Trust the Shark Fisherman of Wales to throw shade upon the Festive Season but if you think that Islamic State have gone away then think again. They are re-thinking, re-grouping and getting ready for another series of attacks against the fat underbelly of the West. 'Our' Security may be better now, we may be more alert and vigilant BUT they have suceeded in what they set out to do and that was to unnerve us, shake us up a bit. You can't tell me that the 'gillets jeunes' protests in France are not a manifestation of the brutality meted out to an 'innocent' population under the tenure of Francois Hollande by Islamic State. Petty Criminals, many of them languishing in the lower strata of French Society inspired by a couple of martyrdom videos on You Tube, then shit or bust. They had nothing to lose but their lives. The black flags may have been beaten back in the northern fields of Iraq but the philosophy and mindset lingers on. This blood letting on the European Continent seems to have emboldened individual citizens to protest and to protest violently. They can only attack what they see as the stranglehold on their lives and livelihoods and that is the Neo-Liberal puppet government of Emmanuel Macron who came in and thought this was going to be a breeze. For every action, there is a reaction. The 'gilets jeunes' are manifesting a national and psychic grief. People are sick to the back teeth and unlike in 'Stiff Upper Lip Old Blighty' where we internalise every anger and frustration which then manifests in mental illness, the French get out there and give it large! The anniversary of the Bataclan massacre appeared to pass by with little mention. How could something like that happen on your manor and it NOT upset the cultural and social dynamic of the city and the country? Islamic State will continue to fight their guerrilla war and will sacrifice the petty criminals who they hope will wreak maximum damage in their 'acting out' for the prophet. My theory for what its worth (and instead of boring a glass eye to sleep in the pub I hope that I am lighting a fire in your third eye) is that IS are intent on a 'Divide & Conquer' strategy. They are hoping and praying that the Far Right become strong again in Europe and then they will take on the Left and each will cancel eachother out like the Spanish Civil War but across the whole landmass this time and then IS come in and mop up what is left. Well they don't come in because they are here already. These seemingly arbitrary stabbings and killings are a mere side show for the shit storm that awaits us. The Psychic Rubicon has been crossed. Some very strange behaviour and extreme insanities will become manifest until a mutual respect has been reached.We should really en masse be 'psychically' preparing for it but no we are going through the 'faux Christian charade of Christmas for the children again this year'. A strange thing to say and an insult to those whose families who have lost their loved ones in these now countless atrocities but in decades to come, philosophers and politicians and religious wise men (if that is not an oxy-moron) MIGHT agree that the 'troubles' of the early half of the 21st Century were the birthing pains for a lasting peace. Then came the next ice age and we became extinct.
