John, I will say that this was a thoughtful, but exceedingly mild rebuke. The Bully Pulpit positions taken by that woman and her family have been those of a group actively seeking the demise of the people they rule. If any of the accusations made about her and Phillip (the children of the Kamloops school, Jimmy Savile, Jeffrey Epstein, Peter Ball, and Louis Mountbatten) are true, then we should wish that she and all her closest friends and family were holding hands around the maypole as it was struck by lightening.
I LOVED this post. Thank you very much for putting so eloquently and heart touchingly what I thought amorphously and could never have expressed so well.
"Perhaps she had a brief intimation of what she’d permitted when her emasculated grandson invited the venal harpy Meagan Markle to use the royal platform to inject her racial venom into their public appearances."
nothing better than a sentence that nails 3 fools to the same cross at once!
Diversity SEEMS like such a noble idea and was an idea that I once supported. But, I've come to realize that it can be used by the oligarchs as a weapon to destabilize and divide societies giving them an excuse to further impose totalitarian control.
Human beings are hard-wired to be tribal. We don't do well in larger groups with people whose values are radically different. Whether we like it or not, and for complex reasons which we're only just beginning to understand, those who migrate may not be willing or able to identify with or adopt the values of the culture that they are migrating to.
This mass migration is largely caused by imperialist policies and practices which impoverish nations and strip them of their resources. In fact, most of the wealth of rich nations comes from those countries they've colonized. This is simply a fact of civilization. Once a human settlement can no longer support itself using the resources of its own land, it will seek out and either trade with or colonize other lands. Often violently.
I highly recommend the work of Derrick Jensen, whose 2 volume, exhaustively researched book 'Endgame: The Problem of Civilization / Resistance' outlines all the ways that cities accelerate social, economic and environmental collapse. https://derrickjensen.org/endgame/ Hrte's a short list of the book's premises: https://derrickjensen.org/endgame/premises/
I would argue she did have power... never forget the Crown is fabulously wealthy, and pays no taxes and none are allowed to track their money. Likely some goes into the pockets of the elites, I would argue it is likely not that Elizabeth stood by and did nothing but rather she pushed it forward. It only began when she assumed office.
I like some constitutional rulers, but Elizabeth is a figure I think who deserves much more scrutiny, given the disasters that went down during her reign, and how most of the Windsors tend to be pretty weird. Her dad was a solid King though.
John, my admiration for your political acuity knows no bounds. You correctly identified the only instances where ER2 is known to have intervened in politics (Rhodesia and South Africa). Remarkably few people ever twig to this.
In her defence, ER2 had no choice. The US wanted the UK to force the hand of the Rhodesian and South African governments. The US had the means to pressure her, had they wished to do so.
The pound has been subject to pressure from the US since the war. Eisenhower used threats to the pound during the Suez crisis. After the Cold War George Soros made a fortune at the expense of the pound....and I assure you his hedge fund had political protection from Washington/Wall St when he did so. The UK only repaid its principal post-war reconstruction debt to the US in 2006. I think that they may still owe debts to the US from WW1.
The Queen was also mindful that the US controls the UK intelligence services and political elite. She was a client of an empire. George VI was the last King-Emperor; the empire formally expired with him as the Queen was never formally proclaimed Empress of India.
The Queen failed to protect the freedoms of her people. Had she tried to do this, she would have been destroyed and her destruction would have wrecked the country and left a legacy of bitterness and civil strife that you could barely imagine. England was ruined by two world wars, rather than by civil war or revolution. Generations past made that choice. It is childish to think that we know better in hindsight...all we know is our own preferences, but these have been formed by experiences that no one could have anticipated.
ER's function was to keep people reassured and calm. She did this brilliantly. With her gone the British must now face the truth of their predicament. The political settlement of 1688 is crumbling and the ways of life enabled by it will go too. This has consequences for us all.
By way of explanation, I am old enough to have known genuine monarchists and Empire Loyalists of the old school, was raised in a family that took such things seriously and was, in fact, named after the Duke of Edinburgh. I gave up any naive beliefs in the monarchy years ago, but am not ashamed to admit that ER2's death has shaken me. It is a very grim moment. And a fearful one too.
Not sure I want to make any comments about this situation at the moment as I need to gather my thoughts on this subject. I love the English people and my wife is half English, her mother coming to this country after marrying her father who was stationed in England in the 50s. Needless to say, I have had a few pints in some pubs over there!!! England is not what it was even 30 years ago, but then again, neither is the U.S.. I'm afraid under Charlie III, things will only get worse over there as he is a WEF puppet. We are witnessing the downfall of civilization, I'm afraid.
I suspect your sentiments are shared by many. During the jubilee earlier this year I heard a lot of people reminisce about previous ones (wasn’t in-country then). This time around it appears to have been almost entirely a TV spectacle. No buntings, no street picnics, just indifference.
I think of QE2 as the worst monarch that we have ever had. This may seem harsh but no other monarch has left the people of this country in such a weakened state and has not lifted a finger or, as you say, raised a voice, to help.
Your comment of Rhodesia and South Africa is very good. Where we differ though is on the term "The Apartheid system" While the Nationalist Party had implemented a segregation policy it was a policy for survival.
The term Apartheid was a label created and used to exploit a situation by he very Afro-Marxists led by a terrorist as you correctly elucidated. The word “apartheid” actually is a word in a language called Afrikaans. It was a modified language of a group of initially white people in South Africa originating from the Netherlands. The word actually means separate development.
People need to understand that the Afrikaners were no different from any other group of people in history who wanted to be self-governed and believe in self-determination. It is no different from the Amish belief system, of religion, culture vales and value systems, aspirations, like-thinking and life-style or being “like-minded”. It originates from Alsatian Anabaptistism. Many Afrikaners were Baptists and are Christians.
We ( White Minority of many different creeds) here now in South Africa sit in a quagmire run by socialists and Marxist communists who are destroying the country and the Afrikaner community. We all know that we are next after the Afrikaners.
Note that the British Empire deserted the Rhodesians and South Africans. My Grandmother arrived here in 1910. Both sides mother and father were British and supporters of the royals. I changed sides in 1970 to support the minority of Afrikaners who are other than the Jewish Race on of the most scapegoated people.
I wish I could be as reasonable as you. Seriously. My thoughts and feelings are not even remotely reasonable, or even able to be expressed on a “free speech “ platform.

Well Said. Shared it on social media. The caretaker do nothing queen, who let down all people by not checking the extant nefarity. She did support brexit, but let things go on too long. She had vast executive powers that could have forestalled a lot of this tragic scene. I became mixed up in the Poll Tax Riots in London. I had to run for refuge into St. Paul’s near Trafalgar. That was another instance where she failed to support her “subjects.” And now the subjects will have to find better guards for their liberty.
Queen Elisabeth the borderless,
left the whole realm penniless.
Her borders unmanned
She sold out the land
Leaving the whole realm orderless

Very good article John and will be linking it tomorrow @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/

Perhaps they will call her Elizabeth Evening Star, after the last steam locomotive. As presiding over the end of the British race.
I think an appropriate moniker for her would be precisely what she means to us. Elizabeth the Indifferent.
Thankyou John,

Democracy is a cynical sham with the purpose of the people getting what they voted for. And the power players alleviating their guilt.
We face de-population, destruction and holocaust and it is ok. Because democracy.
The peoples century this is not.
