Hooray - Queen's birthday!

When I had my arvo stroll around the hood, I noticed that plenty of places didn't open on this public holiday. The secular Australian 24/7 society takes a break, at least for Easter (the pagan fertility festival), Christmas (the Sun god worshipping time) and for the Queen's birthday.

Coming from a society that abolished any special treatment for the ancestors of ruthless murderers, suppressors and thieves, also euphemistically called aristocracy, about 90 years ago, this public holiday seems more than bizarre to me.

Although Australia claims to be a democracy, there's no public holiday for the birthday of democracy (Please don't mistake the Invasion Day celebration for something like this). Democracy has just reached a fetal state on this planet, threatened by various attempt to abort this promising child, mainly by massively intoxicating its 'mother', society, so a public holiday to celebrate democracy would be indeed premature.

The principle of aristocracy cannot be found in nature, even though biologists use terms like 'queen bee' and the like, to rationalise and glorify the parasitic existence of aristocrats.

The 'queen' of a beehive, however, does not own everything, nor can it withdraw itself from its life giving role or arbitrarily make rules. The queen bee is nothing else but a breeding machine, fulfilling a specific role in this insect society. The queen bee's offspring is nothing special, and any of the queen's 'children' is capable of founding a new hive. Discriminating aristocrats and commoners makes absolutely no sense, the structure of a beehive requires specialisation, somebody's gotta do the job of a breeding machine.

The queen's offspring has to become workers and soldiers, there are no commoners that can be exploited to do the nasty jobs. I don't know if giving birth is as laborous for bees as it is for humans, but in my point of view there's nothing glorious about permanently giving birth (or any other specialised role in a bee society).

Bee hives have some democratic mechanism, making decision based on majorities to decide how to assign resources most efficiently for the entire hive. The bee dance works like a referendum, and the bees as species survived easily doing this on a daily basis, instead of trusting one of them that managed to have a lucky shot once.

The language we use, however, influences our thoughts and behaviour. From a evolutionary point of view, nothing distinguishes a member of the royal family from those 25,000 human being that starve daily. We all belong to the species of human beings, with differing local environments that determine the likelyness of individual life expectancy.

The macro environment of our species supports even more human beings than currently inhabit this planet, yet the viral ideas of ownership, hierarchy and nations systematically penalise thousands of us for crawling out of the 'wrong' womb.

Aristocracy acts more like tapeworm - feeding of the host (society) and making it sick in the process. No reasonable human being would celebrate the day when a tapeworm nested in its guts, yet anyone affected would cherish the day when the cure arrives.

The term democracy has degenerated to a mere unspeak term, bereft of its ideas of freedom, equity and fairness. To call Western societies at the start of the 21. century 'democracy' is as suitable as claiming Hitler engaged in population control (which is something Bilderberg founder Prince Berhard, a former Reiter-SS member, might have said...).

I don't mind having public holidays. And I would certainly celebrate the day when the Buckingham palace is no longer inherited by some parasites, and the unjustly accumulated resources get redistributed to the human species. There will be no need to kill aristocrats, just disown them and put them on the dole.

Officially, European monarchs have no longer political influence. Yet, the Dutch and the Spanish queen, a Dutch and a Belgian prince attended this years prime parasite meeting, the Bilderberg conference. But as the official political circus has only minimal influence on the distribution of resources in comparison to corporations, they still rule by proxy.

So for me, celebrating the Queen's birthday in Australia, just indicates that 'democracy' still awaits its birth on this planet.

When I returned from a leisurely late sunday noon breakfast, enjoying the warmth of the sun on my way back home, I saw something strange in the sky. Besides some typical cumulus clouds, some thin, hazy layers of something hung in the sky.

One patch looked especially strange, spread out in an oval shape, dispersing the colours of a rainbow on its edges. I thought at first that my sunnies produced this effect, and stared for some minutes in disbelieve skywards, and then got into my unit to get my camera.

The colours at the edge of the milky patch lost a bit in intensity, and I could only hope that a picture taking against the sun would show a bit of this weird effect.



As the sun hid a bit behind parts of this funny stuff, the shots turned out better than I thought. The small versions here in the blog make it difficult to spot the details, and after various compressions the quality degenerates a bit. However, you can check the full resolution image as well, especially if you have an idea how this strange phenomenon occured.



Hearing stories about chemtrails can make you a bit paranoid... personally, I don't like the idea that someone (eg the US government) systematically pollutes our sky with some wild mixture of chemical and biological agents. Yet, governments started already 50 years ago experimenting with their population, and surely wouldn't brag about this.

Keep your eyes open, and enjoy the sun and blue skies whenever you can. Maybe take some photos of strange phenomena at the sky and try asking your political representatives for explanations.
