Symbolism! Dontcha just love it? Even the three-letter abbreviations for
the world's airports convey a resonant message for the goofy
Gaia-worshipers here in Rio de Janeiro for the conference on
"sustainable development" (whatever that may mean). Flights still follow
the old colonial patterns, so it is easier to fly to Rio (GIG from
Madrid (MAD) than from London. Entertainingly, the bag-tag on my
suitcase bore the legend MAD GIG --a deftly synoptic description of the
leftfest on Brazil's once-fashionable coast.
The intended triumph
of the new religion over the old was symbolized by a light-emitting
diode system costing hundreds of thousands of dollars that has turned
the normal floodlighting of the towering statue of Christ the Redeemer
an unpleasant, lurid green, so that He looks like a giant jelly-bean.
Fortunately, Divine intervention (or perhaps the Gore effect) has
smothered the volcanic pinnacle on which the statue stands in
unseasonably dense cloud and pouring rain, rendering this crude but
costly sacrilege altogether invisible. Chalk up ten points to the old
religion. God is not mocked.
Soldiers with sub-machine-guns and -- for some reason -- elephant guns are guarding this extravagantly expensive and contemptibly childish propaganda gesture to make sure no one symbolically reasserts the triumph of the Resurrection by cutting off the unnatural green glow and replacing it with the traditional, glorious white.
Monckton baggage label
The rubbish that litters the streets and even the once-pristine beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema is surely a symbol for the garbage that will soon emerge from the negotiations. One can be confident that it will be garbage, because this year, for the first time, the UN has gone to unprecedented lengths to make sure that no one gets daily-updated versions of the central negotiating text. If somebody hides something, it is because somebody has something to hide.
In a maneuver symbolic of the intended global dictatorship that is the ever-more-openly declared ambition of the world-government wannabes of the UN and of a governing class that has grown impatient of democracy and contemptuous of the mere people, the supposedly "transparent" pointy-heads' conference has been ruthlessly divided into three entirely separate pointy-heads' conferences.
First, symbolic of the grim Communism that will be the ideological mainspring of the exciting, shiny, new dictatorship for which the UN longs, and for which its senior strategists planned at a meeting this time last year at which Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon called for suggestions to put an end to national sovereignty (and hence to democracy), the exhibition area which in earlier UN conferences was adjacent to the main hall where the plenary negotiating sessions took place was set up several miles away in a tent city revealingly called the "People's Congress".
