Gravitational waves

5:51 a.m. EDT (9:51 a.m. GMT) on September 14, 2015

Blessed are those who believe in the unseen (Al-Quran, 2:3) by virtue of the omens given by the prophet (or scientist). The discovery of the gravitational wave is as significant an event as the discovery of thermal waves in deep space which produced a colorful map of the universe which could have been improved by adding a scale and the location of our earth on it. For a common man, gravitational wave is a kind of earthquake in vacuum. Poetically it can be called the vagary of nothingness or thingyness depending on how you see it.  Let us hope that the distortion in time and space caused around us by an event said to have taken place 1.3 billion years ago at a distance of about 7.63x10²¹ miles from us has not changed historical records or created intellectual mutants, and if so for the better. The best effect of the Gravitational wave encounter on earth that I can think of is that the prophecies of doom may be reversed.

Extremism in Europe

Restrictions on freedoms of Muslims in so-called secular EU countries such as France and Switzerland are a matter of concern for all civilized people. Although fully uncovered women are free to walk on the streets, fully covered women can’t. According to latest information the Swiss have stopped giving work visas to all people from Muslim countries. It seems that the messages of religious extremism and hatred embedded in western art and literature are getting triggered and becoming active. I have previously pointed out the provocative nature of illustrations in books such as Dante’s Divine Comedy and various religious war paintings in Europe’s art galleries. Now I have come across a very disturbing explanation of a popular nursery rhyme which may have subconsciously prepared western citizens for religious discrimination and violence.

Goosey Goosey Gander poem

Goosey Goosey Gander where shall I wander,
Upstairs, downstairs and in my lady's chamber
There I met an old man who wouldn't say his prayers,
I took him by the left leg and threw him down the stairs.

Zealous Protestants & Secret Priest Holes
Goosey, Goosey Gander is a Rhyme with Historical undertones - an attention grabber for a nursery rhyme which uses alliteration in the lyrics designed to intrigue any child. The 'lady's chamber' was a room that once upon a time a high born lady would have her own chamber, (also referred to as a solar). The origins of the nursery rhyme are believed to date back to the 16th century and refer to necessity for Catholic priests to hide in 'Priest Holes' (very small secret rooms once found in many great houses in England) to avoid persecution from zealous Protestants who were totally against the old Catholic religion. If caught both the priest and members of any family found harbouring them were executed. The moral in Goosey Goosey Gander's lyrics imply that something unpleasant would surely happen to anyone failing to say their prayers correctly - meaning the Protestant Prayers, said in English as opposed to Catholic prayers which were said in Latin!

Our grateful thanks go to Stan Evans for the following additional information:
"I read that it referred to the post Civil War period (middle 17th century) and Cromwell's soldiers who marched in "goose-step", which gives the title and first line. Also, the version of the rhyme I heard had the third line as, "There I met an old man a-saying of his prayers". This referred to (as you mention) a Catholic, possibly a Priest, praying and the line: "I took him by the left leg and threw him down the stairs" alluded to the nickname "left-footer", that a Catholic is sometimes called in Britain. The overall meaning was that the Roundhead soldiers were searching out Catholics, particularly Priests, hiding in the houses of friends, and when found they were ill-treated".

Now, if such bigoted, sadistic, parochial or racial prejudices are embedded in the minds of the population through childhood education, it would not be difficult for an aspiring Hitler to transform one of the finest nations into Nazis or for a future Bush/Blair nexus to create the situation through which the world is passing today.
