Weekly Roundup: Dark Connections, Reveals, Lies & Conflicts
Week ending 3rd and 4th December 2022
Oh dear, quite a scandal-hit week, this one.
Here’s my roundup of the week’s readings: click on the titles to see the original reading and analysis.
Monday: A Week Of Suspicious Connections, Secret Revealed, Poor Advice, But Good News Too
Rather too much in here this time to be certain about, especially the “loyalty” bit (perhaps a warning against simplistic “goodies and baddies” tribalism) but felt like a busy, news-filled week. A big and unpleasant scandal/”secret” with regard to Spanish fashion house Balenciaga and its fashion imagery referencing paedophilia (definite whiff of “contact with suspicious people”) the designers of which Balenciaga are now suing, not to mention Russian oligarchs getting arrested in London, another unedifying royal family race row at an event held by Camilla with continued fallout, everyone and his dog weighing in, and counter-accusations flying about, Waleses in the US, the dropping of the Netflix trailer for Harry & Meghan’s documentary.
But good news for England, the US and Australia in the not without its own controversies football World Cup in Qatar (bad for Germany though, also Wales), although not convinced that “passion is enveloping all our hearts” just yet. And in any case, we should never count our chickens. Or believe everything we hear.
Tuesday: Cash Diminishment Lies & Deceptions Around Care, News of Long-Term Guidance
Yep, I think this was about the ongoing discussions for NHS pay and the impending strike. As the reading indicated, the discussions about money weren’t going anywhere though whether it’s the government’s or union’s “guidance” we’re talking about, who knows. The news the following day was the overwhelming vote in a ballot for strike action: Nurse’s Strike.
Wednesday: Privileged man’s Thoughts Of Distress Becoming Unhealthy Occupation
I think my initial assessment was right and that this was almost certainly Harry. Next!
Attempts At Healing Bond Scoffed At By Enemy But Togetherness Brings Treasure In The End
In a situation that needs healing, attempts to come together will be scoffed at by a posturing and arrogant enemy, who will make sure everyone knows his thoughts. But friendship, loyalty and togetherness will turn out to be where the treasure is, and will bring us gifts of its own.
Lots of situations this could refer to, but certainly a lot of huffing and puffing and stirring up of old divisions on multiple counts this week. Those looking at more conciliatory approaches may be received better by a battle weary public, I think.
A Lot Of Money Lost, Hope Of Surprise & Successful Revelation From Enemy
Another one that could refer to several situations and the “Revelations” still to play out I think.
So there we have it. Tribalism and division, one-upmanship, enemies aplenty and potential reveals all round right now. Until next week. And don’t forget to let me know in the comments if there’s a news story you’d like me to read for!
