EVENT DETAILS:
Please note that the line-up is subject to change and this event is for people over the age of 18.
From Tuesday to Friday this week there will be a rare seven planetary alignment not to be seen again until 2040. Four of the planets – Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Mars – will be visible to the naked eye in the south western sky, weather permitting. Saturn will be harder to see because it will be low in the horizon. You will need a telescope to see Uranus and Neptune.
The alignment of seven planets has been described as a Harmonic Convergence which creates a pathway to the spirit realm, through which evil enters and tries to destroy the world. It appears we have concurrently a convergence of evil invading the Earth.
In the Legend of Korra the eponymous hero chooses to leave open the portals between the material world and the spirit world, allowing a new coexistence of spirits and humans. Who will now save us from the evil twins?
Trump clears the way for increased Russian bombing of Ukraine.

Please contact Mireille Stanton – email: mireille.stanton@gmail.com, Sue Bonnell – 07762 018864, Sara Bromfield – 07986 726309, or Kate Woodhouse – email: katewoodhouse20@gmail.com if you would like to come and for further information.
The post earlier this morning about the planned disbanding of the Parks Police was based on a report in the Richmond Nub News. Cllr Julia Cambridge has replied to this post to the effect that the report was not correct.
‘I attended a specially called meeting of the Safer Parks Police Panel where representatives of both Richmond and Bushy SPPP members were present.
‘We were given an update on the recent news that the Royal Parks Police Units may be disbanded due to lack of funding. Whilst no final decision has been made or given to the police involved it was made clear that difficult decisions might be made and if so they would come ‘in the calendar year’.
‘The petition is still running to stop the cuts and a campaign developing to, as a worst case scenario, press the MET Police leadership to leave a reduced number of specialist police to patrol and look after Richmond and Bushy Parks as part of a force where a few officers from the existing unit are absorbed into the South West Command Unit.’
You can’t check your sources too carefully, even if they are reported in local news outlets!
As previously warned as likely in this blog Richmond and Bushy Parks Safer Parks Panel has been notified by the Met Police that its park force will shut by December 2025. On Friday, 14 February, the panel was also informed that the Royal Parks Police will continue until “at least” 31 March 2025.
This decision seems quite irrational. Will anyone consider a Judicial Review?
Next week is the third anniversary of Putin’s brutal assault on Ukraine. This blog has rarely commented on international politics, but it did so then and has updated at times. It was argued then that Russia had to be stopped. It was not and we are now suffering the consequences. See
Now we have a new realpolitik brought about by an untrustworthy US President. What are his motives? Attempting to bring about a new world order, in which the megalamania of him and the likes of Musk can be given full rein? And perhaps to weaken Europe so the likes of the Baltic States and Greenland are at risk.
Whatever the reasons Europe has experience of appeasement. We cannot afford to allow the US and Russia to climb into bed together without Europe demonstrating firm opposition to selling out Ukraine. In any event this is not solely about Ukraine. The whole of Western Europe is at risk. Can we really still afford to be sharing intelligence with the US, when their President might disclose secrets for his own benefit?
