As an American, I have not spent a lot of time thinking about royalty. Our founders rebelled against it; wrote a lot about the negative aspects of Tyrants; and baked this into the Constitution: "No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States."

Despite that, I have often thought - looking at Canada, the UK, Australia, etc. - that perhaps a tamed royalty adds a nice flair and creates a sense of pride that we lack in the US. Queen Elizabeth seems a good person and she has done some good things.

That said, history is in the process of proving our founders right. The British Royal family is in bed with anti-democratic traitors and all the gilded carriages can't cover that up.

This news story #royalsforhire is ABSOLUTELY DAMNING. The Queen's cousin and the Marquess of Reading will sell themselves (and the UK by extension) to advance Putin's interests.

FxCK all of this "His friend, the Marquess of Reading, later described Prince Michael as “Her Majesty’s unofficial ambassador to Russia.”"

And this comes after the reporting - that I previously knew nothing about - that the Queen herself reigns over the Island of Jersey. And the Island of Jersey is full of pedophiles and money-launderers and SHE PROFITS FROM IT ALL. cc @gregolear gregolear.substack.com/p/jersey-off-s…

I mean - my God - the Queen and the Royal Family are invested in the Cayman Islands to prevent their wealth from being taxed by the very nation they supposedly represent. theguardian.com/news/2017/nov/…

Now I am aware that tax cheating and Putin loving are not the sole territory of Royals. npr.org/2019/09/27/764…

And let's face it, tax cheating and child rape know no borders: theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/j…

And let's face it, if we do not police the powerful, they will do what they do: sell us off to the highest bidder for sex, power and profit.

We are a nation in which the citizens are the sovereigns. It is OUR government, formed by the people, and it exists solely for our collective benefit. We can't afford to have royals or senators or anyone else selling us out for child rape or money.
