18th November 2010

This is my friend, Leslie. We go to the same scrapbooking crop. Unfortunately she was involved in the 7/7 bombing in London. Since then she has suffered PTSD. Today I went with her to King's Cross to lay flowers at the memorial to those who died.
At first we thought we wouldn't be allowed to leave the flowers. Security is very tight. The staff were very apologetic and we ended up talking to the duty station manager. He explained that people are generally encouraged to come at 6pm ( when the fire happened) but that since we were there he would come with us, with the official wreath, and we would lay our flowers together. Leslie is unable to go out after dark.
Sorry its not the best photo - I was being quick and surreptitious, expecting to be arrested at any moment.
There are 2 memorials - one for the bombing victims and one for the victims of the fire.
It was Leslie who told me about the Mixed Media Art day at the Museum of London - to which we both went in June. She is an inspirational and inovative artist and I appreciate her very much.

Consistant with "reverse positioning" understand the REAL Second Coming would equate with The Matrix's Anti-Christ, the fake battle of good and evil which will come at the end.
I have spoken on this issue in years past. Understanding how they use the political encviornment to redefine people's value system, realize anyone who speaks of the old world and its ways will envoke hatred. So when/if the Anti-Christ comes along speaking of reverting back to what liberalism would consider repressed and immoral may be the only hope to salvage the god's favor and keep moving forward rather than begin the 1000 year clock. The fake Second Coming will feed into this political enviornment.
