Quick Take…The King’s Speech Makes Me Laugh

The King’s Speech is hilarious these days. It’s been irrelevant for a long time, but it’s recently become genuinely funny.

He rocks up to Parliament with this shiny hat and big old cloak, the MPs pretend to lock Black Rod out to show they’re independent, and then they all go and listen to him anyway.

If the King were really a ruler it would at least mean something. But despite the trappings of a constitutional monarchy, he’s really not at the top of the food chain.

The speech we all have to listen to him give was not written by him, and he likely has no control over its content at all. It’s supposedly written by his government, but that’s not really true either.

It’s a globalist policy document.

Jury trials bad. Digital ID good.

It’s a speech that could have been given – and, in fact, either already has been given, or soon will be given – by any politician in almost any country of the world.

Sir Keir Starmer is currently only Prime Minister because he’s piled furniture up against the inside of Downing Street’s front door, and keeps hurling cans of baked beans off the roof at anyone who comes near the place; but supposing the increasingly inevitable resignation had already happened…would a new Prime Minister have changed the speech?

Not in the slightest.

Would a new government under a different party?

Not really.

Would a different king or queen?

Nope.

It’s all pretend, none of these people really have any power – over the speech or each other – but it serves egos and systems to pretend they do, so MPs crowd around the big gold chair like kids in the story-time corner and nod along sagely to words they know his royal highness might not mean and couldn’t change if he wanted to.

That’s just funny to me.

As Trump and his AI billionaire entourage hits Beijing – Trump shakes hands with Xi, but by the looks of things Xi can’t wait to get away from Trump – of course its East meets West, in the hegemony game, of which we are stuck in the middle.

Kit puts his finger on the real problem of “democracy” in the West. All of the political leaders of the nations in the west are nothing more than dressed up ventriloquist dummies propped up on a stage to speak words they have no idea the meaning of. The photo of King what’s his name above is a perfect example. Trump is another one. He’s an ignorant front man, a ventriloquist’s dummy. All these nations are run by a very poorly known group of oligarchs. Who is it that has his arm up King Charles ass and is moving his mouth as he seems to speak. Whose arm is up Trump’s ass. We don’t really know much about who these ventriloquists are but we do know their agenda for the masses of people and, indeed, for the world.

I have to say the quality of the dummies has been doing down over the years. Reagan was a much more persuasive dummy than Trump or Keir Starmer. But that hardly matters. Dummies come and go, and a new one every so often is probably all we can expect.

The real question facing the West is who are the “Power Elite” or the ventriloquists with their arms up the asses of our elected leaders? I use the term “power elite” because that is the name of a very famous book by C. Wright Mills written in 1956 which identified the military and corporate powers behind elected leaders in the US and Europe. We’ve been asking this question for 75 years and have gotten no where. There have been many attempts to identify these secret rulers over the years, but the deep fraud of democracy still is unchallenged. Trump campaigned against the “Deep State” but once elected he has shown himself to be a dummy of the Deep State just as much as Biden was or Harris would have been.

Probably the only conclusion is that there never has been such thing as “democracy” in the west. The people have never ruled their nations. Wealth, military force, and elite institutions have always ruled and there’s no sign of them giving up. By contrast, there is real democracy in the East. China is our best model. It does not have the obscene orgies of elections. Its leaders are chosen for their experience and records of working for the people. All we have to do is compare the records of China since the end of WW II to any nation of the West.

Two very good discussions including our mates Catherine Austin Fitts, Iain Davis and Charlie Robinson. Simon Dixon in both discussions.

All the world’s a stage.

I’d sooner see the old queen’s corgies on the throne. Which one? I dunno… there’s gotta be an elder matron bitch in the bunch.

That said, I’d rather a googlie-eyed rock in the Oval office than the psychpathic cheet-o currently proclaiming to be the master of the universe.

Yes all very true – but the inane laws they force on us – are in the most part detrimental to the masses, so they may not be at the very top of the food chain, but King Charlie and his politicians can, and do – make our lives that bit more difficult.

Starmer, will be replaced by a similar obedient drone, of that we can be sure.

So, who wants Starmer out and why? There must be powerful people somewhere in Britain, even if they are quite likely in collusion with the United States, otherwise they wouldn’t be trying so hard to oust him. Equally, Starmer must have some power, even if it is basically as a PR man for the rulers, or there would be no need for a change. Of course, it could all be a complete distraction. Yet the timing after his refusal to join the US war and with ‘decade since Brexit’ date looming is suspect. Aren’t the King’s over-the-top trapping probably deliberate to hide the true power of the monarchy? People need to think he looks silly and powerless.

“My Ministers will also proceed with the introduction of Digital ID that will modernise how citizens interact with public services [Digital Access to Services Bill].”

“It will continue its unflinching support for the brave people of Ukraine, who fight on the frontline of freedom.”

“My Government will also uphold the United Kingdom’s unbreakable commitment to NATO and our NATO allies, including through a sustained increase in defence spending.”

“The nation’s energy security requires long-term investment and reform, as demonstrated by recent events in the Middle East. Increased production of clean British energy will help to ensure that enemies of the United Kingdom cannot attack the economic security of the British people. My Ministers will therefore introduce an Energy Independence Bill to scale-up homegrown renewable energy”.

There’s plenty more but that’ll do for starters. BTW I didn’t spot even a token mention of inflation or anything that doesn’t fit in with UN Sustainable Development Goals, Agenda 2030 and the Great Reset. It’s straight outta Bilderberg and Davos with a quick pit-stop at Fabian HQ.

“Is there enough money in the system to pay back all the loans if no-one else took out a loan?”

The answer to that question is no. The banking system is fraud.

Governments have to “borrow” money so they have to do what the banks want.

Same for Charlie.

I’m just glad that the population has become less violent and stupid.
Only a few decades ago we had apartheid, for example.

They say people are getting dumber, but I think the past generations were more gullible.
IQ is just a focused benchmark of intelligence.
There’s a lot more to intelligence than just logic…

They are certainly working on reducing intelligence in a variety of ways. If do you break out, there is always the resort to violence: a late night raid, discovering a manifesto and weapons, etc.

You’re right Kit, doesn’t matter who is king, p.m. or president, the agenda rolls on.

I believe the next UK puppet p.m. will be Farage, close friend of Vance and Thiel. All Farage’s pre-election promises will be reversed after he is elected, just like fellow puppet in the US, the “peace president”. Ho hum.

What’s up with their posture? They can’t even hold their own heads up Including the woman on the right and the little kid on the left. Weird and ugly looking.

The System is autonomous, no one, or group is in charge. Some like to think
they are, but they too obey. They’re trying to lasso the beast, tie it down.
Every crisis is a failure to do so. .. Hoomins are so clever – some more than
others. Look at the pickle they’re in – they cant control their own creation, but
are controlled by it…

I neither had to watch it or knew it had happened until you mentioned it. Their pathetic attempt to appeal to the masses by telling that guy he can’t come in was pretty laughable though

I have heard several times by British MP’s that “it is checked with the Royals”. Meaning when something important is about to be adopted they seek confirmation from the King.

I could not have a job like that. An enormous pressure and responsibility toward too many people.
But as European born into nobility of Kings, Queens, Princesses, Princes, Dukes, Duchess, Barons, Baronesses, Mademoiselle, I already said we cant lie down in the mud with a riffle in the coming war against…..you name it.

As King Charles said, US truly fulfil this low life buffer role…and an old friend and hang on.
