    Historian Starkey discusses why the strong historical analogies between the present crisis in the UK and the “first Brexit” was promoted by Henry VIII. And many other issues such as the attacks by globalist (he uses the term “liberal”) pseudo-religious ideology on society and education.

    • Thanks for sharing that, Dana. What a refreshing change to hear (somewhere other than GDS!) real thoughts being exchanged about real issues, and a very English discussion about Englishness. I was particularly interested to hear him link Brexit with The Glorious Revolution (1688), a connection I also see – particularly on an esoteric level as The Battle of the Boyne 2.0. All change, please! All change!

      • Yes, he basically says that over the centuries parliamentary rule has replaced royal rule with gradually increasing inclusiveness of the various sectors of society, though still maintaining a basically oligarchical character*; but that this process has been halted or reversed with the current parliament opening blocking the Brexit majority expressed by the people.
        *I think he is right regarding the concept that the leading role of an active minority is inherent in virtually any human organisation (as formulated in the modern version by Mosca and Pareto).

        • So how do you see the “Irish angle” in this respect?

          • I see The Battle of The Boyne (1689) as the point in time when rule of England passed from the divine right of kings to the banksters, with The House of Orange and the English parliament acting as front men. Andrew Power, in his self-published book, “Ireland, Land of The Pharaohs,” claims that The Battle of The Boyne was an Osiris ritual, which took place on the bend in The Boyne (rather than in Henley-on-Thames, for example) because the topography matched that of The Nile. He claims there was no battle as such at all, merely an elaborate, carefully-staged ritual connected with the ancient megaliths at Newgrange and the people who went to Egypt from Atlantis via Ireland. I don’t know what, if any, credibility Power has. He is not, and does not claim to be, a scholar; but it’s a fascinating story which resonates quite a bit with me.

            • Many historic battles have a ritual component, involving sacrifice.

            • Ah! Foglamp .. That’s EXACTLY what I thought .. Andrew’s insights are here and it’s a great first and final interview .. It resonated with me too .. (According to legend .. Power came to this knowledge thru VERY high family connections passed down via deep masonic oral tradition) ..

            • BTW, the only copy of the book I have been able to obtain is an online pdf. Unfortunately, what might perhaps be one of the most interesting passages in the book, about the role of ETs in the affair, has been completely redacted. Talk about frustrating!
