The Queen, being exposed to Liz Truss on September 6, looking frail but not moribund.
This essay makes some solid points as Elizabeth II could have intervened but she didn't - we just don't know the real reasons why she did not. It may say something about the decline of civilization we are seeing, as John Carter points out at the end of his article, commenting on his mainly indifferent attitude towards the Queen's death:
Here is a part of the Queens 1957 Christmas address where she indicates limits of her powers:
The articles mentions that military oaths are sworn to the crown, the same is true of police oaths. However, one of the legal maxims is The contract makes the law. A private contract is held as superior to a public oath. The military and police swear a public oath, then they sign a private contract - an employment contract that can demand things that are in conflict with the oath that was sworn.
I dunno. I think that if there were sufficient signals from police and military during the COVID operations to indicate that there may have been sufficient numbers to actually support and protect her and the people if she did speak out, maybe she would have. Perhaps that's one of the things she was hanging on so long for - apart from working towards Chuck having the shortest possible reign. That could be an overly idealistic take on the matter.
Part of her Royal title was 'Defender of the faith'. A lesser known detail of British monarchs since the time of Henry VIII is that they also hold the position of Supreme Govenor of the Church of England. As such the Queen also attended synods and regularly met with world religious leaders. She didn't mention her faith much in her early speeches, but was apparently encouraged by Prince Phillip to speak out about it more and her later speeches reflect this.
One of the reasons that Henry VIII started the Church of England was because he wanted a divorce and the Pope wouldn't grant him one. Church of England was more lenient when it came to divorces.
Interesting articulation of 'what-might-have-beens', but the author's lament regarding 'racial justice for our people' spoil his overall point.
Contrary to current 'trad trends', Zimbabwe and South Africa would not have been 'fine, but for letting those darkies take over'.
Yes, the Empire (British/American) 'let the darkies take over' on the surface level, but they retained controlling influences in the former colonies by deeply financially indebting them and operating remotely-controlled 'dirty tricks' campaigns.
British Guardian backs CIA dirty tricks in Zimbabwe
In its most outspoken statement yet on Zimbabwe, the Bush administration has made it clear that it is taking steps to bring down President Robert Mugabe’s government. US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Walter Kansteiner announced the shift in US policy in a statement on August...www.wsws.org
Regarding the queen's failure to do anything to stop postmodernism, the removal of civil liberties, and the destabilization of society through mass immigration, etc., yes, that's tragic. She basically 'folded' to the dominant paradigm, the 'current thing', rather than stand up for the values that people projected onto her.
But the type of 'radical counter-intervention' required to prevent 'leftist radicalism' from taking over and permeating everything is the role of an absolutist monarch.
People today don't understand what that is. They think it's essentially a dictator who controls everything and everyone in a whimsical, tyrannical way. No, it's someone who is 'above politics', like the current British 'constitutional monarch', but who occasionally and punctually intervenes as 'tribune of the plebs' - as Carter puts it - when it's clear that the popular will is being ignored and rail-roaded by the nobles.
And that is why the English were turned against the Stuarts in the 17th and 18th centuries. The nobles projected onto the last 'absolute monarchs' the very crime they themselves intended to commit (unfettered rule by decree). It was a psy-op to do away with the people ever again having a 'tribune of the plebs'. The incredible grief people felt over this loss of a 'symbolic-yet-potent-protector' comes down to us today in the form of dozens of beautiful and haunting songs and ballads.
So, while I'm sympathetic to Carter's overall lament, it's misplaced by two centuries. I'm afraid that 4DSTS was 'way ahead of the game' when it did away with (real) monarchy 2-300 years ago, robbing people of their best defensive 'armor' against ponerization.
Interesting piece. Nothing would surprise me. Even in terminal decline, it isn't usually so quick a death. I'm guessing that (once all the dust settles) Charles 3 and his House/institution will not have nearly as much support from their subjects.The Queen, being exposed to Liz Truss on September 6, looking frail but not moribund.
Attractive as an absolute monarchy may seem in protecting the people against a ponerized oligarchy, the problem I guess is that you can end up with an absolute psychopath like Henry VIII who killed tens of thousands of his subjects. Therefore, you still need some checks and balances.
Well, me too.Oddly, Ark's first reaction was that someone poisoned her.
The same thing goes for Chucky, given for assumed ancestry which is never said, only the mother knows and sometimes not even that . However, given the ponerization in place (and woke thing is a ponerization ) I don't see why the title and pronoun should be changed. I mean I think Charles III should be a queen. And proud of it....... "Sign of struggle out of sequence with pre-ordained activities of Royal Blood Lines"
Well, me too.
Immediately I heard she was under medical supervision suddenly after having just seen footage of her meeting with Liz Truss, I felt absolutely, someone has intentionally 'interfered' with her health, (aside from the Covid jabs) whether it was very recent or over a period of time more recently; it feels to me 'they' had an 'expiry date' set for her.
I wondered if this was a pivotal point in the 'agenda' where perhaps they intended or 'needed' to initiate Charles into his role at a specific date for specific reasons? I don't know enough about Freemasonry and the deeper workings of the 'consortium' at all and have not read anything about this, but for myself there was a very strong feeling that it was not a natural passing and perhaps it was always part of the 'plan' (perhaps, if the Covid jab didn't have the desired effect in a specific timeframe). I think there is no question that she deteriorated considerably after the vax but particularly upon the passing of Prince Phillip. I also feel if she had not had the vax she may well have lived for quite some considerable time, and perhaps that is exactly what those 'dark forces' did not want.
Perhaps the things the Queen did not openly act upon, or bring some kind of influence to situations openly, was possibly more from an acute awareness that there were boundaries or 'rules' around that sort of thing, and I guess it would not be hard to intuit that if you stepped beyond them, there would likely be a terrible price to pay. She seemed a devoted mother and wife, so I would not be surprised if she had to navigate her way through her role very carefully with the utmost diplomacy and discretion, not only to protect those closest to her, and herself, but also to do her best to have some kind of 'unseen influence' when it came to the welfare of others where possible. When I look at her life, it seems she was damned if she did and damned if she didn't. Someone clearly had informed her about these dark forces and the consequences of stepping 'over the line' in any way, shape or form.
Whilst watching some footage of Charles signing documents (after his rude, irritated condescending display toward staff regarding the dish of pens. What a complete ass. Clearly he never learned much about basic, quiet dignity from observing his mother!). As he signed the documents, there was a bit of a 'smug' expression on his face; I felt he was having to contain his delight. After this, when he was standing in front of the group present, having signing the documents, I observed a 'smirk' on his face and I wondered if it was in response to a particular person in the room, rather than just everyone in the room generally. It seemed like there was some kind of energetic exchange with someone in particular that elicited this response, perhaps I am imagining this, but I was watching trying to just observe and be objective, it was as if for a moment he was 'basking' in the reality of what had just happened. Then it was as if he snapped himself out of that and a 'mask' came back into place. I felt physically ill at that moment. For someone so 'bereft' over his mother passing, he certainly was not demonstrating what seem like normal emotions / facial expressions. I know people grieve in different ways, but I would have thought he would feel such terrible heartbreak and genuinely NO happiness at all over such a terrible situation; instead that momentous occasion would be a great deal more sombre and deeply emotional (and we would all feel/sense/witness that energy within him) if his so called love for 'Mummy' was as sincere as he suggests. I felt his speech was not heartfelt at all, instead carefully contrived and crafted. I can't help but feel deep down that under all that 'love' is actually a deep resentment toward his mother, and that he has been waiting for this 'opportunity' for all the wrong reasons, and that deep down he has some major 'mummy issues' that perhaps even the Queen was unaware of.
Very good picture! Your mom was a good photograph.While looking for a photo that I thought was the Queen's visit to Edmonton (which turned out to be Charles and Diana's visit at the World University Games in 1983), I found the right photo from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 1978. I was 4 at the time and didn't understand what all the hubbub was about, but I remember people lining the streets on both sides and a very festive atmosphere like those found at a parade, only in this case a parade that was 10 seconds long. My mom took the photo, and because they were moving fairly quickly, she only had time for one shot.

All those people smiling, waving and clapping. I vaguely remember cheers and whistles as they drove by. The atmosphere speaks for itself and her presence generated it.
Also, from the Kremlin addressed to King Charles III:
I felt this type of grief the day Indira Gandhi was assassinated in 1984. Noisy-crazy-busy streets became empty and silent (As if there is a curfew) and few people walked were crying as if they lost in their family , fear of what will happen next is on the air. In theory, it is a democracy. No body has any good impression of Indira- particularly about her "demockery" ( Ruling what is good for her is good for her party and the nation, imposing the emergency to stay in power( 1975-77), her crucial role in splitting the opposition to miniscule pieces (1979)) of the governance.As a Brit I was initially surprised and confused as to why I was feeling something akin to grief at learning of the Queens passing. I think Russell Brand made some excellent points in his YouTube video on the subject.
How did a Democracy became reliance on Dynasty?The Guardian wrote in 2007, "The Nehru brand has no peer in the world — a member of the family has been in charge of India for 40 of the 60 years since independence. The allure of India's first family blends the right to rule of British monarchy with the tragic glamour of America's Kennedy clan.
The last time we had a thread about the monarchy, I basically commented that although in a perfect world elections would be the most sensible thing to do, there's a major problem with how we do them. In practice it seems like it creates an "in" for psychopaths, whereas with monarchies it's more of a roll of a dice if it's a family thing, and psychopaths have to influence from the sidelines like Rasputin and hope for the best. You could get an Elizabeth, could be a Charles, could be a Caesar. The reason electoral systems seem doomed to failure the way we do them now is that although "the best of us" should be our representative, there are a few problems:So, while I'm sympathetic to Carter's overall lament, it's misplaced by two centuries. I'm afraid that 4DSTS was 'way ahead of the game' when it did away with (real) monarchy 2-300 years ago, robbing people of their best defensive 'armor' against ponerization.
