By Eric Arthur Blair for the Saker blog
The Queen is dead. I am not referring to the demise of Freddie Mercury. That was ancient history, although Freddie’s passing certainly represented the premature tragic loss of an immense talent and deserved to be mourned. No, I am referring of course to the demise yesterday of an extremely old, extremely rich and extremely privileged lady who, as far as we knew, lacked any talent, apart from doing what she was told to do and saying what she was told to say. I suppose you could call that a talent of sorts, if pulled off convincingly. Could someone with no initiative, no imagination and no original thought, who did what she was told to do, and said what she was told to say, be termed a “ruler” or a “leader”?
Or is “dutiful establishment puppet” a more accurate description? Would Lizzie have amounted to anything if she had not been born into the Saxe-Coburg family? Of course not.
Those words above are bound to raise the ire of all foaming-at-the-mouth Monarchists and knuckle-dragging Imperialists everywhere. However they were entirely based on known facts and reasoned analysis. Unfortunately however, those words could earn me a place on the fatwah kill list of rabid Britannic jihadists.
Until they or their UkroNazi proxies successfully car-bomb me, I will insist, resist and persist. So here goes.
QE2’s demise at age 96 is the biggest pseudo-news and biggest NON-event in the world today. I daresay that the Pakistanis who lost their families, friends and worldly possessions in the recent horrific floods, have other things on their minds. I daresay that the Yemenis and Palestinians being bombed and shot at daily, have other things on their minds. I daresay that the Afghans who had their bank deposits stolen by the USA and are now starving, have other things on their minds. My view regarding Lizzie’s departure, after yawning repeatedly, is that everyone should instead focus, laser-like, on the existential concerns facing humanity: conflicts manufactured by the USA now raising our real risk of Nuclear Armageddon, catastrophic climate change, impending collapse of industrial civilisation from petroleum depletion, ecosystem devastation and rampant pollution, all which threaten to bring about our Near Term Extinction.
Meanwhile in the Western media, we are bombarded with “bread and circuses”, with time and energy wasting distractions. Yesterday it was the size of Kim Kardashian’s bum, today it is the news that shrivelled old Lizzie fell off her perch. What an unexpected shock, oh me, oh my.
No doubt there will be gnashing of teeth, tearing out of hair and loud agonised wailing echoing down the cobwebbed corridors of faded British Imperialism everywhere.
We will be inundated with nauseating puff-pieces, the fawning media presstitutes of Old Empire all trying to out-compete each other for the most heartfelt hagiography, written with copious tears streaming down their cheeks, abruptly short circuiting their keyboards. The best pieces will earn hefty paychecks. That is how the commercial media work.
Politicians too will join the frenzied contest for “bestest Liz loving speechification” the winner being the one that most poignantly pulls at everyone’s heartstrings. I can envision Peter Dutton, that rabidly fanatical Imperialistic armchair warmonger, viewing this as a golden opportunity to re-fashion his public image. After ensuring that all cameras are trained on him, he would dramatically tear his hair out, demonstrating his inconsolable grief. Oh, wait…never mind, maybe he has hair elsewhere that he can tear out. And I don’t mean eyebrows, which he already creepily seems to lack.
It is long past time that Australia should cast loose from anything resembling Imperial control. Of course, alert individuals will recognise that Australia in years past had quietly transitioned from being a Colony of Britain to being a Neo-Colony of the USA. We now know beyond any reasonable doubt that the removal of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam from office was a soft coup orchestrated by the CIA, collaborating with MI6, who used the figureheads of the Queen and Governor General to overthrow a democratically elected leader of a (nominally) sovereign country, Australia.
So much for independence. So much for attempting socialist reform to benefit ordinary hardworking people.
So who were those shadowy figures who told Liz what to do and what to say? Certainly MI6, in collaboration with the CIA (and we now know for sure that the CIA, along with the FBI, orchestrated JFK’s assassination – because he had too much initiative, too much imagination, too much original thought. Conspiracy theory is now conspiracy fact. Any who dispute this reality must watch Oliver Stone’s “JFK revisited”). Who are the other puppet masters? You know very well who: the usual Wunch of Bankers, the Military-Industrial-Complex Oligarchs, the Corporatists (especially Big Oil), the commercial media moguls such as Rabid Maddog (and his heir Loco Maddog) etc. You know who the 0.1% are. Everyone must focus, laser-like, on the psychopaths who actually pull the strings, who control ventriloquist dummies like Joe Biden or his equivalent “Republican” wannabe and who also control bonnie Prince Charlie (now the King…of wishful thinking). The mouthpieces and marionettes change but the propaganda remains the same.
Here is one possible inscription for Lizzie’s tombstone:
Here lies a non-entity
who did what she was told to do
and said what she was told to say.
She was a dutiful establishment puppet.
Eric Arthur Blair is a dead author who rose from his grave in outrage to write yet again, once he discovered that the dystopian future that he dreaded in 1948 has now come to pass. Not in the East as he had expected, but in the AngloZionist West.
I concur !!
Now would be a good time for English to accept they don’t own the rainy little island they call home.
Burnum Burnum, an Aboriginal Elder, went to Dover and claimed sovereignty over all of England in 1988
(200 years after the English did so in Australia)
You can read the The Burnum Burnum Declaration here

Reasonable exposé of facts. The emphasis on Dutton and Whitlam points to an Australian behind the Orwellian slant. Australia, huge, rich, strategically unique, undefendable by its small population, naturally slipped from British to US hands after WW2. Now one of the Five Eyes, its fate is sealed as a US possession and future nuclear target.
Maybe. Things are changing in Australia, but very slowly. There were tens of thousands of Aussies protesting COVID and millions watching on TV police brutally attacking the protesters. The former ruling Liberal/National party went from 5.9 to 5.2 million votes in the 2022 Federal elections while the new ruling party Labor dropped slightly to 4.7 million votes. Independent parties gained almost a third of the vote, although most of them will side with the U.S. for the near future. Both Labor and the Liberals promised a referendum on the creation of a republic, although Labor is already backing off. If Aussies hold Labor to its pledge, things could change even faster.
“Both Labor and the Liberals promised a referendum on the creation of a republic, although Labor is already backing off. If Aussies hold Labor to its pledge, things could change even faster.”
This is a change, if it happens, that won’t change anything!
The Mass media is the ruling power now! They exert direct control of the minds of the masses and can, literally. convince large segments of Society to believe anything they are directed to and told to believe. The weakness of this is that the figures in the shadows are, as always, motivated to selfish ends, and so the enterprise will, as always, end in disaster, they are ‘only’ human as are we all, and don’t have the wisdom to lead us to a ‘Happy End’, having money doesn’t buy wisdom, nor are they motivated by concern for the public good!
Eric Blair aka George Orwell. get it
“Eric Arthur Blair is a dead author who rose from his grave in outrage to write yet again, once he discovered that the dystopian future that he dreaded in 1948 has now come to pass. Not in the East as he had expected, but in the AngloZionist West.”
Of course I get it. But if I remember correctly the dystopian nightmare was set in “Airport One”. A clear reference to the UK, which had become a permanently-moored aircraft carrier for the US. The chief character was a very Anglo “Winston Smith” and the authorised tipple was a synthetic gin. Orwell did not “dread” the dystopian future. He witnessed its birth in 1948.
I agree with Alex in Oz about 1948 and Eric actually intended that title but he was so sick he couldnt resist the publishers alteration to 1984
And let’s not forget how Mr. Orwell happily aided the State in it’s efforts to destroy any and all who were guilty of “Wrongthink”.

Good one. The latest part of George Orwell’s life show us that 1984 wasn’t an accident at all. The author falled in his own trap.
I thought that some of the issues concerning humanity were constructs of the same groups of people you choose to criticize. Deep breath, there is nothing wrong with the climate and there is an abundance of oil reserves.
God help those who have to reason with people who are religiously inclined to push unproven narratives.
Thank you! I was going to waste my time pointing these fables out as creations of those who oppress, but you did a damn fine job of it. Again, my thanks, and have a great day!
Duh… ! The worlds Ice is melting, all over the planet at an alarming hitherto, never seen before, rate, neither in the geologic record. Climate warming is accelerating. One more degree of average warming means that many current arable areas will be incapable of supporting any kind of mass agriculture. The US military has stated the greatest threat they face is all their coastal bases being inundated by the sea. (which is a majority of their bases) Try to pay attention…. I know that’s difficult….must be what you read. The worlds climate scientists are all screaming this in unison, except for the few interlopers paid by industry to deny the obvious. More fools them, they destroy their own credibility.
Of course there is an abundance of oil, globally. Every year vast new reserves are found. Including in the Levant. What’s your point…? Oh…Our major oil companies are currently sitting of tens of thousands of existing oil leases that they are doing nothing with…yet clamor for even more leases, as an excuse to price gouge the public at the pump…. Is That your point…? Its poignant that all that oil was formed after the carboniferous period when there were a lot more trees to absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide. We know this from the geologic records. Science reveals doesn’t it…or is science-denial your religiously unproven narrative…. Science isn’t Real…?
The problem with the apparent wealth of oil is in the economy of extraction. This proportion of extraction cost to the value of oil acquired is getting higher and higher. Than there is a factor of ending of the West apparent ruling of other countries oil.
Please do not discuss climate change on this blog.
This is totally offtopic
Andrei… I like your stuff. I also kayak, further south of you, in the Keys. You are always welcome Chez Moi.
I always understood that the purpose of the ‘Reply’ link was to address and respond to the comment posted. That has been my experience reading your site. Perhaps the poster abc 123 drifted offtopic, but it was approved and then posted for all to see. Surely the process is informative therefore educational. Without discourse and therefore information assimilation, then nothing is learned, exchanged, nothing profits, all is just repetitive confirmation bias. There’s plenty other outlets for that. Isn’t the purpose of a blog to stimulate inquiry or refute contraindications…?
How many hours a day do you do this…and how do you keep your sanity…?
I take it you will be ecstatic at the ascension of the new King, he being, like you, concerned about climate change and ecosystem destruction.
As recently as this year, while hobnobbing with our would be owners at Davos, he announced his intention to push for a “climate army”.
I actually live in Australia and reckon the ecosystem is pretty healthy, apart from the bits where the majority of Green voters live. Those bits being rather heavily covered in buildings and concrete. They will recover in a century or so, once the denizens have died off and the survivors gone to find a cave. The ecosystem out here would be pristine, but for constant attacks from those people and their avaricious political mates. The latest a week ago from our deputy leader announcing she was saving water, by covering up channels. The ecosystem in a pipe is a bit limited, ( frogs, ducks, pelicans and rakali breathe air and fish like few insects to fly in and breed.)
Anyway, as for Queenie, she was apparently a diesel mechanic. Are you sure she/they take orders, or do they help to make them? Bigears does sit up there on the Serco board with Lord R. and they control pretty much everything. Everything including Thale, who make and sell the Bushmasters which our Govt then gifts to the Ukronazis, so they can add them to the Russian scrap metal market, or sell them on the black market. (I believe you can buy one in Odessa, for around 35 grand. Good deal for a million dollar plus toy). The Royals may be useless to us, but not irrelevant.
Didn’t you hear? King Charles said he will no longer be an activist for climate issues now that he is king:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/king-charles-iii-appears-to-signal-an-end-to-climate-change-activism/ar-AA11EMUW. Strange, isn’t it?
She certainly did not take advantage of her position as someone who does not need to elected. She just did her duty as she saw it. She could have been helpful to her people that a dutiful servant of the High Cabal.
Uncle Davy and us were on the same beam yesterday:
For Americans who are having a hard time understanding what their friends across the pond are going through, imagine if Chicken McNuggets died.
Or anything else you’ve had since you were a child that you know isn’t good for you, but it gives you a sense of comfort that you don’t really understand and can’t really control so you’re not ready to give it up just yet.
It’s so crazy how many people I’m seeing getting outraged at criticisms of the queen. Imagine being such a bootlicking cuck that you spend your time running around the internet yelling at people who say disparaging things about a dead imperialist a–hole.
https://fivegunswest.blogspot.com/2022/09/queen-elizabeth-ii-smiley-face-on.html
“imagine if Chicken McNuggets died”
Of course they died. Murdered by the Americans.
The future is vegan.
Do you know that about 96% of the Canadian land is crown land? You can build on crown land with a 99 year contract but the land will never be yours. You can sell it to someone else but only what you build. Whoever buys you “property” will have to pay for 99 years of crown land use. I believe this is how it is, please correct me if I am wrong. I wonder if it is the same in Australia?
Within the Commonwealth of Australia the Crown claims dominion to all lands. There are no land owners, only land title holders – “tenants in common”. This is typically not an issue as the Crown has lawful responsibilities to uphold the rights of the people and their enjoyment of the land. The enjoyment is typically either in free hold or lease hold. The rights of tribal (aboriginal) people and their land is different.
Mate
The term “Crown” references a building of corporation in London. It stopped being used to refer to the Queen years ago, ergo all the Canadian bylaws totally against freedoms we here once had. Any and all references to the crown are because they stole Canada it’s GDP it’s tax revenues and highly educated intellectual properties.
G’day
The Crown Corporation you speak of “the city of London” is not the same as the Crown in law, which is the body of law that governs the Australian Commonwealth. This is clearly articulated in the Quick and Garran Annotated Constitution of the Australian Commonwealth where the definition of the Crown is defined.
Pay to live on Crown Land……never, you Squat.
I knew the Hermit of Gully Lake, it is not an easy existence…..grocery store is wide open, and very very cold in winter.
They, the minions of the Crown, will and can evict you, but you just move to new spot or re occupy. They might throw a person in the Gael but then it’s three warm meals a day and a warm bed, on the Crowns dime…..like a Paddy doing the ‘double’ take whatever you can from the Crown.
I think you are referring to ‘leasing from the Crown’ farmers and loggers do it not sure how many individuals or families do it, if any.

Well yes, Eric, QE2 did what she was told, and her handlers made sure that she was kept busy to thwart wrongthought. No doubt she’d have been hounded into abdication or a grave decades ago had she refused to be a rubber stamp monarch. And her progeny didn’t turn out so well. Given the state of the UK today, her epitaph could read:
Here lies Queen Elizabeth the 2nd
She supervised the replacement of
half of London’s population and
the transformation of Britannia
into Airstrip One
This is hardly a good reason, though, for sneering about “shrivelled Lizzie”. Good grief, the woman was 96. The human body breaks down as it becomes very old, not that you would know this very well. You kicked off at about 46, if my source is correct, and while still alive you were slow to learn the hard lessons about your precious socialism.
Speaking of socialism’s outcomes and motives, have you ever noticed how little socialists are interested in abolishing the very institution of incorporation? This is perplexing. Year after year, decade after decade, socialists bitch and moan about corporatocracy this and “Corporatists” that. Skeptics ought to be forgiven for suspecting that socialists are on the payroll of the people at whom socialists lash out perfuctorily. It appears that the 0.1% are getting quite a bargain. Millions of people have fallen for the ploy of goading “ordinary hardworking people” to vote for treating the symptoms of this mafia civilization. The resulting welfare statism and other measures makes those people more docile, like farm animals, and the results deftly undermine anyone who would promote a proper rebellion against the mafia. Meanwhile, ever greater centralization of power is just what the ruling classes need to rig commerce, society, and culture according to their preferences.
Maybe what you need are some new friends with whom to discuss politics. May I suggest that you contact your local libertarians (in the American sense of the word)? They are quite fond of crying in pain about central banking, which was set up to serve the interests of corporate capital, finance capital, and whatnot. Like you, they rarely have a sharp word against the institution of incorporation, and, like you, they hate the usual Wunch of Bankers, the Military-Industrial-Complex Oligarchs, and so on. You could compare and contrast your compensation packages and your favorite reasons for prepetuating the underlying order.
How can the demise of a sodomite homosexual (Mercury) be considered as a tragic loss ? I don’t understand your morals. All he did through his song videos was to promote homosexual lifestyle. This was the reason that in Russia they don’t glorify such disgusting individuals, regardless of their art value or supposed talent. I listened to his songs one time and I almost vomited.
Good comment.
Well said Arayik. Mercury was a talented but disgusting individual in real life. His deviant lifestyle eventually killed him.
Mary Austin was the love of his life and was at his bedside when he died.
Being homosexual does not mean you lack talent!
If you really believe that homosexuality and talent are mutually exclusive, then you know nothing about both talent and homosexuality :-)
Remember the deck of cards printed by the George W Bush administration that identified the 52 leading members of Saddam Hessein’s Bath party in Iraq that the US government intended to kill (sorry I mean arrest and suddenly die in custody).
Maybe its time for a 1000 card deck of super-globalist. The top of the food chain. Those ensconced in luxury, removed from the masses yet pulling the strings. How about another 5000 cards for the politicians (old and new), generals, bureaucrats, and medial shills that implement the policies of the 1000 super-elite.
Now lets find 100,000 lone wolves, who are prepared to randomly meet anyone in the first deck or second deck and introduce those individuals to their maker. Random. In the night, During the day. Stealthily.
Here’s a question, “As the word gets out that the “elite” are no longer safe, how fast will the army of lackeys, toadies, boot-straps, and defenders of the oligarchical faith jump ship, when t is clear that their benefactors, patrons and butt-buddies cannot sustain them?
I agree.
“A hundred heroes transform the world,” said one great Serb.
Im in too. Your great Serb was right on the point. The 300 Spartans changed the world too.The problem is to find the 100-300 among the sheeple.
I think they calculated the 500 mio on the Guidestones right. It also fits in with the 2-8-90 rule. 2% can think, 8% think they can think, and 90% would rather die than think.
King Charles the Turd… oops Third.
Oz media in nauseating overdrive. Pollies will be falling overthemselves to get a seat at the funeral and later crowning. But protocols dating from 1066 will determine who can attend.
Pres Putin… didnt attend Gorby’s farewell so he will most likely be too busy if pompass British protocol invites him.
President Putin was one of the first to send commiserations to Charles but the BBC chose to later report that there had been nothing from Russia. When Crimea was annexed Charles referred to Putin as Hitler so it is most unlikely that the Russian President will be invited to the funeral and even if he was, there are other things to occupy his time right now. The BBC is a cesspit.
A more appropriate obituary comes from David Icke: https://www.bitchute.com/video/uCK6G2LROBvf/
Mike Adams does also better on his Telegram-channel:
Some (partially) lighter notes from Caitlin Johnstone: https://caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/having-a-queen-was-stupid-having
The Queen did not engage in Empire building, in fact she presided over the dissolution of the Empire, returning control to local capable government structures. The Empire became too expensive to maintain. The natives were becoming restless. This was not a military solution. She actively encouraged Independence. In fact, African nations received Independence 3 years before her coronation as Queen. You are confusing the beloved reign of our Queen Elizabeth 11 with centuries of her antecedents and inter-marriages of diplomacy amongst the royals of Europe. Not her responsibility. Along with Empire building comes the responsibility of Nation building. Setting up infrastructure, railways, ports, roads. Modernization, Hospitals, Schools, education. Commerce and transportation. Civil and civilian infrastructure. Legal structures, courts, judges, police, military. All of this was created by the Empire, Which ultimately benefited the inhabitants.
This was after the naval invasions. Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves. So did Spain, France, Norway, Dutch, Portuguese…the list goes on… You know why Britain left America…? Nothing worth plundering. All they got was tobacco and potatoes…a bad return on it’s huge investment, even after they burned the DC Capitol. It wasn’t worth financing another campaign. Don’t throw good money away on a bad investment.
I think Liz died of shame just after she swore in that wretch Truss as PM.
@TonyP My thoughts exactly. The timing is impeccable.
What did Queen Elizabeth ever to to you?
The answer of course, is nothing.
She was little more than a powerless figurehead, a mere attachment to history and tradition that the British chose to keep.
So your annoyance speaks less about her and more about you.
How the east governs itself is of no concern to me. The same goes for England. Nevertheless I note the crass, crude and classless remarks directed at someone who can no longer respond, not that her own lifelong sense of personal dignity would have allowed her to do so.
I’m quite willing to let the old girl have her day and rest in peace while England processes through it’s societal rituals.
It’s called having a little class. And I’m in good company:
“Your Majesty,
Please accept my deepest condolences on the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Her Majesty’s name is inextricably linked with the key events in the contemporary history of the United Kingdom. For many decades, Elizabeth II rightfully enjoyed the love and respect of her subjects, as well as high regard on the world stage.
I wish you courage and fortitude in the face of this difficult, irreparable loss. Please convey my sincere sympathy and support to the members of the royal family and all the people of the United Kingdom.
Yours sincerely,
Vladimir Putin”
Don’t be silly. She had true, actual power to amend or even block “democratically” drafted legislation. She used that power many times. Always to preserve establishment power. Google it.
Don’t be silly. NO she didn’t. Her position was performative and ceremonial. Parliament holds the only true Power. Everything else is just pomp and heraldry from a bygone age. She never blocked any Parliamentary Act, theoretically she could but in actuality it wouldn’t have been allowed since her signature was purely ceremonial. Google it… ! Preserve Establishment Power…? What, more Conspiracy Theories like the Deep State cabal nonsense…? Wow…Q Anon silliness again….?
Seriously, learn to google.

Thanks Simon… interesting reading. I object to anything from the Scottish Parliament as a matter of course. They do not speak for Great Britain. Your links betray this information, which demonstrates that Her Majesty does not, indeed, control Parliament. When introduced measures might affect the Monarchy, which holds a ceremonial role in Governance, then and only then is the Queens Consent required. Thus is the balance struck between a commoners representative Parliament and a benign Monarchy. The process is clear, historical and mutually beneficial. The Monarch is not involved in other affairs of governance, those are remanded to Parliament. The Monarch has never withheld ceremonial Monarchs Assent as you inferred incorrectly.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the Queen said: “Queen’s consent is a parliamentary process, with the role of sovereign purely formal. Consent is always granted by the monarch where requested by government.
“Whether Queen’s consent is required is decided by parliament, independently from the royal household, in matters that would affect crown interests, including personal property and personal interests of the monarch,” she said.
“If consent is required, draft legislation is, by convention, put to the sovereign to grant solely on advice of ministers and as a matter of public record.”
Note, as usual Putin’s wonderful irony :
“Her Majesty’s name is inextricably linked with the key events in the contemporary history of the United Kingdom.”
Get it – key events, like killing any peace negotiations in Apr? Like BoJo’s leaked Commonwealth of Europe documents by Corriere dela Serra?

Who is the Commonwealth Head, might I ask?
Here is another take on the British Monarchy. It is 1902 and a certain American writer has found his way to the UK and has witnessed a curious ceremony called The Coronation – as follows.
”The parade of horses and men is in full display:
”And now the Horse Guards, a glimpse of beautiful cream ponies and a golden panoply, a hurricane of cheers, the crashing of bands – ‘The King! the King! God save the King!’ Everybody has gone mad. The contagion is sweeping me off my feet – I too want to shout, ‘The King! God save the King! Ragged men about me, tears in their eyes, are tossing up their hats and crying ecstatically, ‘Bless’ em! Bless em! Bless em! See there he is, in that wonderous golden coach, the great crown flashing on his head the woman beside him likewise crowned.
And I check myself with a rush, striving to convince myself that this is all real and rational, and not some glimpse of fairyland. This I cannot succeed in doing, and it is better so. I much prefer to believe in all this pomp and it is better so. I much believe all this pomp, and vanity, and show, the mumbo-jumbo foolery has come from fairy-land, than to believe it the performance of sane and rational people who have mastered matter and solved the secret of the stars.”
by Jack London – People of the Abyss – 1902.
There you have it. The Great Spectacle and nonsense of The Queen/King and its crowning glory and resplendent setting – fit only for children really. And the British powers-that-be know it is only for children. It rather reminds one of the ‘Two Minutes Hate’ in 1984. BTW It is two minutes hate not two minutes of hate.
It should be understood that Britain does not possess a written constitution, it has instead an ‘understanding’ which basically means a non-democratic political structure.
When, I wonder will people grow up?
Lizzy2 her last days a midget next to the Liz you can Truss – how appropriate these days.

Geoff Whitlam’s mistake was the impurity of his cause, or more likely, too many repairs of our past required in one brief period – Sucking up to Suharto for the Empire did him in.

inappropriate sentence removed … mod
In 1972 the UK had a referendum to join the EU; an invalid one as the British subjects of the Commonwealth of Australia did not vote as legally required. Nevertheless, the UK joined the EU which rendered Queen Elizabeth II nothing more than a European citizen. The UK lost its sovereignty (and more or less their Sovereign).
The Sovereign was further repudiated by Gough Whitlam and co. in 1973 with the creation of the legal fiction of Queen of Australia via the Royal Style & Titles Act 1973 (extended by Statute Law Revision Act 1973). Whitlam and those in the Commonwealth Government had no authority to do this and was absolutely unlawful, as evidenced by the legal advice received from the office of the Attorney-General at the time (see Minute 445 by Lindell). These actions, coupled at the state level with the various Australia Acts in 1986 have rendered Australia a de facto republic (for almost 50 years). The fact that these actions are unlawful are further evidenced by proposed bills in the Constitutional Covention papers from 1988.
Queen Elizabeth II was effectively dethroned by rogue parliaments and Wormtongue-like advisers, with parliamentarians over the past 50 years further eroding the separation of powers. As she had the ultimate power within the realm she was ultimately accountable, but I doubt through willful intent. More likely conniving, Machiavellian figures within the Crown’s inner circles.
Those calling for a “republic” or the “end to the monarchy” are completely blind to the true legal history and the dysfunctions created through the dismantling of the constitutional monarchy by stealth. Cheerleading for essentially more of the same is maniacal self-flagellation – practically all politicians support the globalist agenda/hegemony (as does King Charles III) so any new system of government will diminish the lives and rights of the common people.
The issue is less about the system, rather more the competence of the head of state. Putin is effectively a tsar but almost in a league of his own in terms of modern-day head of state competency. If only King Charles III had the potential to be at that level, then approval ratings for constitutional monarchy would be similar to Putin’s internal approval ratings.
Steve, spot on mate. Your post is right on the money regarding the Constitutional basket case that Australia is, thanks to mostly the Labor Party and facilitated by the Liberals etc. There are effectively two political crime gangs who have taken over the Australian political system and the parliament. An oligopoly of political criminals who have usurped our Commonwealth. I like to think that HM Elizabeth II was mislead by Gough the traitor and criminal Whitlam and the Labor Party, and mislead by her own advisers at the time? We just don’t know yet? But the UK joining the EU in 1973, was the green light for the constitutional shit fuckery to begin here in Australia, executed by Whitlam and the Labor Party crooks.
When Imperial College wanted to put up new buildings in the 1960’s and pull down the old ones, they were able to do so without seeking the approval of the local council (Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea). That is because the College was built on Crown Land.
Try changing the texture of the paint, let alone the colour, of any of the buildings nearby in Queensgate and you will see what I mean.

The Queen was never meant to rule anything. She was an extremely popular figurehead, a symbol of her era. Whatever happened during her reign was the fault of the politicians so worshipped today for their ability to change the earth’s climate, find magical alternatives to fossil fuels or involve NATO in supplying weapons and cash to Ukraine. I daresay that when characters like Trump, Biden or Truss die, there will be a distinct absense of crowds laying flowers outside their residences!
You failed to mention the genocides she supported and falsley presented herself as the angle of truth and dignity
Most of the Irish will be calling him “King Charles the Turd” without even realising it.
They tend to pronounce the word thousand as tousand… LOL!
And taking up office within days of each other… Miss Trust and Charles the Turd… it has quite a ring to it.
Then add into the mix the new cabinet appointments with names like…

I remember beein forced to read 1984 in school in the 80’s. We were told that Oceania was ‘code’ for the communist world. Re reading it on own initiative later it stood clear to me that Oceania is actually Oceania (Anglo-Saxon Empire). It is also obvious where Eurasia and East-asia is located.
In my view the book should be considered for inclusion in the modern bible, maybe just after revelations. The genious of Empire in neutralizing the warning in 1984 is worth a case study. It started with the ‘reality’ show 1984 or Big Brother ? where 24/7 surveilance became fashionable and a claim to fame. Futher acceleration with the launch idiot phones round ’07. Getting people to pay for their own surveilance is the key, wicked evil geniouses.
Be of good cheer. Great Britain hurtles into the unlit uplands with Tin Lizzie and Chuckles Charlie, both anointed by the establishment and neither elected by the people. All this shall pass.
Beautifully written truth !
Very well said, Queen Elizabeth oversaw many atrocities in many countries that were classed as British colonies, no tears will be shed for her in those countries and rightly so.
Australia has allowed itself to become the tip of the spear in the USA’s economic war on China, though Queen Elizabeth did oversee the removal of the democratically elected Australian PM Gough Whitlam for not playing ball and obeying the English governments orders sent to the colony.

‘The absolute ruler may be a Nero, but he is sometimes Titus or Marcus Aurelius; the people is often Nero, and never Marcus Aurelius.’
“Which is better — to be ruled by one tyrant three thousand miles away, or three thousand tyrants one mile away?”
— Rev. Mather Blyes (1706-1788)
Gary North:
I do not celebrate the fourth of July. This goes back to a term paper I wrote in graduate school. It was on colonial taxation in the British North American colonies in 1775. Not counting local taxation, I discovered that the total burden of British imperial taxation was about 1% of national income. It may have been as high as 2.5% in the southern colonies. So, as a result of the American Revolution, the tax burden tripled.
The debt burden soared as soon as the Revolution began. Monetary inflation wiped out the currency system. Price controls in 1777 produced the debacle of Valley Forge.
Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn:
monarchs such as Louis XIV, Frederick II, or George II are genuine liberals by modern standards. None of the aforementioned could have issued a decree whereby he drafted all male subjects into his army, a decree regulating the diet of his citizens, or one demanding a general confession of all his economic activities from the head of each household in the form of an income tax declaration.
We had to wait for the democratic age to see conscription, prohibition, and modern taxation made into laws by the people’s representatives who have much greater power than even the absolute monarchs of old dreamed of.
Modern parliaments can be more peremptory in all their demands because they operate with the magic democratic formula. “We are the people, and the people – that’s us.”
An interesting paragraph on money in America:
“When the early settlers came to America, they brought with them quite a variety of currencies from the continent. Naturally this paper money was only as good as the integrity of those who issued it. The value of that money might rise or fall in proportion to the financial strength of the institution in back of the paper currency. In olden day, communication lines were long and often interrupted. Sometimes colonists found themselves possessing paper currencies of supposed value, only to learn later that they were virtually worthless. In an effort to avoid this problem, pioneers petitioned the British government for the privilege of creating their own currency. It was denied them by George III of England. Benjamin Franklin said:
We would have gladly have borne the tax on tea if we could have been been allowed to create our own money.
When the American colonists were short of money, they used almost anything as a medium oif exchange. they traded with corn and codfish and coonskins. they exchanged whiskey and musket-balls.
It was all legal tender.” Cantelon pgs 41-42
Ultimately Tobacco then became the one source of legal tender…and so it goes….

Thomas Paine was to defend a mild mannered French King :
The Rights of Man Part I (1791 ed.)
https://oll.libertyfund.org/title/paine-the-rights-of-man-part-i-1791-ed
“t was not against Louis the XVIth, but against the despotic principles of the government, that the nation revolted. These principles had not their origin in him, but in the original establishment, many centuries back; and they were become too deeply rooted to be removed, and the augean stable of parasites and plunderers too abominably filthy to be cleansed, by any thing short of a complete and universal revolution. ”
Monarchy, despotism, the Monarch and rights, are there never better unpacked.
While a monarch might personally be kind and generous, they remain the monarch, the head of the state which fights its wars and (on occasion) commits its crimes – all in the name of the Crown.
Why does Bolsonaro support King Charles?
Your sentence dont make sense. Its an article about the Queen. How does Bolsonaro get involved through Prince Charles?
You should be spending more thought on bonnie prince Charlie. Charles III will likely turn the monarchy into a bully pulpit for WWIII, Green deindustrialization, Covid pseudo-medicines, and Sanctions by the gadzillion. You know he does not have to be told what to do; he already knows.
Incredibly entertaining deciphering of events, every comment a bullseye. Some of this is funny as heck at the same time being deadly serious and alarming. Thanks to the author for putting some serious fun into my morning reading, great job.
G’day JGarbo,
Australia’s Constitution was part of an imperial UK statute that ceased to apply once Australia became a sovereign nation.
Australia became a sovereign nation when Australia was a signatory to the Versailles Treaty. That sovereign status was reaffirmed when Australia became a member of the League of Nations and again when Australia became a member of the United Nations.
Anyone who swore or affirmed allegiance to QEII or swears or affirms allegiance to Charles III is committing treason in respect of the Australian population because s/he was/is a foreign Head of State.
Australia’s “system” of governance is ultra vires and a sham as ScoMo’s recent secret ministerial appointments and GovernorGeneral Kerr’s dismissal of the Whitlam government in 1975 evidence.
Australia needs to undertake a constitutional consultation and educational process followed by a Constitutional Convention that draws up a proper Republican Constitution which is then submitted to the Australian population for proper democratic consideration and approval by all adult Australians. It’s late, but better late than never…
Incidentally the Westminster system is also a sham, See: Democracy, Deception, Deceit – they’re all the same https://english.pravda.ru/opinion/126430-democracy_deception_deceit/
“Australia became a sovereign nation when Australia was a signatory to the Versailles Treaty. That sovereign status was reaffirmed when Australia became a member of the League of Nations and again when Australia became a member of the United Nations”. My question to you is, how could this be? For Australia to become lawfully sovereign and no longer a self governing colony of the UK, the s128 Constitutional Referendum Process would first need to be followed, and the majority of the people in the majority of the States, would have to vote “YES”for Australia to extract itself from the UK and de link itself from being a self governing colony of the UK. I say, the Treaty of Versailles could not be lawfully ratified until the Referendum was conducted and we voted YES. The s128 Referendum process is an entrenched provision in the Constitution. Removing the Queen of the UK as Chief Legislator, is actually altering our Federal legislature, which prior to doing so, would also need to first activate the s128 Referendum procedure. This also becomes a manner and form issue where constitutional manner and form provisions were ignored. Australia is a legal basket case.
Despite that she obviously had the traces of a conscience. She, as well as the rest of the Royal family never went to Israel. That sets her apart from all the current so called leaders.
This is a fascinating microcosm of the ongoing success of the global power structure’s propaganda. Even while passionately critical of some frameworks and premises, this piece openly embraces others.
As others have commented, “climate change” as a plaything of the ruling class has little to do with actual environmental protection. “Socialist reform” is used to consolidate power for connected insiders, not benefit ordinary people. Conflicts aren’t “manufactured by the USA”; they are manufactured by transnational, global, predatory, whatever-you-want-to-call-them ruling classes across the world that transcend power bases of any one nationality.
And, most brilliantly captured by the very last sentence, this isn’t a morality play between ‘the East’ and ‘the AngloZionist West’. It’s global coordination among power structures in both the East and the West. That is the distinctive feature of our current form of dystopia, something without precedent to date in the known human history of empires and authoritarian structures and so forth.
Why do you think the institutions are called things like WHO and WTO and IMF and WB and BIS and UNESCO and UNFAO and UNSDGs and on and on and on? The “W” does not stand for ‘West’ and the “U” does not stand for USA. Why do you think supply chains have been made so intentionally and purposefully interdependent between ‘East’ and ‘West’ rather than developing local centers of production around the world?
The imperial propaganda is that this is a conflict between Zone A and Zone B…pick a side, the other guys are evil. The more accurate reality is that this is a conflict between a predatory ruling class just about everywhere coordinating at a global level vs. the ordinary citizens they have been quite successful plundering.
I wonder how many Vietnamese JFK thought his brilliantly imagined Operation Ranch Hand would bring to a premature end?
Some post event estimates are of 400,000 deaths due to a range of cancers and other ailments from exposure to Agent Orange.
Kennedy was simply a member of another Mafia gang. Liz, on the other hand, was a member of the now Globally co-ordinated single Mafia gang. The fawning condolences by practically all World “leaders” is vomit wrenching https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/sep/08/world-leaders-pay-tribute-death-queen-elizabeth-iisickenin (but Trudeau’s must surely take pride of place).
Pol Pot and Jimmy Saville received the same condolences and flowers when they died. Thats just the way it is here on the planet and you cant do a shit about it. https://www.rotarygbi.org/magazine/december-2021-january-2022/funeral-for-a-fiend/
Read the bible you may understand things better ;-).
One thing which I already understood is that there is no British right-wing at all, its all people who want to overthrow British traditions and power, or people who want to suck off the Americans and their whig shite. Which I can’t be bothered with. However articles like this one and other posts online have made this anti-British sentiment held by many people around the world come into full light. When I say anti-British I am talking about how the British react to things, our living traditions. Not the British people. You mock them and the things we love.
I believe Queen was the second worst monarch in British history after George V, I am pleased she is dead because I wanted Charles to take the throne, so we can maybe start dropping the nonsensical commonwealth, like we should the EU and the American Empire. However the mocking of my people by the foreign right-wing is something which turns us inward to our own and what we need to do ourselves. You don’t understand us at all and never will.
GSTK.
People love fantasy. Girls love being the princess and women love being a queen. What you’re asking is for these same people, who happen to be crushed under the daily burden of lies, to give up their fantasies and “wake up”. Not today, mate.
Queen Elizabeth was an old lady that did her service as she saw it. What really astounds me is the way the British celebrate their oppression and absence of democracy. The (unelected) Head of State has died, only to be replaced by another (unelected) Head of State. The death rituals being overseen by an (unelected) Prime Minister, and attended by thousands of (unelected) elite. The six living ex-Prime Ministers incredibly, includes four that reached the position of PM without a General Election. Since 1997, no new Prime Minister has been appointed by winning an election with a democratic majority..
Just remember always and at all times, the schoolyard/neighborhood bully only maintains his stature because you give it to him.
Without exception. Nobody ever ever ever takes power. They are always given power.
In other words, the Queen has literally nothing to do with the “Queen.” It is about the psychology of the people.
But monarchs–whose inherited rule is clearly ridiculous and irrational–make this dynamic particularly obvious.
And so the speculations continues, who are the real puppet masters? Is it DC, City of London or the Vatican? Then there is the wooly wooly – other world entities – gods or aliens or is it the AI super computer gone conscious? Will we ever know?
Not really nice to be talking about a woman who spent most of he life for national service.
And Charles seems to be doing very well in his first few days.
Liz was never born to be Queen but slid into it after Edward VIII pulled the plug.
She could have said no and passed it to Marg or someone else but stuck it out.
She has had to put up with a passing parade of obnoxious PMs from Thatcher, Blair, BoJo and few inbetween. Having to take and sign off on their policies from them would not be a pleasing thing. John Major was the only one she liked (and he got rid of Maggie after that 1990 poll tax fiasco).
Its time for Charlie to take things by the horns and steer things in a new direction rather than this ‘steady as she goes’ into the abyss with wars here, there and everywhere.
I think privately he likes Putin and Russia’s direction.
This passing will be a small sideshow of the overall picture but syncronize with a larger event in the pipeline.
And may reinforce what good old days the UK needs to get back to rather than colluding with the EU & US deep state in their agenda of evil in UKN and elsewhere.
@Santiago
You said… “I think privately he likes Putin and Russia’s direction.”
Really?
Just me, but I would say he is near as Russiaphobic as Miss Trust. He has publically declared solidarity with the US coup installed neo-Nazis in Ukraine. This is consistent with his family’s behaviour now for generations.
Putin is the archetypical polar opposite to Charles the Turd’s blatant Mr Global compliance.
Putin’s visions also spell the downfall of the City of London/Wall Street global financial hegemons. This club has until now enjoyed a free licence to plunder most of the globe.
How will Perfidious Albion cope without this opportunism continuing, given that the country’s economy was already in terminal decline with this apparatus still intact?

Mathew Ehret reveals some home truths about Britain’s new green warrior King.
https://matthewehret.substack.com/p/can-britain-break-from-feudalism
…quoted…
When the Great Reset was officially launched in 2O2O, it was not done so by Klaus Schwab or Bill Gates, but by Charles, Prince of Wales, heir apparent to the British throne.
On top of the “Crown Lands” and “Crown Corporations” which are legally owned by the monarch of Britain, an organization called ‘The Crown Estate’ is one of the world’s largest property groups. Describing the institution which sends 25% of its earnings directly into the Monarch’s purse every year, Die Welt Business had this to say:
“The Crown Estate owns property all across the UK, from castles and cottages to agricultural land and forests plus retail parks and shopping centers. It owns more than half the UK’s entire seashore, giving it hugely valuable auction rights for offshore commercial activity, such as wind farms.”
The Crown controls nearly the entire seabed (and half the seashore) around the UK with any business wishing to build offshore windmills as part of the Green New Deal forced to rent their sea beds from the Crown Estate.
It was noted by Byline Times that the Crown will stand to become “the biggest beneficiary of UK’s Green Agenda” which recently unveiled a 10 point plan for a “green revolution” and full decarbonization by 2050. For anyone confused about the exploding prices of inefficient energy sources across England, they wouldn’t get far without appreciating the tax-payer subsidized boondoggle of windmill farms.
And from a guest writer…
https://matthewehret.substack.com/p/guest-post-charles-empire-the-royal
…quoted…
“The future Charles III seems to be on course to combine the worst elements of both predecessors, fusing old-style feudalism with modern corporate control to forge a “sustainable” global empire built on digital serfdom and impact vampirism.
But it is important to remember that conspiracies cannot succeed if people are wise to what is happening.
By researching and exposing wrong-doing, we can shake off our status as helpless and passive spectators of history in order to become active and engaged participants, part of the resistance.
Charles and his ruling-class collaborators have to dress up their insidious agenda as “doing good”, as “philanthropy” or “conservation”, because they know that otherwise the rest of us would not go along with it.
Once this illusion has been destroyed and the horrible reality exposed, then decent people everywhere will turn their backs definitively on these vile parasites and their evil empire of exploitation.”
King Charles the Turd indeed methinks
Col
Well, from the last 20 years you should know everything only get worse. From Kennedy to Johnson, from Johnson to Bush, from Syria to Ukraine, from the Queen to Charles.
Just wait on to see which monster comes after Charles.
Infantile and impotent.
Not really. It was a decent article. Sure, she was a figurehead, but ultimately, she enjoyed the riches of british/anglo imperialism, so she is as guilty as her handlers.
Hopefully she is being greeted by millions of africans, chinese, native americans, and indians on the other side. It won’t be tea and crumpets that for sure.
I love the movie Braveheart. The one sentence that always stands out is “we’ll breed them out.”
Looking at England today if not most of Europe strange business this Diversity. I’m reminded especially of BGT and how it glorifies diversity through the many talented acts and in the end all for the Queen. But one act in particular raised an alarm and caused me to wonder if entertainment wasn’t being used as a political tool?
Then came Zelensky doing his thing with entertainment and all for the glory of a new Ukraine? Nationalism which given what has occurred with the rest of Europe would amount to what in a few decades its own diversity by welcoming people from every nation except Russia of course and interbreeding with them until what?
I’ve got to say as i have a number of times is there something afoot so diabolical that it repels the mind that it could even be possible?
Too many are asleep at the wheel and being entertained as they go? Yes?
Excellent. Refreshing to have the truth . I, as many othere I’m sure, are already heartily sick of the vomiting inducing sickly propaganda that has been pushed down our throats since the old boot snuffed it. No doubt we will not hear the end of it for a long, long time.
I don’t know what disturbs me most- ‘King’ Big ears or new woke poster girl and warmonger with a handbag Liz Truss. God help or we’re all screwed.

Two words – Jimmy Saville … Medvedev didn’t call them perverts for nothing. She sat as the west descended into madness and insolvency and said or did nothing. Her ‘reign’ literally bookends the peak to fall of the west. God is not mocked.
Sorry, my spelling of Gough was wrong above, I knew it but never fixed it, my bad.
But importantly Australia will not change from being a colony of whatever empire’s going, the removal of Whitlam & half a century of ownership by Murdoch types sees to that. International banking & biz owns everything everyone everywhere, is why war is such a bonanza for all sides, who cares about the moronic cannon fodder – Evidence? – the 20th century’s religion of made up conflict to make a buck, gifting us the zionist state for one + all the centuries before that. We can write about it, but Vs the power of the gun? –
And, humans are the most intelligent species? Maybe China with Russian power will work, but Modi’s Hindutva is no change. Best wishes all
There has been calls to dissolve the monarchy for decades. A punk-rock group called: The Sex Pistols summed it up over forty years ago in their song: “God Save The Queen”. But obviously the monarchy enjoyed enough support to remain in place. But now that the Queen is dead, the effort to dissolve the monarchy should be renewed. Monarchies only work where there is an empire to rule, and the sovereign has real authority, and in the case of the UK, neither applies. Tell the royals to get honest jobs and fend for themselves like everybody else. The other alternative is to dissolve parliament and restore the monarchy. At this point, I don’t see where one is any better than the other, as it is the “City of London” that actually runs things in the UK. Kudos to John Lydon {aka Johnny Rotten}.

All true, except the climate panic and oil depletion are parts of the narrative. They are just more BS. To honour the death of that pointless woman, we should remember the blood dripping off that family’s hands, instead.
‘…extremely privileged lady who, as far as we knew, lacked any talent, apart from doing what she was told to do and saying what she was told to say…’
The Saxe-Coburgs were not selected for their intelligence but rather because they are dutiful and pious. The last Tsar was an extremely pious and kind hearted man (according to a friend who was raised in the Imperial family). The late Queen was also a devout Christian and she took her public duties very seriously. Although there are numerous problems with the institution of monarchy, there are some benefits to a social structure that is surmounted by a religious crown.
‘…removal of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam from office was a soft coup orchestrated by the CIA, collaborating with MI6…’
Eric Arthur Blair was also a collaborator with the intelligence services, who compiled a notorious list condemning his friends and comrades. He was a snitch who worked for the Orwellian IRD.
Unlike ‘Eric Arthur Blair’ Craig Murray actually does know what he’s talking about.

I am renouncing my ancient Anglo-Saxon heritage and considering other renunciations as well.
I am proud of my grandfather of several generations ago, who helped kill redcoats and make a nation of the Brits’ slave colony where I live.
Now we must count on Russia and China to rescue us again from the remnants of the filthy British Empire.
I hope some of their weapons donated to _elinsky get back to the isles soon. The main thing is to vanquish the Commonwealth and related powers by creating a MULTIPOLAR world.
ON TO A MULTIPOLAR WORLD!
As I come from a Republican Irish family, and I was born in England, perhaps my view has some relevance. I hate monarchy, imperialism, and the sycophantic hero worship a certain section of the British public reserve for the royals. I long for the day when we abolish all titles, which I believe I will not live to see. We are all so foolish, longing to elevate others to positions of authority over us. It is as if we are unable to govern ourselves, for fear that we may do it wrong.
I include myself in the ‘We’, because, in my youth, I also thought that others knew better. Experience has shown that they do not. None of them. Not priests, politicians or princes. They are all just men, like me, and you.
We need to stop calling them ‘elites’, and realise that most of them are just power hungry trash.
She met weekly with the present PM. Apparently she was very switched on at these meetings. No slouch.
Shame you are speaking from a position of ignorance.
Barry: if qe2 had any hand in decision making, for which there is no evidence, she was guilty of committing atrocities and crimes.
If she was “switched on” as you say, for which there is no evidence, only the fawning cloying sycophantic obsequious accounts of imperialistic fanboys/bots, then she was aware of and thus complicit in atrocities and crimes
If neither, she was non-entity dutiful establishment puppet
Barry: shame you are speaking from a position of stupidity
Quote from excellent article
https://www.counterpunch.org/2022/09/23/queen-elizabeth-ii-and-the-weight-of-history/
“Supporters of the Queen remarked in the period of the choreographed mourning that the queen did not know about the crimes committed in her name. The media moguls wanted to have it both ways, representing the queen as being astute and following details of the budgets and plans of successive prime ministers, but not being fully aware of the British crimes under her reign.”
Strong evidence that Barry Stephenson is an imperialist media stooge
