Sycamore Gap Update

 
See here for essential background: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2023/09/sycamore-gap.html.
Since reporting on this tragic incident I have received a lot of peer review making me aware of some strange anomalies connected with it. Firstly, the cutting looks like a professional job. A white line was painted around the trunk of the tree to guide the placement of the saw. There was also not much sawdust, indicating the vandal knew how to handle a chainsaw. Amateurs tend to make several cuts to get it right, which releases more sawdust. Travis Walton himself couldn't have done a better job. Also, it took place almost exactly on the second anniversary of the shooting of the white stag. This was an incident in Bootle, Merseyside in which a stag was seen running along the town's streets. The animal was completely white; caused by leucism, a condition similar to albinism. White stags are sacred animals in Celtic and Anglo-Saxon mythology. In CS Lewis' The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the four main characters find their way home from the land of Narnia by following one. It is often seen on heraldry and this is why there are so many pubs called The White Hart; "hart" being an old word for a stag. The RSPCA advised everybody to leave it alone knowing that, after a while, if it wasn't harassed it would calm down and find its way back out into the countryside; but instead the police shot it. The local force said: "There was no option to let the deer wander as it could be a danger to motorists and members of the public in the area, particularly as the hours of darkness approached. As a result a decision was made in the early evening to euthanize the deer." For me and many other people, this incident and its heartbreaking conclusion felt like an act of deliberate desecration and vainglory. The forces of global authoritarian government deliberately destroying an innocent and blessed symbol of indigenous British culture. Two years later, have they done the same thing again? Somebody suggested this was retaliation for destroying the Georgia Guidestones, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2023/02/would-real-rc-christian-please-stand-up.html. That happened on July the 6th last year. We should make a note to see if anything happens two years afterwards, on July the 6th 2024. I connected the two incidents myself in my poem The Stag and the Stones, see: https://hpanwo-bb.blogspot.com/2022/07/the-stag-and-stones-poem.html.
