The Monarchy: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

James II. is in fact not a direct ancestor of the Royal family today. His line of the family tree died out in the early 1700s. His cousin is the mother of a later king George I., whose son George II. is both Queen Elizabeths and Prince Phillips Great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather. Their two sides of the family did not intermarry, which makes them some of the least-inbred royals europe saw in Centuries.

The fact that James II. is not a direct ancestor doesn't change anything about him being a brutal muderer, and he was exchanged for William of Oranje for a reason (although what came after them was not really much better), but i like my facts

Pays a hundred million and gets 2 billion back - 500 million in expenses thats 1.5 billion that goes back into the nation. Thank you knig charles

The Awful Truth About White Origins "Hair Siberia""
The awful truth about white origins is that they had no ancient kingdom during historical antiquity. They were essentially Barbarian tribes rejected by the Roman Empire. This means that white people are just unwanted Italians, probably discriminated against for light colored hair and set to roam and wander or ended up in eclectic Spanish Iberia (probably rejected from Egypt). Only after the Fall of Rome did they begin to settle in Europe after many years of squabbling and set up their kingdoms of Medieval Christendom. This is probably why Hitler made up a story about Atlantis as their origin. The actual truth about human diversity may be linked to bacterial meteorites' that slowly colonized Earth in bacterial competition. I believe they simply painted a Jesus with light hair to further entrap their cause. In a vast social hierarchy of rebirth, would an aristocracy be born with lighter colors overall? After two thousand years of bullying and warfare few would probably desire it. Equality is stagnation. It's not reality. This cannot be proven, of course, but this much power and resentment will burn a person's face off, literally. What this proposes is that, over rebirth, secrecy and adeptness at paperwork turns one into a sort of white horse, or an aristocracy over the Earth. Very controversial, yet it can explain some things to many people. In Medieval Times it appears humanity believed the truth was completed and they tried to usher in the "Kingdom Come" however, looking around it is still growing exponentially. The main misunderstanding is that one reaches a point and it becomes a vacation or like a Paradise of tenure. This is not true. The tenure and paradise are up to the individual to maintain or hold They even ushered in the fool, whereby the aristocracy has a place to dump their insults so they don't destroy somebodies life at random. Why are aristocracies born out of establishment or from various partners? There may be two reasons being that a person high enough may not have a family of contention to be born into, or that a person challenging their proof may come from an origin of distance. Male birth is usually about challenge and challenge generally means ones soul which exists in the social physics of the mind. This is not a stagnant system. It is a system of progress until the final Kingdom has been actually proved. I'm sorry but there are higher seats than government authority in a bigger overall picture over an expanse of time.
Note* The origin of Creation is really waves and frequencies. The "Most High" is a term stolen from Thoth whereby one parks their mind above another in Celestial knowledge.

That lady was hilarious, 43 countries have monarchies, the uk isn’t special

Are Goths Devil Worshippers? “Reincarnation Chess”
This is officially the last of the bloodline stew. Kings and Queens are an instinctual flaw in the human ignorance. They’re a natural inclination that most people can’t learn out of because they’re not clever enough for bibliographies. These unseen noble lines shall become impossible to reestablish. Humanity shall be a dragon without a head. Instead we will worship God or the Devil. That means the gods are the true puppet masters. The truth would crash your bloodlines, anyway. Onward, to philosopher kings! These aristocracies are just vessels for a later date. Try and break the spiritual telepathic influence. The kings and queens are just PR for their feeble minds to handle. We shall be run by information. The awful truth is that princes and kings are already run by information and always have been. Their determination are set and passed down through the ages but really culled from the vaster traditions. Boxers or briefs?

i knew things were bad but jesus christ

Laugh not needed

"You can't blame people for what their ancesters did." then spends 30 mins blaming the royal family for what their ancesters did.
"The Monarchy and Govenment are separate. " and then blames the Monarchy for what the government did."

As an American, I kinda like the royals(cause i don't have to pay for them) but he won the argument at mushy peas! I loved everything about visiting London-except mushy peas!!

Queens horse gets an OBE ? I caligula 🙂

@Dig that crazy rhythm@ is a quote from The Goons-Spike Milligan-Charles was a great fan!

being part of a family that goes back for a thousand years must be mysterious as fuck

As a Brit I am not really a Royal fan, but unfortunately the past was the past and can't be undone, but it is absolutely true that we can apologize and try to make good on the future.

One cannot solely blame John Oliver for spewing nonsense because his script is written by other people, but this level of ignorance could only come from the nauseating mindset of the typical liberal - poorly researched, dubiously sourced, and intentionally lacking nuance. I am lucky in having received an excellent education, but with the wealth of information out there, ignorance is a matter of choice for most these days. Wrapped in a cloak of righteousness forged by their lies, they are able to spout such drivel convincingly enough that people believe them. Behold, ladies and gentleman, the midwit John Oliver, bestowed enough charisma to pull off such a performance as this, but nowhere near enough wisdom to think critically about what they are actually saying, what they are really advocating for, and for whom they are truly working.

God save the Queen! Her fascist regime! :)

The video was pretty shit especially when John said that the number of income the Monarchy brings in is disputed but didn’t back that claim, pretty cowardly to be honest.

The British monarch also gives Royal Ascent., which is the final stage that a Parliamentary act goes through before it becomes law.

OMG, out of all these eps of this show I’ve been watching so far, this one’s been really informative.

WTF has this got to with America? The show is about issues in America, so how is the British Monarchy an Issue in America? You know outside the American (insert redkneck voice) we do need no kung sentiment. Are we really so arrogant we think British monarchy is something we control of as opposed to I duno, Britain!

Calling a monarchy a british thing a such a load of BS. The’re still load of kingdoms, and have always been.

When it came to king Charles becoming king is that it was out with the old in with the less old 😂

Why does life require a class system?
One cannot play at life unless they understand the rules of the game. Therefore, discovering the rules is the first priority. One thing is apparent. There is a certain order of darkness that covers certain rules in order to maintain the game’s integrity, especially concerning the class system and the afterlife. Here, one must conjecture that the social class system is correct in one’s birth, but also not as it appears. If the class system has no value then the game has no integrity and we are reduced to random variables. Even in genetic theories there would be an underlying system creating a class hierarchy unseen to the players of the game. Without a class system there is no game and without a game there is no reason to exist. One can plainly see why understanding the rules are of an utmost importance. We must assume the rules have been hidden to protect both the winners and also the losers.

New Zealand is missing from the map 😂

King Charles lack of empathy is appaling.

This is complete bs. BRITAIN SPENT 60% OF ITS NAVAL BUDGET ENFORCING ANTI SLAVERY ENFORCEMENT. PLANTATION SLAVERY WAS NOT UP TO THE BRITISH. THEY WERE NOT ABSOLUTE MONARCHS AT THE TIME. THEY NEEDED TO AVOID ANOTHER REVOLUTION LIKE IN THE US.

An excellent piece. Watching from Australia, where the redoubtable Senator Thorpe served some basic truths to KC3 yesterday, and causing much clutching of pearls.

Lidia Thorpe is an amazing woman and she deserves so much attention and support.

Whoever your business daddy is, I'll always watch and follow this show.

nice video
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

God I want an update on this video, a part 2, considering what Lydia Thorpe just did In Australia to the king was such a power move and deserves a video all its own.

Sky News Australia is Fox News’s inexcusable cousin.

Shows how long since John has been in a British Supermarket. Eggs aren't, and for as long as I can remember haven't, been in the refrigerated isle

I don't get it ? 67% of British want to support a family who are born into wealth and privilege, - WHO ARE BORN INTO WEALTH AND PRIVILEGE - and claim you as their lowly subjects willing to support them as cogs in the royal wheel?! I have visited Britain as a tourist several times and never has royalty been the reason. I think it to be the most ridiculous relic from the past that just scratching the surface like Oliver mentions you find disgusting behavior and atrocities that make it even more amazing that so many British think it is 'jolly well and good' to be associated.

Normal God, Normal Satan A Judgment of the Plain Faces
Humanity is known for supermen and supermen are not normal. Are God and Satan secretly ancient typical normalcy scoffed by ancient writers as their muses? In fact, any god appears more normal because maintaining a normal state is akin to being a superhuman. This is because of the subtle psychology of information whereby clarity is reserved for an elite. This is the tradition of plain faces on the thrones and in the aristocracy of Medieval and Renaissance periods. Plain faces are, thus, the true recognition of quality aristocracy and nobility. The judgment of the court is based on their faces. I suppose eventually society would return to courts of nobility and kings and queens being it such an ingrained epitaph, but who would really desire dealing with have nots their entire existence? I would select a court of plain faces because they are revealing to the soul.

anyone who wonder why African countries collaborate with China: not only they have common history of colonization, but China gives them something in return instead of just taking
i think this ship has sailed and the West won't be able to "partner" with them anymore
hope they will use their treasures for their own good, but for this corrupt politicians (in Africa) must go away

The purpose of the monarchy, as you've failed to ascertain, is that no one in a constitutional monarchy can rise to replace the crown, therefore they're stuck with the demoted position of prime minister, they can't override the very nature of the state and seize absolute power through political means, as say oh I don't know, Donald Trump is about to do by exploiting the weakness of America not being a a CM. But then, we shall ever wonder why the republic ends with an emperor, instead of having any historic awareness of what is and is not stable, and what systemic models always seem to fail by- republics exhaust into authoritarianism. This is the same ignorance that has caused the situation you now face, what both leftists and rightist have in common. Let's talk about America's colonialism. And the fact that your revolution was fought to deny slaves legal rights. Considering your now president is the symbol of what America really is, you are in fact worse. Canada got its residential school system from the United States. The fact that you won't take long responsibility for your country's sins and now who will run it for the next few decades makes you sound as stupid as it really is.

Monarchy around the world is funded by cocaine and heroin money they believe in corruption and support Naziissum

Great show. I would visit the British countryside. The Palace would be avoided completely. The Royal family is not a draw for me. Monkey World and green rolling hills do!

Mexican here:

Typical of Europeans, John Oliver doesn’t realize how awesome the British, Spanish and Portuguese empires were, and how the quality of life in their former colonies irrevocably improved.

To the great monarchies of Europe: Thank you, on behalf of all colonials! 👍

Re: Mau Mau. The BBC made a film called, "The First Grader" about an elderly Kikuyu gentleman that is a true story. Watch it, it's very emotional.

Watch 'The King's Speech.'
The British monarchy gives the UK a national identity to rally around in time of crisis.
No elected politician in the UK can claim the same unifying power.
Ironically the very fact the monarchy are hereditary and unelected gives them the basis to remain (mostly) apolitical and hence a much more stable claim to represent the national identity of the UK than any politician can ever dream of.

Or consider the alternative...
Do you really want the UK to become a self-hating nation like France with constant riots and no consistent policies?
The politicians in parliament will still retain condescending British colonial arrogance anyway.

Anyone who watched The Crown knows that those atrocities left Her Majesty heartbroken and saddened

The last residential school in Canada closed in 1996/1997 😨

Charles was being ironic - no surprise living in America lickspittle Oliver has lost the power to see it.
