Nice quote around the 1:23:10 mark. Some good points on The Royal Institute for International Affairs, constitutional powers and the like.
I have reservations though, when someone mentions Oliver North as having even the possibility of respect, because North is a lying piece of fascist shit
(Watch this clip at the 6:00 minute mark to see North lying.)
Chip Tatum, a pilot who not only worked for U.S. intelligence in Vietnam (Air America) but also flew drugs disguised as medical supplies during the Iran-Contra era, exposes North's lie:
The video below was brought to my attention and shows the "insider" stance of Dr. John Coleman only goes so far, and as Turner says numerous times when Coleman makes a statement with no factual backing, "Prove it!"
And, as far as the truth about the monarchy, here is an enlightening quote fom HG Wells' When the Sleeper Wakes (1899) which is a work of fiction but which rings true to me:
"'Your Victorian kingdom...was like that-kingship with its heart eaten out.' The landowners-the barons and gentry-began ages ago with King John; there were lapses, but they beheaded King Charles, and ended practically with King George, a mere husk of a king...the real power in the hands of their parliament. But the Parliament-the organ of the land-holding tenant-ruling gentry-did not keep its power long. The change had already come in the nineteenth century. The franchises had been broadened until it incuded masses of ignorant men, "urban myriads" who went in their featureless thousands to vote together. And the natural consequence of a swarming constituency is the rule of the party organization."
