Seeing Is Believing

Now that some of the dust has settled on the Michael Jackson funeral, some 'strange' stories have started circulating about the parentage of his 'children'. These tales are alleging that in fact Jacko actually had no genetic input (aka sperm), involved in the process of creating these children.

A number of non african males, have come forward to claim the 'honour' as the sperm donor for Jacko, and the white mother he chose to bear 'his' children. This despite the fact that some of his fans allege Jacko had one illegitimate child Omer Bhatti (at least according to this video), even though this has been denied by him.

This is all very odd for a "Black Icon" and model for all "Afro Americans" ..... are the people who are still lauding him for his 'blackness', not even slightly embarrassed that this black icon apparently so longed to be 'white', that he not only allegedly spent millions on skin whitening, and facial operations, but that he also used a white female Debbe Rowe (Dr Kleins one time nursing assistant), and allegedly white male sperm to ensure that his "children" where really (genetically) white.

Before he allegedly changed his appearance he looked like this ......

 Now I know that genetics may not be big in the Jackson family, but even they must find it strange that all his 'children' are very 'Caucasian' looking and not even brown (apart from the last one 'Blanket' who looks a bit Hispanic).

Jackson's Caucasian Looking Children

Nor do they look much like any of the Jackson family ..... apart from La Toya Jackson who seems to have followed her brothers strange path as well.

Now I know that Wacko's friends and fans are completely blind to his faults, and make up little stories to explain his behaviour towards young male adults .....

....... or his physical changes, but seeing is believing, and its hard to deny the obvious when its put in front of your eyes ...... however I suspect it will take DNA evidence to shake the belief of the true believers.

Edinburgh Fringe Pilgrimage

Once again, me and my mate 'Big Kenny' embarked on a tour of the Edinburgh Comedy Fringe. We do this most years and usually take in eight or so, comedy shows.

This year we saw the following shows in the venues listed.

1. Abracadabra - German Humour Goes Global @ Underbelly's Hullabaloo in The Bosco at Hullabaloo
2. Monsieur Montpellier: Entertainer Extraordinaire! @ Pleasance Dome in Joker Dome
3. The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) @ Just the Tonic @ The Caves in Caves 1
4. Bamboozlement! @ Gilded Balloon Teviot in Balcony
5. Puppet Grinder Cabaret @ Assembly @ George Street in West Drawing Room
6. Russell Kane's Fakespeare: The Tragickal Saveings of King Nigel @ Pleasance Courtyard in Cellar
7. Randy's Postcards from Purgatory @ Underbelly in Iron Belly
8. Bourgeois & Maurice - Social Work @ Pleasance Courtyard in Over The Road 2

They ranged from the mildly amusing or bland .... Monsieur Montpellier and Bamboozlement! Through to the strange ..... Abracadabra. \To the energetic ..... The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (which was a version of the very long running Reduced Shakespeare Company production)and then to the  genuinely funny.....Puppet Grinder Cabaret, and Randy's Postcards from Purgatory.
But the two star selections were

• Russell Kane's Fakespeare: The Tragickal Saveings of King Nigel which was clever, funny and well performed by two talented comedians Russell Kane and Sadie Hasler.

and the winner

• Bourgeois & Maurice - Social Work. Who almost defy description, but I guess Rocky Horror meets Cabaret (kinda) is the best I can describe it. They were Fabulous! Real Stars and talents ....

And if you want to know what they are like then go to their site and look at some photo's, or better still listen to some tracks .... go on, you know your curious!

"A Perfect Storm"

This blog has frequently pointed to the confluence of events that may well precipitate profound changes in the human races existence on the planet, and even life itself ..... we have predicted 2050 AD as the moment of the disasters but more and more evidence suggests that there will be a major problem around 2030 AD which we have discussed. This week, the March predictions of UK chief scientist John Beddington, which described what he called a "A Perfect Storm" of food, energy and water shortages, unless the world changes its ways, arising as early as 2030 AD, have made the main news again, with some discussion on what to do. This is all population driven, and yet even now we talk around this subject, because too many on the 'PC Left' consider it "Racist" to suggest that the Middle East, Asia and Africa need to curb their population growth now. This is doubly so, because so many of these left wingers have a vested employment interests in the work of charities, NGO's and Inter governmental agencies which promote more, not less children in the Third World, but with no attempt to curb the birth rates.

In the Middle East, no attempt has ever been made to cut birth rates of 10 or more children, especially amongst the poor and ill educated. There are several populations with very high population growth rates, such as those of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt, or the United Arab Emirates. Its been pointed out that Iran is a notable exception to the regional trends.

In the sub continent, only Mrs Indira Gandhi ever tried any forceful birth control measures (and she was assassinated). Despite some evidence that birth rates are falling in India, it appears that she is still likely to overtake China in population levels by 2050 AD.

Pakistan is on a track of mass population growth (which should worry the UK), and is expected to go through the roof. In 1950 Pakistan had a population of about 40 million people. Since then it has more than tripled and stood at 136 million in 1995. But because the country not only has a very young population, but also still an extremely high fertility rate (much higher, for instance, than in Bangladesh or Thailand), its predicted that Pakistan's population will be about 357 million by 2050 AD.

The Chinese have practised a one child policy for decades (with some success), but recently they have relaxed it to two children to stabilise the population and to get rid of the male orientated population that the one child policy produced.

Sub Saharan Africa has no birth rate policies, and Nigeria is predicted to have grown from a population in 1950 of about 33 million to about 112 million now. The UN predicts that between 1995 and the year 2050 the country's population will probably triple again and reach almost 339 million ..... a ten fold increase in less than a century.

By 2050 AD a much bigger share of the world population will live in Africa South of the Sahara. In only some 50 years Western Africa, for instance, will have the same population as all of Europe. Eastern Africa will have many more people than all the countries of South America, the Caribbean and Oceania combined.

So we face an unprecedented population explosion, and no resources to feed them .... the US survivalists may be on to something.

Last of the Kennedy's

Senator Edward Kennedy died this week ..... not many in the UK mourned him, despite his being given an honorary knighthood by the current bunch of left wing cretins who run the UK.

In the US, he appears to have won over a certain section of the US population, despite the fact that he had more character flaws and cracks than an old plate. In the UK, he and his family are chiefly remembered as IRA supporters, who largely detested Britain.

His only real point of interest to this blog is that he is the last surviving male progeny of the father, Joseph P Kennedy, who was alleged to have made his fortune during the prohibition era, as well as being a profound Anti Semite and admirer of Adolf Hitler .........

Ironically, if an Italian descent family had show a similar background for their family fortune, they would likely have been under FBI surveillance and arrested .....

Nothing So Desperate As A Labour Politician

Labour MP Kerry McCarthy has been given the job of improving the party's use of social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook ahead of the next election.

She is being called the 'Twitter Tsar'

Twitter twitter little Tsar,

How I wonder who you are.

High and low the Spin you fling,

But not a vote will it bring in.

It's a sad time to be a marginal Labour MP, with less than a year to unemployment.
