US warning to Americans about imminent attack in Moscow proves prophetic 2 weeks later

Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed the US warnings just days before the attack

Brie Stimson By Brie Stimson Fox News

Published March 23, 2024 10:20pm EDT

Putin said security teams caught four people directly involved in Moscow attacks

Fox News’ Madison Scarpino reports on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claims that the terrorist attack suspects were trying to escape to Ukraine, while Ukraine officials deny any involvement.

Two weeks before Friday’s attack on a large concert hall in Russia on the outskirts of Moscow that has left more than 130 dead, the U.S. embassy sent out a warning to Americans to “avoid large gatherings,” including concerts, because of “imminent plans” for an attack by “extremists.”

“The Embassy is monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts, and U.S. citizens should be advised to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours,” stated the March 7 alert. 

The Islamic State group (ISIS) claimed responsibility for Friday’s attack, which the U.S. has confirmed, despite Russian officials trying to point blame at Ukraine. 

Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed the U.S. warnings as “blackmail” just days before the attack.

Just three days before the attack, Putin said, “All this resembles outright blackmail and the intention to intimidate and destabilize our society,” calling the warnings “provocative,” according to Russian news agency TASS. 

The State Department confirmed to Fox News that U.S. intelligence had information about a planned terrorist attack in Moscow, which prompted the agency to issue a public advisory to U.S. citizens in Russia. 

The U.S. government also shared this information with Russian authorities in accordance with its longstanding “duty to warn” policy.

RUSSIA CONCERT HALL GOES UP IN FLAMES AFTER ATTACK INVESTIGATED AS TERRORISM

On Saturday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken put out a statement saying, “The United States strongly condemns (Friday’s) deadly terrorist attack in Moscow. We send our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed and all affected by this heinous crime. We condemn terrorism in all its forms and stand in solidarity with the people of Russia in grieving the loss of life from this horrific event.”

Also on Saturday, Putin addressed the nation in a televised broadcast, slamming the massacre as “a bloody, barbaric terrorist act.” He declared Sun., March 24, a day of mourning.

Putin said that additional security measures have been put in place throughout the country following the attack – the deadliest in over 20 years.

“All four direct perpetrators of the terrorist attack, all those who shot and killed people, were found and detained,” Putin said. “They tried to hide and moved towards Ukraine, where, according to preliminary data, a window was prepared for them from the Ukrainian side to cross the state border,” suggesting there may have been a Ukrainian link to the bloodbath. 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has denied any involvement by his nation.

The surprise attack began when gunmen donning combat gear burst into Crocus City Hall, where concertgoers were gathering to hear the Russian band Picnic. Video online showed gunmen opening fire, shooting attendees at close range and setting off smoke bombs.

The gunmen also threw explosives inside the concert hall during the attack, rocking the building and setting it on fire, Russian media reported. People were being evacuated, but some remained trapped inside the burning building, Russian media noted.

The roof of the theater collapsed in the early hours of Saturday morning as firefighters spent hours fighting the flames. Russians laid flowers at memorials and lined up to give blood.

Putin said that the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia and other law enforcement agencies are working to identify the entire terrorist support base.

“Those who provided them with transport, planned escape routes from the crime scene, prepared caches, caches of weapons and ammunition,” Putin said. “It is already obvious that we are faced not just with a carefully and cynically planned terrorist attack, but with the organized mass murder of peaceful, defenseless people. The criminals were cold-blooded and purposefully going to kill, shoot our citizens at point-blank range — our children.”

The intelligence community said it believes the ISIS affiliate in Afghanistan called Islamic State Khorasan, or “ISIS-K” as it is known, carried out the attack, a U.S. official told Fox News.

It is the same terrorist group that killed 13 American service members at Abbey Gate during the hasty U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.

The US embassy had warned Americans that “extremists” had imminent plans for an attack in Moscow weeks ahead of the deadly strike on concertgoers by Islamic State militants on Friday that resulted in the deaths of 93 people.

In the deadliest attack in Russia since the 2004 Beslan school siege, gunmen sprayed civilians with bullets just before Soviet-era rock group “Picnic” was to perform to a full house at the 6,200-seat the Crocus City Hall just west of the capital.

The US embassy on 7 March repeatedly urged all American citizens to leave Russia immediately, giving no further details about the nature of the threat, but said people should avoid concerts and crowds and be aware of their surroundings.

“The Embassy is monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts, and US citizens should be advised to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours,” the embassy said on its website at that time.

It issued its warning several hours after Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), the main successor to the Soviet-era KGB, said it had foiled an attack on a synagogue in Moscow by a cell of the militant Sunni Muslim group Islamic State.

Camouflage-clad gunmen on Friday opened fire with automatic weapons at concertgoers, killing 93 people and injuring 145.

Verified videos showed people taking their seats in the hall, then rushing for the exits as repeated gunfire echoed above screams. Other videos showed men shooting at groups of people. Some victims lay motionless in pools of blood.

“Suddenly there were bangs behind us – shots. A burst of firing – I do not know what,” one witness, who asked not to be identified by name, told Reuters.

“A stampede began. Everyone ran to the escalator,” the witness said. “Everyone was screaming; everyone was running.”

Russia arrested 11 people including four suspected gunmen in connection with the shooting rampage, the Kremlin said on Saturday.

It said FSB security service chief Alexander Bortnikov had reported to president Vladimir Putin that those detained included “four terrorists” and that the service was working to identify their accomplices.

In the 2004 Beslan school siege, Islamist militants took more than 1,000 people, including hundreds of children, hostage.

Russian president Vladimir Putin was being updated by security chiefs about the situation, including from Alexander Bortnikov, the head of FSB, the Kremlin said.

Russian investigators published pictures of a Kalashnikov automatic weapon, vests with multiple spare magazines, and bags of spent bullet casings.

The US has the highest level of warning for Russia – red “4 – Do not travel” – the same level as Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen and South Sudan and Iran.

The US embassy on Friday said in a statement following the attack: “The US Embassy in Moscow is horrified by reports coming from the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall in Moscow. We offer our sincere condolences to the Russian people for the lives lost and to those injured in tonight’s attack.

“As events continue to unfold, we urge US citizens in Moscow to avoid the area, follow instructions of local security personnel, and monitor local media for updates.”

Russia launches massive missile strike on Ukraine

01:08CNN — 

The US warned Moscow that ISIS militants were determined to target Russia in the days before assailants stormed the Crocus City Hall in an attack that killed scores of people, but President Vladimir Putin rejected the advice as “provocative.”

Gunmen stormed the concert hall near Moscow on Friday, opening fire and throwing an incendiary device in the worst terrorist attack on the Russian capital in decades.

Isis has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Experts said the scale of the carnage – some of which was captured in video footage obtained by CNN showing crowds of people cowering behind cushioned seats as gunshots echoed in the vast hall – would be deeply embarrassing for the Russian leader, who had championed a message of national security just a week earlier when winning the country’s stage-managed election.

Not only had Russian intelligence services failed to prevent the attack, they said, but Putin had failed to heed warnings from the United States that extremists were plotting to target Moscow.

Earlier this month, the US embassy in Russia had said it was “monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow,” including concerts, and it warned US citizens to avoid such places.

US National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said the US government had “shared this information with Russian authorities in accordance with its longstanding ‘duty to warn’ policy.”

But in a speech Tuesday, Putin had blasted the American warnings as “provocative,” saying “these actions resemble outright blackmail and the intention to intimidate and destabilize our society.”

That stance came despite Russian authorities having reported several ISIS-related incidents within the past month.

The state-run RIA Novosti reported on March 3 that six ISIS members were killed in a counter-terrorist operation in the Ingush Karabulak; on March 7, it said security services had uncovered and “neutralized” a cell of the banned organization Vilayat Khorasan in the Kaluga region, whose members were planning an attack on a synagogue in Moscow; and on March 20, it said the commander of an ISIS combat group had been detained.

Two sources familiar with the American information said that since November there had been a steady stream of intelligence that ISIS-K – an affiliate of ISIS that is active in Afghanistan and the surrounding region – was determined to attack Russia.

Moscow has intervened tellingly in Syria’s civil war, to the support of President Bashar al-Assad and against ISIS.

ISIS-K “sees Russia as being complicit in activities that regularly oppress Muslims,” Michael Kugelman of the Washington-based Wilson Center said, as quoted by Reuters.

He added that the group also counts as members a number of Central Asian militants, who hold their own grievances against Moscow.

A US official said Friday that Washington had no reason to doubt ISIS’ claim that it was responsible for the latest attack.

On Friday, following reports of the Crocus City Hall attack, the US embassy advised US citizens not to travel to Russia.

Michael The Pole Dancer

Well it’s 10.15pm on 21st March 2024, and it’s time to expose myself, or rather the fact that I am a Pole Dancer. I am not a Flasher, though I did once teacher a Czech friend a new English word, Flasher, as they had come as a Flasher to a party, but did not know the word. When I explained they looked through a huge English dictionary, and repeated the word.

This is old news from Easter 1998, but memories do bubble up. Now time has passed and I have two very smart and beautiful daughters, Chinese/Irish or Shanghai/Birmingham. The smaller one has taken up Pole dancing for exercise and her University subsidises it. Volley Ball and badminton were too competitive and maxed out by foreign students. So, my daughter dragged a friend along and has become a Pole dancer, or student of the POLE, as it is called by those in the know. So, my small daughter is studying Anthropology with French and a side order of Pole.

Obviously, I talk to my daughter and she explains things to me, so I thought maybe I should take up the Pole myself. So, I went into out garden and swung off the clothes dryer for a few hours, but the wind started blowing a gale, so I got trapped amongst the wires. I was found tied up and half strangled by the wires, with my knickers in disarray. I should have emptied the dryer first but I did not think of that. My own trousers were down by my ankles, as I have a rounded belly so all the activity meant my trousers slipped. At least my pants still survived, though all the buttons were open, like a cuckoo clock jammed open.

My neighbour did take photos to put on her Facebook page, she likes to boast about just how Bohemian the neighbour is, with artists and writers. Though I was in the real Bohemia Czech and nobody took photos of me attached to an air dryer in the garden. So, finally with everything frozen I was untangled under cover of darkness and allowed back into our house, before the foxes would come out and nibble me.

The sense of freedom was intoxicating, like as a child you are swung around till you are dropped and you fall over drunk like.  Dizzy is children’s alcohol, or maybe that was back in the 60s, as it’s Politically Incorrect to swing your kids any more. Anyway, once back inside I thought now I had caught the bug, I would advance to the Pole. Maybe I should have just joined a Circus, be part of the Greatest Showman. I’d be the bearded lady, the size of my hernia is bigger than some women’s breasts, take my word for it. It used to be like a marble, and I waited a year for a surgeon to take a look, and he said leave it alone as it was so high up my chest, so nowhere to attach mesh to keep it in. But now, it’s as big as my fist, or some women’s breasts

I decide to use a street lamp as my Pole, and the light on it would be my illumination. I climbed on my neighbour’s car and dented it, why can’t they a 120kilo man walking on the bonnet and roof. As I leaned over and was wondering how to get further up the street light, Totoro our cat decided to help, she scratched me, next to my heart bypass scars on my legs. And Twinkle her fox friend bit my bum. So I grabbed the fox as I shot up the lamp post and twirled, the fox became a Boa and I spun and dangled it around my neck, legs and bum as it snapped at me. Madagascar is just a cartoon, you try a real fox up a lamppost, I learnt so much, and fast. It was like a crash course in Pole. My small daughter live streamed it back to her University friends.

I can twerk, so I twerked a lot too, though my weight was too much for the lamppost. It buckled and the light flickered, the neighbours came out to cheer, my knicker elastic gave way, and the knickers came down, so I flicked them off. Landing in the face of one of our new neighbours, I was the first naked man she had ever seen, she was a vicar’s daughter.  And what had I taught her.

It was growing cold, and shrinkage happens, so I slid off the lamppost and wiped my sweaty body on the dented neighbour’s car. He could always set fire to it, and say it was vandals, skid marks on a roof. With that I decided to go in, and have a hot bath.  That was the full extent of my swinging. I’ll have to write a story about it. I look at my watch, it’s 11.06 pm. This has been a 50min story. As I had my hot bath I left the window open to let the steam out. I mused if only I had a typist. I didn’t notice a Shy Girl called Marie, the vicar’s daughter she was looking out her bedroom window and could see me in my bath. The next day she knocked my door and handed me my knickers, oh and by the way I am a Typist, I’d. love to type for you….

plus a 2nd Pole story from 5 years ago, so am I prophetic

Yes, I am a Pole Dancer, so don’t be jealous, and ladies don’t be too excited. At first it was a way of keeping fit, me all alone in the basement swinging from the pole that held up the ceiling above. It cost me nothing and it kept me fit. Then when I was in the corner shop Lilly fell over on a banana skin, I caught her and she said I was ever so strong. Where did you did you get your muscles from, I said from a sale on Amazon, Lilly laughed and hit me with her walking stick. Lilly is 89 you see, but she lies about her age and says she is 100, that way she gets free stuff. Her Pension is not enough, so by lying about her age she adds to her cupboard instead of being an old mother Hubbard.

Her granddaughter or is it great granddaugher intervened and prevented any more battering. So Louise followed me home and took a look at my bruise, she then slapped on a plaster and said grannie was right you are so full of muscles. Please tell me where you got them from. So I confessed to being a Pole dancer in the cellar, using the pole that held the ceiling up as my exercise tool.

Louise insisted on seeing my Pole. Then she said go on, do it. So I stripped to my Yfronts and my string vest and my socks and began to swing. I forgot to say Louise works in the local Primark, so she’s used to seeing people strip off and try things on. Nobody would try anything on with Louise as she trains with 7th Dan Moses at the local Judo school. So there I was swinging from my Pole. Louise was quite impressed, and she actually quite excited, it must have been the sight of my 18stones or 252 pound body moving fluidly around a Pole. Up and down and around and around. In the end it was too much for here so she went upstairs for a glass of water.

The next day she brought a friend, Mandy was her name, and they asked could the have the use of my Pole. I agreed of course. Mandy also does Judo with 7th Dan Moses, so how could I refuse. But they did make me an offer I could not refuse. They would bake for me. So I couldn’t say Bake Off to them. In fact their mince pies nearly turned my head, and went straight to my thighs, so much so I had to do an extra 10 mins before bedtime.

So it continued, I had food and drinks left on my kitchen table while down below ladies used my pole. In the end I didn’t need to go shopping as the ladies using my pole filled my cupboard. In the end it was later and later before I could do my own pole exercise routine. I’d been watching the gymnastics and had picked up a trick or two. Moulin Rouge had been on the telly again so that inspired me again.

It was so late that I had decided to do my pole routine naked and then I’d shower and go straight to bed. Only life is strange, and as I was working out on pole with the soundtrack to Moulin Rouge playing on my old cassette player, I did not notice a group of ladies sneak in. Lilly and Mandy were trying to persuade their friends that pole dancing was really good for keeping the figure trim. In fact it was nearly the entire ladies Judo team, Midlands Division. They had popped in for a quick look and I hadn’t locked the front door, so they were able to slip in. If you have that many Judo people visit you and our pole you feel safe.

The girls were amazed, and when they saw all my scars, first from my ankle bones to my naughty bits, then down my entire chest, they were overwhelmed. And it takes a lot to overwhelm a Ladies Judo expert, Midlands Division. The sight of my tight big fat buttocks, made them gasp too, ok one had to go puke in the front garden. One of them could not resist temptation and live streamed it. So I was all over the Internet, me and my fat arse, and glorious scars.

I stopped and did not know what to say, then I said the obvious, I hope somebody brings some Stella tomorrow. I’m here already, said a voice from the back. It was a beautiful girl. I meant Stella Artois I mumbled. I’ll bring the Stella Artois tomorrow said Stella. We all laughed. I walked through the crowd, Stella slapped my bum, it was just too much temptation for her.

Overnight I was an Internet sensation, and in the morning Stella brought the Stella Artois. Then she stripped and practised her pole dancing. It was only fair after all. And that is how me and Stella got together. Naked pole dancing together with Stella, Stella Artois afterwards.

I know what you were doing last night HONG KONG, I’ll tell your mother

you were reading The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker

AND you overtook Korea on my readers list on this site

go wash your hands, or have a fag, or a cup of tea

whatever

still need to read 10 times more to beat Singapore

below is what will become the climax of the sequel

Tears for a Butcher

but sadly I’ll probably never write it

as a book is a year of your life, without Tinnitus

Not unless a poor misguided millionairess comes to type for me

and I have empty hands, just like in Little Women

would she say, now they are full to me?

and take the risk of Mathew Mark Luke and John

arriving

now read on

Chapter Ten Tears for Butcher (my future sequel)

Chapter Ten Tears for a Butcher ©

By

Michael Casey

Big Sid had ambled into the Post Office he wanted to change for his till, so naturally he had stopped to talk to Mrs Murphy who was telling the world that June beside her was expecting a 2nd child. Sid held baby Sheila in his arms like a Saint Christopher and told her she’d soon have a playmate. It was while he was holding the infant that 3 armed men in motorbike helmets broke into the Post Office. But for that he would have immediately charged them like a raging bull, but he was holding the infant so he had to control himself.

The alarm rang, and Sgt Mulholland had coincidentally pulled up outside, so a siege ensued. Now I won’t give you all the details of the siege here, but Big Sid immediately made sure that his bulk was in between the 2 Mrs Murphys and the infant. Over his dead body would any harm come to them. And on the siege endured. It turned out the robbers were at the wrong Post Office. They should have been at the Hope Avenue Post Office, the very big one the other side of town. That’s what happens when you don’t know how to use a Sat Nav.

Big Sid’s friend the Professor from Birmingham Medical school had been leading a conference of surgeons, and Jake Powers an American surgeon had wanted to say Hi. He’d heard how the Professor had used Big Sid in a lecture and BQ and wanted to meet Big Sid in person. He was going to emulate the idea back home in Dallas, imitation is the sincerest form of flatter. Jake Powers was tall and lean and proudly wore his cowboy boots and hat, he was the son of a rancher after all.

So the Professor and the American happened to be at Big Sid’s butcher’s before Jake Powers would take old Michael’s taxi to the airport. There is no such thing as coincidence only the Will of God, and maybe Big Sid had friends in the Highest of places. The Professor waited and was told that Big Sid had gone to to the Post Office. Then the siege began. The Professor looked at his good friend, you don’t want to miss your flight do you? Jake Powers looked him in the eye, just in case, just in case I think I’ll stay. Besides I did not have time for a drink in the Trader. Jake Powers had never had alcohol in his life, so the Professor smiled.

The Professor whispered into his phone, the nearest hospital is Dudley Rd hospital, the one opposite Saint Patrick’s church. Can Blue team assemble this is not a drill, he looked up at Jake Powers, just in case. Just in case repeated Jake Powers. I better let my friends know I’ll not be on the plane home. So Jake Powers phoned his friends who had by now gathered around a tv at the Birmingham airport. Collectively they were Dallas’s best trauma and gunshot team. We understand they said, and where is the standby hospital? Dudley Rd, opposite Saint Patrick’s church.

In a nanosecond the team decided to heck with the flight we might be needed. However they were a full hour away from the hospital. So Dean Marvin a surgeon from Dallas stepped outside and whispered into the ear of a bored Policeman. And with that they boarded their coach and the coach driver was told by PC Jones to stay right up his arse. So with a Police escort a coach full of the world’s greatest surgeons were on their way to join Blue team. It was the first week on the job for Ken the coach driver, with a new coach firm who were desperate for work if only they could get some publicity.

Well God works in mysterious ways, Sky was covering the seige now, and their helicopter saw the coach right up PC Jones’ arse as instructed. The A team was on it’s was, let’s pray they are not needed.

Singing Anvil Coaches were all over Sky news, a free advert as Ken  drove like a bat out of hell on his way to the hospital.

Everybody was calm at the siege. The robbers expected millions of pounds, but would get next to nothing at this Hope Post Office. Big Sid stayed positioned with his bulk protecting the women as the 3 bandits argued over whose fault it was. Then Fate or Ill Luck beckoned, Mrs Murphy was dying for the toilet, so she demanded they let them all out and then surrender to the Police and 10 years in jail. Shut Up you old bitch was their reply. Big Sid said they should not speak like that. Mrs Murphy fired back what are going to do, shoot the baby?

Yes, we’ll shoot the baby the trio of bandits replied. That was a red flag to Big Sid, nothing would ever ever ever hurt a child. So the raging bull was released. He was shot once but threw one straight out the Post Office window, then he charged the second and was shot a second time as he threw the 2nd bandit out the shop window. Big Sid looked back at the women. Are you all safe, YES they screamed in fear. Then Big Sid though by now bleeding heavily charged a 3rd time and got shot a 3rd time, but still managed to throw the 3rd bandit out. But that was not enough for Big Sid he staggered out the shattered front window and Body Slammed the pile of bandits. Is everybody safe he asked?

Jake Powers knew he had to save Big Sid’s life, he was the bravest man in the world, he had seen it with his own eyes. The Professor and Jake leapt into action, Big Sid was hauled into a waiting ambulance. Sgt Mullholland took the wheel, both ambulance men were needed to help the Professor and Jake Powers. Sgt Mullholland floored it, the junctions had already been blocked off as a precaution. Sgt Mulholland flew and I mean flew through Old Forge and Singing Anvil, down the Bearwood Rd, down Cape Hill and down the Dudley Road to the hospital.

And what of the three bandits, they were being savaged by hairy Amjit, the long haired alsatian. Nobody in the Police bothered to stop the dog, that’s if they dared. Finally hairy Amjit pissed on each one in turn. Then he picked up their guns one by one and left them at the feet of Roger the Traffic Warden who shook hairy Amjit’s extended paw.

Mrs Muphy knew what she had to do now, it was all her fault anyway, she should not have been so cheeky. But now her Rosary Beads were out in plain view. Michael get me to Saint Pats quick. With that old Michael the taxi driver floored it, he drove even faster that the Police, he had Saint Michael the Arch Angel behind him. At Saint Patricks  Mrs Murphy walked to the very front of the church and kneeing against the altar rail she began another Rosary.

Mrs Murphy’s heart was breaking, Big Sid could die and it was all her fault. But she had her Rosary and Big Sid had the world’s greatest gun shot team there all tending to his wounds. So she started in 5th gear, no time to waste, she rattled through the Rosary. Outside a media scrum had begun. A slow news day had now become a very big news day. And on she prayed. Her prayers were not enough, she needed more Rosaries, then in her pain she had an idea.

She went outside the church next to the cross and asked Sky news could she say something. Sky news put her on live, this was by now a big big story. Can I ask for prayers for Big Sid? YES. Screamed the Sky reporter, and echoed the BBC reporters and ITN and more. So switching to French she asked for Rosaries, then in Spanish and in Italian. In 10 Languages she asked for Rosaries and said the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be in each of those languages. Whenever she was on Pilgrimage she learnt the Rosary in a new language. The reporters were amazed, a little of lady from Old Forge and Singing Anvil could speak all those languages. All she could say was the Rosary, but that was enough. It was the Virgin Mary’s Nuclear Weapon after all.

Now the shooting of a butcher by 3 armed men, who were disarmed by him became a big big story. Hairy Amjit savaging them and collecting the guns and leaving them at the foot of the traffic warden was shown worldwide. Now Mrs Murphy beseeching for players also went worldwide. The daughters of the rosary leapt into action worldwide. A cry from the womb could never be ignored. 24hour prayers were soon in action, thanks to time zones and Mrs Murphy’s language skills. She even knew Hindi.

Now while all this was unfolding a British Aristocrat and a Shanghai Billionaire were gambling, and who else but Smiling Paul was  leading the entertainment. When Big Sid broke all over the news Smiling Paul screamed as if stabbed. The Aristocrat was livid too, his ancestors had provided the beef for King Henry’s Sirloin. As for the Shanghai Billionaire, when he heard Mrs Murphy beg for prayers not only in Mandarin but in Shanghai dialect he could not be moved. He was also a secret catholic.

Then as Smiling Paul howled like a wounded dog his wife comforted him. And then, and then the Shanghai Billionaire realised, Smiling Paul was The Lucky One, the man who was prepared to give everything to save the restaurant business of his Chinese friends. The silly looking one with the most beautiful of Chinese wives. Now at that moment the Shanghai billionaire swore Big Sid would be avenged, as did the English aristocrat. To upset one billionaire is a bad idea, but to upset two. And how could he help? Father Dan was  in deepest China and Mrs Murphy’s broken heart asked for his return. So the Shanghai billionaire returned her priest, and asked his playboy son with his penthouse at the top of Pearl Tower to come to Old Forge and Singing Anvil too. And because of this coincidence his son would return to his father too. As I’ve said before there is no such thing as coincidences only the work of God. And that work would begin with Fr.Dan  hearing the confession of the 3 bandits inside Winson Green Jail, I forgot to say Fr.Dan is Old School, but I won’t talk of bruises in a prison cell, he is a martial arts expert too, but what else do you expect of a Jesuit….

Saint Patrick and Me

My Mum’s Place Kerry Eire

Posted bymichaelgcaseyPosted inUncategorizedEditMy Mum’s Place Kerry Eire

This is Cromane Lower, Killorglin, County Kerry, follow the coast road as that’s where my mother came from . The old coastguard station is very fancy, 50 years ago it was a bar

My dad and me came out in the dark, no street lighting then, and my dad thought he had gone blind. What’s that noise he asked slightly afraid, it was the sea hitting the strand it was very late. Christmas 1973, dad and me, and Uncle Patrick

I stumbled over it again in my Tinnitus time on the phone I keep for music by my bed

So if ever your are in Kerry, do pop in , and raise a glass in toast for me. And have a Lemonade, the red or the white they used to say. So have a pancake tomorrow, and then promise yourself to see Kerry at its very best. And see the values from the sea, poured into me. SOB, Son of a Blacksmith from Kerry

Michael and the Chink in the Wall, my answer to A Christmas Carol

Thursday 14 March 2024

Michael and the Chink in the Wall, my answer to A Christmas Carol

Michael and the Chink in the Wall, my answer to A Christmas Carol

Posted bymichaelgcaseyPosted inUncategorized

Michael and the Chink in the Wall ©

By Michael Casey

Michael was all alone in the house, he was abandoned, left all alone with just the mice for company. He was the kitchen boy in the Master’s house, he’d fetch and carry and be allowed to sleep in a corner, just like a dog, but a dog would at least have a basket. He was actually the Master’s son, but when the pantry maid had died in labour, Michael was kept in the kitchen, the Master agreeing not to send him to the Workhouse, a promise he kept as the maid died before him.

Being the eldest, Michael should have inherited the house and the fortune, but he had been born on the wrong side of the blanket. The non bastard children were in fact very ugly, but the Master had married for a fortune, and not for love. Meanwhile Michael slowly rotted in the kitchen, while snotty noses enjoyed their Victorian life.

Michael would sit and dream on the cold flagstones, just shadows on the wall for company. Sometimes one of Charles Dickens’  stories would appear wrapped up with carrots or turnips. Michael loved Charles Dickens his stories were so good, what with the cliff-hangers, one day Charles Dickens would be famous. The cook just laughed, but she enjoyed listening to Michael reading out the stories while peeled the spuds. That was the only reason she had taught Michael to read, so she could entertain her, she had in fact invented Radio, minus the radio that is, Listen with Mother if you like.  

Every night the staff went to the attic to sleep while Michael shivered in a corner, it was a slow death of the spirit apart from Charles Dickens. Michael had to try and fall asleep before the kitchen fire went out, or he would not sleep at all, the cold being so bone chillingly cold.

There was a chink in the wall from the house next door and this was Michael’s tv, without the tv that is. For in the next house everybody was always happy and gay, the servants laughed and even danced. They had a good Master, their fire was always on, the Master liked a warm house, he had made his fortune in India so he liked a warm house.

If Michael squeezed himself against the chink in the wall he could hear the singing and smell the cooking, he could pretend he was with them in the warmth of company and of real warm. There was  actually a bit of heat coming from that chink in the wall, Michael loved that house and that kitchen, it was so full of life and joy.

At night Michael fell asleep mumbling the songs that he’d heard from the next door household. In the middle of the night he’d regularly awake, his toes numb with cold, his bum freezing too. So he’d get up and stamp around. Only shadows for company, the one candle in a jar his only illumination. Michael would hold the jar and press it against his body for warmth.

Even the shadows on the wall had pity on him, they would dance about and form faces of people dancing and talking, trying to amuse and console Michael. The very stones cried for him, shadows of tears fell. Michael loved their company in his daily Dark Night of the Soul, a shadow is great company if you have no friends, if you have to decide whether to burn Charles Dickens for warmth or save him so he can warm your soul. Such a choice, warmth of the spirit or warmth of the body.

The same shadows came night after night, they were in fact peopled by stories from Charles Dickens, if your body is so cold, then all that is left is the spark of soul. Or distant smells and laughter coming through the chink in the wall. So your imagination sees things in the dark, you see what you want to see in the cold and dark. You see Hope. You see Love. You see Laughter. You see dancing shadows.

The cook gave Michael a sweet, it was covered in muck and feathers, she’d found it in the street when she’d been to the butchers, a few weeks previously. She had only just remembered it. It was a present for being such a good boy. It was also a goodbye, Michael would be 9 next week so the Master had decided to let Michael find his own way in the world. Michael would have to leave.

The Master was going to buy a puppy for his legitimate children, Alpha the dog would need a space in the kitchen, Michael would have to leave to make room for Alpha the dog. A dog is a man’s, a Master’s best friend after all. The promise to the pantry maid had been kept, 9 years Michael had squatted, now he was man enough to find his own way in the world.

The Master ordered that Michael be locked in overnight and then in the morning when Alpha arrived Michael would be shown the door. Michael stuffed all the Charles Dickens in his pockets, he’s freeze one last night, but Charles Dickens would be part of his new life whatever and wherever that may be.

The walls wept, if only Michael could squeeze through the crack in the wall, if only he could sing and dance with the neighbours, they were having a Christmas Eve celebration. Michael fell asleep dreaming that very same dream. He was dancing and drinking punch, the maids all gave him a dance and a peck on the cheek. They all loved him, he was not the bastard son, unwanted and thrown out to make room for a  dog.

Michael danced and laughed all night long, he was so happy, a much loved member of the family. He was smiling in his sleep, clutching Charles Dickens in his hands. That was how they found him in the morning, curled up like a dog, but with a smile on his face, and Charles Dickens’ new story in his hand A Christmas Carol. Michael had died happy in his sleep. But how he got next door through a locked door nobody would ever know, not even the stones would tell. Sometimes all the love you need is a chink in the wall.

My Soul is led astray by empty promises

My Soul is rudderless, drifting and rocking

My Soul is nowhere, about to fall off the end of the world

My Soul is in the dark, in the shadows

My Soul is cast adrift, without direction

My Soul is maybe damned

Then I remember my long dead mother

Just keep on praying, even if you don’t know what you are saying

My Soul hears a tiny tiny voice

My Soul sees a tiny tiny light

My Soul feels a tiny tiny breeze

My Soul catches a warmth coming from nowhere

My Soul is drawn towards something better

My Soul begins to beat stronger

My Soul  my mood lifts

My Soul finds a direction

My Soul begins to hum like a humming bird

My Soul is no longer in the twilight any more

My Soul moves into the light

My Soul sings and smiles

My Soul is free

My Soul feels no more burdens

My Soul is like a dance, moving forward

My Soul is singing and dancing in a field

My Soul is no longer constricted or restricted

My Soul is an acrobat freewheeling without a net

My Soul is doubly free

My Soul My Soul is part of Hope again

My Soul My Soul is part of Love again

My Soul  My Soul is full of Grace

So keep on praying, the Angels are always there

Even if you think all is Lost

My Soul is part of One Soul

Put your Soul back into the Mosaic that is God

For though we are Single we are still part of One

RUSSIANS FIND YOUR SOUL AGAIN

Моя душа ©

Майкл Кейси

Моя Душа – это многое

Моя Душа пуста, ей не хватает Любви

Моя душа дрейфует в поисках гавани

Моя душа сотрясается пустотой и эхом печали.

Моя Душа сбита с пути пустыми обещаниями

Моя душа не имеет руля, дрейфует и раскачивается.

Моя душа нигде, вот-вот упадет на край света.

Моя Душа во тьме, в тени

Моя Душа брошена по течению, без направления

Моя душа, возможно, проклята

Потом я вспоминаю свою давно умершую мать

Просто продолжайте молиться, даже если вы не понимаете, что говорите.

Моя Душа слышит крошечный голосок

Моя Душа видит крошечный крошечный свет

Моя Душа чувствует крошечный ветерок

Моя Душа ловит тепло, приходящее из ниоткуда

Моя Душа тянется к чему-то лучшему

Моя Душа начинает биться сильнее

Моя душа, мое настроение поднимается

Моя душа находит направление

Моя Душа начинает гудеть, как колибри

Моя Душа больше не в сумерках

Моя Душа движется в свет

Моя Душа поет и улыбается

Моя душа свободна

Моя Душа больше не чувствует бремени

Моя Душа, как танец, движется вперед

Моя Душа поет и танцует в поле

Моя Душа больше не скована и не ограничена

Моя Душа — акробат, гуляющий без сети.

Моя Душа вдвойне свободна

Моя душа, моя душа снова является частью надежды

Моя душа, моя душа снова является частью любви.

Моя душа, моя душа полна благодати

Так что продолжайте молиться, Ангелы всегда рядом.

Даже если ты думаешь, что все потеряно

Моя Душа – часть Одной Души

Верните свою Душу в Мозаику, которая есть Бог.

Хотя мы и одиноки, мы все еще являемся частью Одного.

Moya Dusha – eto mnogoye

Moya Dusha pusta, yey ne khvatayet Lyubvi

Moya dusha dreyfuyet v poiskakh gavani

Moya dusha sotryasayetsya pustotoy i ekhom pechali.

Moya Dusha sbita s puti pustymi obeshchaniyami

Moya dusha ne imeyet rulya, dreyfuyet i raskachivayetsya.

Moya dusha nigde, vot-vot upadet na kray sveta.

Moya Dusha vo t'me, v teni

Moya Dusha broshena po techeniyu, bez napravleniya

Moya dusha, vozmozhno, proklyata

Potom ya vspominayu svoyu davno umershuyu mat'

Prosto prodolzhayte molit'sya, dazhe yesli vy ne ponimayete, chto govorite.

Moya Dusha slyshit kroshechnyy golosok

Moya Dusha vidit kroshechnyy kroshechnyy svet

Moya Dusha chuvstvuyet kroshechnyy veterok

Moya Dusha lovit teplo, prikhodyashcheye iz niotkuda

Moya Dusha tyanetsya k chemu-to luchshemu

Moya Dusha nachinayet bit'sya sil'neye

Moya dusha, moye nastroyeniye podnimayetsya

Moya dusha nakhodit napravleniye

Moya Dusha nachinayet gudet', kak kolibri

Moya Dusha bol'she ne v sumerkakh

Moya Dusha dvizhetsya v svet

Moya Dusha poyet i ulybayetsya

Moya dusha svobodna

Moya Dusha bol'she ne chuvstvuyet bremeni

Moya Dusha, kak tanets, dvizhetsya vpered

Moya Dusha poyet i tantsuyet v pole

Moya Dusha bol'she ne skovana i ne ogranichena

Moya Dusha — akrobat, gulyayushchiy bez seti.

Moya Dusha vdvoyne svobodna

Moya dusha, moya dusha snova yavlyayetsya chast'yu nadezhdy

Moya dusha, moya dusha snova yavlyayetsya chast'yu lyubvi.

Moya dusha, moya dusha polna blagodati

Tak chto prodolzhayte molit'sya, Angely vsegda ryadom.

Dazhe yesli ty dumayesh', chto vse poteryano

Moya Dusha – chast' Odnoy Dushi

Vernite svoyu Dushu v Mozaiku, kotoraya yest' Bog.

Khotya my i odinoki, my vse yeshche yavlyayemsya chast'yu Odnogo.

post 4725 on this my main Blogger

well I went back to bed, the noise in my head was too much

managed to sleep for a few more hours

then shoulder pain galore and headache

this is my daily bread for years

yes, like everybody the girl on the bench with the 3 kids

she is having a bad time

money is no use, only love will do

and prayers as well

so say a prayer for her and her family

over in Russia, another mad event

so much blood lost, all in the name of evil

and yes Putin, you should not be in Ukraine either

in usa Looney Tunes in the GOP in USA

MTG should be nowhere near government

Sadly Maga is a Cult and USA and the world suffers

An Act of God might be the only thing that

stops Trump and Putin

So Pray


or maybe Putin and Trump become Tag Team wrestlers or Sumo


which sounds like an idea for a story, as I've just put it on this page

so maybe my next full story will be just that

let me know what you think

Challenged at University

Challenged at University ©

By Michael Casey

We have a  decades running quiz show on tv called University Challenge, where teams from Unis, and don’t you just despise that word “Uni”, where they do a quiz to win a prize. A variant of it was in the Saint Trinians film, which may or may not denote my “intellect”, I’ll just look that word up in the dictionary. My memory of University goes back 50 years maybe, when my brother won a place at Oxford, Queens. A few years later another brother went to Cambridge, Downing. Dad, a blacksmith from County Kerry was very proud. His own teacher had once predicted, Casey one day you will hang.

So that is the background, I can remember my eldest brother with afro permed hair, gold rimmed octagonal glasses and flares. I can also remember him buying a tricycle for the youngest sister who was 13 years younger. Now he looks like a mixture of Sting and Harrison Ford. So that’s the then, but what of now?

Don’t come near me with that poster you are invading my space, don’t talk to me about that god, because I don’t want my values polluted by your pagan ways, or by your Christian/Jewish/Islamic/Anythingist ways. I just want to stay in my bubble, and not be hurt or misunderstood by anybody or anything. And take those statues down they are just so so, the haircuts on those busts offend me. The length on the trousers on that statue is just so offensive.

That statue of David is offensive, nobody has a body that perfect, can we have that removed from the university too. And no Sarah doesn’t want it moved to her bedroom so she can dream the perfect dream with the perfect man. That’s a sexist thing to say she be damaged for the rest of her life, I think she’ll sue the University. She has American friends after all and they really do know about suing. And she’s a lesbian too, so she’ll sue twice over.

Can we have a non-alcoholic bar too, people whose faith bans them from taking alcohol should be able to chill and relax in a bar, but a bar without any alcohol in. It’s a human right to be free to relax, and no just going to a café is NOT good enough, you are lecturing us now, invading our free space, we feel intimidated by you saying we should not be in a bar if we don’t like alcohol. That’s just non alcoholist, we’ll get the union to start a strike of lectures over it.

And the lectures are too long, and too hard, and we don’t like the syllabus either.  The books are too heavy too. Switch subjects or buy a Kindle. That’s a sexist thing to say, you are inferring women are too weak to study, I’m a man anyway, can’t you tell by my short hair. But women have short hair too nowadays, that’s a sexist remark inferring that I’m a lesbian, but I’m a man. Or is it some cross-gender insult?

And on and on it goes. Am I just an old fart, ok I just smell like an old fart. But when my brothers went to Uni, when my sister went to Uni, see I held my nose so I couldn’t smell my old fart, and I used “Uni”, when they went they went to study. My other brother the Downing Cambridge one, he was a miner for a year before he went up to Cambridge, he didn’t complain about the hard work and broken finger nails.

When you are at University you meet lots of people and exchange views and food. Like scrambled egg with Heinz beans in, 40 years ago nobody at Cambridge had even dreamt of it. Nowadays people would complain that it was mixing food groups, and the pollution afterwards would be unacceptable, so a petition would be started over beans and eggs.

Especially as the eggs were produced in inhumane circumstances, I said circumstances. Innuendo is definitely a big big NO NO, though having a big big  NO NO might in itself be classed as something worthy of applause 40 years ago but now everybody would run for sanctuary in the church the haven of safe place.   Once there all religious objects would be thrown out of the church as they invaded the safe space for the religiously inarticulate.

All of which makes me sad so I’ll make my daily pilgrimage to Aldi, though I’ll be condemned for using the phrase pilgrimage, especially by those of no faith at all. Dave Allen and Lenny Bruce are up in Heaven crying they are glad they are dead, modern University students are challenged, challenged because they have no sense of humour and want to choose what they should know without any relation to common sense.

Life involves everybody and everything, so be catholic in your tastes, and yes I chose the word catholic on purpose just to see who many ignorant comments I’d get about its meaning in this context. Have friends of all faiths and of none, try different foods and learn about all kinds of everything. Then and only then will you be a rounded person, I’ll get complaints about being fattish now. Even try scrambled eggs with Heinz beans in, but do open he windows first. Don’t paint yourself into a corner, because it’s just your own mind that gets smaller, which reminds me of that statue of David in the winter.
