SGUK Ep 78 – Part 2 of 3 Book Review of Spare   Introduction Following on from last week’s podcast, this weeks publication focuses on life in the military for Harry, and the way that military life was a preferred place to be for Harry compared to life in the UK as a member of the Royal Family.  He is on record stating this fact many times over the years, but it a key piece of information that the British Royal Family and its media along with key senior staff within the Firm all chose to ignore.  There are golden threads running from Part One of this podcast series, which link directly to many, if not all of the threads in this section with serious implications for the role of Monarchy in the UK and most definitely formed very strong threads feeding into Section Three. I will state here and now, and emphasise it in Part Three,   that the decisions made which led to...

House of Cards SGUK Episode 72 Introduction The 7 pillars are weak. None of them are strong in their own right, and combined they form a weak foundation to build on. The next layer of the construction is inherently weak, not least because no preparation was ever made for the kind of metaphorical bricks that could be utilised in a way that added value potentially and at the very least, maintained solidity in the structure. The approach appears to be picking random bricks that appear available for hire on the ‘help yourself’ skip on Crown land. Only certain shades of bricks are acceptable. The strength of each brick appears not to matter, as long as one is not stronger and longer lasting than the others, as this creates inherent weaknesses to be exposed in all the others. The methodology and approach seems to be, gather the right numbers of bricks from within Crown property services, and ensure that they fit the colour...

Cocoon – The Return to Windsor Episode 70   Context Wikipedia Extract   "About 10,000 years ago, peaceful aliens from the planet Antarea set up an outpost on Earth on Atlantis. When Atlantis sank, twenty aliens were left behind, kept alive in large rock-like cocoons at the bottom of the ocean. Now, a group of Antareans have returned to collect them. Disguising themselves as humans, they rent a house with a swimming pool and charge the water with "life force" to give the cocooned Antareans energy to survive the trip home. They charter a boat from a local captain named Jack, who helps them retrieve the cocoons. After the aliens reveal themselves to him and explain what's going on, he decides to help them. Next door to the house the Antareans are renting is a retirement home. Three of its residents, Ben, Arthur, and Joe, often trespass to swim in the pool next door. They absorb some of the recently charge life force, making them feel younger and stronger....

The Magnificent 7 Coming to a Town Near You   Introduction This podcast centres on the new King of the UK and the changes which are imminent with someone new at the helm and who has waited for most of his life to take on this role. Ie most of his 70+ years. In usual UK Monarchy style, things come into the public domain by rumour and innuendo and shade, and always by an unknown source.  To help disseminate the desired message of theme from a message, the BRF use it media arm the Royal Rota, which officially are representatives from a number of popular press here in the UK, but in reality are a group of tabloid newspapers, which the UK popularises as reputable sources for news, and all those in the Royal Rota have an unwritten agreement to popularise the BRF by hunting down anyone who is seen not to show deference to the family, rather than news media hold the UK...

The Fish Rots from its Head Episode 68 Introduction There is an old saying that a fish rots from the head down.  It is phrase that is known in China and in Europe from the period of the Middle Ages. It is certainly a phrase that I heard my parents say throughout my childhood, usually referring to people at the top of organisations. If you look up this phrase, there are a variety of explanations given as to the exact meaning, but all of them are consistent with the notion that the top determines the content.  Ie if the leader of the organisation is poor and ineffective, then it follows the organisation culture and style will replicate that same approach and tone. In one of the reference sources listed below, it refers to a number of corporate scandals which in their own way reflected the fish rotting from the head scenario.  One company it mentioned was Enron, where the Chairman appeared unwilling or unable...

I Can't Believe What You Say, Because I See What You Do. SGUK Podcast Episode 60     Introduction This podcast looks at the less than confident belief that the UK Monarchy and its partners have certain sectors of the population in their thoughts with their apparent views on those sectors.  Partners in this case are, as I have stated many times in previous podcasts are as follows:- government, aristocracy, police, media – both printed and televised.  As the title suggests, those perceptions are based on what each of those societal groups do, not what they say when elections are near, or any of their fellow groups mentioned are in the limelight for not so glowing reasons.  As usual, each have the others backs because each of them on their own, are less powerful, than when they come together. The extreme views held by many in these groups, and that is not assumption, there is hard evidence readily available.  The protection of each other preserves and...

Still They Rise Ep 57   Introduction This week’s podcast explores the continuous rise of The Sussexes despite the barrage of negativity that has been sent their way since the middle of 2016, and the hurdles placed frequently in front of them since their engagement and their marriage in 2018.  We will touch upon the intentions behind those who placed those hurdles hoping that the couple would fail in their aims in life, and we also look at the Institutions behind the campaign of hate which has now become a high value income generator for single purpose hate accounts on social media, and a new influx of income for organisations and owners of social media platforms.  Currently there are limited elements of the law that can be pursued against those inciting hate, and there are next to no legal actions that can be taken against any entity or group or decides that the income is worth the risk, which is currently low. Against this whole...

The Psychology of Resentment (Individuals – Groups – Dysfunctional Families – A Country)   Introduction This week’s podcast examines the phenomenon of the growth of negative coverage of one person, which developed into an industry of hate, commencing with the odd person voicing concerns, and then groups, and 2 dysfunctional families to apparently a whole nation – all according to the UK printed and televised media industry.  None of the media industry personnel who have gone on to develop increased profile careers wallowing in this cesspool of hatred have met the person who has become their target, and none of the groups which have emerged since 2016 when the target came to the attention of the UK population, particularly those who read tabloids, have met the target either.  Apparently UK media speak for the whole country, as they like to run polls with very carefully worded, and where powerful aristocratic families have relatives in senior positions in the polling organisations used and publicised in...

Welcome to the Windsor Twilight Zone   Introduction & Context – The Framework for a Windsor Twilight Zone The Twilight Zone was a TV series that first appeared on our screens in 1959.  The idea for this unique tv template was the brainchild of an Emmy award winning writer, Rod Sterling. Rod Sterling became the host and wrote around 80 of the 150+ episodes that aired.  Descriptions are abundant on the internet, including this one, “It is a strange mix of horror, science-fiction, drama, comedy and superstition. Sterling introduced each episode, and many of the black and white episodes concluded with a surprise ending.  Actors such as Burt Reynolds, Roddy McDowell and Robert Redford made appearances in some of the more well known stories.” The first series ran from 1959 to 1964.  2nd series ran from 1985 to 1989.  In 2019 a new Twilight Zone TV series was developed based on the 1959 series. The narrator for this new series was one of the...

A Nation That Creates News to Balance the Scales Is a Nation With A Failing Economy     Introduction The UK has developed a reputation where the minority of the population still read newspapers, and their newspapers of choice are tabloids.  Tabloids used to be seen as entertainment and gossip, and something that people read as a pleasant distraction from harsh cruel realities of life in places around the world.  Tabloids were particularly popular on a Sunday, as they were seen as legitimate sources to read for amusement, as very few people read serious newspapers on the day renowned as being a day of rest.  The members of the population who read newspapers based on how they wanted friends and colleagues to rate them – both in the workplace as well as outside of it – rating in terms of obvious intellect and a desire to get to the nuts and bolts of a discussion on topics which occupied enquiring minds. The latter group...

Scapegoating – The Psychology of Family/Group Dynamics SGUK Podcast Episode 36 – 20/02/22   Introduction Todays podcast, expands on topics we have previously discussed in the SGUK podcasts to date, ie Dysfunctional family dynamics, Group Dynamics, in particular the levels of control and how hatred and discriminatory behaviour patterns begin to merge, and how there is a wealth of academic research into how the hatred grows, and the levels in the structure dictate the application of that professed hatred.  We explored how those that progress through the ranks of their group structure, emerges as a validation of their worth in their own eyes, and feel that there is a level of camaraderie and friendship that does not exist outside that bubble.  There is a general feeling that anyone outside of the group is a threat in some way, and the delusion grows into dangerous proportions with time and progression through the group.  We also looked at how narcissists function in such a structure, and...
