Wake Up Dorothy... Wake Up!
In case you missed it... where were you, on Mars....? World War 'Z' is... well... all of the below...including my previous posts... and then some... Synchronistic much!
The Latin-script letter Z (Russian: зет) is one of several symbols painted on military vehicles of the Russian Armed Forces involved in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, speculated to help task forces distinguish themselves from other allied or enemy forces.
As a pro-war symbol, the "Z" has been used by the Russian government as a propaganda tool, and by Russian civilians as a sign of support for the invasion. Outside Russia, the government of the Czech Republic has classified the "Z" symbol as an equivalent to the swastika, and Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan laws prohibit publicly displaying the "Z" symbol on vehicles."

'Zorba the Greek' - who died, yet lived! The Mandela Effect, Afghanistan & the death of Mikis Theodorakis
 |
| RIP Mikis - 29 July 1925 – 2 September 2021 |

http://thesignificanceofr.blogspot.com/2018/01/phil-collins-rides-mandela-wave.html
I'll give a brief universally agreed upon and accepted explanation here:
"Dubbed The Mandela effect, it is a phenomenon in which a person or a group of people have false or distorted memories. Some believe that the effect is proof of alternate realities, while others blame it on the fallibility of human memory.
In 2010, this shared false memory phenomenon was dubbed "the Mandela effect" by self-described "paranormal consultant" Fiona Broome, in reference to her false memory of the death of South African anti-Apartheid leader Nelson Mandela in prison in the 1980s (he actually died age 95 in 2013, after having served as President of South Africa following his release from prison).
Today we hear of the sad passing of Mikis Theodorakis (96) ...
"Greek songwriter, composer, author and politician born in Chios on July 29, 1925, and died in Athens on September 2, 2021. He wrote over 1,000 songs including the music for the Michael Cacoyiannis film 'Zorba the Greek' (1964). The instrumental 'Zorba's Dance' (also known as 'Zorba the Greek') became renowned around the world. He also scored the films 'Z' (1969, BAFTA Film Award in 1970) and 'Serpico' (1973). He composed the "Mauthausen Trilogy" also known as "The Ballad of Mauthausen", which has been described as the "most beautiful musical work ever written about the Holocaust".

| 'Z' (1969) |
Being from Greek heritage, I can tell you that 'Theodorakis' and his music, not to mention his political involvements, have always been a topic of conversation, commemoration, or contention in our house, depending on the season, or which film or TV program happened to be on. So much so that, after today's sad news, family have been struck dumbfounded, trying to make sense of his death. Attempting to process through a sort of collective brain fog that this has caused. Everyone swearing blind that poor Mikis died back in 2010! THIS is the Mandela Effect in all its glory.
Searching the web for some kind of validation that Theodorakis died years ago, and this is all a bit of a psychological attack by some weird entertainment/anti-Christ force of darkness. I soon discover that he has been alive all these years. According to the 'Greek City Times', he survived a heart attack back in August 2018. Could that have been the year when I thought he died? I'm sure he passed earlier than that. Later I discover a news report from June, 2017...
"Rare moments with one of the few Great Greeks still alive. An exceptional concert. One thousand voices for Mikis Theodorakis. Choirs from thirty cities and thousands of people gathered in Panathenaic Stadium in Athens to pay tribute to the great composer." Reported the entertainment website, 'Keep Talking Greece' . So he WAS still alive?
In March 2017 I discover that the Rialto Theatre in Cyprus held a concert about 'Theodorakis and his music' ... he wasn't there... Okay, now wait a minute... He wasn't there? Ah ha... then I located a tribute concert held in June, 2016... again, he wasn't there! Hold your horses... then comes a report from May, 2015 which unfortunately sealed the deal...
"Turkish Cypriot daily Afrika newspaper (13.05.15) citing information writes that the famous Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis wants to come to Cyprus and hold a meeting with the new Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci."
It is so odd that we are thinking he died years ago. Perhaps all those 'tribute concerts' have stamped into our collective unconscious the idea that he was dead.. because you're always doing tributes to old dead composers, right?
Sorry Mikis!
Now there is another strange side-angle to this whole 'Mandela Effect', more synchronicity than broken memories. A weird connection between Greek music and Afghanistan, I kid you not!
It's the anniversary of 9/11 this coming week, and like others I recall where I was and what took place around me at that time. Vividly I remember (while still living in the Middle East at the time) that the aftermath was surreal... as TV news showed the Afghans celebrating in the streets of Kabul with the supposed 'Fall of the Taliban' by playing their favourite music - It was blaring out from pick-up truck radios. The images of those poor people singing in Greek to another famous Greek musician's songs, Stylianos Kazantzidis. Soon after, 'Stelios' as he was known, died suddenly... on September 14th 2001.
"Born in Nea Ionia, Athens on 29th August, 1931, Stelios's parents originated from Pontos, Asia Minor. He is considered to be one of the most popular and influential Greek 'laiko' singers, and well known for capturing poor people's feelings in the difficult post-war period in Greece.
His father was killed for supporting the resistance (during the civil war). Στελιος was 14 at the time, and spent many years being chased/harassed for his leftist beliefs.
After finding fame, he became disillusioned and began to live a humble life away from the TV and the press. He was a plain man, and decided to stop performing live because he said people couldn’t afford the high prices that the night clubs were asking since the 60s. Such was the respect for him as an artist in Greece, the state approved the broadcast of his funeral live on Greek national television."
Like Theodorakis, Stelios was a national hero, a political, if not veteran war hero. Much beloved by the diaspora of Greeks around the world today, but not really a cross-over musical artist. He is often quoted and played as a 'soundtrack' to troubled times of Hellenes everywhere.
On the other hand, along with composing a myriad of acclaimed Hollywood movie soundtracks, Mikis Theodorakis is/was a much higher-profile political activist on the World stage. Even running for office at one time. There's a lot about the man, some of which can be found here: https://www.greeknewsagenda.gr/topics/culture-society/7033-theodorakis ... from his torture by the Nazis, to his organizing a solidarity movement in the late 60s/early70s, fronted by personalities such as Leonard Bernstein and Arthur Miller, his own arrest, and the Greek Junta (coup d'etat) and uprisings against the fascist dictatorship.
To cut to the chase... there is a synchronicity to current events, where Greek musical heroes, men who wrote music or sang songs beloved by Greeks and Afghans, about war and struggles, seem to have framed the post-9/11 Afghanistan war/crisis and ending of the conflict most precisely.
2001 - 9/14 - Stelios Kazantzidis dies
2001 - 9/18 - US begin attack on Afghanistan
2021 - 8/30 - US leave Afghanistan
2021 - 9/02 - Mikis Theodorakis dies
It's an odd statistic, it's symmetric, and it's synchromystic, and just adds further strangeness to this new occurrence of the Mandela Effect. That's not all...

| World War Z (2013) |
'Z' is the title of the Mikis Theodorakis soundtrack album to the 1969 political thriller film 'Z', about the events surrounding the assassination of the democratic Greek politician Grigoris Lambrakis in 1963, and the Greek Junta.
The movie poster above, of World War Z (a Zombie apocalypse horror) starring Brad Pitt, has been compared to the current Afghanistan withdrawal crisis by the media... now that's really strange!

Regarding Harry...
"Hello, you're looking for Harrison Ford? Sorry, no, you have the wrong number!"
"Hello, Harrison Ford? No, he's not here. Please stop calling!"
"Yes, you want to speak to Harrison Ford? For the last time NO, I'M NOT HARRISON FORD, HARRISON FORD IS NOT HERE, don't call again! Goodbye!"
"Hello... At the third stroke it will be four hours, two minutes and thirty three seconds precisely...."
Yep, I did meet him, and I did take this picture of my mum with him! Although we said no to all media enquiries, it’s still showing up everywhere, including the Mail Online and the Star Wars Fan News websites… forever linking them in the universe…. “Awesome!” as some have said recently to me!

A Killing Season – How Belief in Covid-19 Destroyed the World
01/05/2020 - Denmark passed an emergency law that allows for the government to force people to take a vaccine for coronavirus.
The emergency law gives authorities sweeping powers to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic and will remain in force until March 2021.
Citizens who refuse to be tested for the coronavirus will face fines and potential prison time, and will be prevented from entering shops, grocery stores, public institutions and hospitals while also being restricted from using public transport.
“As well as enforcing quarantine measures, the law also allows the authorities to force people to be vaccinated, even though there is currently no vaccination for the virus,” reports the Local.
Copenhagen University law professor Jens Elo Rytter said the new measures were “certainly the most extreme since the Second World War.”
The initial draft of the law was even more draconian and would have allowed police to enter private homes without a warrant if there was a suspicion of a coronavirus infection.
However, this measure was dropped after opposition from other parties in the Parliament.
To Everything There Is a
Season
To everything
there is a season,
and a time for
every purpose under heaven:
a time to be
born and a time to die,
a time to plant
and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to
heal,
a time to break
down and a time to build,
a time to weep
and a time to laugh,
a time to
mourn and a time to dance,
a time to cast
away stones and a time to gather stones together,
a time to
embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to
search and a time to count as lost,
a time to keep
and a time to discard,
a time to tear
and a time to mend,
a time to be
silent and a time to speak,
a time to love
and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace. Ecclesiastes 3
I enjoy reading my horoscope, it gives me hope and a mild feeling of optimism that somehow, the lack of control of destiny experienced daily, is just part of the plan. I don’t believe it’s an accurate foretelling of my future but it’s interesting to use in hindsight.
This year’s reads like a dream…
“You need to be ready for changes. Observing
the tiny details of life will help you overcome all problems in 2020!”
For everything there is a season, and it seems we are
living through that season of Pandemonium. Was this predicted do you think? It
may have been, eons ago. Today it seems inevitable. We didn’t see it coming,
but it was on its way and nothing was going to stop it.
IS our future written, can we change our destiny? Age-old
questions that occupy some minds. We can be the catalyst of our fate, I guess.
But do we really have control of anything or is it just the ‘illusion’ of
control… as things keep moving to their pre-ordained destination.
Did we ever stop to think that our way of life might change
at the blink of an eye?
Call it a PlanDemic or the new ‘Abnormal’ if you prefer. We
now find ourselves slaves to a real ‘Beast System’. What happened to the world?
Why is this happening now? All rational explanations have long gone out the window.
Do we have some shadow government or elite controllers to
blame for population reduction? Are their evil schemes coming to fruition in
front of our eyes? IS there really a ‘Covid-19’ virus killing people around the
globe? Where are the bodies buried/cremated (there are barely any funerals in
my local area)? Where are the people who know people who’ve died of it… the ones
that aren’t nurses or in a retirement/care home for the elderly?
Does testing make a difference? Does isolating make a
difference? Does wearing a mask matter? Will alcohol gel kill 99.9% of germs,
or should we volunteer for a fast-track Bill Gates approved vaccine trial with 20-page
disclaimer forms to sign?
Does hugging our Grandfather mean we might kill him? Should
children play in plastic bubbles in the school yard ‘just in case’? Is going to
the supermarket with a slight cough or temperature actually as dangerous as the
government says?
I have to work from home as my employer demands or else
lose my position. They’re still trying to find me a laptop so (in order not to
break the law) they allow me to work from the office. Dare I question this?
I can shop at the few shops left on my high street, but I
am not allowed to try anything on. I can buy it, bring it into my possibly
infected home and then return it to the shop for quarantine. The same goes for
shopping on-line. The jacket I like will need to be put in isolation if I
return it. Should I bother to shop at all, especially as some people in town are
actively not wearing masks in defiance of the law? Although it’s okay if you’re
at a demonstration, especially in central London. I’m not sure if it depends on
what you’re demonstrating though. I’m wondering about this! Questions, questions,
and more questions.
Now let’s look at the silver lining to all
this, many people I speak with on the subject are happy to go along with the
status-quo. Some of their reasoning…
1) The
good thing about shopping online is that Covid-19, or just plain Coronavirus,
as it’s now being called exclusively by the media, doesn’t stick to packages.
What a relief.
2) Oh,
and it’s okay to go to the local swimming baths, because you can swim without a
mask. You can use the same pool as other members of the public because everyone
is using gel etc before they get in the water.
3) You
can get your face and eyebrows done at the beauticians because they’re wearing
those face-shields, same goes for the dentist now.
4) It is also
okay to order take out food, and now sit in restaurants, as long as you give your
name, address, and contact number. You cannot see the state of the kitchens,
nor see if staff are adhering to the ‘rules’ so you have to eat-out in faith. It’s
a gamble but the government is giving discounts to consumers. That’s nice of
them because the hospitality sector needs customers.
5) Masks
are a good idea because it stops you from getting a virus or if you have the
virus but have no symptoms at all and feel 100% well, you won’t give it to
someone else without knowing it. They say this is called ‘shedding’. SO, you
might be shedding for weeks and not know it. You might even have anti-bodies
because you had the virus without knowing it, it cleared up, and you are now
immune. This is good because the local doctor’s surgery has now closed down.
But it’s okay they say as you can register online and speak to an ‘advisor’ who
is ‘clinically’ trained to assist you. We will definitely have the Covid Jab
and the Flu Jab this year, because it’s the only way to stop coronavirus.
6) Unfortunately
we had to cancel our summer holidays this year as most countries of the world
have quarantine rules when you get there, so that’s 2 weeks lost, and coming
back again means you would have to quarantine on arrival home. So that’s a
double-quarantine period and our employer frowns on that, which is a shame. We
hope to go next year, but we can still visit Scotland or Ireland for a weekend.
7) If you
do lose your employment you are entitled to claim benefits from the government
so you need to keep proof of everything, and it might take a while to receive
any funds. But at least they are helping the population, especially as there
were loads of companies that collapsed, laid off all their staff, or went bankrupt
and everyone was made redundant. There are a lot of people in need, so we have
to be patient.
8) We’re
looking forward to going to the cinema again once it opens. The first
blockbuster is the movie ‘Tenent’ by director Christopher Nolan. It’s about time-travel
and a rogue government agent that tries to stop the end of the world. Can’t
wait to see it.

Black, White, Other... Racism for the Masses
 |
| Killer Mike - a DJ from Atlanta talking about the murder of George Floyd |
No Justice, No Peace, I Can’t Breathe, Taking the Knee
You say unless I’m an immigrant in America this means
nothing to me?
I’ve seen the brutality against minorities which are really
majorities with no power,
It’s about Hate and Ego,
It’s the ‘I’m better than you, so GO!’
It’s about prejudice and ignorance,
“I don’t understand why you’re so different!”
It’s about ‘them and us’, so, “YOU sit at the back of the
bus!”
It’s about commerce and getting rich – That’s the
proto-Aristocracy’s Bitch.
Someone’s always got to be on top, that’s why Communism was
blocked.
Jim Crow was a liar, but we don’t talk about that.
No one is Equal, but everyone’s Racist, we’re all the same,
living from our basest.
Discrimination is a dirty word, the media sells you a lie
that you’re not part of the herd, while your government keeps you ignorant.
Won’t stick out your arm and take your medicine? Then put on
your facemask because they’re using kerosene. Minneapolis, Minnesota is the straw that broke
the camel’s back, fear keeps the masses on attack, there’s no turning back to
how things use to be.
My forefathers lived with the mantra ‘Never Forget’, like
this somehow meant change was gonna come, you wanna bet? The Turks still cut their
throats and the British hanged them. Now the Chinese Government shoots, and Saudi
Arabia backs them.
Black Lives Matter, of course they do, all Life Matters,
but for who? Without education, health, justice, peace, worker rights, the
freedom to dream, and the freedom to choose, what have you got left to lose…
except Killing your Masters before they kill you!
