creative protest idea

i just saw & it really is a good one.

cardboard architectural model of city 60 square metres, subject to simulated firework attack.

In front of the Cathedral of Barcelona a 60metre square model of Barcelona under attack from the air.
Government buildings, commuinication systems, hospitals marked out, really good idea.

The Temple church of the Sagrada Familia
by Gaudi was the first to get hit though.
That church is world famous of course as it is still unfinished, the centenary of its architect Mr Gaudi who famously was treated with halucinogenic mushrooms for a lung complaint was celebrated last year.

The USAF Pentagon plan is probably very different we think. We may pause to recollect was the first city to be bombarded from the air the night of MArch 18 1936 by an air division of Mussolini's airforce. It is presumed that the Pentagon plan attacks on everywhere is it not? And if they attack Barcelona they probably will spare the Gaudi.

The Pentagon is even rumoured to have planned an attack on itself at one stage.

The Pentagon as every student of architecture knows was broken on the eleventh of September 2001.

Which incidently is the national holiday of Catalonia. MR Gaudi was a catalan and installed several references to the number eleven in his architecture. As only a few architecture students may know eleven has certain associations. It has since the middle ages been known as the numberof the builder.

One of the world "characters" is due to visit Ireland in the next while.

His name is George.
George W.
you pronounce that "George double you"

He is one a family, his daddy is a bit of a global "character" as well, and just a little over a week ago made the following statement
"you can not change global security policy because of the people who go onto the streets of Barcelona".
This man will be in France next month, though he isn't very popular there. His name is George as well. He is Mr Bush the elder. He spent three cold days in the Pacific ocean as the youngest fighter pilot in the USAF. He had been shot down by the Japanese. He got a medal, and war hero status, and indeed his political career which included many high honorary offices such as Director of the CIA, was seen by many as a reward for that "heroism".

His sons we may safely presume were regaled as children with stories of that War and the heroism it gave to many Americans.

His son George W. Bush is the current incumbent of the White House. Many people still question the legitamacy of his election. The state where many consider the discrepencies to be certianly worthy of more than passing historical interest is the state of Florida.

The Governor of the state of Florida is Jeb Bush, he is the other son of Mr Elder Bush who said world security can not be changed because of the people who go out onto the streets of Barcelona.

I mention that twice, because I happen to live in Barcelona, and since the 28th of October last year have consistently gone out onto the street to say this War can not safely be "prosecuted" by the US/K.

US/K is my very original symbolic and semiotic easy to copy way of expressing that the US and UK military cultural and economic geo-policy are identical.
It is also a quite inspired injoke for certain members of the "global underground".
But that is irrelevant as none of the Bush family are really privvy to the global underground.
so I am losing my point so to speak...

The bush that will meet Blair and Ahern in what some will term "Ireland" and others will term "Ulster" shall be an unusual one for any U.S. President be they legitimate or not.

Ulster we may ponder is proud of providing ground and "roots" to seven U.S. Presidents. "Ireland" may see fit to remember the visits of Kennedy and Clinton or Reagan.

Mr Bush will not be recieved in such a way.

We may take heart from the knowledge that neither Ulster nor Ireland will see any advantage in welcoming the son of elder President Bush.

Mr Blair and Mr Ahern are smaller fish for another day to fry.

I shall some day soon make known my open letter to Mr President Bush (the elder) as regards the fact that
WE HAVE ALREADY CHANGED GLOBAL SECURITY POLICY.
several times.
[we believe that the retina scan he has to endure to enter global institution meetings is a result of our endevour]...but we may just be getting a "wee bit excited".

in the mean time illustrative architectural models are easy to make from recyclable material.

the link is to my thoughts on waiting in the pissing rain to shout at Jeb Bush he who I long ago nominated "Bush 3".

It is my opinion that the children of heros never make suitable presidents of any nation be they legitamate or not.

& Bush clan I am not alone.
