    Default God Save The Queen..!?

    Wednesday, May 16, 2012

    I am getting all excited about celebrating the fact that we are ruled by an inbred Germanic hereditary ruling elite. It’s the Queen’s diamond jubilee!

    How will you celebrate?


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=wNBKdwo6p_A

    PS - What I never could and never will understand is how 'some' of our UK members still defend some of these Parasities...

    Must be the same 'Low Class' type British Snob tourists I witnessed treating the Hotel waiting staff & management with contempt whilst I was travelling around India..! It was like they thought they for some reason were better than them, either that or they thought the English still occupied the Country and they were nothing but slaves..!

    Meanwhile back at home their Country is being raped & pillaged to the point of no return by the very people they still bow too...

    Doesn't really make any sense does it...?

    Must be a British thing..?

    Anyways 'TallyHo'...

    What I also find very odd is how the remaining royalty have managed to stay on their thrones, so to speak, for so long, generation after generation. If you look back in history, it was quite an undertaking for a king or queen to hold onto his/her crown, and head, never mind passing it on to his or her children!

    I know we're not best buddies, Jack, but as a Brit I'm compelled to comment. I agree with you. I've seen the sort of British people abroad you described, and that sort of behaviour disgusts me. It's also so ironic and senseless. We're not all like that at all. Take the young man in the clip for example. I'm guessing there are probably 'types' of Australian you wouldn't necessarily want to be associated with. Some ignorant Brits do have the ridiculous idea that they're somehow entitled to behave in a superior way when in someone else's country, but not all. I don't think you'd ever catch Bill Ryan doing that for example. There are lots of things I love about Britain, and about being British - but none of them have anything to do with elitism, snobbishness or royal families. Diamond jubilee? Couldn't care less.

    My little boy is doing something at school, they have been asked to wear red, white and blue. I have bought him a waistcoat with union jacks on it and bow tie with union jacks on and he will wear a white shirt with it and a pair of blue smart trousers and some smart shoes.
    My older girl who is at school will probably do something there but she is not fussed about it and my baby girl doesn't know who the Queen is lol.
    My other little boy will not be back from his holiday until the end of the day, so it will be a bit late by then. He is visiting Sandringham house though so maybe he will see the Queen whilst he is there lol (probably not).

    I think for most it's and excuse for a party lol Yummy cakes and wobbly jelly with ice cream and lush cucumber sandwiches

    Forgive him, he only sees a small part of the picture. At least he knows the enemy of freedom, even though he still carries their symbols of control system within his rant. Someone by now has probably told him the feudal symbols he's missed, what the flag represents, and that patriotism is a worthless concept used to control the masses in false wars. Oh yup and the faux pas about the magna carta... it does bugger all to help the people, it merely gives the barons more control over the feudal system.

    In your 'PS' you state: "Must be the same 'Low Class' type British Snob tourists"... Referring to them as "low class" is itself, snobbery. The rest of the 'PS' seems like an anti-British 'tar with the same brush' routine. I'm sure you didn't mean it to come across in such a fashion.

    " God save the Queen shes no humanbeing " !!!!!

    Celebrating the Queens 1977 silver jubilee.....




    "God Save the Queen" is a song by the English punk rock band Sex Pistols. It was released as the band's second single and was featured on their only album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols. The song was released during Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee in 1977. The record's lyrics, as well as the cover, were controversial at the time, and both the BBC and the Independent Broadcasting Authority refused to play the song.

    The song reached number one on the NME charts in the United Kingdom, but only made it to #2 on the official UK Singles Chart as used by the BBC. This led to accusations by some that the charts had been "fixed" to prevent the song from reaching number one.[1] In March 2001, the BBC wrote that the single "reached number one in the UK in 1977 despite being banned by the BBC".[2]

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Things never seem to change, when this came out the Royalty were seen by most working
    class Brits as irrelevent...( which they still are !!)....

    The Establishment under Thatcher switched into gear and has codemned another generation
    to bend the knee.....What a load of " Rollicks " !!

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Indian Class system is just as bad as the British, American, Saudi & many others .........

    Hi,

    If there is one trigger that can set me off this is it.

    You will find there is support for Lizzie & Co wherever its shadow has touched.
    Australia, New Zealand, Canada & especially the USA to name the big ones go all giddy over this alleged royal family. A huge chunk of memorabilia will be promoted & found outside of Briton & so will the Royalist / Unionist snobbery.

    This is where the confusion & ignorance sets in.
    The snobbery which you refer too is a Unionist trait & not a trait of the Britons. The Unionist establishment has hijacked the British label from the Britons aka Cymry (aka welsh) who are the Indigenous peoples. Totally different people, one has an ancient history, culture, language etc while the other is a modern one which is forced onto the world with an iron fist.

    As a Cymro (Welshman). I bow down to no false Monarchy or to its bloodstained butches apron aka The Union Flag.
    How any truth seeker could fly such a rag is beyond words.

    There is a huge republican following in Briton that does not get a mention by the msm & they always make alternative venues on certain dates

    The queens diamond jubilee is also during the Venus transit window. No accident there. It's also a partial lunar eclipse. They need us to celebrate to harness more of that energy.

    G'Day Borden,

    My rant was mainly to open discussion on the topic of Royalty/Elite and their Parasitical ways...

    I witnessed what I witnessed and was only telling the 'Truth', another thing I witnessed was in my own backyard after one of the Australian vs England Ashes Test matches where the 'Balmy Army' were singing this tune to their Australian hosts...

    Quote "Get ya Sh#t Stars off Our Flag - OOAh OOAh"..!
    I took offence to that only because I never wanted the Union Jack on our Southern Cross Flag in the 1st place..!

    I personally would like to see the Union Jack replaced with the Aboriginal Flag

    This is what I reckon our Australian Flag should look like...

    I detest the Monarchy and want Australia to sever all Germanic Monarchial ties with the British...

    To this day we still pay taxes to the Lizards...

    Must be a Convict thing...

    Quote I'm guessing there are probably 'types' of Australian you wouldn't necessarily want to be associated with
    You guessed right...

    I know all Country's have their individual 'Class Structures' and Australia is no different...

    Rgs,

    You will find this is mainly the doing of the MSM, moreso in America (Who obviously never cared for the Monarchy) for obvious reasons that date right back to the days leading up to 1776...

    I have never been a monarchist, (I was born in Wales like Bryn), and I voted for a republic when given the chance, but- I do not find that the idea of electing a Head of State directly has much merit either! The present carry-on in the US , for eg. does not impress from the outside looking in. There are other ways to choose the person that would avoid political strife and I think that if they could be explored more closely. Seeing the mess that a minority government has imposed on Australian politics I feel it is important to have a system that the people can be happy with.

    At least the Windsors are fairly neutral nowadays and hardly ever bother us. They are also cheaper than having to provide for a Head of State for ourselves. The GG is very much more affordable than a potentate would be, and we are stuck with what we have until we get our act together!

    Actually the Jubilee is VERY low key here in Australia. Maybe some official stuff is planned but I have not heard of it and so far NO HOLIDAY!! Schools are not celebrating and so far no celebrations planned.

    Surely any money it cost to have a fully-fledged head of state that was wholly Australian would be made up for by no longer having to fund a governor general?

    I agree with you though, I don't think it really matters what the form of government is as long as the government serves the people with true allegience and scrupulous honesty. The trouble we have isn't whether they're elected or not (because de facto power isn't really in their hands anyway) but how they behave, and our elected officials seem to be chomping at the bit to outdo each other in terms of petty and vile behaviour.

    The GG is actually quite cheap compared to the absent Queen, who costs us very little (unless she visits, and even then a lot of the cost is borne by the Brits). The GG is on a salary, admittedly a high one, and has one large house provided. It gets a bit hazy because the states have governors too, but I suspect they'd be rebadged and stay with a republic!

    We all know that our present GG provides her own clothes, hairdressing and so on from an allowance that they all traditionally get. As she is an extremely elegant woman some were wondering where she got the money from! That was when we heard about the allowance.

    In answer to the title of this thread, "God save the Queen!?" - WHY would anyone want to? What's she done that so great for the people of England? She even has a solid gold toilet seat for her royal a**! No monarch is better than anyone else.... We all have blue blood. We're all sovereign in our own right....

    Part of awakening England would be to get them to realize that they don't need to keep the monarchy around. Talk about useless eaters.....The money could be better spent on many other things....
    Now if we could get rid of OUR useless eater in the White House, who supposedly is related to the Queen, we'd do better, too....

    The queen has not a single drop of English blood in fact. She is half Scottish, her mother is a Bose Lyon the family that Leo Zagami stems from. On her father's side is German. She is more like the Queen of Germany and Scotland.

    hehe

    You Brits eat weird food. WTF is wobbly jelly? What has the queen done to you all???!!! You folks make pudding out of blood and eat things with grotesque names like treacle which puts an American in mind of sewage plants, and weird things oozing from dark castle walls.

    All cultural differences aside (Yes yes we in the US drink beer that is the equivalent of frosty cold watered down rabbit piss)

    The union jack is strangely popular over here, especially in the south being as the Confederate flag is derived from it. So much for being the ' the rogue nation'.

    After World Wars One and Two most of the monarchies around the world collapsed. Me thinks those wars really had nothing to do much with the Kaiser, and Germany and the horrid things they'd do if they had world dominion, but more to do with infighting among the ptb's monarchies. The rest of the nations participated while under the pretense these wars were meant for something else. They are after all , all related or were before they fell from their thrones or two consecutive wars shifted them from there.

    And how does Monaco which is like the size of a third world Caribbean nation remain a wealthy miniature super power?

    Why don't about three super power nations gain together and invade the Vatican? Who'd stop them?

    England more than likely does own the world and it didn't lose so much its Empire, the fact it owns everything just became hidden from the public eye.

    Because I'm near the border of Canada I often receive loose coin currency as change, and it still has the Regents face on some of the coins. The newly minted ones even. Why is that exactly if Canada is supposed to no longer supposed to be influenced by British Rule.

    Admittedly the Royal Family has always fascinated me. Not out of fuzzy wuzzy sense of royal fascination but for the reasons brought up here. Why are they still here? I admit that I am utterly fascinated by the concept of an t in the public eye family that is not only so grossly out of touch with reality but flaunts that state as some sort of virute....but no one ever mentions it. A royal white elephant perched in the living room of society.

    They are in fact THE Germans they claimed to have hated. This whole thing has been a cluster **** of ptb families squabbling and its still going on as exhibited by the fall of Greece from the Eurozone if one is familiar how patriarchy and politics involve Greece's past (Prince Philip used to be the Prince of Greece) and how this whole Euro business was not economically motivated but politically motivated. Did the fall of Greece actually begin or continue with the marriage of Prince Philip to Betty?

    But I do have something that bothers me. The Queen is truly an out of touch entity, really who can be the wealthiest woman in the world and watch her subjects suffer the way she does. I am very well aware of the austerity of England over the last hundred years (not just recently) or so as my family is from Wales, in part, and so you just know these things from first hand accounts. The Queen Mum under that sweet old charming gramma facade was deeply out of touch with reality if one looks past that facade of concern and her 'commoner's' touch. We are going to feed off the whole world and the whole world will admire and be fascinated by us as well! While everyone was eating spam during WW2 the royals obviously did not indulge in rationing, how could you when you own many weatlhy farming estates? Yet they claimed they did. When it was obvious they didn't.


    BUT.....I never did get the sense from either George VI (ERs father) or his Father George V that there unconcerned. They just do not seem to have the same energy so leads me to wonder who or what family is wearing the pants on the throne of Great Britian. (And what the hell is it? Great Britian or England? Is there two separate nations in one country?) I might be wrong and that is probably a bit before all of our time, George VI died about 15 years before I ever came along so perhaps there is not way to really know. I really never go the sense from him that he was entrenched isn this ego reptilian energy. Also he died young, ...(get him out of the way?)

    What do you think, I mean living there and all and having the sort of alternative information available to us know. My own distorted perception or perhaps a result in coming from different branches of monarch families?

    I still find the public attitudes about the British and the Monarchs. My father told me that a man was supposed to remove his hat if the King was making a speech on the radio and could be ticketed for not removing the hat. Or that they didn't want the Queen's wedding televised in case men wearing hats in pubs happened to be watching the tv.

    As weird as wobbly jelly

    My little boy is doing something at school, they have been asked to wear red, white and blue. I have bought him a waistcoat with union jacks on it and bow tie with union jacks on and he will wear a white shirt with it and a pair of blue smart trousers and some smart shoes.
    My older girl who is at school will probably do something there but she is not fussed about it and my baby girl doesn't know who the Queen is lol.
    My other little boy will not be back from his holiday until the end of the day, so it will be a bit late by then. He is visiting Sandringham house though so maybe he will see the Queen whilst he is there lol (probably not).

    I think for most it's and excuse for a party lol Yummy cakes and wobbly jelly with ice cream and lush cucumber sandwiches

    The Koh-i-noor diamond (100+carats) was taken (one could say stolen) by the Queen of England (Victoria) from the Jaganatha Temple in Orissa.
    It is now placed in the British crown jewels. In the front of the coronation crown.

    That is no ordinary hat!
