San Francisco International Airport - true-to-you.net
29 July 2015

On leaving the US on 27 July I flew from San Francisco International Airport to London on flight BA 284.

At 2:30 in the afternoon I went through the usual airport security procedure including the stand-up 'scanner', and all was well - no bleeps and nothing unusual.

Before I could gather my belongings from the usual array of trays I was approached by an "airport security officer" who stopped me, crouched before me and groped my penis and testicles. He quickly moved away as an older "airport security officer" approached.

The officer who sexually assaulted me was identified as the General Manager On Duty. Luckily I was accompanied by two members of British Airways Special Services, who were horrified at the sexual attack and suggested that I lodge a complaint. I asked if there would be any point in lodging a complaint since, as with any complaint against a figure in "authority", the complaints are simply collected in order to protect the guilty officer should the matter go further. The British Airways Special Services employees assured me that a complaint was worthwhile, and so I filed the appropriate information. However, before doing so, the guilty "officer" was confronted, and the conversation went thus:

You have just sexually groped this man.
Officer: That's just your opinion.
What you have done is illegal.
Officer: That's just your opinion.
You have no right to do what you have just done.
Officer: That's just your opinion.

Apart from "that's just your opinion", he would not comment, even though, since the penis and testicles were mine and no one else's, then my opinion must surely have some meaning. But, of course, what the airport security officer was saying was: your opinion will never count in the eyes of the law. The words "that's just your opinion" volunteered themselves from this 'officer's' mouth before he had even heard the question. He knew he could be confronted, but he also knew that he could never be challenged (even though the entire incident is most certainly on CCTV camera).

In the interests of imperishable bureaucracy my submitted complaint against this 'officer' will obviously be either unread or ignored because, as we all know, on matters of officialism it is not possible to be pleasantly surprised by anything at all. However, what is clear is that, should you find yourself traveling through San Francisco International Airport, you should expect sexual abuse from the so-called 'security officers' who, we are unconvincingly warned, are acting only for our security.

Do people have minds?

Not often, but I'm totally with BrummieBoy on this one. He makes eloquent intelligent points. Yeah, it's Mozza, and people say 'oh no, what's happened this time....always him' etc etc. Mozza wouldn't make this up. Whatever you think of him, he perceived/experienced it happened, so much so he took great offence and made a complaint. Because he's famous and regarded as 'a bit of a moaning twat' his experience and complaint are diminished somewhat.

He is a human, protected by all the same rights as everyone. The fact he's famous may actually draw more attention to these 'security' (do what the f*** I want) goons (of course not all, but certainly a blatant abuse of power by some).

Benny TBB- shame on you! I've commented on your clever lyrics before, and though I don't agree with most of what you say, you provide entertainment, and I reckon you have your moments in some eloquent and lucid well- thought arguments (when you want). But c'mon, I thought you were better than some of the cheap shots you given on this thread. You're better than that, surely! You care, you care, you care.

You do realise how unintentionally hilarious your riposte is? Yes, Zepp were magpies, most egregiously with 'Taurus' by Spirit from which they sourced 'Stairway To Heaven'. However, "talent borrows, genius steals". To claim Morrissey is 'original' is beyond ridiculous. Clearly you have no idea where he lifted many of his lyrics from but "there's always someone, somewhere with a big nose who knows". If you were even remotely interested in his fascinating Career, then you'd be aware of this, that he was a magpie from the start. Or you could ask Sheila Delaney when you get the Ouija Board out. *rollseyes*

Aleister Crowley impersonating 'The Ghost Of BrummieBoy'
on the shores of Loch Ness.[Astral Plane]

I listened to that Taurus track, and there is one arpeggio in the middle of the song that resembles the beginning notes of Stairway To Heaven. I expected to be shocked, because they've used at least ten other songs where you really could hear the original. To turn that Taurus song into STH wasn't at all egregious. Something like "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" which they might have thought was a public domain folk song, was much more blatant.
I have stacks of guitar magazines with Jimmy Page interviews so I can't find the exact source for you but Jimmy once said about their creative process that they would sometimes start by jamming on old blues and folk material, with the intention of changing it substantially in the process, but "Robert would forget to change the words."

Over time they have given credit in many cases where they'd have gotten away with it if Robert had changed the words. I think their power was such at the time, because they had the means to fight both in the courtroom and on the street, so that many people probably felt it just wasn't worth going after them.

I don't think they ever redid anything that they didn't improve upon, and they took blues-based rock as far as it could go. Stevie Ray Vaughan? gtfo, you Hendrix impersonator. Whitesnake? "I fell off my bed laughing when I saw he was using a violin bow" - JP "David Cover version?" - RP

Led Zeppelin became uncool to like because their mass appeal meant that they did not attract the same audience who were into Iggy Pop and the New York Dolls, but you're right, their power was and is undeniable.

When I first saw this page with the sources for Morrissey's lyrics http://www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~moz/nicked.htm I was more shocked than when I realized Led Zeppelin might have stolen some inspiration. If Led Zeppelin hadn't done these numbers I'm not sure I'd know who Willie Dixon is.




This is egregious theft of melody with a really genius inversion of the lyrical concept. From "Only To Other People" to "Girl Least Likely To" is pretty clever, but whoever claimed credit for the melody is a thief.

Is Miss Mozzarella joking? Meat eating & pedophilia are both about preying on vulnerable meat. How is that not perfectly logical & obvious to Miss Mozzarella? Does she think scammers go after people with cognitive defects or just the smart people? I don't believe Miss Mozzarella is really a "Miss." She's probably married to a flabby uggo because she was desperate for a man to help her make babies so she wouldn't feel alone. Am I right?

There is no level to which Moz won't stoop to get attention. After his comments comparing eating meat to pedophilia, I will never take seriously anything he says about sexual assault.

Zeppelin [principally] pilfered the Mississippi Delta. Morrissey and Marr pilfered everything. From Can (I Want More=How Soon Is Now) to recycled Rory Gallagher riffs. and on and on. But Morrissey also added on another layer of grotesque plagiarism which was to appropriate genuine Radical Outsider Art from the Existentialist/Post-Modernist Europe Project and layer it on as a USP for the rather Obvious Troll Is Obvious musical underpinnings by Marr. To call such collages 'original' is to abuse language itself. It's only in later years that they both fessed up to Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants and only then because the Interwebz allowed people like us "with a big nose, who knows" to strike back at the wholesale fraudulent purveyance of an utterly bogus Authenticity Script in both music and lyrics.

The 'arpeggio' you mention from 'Taurus' is a Satanic Invocation, without it 'Stairway To Heaven' is completely meaningless. Randy California, who composed this, was swept out to sea whilst trying to save his teenage son from a freak wave. Robert Plant lost his son to a freak virus yet cannot make the karmic connection of how his bad faith in siding with Jimmy Page completely poisons the Zepp legacy. We speak as perhaps the world's most fervent admirers of their canon. "Talent borrows, genius steals" but....Love is The Law. Love under Will. We have met Robert and Jimmy and they are fully aware that we intend to hex them as we have hexed Morrissey, Marr and Lydon. And Leonard Cohen. And....well,...everybody really! It's quite a tiring project debunking the nonsenses of Pop and Rock but...somebody had to do it.

Zeppelin sold their catalogue to Atlantic aeons ago for $25 million with these hidden legal bombs. Howard Stern nailed them. They too are Crank-Frauds. Everybody is. Except 'BrummieBoy' but he....died....however,his Ghost will Arise....Etc.

When Randy California's estate finishes suing Zeppelin, Dolly Parton is waiting in the wings to sing "Bitch Better Have My Money!". [joke: but why didn't Zepp sue Dolly? LOL!] The Ghost Of BrummieBoy has recorded a song which uses all the sources, except Zeppelin, in a deliberate provocation towards Page and Plant. But he knows that Bach can't sue him so he doesn't care. It will be total lulz when #VegAnarchyInTheUK *drops*. People close to the project scratch their heads at The War Chart which lists so many targets, Morrissey is the least of it. He's just Exhibit A in the perp walk. BB never gave a f***, but.... he died...his ghost is vengeful and rose again on Santorini to make mischief music/sex magick. Everybody Knows what's coming. Cohen will flee to Hydra and hope to escape The Judgement, but.....'sigh'..... Let's listen to Dolly

Yes, because fondling Morrissey's junk is standard procedure after all. TSA needs to release the video which, of course, they will never do. Someone leak it. Those goons at TMZ will probably get the video eventually.

[Layne]

For your own sanity I suggest you don't spend a minute on this vile creature called derek17. He has the audacity to call his arguments logical.


Btw what in gods name does me claiming the feminists wants equality and not power, construed as me being a supporter of the KKK or the black panthers. You Derek are one of the most annoying people on here



Coward. Present your arguments for your statement

I asked you if you support those groups, I didn't say you did. I was curious based on the fact that you support feminism, which is equivalent to those groups.

If you knew how to read we might be able to have a discussion. Alas, no. Instead of replying to what is being written, you hurl dull and desperate personal insults. And then I see in your previous post that you have asked someone to "present [their] arguments for [their] statement" which is interesting because you have chosen not to respond intelligently to everything I have attempted to discuss with you. In fact you have failed to do exactly what you ask of others and are the initiator in the truculent nature of the discussion yet it is you throwing your toys around, projecting, and crying for Mummy in whatever your native tongue might be.

Take your own advice and either present your arguments for your statement or shut up.

 

[Layne]

No, its not. And the proof that its not is your overly graphic description which has no bearing on anything discussed here, to try to create a strawman argument. Morrissey uses shocking statements to draw attention to himself, and you are doing the same thing. You are a disgusting little troll. You were probably masturbating when you typed that. Wanking knob gobbler.

That's the analogy I was attempting to draw. Scantily clad women also "draw attention" to themselves, as Morrissey likes to do. Just because of their reputation for doing so, it doesn't mean they cannot be done wrong, in this case sexually assaulted, by others, and it doesn't mean their claims cannot ever be legitimate. So what do you take issue with?

 

[Layne]

Exactly. And publicity is what it's all about. Moz cries wolf so often that it's just natural that people would start doubting things he says. And as I mentioned earlier, considering that he has likened eating meat to pedophilia, I do not believe that sexual assault is something he takes seriously and is willing to use when necessary to gain attention.

It is Morrissey who is guilty of trivializing sexual assault, not the people calling him out on it or refusing to believe him.

Thank you, Tyanmuna. I will take your suggestion. I am not here often enough to sort out the vile creatures from the rest of the population here. Quite a disturbing troll indeed.

Tynamuna is more concerned with lashing out at those who have differing opinions than debating the topic at hand.

You are presumably here to carry on discussion, not to judge others and complain. If you don't like the idea of discussing potentially controversial and heated topics, please opt out next time rather than whinging and revealing your insecurities. Remember it is your choice to be here, your choice to read the posts, and your choice to reply to them. If you can't handle it, maybe you should re-evaluate what you're doing here.

Derek17, perhaps my intent was not clear enough for you? Let me be more direct. I do not wish to converse with you. I am here to have a discussion with people of my own choosing. Just because different people post here does not mean I am obligated to converse all of with them. I do not find you a worthwhile person with whom to converse.

I am exercising what I define as my choices, not what you define as my choices. You are creepy. You seem to take delight in describing violent rape, which is not the topic here. You are behaving like stalker when you address someone you know does not wish to speak to you and dictate what you think should be someone else's terms of participation. You have control issues and when that is mixed with your apparent sexual perversion it makes for a very dangerous combination. I do not wish to know you.

Please do not address me. I find you hideous and disgusting. You cannot force me or anyone to converse with you. I hope that is clear enough.

I support Feminisim. Dragging In radical groups to the discussion for shock value has nothing to do with it. The KKK and Black panthers is about different political view than Feminisim and there is no reason to drag them in rather than hoping I slip up and say something controversial. There is no conversation with you since you clearly are delusional. You believe Feminisim is redundant since we are equal and you believe that Feminisim is about grabbing the power. I say that it's about getting some equality in this world, playing at least in the same ball park. From women not being allowed to drive in some countries to the film business in Hollywood women are treated with sexism. Current example is the shit storm and death a female artist got after she draw female character less sexually and more like the male game character. But I guess there is no getting to you. Charles Manson probably is standing behind you and saying "good boy you are on your way to becoming a part of the family, now to step 2"

You say I'm not able to hold a coversation and resort to insult. You have insulted me numerous time just in this post. That anon accussed me of being a KKK supporter. I simply asked them what their arguments they have that makes them think I'm a KKK supporter so I can give them a rebuttal. You have never yourself gived me a source for your claims that the patriarch is dead. You haven't giving anything except your own illtought delusional opinions. You are truly a abusive person

So I second Miss mozzarella notion
