Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
Ep 71
Introduction
Which successful business out there, even the small family businesses out there, wait for their CEO to die before they allow the next one chosen to be CEO is allowed to step into the role? Alternatively the companies start to look for a new CEO, and have them waiting in the wings for a few months to acclimatise and then step into the role knowing what they need to. It is almost certain the outgoing family member, will not be frail and in their 90s.
Hereditary Monarchies come with inherent risks, along with a myriad of additional concerning factors. A separate podcast would be required to explore those. I also focus all of my podcasts on the activities of Harry and Meghan, and/or the actions of The British Royal Family, and the impact upon Harry and Meghan, or worse, when detritus hits the fan of the BRF, their ‘strive to be average to poor’ Public Relations team, endeavour to cling to Harry and Meghan for click bait purposes, or even clout when it suits. We see and recognise the games on that score, and it never works with sensible people, and only results in reinforcing the desperation of the UK flagship family, revealing itself accidently through the brocade curtains of the plantation.
The 1st in Line has no fear of having no experience or not possessing the range of skills that his father had at his age, because he had a very able brother to do all the heavy lifting. None of the Royalists appeared to worry either, because no one is ever meant to leave, and if you do, it is akin to trying to leave a cult. Most fail, and those that have suffer extreme mental trauma from the experience of being hunted down, and the Cult members who are taken back are then watched even more. The Royal Family is very much the same thing, although many out there refuse to admit the similarities. Right now there is another Monarchy, with someone who tried to get away and after a few months, is now back in the fold, supposedly in a medical unit on the premises and rarely seen by her own children. People in the UK need to open their eyes and really see what has been going on since 2016, and how it is been ramped up since 2020.
Hereditary Monarchies are a lottery, and the people who lose when it goes wrong is the country. Just look at how the BRF imploded when Harry walked away and took his family with him. Look at the stresses showing on Williams face since his footstool has moved. Look at the helpers who have been dusted off and polished in an effort to make them look stately, and ‘helping’ out. Most of the Magnificent 7 are close in age to Charles, or others are near to reaching state retirement age. None of them can read a room, and I suspect that the courtiers are similar in age, and definitely cannot read a room. At a time of austerity and the UK forecast to have a recession before the end of the year, and increasing number of people struggling to buy food or heat their homes this winter, and many retired people suffering on both fronts – now was not the time to have a 4 day or even a one day Jubilee party by very affluent people celebrating someone refusing to leave her post. Out of respect for an elderly person’s wishes, the propaganda machine was in full swing, for the whole country to go without essentials being seen to be respectful to the Queen. I don’t know why the family could not have celebrated in one of the properties we pay for already, and all the food and drink at such a party we pay for too, but it would be a drop in the ocean compared to what this 4 days of indulgence represented, and all the fighting and arguing in the lead up to it.
If the Workforce includes the BRF, it surely does not seem like any kind of planning has been done in terms of continuity. There is still the propaganda being spouted by the Media clones, that Harry leaving the working Royals has caused it to almost implode on itself. According to one media hack he is “destroying the Monarchy” and ‘Prince Charles and William have so much work to do already, they cannot take on any more’. Well if that is the case, then it begs the question what are the rest of them doing all this time. If Harry stepping down from the institution causes the Monarchy to collapse on itself, then it speaks volumes about the lack of strategic thinking when it was decided that The Queen could just carry on until she is called elsewhere, and the Cambridges could swan about for 10 years, and in William’s case, officially having two part time jobs, neither of which did he apparently spend the required hours with; seems like something that looks good on paper and sounds plausible when explaining his lack of projects. Royal Reporters were quoted as stating that “Prince William is on a different path” to Harry, so he cant undertake the volume of duties that Harry manages to do. My perspective, is it would be good to see one completed project for each of the Cambridges after 20 years, and as things stand, the UK does not even have one between them.
The UK Monarchy is woefully unprepared for what is imminent, and the next two decades are going to be rocky, and that is if they last that long.
Lessons Never Sought or Taken on Board
The Age Profile of the so called Magnificent 7 ( Charles & Camilla, Princess Anne, William & Kate, Edward & Sophie) is beyond critical stage Anne has high ‘work’ figures in the annual accounts, but I never see her referred to as being part of this group of 7 saviours in the media. In fact, the actual outputs of the senior Royals, are not generally measurable, so at this stage I am not sure what their contribution is anyway.
The British Royal Family is not in a healthy state. The sad thing about all of this, none of these individuals have suddenly landed on earth in the last few years. The country and its government just expected The Queen to last to be a 100 or so, and when she was no longer with us, her eldest son Prince Charles would take over. Zero thought given to the age profile of the Royal Family Senior members over the last 40 years. A childlike assumption, that when one person goes, you just plug in another one.
Even if all of the 7 were like top performing executives, with lots of ideas, and high productivity with measurable outputs, the fact remains that the BRF is on life support, and the lights are going out in terms of popularity. The age group of the support base, will be visibly reducing each year, with new supporters being nowhere near enough to replace the older age groups.
Entitlement and Arrogance Combined with Lack of Skill is the Risk for the UK
In the Conclusion of this podcast I will outline my overriding belief as to why this British Royal Family, and its approach to trying to cling on to power and a way of life that has existed for centuries, will fail. It does not matter how many years it takes, there wont be many years to wait before the inevitable happens, and historians in the future, will look back and wonder why the UK allowed this to happen. Having said that, I do believe that ultimately all Monarchies will disappear from the landscape, by force or choice. Until then, let us explore the journey down the yellow brick road, and peruse on a few raised pavestones along the way.
A King of the People?
Despite recent polls in tabloids that have an agreement with the British Royal Family to present them in a positive light, take apparent results from them with a pinch of salt, particularly where one of those polling organisations has a relative of one senior Royal in a very senior position in the organisation. Never forget that the Royal Rota was set up in the 70s to ensure that the BRF had positive press most of the time – a modern day propaganda crew without a backdrop of war.
King Charles’ popularity took a huge hit over his treatment of Diana, and the public have never really forgiven him for it. Charles publicly admitted that he started having an affair with Camilla Parker Bowles in 1986 while he was still married to Princess Diana. There is information that the liaison occurred before Charles married Diana, but there were particular requirements of the woman that Charles would be allowed to marry, one of which was that the woman in question would have to be ‘pure’ which immediately negated all of Charles lady friends, and naturally if any were married at the time of the courtship with the Prince. Charles treated Diana very badly, some of it in the public eye, and to watch Princess Diana become less of herself as time went on, the public supported her more, and went out of their way to show her affection, and at the same time, increasingly became more critical of the then Prince Charles. The more visible and audible support that Princess Diana received on any public engagements, the more it seemed that the ego of Prince Charles was taking a continual battering. The more unhappy Princess Diana visible became, the more the public let Charles know, they were not amused.
I remember those days, and to this day, I have never and will never forgive him for the treatment of Princess Diana. Never.
I do recognise that he has many skills, and that he did not sit around waiting for the Crown to be placed on his head. He did develop a range of projects, most of which are hugely successful today, and have measurable and clear outcomes each year. His eldest son and heir cannot say the same, and he equally has no redeeming factors when it comes to his marriage either; the difference is, Kate may not be happy with the state of things, but her love of becoming Queen Consort overrides everything else. There is no official evidence ever been produced, but again, those with common sense and eyesight can see the evidence as plain as day. Kate hung around for 10 years, waiting for William to pop the question. He was visibly entertaining other women, and that was never an issue. There was a brief break up during that time, but very brief, and they soon got back together again. It seems to all thinking people, that an understanding was reached, and so here we are two decade later, playing happy families, and all is right with the world. The Queen Consort role is within Kate’s grasp now, likewise, the Kingship is within William’s grasp too. Neither one will be effective on the throne, as it is all about titles and perceived power that comes with the Titles. It has zero to do with outcomes that benefit the country. It has always been to secure the position as was promised to him from birth, and have others do tasks. Since Prince Harry stepped back from being the Royal flunkie and the target for abuse for him and his family, the first in line to the throne now, has spent all of his waking hours, pursuing vanity projects at public expense. Projects that 100% aim to replicate what The Sussexes have achieved and are achieving since stepping back from Royal Life and becoming independently financed. Each one of the new Prince of Wales endeavours, aims to repeat what his brother has done, and going as far as visiting the same places and trying to link up with elected officials etc. It is so obvious it is cringeworthy, and worse, it has zero outcomes for the UK, but everything to stroke fragile egos. In fact the evidence is there in abundance, that the treatment of The Sussexes these last 4 years plus, has been a direct result of fragile egos of the two then heirs, over the successful project outcomes of Archewell to date, and the earnings of the Sussexes. All the hurdles placed in front of the Sussexes, such as withdrawing security and finance did not cause the couple to return to abuse behind the gilded gates in the UK, and the couple are already set for life financially, alongside giving to a wide variety of charitable causes. To add salt to the wounds of the fragile egos on the plantation behind gilded gates, Harry and Meghan are being invited places to discuss other projects, with global business leaders. The fragile egos are the ones who are inviting themselves places. To date, none of these activities by Royals are benefiting the UK in any way whatsoever.
With every effort to place themselves in a high profile setting, it only serves to invite an audience to see the Royal vessel sinking further to the bottom of the virtual ocean that they bounce along with every day.
The Crown – Season 5
I have never watched a second of footage from the Crown series, let alone an episode or a series. My reason for that is purely because I have never been a Royalist. Never. Took no interest in them from a young age. Could never see the relevance to my family or the people in our neighbourhood. My interest was suddenly heightened by the appearance of Lady Diana onto the scene. I warmed to her, and could never see the attraction between these two people. I thought that Diana was flattered that a Prince of the realm took an interest in her, but I am not sure I saw love at the start. Once the gutter UK tabloid press got involved, things became what the UK tabloid press is known for, and I loved her more as a result. During the marriage, I loved to see the few seconds of footage of her and two “boys”. Charles never looked certain of what he should do in a father role. I may be wrong on that, but my impression he loved them in the way that he ‘knew love’ but he was not at ease – he was playing a role of father as he thought it should be played, in my opinion. He was brought up to focus on the heir, and that became quite evident very quickly. I still did not see love as such, I saw duty. With Diana I saw love for her husband eventually and I saw love pouring out everywhere from Diana for her children. Her desire to try and show them normal life outside of the palace gates, was commendable, and made me like her even more. The moment when she said publicly that she knew that William would be looked after, because he was the heir, she would ensure that Harry knew love, and that he would have extra attention, so that he never felt less than, because he was deemed the Spare. Her interactions with both of her children endeared her to me, and to this day, I feel a love for her, a person I never knew, but she was like family. I saw a woman go from happiness to such pain, whilst in that marriage, and I will never ever forget the treatment. All the footage of Diana speaking her truth, and the lengths she went through to ensure that she got her voice out there, despite the palace machinery against her, is a permanent database of information that the Royals will never erase from history. As much as they have used their power to prevent tv networks from showing certain things, millions of people around the world know what they saw and heard, and many of those millions have receipts of such activity. On this occasion and subsequent efforts of the palace machinery to silence The Sussexes, has been a huge fail.
I understand that the Crown will be depicting many difficult moments for the Royal family, and the fact that they have had their flunkies make so much drama and protesting about the content. Tried their best to put pressure on Netflix to remove certain elements, or at least to place a warning that this is a fictional drama etc etc. Netflix already have such a notice on every series shown so far, I understand, and they have no intention of adding any more. Despite the pressure and coercion tried to date, unlike organisations within the UK who feel that they have to bow down to Royalty if they want their business in the future, they heed such warnings or in the case of the BBC, all footage of Diana speaking her truth will never be shown again. Netflix has no such pressure, and it is not beholden to any British entity, including the BRF, and more than anything, all that is depicted actually happened, even if the words of the conversations depicted are not wholly accurate, as it says in its disclaimer, it is a drama based on factual events.
What the BRF has done by all the drama whipped before the series has even aired, it gave even more publicity to the drama series, and subscriptions have increased by multiple figure for Netflix, which I am sure is not the outcome the BRF were looking for. 😊
The same Royal Playbook was used for a whole week before the Harry and Meghan interview with Oprah was aired in March 2021. The Royal Rota spent the whole 7 days before the interview complaining about things that they thought the couple would talk about, and were blowing smoke out of every orifice in defence of the Royals, when in fact none of what they were making all this fuss about actually was spoken about on the day. All they did was reveal events and actions taken against one or both of the Sussexes at some time or other, and were trying to head off that information at the pass, so to speak. Such fools. They just provided evidence for more than one potential court case in the future. It was a spectacle to see. Sheer comedy.
Meanwhile, The Sussexes had provided insurance for themselves, if certain things took place, following the interview. No better receipt than one the whole world has seen, and footage that cannot be ordered to be removed. The record now exists. The Sussexes took their power back.
So, I look forward to the news headlines each week from foreign press about each episode. I have had all UK newspapers blocked from my platforms since early 2017. I have all Royal Reporters, and all tv media people who are on the Royal flunky list, banned from my platforms too. I refuse to give them engagement figures for their bile and lies. Karma is working its way through all those people who have raised their career profile by hating on The Sussexes, Meghan in particular, and each and every one of them, is discovering an adverse impact on their livelihood subsequently, all done by their own actions. It is glorious to sit back and watch each one pinned by a dart on the dartboard of Sussex haters. All by their own actions. Karma in action. All of them, no mater how many years it takes, will meet their karma too. We supporters love to see it. We just sit back and chilling watching karma do its work.
The Royals and Royal Rota has ensured that The Crown Series 5 will be another success.
How the UK Became One of the Poorest Countries in Western Europe
“Britain chose finance over industry, austerity over investment, and a closed economy over openness to the world.” By Derek Thompson Oct 25th 2022. Full report in the Reference Sources below.
“The past few months have been rough for the UK. Energy prioces are soaring. National Inflation has breached double digits. The longest serving British monarch has died. The shortest serving Prime Minister has quit.”
“Behind the lurid headlines, however, is a deeper story of decades-long economic dysfunction that holds lessons for the future.”
“Britain is pretty poor for a rich place. UK living standards and wages have fallen significantly behind those of Western Europe. By some measures, in fact, real wages in the UK are lower than they were 15 years and will likely be even lower next year.
“Today, Britain seems trapped between a left-wing aversion to growth and a right-wing aversion to openness. On the academic left, the U.K. has lately been home to a surging movement called degrowtherism, which asserts that saving the planet requires rich countries to stop seeking growth. On the right, the electorate is dominated by older voters who care more about culture wars than about competitiveness. “In 2019, when Boris Johnson and the Conservative Party won a big majority in the House of Commons, most people of working age did not vote for them,” Weldon told me. “I’m pretty sure that’s the first time that’s ever happened. You have this post-economic, older, economically insulated voting bloc that could afford to be anti-growth almost as a luxury, because they don’t have to care about economic outcomes.”
“The U.K. is now an object lesson for other countries dealing with a dark triad of deindustrialization, degrowth, and denigration of foreigners. Having offshored industry in favour of finance, its economy wasn’t resilient. The resulting erosion in living standards made the public desperate for something to blame. Blame-seeking conservatives spotted bogeymen abroad. Brexit cut off the economy from further growth and set the stage for a rolling political circus.”
Conclusions – My Thoughts Why I Will Never Believe Anything Verbally Stated or Implied by any Member of the BRF
The British Royal Family is forever tainted now with the treatment of Meghan and Harry. Harry has been abused all his life as the Spare in the popularity line up that is always employed in hereditary Monarchies, and then the family and The Firm turned all the big guns in his direction and tried to blast Harry out of the metaphorical water of Royal life, because he dared to love someone more than the Firm, and that someone was a person of colour, so the audacity of Harry the blue blood was considered a traitorous act. A traitor against the Firm and White Supremacy combined. The Firm thought that the metaphorical blast out to sea would somehow bring Harry’s senses back to him and that he would leave his wife and children to swim for themselves and he would return to the plantation behind gilded gates once again, and resume footstool duties for his older brother, and be the pinata toy for the UK tabloids, along with being the distraction story for any wrong doing by others in the BRF.
The firm, via its friends in the media employed private investigators to try and find ‘dirt’ on Meghan – nothing was found, but the Firm were intent on finding a way to stop this relationship.
Meghan’s father was then invited into the plan to stop the wedding, and all manner of resources was thrown at the ‘problem’. To this day, the source of that funding has never come to light, but in terms of the involvement of individuals connected to the Firm, I imagine, but I don’t know the facts, that public money would most likely have contributed in some shape or form. What we do know, is that tabloids were involved in a variety of ways, and tabloid publications in the USA owed by a certain media mogul, were also named by Meghan’s father one morning on Australian tv. That footage was taken down in hours, and the said person has never been invited back on that Australian tv production, where he has several appearances previously, along with two of his adult children also having star treatment by the same network. The rogue guest has not been invited back since on Australian or UK breakfast tv network.
Of all the people who married into the UK Royal family, particularly married to Senior Royals, all had a budget allocated for them, to pay for expenses whilst representing the BRF on Royal engagements and tours. Only Meghan was refused such assistance. The excuse was used that there was no money left in the supplies, and that perhaps Meghan could return to acting in some way, to give herself a source of income, to pay for expenses whilst undertaking Royal duties!!!!! Harry was the person who let this piece of information out of the bag, so it is not heresay.
Meghan paid for her own expenses and as we all know every visit and tour was hugely successful. Meghan was a multi millionaire before she joined the BRF, so I am not sure if they expected her to wear Primark or Walmart or similar, but not only did Meghan look like a million dollars, she had bespoke outfits made by designers in the countries that she was visiting on behalf of the Queen, and had those items and all her clothes paid for out her own money. Every outfit from designers who specialised in sustainable products. On occasion wearing very expensive garments and shoes that she already owned. Did not stop the UK tabloids reporting on every item of clothing and jewellery on these Royal duties, implying that too much of public funds was being used in this way – all the time with them knowing Meghan did not receive one dime from the Monarchy funds. All part of building the level of dislike and then hatred for a person that they did not want in their family.
It is on record and on film that something took place on the evening of the wedding against Meghan, but no reporter is allowed to write about it, due to legal reasons. The media person who said all of this on camera, said that if the public knew what had happened, they would fully understand why the Sussexes were justified in leaving the UK. All adds up to the conclusion that even on that day, away from cameras, Meghan was not welcomed into that family. Only a Senior Royal is protected in this way, so that immediately narrows down the field as to who did what to Meghan that day. One day truth will come out.
Meghan had suicidal ideation by the time she was pregnant with her first child, and was refused help from Royal HR because it was said that it would look bad for the BRF. Assistance was provided by someone recommended by the Spencer family.
Withdrawing security and funding when the Sussex family were in Canada and then informing tabloids of their location, will never be something that can be justified.
Doing the same thing again when the Sussexes were living in a Tyler Perry property in California, and tabloids were once again in the area, can never be justified.
The family purchased their own home in California, which should be a clear enough message that the Sussexes were in their new home, and would not be returning to the UK.
The UK tabloid never let up, and when Meghan and Harry suffered a miscarriage, the reporting by UK tabloids reached a new low. I will never ever forgive the few headlines I saw on social media, and some people showed screen shots of some of the paragraphs. Absolutely gut wrenching. As someone who experienced a miscarriage many years ago, even I found new depths in which I consider the UK tabloid garbage personnel reside. I did a podcast on that topic, and it took 3 attempts before I could publish my thoughts. I consider them to be trash and anything demise or suffering that any of them experience in years to come, it will be just a moment of discomfort compared to what you all did, and feel that you can continue to do to Meghan in particular, for the coming years, but you are all wrong. History will show the outcome of the approach taken by BRF and UK Tabloids by the invisible contract, and both entities will cease to exist in decades to come.
The excuse before was that they were UK tax payer funded, and therefore merited the scrutiny. Now the Sussexes are no longer tax payer funded, but the family and its tabloids still pursue them, and incite hatred in a variety of ways that has been spoken about before. I have no need to repeat those various methods, but one day they will come to light in a different setting, and it wont be from any Squad member.
One Rota reporter is in print as saying that despite their original protestations that they would stop reporting on the Sussexes post April 2021, they have continued because writing on the Sussexes is “gold” for them. Clearly as the rest of the BRF barely appear in the press each week, and certainly do not appear every day, The Sussexes reach double figures a day for each tabloid. No wonder the reporter in question admitted in print that the Sussexes were “gold”. More money is made from writing about Harry and Meghan, than any other member of the BRF who are in fact tax funded. Meghan and Harry are independently financed, and their articles are full of hate inciting bile, and the comment sections of each tabloid, is a haven for toxic racist comments which are left to stand. This too will come back to haunt you all, even if you remove them now.
So, with a just a few examples above, to reinforce my views on the BRF, until or unless you were to put right all those wrongs above, and some cannot be excused by erasure………….
Until Harry and Meghan and their children are treated with respect as regular members of the BRF without having to live amongst you to be abused at will in the future…………….
Until you make an effort to understand the mistakes you made and change your approach to interactions with people of colour, you will all stagnate in your stale dehydrated environment which you all occupy and feel privileged and safe to do so, when in fact the future of the Monarchy is not secured………….
Whether you take two years to visit the Commonwealth, as stated in recently on UK news programmes, without the backdrop of the all the above points mentioned in this Conclusion, less and less people will be interested. No charm offensive can erase the fact that the first POC to enter the Royal family was hounded out of the UK with the BRF blessing……… You only wanted Harry to return………….
The abuse of a USA citizen on UK soil for 3 years cannot be erased – but can be dealt with in other ways………….
The continued abuse of a USA citizen and her husband and family (both children have dual nationality) on USA cannot be erased – but can be dealt with in other ways……………..
No conversation with anyone from any Commonwealth country can be sincere when the BRF could not welcome and be civil to the first POC to enter the family. No smile or false charm initiative will work. The Master and Slave mentality was used on Harry and Meghan, and no doubt an attempt will be tried on the Commonwealth. The BRF is about to go through some things.
There is no member of that the 7 senior Royals that I consider a friend of any POC, so anything spoken by any of them to any ethnic group of colour will be seen as insincere, because there is nothing to back it up. All you use is words.
You are sinking in the sea of hatred created by BRF and its tabloid pals. You may think you are safe because you are in a submarine. It may even be a yellow one made famous by the English group The Beatles. You may stay below the surface for a while because it is safer to be out of sight and let others take the blows on your behalf for a while. However, even a submarine has to surface and face the difficulties not least because you will run out of air sitting at the bottom of the sea.
I think you will find over the coming years, the lifespan of a UK Monarchy will come to an end. The heir apparent is definitely not going to save it – he will be more concerned about saving himself. The saying ‘you reap what you sow’ comes to mind.
Post Script:-
With all the things that people who claim to hate (not dislike, but hate) The Sussexes, particularly Meghan, choose to ignore, and do not consider any of those claimed behaviours/activities to be detrimental to the Monarchy even though most of them are criminal activity. Yet, there is a whole industry built on hating someone because of the colour of their skin, but none of these people will own up to any of that, but claim it is something that they cannot quite describe. Where they attempt to justify their points of view about The Sussexes but particularly Meghan, it is down to behaviours, which they believe cause stress to the Monarch.
I would respectfully state that the potential for criminal activity being found is more than cause for concern than the colour of anyone’s skin and their supposed non criminal behaviour or attitude causing the downfall of any Monarchy.
Of the two examples above, I know where i think the issue will be when the Monarchy comes to an end, no matter how many years it takes. It will be self inflicted by one of those options above. It will not be behaviour of anyone outside of The Firm, as those behaving that way, are a symptom not a cause.
