Prince Charles defiant: Water canon could soon be used, says Telegraph

By Jane Burgermeister | December 12, 2010

Prince Charles and his wife Camilla have declared that they will not be cowed by the attack by rioters, and plan to continue with “business as usual”. They will carry on with “visible” public engagements, according to The Telegraph.

But is that really wise? Is this really such a good idea given the fact that they came so close to being lynched by an angry mob engulfing their Rolls Royce in Regents Street on Thursday?

Is there is no one in the Palace, like the Queen, to sit down and have a chat with them and take a firm grip on this pair before they get into a similar situation, and luck deserts them and they come to real harm?

It turns out that Prince Charles was warned by his bodyguards not to go to the theatrical extravaganza at the London Palladium on Thursday evening, making his decision to go all the more inexplicable.

It is worth recalling the scenes of chaos, of violent riots, of mayhem probably not seen in the capital since the Blitz – only this time the anger of the Brits was turned squarely against their own government. Thousands of police had to be drafted in to stop students from storming Parliament.

It was not just the tripling of student fees that angered protestors. It was the treachery of the Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg who had pledged not to increase the fees before the election – and who had collected votes precisely for that reason.

His treachery was too much even for his own MPs to stomach: more than three quarters refused to vote for a bill that will effectively cut off the bridges to higher education – and a future — for a generation.

When votes don’t count, when elections change nothing, when parliamentary democracy is fixed, when people can see that the rulers plan for them to sink into ever more poverty, then they do what the German Philosopher Hegel said they should do, and must do: they revolt against the elite that has fixed the system and is depriving them of their natural, God-given right to free, productive and dignified futures.

The police are a body designed to keep law and order not to deal with a revolution against a corrupt elite, and there is only so much they can do.

The UK banks have received countless billions from US taxpayers through the Federal Reserve bailouts as well as from British tax payers, but the FSA has even refused to release a key report on the banking collapse. Wise. The report will reveal the entire scam for what it is: debts that come from the manipulation of balance sheets; banks that have not collapsed at all; a false flag financial crisis designed to capture tax money under the pretext of having to pay interest on nonexistent, paper debts.

Irish Times economics reporter Dan O’Brien is probably the only person who still confuses public government debt and private bank debt that is saddled on governments. He is one of the few left who doesn’t understand that fiscal austerity is just another word for robbery of the people when the government debts are private banking debts and not public debts.

The problem in this case is not that taxation and spending have got out of balance: governments have not spent more than they have earned in the form of taxes.

The problem is that the gigantic, fraudulent bank debts should never have been loaded onto the tax payer in the first place. The solution is not a deflationary budget and debt spiral but default.

The speeches of the Union Leaders on Parliament Square showed that the people have a clear grasp of the economic theory underpinning this fraud. It really is as if your boss has borrowed your credit card, gone on a spending spree and given you the bill to pay. Or rather cut your wages by half to pay the bill.

Protests against magnate Sir Philip Green – who flew into Iceland at the height of the crisis and bought up companies for a pittance — were going on in the centre of London at the same time as the student protests: people are asking how come they have to pay more taxes and the pet tycoons of the government pay none?

Or to put it in another way: why are their wages being cut in half to pay for the fraudulent credit card debt but not the much higher wages of their bosses’ best friends?

It doesn’t help Bilderberg Prince Charles’ cause when the “elites” trickery is so transparent.

It doesn’t help Charles cause either that his German father Prince Philip Mountbatten – ( brother was in the Nazi Party) declared that a population of 3 million in Britain is more than enough, thank you very much.

It surely doesn’t help that key government advisors like Jonathon Porrit said in the Times in March 2009 that the population of the UK must be reduced to 30 million, roughly the same as in Victorian times, to protect the environment.

This makes it most regrettable that Prince Charles is seen as a figurehead of this population reduction movement. It is also regrettable that climate change is now widely considered to be a scientific fraud, and he is its cheerleader.

These remarks about population reduction and saving trees might well start to make the people of England think that they are superfluous in their own country and the Mountbattens and other Nazi types and bankers in the City of London want it all for themselves.

In this context where the “Endgame” is being played out, it doesn’t help that the GSK has just tried to give the whole population vaccines with mercury and adjuvants, proven to cause damage, for a non-existent swine flu pandemic. And people know it.

Nor is it helpful for Charles’ that he has been linked in the minds of the people with the murder of his popular wife, Princess Diana: she wrote a note saying Charles planned to kill her in a car crash just before a suspicious car crash…

It doesn’t help that Charles is seen as the ultimate effete and pampered cad with his butlers, valets and aides, the very reincarnation of Richard III, insecure, suffering from a chip on his shoulder, arrogant, immoral and aggressive.

All these factors made a trip to the theatre in a Rolls Royce when the city is engulfed by riots inadvisable.

But Charles ignored all the warnings, joked about the protests, and stepped into his highly visible Phantom V Rolls Royce for an enjoyable evening at the theatre.

It did not take long for the first people to recognize him as his Rolls Royce sailed like the Titanic on wheels down Regent Street. Within seconds, hundreds of people were chasing after the  Rolls Royce, shouting, waving sticks.

Prince Charles actually thought his fans had come to greet him and he waved through the windows of his Rolls Royce and smiles at the faces pressed against the glass.

The rioters multiplied, called for his head to be cut off, banged their fists on his car, kicked it. The police officers struggled to keep control and still Charles waved and smiled, apparently really not aware of the fact he was in the middle of a mob, baying for his blood. A window was cracked. Camilla got down on the floor, cowering before the chauffeur stepped on the pedal and drove straight into the crowd in one of the busiest streets of London in truly shocking scenes that have gone around the world.

Is it really wise for Charles and Camilla to continue with business as usual given what happened? Have they shown good judgment in measuring risks so far?

In their position, I think I would be reinforcing the security of Buckingham Palace and Highbury with machine gun posts, sand bags and underground bunkers and stocking up on food and ammo instead. And don’t forget a few water canon trucks at every corner!

Is there no one in Charles’s highly experienced circle of advisors who is ready to take him aside for a quiet one-to-one chat and explain to him that he is one of the most detested figures in all England and that going into the crowds that see him as the very personification of the corrupt, City of London, Bilderberg elite, that has brought so much suffering, oppression and poverty, let alone going into those crowds, waving highly visibly, is just not advisable? That German police chiefs explained to their governments that no amount of water trucks and police can quell large-scale political unrest arising from obvious misrule and corruption?

What about the Queen? She seems like a sensible type of woman? My Mum met the Queen when she was younger and thought she had her feet still on the ground.

Would the Queen not have a heart to heart chat with her son? Would she not explain to him over a cup of tea that the circle of people who like him — or at least suffer him gladly — has shrunk to her, Prince Philip, his valet, butler, the Rothschilds, George Soros, Cameron and Blair, the Queen of the Netherlands and the Queen of Spain and the Hohenzollerns and a few other Globalists.

Perhaps she can show him some video clips of the students waging pitched battles with the police on Parliament Square, of mounted police riding into crowds and the crowds flinging sticks, and anything they could get their hands on, attacking police with metal bars, injuring several seriously, to make him understand that going on Thursday into a city engulfed by unprecedented riots in his Rolls Royce was rather risky.

Or a video of the student taken to hospital with blood on his face, concussed from the truncheon blows, to show that the people are serious about wanting a change and a revolution is brewing and the cuts haven’t even begun to bite.

After tea and biscuits, she could go over the budget figures and point out to him that the UK government has just slashed 40 % off the budget to give money to the banks for fraudulently engineered paper debts.

Perhaps she should show him footage of the parliament in Iceland being stormed because the people refused to pay the banks debts as evidence that in 2010 things are really not like they used to be in the good old days when kids went down the coal mines.

Who knows if facts will help?

It could be that Charles thinks plunging into a round of high profile public engagements is a display of defiance that will impress the hard pressed peasants, suggesting toughness, courage and an arrogant disdain of dangers by the superman, who is destined to rule the British empire.

Perhaps he thinks the crowds will be inspired by his appearance in a Rolls Royce, waving from the window, as he trundles down Regents Street guarded by water canon trucks, tanks and armoured vehicles, all sticking close just in case.

Water canon trucks are of limited use when crowds move fast around a city, splitting into groups. Also, the use of water canon on peaceful protestors in Stuttgart, Germany, actually multiplied the number of people demonstrating on the streets against a railway project perceived to benefit only a corporate clique.

Someone needs to pluck up courage and explain to Charles that keeping a stiff upper lip generally only wins kudos when people are seen to be fighting for a higher ideal: for example, the common good, justice, truth.

The robbery of a country via a bank scam to have more valets and butlers is not considered a high ideal. A draconian reduction of the population so that Charles and Philip have more green space to ride out in is not considered a statemanlike ideal in a civilization moulded by the ideals of classical Greece and Rome, and infused by the sensibility of Shakespeare.

If Charles has a moment in between playing polo, skinning or gardening, he could flick through his Plato, and study Plato’s theory of courage. For someone to be courageous, they have to fight for something that is objectively a good thing, argues Plato. Otherwise it is not courage, it is stubbornness, folly, delusion.

Another approach to get Charles to open his mind might be to show him the many recent neurological studies that show that if we think the same thoughts over and over again, these thoughts configure our brain in such a way that we find it hard to think other thoughts.

For example, if we spend all our time scheming, calculating, plotting, intriguing for our profit, we can find those parts of our brains that think more altruistic thoughts shutting down for lack of use. Our thoughts become locked into the neurological circuits that lead to repetition. This appears to be the neurological roots of obsession, fixation and egomaniacal delusion. If the thought is speeding around my own brain so fast, it must be real, no?

No one as much as Aristotle put so much emphasis on cultivating the habit of virtue, the habit of justice, of integrity of generosity and of courage.

Who knows what will persuade Charles to consider the many new factors at play, and adapt his behaviour to the ever changing circumstances, and take sensible precautions for his own safety?

But for his own sake, one of his plentiful and highly paid advisors should surely make an effort and try to stop him getting into a scrap of the kind he got into on Thursday after he ignored warnings about just how dangerous his jaunt to the theatre would be and found himself dangerously alone in a mob, and that no amount of  water canons, tanks and riot police can protect him or his banker friends if he takes such risks under the influence, it would appear, of nothing more noble than hubris.

The universal law of justice is as simple as it is inexorable: they who sow the wind of war and bank collapses, shall reap the whirlwind.
