lurking jericho beach backstory
jericho beach counterintelligence hostel,
when I stayed there in ninty or ninty one, they had a deal where you could volunteer for cleaning duties to reduce the fee.
I did it one day, they gave me the woman's washroom to clean. I thought, how sweet there will be next to nothing to do.
I opened the door, stopped in the threshold and beheld a sow sty. what a mess, it can not be described
toilets were plugged with water and other bodily fluid backing up and flowing all over the floor.
there was what looked to be lichen growing on the shower curtains, it was dried out dirt flaking off as paint would from a wall
the only thing clean, spotless in fact, was the wall mirror above the sinks.
while I was mopping a female came in and mummbled something to the point that she was the one who plugged the toilet and thought she might offer to help, she didn't look like she would be much help, I told her I was taking care of it and she went somewhere else.
I cleaned up took a last look at the mirror, shook my head in wonder, went and had a shower in the cleanliness of the men's bath room and then went out for the day.
how this could be used in a gothic fiction.
a person is staying at the Jericho beach backpack hostel in vancouver
one of the deals at the hostel allows a person staying there to do some cleaning chores in the hallways kitchens and bathrooms in exchange for a nights rent
the person gets on the list for these chores and gets the woman's washroom to clean.
he gets the mop and bucket from one of the staff finds the room and begins to mop the floors of water from a backed up toilet. a young female guest of the hostel comes in to the bath room mumbling to her self about helping to clean up the mess from the overflowing toilet she claims to have caused. he tells her he is taking care of it and she leaves.
what he dosnt know is she was part of a set up by csis to entrap him and she had some charges against her dropped for taking part in the operation. over the next few years they recreate the situation with other females who have charges dropped against them for their part in the operation. later when they start a street theatre operation against him they use directed radio wave tech so he becomes violent and attacks someone not connected to the csis operation. then as a back story they have these other female surveillance role players come forward with their stories of past incidents of violence they had reported but we're not believed about at the time.
what they don't have intelligence on is ...

landmark--condominium
this summer of 2015 a new building rose at yonge and bloor to a hight where it became visible from the grounds of ramsden park. one now has a landmark of how close one is to the business of civilization while visiting the park.
seaton house--blood money
that time when I had been staying at seaton house, later when I moved into a sort of rooming house one of the people who oversaw the place asked me to have a blood test done so if there was any thing that happened like I passed out or died they had some evidence if it was a medical problem or other
I went back to seaton house and they took blood to test for hepatitis etc.
when I returned a week or two later for the results a nurse looked for my file and couldn't find the results in it so he took more blood the results for that test came back ok. at the time I thought it strange but then everything about seaton house was a little strange, something similar to a gothic novel.
( where and how will they get blood on their hands now.)
how this could be used in a gothic fiction. a person goes to seaton house for a blood test. the asian doctor who takes the blood sample gives him a strange look when it's his turn to have the test.
two weeks later he gets a call to come in for the results which they can't give over the phone. he gets there and the results can't be found and the doctor who took the blood last time is there and is looking worried. he says he came in for the results and they search for them, but there are none as if the blood hadn't been taken but never tested, though he was recorded as having had blood work done. so they take more blood and he gets those results in a couple of weeks.
implausible reasons for the missing blood test results.
i: the doctor was told to hand the blood over to csis for some reason.
ii: the doctor sold the blood to organized crime, a part of society well represented at seaton house. they would use it to incriminate the person the blood came from or sell it to others as a clean bloodtest.
iii: it was sold by the doctor to a local satanic cult for use in some occult rituals. more than enough of that going on in yorkgentle
iv: or the doctor had a blood hunger and drank the blood. he had an evil face.

negros lurking on the threshhold
when csis comes stalking, with video at YouTube.
a targeting incident with a couple of the regular negro harraseurs has occurred since i published the post about the starbucks and subway incidents with the negresses. they had two males cross my path on monday december 14 as I entered the bay tower at yonge and bloor.
the above incident reminded me of two more stalked by negros incidents of the last twentyfive years.
both involve a negro on the door step making a request for help. both happened at properties owned by the crc, one at sixteen chandos avenue and one at their shourbourne house next door to our lady of lourde catholic school.
in the first incident I was alone at the house all the other tenants being away for the evening when the door bell rang or there was a knock. I opened the door there was a negro dressed in an expensive looking winter coat he had a bag maybe it was leather, he said he was with the brazilian soccer team, his car had broken down and he needed money for the tow truck I think it was seventy dollars or somethin near that. he assured me his coach could vouch for him meaning I would get my money back, I'm thinking why dosnt he ask his coach or other players for the money, said I couldn't help and shut the door. by the expression on his face he seemed affected strangely by that as if something wasn't going the way he expected.
in the second case the door bell rang and when i opened the door a short portly young male negro was at the door soaking wet and singing, on his feet were shoes with holes, he asked for a pair of shoes or some money, i told him i couldn't help at that time i only had one pair myself. closed the door went back to my room.
I am now thinking the first guy may of been some kind of set up in which the passing of money would of been seen as a drug sale maybe something to do with the sextrade, which they, csis or informants for csis, maybe organized crime, would of been photographing as evidence. the look on his face was very much along the lines as if he had given some prearranged script the person he was talking to would know him as the expected person and when i didn't say and react as expected he gave that wait a second what's happening here look.
the second guy could of been the same thing, some kind of set up with either organized crime or csis was using him as an informant. but as they say these events happen and then we have an inclination to see more things going on than can be attributed to the agent so it may of been nothing to do with my harasseurs from csis and organized crime. yes I haven't forgotten the deamons and their worshippers, but I don't think it was them in those two incidents.

lurking negro--lurking repost
originally posted on november 8, 2014
That time I was on the subway headed east, I was sitting by a door and at one station when the doors opened a white dog on a leash came in ahead of the person at the other end of the leash. The dog looked at my lap and jumped up on me as though it wished to get away from the person holding the leash, a young negress, who when she saw the dog on my lap said with a shocked tone "oh I'm so sorry he's never done that before, get off his lap oh I'm so sorry." She and the dog moved away a few seats.
How this could be used as an incident in a fiction. A person on one of the ttc subway lines gets a surprise when the train stops at one of the stations and a negress with a white dog on a leash enters. The dog takes one look at his lap and jumps up on his clean pants. The negress gasps and yanks the dogs leash while at the same time telling it to get off his lap and apologizing to him, saying that's so strange he's never jumped up on anyone's lap before.
A couple of weeks later he is sitting by the door in a cafe on yonge street between bloor and Asquith. The door opens and a negress comes in and sits on the floor across from where he is sitting. She is unkempt as though she's been sleeping in an alley and starts talking under her breath about needing a home and could he take her home with him, she would behave herself and not bother him, if she followed him home would he take her in. she goes on talking while sprawled on the floor near the door while the guy who had the dog jump on his lap and other customers watch her until one of the staff comes and asks her to leave. That is when he wonders if that is the same negress who's dog jumped on his lap in the subway and if that incident was planned with this second event.
reposting the above incident because of a recent post I made about a security guard who was herding a young female out of the eaton centre . writing that incident out has made me think of certain similarities between the two .
the events of the above fictionalized incidents on the subway and in the cafe happened as separate incidents further apart in time than I made it in the notes . of the dog that jumped on my lap I'm not entirely convinced it was an agent for csis or organized crime , and that also makes the negress with the dog more than likely an unrelated coincident with the second negress at the cafe and not another show in the toronto street theatre I've experienced since arriving in 1991 .
but the second part about the negress on the floor in the starbucks at the old britnell bookstore on yonge street between bloor and asquith happened the way I describe . the whole thing had the form and content of classic csis street theatre as did the incident at the eaton centre .
both the eaton and starbucks incidents have a young female most likely from the sex trade sent to solicit me while another person was sent to get rid of her and ask me what she had said . all this while nearby a surveillance operation was likely under way . by whom ? police or some organized crime group .
something about writing the other incident down has made me think he was not just checking what was going on at the front entrance to his cafe but was involved in some way with the incident .
the negress in the cafe seemed to be recruited from the prostiution ranks of organized crime but if they were working together that would seem to involve the starbucks employee in organized crime .
which leaves me with the scenario they were both csis assets enlisted to participate in a incident related to the one at the eaton centre more than a decade before this one . unless one was organized crime and the other was csis , but which one is which one .
or it's the third possibility of the neural pathways of my brain are too close together and thoughts are leaking from one area to another causing me to make schizophrenic connections between clearly unconnected events . yeah that's got to be it .

rose macaulay--ruins of palmyra
the ruins of palmyra at the national trust and more at guttae.
"Arab poets were seized by the same emotion at the sight of ruin. Even the Bedouins, writes a tenth-century Spanish-Arab poet, wept over the ruins of the desert camps abandoned by the tribes; he himself addresses a compassionate poem to the ruined and deserted stones. Fallen greatness, desertion, vanished glory, the whole ruinous climate, were dear both to Arabs and Spaniards. Modern Arabs have lost this sense: to them an ancient ruin is either a sheltering place or a quarry for stones."
