesh death cult leader Baggy Daddy is still alive. Would have thought he was looking forward to fast track paradise but it appears that clinging to the desert like an infectious sand tick and having sex with kidnapped under aged girls is more preferable. Better luck next time says the unsmiling peace monger.

A true shame on Hindus in India for false accusations, leading to actual murder against Moslems for being rude in various ways to cows. Yes, yum yum cows. The killers have had no punishment whatsoever. Legal terms of imprisonment for killing a cow can be from 5 to 14 years (very reasonable eh?...whereas manslaughter can be 2 years. Nice to see a country who gave the world Yoga have such a balanced perspective.) The world expects this crap from other mainstream religions, not you.

Another TV reality show bites the big one...Eden. Paradise Lost...23 people (of course) agreed to be put into the Scottish highlands with the most basic tools, enough food for first 100 days. Of course they divided up fast into male/female Alphas/ Betas/Lord of the Flies factions and imploded fast into dire horribleness. If the future of our beautiful planet is to be decided/populated by those types who wantto be on television, we are absolutely fecked. Fecked is the mystery word tonight...it avoids me having to pretend to be polite and use asterisks, whilst retaining the clear meaning.  It has appeared due to me watching a great interview with Cillian Murphy.

Sherlock or Homeland,Boardwalk Empire, House of Cards, Peaky Blinders, Taboo,or Billions,better and better TV series, at last, great acting, direction and scripts, some real intelligence on television to balance the mass culture of dumbing down via the conspiracy of counter-evolution. But just maybe....

'Good and bad are fairy tales, we have evolved to attach an emotional significance to what is nothing more than the survival strategy of the pack animal'. We are conditioned to attach divinity to utility... good isn't really good, evil isn't really wrong...'The Holmes sister...

And now a long quote by a dead American genius, circa 1982.

‘’People are just not accustomed to excellence because, when you go to school you are not given the criteria by which to judge between quality this or quality that. All they do is teach you just enough to be some kind of a slug in a factory, to do your job so you can take home a pay check, and consume some other stuff that someone else makes.  The thing that separates Americans apart from the rest of the cultures in the world is we're so fukcing stupid. This country's been around for a couple hundred years and we think we're hot shit...we don't even realise that other countries have thousands of years of history and culture and they're proud of it, and when we deal on an international level with foreigners in policy...they must laugh up their sleeves at us because we are nothing. We are culturally nothing. We're only interested in the bottom line. And I think that a country that doesn't do something to sustain its culture, whatever it is, doesn't invest in it, doesn't keep it happening, isn't proud of it,maybe they just shouldn't exist, because its the culture and the beautiful things a society produces, those are the things which should survive for thousands of years, not the designer jeans.’’

Something almost normal, (for a change)...In the last blog I wrote that magpies sound like Edgard Varese...having spent a couple of weeks doing gardening in England, I will alter to that 'they sound exactly like a wire rake being scraped across concrete'. Check it out after you have spent an hour cutting down a ten foot hedge......

'the main object of the ego's desire to separate from the wave is to avoid death'

Walking around the streets and watching, sitting at home catching up on the newspapers...If Britain ever has to fight a war with soldiery again, we are surely doomed. There is a hollow which has been created in my country in the last few decades, an energy lost. Teach Bravery, Morality and determination at schools. The mass are hypnotised and malleable. Perhaps the freezing shower of Brexit will result in some type of revolution but we have undermined ourselves and are naked, wide open and powerless to be taken total advantage of...by both our former allies as well as our genuine enemies.

Getting closer to the future of serotonin, noradrenalin and dopamine in newborns to determine their predilection to becoming criminals/ rebels/ sociopaths/ musicians etc.  By 2023 don't be surprised if your baby is taken away for longer than normal and injected with extra balanced goodness at the same time as being implanted. A brave new world, right around the corner...Mind you (arf) most of us could do with more serotonin, might just make us evolve into better human beings...Speaking of which/witch....

Have fun, you astral kids...23 skiddoo and all hail Discordia....

How am I? Thank you for asking...I now have a new health problem to go with the six others...at some point all of them will make themselves felt at the same time as a new depression and I will do the holy deed (not a joke or a cry for help, just calmly factual) but not just yet. 37 songs recorded so far in 12 five hour sessions...I have decided on one more session of recording to finish the two double cds, plus an extra cd of strange things and am doing the next book while there is 'time'. Apparently, I am a 'romanticist' and 'libertarian'. Loved the way the first epithet was used in a very negative way by a religious pragmatist.I am just optimistic enough to believe that human entropy can be avoided...the pessimist occasionally wonders if extinction is also a type of evolution. Dancers on a postcard to the unusual address...Deliver us from evil, for WE are the power and the glory.

'I remember when all this will be again'.

Lucid Dreaming in the Sky with ....Maybe a lover losing control, maybe the moonlight of alcohol. Maybe the temple of a mystic cabal, maybe the muse of a young femme fatale..

.Holy days over...time to go back to school...bunk off and self educate...it never did me no harm eh? See you after the autumnal equinox...Love. Love more.

I sense that we are being swept up in a fanatical spiral of knee-jerk like reactions following the tragic events last week Québec City.  The cold-blooded murder of any human being is despicable.

Today I believe that it is appropriate to look carefully at the underlying events.  I do not like the idea of tossing caution to the wind and marching like a parade of lemmings to a precipice.  It  defies logic.  None of it will bring back the lives of the six dead nor move us any closer to understanding why such things happen.  In fact, much of what I am observing (making islamaphobia a crime and throwing Canadian immigration doors wide open) will only polarize and divide.

The notion that simply criticizing any (or all) religions is a crime is beyond insanity.

I get it that we all feel very badly about what took place in Quebec City, but let’s not go overboard.  We have many rights that are available to all of us living here in Canada. However, no right exists that require that we all agree with each other or that someone might say something that you or I disagree with. There are already laws in place that deal with “hate crimes”.  It absolutely “boggles” the mind to think that muslims need their own special law. This type of impulsive reaction is simply retarded thinking and can only feed divisiveness. What’s next?

  Canadians are good decent people. We don’t need to be told about our inherent generosity by Prime Minister Trudeau or any other elected politician. In truth, if our elected officials did even a portion of the charitable work done by ordinary Canadians, Canada would be a far better place today.

  Over the span of one week, the present government has, in fact blatantly displayed the very prejudice that it seeks to impose by inflaming outrage towards lawful actions of the present US government. Let’s just get a few facts straight.

  Events in Turkey and France

  Yesterday the Turkish government rounded up over 440 suspected Islamist terrorists. Although Turkey is a secular state, it is a nation made up predominantly of Muslims.

In addition, in Paris France a 29-year-old Egyptian has been arrested for the vicious machete attack at the Louvre.

Let’s keep things in perspective. Having charitable feelings is a noble virtue. Being foolhardy on the other hand is not excusable.

We are looking at a worldwide movement the likes of which has never been known. To put the facts straight, the Executive Order signed recently by the US president is simply a temporary order that has a 90 day lifecycle. It proposes to put in place a travel embargo on anyone, regardless of religion attempting to enter the United States and one of seven countries.

  It is just plain dishonest misrepresent the US travel embargo as a” ban on Muslims”. Indeed if that were the case, a much wider embargo would have included known trouble spots such as Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Both of those nations are almost entirely Muslim and were not included on Pres. Trump’s Executive Order.

  This embargo makes no differentiation nor does it show favoritism for potential travelers of any faith attempting to enter the United States from any one of these seven countries. At least if you are going to protest something, get your facts straight before engaging in public demonstrations that only demonstrate one’s own lack of knowledge of world events.

  The Muslim Brotherhood

The Muslim brotherhood was founded in Egypt in 1928. Better organization, since its inception has been identified as a terrorist organization here in Canada as well as in the United States and several other democratic countries.

  Osama bin Laden as well as the heads of Al Qaeda and numerous other terrorist insurgent groups belong to the Muslim brotherhood. This is an extremely dangerous and insidious terrorist network. Among its followers, authorities have identified several key people involved in the mass murder of over 3000 Americans in New York City on 9/11.

  I strongly recommend that prior to making protest signs and engaging in mass protests, that at the very least aspiring social justice warriors busy themselves and grasp a firm understanding of the difference between good and evil as well as the differences between something that attempts to pass itself off as a religion instead of what it really is; a political intent on total and complete subjugation of nonbelievers with a fanatical goal in mind to create a worldwide caliphate.

  There is plenty of information available on the Internet about the Muslim brotherhood, its origins and its goals. In 1928 on formation organization crafted a manifesto known as the 100 Year Plan. That plan set as its goal complete subjugation of the world wherein an international caliphate would be established. Among its plans are worldwide dominance achieved by infiltration as well as terrorist activities.

  I would respectfully suggest that if you have a serious objection to the United States Executive Order implementing a temporary embargo, that you immediately begin leaving your keys in your car and refraining from locking your doors at home. Innocent stupidity is an easy victim for evil.

  What we are witnessing on city streets in Canada and in the United States is not only stupid in that it shows lack of understanding, but is contrary to the very things that we as Canadians cherish most.

  Let’s begin by refraining from calling this embargo a “muslim ban” as it certainly is not. If, indeed it was a “ban on Muslims” it clearly would have included Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.  After all, Osama Bin Laden was born in Saudi Arabia and was finally terminated in Pakistan where he had lived for the last five years of his terrible existence.

Moreover, it is high time that peace loving Muslims in Canada and in the United States begin to speak out against terrorism as well as Islamist organizations such as the Muslim brotherhood, Al Qaeda and ISIS.

A very wise man of peace (Gandhi) is credited with saying “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”

I suggest that Anishanabe social teachings apply in all of this. In each of us two wolves exist. The dark wolf represents evil and the white wolf represents goodness.  Whichever wolf thrives in each of us is determined by which wolf we choose to feed.

This type of racial or religious opportunism (marches, open borders and special laws designating one religion) does nothing for Canada and only feeds the darkest of wolves.

A Muslim Travel Ban? Probably not I sense that we are being swept up in a fanatical spiral of knee-jerk like reactions following the tragic events last week Québec City. 

[beyondvisualgeopolitic]

Trump wants Arab States to rebuild Syria and Iraq, but what type of Spiritually killing architecture would they plan? And is this one of the reasons Trump wants UNESCO abolished? Zionist Fundamentalist eyesore of Mecca and Medina is a reason everyone needs to see before the entire Levant is destroyed along with Islam throughout the Levant.

During my time off from facebook I decided to look at one of my favourite subjects and collect Pins for Islamic Art on one of my Pinterest accounts. I have a great love for it, throughout the centuries – Islamic Art and Architecture. I stumbled across some Artists from Saudi – some institutions in Saudi that are currently promoting Arabian Modern Artists – and I did not like what I have seen. Some of the Photography is OK, some of the paintings are sort of Dadaism – but disturbing. Monochrome. But most of it is ugly and it appears that in their haste to be “Modern” the Saudis have actually become victims of Zionism. Out of a naivety no doubt, as any rush to develop at such a fast pace is always going to pose problems. This is a subject I am getting back to after a few years – I first started to study it when first expanding my activism for Palestine to the greater conflicts of the MENA Wars – as ISIS was rampant in all the social media groups at the time.  And I discovered not only the tragic ugliness of modern Saudi Urban Design, one of the ugliest in the entire world in my opinion but the destruction of Heritage across the Levant due to Da’ish (ISIS) and connecting the dots and realising that Zionism has manipulated it all was a very fast and simple connection to make. It is, in fact, crystal clear.

Only Zionism stands to benefit from such destruction and the destruction of all that is Islamic in Mecca and Medina – giving way to Architecture designed by a British company for the site of Mecca has yet again broken my heart today looking at the scar and what has to be the ugliest monstrosity of Architecture I have seen globally. I think it will take thousands of years actually to beat it. I am also a recent Revert to Islam. And I am – like many Reverts and even Non-Muslims hungry to soak up Islamic History and Culture – and Art and Architecture – which for Centuries has been the most scientific and the most beautiful ancient architecture I have ever seen in the world. It is breathtakingly beautiful, from a simple Moroccan tile, to the great Mosques stretching from the Levant to the other side of Asia. From the Calligraphy, old and new, to the modern art. Most of which is so absolutely breathtaking, I wish I was 17 again. Because to plan a life and career in order to travel and see most of it would be a life spent in such beauty and awe and amazement – it would lift the soul, lighten and brighten and spiritually bring one as close to heaven as it is possible to get on this earth. And that is not said because I am a recent Revert, I thought the same about Islamic Art and Architecture decades ago. When the concept of Reverting would have been something I would never consider.

I am an artist. I have an Education in Art. I also have an Education in Spatial Design. Colour and Form. Architectural Design. So I am not one of these people who is just taking aim at the Modern Art and Architecture in Saudi and shooting it down as the ugliest and most soul destroying thing this planet has seen in a thousand years and more for the sake of just insulting it – I happen to have an educated opinion.

We – as humans are directly affected emotionally by our surroundings. It is why, in most of the West, Interior Design is such a great movement. From the Professional Designer to the man and woman on the street – we all like to relax in spaces that make us feel better. And there is a science to it. A proven science behind it.

Colour – each colour emits a light wave more powerful than a microwave. And each colour directly affects our mood and emotions. Some colours can even be used as torture. Blood red, for example, is used sparingly in nature and always surrounded by plenty of greens and blues. A poppy growing in a field is a bright and jolly thing, but if the entire field was the colour of the red poppy without a break and no other colour, you would not be able to look at it. Physically – your eyes would involuntarily move away, and you would start to get stabbing pains in your brain and central nervous system. It is why Surgeons are protected and able to rest their eyes in theatre while operating – the gowns, the walls, indeed the drapes covering the patient are all in a specific colour of green – the exact opposite of the blood red on the colour spectrum, to rest the eyes and absorb the colour wave of the blood red. Enabling them to focus on the job at hand without any involuntary eye movements and without any discomfort or loss of common sense throughout their central nervous systems. Other colours can literally produce Joy – they cause the brain to start producing positive hormones. The yellows the yellow ochre, the orange colours. Other colours are good for Therapy. It is advised if you are suffering from emotional stress or from bereavement to paint your walls in a room of your house a shade of violet – it actually absorbs the negative emotions and soothes your emotions. In a very powerful way.

A similar effect is caused by what we term as Designers by “Form” – or the shape of objects and rooms and spaces. As with colour – our brains are pre-programmed over thousands and millions of years to react to certain colours – blood red, the red of a poisonous berry, there is nothing we can do to re-program our brains. Our Central Nervous Systems are going to react. Bright yellow and black stripes – the colours of a stinging Wasp or Hornet – in nature you do not see those colours or patterns in many places or on many objects. Most people, when shown the two colours together striped like that will think of a Wasp – and get stung. So there is a central nervous system reaction. Similarly – the shape of everything has just a monumentous effect on us. Sharp objects will repel. Round curves will appeal. In a large public foyer of a public building, it is poosible to create a very large space, with no interior corridors or partitioning and make crowds of thousands of people walk the way you want them to walk as a Designer simply by using Colour and Form. If you want all the people to turn left as they enter a building, you don’t have to put a barrier to stop them from turning right. You just adapt the shape on the left and the right and add some colour and or form which repels slightly the way you don’t want them to walk,  and everyone who enters the building will walk the way you want them to walk. This can bee seen in airports for example. And most commonly in Supermarkets and Super Stores, where every isle and every bit of colour is used to make you walk a certain way and stop and look at things you don’t want to buy, and buy them.

It is subliminal. Totally and it is being used in ways and to levels that the vast majority of humans are completely unaware of. And who can say that a Supermarket Foodstore is an attractive place – an attractive space you’d love to spend all your time in in the West? If you were put in the exact same Space but with nothing in there for sale – just as objects, you’d want to get out. It’s as simple as that.

Humans have been designing for thousands and thousands of years. And Design and Architecture has evolved, simply because humans feel comfortable and pleased in a Space – so that type of Space has become more prolific. And in fact, when you study it very deeply on cause and effect when it comes to emotional benefit – the best Designer by a million times is Nature. And the proof of that can be seen these days by the Scientific Researched Proof that a great medication for Stress, in fact, one of the best of all – is nature and getting out in it. Or just by looking at Photography of it. Not as good as being out in it for real, but some images will do a great job of a short fix if you can’t go on a nature ramble instantly you feel stressed.

This type of Design, Colour and Form is used in the Design of Hospitals – Schools and Public buildings,  it’s used everywhere in the West and the Mechanics of it have been known for a long, long, long time. So knowing all of this – before even without bringing into the equation – the destruction of Heritage and History in Saudi Arabia in their Modernisation Program – the Destrcution of Islam in fact and everything related to it, let’s just focus on the actual “Colour and Form”. And we are going to start with the “Form” – the shape of things. And the effect that it has on you when you look at it. And for that, we shall use a Saudi Photographer who has been documenting the changes. The images are much more recent and the structure is a lot more finished than when I last focused on this a few years ago in 2015/15. And the effect on me when looking at it – well, I wouldn’t to go there. And I am a recent Revert, so one day if I can I should go there. But for the effect the “Form’ will have on my emotional wellbeing, I will be dreading going. And I will be packing some things in my bag to focus on, so I don’t have to look at it. And to concentrate on why I am really there if I ever get there, will be really difficult. Because my Central Nervous System will be overwhelmed with the Ugly affect. It’s as if the beast itself has scarred the landscape. And everything I had ever imagined, the soothing sand colours, punctuated with souks and stalls selling the purest wares on sale, from perfumes to spices to calligraphy and all things one woruld expect – has been replaced with a Beast that is enveloping a Scar. A Beast so big over a Scar so huge, there is nothing left of anything else. Nothing. It must be overwhelming to finally get to the Kaaba and see it is actually there. Stood defiantly in the middle of the ugliest Beast over lording the Ugliest Scar in the entire World.

This plan to shove the Arab States into the Levant to redesign it started with Da’ish (ISIS) you thought – well you thought wrong. This Plan to abolish the Beauty, Light and Peace of Islam started when the British started planning it all. It started before 2002. And in my opinion, it was deliberate. The entire Design of Mecca is designed to be an “Experience” – one to Pre Program every Muslim who goes there so when they leave they are “Disturbed”. In fact – in my opinion, if anyone was asked to design Architecture that could spiritually and emotionally “Disturb” a human more, then the Architecture and Design of the New Mecca could not be better at that. It’s like a giant Multi Storey Carpark built in 1960 – one that requires a Demolition Order on it. Most of this type of Architecture in the UK – though none of it quite so ugly – has either been destroyed and blown up or is synonymous with the worst parts of cities and towns. And by the design of this – once you get there – there is no escape from it. It remonds me of a Freak Show at a Theme Park – an indoor Roller Coaster that has freaky things in it to make you scream and feel uplifted when yo finally come out, something you pay to go on to upset yourself and feel thankful you live in a world where that isn’t real. With Mecca – you are trapped inside this monstrosity until you can get out. When you can walk round the full circuit and leave. I don’t want to go there. Ever. And for the first time EVER – having listened to many Muslims from many Countries state on social media that for them, to be near God no longer requires them to visit Mecca – I understand them, and I agree. I’d rather look at a picture of what it used to be, and I’d rather time travel in my mind, back to a time before this epic and total abhorrence was built. I don’t blame the Saudis though, I blame the UK, as it was a British Architect that designed it. And it was US Contractors that built it. I blame Saudi only for not insisting that one of their own Architects was not employed to have overall control of the Design.

Saudi – you could vastly improve it by changing the colours. The colours and the lighting. And you could vastly improve it in a lot of ways. And I suggest you start employing some people that know how to do that immediately. But there is absolutely NO WAY that anything other than your money should EVER go into the Levant for Re Building – and if you drag your British EVIL Allies into it with you – or those EVIL American destroyers, well, expect World War Three and the entire Muslim World turning on you in ways you have not yet experienced. And MBS – with the sense of humour in your Time Magazine Article – you grew up in this Modern MONSTROSITY – what difference would you know? You want Sunni Islam to dominate the Shia of Iran and Persia. I suggest STRONGLY that you start traveling. And that you go to Iran and some of the Asian Islamic Countries – and that you stay off your Super Yacht and you stay OUT of expensive Hotels. And that you start experiencing what the landscape of ancient Cultures can do for lightening and brightening. Because I have taken a trek through the so-called Art of Saudi – and the so-called Design of Saudi from your most esteemed institutions, and I have not seen a thing of beauty except some Portraiture Photography. Faces. Old people’s faces. That is literally the ONLY thing of beauty I have seen, in hours and hours of trawling through your so-called Cultural and Art Institutions and your so-called Art. There are no words to describe it. It’s not Fundamentalist. It is – it’s Fundamentalist. But it is also totally fucked up. But then it is hardly surprising really is it – there is nothing beautiful or lightening or brightening surrounding any of you over there to evoke any superb art. So the only work any of you  can create is DARKENING.

Gulf States have destroyed the Levant with Da’ish (ISIS) – but if Trump gets his way and Saudi wades in with the British and Americans to Rebuild the damage – then what ISIS have so far done will be a tiny drop in the ocean of destruction. MBS – you need to sign up to UNESCO and go and Intern there for a couple of years before your country can EVER get their hands on any Rebuilding. You definitely have to send Al Turki off for a cuple of eyars to do that. In fact – I am starting to worry about what harm could come of Libya in your hands. I hate the French right now due to their involvement yet again in the Tri- Partate bombing of Syria last week, for the Zionists. But architecturally – and with regard to Heritage and making the Spaces Spiritually Enlightening – they are safer than the UK and USA and Gulf States.  UK and USA as far as I am concerned, have scuppered every single chance they have ever had in Re-Building any of the Countries they put ISIS into. 

For everyone that wants to see what I am talimg about – just follow the link. If Architecture was Psychological Warfare then the new Mecca woud win Global Prize. And nothing I think could really top in in a century. Or more.

        from Trump wants Arab States to rebuild Syria and Iraq, but what type of Spiritually killing architecture would they plan? And is this one of the reasons Trump wants UNESCO abolished? Zionist Fundamentalist eyesore of Mecca and Medina is a reason everyone needs to see before the entire Levant is destroyed along with Islam throughout the Levant.
