a line with a fairy tale. all right, let's get into the m o. the is a family whose story goes back hundreds of years and spans the world over. the house of windsor is a story one. for some there the beloved heroes of world history books. for others, there are the villains who oppressed and exploited nearly one 3rd of the planets. now loved them or hate them, there is no dispute that the late queen elizabeth klan left an indelible mark on the world, shaping it to be what we know it as today. now under the reign of king charles, the house is in turmoil. the freshly coordinated king rumored to be suffering from advanced pancreatic cancer with an unsubstantiated prognosis of just 2 years left to live. here to break it all down is a good friend of the show. this sean stone,

sean is a filmmaker historian and author of the book, new world order, and you can learn more about shawn's work at shawn stone dot info. so shawn, let's start with the revelation that came. charles has cancer. now he assumed the throne in the fall of 2022, after his mother, the longest reigning model monarch, the late queen elizabeth the 2nd. after she passed away, his official coordination was just may of 2023, less than a year after that. this cancer news. but little else is known about his health. you know exactly what sort of cancer, what stage it's in, et cetera. why is the palace keeping so mom about this? and should they be so private? should they should that? that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a tough question. you know? because who am i to speak for the royalty this? this pretends this facade that has been going on for over a well over

a 1000 years now in england. and, you know, it's, it's not a surprise to me. i hate to say it, but i can, i can tell you exactly how just do a mixture of, of intelligence and tuition and other people, you know, i see intelligence as like intelligence services types. so basically it's like i knew that charles is rain would be very short lived. let's put it like this. and so i'm predicting that whether it's through passing or just simply stepping down because of health. things like this that charles was really just an intermediary step. and i think a lot of people expected this to, to williams assuming this wrong to. yeah, i figured the sad irony here was that, you know, queen elizabeth just kept going and going and going, you know, never stepping down. and charles awaited his chance to roll. he's now in his seventies. he waited a long time only to be diagnosed with cancer

a year later. that one would have put his um i think a, you know, to be honest, it was in again, this is an american perception perhaps. but i don't think a lot of people have really expected charles to to be k. there was a lot of talk even when elizabeth was around that i was just sort of pass, you know, right away to william that he was really the era parent. and charles was sort of the idiot, son, i hate to say. uh well, i mean that's kind of the way that he presented to be honest, ever since the days of diana, you know, and when it was sort of the divorce was obviously very messy from the world perspective. you know, didn't like having to go through that, that experience, i'm sure. right. the they like to keep it all classy and clean and divorces aren't that. and that from that point forward i think um, you know, it's, it was really kind of just for view. the charles was, was, was

a kind of the intermediary for his, for his son. well, then a month after king charles is announcement, princess take middleton wife of the future. king william. she puts out a social media video announcing her cancer diagnosis and that she's undergoing chemotherapy. no specifics there either. but then she gets wild in this sort of weird. a botched photo re touched drama for you came mother's day. i mean, i get that she's a royal, she's a celebrity and, and get subjected to perhaps unfair and, and certainly on equal scrutiny. but at the end of the day, she saw a person right to me. she's a mom of 3 young children. she's fighting cancer, shouldn't she being granted a little grace or given some slack here? as i said, the beginning, you know, the parents and the pretense of royalty. there is no humanity in it. i think princess diana was, was a, an agree expression of that in the ninety's. you know,

she, she was hard pressed by the royal family, the by the, the, the, all the drama that came around the divorce, the attacks, the, you know, the way that she had to basically show up in the world. it was, it was a lot of stress for her. and i think that it cages living through very similar, you know, dramatics, i'd say the scheming that goes on because it's the same whether it's a, you know, political administration is one thing, right? we know that as f d r said if it's happens in politics and it was planned that way. well, imagine you're a part of a family dynasty, right? that's hundreds of years old and has to, has to, let's pretend for, hey, that's the whole point. it's all about pretending it's all about selling an image, keeping up this pretence that we, we have this sovereignty in this power that the rest of you wish to admire. and we can see what they sell. i mean, how much news and media is just focused on the daily happenings, right. of,

of someone in the royal family it's, it's the celebrities of, of, of europe, right. of, of england in particular, it's that old celebrity attraction that, you know, sells magazines in america as well. that's what the real family is. so you, knowing that understanding that the celebrity side of things, you know, i understand pretty well like how much the private side is used basically for exploitation and also hidden. because if too much is developed from the private, you can end up losing the fascination or you don't wanna lose your audience as they say. and of course, the whole, you know, the british and the british commonwealth is the audience of everything happening with kate. so of course it would be nice to say yes, she's a human being with the royal family as well. he could say this ironically is not quite human. all right, so princess kate is taking this reprieve of royal duties for obvious health reasons . but prince harry and wife american actress megan markelle,

have simply chosen to step away from the royal family in its entirety. now they're just living, i guess the celebrity lives in california. next to oprah. for her part though, meghan merkel told oprah in an interview before the queen died, that she felt the family was racist towards her. i mean, she doesn't name names, but in fact, and i'm paraphrasing here. she said she and her 1st baby archie were discriminated against. the palace has fervently denied these allegations. but given the royal families, no history of conquest and colonialism. kinda not a far fetched idea. we know racism exist. why does the world care more about what else particular allegation? i don't know if the world well, i don't know if the world cares more and necessarily it's more sensational, right? the media can play it up because it's being charged against someone who's received at that time. you know, the queen is as powerful person as and so of course,

you know, if you're making allegations against powerful people, it's going to be played up as long as the media wants to play it up. as we know, there is often times allegations videos called for people that are suppressed. so in this case the media wanted to play it up. and there's probably some truth to it . i mean, again, the nature of this monarchy, this british empire has been one. as you mentioned, of, of conquest at one point at the height of the empire, they control the quarter of the planet. so that was, you know, and that led to how many debts, for example like india is you know, one of the, the various indian famines that occurred as a result of the various policies you know, from the, from the british imposing upon them, uh, shifting their economy obviously, throughout africa they're within all kinds of brutal wars and not just, you know, for a conquest of things like gold and diamonds. right. but the establishment of institutional systems that were based on exploitation and you know,

so there's long history here. obviously, you can argue that also the british empire liked the roman empire, which was also brutal lead to the establishment of what is now, you know, considered modern civilization, the legal structures, the economic structures, they're based from those british mortalities. and so obviously it's not just, you know, the crown, but the crown, it is a very powerful entity in itself and its own right in terms of the land, whole thing in terms of the nature of, of the influence, right? they have sovereign immunity, these kings and queens and their families. so there's um, there's a lot that can be said in terms of the influence that they've had. and, and it's interesting, i think that, you know, this notion of megan and harry sort of fleeing that establishment. i don't know, like i personally question how much is this? you know, them just wanting to live their life without being under constant scrutiny and under constant? well, i guess there are under costs really,

but let's say like under the protocols of the oils right. the way that we talked about now, you know, with kate, it's like you're under constant protocol and decorum, whereas these guys like us and we, we want to enjoy them. the rich is the well, the status that comes with that. but we want to be able to be, have some freedom, and that's probably what they're doing at some level. all right, coming up next. some people are above criminal prosecution. they claim by divine right. as a sovereign, how does this antiquated ideas still exist in the 21st century? we'll discuss it when we return with shawn stone. said type em all will be right back. the oh the, the

russian state never is as tight as i'm sort of the most sense community best ingles, all sense and up the in the 6595 and speed. what else calls question about this? even though we will ben in the european union, the kremlin, and media machine, the states on the rush, booting and split the ortiz full neck, even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube, the services even closer to the

the, the, the, the, the other you lose your what sky o'neills was it when you talk with bob, bob. got them for the for the

move. the weight of the money for the theater, if as little as humanly is for that please just like you associate with read it. well, i get those go for need a lot more. so those are the doors of familiar with the fact that but yeah, i don't know the shape but just as soon as i make it so that we can see it in there, which is central funding for you. i think a good deal. that'd be the the

the welcome back to the m o i'm and l a chance. sean stone. thank you for sticking around with us. so shawn, in, in queen elizabeth, final years. she had a lot of a personal and family strife to deal with specific ways surrounding her younger son, prince andrew, and his ties to the deceased, financed ear and convicted, sex offender, jeffrey epstein. andrew is basically an accused child rapist, according to virginia to fray. the queen then basically banished andrew from all of

these royal events. but his royal status has protected him from being served lawsuit papers from being expedited to the wes. his title has saved his hide from prosecution. if the royal family are mostly just figure heads, why are they seemingly above international law? well, they literally are mean sovereign immunity is exactly that. sovereign immunity. which means that really, you know, once you're a sovereign, you are above the loss because the laws are written for commenters. i mean that's, this is my fundamental problem with the nature of royalty. and in, in, in the old world capacity, you know, my mentality is like every human being should be regarded as, while by nature of the divinity, right? that's as part of the american constitutional conception or the declaration that we are created very much in the biblical sense. in the image of god,

by the power of god, right? with certain inalienable rights. that's not a british conception. the british conception is, is very much rights taken from the king's basically whether it's through magna carta, whether it's through various, uh, you know, barons and other titled nobility, right, nights and others trying to basically a certain, their rights. these are the, this is crown that had basically that was, you know, in the, or was there much continuation of roman imperialism. right? the idea that the, the king is the christ of the christ and figure i'll say the god of are the most, the, the, the god on earth works through the king or the queen. right? they have defined right to rule. and basically then they grant powers, the grant titles, the grant lands, right, the grant you liberties, that's the old mortality of, of the legal system. and we all actually still operate under those same conceptions,

right? our, our legal system is all derived from that and wouldn't know whether it was the king's or in america became the government. but it was in many ways the opposite of this more, let's say the, the american principle, which is really like the biblical principle that like it's actually god that is giving us our rights as every one of us equally as humans. and then we get to sort of come together and decide ok, what powers we give to, you know, governments or whatever police force is right. but it's fundamentally supposed to be for the people in america. 3 england, obviously not the same. so that's, that's to answer your question in a long and a long way, why he can get away with this. and then in the more, you know, in a more interesting capacity, it's not just a is not just him. the whole role family has been in imbued with pedophile charges for going back to not, not least to lord mount that. don't forget who was the cousin to the queen was very

influential in prince philip, who i think was a very nefarious figure within the real family. but obviously philip was the husband of, uh, elizabeth, non baton was notorious pedophile across the world. no mentors for, for a look into that look into it. basically look notorious for trafficking and in the, especially like the indian, you know, young indian boys and things like this. and yeah, non baton actually was i believe brought jimmy salbal into the folder was connected was very close to jimmy's apple who was became very, very close to the pro family. right. and who was apple, the torres pedophile of cross decades protected by this establishment. sample was so close the royal family that they have assigned him to at one point to try to liaise between diana and charles during their divorce. so that, you know, the idea of, of, of the, these roles being involved with pen ophelia hum. this is,

this is a, this is an old and problematic issue that has never really been on, or i yeah, rule for me not for me as a solver and i guess seems profoundly outdated, but that's just me. i'm not a royal watcher. so all this is actually news to me, but also not shocking either. if that makes sense. um, now speaking of sex scandals, another sex scandal has recently befell the palace this time concerning hip hop mobile, sean p diddy combs photos have surfaced of prince william and harry hanging out with duty who is now accused of similar crimes as jeffrey epstein that we should know at the time of this taping, did he has not had any charges brought against him despite you know that big federal raid on his home in los angeles. currently, the palace of scrambling the distance, the 2 princes from duty, with all these things taken into account. are we beginning to see the fall of the

house of windsor as is the crown crumbling? i think, you know, honestly, with the, with the passing of elizabeth. there was some things sort of symbolic, right, in terms of that passing and ever since then we'll gather said there's, there's a, there's a, there's a expectation that this is about the preparation of william what william do, right, when he assumes this wrong, will he be that sort of our story and figure to say, listen, you know, this is we need to this band, this whole is this mockery that we're, you know, we call the world or royal family and royalty in the modern age. it's just, you know, we need to dissolve this when we do that in the magnanimous sense and say, i'm not above, you know, the people we are all the same. or will they just simply try to carry this on? because again, i mean there's a lot of as much as the psychology right. the,

this ecology that people have when they, they think of their royalty in england. i've, you know, i've talked to it over the talk over the years and i was just always fascinated by like, why, you know, why do you still have to get king or queen in that capacity? and they, it was like this, this style just right. i guess the same way that in america we have this voucher for our founding fathers. it's, you know, the secretary and romance, you know, it's been like, well, tradition and they've just the know they've been the sort of stabilizing force and there's a mythology that, that develops around, you know, i guess around that concept of king queen shift in your, you know, in that land um but they also is about just figure heads, you know, they literally have a huge amount of holdings. in fact, i think if you really got to the heart of it, who owns the land of england, and i would find, i think you'd find that it's basically the crown that owns the land and rents it to people or, or gives you know, title and holdings and things like this, but you need to be think of the needs, the entire structure, right, of, of,

of one and being late and not just thing. then obviously, you know, talking about the commonwealth, which as i mentioned, one point you know, is a quarter of the planet. they lost in the last, you know, parts of the last parts of africa. but there's still a huge number of countries around the world, including canada, australia, and others that are part of the commonwealth. and so is it the co pays at the crown? the still owns that land, right? but see that it basically said here you, this is, you can have a home rule, you know, and you can have a kind of, you know, some kind of authority over it, but fundamentally it's still belongs to the crowd. so it's a very, very complicated to actually dissolve the monarchy and it would affect all, have huge gratifications, you know, across the entire commonwealth and, and into starting with, with england. which is, you know, still a very wealthy country in the world, but how much of the wealth is tied to you can call like, you know, the crown issuing grants of title and land and things like this. i don't know. you think william might shake the house to windsor up or i don't know. i wouldn't

suggest that he will. i mean, i think that would be fascinating if he did that. but as we, you know, as you were talking about, like, you know, are we seeing that the dissolution i, it's like, i don't, i don't know unless, unless william did something that was you know, structurally, again, or magnanimous and above the capacity of what we've seen. most, most kings would do okay. so more broadly, i'm a minority of countries left in the world operate on a monarchy system, $43.00 of them to be exact 13 of them outside of view k recognize the british monarchy as the technical head of state from tiny islands like popular new guinea to big ones like australia, as you mentioned, our neighbors to the north, canada, even the nearby bahamas recognize charles as king is a time to do away with monarchy is altogether. and if so,

replace them with what was i mentioned before i made replace it with an american style, the constitution declaration, right? so basically you're creating a new system of, of trust where in the power of the grand torres, god, you know, the, the, the, all the, all knowing, all loving benevolent creator and the trustees of the governor of the government. and you know, in the, in the beneficiaries are the people and then basically the, you know, the people are the ones that have to hold the trustees accountable for how things are going. and that's, and that's something that i think, you know, we, we know, we, we, we expect in america, obviously we've seen how the corruption is set in. now, you know, this establishing tries to party system is, has made it very difficult overtime and user patient of a lot of rights we've seen just because of a so ready to again, just emergency powers and things like this. we know more power than other things

we've surrendered our many of our, our fundamental rights and liberties because of the expectations, the government will do it better and take better care of us and keep our security and all this nonsense. but if you know, if you think about the fundamental constitution bill of rights, declaration of independence, i think america has got the, the best form of government possible and this current, you know, innovation of humanity. all right. i would say, god have mercy on those who pursue an american style democracy. i mean, i would argue our democracy is currently in shambles. i mean, why would anyone want to mimic us? because be because you've, you've created a federal government that was, that's as far beyond what the founders ever envisioned federal government to do any as many use or patient of, of, of rights that were fundamental. and then trying that our bill of rights and the expectations of, of you know, where we, the people were supposed to hold the government accountable. and basically, due to a mass, huge amount of corruption and the basic surrendering of rights every time there's

an emergency which really started you can say what the civil war, but then got, you know, increased ever since 1933 with the roosevelt of declaring emergency because of the, the economic emergency he wanted war powers. and ever since then we've basically been in a perpetual state of emergency. so whenever there was emergency, we just, well, the government is going to take more and more of your rights, more of the checks, you know, let's say the checks and balances system away. and as i said, the federal government was never intended to, to be as large and impactful in our, in our, in our economy, in our lives as it's become. all right, fair enough. i gotta leave it right there, shaun. unfortunately, shawn stone, filmmaker historian, author of the book, new world order. thank you so much for sharing your insights with us today. it's a pleasure, thanks for having me. and that is going to do it for this episode of modus operandi, to show that dig steep in the foreign policy and current affairs. i'm your host manella chance. thank you for tuning in. we'll see you again next time and figure

out the m. o, the, [000:00:00;00] the at the end of the 18th century britain began the illegal opium afraid in china. this hard drugs causing addiction and literally destroying the human body became a gold mine, or businessman from the foggy owl beyond. however,

the ruling chinese jean dynasty tried to resist and to stop the illegal trade which provoked the wrath of the london business community. in 1840 without a declaration of war, the english fleet began to seize and plunder chinese coastal boards. the barley, armed and morally drained chinese army, was unable to provide adequate resistance. the jing empire was forced to hand hong kong over to england and open it supports for trading. the leads of the, in 1856 branch and the united states joined in the robbery of china. the anglo french troops defeated the chinese occupied basie and committed an unprecedented robbery. destroyed and blundered the wealth of the un menu one palace. the defeat of the jing dynastee and the do opium wars fled to the transformation of the celestial empire into a semi colony of your to be in states and started the age of humiliation. and the

sale of opium took on collazo proportions and lead to the horrible depths of millions of ordinary chinese. the take a fresh look around his life kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion, by how of tired vision with no real opinions pictures designed to simplify will confuse really once a better wills, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images present? it is, but can you see through their illusion going underground can among the casualties as a result of israel's genocidal assault on causes including suspension of international humanitarian law,

but also free speech across the western world. perversely, being pro palestinian and pro peace is condemned as pen. i submitted the breaking news around president abraham racy and his foreign minister has said, a mirror of the law hen have died in a helicopter crash in the arabian province of east as or by john lorraine. in 1st, the vice president is expected to serve as interim president as the country will hold new presidential elections within the next 50 days. the contrary to us senator is expressing their satisfaction over the crash leaders and the global south extend that there are some of the early 2 of on supporting the nation and the moments of great loss. and the u. k. high court will deliver a verdict on whistleblower juliana san 2 faces decades in jail if extradited to the
