1
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Who's dying today. It's the Queen. It's the Queen. Well, correction,

2
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: she's not dying, she's she's dead, that lady dead. Yeah,

3
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: very sad, obviously, very sad. Grieving podcast today, brought to

4
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: you by It could happen here. It's all of us.

5
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 1: It's it's me, it's Get, it's Chris, it's Robert, and

6
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: it's the ghost of the Queen. We're talking about the Queen.

7
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: She's dead. What's up with that? Yeah, she's real dead. Um,

8
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: I haven't seen. You know. What I haven't seen that

9
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: I'm disappointed of is a new version of the Monty

10
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: Python Dead Parrot sketch involving her corpse and it's and

11
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: it's fancy casket. Um, but that's still time, still time

12
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: we can change that. Now. My question is, James, is

13
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: that legal in the UK? Now? Absolutely not No, you

14
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: will get so arrested, not even arrested. This is the

15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: first part people have just like I don't understand what

16
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 1: the fund is wrong with people, but they have become

17
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: volunteer cops to like defend a guy who's been credibly

18
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: accused of pedophilia. And I am disappointed in us. Do

19
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: not be policing your fellow people for exercising some of

20
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: the very few rights at the conservative well because everybody

21
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: has taken away from them. Actually, but yeah, you've only

22
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: let yourself down. I'm disappointed. Yeah, they they they really

23
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: really hating anyone who is not thrilled about the monarchy.

24
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: The arresting people of having not my king signs. I

25
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: see that Jetwood is taking it to the fascist state,

26
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: which is great to see. But we're gonna be talking

27
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: about the queen or former former queen. Um, I do

28
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: want to do want a note that you know, the

29
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: day the Queen died, a big wave of condolences came in,

30
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: including from Domino's Pizza UK, which which if you understand,

31
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: the Queen had a very deep relationship with Dominoes. So

32
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: this this does mean a lot. Um they were they were,

33
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: they were lovers. Among those who posted their condolences was

34
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: Hamilton's West End. The the Britain r MT, which is

35
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: like the British Railway unions, stopped their strike, which I

36
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: think is the most pissed at coward thing I've ever seen.

37
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: The union do. British Cycling suggested that people not go

38
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: out for a bike ride during the time at the

39
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: Queen's are you fucking serious? My god, they're literally she

40
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: was six deal with including food. I think the funniest

41
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: one was labs Rob posted, everyone is deeply saddened by

42
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: the passing of her badesty in the Queen and we

43
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: offer our sincere condolences to the royal family. We joined

44
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: together with the people of the United Kingdom and all

45
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: around the world and mourning her loss, which they then

46
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: which they then deleted an hour later. If there's one

47
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: thing that Mrs Rob is about, it's about people all

48
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: over the world mourning the loss of monarchy. It's the

49
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: main thing about it. So yeah, most of on Twitter

50
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: was definitely it was definitely split between these companies posting

51
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: how they're so sad that also a lot of people, uh,

52
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: pretty pretty thrilled that the Queen died, because it's kind

53
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: of funny because we were all shocked by the ninety

54
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: five year old woman who died. She was so young.

55
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: It's amazing she was. She was at an age that

56
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: if you reversed her age and told me she had died,

57
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: I still wouldn't have been surprised. Like she was at

58
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: an age where like even if you flip the numbers.

59
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: She's still old. Yeah, it's great to see the Telegraph

60
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: today running a headline five mile q too few and

61
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 1: it's the second coffin. We'll see horrible stories of suffering.

62
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: This is a country where she said, will not be

63
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: able to heat their homes this winter. It's a country

64
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: good an explosion in food, insecurity, and this is what

65
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: we're doing. It's like like the British like, okay, so

66
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: the Crown did not call directly for a blood sacrifice.

67
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: The British people are just bound and determined to have

68
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: people die like that. They're lay They're like they're lining

69
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: up in the streets to sacrifice themselves for the dead.

70
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: I mean, magical things don't do us all that way.

71
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: There's some people sharing up with not my King signs

72
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: and getting assaulted by mobs. And for most people, like

73
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: regular as people. Yeah, yeah, most people are not that concerned.

74
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: Most people are not like it's just like the Turfs

75
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: in Britain. There are like a small minority of people

76
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: who do nothing but tweet right for the Guardian, who

77
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: misrepresent the opinion to most British people who are not

78
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: that concerned. But like a lot of these British people

79
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: do show up in person and like shut down, like yes,

80
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: it's certainly, it's not It is not the case that

81
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: like there isn't widespread support for this kind of ship.

82
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: It's just that it's it's not uniform. That's people who

83
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: do speak The people who do speak up also tend

84
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: to get arrested, which because it's just like it's it's

85
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: sort of amazing. It's like, okay, Britain got industrial capitalism

86
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: before like any other country on Earth, right, the bourgeoisie

87
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: has one job. One job there. One job is to

88
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: destroy feudalism. And they couldn't even the British couldn't do it.

89
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: They had they had the largest head start of any

90
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: country on Earth, and they couldn't do it. It's incredible,

91
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: it's miraculous. They were co opted into these few elites

92
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: through things that the Great Reform Acts, which which use

93
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: property as a proxy for land or capitalist ap proxy

94
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: for land, and it's worked remarkably well. And now we

95
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: just do false consciousness ship like this, like how good

96
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: is your false consciousness game? When people who can't heat

97
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: their homes are sleeping on the street to say goodbye

98
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: to presumably a billionaire who have a cat about them? Yeah,

99
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, who absolutely, who was not equipped emotionally

100
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: to have ever cared about them, Who's soul would never

101
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: have allowed her to care about them? Yeah, I mean,

102
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: let's let's like, you know, as as lots of people

103
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: were romanticizing the monarchy and the Queen and doing their

104
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: like performative mornings, obviously there was a wave of other

105
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: people being like, hey, you know, the royal family is

106
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: kind of kind of sucked up. You know, they've stolen

107
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: billions of dollars and jewels from countries like India and

108
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: across the South Africa. Um, they're continuing to benefit from

109
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: Britain's history of colonialism. The earlier earlier this year, during

110
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: the during the during the Queen's jubilee celebration, an old

111
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: Kenyan revolutionary fighter used the used the the occasion to

112
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: call for an explanation from the Queen for why she

113
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: hasn't been compensated after being tortured with axes by British troops.

114
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: People should look at the way Britain treated the Mau Mau.

115
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna have stuff on this. I have stuff on

116
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: this later for this episode. Actually we're gonna be talking

117
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: about that. Seventeen estimate found that the royal family is

118
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: estimated to be worth eight eight billion dollars um. Yeah,

119
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: and a lot of that's obviously not in straight up cash,

120
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: which is one of the ways like people are talking about, Oh,

121
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: Charles inherited half a billion, No, Charles billions of dollars.

122
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: Like they own a lot of land. Yes, they owned

123
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: a huge amount of land. Um. Charles has his own

124
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: real estate empire that he like created while he was

125
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: waiting for his mom to fucking croak um. And they

126
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: also have like a fortune and really actually uncountable, like

127
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: you have to think about their wealth like the Vatican,

128
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: Like there's no actual way, Like it's functionally limitless money

129
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: because so much of what they own is like priceless antiquities,

130
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: many of which were stolen from other people. Yeah, any

131
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: time to put angible number, and they're sort of their

132
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: value And that's sort of what if you want to

133
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: go to celebrity status, Yes, what is that fucking diamond

134
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: in the goddamn crown worth? Right? Like there's no real

135
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: way to appraise that. Yeah. Well, and and I want

136
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: to point this out, like if they tried to sell

137
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: the diamond almost certainly. What would happen is like the

138
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: British people would give her three billion dollars and they

139
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: give her the diamond back they funded, Yeah, they'd stopped

140
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: doing the subsidies for heating that they've just started doing,

141
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: and buy the diamond back. Here, let's talk about that.

142
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: Let's le let's talk about the heating thing briefly, because

143
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: I think uh. An anchor on BBC was discussing how

144
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: news of the Queen's passing basically interrupted all other news

145
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,599
Speaker 1: in the UK, UM including statements being given on the

146
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: price increase in energy bills and the rising cost of living,

147
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: by stating that that those topics, that the topics of

148
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: cost of living and the rising energy bills was quote insignificant.

149
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: Now due to the gravity of this situation, we can

150
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: we can insert this clip here. I have I have

151
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: it saved for Daniel because it's just it's wild. Doctors

152
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: in Scotland were concerned about the Queen's health coming um

153
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: as liszt Trust was making a rather important statement concerning

154
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: um the future of energy bills UM that of course insignificant.

155
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: Now given the gravity of the situation we seem to

156
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: be experiencing with her. Just an old lady died. She

157
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: was not a very nice old lady. I've known old

158
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: ladies who were nice that died and I was sad.

159
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: I've known old ladies who are night and not nice

160
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: that died, and I didn't really care in any case,

161
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: Like it's it's not it's not a big deal because

162
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: old people like, that's what human beings do when they

163
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: reach ninety six, is they die a lot of the time.

164
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: And it's it's okay, Like it's okay. Queen would see

165
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: that of everything about her, it's fine. Queen Elizabeth was

166
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: the longest reigning monarch in the history of Britain. Yeah,

167
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: probably close to the longest. And like maybe Ramsey is

168
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: the fucking second is up there, like years, you don't

169
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: run into a lot of competition in terms of links.

170
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: Seventy years thrown at nineteen fifty two. Yeah, And it's

171
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: worth a lot of old ladies are going to die

172
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: in Britain this winter because of the okay, And it's

173
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: also worth knowing that the Queen tried to use a

174
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: bunch of state poverty money that was emerged for schools,

175
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: hospitals and low income families to pay bucking camp houses

176
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: heating bill. Oh wow, uh yeah, that's that's wild. That's great. Well,

177
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: you wouldn't want an old woman like that to be

178
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: out of out in the rain. Because I believe the

179
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: Crown is States, and I'll have to check this real quickly.

180
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: I believe the Crown of States did evict people during

181
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen pandemic, talking of old folks being kicked

182
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: out into the rain and for for around two weeks

183
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: after the Queen's death, basically all of Britain kind of

184
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: grinds to a halt um. It's which which would honestly,

185
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: one of the base parts about this is that this

186
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: does potentially cost the UK economy billions of dollars because

187
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: they just shut down for two weeks um. So this

188
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: is like the equivalent of the boat getting stuck in

189
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: the canal. Y. I do want to I do want

190
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: to make a quick note for everybody. The longest reigning

191
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: verifiable monarch, according to this Wikipedia page that I just skimmed,

192
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: is so Boosa, the second of Swaziland, which was a

193
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: British protectorate until nineteen sixty eight. He reigned from eighteen

194
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: ninety nine to August of nineteen eighty two, two years.

195
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: So you know what, Elizabeth, not that impressive. I am

196
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: a sabooza. The second stand now absolute chat ship. The

197
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: fact that he just snuffed it before he got to

198
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: see a pot tight end very yeah, that is yeah, wow, yeah,

199
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: it's just yeah, it's looking at some of the evictions

200
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: of krown of states done over the years, you can

201
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: learn it's pretty heartbreaking ship. Well, luckily the Queen actually

202
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: did not die in Buckingham Palace. She died in a

203
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: castle in Scotland. That's great because Buckingham Palace is a

204
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: hideous monument of trash. Like the castle she died, it

205
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: looks pretty cool that a lot of the Yeah, one

206
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: thing you're supposed to get with a monarchy is like

207
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: really rad looking castles. It is like neat the castles

208
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: are cool, except for Buckingham Palace, which looks like fucking tenements.

209
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: Yeah so, but Buckingham Palace is a building that dares

210
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: you to go steal back all of the wealth if

211
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: they stole from you to build it. So the plan

212
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: for if the Queen died in this Scottish castle was

213
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: called Operation Unicorn, which is wild. What is the Unicorn?

214
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: A ninety six year old woman dying is not a

215
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: unicorn situation, operations squirrel or something more. How is the

216
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: giving a couple of their third I don't get it,

217
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: I I know. Um. So the plan for this type

218
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: of thing is, so the queen died on last Thursday afternoon.

219
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: It was announced the Friday following Friday morning. After the

220
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: queen dies, Uh, they call Operation Unicorn. They then call

221
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: they send like my emergency alerts to all the British leaders. Um. No,

222
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: the new Prime Minister who is incredibly funny um, and

223
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: you know, all of all these people are notified and

224
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: then press press gets notified that next morning as as

225
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: as they did. So staff members in the castles and

226
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: palaces all got sent home. Um. All parliamentary business gets postponed. Uh,

227
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: every everything, everything shuts down, which means all of the

228
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: stuff they were working on on energy bills gets shut down,

229
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: like they were working on trying to figure out what

230
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: the funk they're gonna do for this percent cost increase.

231
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: All that gets shut down until late September. Um. So

232
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: that's that's cool. Um. But no, this is actually kind

233
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: of a unique thing because because of how long Elizabeth

234
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: rained the last death of a monarch was in the fifties,

235
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: so it's it's been a while since this has happened,

236
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: so everyone's kind of rusty. Like no, like if we

237
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: aren't as prepared for this. If if it's okay, My

238
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: my hope is that we get a couple of we

239
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: get people get a lot of experience with dead British

240
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: monarchs in the next decond. King Charles the Third, I

241
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: don't think we'll be around for too long. Yeah, I've

242
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: seen that man's hands and it's maybe. Here's the thing.

243
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: Every every time a monarch dies, it's kind of it's

244
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: like a top down, rolling general strike. So if we

245
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: get enough of them in a row, we can start

246
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: doing serious damage capital. By the way, quick quick note

247
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: about the Chad Sabooza, the second of Swazi Land died,

248
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: died with a thousand grandchildren. Oh my god, Jesus, wow,

249
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: man and always pictured shirtless. Elizabeth cannot compete. No, I'm

250
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: fine without not being the case. Actually, I don't want

251
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: to see any contetion. Yeah, and he probably wasn't racist

252
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: to any of their partners, which actually can say about

253
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: the real families. Here's a neat thing he and he

254
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: took all control of all non or of all Swazi

255
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: land and mineral rights from non Swazi interests that had

256
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: gained control during colonialism and indigenized all of that, which

257
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: is dope. So there you go, So boost of the

258
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: motherfucking second. Yeah called a god king. I have to

259
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: go and get injected with a small dose of a disease. Well,

260
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: let everything but injected in that. Chris, Hey, Daniel's back,

261
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: So let's take an ad break, um, and we'll be

262
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: back to learn more about the queen. You know what

263
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: else will give you a small dose to a disease?

264
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right, Yes, these products and services, Yeah,

265
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: I'll just say the Queen of England. But yeah, and

266
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: we're back. So yeah, it's been a while since since

267
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: the monarch died. Last time this happened in the fifties,

268
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: mourners wore black arm bands to show respect for King George.

269
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: That's the one who was like a big fan of Nazis, right,

270
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: But I don't I don't think we're gonna see so

271
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: I don't think that tradition is going to continue. I

272
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: doubt we're gonna see a wave of black arm bands.

273
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: If anyone was gonna do it. It would probably be

274
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: the Anglos. Yeah, I I suppose so, yeah, it's uh

275
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: oh yeah it was Edward Edward the eight who abdicated

276
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: um and and then was replaced by the guy who

277
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: you were talking about. Okay, that's the guy like nazis

278
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: Edward the Eighth. So I'll all all all the UK

279
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: flags are gonna be flown at at half masted until

280
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: the day of the funeral, and then the day of

281
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: the funeral is going to be a bank holiday as well.

282
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: So that's pretty exciting. That's great. I hope that the

283
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: poor get to eat sweetmeats or something. No, no, no, again,

284
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: they're just they're just closing down almost all almost all businesses,

285
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: almost all businesses in the okay will close. The stock

286
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: Exchange is going to close um like on on. Following

287
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: present Princess Diana's death in the late nineties, uh, Britain,

288
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: business owners in Britain quote felt that they were quote

289
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: forced to close their shops or canceled sporting sporting events

290
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: the day of the funeral lest they feel the rage

291
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: of the tear stained hordes outside unquote. Yeah, that's an

292
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: incredible that is an incredibly funny way to talk about

293
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: monarchist though, like thank you, thank you, thank you the

294
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: Guardian for that amazing quote. It's unbelievable, I mean, and

295
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: at least with Diana, it was actually sad, like she

296
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 1: was a nice person who was badly treated in her

297
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: life by the royal family and died tragically and young,

298
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 1: as opposed to somebody who got everything they want from

299
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: the day they were born and died at ninety. So

300
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: then currently they are assembling the quote Ascension Council to

301
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: formally declare Prince Charles the King, which he's he's already

302
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: known as King Charles, but you know there's the whole

303
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: separate formal process because he could pick another name. Still

304
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: he says he's not. He says he's oh, he's he's confirmed.

305
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 1: That good because kings, Kings Charles have a good history

306
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: in the UK. They don't often get executed. So the

307
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: Council will make the proclamation of ascension to be to

308
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: be read on Proclamation day will be will be soon

309
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: after the death um and that'll be somewhere somewhere in

310
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: a London. How do they still have all the ship

311
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: like there's so many weird ruals that they still do

312
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 1: of both houses of Parliament are suspended are suspended until

313
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: after the official state funeral um, and both and and

314
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: all politicians have to wear new allegiance to the to

315
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: the newly ascended monarch. This is really like genuinely the

316
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: world's most pathetic ruling class. Like, oh my god, Jesus Christ,

317
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: it's pretty funny. You have one job. Well, but also

318
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: like back in the day before we had monarchs and capitalism,

319
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: whenever you know, you had a new coronation, whenever there

320
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: was something big that happened with the monarchy, the thing

321
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: they would do is make sure everybody had a shipload

322
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: of food and nice stuff. The king would give it away.

323
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: It's all over the world. Cultures would do this, even

324
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: you do. Yeah, it's what you do when you come

325
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: to power, because they were at least that scared of

326
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: the people where it's like, all right, I gotta like

327
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: do something to ring in this rain good so they

328
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: don't start to wonder, why do we have a king now?

329
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give him a bunch of fucking food

330
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: And then they'll be like, oh, the king, he's the

331
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: guy who gives us food every now and then. That's dope.

332
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,959
Speaker 1: It's amazing now that in the UK it's just like,

333
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: all right, we've got a new monarch and the old

334
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: one died, so you guys, a lot of you don't

335
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: get to eat for a while. So King Charlie seventy

336
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: three is the oldest person in British history to become king,

337
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: which is I think a great side very unsabosi a

338
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: second of him. And then we're also getting a new

339
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: queen technically, uh, the Camella, the Duchess of Cornwall, which

340
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: again all this sounds made up um is now is

341
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: now the queen consort um. So that's exciting, that's thrilling.

342
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm I'm thrilled for Queen Camilla. It is the Duchess

343
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: of Cornwall or so and Queen Elizbeth, Queen Elizabeth's coffin

344
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: is is being prepared to lie in state, meaning it

345
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 1: will be presented for the public to view so they

346
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: can cry on the coffin, which is pretty cool, or

347
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: crying near the coffin. They don't want the poorest to

348
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 1: get too close. Meanwhile, so Booza the second turned Swazi

349
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: Land into a major asbestos ex border, which Queen Elizabeth

350
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: also never did. So wait, so when when when when

351
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: the queen dies, do they like from like? Do they

352
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: like preserve her from Aldehide or whatever? They've got some

353
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: fancy they have some fancy ass ship because they were

354
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: probably embalming er while she was alive, just as her

355
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: limbs stopped working, squirting some in. The Queen's body will

356
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: lie in state until the day of the funeral, shall

357
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: then become a public holiday. There's at least a ten

358
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: day morning period starting the day after her death, um,

359
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: and then should be transported to win Westminster Abbey by

360
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: gun carriage for the state funeral, and then after the

361
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: funeral she'll be she'll be buried in the King George

362
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: the Sixth Memorial Chapel. I believe her the body of

363
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: her late husband, Prince Philip, who died last year, will

364
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: be moved from the vault that he's currently at to

365
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: beneath the chapel to join here. That's pretty funny. Yeah, um,

366
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: I don't have nothing to say about that other than

367
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: it's funny that they've just got that dude in a

368
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: fucking freezer. It's really funny. The new coordination will cost

369
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: billions of pounds. Oh good. That's a good because England's

370
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: like doing great right now, They've got plenty of money

371
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: for all the necessities. You know, everything's been well great,

372
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: cost of livings really down, So it's it's a good

373
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: idea to spend billions of dollars making a little death

374
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: cult about this elderly woman. That's just like the last

375
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: like big royal wedding costs between one point two billion

376
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: and six billion pounds, which is quite quite the quite

377
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: the spectrum there one two to six billion. That's like, huh,

378
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: I feel at that point all money's fake. Like the

379
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: cost of the coronation is expected to be similar, if

380
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: not a little bit higher. Right, Yeah, you gotta you

381
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 1: gotta spend a lot of money on a coronation for

382
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: fucking Charles. Uh, So that you can, because that's what

383
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: real countries do. In two, that's very real country ship.

384
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 1: Speaking of money, new currency is already being printed and

385
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: in fact that that'll be cheap though, and in fact

386
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: portraits of Charles have already been made on currency. There's

387
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: like a reserve of money depicting the next king, just

388
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: like it's being stored to like moving in from from

389
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: when the queen died. It's like lots of this money saved.

390
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: Just like how funny it would have been if, like

391
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: six months before this happened, his seventy two year old

392
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: ass had a heart attack. Have to like burn all

393
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: that money, They got to burn all the Charles Bucks.

394
00:23:54,560 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be around long. Rice that Britain longer

395
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: has the world's reserve currency, can you imagine? No, we

396
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: we took on on this network, on our various shows.

397
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: We we spent a lot of time digging into ugly

398
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: aspects of American history and American culture. But let's all

399
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: celebrate one thing that I'm legitimately proud of, which is

400
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: that a long time ago people who were like that

401
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 1: seems stupid to let those that family run everything. Why

402
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: are we? Why are we doing that? Let's get those

403
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: fuckers out of here. Um, at least we did that,

404
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: although now a bunch of Americans are being fucking boot

405
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: liquors too, and in Oregon and a bunch of other

406
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: states we're putting in the flags at half staff, which, like,

407
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: you don't not know why this country exists? This is

408
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: the one based thing we did. Yeah, Like, like even

409
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: the US, which I probably has the most murderous boorgeoisie

410
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: in human history. At least we did our Burge revolution. Damnit.

411
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: Like at least we destroyed feudalism. So now we're gonna

412
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: move on to the next segment of the show, entitled

413
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: An Incomplete List of the politicians, warmongers, generals and otherwise

414
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: bastards who queenlis the second bestowed awards. So I have

415
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: I have quite the collection of people here. Um, let's

416
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: let's start with Palestine. So Shimon Perez served as Prime

417
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: Minister of of of Israel. He got a Nobel Peace

418
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: Prize in like the nineties for intern key steal that

419
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,719
Speaker 1: like failed in the long run to turn into a

420
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: um assassinated. No, I don't think. I don't think I

421
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: was the one who you could argue might have deserved

422
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: an award. So he's he. But Perez is kind of

423
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: known as more of like a peaceable leader. He's like

424
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: compared to some of his like colleagues. UM. You know,

425
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: it's specifically with like the various ethnic cleansings that they

426
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: do in Palestine. Perez is kind of seen as like

427
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: the the good guy. Um. And then in the mid

428
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: nineties he was facing a major right wing backlash um

429
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: in his home over over the peace deal with the

430
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: Palestinians UM and in the middle of an election campaign

431
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: which he was kind of losing, so during this time

432
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: he unleashed Operation Grapes of Wrath, which caused four hundred

433
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: thousand Lebanese to flee their homes, with almost eight hundred

434
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: of them fleeing into a United Nations base in uh Kawana.

435
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: I believe it's called UH in South and South Lebanon,

436
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: and he didn't really stop there UH in order to

437
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: kind of appease the right and Aldrezier calls it UH.

438
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: In an attempt to shore up his military credentials before

439
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: a general election, which he then lost to Benjamin net

440
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: not Yahoo, he ordered the army to strike this U

441
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: n A shelter, killing a hundred and two civilians, mostly

442
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: women and children. UH. At the time of the attack,

443
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: Perez said that in my opinion, everything was done according

444
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: to clear logic and in a responsible way. I am

445
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: at peace UM. Perez that the compound had been hit

446
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 1: due to an incorrect targeting based on erroneous data, but

447
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: the United Nations investigations found it unlikely that the shelling

448
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: was unintentional because they were severing the area heavily beforehand.

449
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: So he did, he did, He did this massacre, killed

450
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: like a hundred a hundred people to boost his polls

451
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 1: for the right wingers in this election. UM November two,

452
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: as an eight, Queen Elizabeth awarded him with an honorary knighthood.

453
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: He was knighted in the Grand Cross of the Order

454
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: of St. Michael and St. George. And during his knighthood

455
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: like that that day, Perez spoke to the Queen about

456
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 1: the escalating Israeli Palestine conflict, saying that quote, the British

457
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: learned from the Bible, and we learned from the British democracy.

458
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: Earlier that year, I d F launched Operation hot Winter,

459
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: a military campaign targeting the Gaza Strip in response to

460
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: a series of Homoss rockets that killed one forty seven

461
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: year old Israeli student um which that attack was in

462
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: response to the IDs killing eight Home mass members earlier

463
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: that month. But during during the ID s Operation Hot Winter,

464
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten Palestinians were killed, fifty four of

465
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: them were children. Uh. And then a month, just one

466
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: month after Perez was knighted, the two Assanate Gazo War

467
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: broke out, also known as the Gaza massacre and that

468
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: was started by the IDF, who called it Operation cast

469
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: lead a three week large scale military campaign in the

470
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: Gaza Strip. The massacre resulted in uh in like one

471
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: thousand and four hundred Palestinian deaths and thirteen Israeli deaths,

472
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: four from friendly fire. Um, so it's just a massacre. Yeah.

473
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: So that that that was like a few weeks after

474
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: after Queen Elizabeth knighted unighted the then president of of

475
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: of of of Israel who previously served as the prim Sister,

476
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: which is more of like a real rule. Um. Anyway,

477
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: moving on to more fun people. Nine eighty nine, Queen

478
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: Elizabeth awarded Ronald Reagan with an honorary knighthood. Um. That's

479
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:16,239
Speaker 1: good now, thankfully. The way honorary knight Knighthood's work is

480
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: you don't become a sir because sir is a title

481
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: reserved for people from Britain. I'm not mistaken. You can't

482
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: hold office in the United States if you are a knight.

483
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: Oh I wouldn't. I think it's an old rule we have. Yeah,

484
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: I read something about that. Yeah, yeah, no, I think

485
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: isn't it No, it's not on the constitution, but there's

486
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: something about yeah, but it's a it's a even though

487
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: you know you can't become a sir because you're not

488
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: from Britain. Um you Okay, here we go. No title

489
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: of nobility. This is Article one, Section nine, closet of

490
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: the Constitution. Constitution. Yeah, no title of nobility shall be

491
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: granted by the United States, and no person holding any

492
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: office of profit or trust under them shall without the

493
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: consent of the Congress, except of any President, volume in office,

494
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: or title of any kind whatsoever, from any king, prince,

495
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: or foreign state. Fascinating. Yeah. So, like again, the people

496
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: who made this country, for all of their flaws, looked

497
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: at the British monarchy and we're like, that's fucking nuts. Well,

498
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: because because because Reagan was was night was received on

499
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: airy knighthood. The one benefit he does get is that

500
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: at dinner parties, Reagan was able to sit closer to

501
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: the queen than the unknighted former presidents. That's good. I'm

502
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: glad that we have to like, honestly, look again, I

503
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: hate like like America flex shit, but I feel like

504
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: any president of the US should be able to pull

505
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: up Ryker style, flip a chair around, sit down next

506
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: to you, and say, look, we've been pulling your ass

507
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: out of the fire for the last century. Like, you

508
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: don't get to fucking make me sit somewhere. I'm the

509
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: president of the United States and you're a doddering old

510
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: queen of a fucking third rate power. Um, I hate that.

511
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: I just went like, full fucking whatever they're But honestly,

512
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: that's fucking ridiculous. It's like like maybe maybe maybe the

513
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: only country ever that the U s getst moral superiority.

514
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: It's like, is the British Empire? Like, don't you don't

515
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: like what? Seriously, lady unbelievable. One other president who was

516
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: knighted was George H. W. Bush, who was knighted into

517
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: the Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath. Well,

518
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: he did look like he could use one a lot

519
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: of the time, where a rarely awarded top order of knighthoods.

520
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: That's good. I'm glad he got that. Uh. British officials

521
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: said that the knighthood marked the close relationship between the

522
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: Republican president and Britain's conservative government, particularly during the Gulf War. Um. Yeah,

523
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: that was a real moment of of of iolan tragedy

524
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: for the British royal family. They had they had to

525
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: sit there and watch they were burned, conscripts alive, and

526
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: they were really at risk. There. I'm gonna quote from

527
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: the book Royal Babylon by English poet and activist Heathcote Williams. Quote.

528
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: The fact that each US president's record, without exception, would

529
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: earn them seats on the dock at Nuremberg or at

530
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: the International Criminal Court on genocide charges doesn't deter the

531
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: royal family from honoring them. For by an ironic twist,

532
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: each US president morphs into George the Third, against whom

533
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: their forebearers fought. Which is a nice and nice a

534
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: nice little quote by by this this this English this

535
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: English writer and the pretty good book Royal Babylon if

536
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: you want to if you want to learn about how

537
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: fucked up the monarchy is, Uh, this is a pretty

538
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: a pretty fun book. Um, let's see who else who

539
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: else should be? Uh? Who else should we? Let's let's

540
00:32:55,600 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: talk about Norman Schwartz and Covs schwartzkof. Norman schwartzkof. He

541
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,959
Speaker 1: was the head of the He was the guy who

542
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: actually like ran the Desert Storm campaign. Yes, he said

543
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: that the dead iraqis quote warn't worth counting and among

544
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: like casualties of war and that quote I want every

545
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: Iraqi soldier bleeding from every orifice. Yeah, it's uh. I mean,

546
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, Schwartzkov was a guy who fought in Vietnam

547
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: and took the loss hard, and I think he a

548
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: big part of why, A big part of what was

549
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: going on with Desert Storm was a desire to quote

550
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: unquote reclaim like our military pride by beating the ship

551
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: out of a smaller country. Um. Which is not to

552
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: say that like I don't believe there was Like Iraq

553
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: had invaded a neighbor and occupied it. That's bad, something

554
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: should have been done. But the whole, the whole like masturbatory.

555
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: I want all of their fucking conscript soldiers, these like

556
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: teenage kids to die. Is is like sick lunacy, as

557
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: was the masturbation over the anywhere whatever. We don't need

558
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: to talk about the Gulf War here. He was anyway,

559
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: he was. He also received knighthood after all of that stuff,

560
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: which is fun. Also, Elizabeth gave a knighthood to Colin

561
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: Powell Um who facilitated, covered up, and justified many US

562
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: war crimes in Vietnam. Hey, Hey, Garrison facilitated cover ups. Yes, yeah,

563
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: most famously my Lie. Yes, the my Lie massacre is

564
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that he was that he was involved in.

565
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: There were others. He also like that guy. I think

566
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 1: he's like like the thing. I think it important. He

567
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: is probably the one person on earth in the Bush

568
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: administration who could have stopped the Iraq war if he

569
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: wanted to. And he didn't. Like he he he knew

570
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: that it was all bullshit, and he was like, nah,

571
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: fuck it, let's do the gonna lie to the u

572
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: N Quoting Powell, we burned down the thatched huts, starting

573
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: the blaze with ronson and zippo. Latter's why were we

574
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 1: torching house and destroying crops? Ho Chi Ming said that

575
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: his people were like the sea in which guerrillas swarm.

576
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: We tried to solve the problem by making the whole

577
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: sea uninhabitable. In the hard logic of war, what difference

578
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 1: does it make if you shot your enemy or starved

579
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: him to death? So anyway, night night night, Colin Powell.

580
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: So true, So true, Buddy Um probably the least problematic

581
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: person among this list. In the Queen approved on an

582
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: honorary knighthood to a former U s Secretary of State.

583
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: Uh what Henry kiss kiss Anger kissing kissing gerl. Yeah,

584
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: he was. He was just kind of a functionary, very

585
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: not not a big deal. We should probably, I think,

586
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: I think that's how it's pronounced. He was. He was

587
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: appointed an honor u night Commander in the Most Distinguished

588
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: Order of St. Michael and St. George. Christ's so funny.

589
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: We must applaud the British for for for for honoring

590
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: the most popular American in China. It's a very progressive

591
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: decision for her. Yes, Kissinger. Uh. I think a few

592
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: of Kissinger's assistants also got uknighted. Uh, Brent scroll Croft

593
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: scout Croft scout Croft, Um, he got he got knighted. Uh.

594
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: I think people from the Iron contra drugs uh and

595
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,720
Speaker 1: arms affair stuff got knighted. Uh. There was a lot

596
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: of like war criminal dudes got knighted in this in

597
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: this like late nineties period. I wonder what was going

598
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: on there. Also, Uh, j Edgar Hoover was was was

599
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: knighted of h which is pretty funny. And then uh,

600
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: the the economic uh financier who endorsed uh really bad

601
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: derivatives to make the housing bubble kind of blow up

602
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: a green Span another American. He also green Span like

603
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: he's a horrible person. That that man, that man has

604
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: killed more people than most generals. Like he has. Oh boy,

605
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: yeah he is. He is pretty bad. Um. I think

606
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: I think we can do an ad break and then

607
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: James is going to join us again. Uh to finish

608
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: up by talking about Ireland and Kenya. Um, because there's

609
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff in Ireland and Kenya. So anyway,

610
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: do you know who won't receive a knighthood by Queen Elizabeth?

611
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: That's these products and services, because it's going to say

612
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth because she's too dead to dead. That's a joke.

613
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: She can't give them a nighthead because she's dead. Here's

614
00:37:48,040 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: the ads, very funny. Ah, we're back, and you know

615

Speaker 1: we can make about that as as a network, and

621
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 1: I'm not going to make them, but I'm gonna urge

622

626
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: of me. That's anyway. Uh So we're not gonna talk

627
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: about mainly mainly two places where British colonialism and imperialism

628
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: had devastating effects under Queen Elizabeth and a few a few,

629
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 1: uh pretty pretty evil people that that Elizabeth then also

630
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: knighted of who we're doing, who were like directly doing

631
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: this British colonialism. Uh, let's talk about kenyell a little bit.

632
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: So during the nineteen fifties, British tried to get control

633
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 1: of lands in Kenya that they that they had violently.

634
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: They were trying to trying to keep control of land

635
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: that they had previously stolen. Um. Native Kenyans fought back

636
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: in the Mau Mau Uprising. Now has we've historians Historians

637
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: have documented widespread torture by British forces, including crushing of

638
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: testicles with pliers um and the internment of up to

639
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: three d and twenty thousand people in concentration camps where

640
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: they then endured a slavery starvation murder and rape, rape

641
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: with blunt objects. Um. Meanwhile, one point five million Kenyans

642
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: were confined to a network of detention camps and heavily

643
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: patrolled villages, as documented by a historian Caroline Elkins in

644
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: her Pulitzer wise winning Britain's Gulag. So this, this, this

645
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 1: was all overseen by the queen as the head of state.

646
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 1: And by the way, she was thirty one at this point.

647
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: You don't you don't get to say, well, she just

648
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: come and you know, I was just listening to her advisors.

649
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: At thirty one years old. You are young, but you

650
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: are old enough to not be complicit in a genocide. Yeah,

651
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: especially when you're the head of state. Like, come on,

652
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: as the Queen of England, she had some leverage. She

653
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: is not like, oh, you came at you worked, you

654
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: were a tax collector in fucking South fucking Shire, England,

655
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: and you happened to be in doing that job when

656
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: the Mau mau. We're being suppressed. No, no, no, she was.

657
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: She she she knew about stuff, what's going on. Was

658
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: heavily involved because she was giving out like she was

659
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: working with people who were doing pretty like agregious things. Um.

660
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: According to Kenya's biggest newspaper, the Daily Nation. A British

661
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: policeman named Ian Henderson was known in Kenya as the

662
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: Torturer in Chief and was the kind of the the

663
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: guy behind preparing a whole bunch of bogus evidence in

664
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: the nineteen fifty three trial where say leading Mao Mao

665
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: uprising figures were convicted, um, including the future first President

666
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: of Independent Kenya now Queenlis. But the second honored Ian

667
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 1: Henderson again the Torturer in Chief, with the George Medal,

668
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: Britain's highest civilian award, in September of nineteen fifty four

669
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: for his work in Kenya. So this is important. Like

670
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: he wasn't military, he was just a policeman, which is

671
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: why he gets a civilian award. Um. But like she

672
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,760
Speaker 1: knew what was going on was giving out individual police

673
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: officers awards for their rules in crushing the crushing these

674
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: uh independent uprisings. You know who never would have done

675
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: that is supposed the second absolute clown. I I I

676
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: do not know enough of the second. I don't know

677
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: how he acquired one thousand grandchildren. I'm not gonna to

678
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: be fair, there's probably some shady ship and Sabooza the

679
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: Seconds Rain, but the main thing he was known for

680
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: was taking back control of Swazi lens and ginous industries,

681
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: being a good neighbor to the other African countries once

682
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: they gained their independence, and of course exporting a shipload

683
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: of asbestos. So and any any other notes on on Kenya. Yeah,

684
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: so just before I do want to like just briefly

685
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: raised their like elkins Um that it was that was

686
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: a very unconventional and very good book for for young

687
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: academic and she deserved that the credit for writing it.

688
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: In the process of writing that book and then trying

689
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: to write her second book, obviously she dealt with a

690
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 1: lot of backlash from rank her first book, she uncovered

691
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: that Britain had hidden, classified, destroyed and refused to disclose

692
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: a mountain of records about its colonial crimes in Kenya.

693
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: And this is like an ongoing issue that goes on

694
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: into the twenty teams that there were public records court

695
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: cases about this, and it's so like we we can

696
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: see this like it's wrong to say that this is

697
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: like a just a relic of another era, right, Britain

698
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: is has continued into this era, like the ideology of

699
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: the government from then to now is actually distinguishable, right,

700
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: it's it's near liberal conservatives. They have continued to hide

701
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: rather than face justice for these crimes, right, rather than

702
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,720
Speaker 1: say sorry, rather than say what we did was wrong,

703
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: they've tried to cover up this ship and like we

704
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: we need to remember that when we talk about like

705
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: this is not a crime of the past, he's an

706
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: ongoing acts of genocide, of genocide denial that we keep doing. Yeah,

707
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: I should mention. So I think we're talking on operations

708
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: legacy as there are a bunch of different instances of

709
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: the British government like destroying other records. One of the

710
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: other fun things they were covered they've seen to have

711
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 1: been covering up and we don't we don't know exactly

712
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: what was in those records because again they were just

713
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: like they were destroyed. Um. But one of the other

714
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,280
Speaker 1: things that was in this record is about a second

715
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: time that that the UK put a bunch of people

716
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: in concentration camps while Queen Elizabeth was president, which was

717
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: they did this. They also did this in Malaysia, they

718
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: put a million president. They did this. They did in

719
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: the film was Sorry She was while she was clown President,

720
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: which is to say, just to say, Queen, we're gonna

721
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: actually be talking about Malaysia in justice sec that yeah

722
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 1: so so uh. Ian Henderson, the torture in chief who

723
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: received this award obviously had to leave Kenya shortly after

724
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 1: the fifties because things happened um and then he he

725
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: got he got moved to Bahrain um and during a

726
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: wave of pro independence revolts in Bahrain in nineteen eight,

727
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: Henderson was appointed the head of the Secret Police and

728
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: served as so until nine um and over the course

729
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: of his tenure he became known as the Butcher of Bahrain,

730
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: quoting the Guardian quote. During his time, his men allegedly

731
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: detained and tortured thousands of anti government activists. Their activities

732
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: are said to have include did the ransacking of villages,

733
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: sadistic sexual abuse, and using power drills to name prisoners.

734
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: On many accuations, there have said to detain children without

735
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: informing their parents, only to return them months later in

736
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: body bags unquote. Yeah, and and the Barraine stuff. It's

737
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: also worth mentioning like that never stopped Like no, I

738
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: mean it stopped being him in charge, but like like

739
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: it only stopped him being in charge. Yeah, yeah, And

740
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: and like in two thousand eleven, there's another revolution against

741
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: like the Bahraini Baroni like monarchy, and I mean it

742
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 1: ended essentially with the Saudia's role tanks across the border.

743
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: But one of the things that happened was that the

744
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: British helped like the Bariny government like hunt down dissidence.

745
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: I just busted out my lecture on this hand slot

746
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: park stuff. If we want to talk more about there

747
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: were fifteen miles of files that they found hidden. I

748
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: mean that that was that was also the case in Ireland,

749
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: which was later the Odd File. I lose emails all

750
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: the time, that's similar to fifteen miles of paperwork. So

751
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 1: in nineteen four Ian Henderson was awarded by Queen Elizabeth

752
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: with a CBE for services to British interests in Bahrain

753
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,240
Speaker 1: and UH. He also received a knighthood in the Most

754
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: Excellent Order of the British Empire. So this this was

755
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 1: after he was already known as the Butcher of Bahrain.

756
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: This this is this, he's well into his tenure. He

757
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 1: is torturing children, killing them, kidnapping them, maiming people, and

758
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 1: that's when he gets knighthooded UH for his services to

759
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: the British interests in Bahrain. Um. So, yeah, that's that's

760
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: Ian Henderson. Um. Now. During Henderson's time in Kenya uh,

761
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: he was just a part of the small team that

762
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: was developing a new form of counterinsurgency pseudo gangster tactics uh,

763
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: kind of weaponizing like gang gang warfare for British interests. Uh.

764
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: The other person who was of running this operation was

765
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: an Englishman named Frank Kinson. Um so he in uh

766
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: he he was also serving in Kenya UM and then

767
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: on New Year's in nineteen fifty five, Kinson was awarded

768
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 1: the British Military Cross in recognition of galleant and distinguished

769
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 1: services in Kenya UM and three years later he gained

770
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: a bar to that battle for his work in the

771
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: UH Malaysian emergency quote unquote. So during Britain's brutal rule

772
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 1: brutal war in Malaysia, um he he he played. He

773
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: played a part in the concentration camps which Chris mentioned.

774
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:46,240
Speaker 1: The process was known as vigilization as they forced people

775
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: into these concentration camps all over the course of a famine,

776
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: and they were invading Malaysia to fund Britain's kind of

777
00:47:53,560 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: post war reconstruction uh. So he he was in Kenya, Malaysia. UH.

778
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: He also went to Bahrain, just like Henderson did. He

779
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 1: went to Yemen, Aiden and Cyprus, all places where the

780
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: British state is uh known for doing the widespread use

781
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 1: of torture. Um. And then he went to north He

782
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: went to Northern Ireland uh in not shocking turn of events. UM.

783
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: He then was the professional head of the British Army

784
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,399
Speaker 1: during the Iraq War. Described Kitson as quote the son

785
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: around which the planets revolved, saying that quote he very

786
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:37,399
Speaker 1: much set the tone for the operational style in Belfast. UM.

787
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: The the notorious Military Reaction Force the m r F,

788
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: which was accused of being behind a string of illegal

789
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 1: shootings of Catholic teenagers in the early seventies, was based

790
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 1: at Kitson's headquarters outside Belfast, and one of the units

791
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: under his command was nicknamed Wittson's Private Army uh. Its

792
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 1: official name was one Pea. And these were the people

793
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: that did bloody Sunday um. So in nineteen seventy two

794
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:14,760
Speaker 1: in Dairy, fifteen thousand people gathered outside to protest against

795
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:20,919
Speaker 1: detention without trial. At ten past four, British paratroopers opened fire,

796
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 1: twenty eight people were shot, some in the back as

797
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 1: they fled. Fourteen people were killed, seven of whom were teenagers,

798
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: and it was Kitson's private army who fired all one

799
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 1: hundred and eight shots in Dairy during winter of nineteen

800
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: seventy two. Uh. One of the victims are the first

801
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: teenager named Kevin, seventeen years old. He was shot from

802
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 1: behind while trying to crawl to safety. Um. Yeah, anyway,

803
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 1: Murphy massacre was at the same time as well. Like

804
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: it's worth, people like these are very well documented things

805
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: and people that people can read about that we don't

806
00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: need to describe in detail. But so nice England England

807
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 1: Bad Elizabeth Queen. In nineteen seventy two, frank Kinson was

808
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 1: knighted again same same year as the massacre, was knighted

809
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 1: by the Queen for galleyant and distinguished service in Northern

810
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: Ireland and was promoted to Commander of the Order of

811
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: the British Empire UM. A few years later he became

812
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: a major general and the quote night Commander of the

813
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:27,799
Speaker 1: Order of the Bath Again. What is it that he

814
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,760
Speaker 1: and former head of the CIA, George H. W. Bush

815
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,879
Speaker 1: got to hang out in their fancy club, though these

816
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: people are so fucked up. So later later, Kitson served

817
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: as Commander in Chief for the UK Land Forces from

818
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty two to nineteen eighty five and was the

819
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 1: aide Delak was the Aide de camp general to Queen

820
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: Elizabeth direct directly to Queen Elizabeth from nineteen eighty three

821
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: to nineteen eighty five. So yeah, that's uh, that's fun.

822
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: It's worth noting that the Order of the Bath is

823
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:05,320
Speaker 1: like a I believe that some of those other honors,

824
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,839
Speaker 1: that Queen's honors that you've talked about, like selected by

825
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 1: committee your prospect government. I'm not quite sure. The Order

826
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 1: of the Bath is supposed to be like the personal

827
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: the Queen's like specific selection. Yeah yeah, and the Sovereign

828
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: is head of the Order of the Bath like it's

829
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: like yours. It's the big it's the big diamond shape. Man,

830
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: you're tortured so dreadfully. Well. I'd love to give you

831
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: this fancy award for jamming screwdrivers into children, turning the board.

832
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 1: Who do you do? Go off to go breathe another Corgi.

833
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 1: That's the ghost of the Queen you have promised at

834
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 1: the start of the episode. So Robert's basement. Throughout the

835
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: two thousand's, Kinson remained a key advisor on US military

836
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: strategy during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. There is

837
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: much that the US has done which is also war

838
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 1: crimes and torture in those wars, and which all we mentioned. Okay,

839
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 1: there's there's a thing you'll get from insurgency nerds who

840
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 1: were talking about the Mala like emergency quote unquote is

841
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 1: like the one successful kind of insurgency, and that's just

842
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 1: not true. Like they started again after they stopped in seconds.

843
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 1: You can tell how well this went by the fact

844
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: that that guy also was helping the US do a

845
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: rock in Afghanistan, and the only thing he's ever managed

846
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: to accomplish is killing an enormous number of people. He doesn't,

847
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: it was just that he had dubs there. Yeah, he

848
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: was in all those countries. He was heavily involved in

849
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 1: Aiden and Yemen, which led to two thousand deaths between

850
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty two and nineteen seventy UM and and today

851
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 1: British armies still continue the same the same process of

852
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: of overseeing the bombing of Yemen. UM. So this isn't

853
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 1: mean there's definitely no one the US is innocent of

854
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: just oh no, we're the ones arming h we need

855
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 1: to Saudi Coalition, whatever you want to call it. That's

856
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 1: murdering people in Yemen. But I think the Britain doesn't

857
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 1: have the capacity to to make as many bombs as

858
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: the US is standing to Yem and I would doubt.

859
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: But all of these processes and all of these people

860
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 1: are still continuing the same colonialism and the same yes,

861
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:13,799
Speaker 1: all of the same oppression. Like this isn't like, this

862
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:17,319
Speaker 1: isn't like the past. It's it's an ongoing thing that

863
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 1: the monarchy awards and perpetuates. They've had to downsize it

864
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: a little bit because you know, it just doesn't work

865
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: as well as it used to. And so the thing

866
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,040
Speaker 1: they decided to do to downsize it was stopped paying

867
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 1: off the populace um and just start policing them harder.

868
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:37,720
Speaker 1: And but but the money has kept flowing to the Royals. Yes, yeah, anyway,

869
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: in the Malay emergency, that Britain did pioneer the use

870
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: of Asian orange. So that's another gift that we've given

871
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:46,360
Speaker 1: to the people of the United States. Ah well, thank

872
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: you James for that. Yeah, welcome anytime. It's that it's

873
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: t cozy's with the Queen on it's stuff coolgies, you know.

874
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: I want to suggest if you are looking for a

875
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: way to properly mourn Queen Elizabeth Um, maybe check out

876
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:04,720
Speaker 1: the film Churchill The Hollywood Years. A truly exceptional movie.

Speaker 1: If you just type it into Google and look around

878
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 1: on YouTube, you can find a full copy of it. Um.

Speaker 1: It features Christian Slater as Winston Churchill and Nev Campbell

880
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: as the recently deceased Queen UM. And I don't know

881
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 1: who it is that they got to play her father,

882
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: the former king, but he's he's basically a portrayed as

883
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,799
Speaker 1: like a drunk and also like every time there's a

884
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 1: big fancy party, he's just constantly staring at everyone's drinks

885
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: because he's angry that they're drinking is champagne because he's

886
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:34,879
Speaker 1: a big fucking uh spinthrift Um. Very funny, very good

887
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,760
Speaker 1: send up of the royal family. Um. Also, Heinrich Himler

888
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 1: conducts a Satanic wedding and by replacing a crucifix with

889
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: a chicken. It's It's a good movie watch life just

890
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 1: like in real life. I'll also recommend you check out

891
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 1: the book Royal Babylon. I was able to get it

892
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: a free copy online through great methods. Um So anyway,

893
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 1: yeah that if you want a nice like poetic history

894
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: of how the queen is sucked up and the monarchy sucks,

895
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 1: Royal Babylon is a nice easy read. Did you get

896
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: into the balls Lion Sisters as well? Did you do that? Now,

897
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: these two people who were disabled, they are the Queen's cousins.

898
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 1: They the royal family basically announced they were dead, but

899
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: they weren't dead, and they lived in an institutional home

900
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: for I think it was it was called the Royal

901
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: Earth Word Institution for Mental Defectives and great. They lived

902
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,360
Speaker 1: there more or less anonymously, completely discerned by the family

903
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 1: on a very small stipend until they died. And that

904
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 1: is not a nice way to treat your cousins. Well, yeah,

905
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: this only spends in my opinion that, yeah, some monarchy

906
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 1: is bad bad. Something about FUCO and boomerangs and colonialism

907
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 1: abolished the monarchy. It's always okay to celebrate the death

908
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: of a king or queen, Um, doesn't matter who they are,

909
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 1: doesn't matter how it happens. Um, it's bad for the

910
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 1: concept of monarchy is the only thing more toxic than

911
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 1: the concept of inherited wealth. Um, and both are deeply

912
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 1: tied to each other. Uh, fuck the Queen and fuck

913
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 1: all of her relatives except for the ones who give

914
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:20,280
