Words From Across the Pond

The following reached me via e-mail from George Rolph, a celebrated MRA in the Sceptered Isle of Albion, a.k.a. England. George also CC'd this to a passel of British reporters, news agencies, parliamentary critters, and so on. It is so good, how can I possibly not share it? I think it has something for everybody in this globe-spanning movement of ours; aren't we all struggling with incorrigibly evil, arrogant people who wish only to sweep us out of the way like dirt? Yes, I think we can all relate to this. And I've got to say one thing: George certainly hasn't lost his touch! ;)

Medieval Life
Feudalism
The Feudal System was introduced to England following the invasion and conquest of the country by William I (The Conqueror). The system had been used in France by the Normans from the time they first settled there in about 900AD. It was a simple, but effective system, where all land was owned by the King. One quarter was kept by the King as his personal property, some was given to the church and the rest was leased out under strict controls.

The King
The King was in complete control under the Feudal System. He owned all the land in the country and decided who he would lease land to. He therefore only allowed those men he could trust to lease land from him. However, before they were given any land they had to swear an oath to remain faithful to the King at all times. The men who leased land from the King were known as Barons, they were wealthy, powerful and had complete control of the land they leased from the King.

Barons
Barons leased land from the King which was known as a manor. They were known as the Lord of the Manor and were in complete control of this land. They established their own system of justice, minted their own money and set their own taxes. In return for the land they had been given by the King, the Barons had to serve on the royal council, pay rent and provide the King with Knights for military service when he demanded it. They also had to provide lodging and food for the King and his court when they travelled around the country. The Barons kept as much of their land as they wished for their own use, then divided the rest among their Knights. Barons were very rich.

Knights
Knights were given land by a Baron in return for military service when demanded by the King. They also had to protect the Baron and his family, as well as the Manor, from attack. The Knights kept as much of the land as they wished for their own personal use and distributed the rest to villeins (serfs). Although not as rich as the Barons, Knights were quite wealthy.

Villeins
Villeins, sometimes known as serfs, were given land by Knights. They had to provide the Knight with free labour, food and service whenever it was demanded. Villeins had no rights. They were not allowed to leave the Manor and had to ask their Lord's permission before they could marry. Villeins were poor.

[George Rolph's commentary follows:]

"It will be noted from the brief breakdown of the feudal system above that feudalism and modern society in Britain have great similarities to each other and that we have not come very far since 900AD. In fact, it could be argued that the feudal system is alive and well in this land and many others today but has been renamed democracy. There are minor differences in structure and practice from the old feudal system, but not much. The rulership of the king has been replaced by parliament but that is just a power shift. We still have robber barons in the form of powerful businessmen and they control vast amounts of our daily lives while they invent new ways to steal the low wages they pay to us, from us. Politicians bow down to them and the whole political system and legal system is geared to their needs. The population always come second to the interests of business and as such, the population are paid lip service too in election manifestos. What business wants, business gets. When business decided they wanted a common market in Europe we, the people, were taken into the Common Market without our consent. The politicians then decided they wanted to build a political empire in Europe to regulate and control the markets thus created and we got the E.U. In the E.U. there is a statutory body of unelected officials who hold great power over the lives of ordinary people that those people have no control over at all and which is riddled with corruption. They have a legal system that is imposed without the consent of the people and which, little by little, is robbing the people of the member countries of their freedom to self determination as a sovereign nation and of their cultural difference. This, of course, is treason; but as the serfs (you and I) have so little power -- apart from the illusory power of general elections -- the legal niceties can be ignored and coercion (otherwise known as persuasion) can be employed to make us all conform. The illusion of referendum has been used to give the E.U. a cloak of respectability but when a nation votes no to closer integration, the E.U. simply waits a while; adds some pressure and then tries again. What politicians want, politicians get.

"What politicians and business both want is your land, your money and your compliance. So the new barons are businessmen and the new knights are politicians. The new villeins (serfs) are the rest of us.

"I made reference to the illusory power of elections. Let me explain what I mean by that. In Britain today there are three parties that hold all of the power of the state in their hands. The smallest and therefore least powerful of these, are the Liberal Democrats. The Lib Dems, as they are known, came from within the established power system and so did not have to work their way to the top as other parties would have too. They are an offshoot from the two main parties. The two big hitters are the Conservatives and the Labour Party. No other party is allowed to get anywhere near the reins of state and mechanisms are in place to see that no smaller parties can ever raise the funds needed to take on the big boys. If another party tries and looks like it might be successful in gaining a modicum of power, the political spin machine swings into action and, with the help of a compliant press, ridicules and dismisses everything the smaller party says. The Lib Dems managed to break into the system and remain there because they are willing to play the game and keep the system just as it is. Thus the status quo is maintained and the corrupt system remains secure. Behind the walls of their barricades against real democracy, the ruling elite lead glittering lives and can make vast fortunes for themselves by job swapping, stealing public money (That's your money) and the use of the honours system. When election time comes the people are given a false choice. "You can vote for any of the three parties but if you vote for anyone else you are wasting your time because we will not let them into power." is the message given. Thus, the election is never fair and democratic at all. If it were, any party would have a chance to govern the country.

"Why is this system the way that it is?

"At the top there are the glitterati. That is, big business interests, judges, barristers, senior political figures, senior policemen, ex military figures, the old aristocracy (what is left of it) and the new aristocracy now in the House of Lords, the press barons, certain celebrities and the bankers. These few live very nicely thank you on the backs of the working people (the modern villeins). Almost every single one of these tiers is soaked in corruption because, behind the wall they have built around themselves, they are free to do whatever they like and what they like to do most is protect the walls and live expensive lives. This breeds in them an arrogant complacency and a feeling of immunity from censure by the majority of the people. Laws that apply to you and I, for example, are routinely ignored by this elite and if they do fall foul of them and cannot wriggle out of it because of the public gaze, their friends ensure that the punishment is kept as light as possible. In this way, fraudsters in the city that steal millions from the tax payers get a slap on the wrist, but four or five working class lads (modern serfs) that rob a train of six million get thirty year sentences, for example. So we see that we have a two tier legal system. A two tier justice system. A two tier lifestyle system and a two tier economic system and this is all wrapped up inside a single tier political power system which is itself maintained by what is known as, cross party consensus. That is, the modern "barons" and the modern "knights" conspire to keep things just as they are. The motivations for this, are ultimately of course, power and greed driven, Pavlov dog style, by massive egos.

"Those running this system are nothing if not cunning. They know that they cannot keep a system based on massive greed, and egos running unless they can persuade the people to let them. They are acutely aware of just how outnumbered they are behind their walls. After all, they are a relatively small group of people. So, in order to keep their edifice going they have become incredibly skillful at manipulation and lying to the common men and women. To do this they needed to create outlets to enable them to be able to speak to as many people as possible. They also had to be certain that the people running these outlets were all on their side. Some judicious and careful public and private appointments would have to be made. The careful placing of "yes men" in positions of public influence, such as, within media outlets and local councils, police stations, schools and so on and the creation of a huge amount of quangos (Quango=Quasi Autonomous Nongovernmental Organisation that is supposed to be independent of government but which actually does what it is told because it is run by yes-men and yes-women) ensures that everyone stays "on message" and does not give the game away. The rewards for playing along can be massive indeed and are often utterly corrupt. For example; the BBC plays along nicely, thank you. For this loyalty they are given huge amounts of tax payers money, ostensibly to make television and radio programs but also, to line their pockets with. This ensures that if they stumble across anything that the public will not like and the systems cronies are getting up too, they will sit on it, keep the people ignorant but still look professional and independent. Those within the BBC that preach the right messages get promoted and are paid very well. Up to six million pounds a year some of them! The rest get lower tiered jobs and constant bombardment with BBC loyalty propaganda to ensure they keep their mouths shut. As an added incentive, they get huge housing help, for example. All paid for by the countries villeins and that by compulsion in the form of a 'telly tax'. The same things happen in slightly different ways in newspapers throughout the land.

"All of this has happened incredibly quickly. In the nineteen forties, if a politician wanted to speak to the people he had to call public meetings or stand on a soapbox in a public place because so few could afford radios and no one had TV's. His capacity to con the people was limited by the amount of people he could actually reach with his message. As a consequence, corruption was relatively rare on a domestic level and most of it happened in the form of overseas activity or sexual scandals at home. Now and again a corruption scandal broke, but relatively speaking, they were few and far between, At least, that is how history tells it. We must keep in mind however that just as gangsters in the States have held politicians, businessmen and policemen in their grubby hands for many years, so have newspaper magnates and businessmen here.

"The great lie, still told today, is that British politics is less corrupt than other countries. You have to have been born yesterday to believe that. In fact, because of the way the system works here in Britain, more of the corruption is just better hidden than in other countries with other systems. The advent of mass television ownership brought with it new challenges for the corrupt and they quickly saw that they needed to gain control over this new and growing medium or the game would be up. It was because of that need that the judicious appointments were made and the right people were placed in the right positions within the new media. Bingo! Instant control. When people got suspicious that this had been done and the wool had been pulled over their eyes, lots of speeches were made about our glorious "free" press and the independence of the BBC etc. This propaganda would be backed up quickly by the organisations themselves and so a stream of reassuring messages went out to the public from the ruling knights and barons that all was well and the people should slip quietly back to sleep.

"Now, ordinary British people are funny lot. They will put up with injustice, unfair and over the top taxes, blatant corruption and even downright disgusting legal corruption from the courts against them for years on end and simply moan about it all now and again. Slowly though, their anger is likely to grow. Their voices change from a low background murmur of discontent to a rising wail and then, finally, to a roar. Today, their voices are reaching up to the level of roar and the corrupt know it. They can hear it and they are getting nervous. So nervous in fact, that recently they have been asking British squaddies if they would be prepared to shoot their own people if ordered to do so. They are right to be nervous. They know better than anyone what the British are like once their anger levels rise high enough. The people of this "sceptered isle" can become very dangerous indeed and organise very quickly against those who are robbing them blind. History has demonstrated that again and again. The last corrupt fool who took the British people for granted on such a scale got his head cut off.

"Up until now, the electoral system has always worked to quell that anger. The problem facing the corrupt today is that people are starting to see though that bullshit too. They know their votes are useless because whichever party they vote for will just bring them more of the same. They also know the press have been lying through their teeth at them for years. The pennies have been dropping all over the place. They see the robber barons and knights destroying the peasants livelihoods; their financial security; spiritual base; stealing their hard worked for pensions; indoctrinating their children with ideological crap in the classrooms; stealing their national identity and pride; giving their country away to foreign interests; often leaving them homeless while those responsible for the decimation of their property values give themselves huge bonuses and are bailed out by the government giving them the tax payers cash! They see mental feminists attacking their family life; injustice for their abused sons; courts operating two kinds of justice: One for the rich and another for the poor and so on and they don't bloody like it. The elite few will use whatever force they can muster of course, to protect their corrupt little system but they are incredibly arrogant and stupid if they think that force alone will stop the British people from getting their hands around their nasty little throats. The people of these islands have proved again and again that they are tough, inventive, clever and they are not easily frightened when push comes to shove.

"None of this needs to happen of course. This fake democratic system could reform itself by opening up the voting system to allow more parties to have a greater say. They could reform the legal system by ridding us of corrupt judges and lawyers. They could make parliament truly representative again by quietly losing a few millionaires who are still trying to rob people through expenses and letting the ordinary people in. They could open up the Bills system to allow the people to make and present Bills to parliament for fair and robust debate. They could shut down the quangos, the fake charities and the local government organisations known to be on the take. They could democratise the press by putting it in the hands of the people and splitting up the huge and corrupt monopolies that now exist. They could start sacking the blood suckers in the civil service and in Parliament and in the legal halls and in the courts. They could outlaw political ideology from the classrooms and on and on. They will not of course. They did not get where they are today by being honest. So, this feudal system, disguised as democracy, will roll on until it becomes so rotten that the people can't stand the stench anymore and they rid our land of it. Unless, that is, the ruling scumbags can find a way of diverting us all again.

"Hmm!

"Another war perhaps? A nice big "terror" attack in central London or some other big city? A pandemic would come in handy right now. Huh?

"Ooops. Nearly got paranoid there.
