Two Burrells, Two Burro’s and a Closing Argument


It’s pretty rare to see two notable persons passing away on the same day who have the same last name and are unrelated.  Of course it can happen often enough with related individuals ie: in a car accident together.  Note the following info on two notable persons added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2025 site yesterday.  

  • Anne Burrell (September 21, 1969 – June 17, 2025) 55, chef and tv personality… 
  • Charles Burrell (October 4, 1920 – June 17, 2025) 104, classical and jazz bass player.

As I often state in my posts— the inner twin world have a tendency to create clusters in groups of three or more, and when two crop up and not a third, this is a prompt for us to locate the third (or more) in the cluster.  So in this case we’re looking for a third notable person with the surname Burrell, and Wikipedia does have a Burrell surname page listing Notable persons with the surname.  It’s also interesting to note that the list provided is in alphabetical order according to their first names,  and so Anne and Charles are pretty close.  I consider this to communicate to us that we need to limit our search to investigating those listed in between A and C— first names beginning with “B”.  There were two, butt one stood out:  

  • Boz Burrell (1 August 1946 – 21 September 2006) English musician

WHOA!! He died on Anne Burrell’s birthday!!  Generating a “September 21(x2)” pattern cluster.  

And their surnames contain a cryptic “burro Elle (French for “her”)” … an English/French combination that’s a typical inner twin influence, the translation of which is “her burro”, which ties into my previous post where “donkey/ass” had cropped up on following the leads.  And /or it can also communicate  “bur Elle” —“her prickly seed/thorn”.  

According to the names etymology, it comes from French “Burel” , a variant of which is “Bureau”.  I can understand “wool” being associated with “prickly”… people, likely the poor who could not afford soft merino wool, stopped wearing the cheaper coarse woolen underwear a long time ago in favour of other softer more affordable materials that came on the market ie: cotton.    

Since the word bureau is a variant of burel… and because it’s an English word, note the etymology: 

bureau(n.)

… from French bureau (plural bureaux) "office; desk,…  from burel "coarse woolen cloth" (as a cover for writing desks), Old French diminutive of bure "dark brown cloth," which is perhaps either from Latin burrus "red" (see burro) or from Late Latin burra "wool, shaggy garment".  

WOW,… so burro actually is connected… who would have figured?!   Note the etymology of burro: 

burro(n.)

"donkey," 1800, from Spanish burrico "donkey," from Late Latin burricus "small, shaggy horse," probably from burrus "reddish-brown," from Greek pyrros"flame-colored, yellowish-red," from pyr (genitive pyros) "fire" (from PIE root *paewr- "fire"). Or, for its shaggy hair, from Late Latin burra "wool," a word of unknown origin

As to the “September 21(x2)” pattern cluster, this is yet another prompt, and in this case, third September 21.  This requires us to use the formula as per usual, so going to the September 21st wikipedia page, we find that there’s only two, butt again one stands out: 

I chose him over the other because of the following excerpt from his wiki page… what occurred to make him a notable person: 

He is best known for performing a surgery to remove his own appendix—an auto-appendectomy—after he began suffering from appendicitis

He was in a position (in a remote area) that forced him to operate on himself!!  What stood out to me about this, is that just the other day, I talked about this very thing.  Long story short, I’m a self representative (not by choice), in a civil litigation, and am in the middle of writing out my Closing Arguments.  Due to the complexity of the case, the Judge wanted us to put Closing Arguments in writing.  Ms. Reid, who is the Lawyer for the Respondent (Cathy Bennett— my ex-partner of 27 years), was to submit her arguments first and then I two weeks later.  Of course much of her submissions I’m quite sure were to ruffle my feathers.  This argument below by Ms. Reid, I took great offence to and so addressed it.  In particular making reference my position as victim and self representative party: 

Ms. Reid: 

Ms. Ocean made a number of statements in her affidavit evidence and submissions with a great deal of certainty as if undeniable truths. She asked her questions, attempting to give evidence in the form of direct and cross examination, in the same assertive manner. She would at times repeat what she "heard" the witnesses say, only to be corrected that what she was quoting was not in fact what was said. She hears only her version.

 As to my response to #10 of Ms. Reid’s Post Hearing Submissions:

If I wrote and spoke assertively and with confidence it’s because I was speaking from the position of TRUTH.  Ms. Reid has objection to this.  If a rape victim speaks with certainty about the details of her rape, it is abhorrent for the opposition to then try to twist her confidence to indicate that the rape could not possibly have happened.  It is not an easy task, in fact… it’s horrific,  being victim and self represented party.   


In a section of COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS OF NOVA SCOTIA, entitled: Professional Standards and Guidelines Regarding Treating Self and Family Members, it states: 


Preamble

Whenever a physician treats someone with whom he or she has a personal relationship, there is a risk that the relationship will affect the physician’s ability to provide good-quality, clinically objective care.  Similar issues exist when physicians engage in self-treatment.

Providing appropriate medical care within the context of a personal relationship is problematic because of the difficulty in defining and maintaining appropriate boundaries. https://cpsns.ns.ca/resource/treating-self-and-family-members/

There is no doubt in my mind, that being under similar duress as a Physician having to operate on herself, that my ability as an injured party to then self represent, HAS, on many occasions affected my ability to provide appropriate input meeting Court Standards.  


The analogy of comparing myself to a surgeon operating on oneself, breaks down when considering that unlike a surgeon who is qualified, I have no expertise as a Lawyer and nor can I claim to even know the civil rules and procedures, and all else that litigants gain by years of formal training and then being mentored on the job.   And making things worse, is our adversarial system that is promoted as being fair, and  where justice prevails.  


We would not put a 200 pound fully trained 6 foot tall male with a 75 inch reach in the boxing ring with a 125 pound untrained 5 foot tall woman, with a 63 inch reach, and call it fair!!  On that note, I take great offence to Ms. Reid’s interpretations.  


I also remind My Lady that not long ago, Canada enforced the Death Penalty, indicating very clearly that our Legal System is continually in a flux of change.  This is a great source of pride for the majority of Canadians, religious and non religious alike. 


The following excerpts from a Statement made by the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs on October 10, 2023, and printed on the Global Affairs Canada web site.   


“Not only is it incompatible with human rights but it can also lead to irreversible injustice when innocent people are executed. Additionally, with many justice systems engaging in discriminatory prosecutions, it can lead to targeting of marginalized communities and of individuals who oppose autocratic rule, including political opponents and human rights defenders.

Canada also works closely with the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty, the International Commission Against the Death Penalty and the Alliance for Torture-Free Trade, all of which aim to abolish the use of the death penalty, torture and other cruel and degrading punishments.”   

https://www.canada.ca/en/global-affairs/news/2023/10/statement-on-world-day-against-the-death-penalty.html

As a human rights defender, I most certainly can make the claim that the above section speaks to the injustice whereby Self Represented Parties is now the norm.  AND, think about what this means for the Victim/Self Represented Party who is forced to battle against a barrage of false allegations in a civil case where she feels threatened and nowhere to turn for protection… only her voice— this is MY position.  I AM the victim and Ms. Bennett and others who deliberately conspire with her and certain others unwittingly, are the perpetrators.  


Experts claim that there are 4 reactions to trauma/abuse— fight, flight, freeze and fawn.   I can tell you, from my own perspective, that in the last few years I have experienced each and every one of those reactions.  There is another survival mechanism in traumatic situations that are long standing that I can attest to— “numbing”.  When I finally decided to FIGHT, I would never have made it to this point without the ability to NUMB myself to the horror, and gain CONFIDENCE. 


That I am in this position, is not fair, nor is it my preference, and nor is it Just.  For those of us in the margins who choose to FIGHT, it’s a vicious battle to survive against the odds!!  

As  much as the the legal battle is of great importance to me, it doesn’t even come close to how important this one is… what I’m doing here and now, putting myself out there at a great risk in hopes of ending the war being waged that most in my world remain oblivious to,… the time is just not right yet, … butt soon!!
