Hong Kong Disneyland Cast-Members Join Hong Kong Strike, Several HKDL Attractions, Shows and Restaurants Closed Today

That's it, Hong Kong Disneyland Cast-Members go on strike, along with thousands workers all over Hong Kong, including Hong Kong airport where 2300 aviation workers are on strike and 200 flights cancelled because of airport chaos.

From CNN's Ben Westcott: "Hong Kong Disneyland is one of the areas called to go on strike today. Organizers aren't just calling people to strike in Hong Kong's metropolitan centers - they're also calling for a strike in Disneyland. The amusement park is eerily empty today, with only about 50 people milling around outside the park and about a dozen going in. It's a far cry from the park's usual long lines, which can stretch to an hour's wait on busy days - especially on sunny summer days like today, when children are on vacation. Some attractions are shut at Hong Kong Disneyland today. Inside the park, signs notify visitors that some of the attractions and rides are closed today - though this may also be due to renovations. Food carts and restaurants are shuttered. Even "It's a Small World" is closed."



Indeed, as many HKDL cast-members are joining today's major Hong Kong strike, several rides in Hong Kong Disneyland are closed today. Hong Kong Disneyland official website has posted this message: "Hong Kong Disneyland and Inspiration Lake Recreation Centre are open today, though the opening of certain facilities might be affected. Thank you for your understanding".



HKDL official App list these as "closed today": Big Grizzly Mountain, Mystic Manor, RC Racer, It's a Small World, Jungle Cruise, Tarzan Treehouse, Adventureland Rafts to the Treehouse, Hong Kong Disneyland Railroad, Jedi Training and others, and main shows like "Mickey and the Wondrous Book" and "Moana: a Homecoming Celebration" are also cancelled. Some of the park restaurants like Explorer's Club, River View Cafe, Sea Breeze Bar are also closed. So, with all these closed there was really no point to go the park and Mickey and the gang probably must have feel alone today. If you're planning to go to HKDL tomorrow, better check what attractions will be open before going...



Now, There is something important that you need to know and that you’ll read nowhere else, to understand what is happening currently in Hong Kong and the world and in the weeks to come. As it happen that i had made studies of Chinese Energetic Medicine ( also known as Acupuncture ) in a previous life, here is some teaching from it: Since a few days, there has been a change of energy as we enter in the “energy of the Autumn” which is the METAL element. Like each year between the end of July and the beginning of August the “metal” energy ( from the five elements as defined in Chinese energetic medicine ) enters in action for three months.

The metal energy feeds the lungs and the large intestine and in human being life rules the age between 50 and 68 or so. But there is something else : as my acupuncturist teacher - who was a genius - teached me long ago the "real destruction is the metal”. What it means is that it’s the moment of the year where THOUGHTS of destruction pop up in human’s minds. Most of the big wars started during the metal season like World War II, or the Koweit invasion by Saddam Hussein, and as the metal energy rules until the end of October, it can happen after August, like Sept 11 which happened also during the metal energy period. Interestingly, because the metal energy IS the real destruction, in ancient China they were keeping the prisoners for death penalty until the fall to execute them because they were considering - and they were right - that the fall and its metal energy period was the right time to execute someone.


This year the metal energy is supposed to start on August 5 but a few days before you can usually feel it. It’s also why there was two mass shootings Saturday in the U.S, seven bombs in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, etc… What is really important to watch is what will happen in the next two weeks, specially in Hong Kong as until the next full moon we are in the period called “the rise of the energy” which happen each time a new energy is launched, i.e the moment where it can be the most violent. Watch closely what Beijing and HK government will decide in these two weeks as i can tell you they will be tempted to go up for force measures.

The metal energy rules also power, and especially financial power, that’s why most of the stock exchanges crashs also happen during the season of the metal ( like in 1929 or 2008 ). And we better hope that temperatures will not rise excessively in the next three months as in this case the hot temperatures ( heat is “fire” ) during the “metal” season creates what is called “a fire of the metal”, meaning that it’s even more destructive. We had this in Paris 15 years ago or so, they were riots in Paris suburbs during three weeks and during these three weeks the rioters spent their time to put on fire almost everything in METAL ( cars, buses, warehouses, bus stop shelters etc… ). The “fire of the metal” which was in the air made them wanted to put the fire everywhere, or to fight with anything made from metal, some were even throwing cast iron radiators from their building roof on the police down there! After three weeks, the French government decided that it was enough and decided a cover few. But we were already at the end of October and i knew that the winter energy was going to start in the next days, and winter energy is the "water element". And, in the energies hierarchy, “the water extinguish the fire” in the mind as it does in material world. And it’s exactly what happened, three days later there was no more riots, not specially because of the cover few but because the THOUGHT had changed in rioters mind for the peaceful water energy instead than the destructive one of the metal energy.

All this to say that you need to watch what is going to happen not only in Hong Kong but in the rest of the world for weeks to come as things could get awry pretty quickly ( but of course specially in Hong Kong ). And also in your mind, if you get angry and want to kill someone, that also will be because of the Metal energy ruling in master until November 5 this year. So, cool down!
