4. Joseph Ellis, *The Cause: The American Revolution and Its Discontents, 1773 to 1783*. Thomas Paine's *Common Sense* revolutionized the rebellion by using plain language to argue that an island could not rule a continent and that monarchies were inherently flawed. Paine shifted the movement's focus from the rights of Englishmen to the natural rights of all human beings, making American victory seem inevitable. However, the harsh reality of war was felt at Valley Forge, where George Washington's army faced starvation and exposure due to a lack of congressional support. During that brutal winter, approximately 1,200 soldiers died of malnutrition and exposure, testing the endurance of those who "stayed the course". (4)1865 PARIS

1. The Founding Mothers and Augustan Propaganda(1)Guest author Emma Southon notes that historians like Livy wrote during the reign of Augustus to reshape early Roman history to justify the return to monarchy. These writers aimed to portray Rome as the most virtuous and god-beloved nation. A primary narrative involves the Sabine women, who were kidnapped to populate the new city. Led by Hersilia, these women eventually intervened in a battle, acting as the "glue" that turned a war between enemies into a family conflict. Southon contrasts the virtuous Hersilia with Tarpeia, a "bad" woman who betrayed Rome for luxury. (2)

3. Wicked Queens and the Sacrifice of Vestals (5)Southon discusses Tullia, the "wicked" opposite of Lucretia, who murdered her family to seize power and defiled her father's body. Her ambition served as a warning that monarchy breeds tyranny. The focus then shifts to the Vestal Virgins, such as Oppia, who were tasked with maintaining Rome's eternal flame. If bad omens occurred, a Vestal might be accused of unchastity and buried alive as a human sacrifice to appease the gods. Often, there was no evidence of wrongdoing beyond "unchaste" behavior like telling jokes or wearing nice dresses. (6)

Prince William is reportedly determined to see the scandal surrounding Andrew Mountbatten Windsor fully resolved before he becomes king — even if that means allowing the legal system to examine the case openly.Sources cited by Radar Online say the Prince of Wales believes the controversy has dragged on far too long and that the monarchy cannot afford to carry unresolved questions into the next reign. One insider said William views Andrew as “toxic” to the future of the institution and wants the matter confronted directly rather than quietly managed behind palace walls.At the same time, new rumors continue to circulate that King Charles the Third could step down because of the strain surrounding the scandal and his ongoing health concerns. Royal insider Deep Crown cautions that abdication would strip Charles of the legal protections that come with the Crown, suggesting a regency would be a far more likely constitutional path if the King were to step back from active duties.Meanwhile, the Wales family has also fueled speculation about Prince George's future education after visiting Marlborough College, while Princess Anne drew praise online for joking about a near-hug with Scotland's rugby captain during the Six Nations.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

Eric Rice of The Rice Report shares his perspective on global power structures arguing that the world is moving toward a technocratic monarchy supported by an ecumenical world religion rather than a traditional one-world government. He suggests that current global chaos is a Hegelian dialectic designed to make the public beg for a “false light” or a centralized AI-driven social order. Rice emphasizes the importance of biblical discernment, warning that many popular alternative media figures may be inadvertently promoting gnostic or esoteric agendas. The discussion also touches on the inevitability of biometric digital IDs and the role of the Vatican in historical and future power dynamics.  Watch on BitChute / Brighteon / Rumble / Substack / YouTube *Support Geopolitics & Empire!

Historian and American monarchist Charles Coulombe joins Damian Thompson to make the case for traditional monarchies. He argues that monarchs are unjustly cast as tyrants, when they should be seen as defenders of tradition – especially in an era of secular western politicians who seem to hate the countries they serve. Charles even goes further to suggest such type of rule is ‘natural'. But how can popular support for monarchies survive in the modern age? Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Episode SummaryOn this week's Mid-Atlantic, Roifield Brown convenes his transatlantic panel to examine two democracies straining under the weight of power, personality and public distrust. In Washington, President Trump's State of the Union address is dissected less as governing document and more as performance art, heavy on self congratulation, generous with medals and applause lines, and sharply combative toward Democrats. The panel questions whether such rhetoric represents democratic resilience, institutions holding firm, or simply the normalization of political antagonism as spectacle.Across the Atlantic, the arrest of Prince Andrew under investigation, alongside renewed scrutiny stemming from the Epstein files, pushes Britain into uncomfortable constitutional territory. Is this elite accountability finally catching up with power, or is it a carefully managed distancing exercise by an institution that has survived by cutting loose liabilities? The monarchy's durability, its relationship to political neutrality, and the erosion of deference are all put under the microscope. Comparisons with the United States are unavoidable, particularly the appetite, or lack thereof, for holding powerful figures to account.The conversation then turns to the Gorton and Denton by election, a contest that feels bigger than its geography. With Labour, Reform and the Greens in a tight race, the panel debates whether Britain is entering a period of structural political realignment. Is Reform's ascent a populist vindication or a short term protest vehicle? Can the Greens convert authenticity and digital savvy into sustained influence? And are the Conservatives facing something more existential than a bad polling cycle? On both sides of the Atlantic, the episode leaves listeners with a bracing question, are these systems bending or quietly being remade?Five Key Quotes“It's presidential politics as world wrestling, this is what Trump does.”“You can't tell people that things are great when they're not.”“There's a reason they've survived for 1,100 years, they're experts at survival.”“The splintering is extraordinary, it's all to play for.”“Authenticity is the difference, people can tell.” Hosted on Acast.

Is the release of files on Project Artichoke a joke, mockery, or part of a plan to deconstruct the state? While parroting patriots brag about Olympic gold medals, the White House is at work gutting the tenth amendment, first over artificial intelligence, and now over glyphosate and agricultural chemicals.The release of files on 9/11, JFK, RFK, MLK, Epstein, etc., have vindicated as many conspiracy theories. But much of what was learned by some had already been known by others. Other files have not been released, or conspiracies exposed, like Project Artichoke or Northwoods. A new document pertaining to Artichoke was added to a CIA archive recently but the program has been known about since the 1970s. Nothing new has been released on Northwoods, yet the paper circulated as if it had been in 2025. DOGE exposed waste, but this was not the first time that has happened. Former FBI officials saying phones can be used to spy or influencers pointing out that many foods are food-like substances are both old news. The public is being fed already available information laced with poison. The goal appears to be the undermining of what little faith remains in all foundational, legacy systems. People then demand new parties and system of government. This is where Curtis Yarvin, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and JD Vance, among others, come into play. Their neoreactionary movement advocates for exposing flaws in the current system - failed democracy and bloated bureaucracies - to replace them with technological-monarchy and autocracy. A great example of how this is being done can be found in the issue of glyphosate. In Dec 2025: USDA announces $12 Billion to help farmers pay for chemicals/fertilizer. On Jan 2026: USDA releases the Pesticide Data Program report declaring 99% of food "safe” based on a USDA benchmark. On Feb 2026: Trump uses the Defense Production Act to label weedkiller a "national security asset." As with the Big Beautiful Bill, which was a massive and wasteful bill that stripped state-rights over Artificial Intelligence, HR 7567 is attempting to do the same with pesticide labeling. It calls for “uniformity in pesticide labeling nationally” and will “prohibit any State... or a court from directly or indirectly... hold[ing] liable any entity.” The bill effectively destroys the 10th amendment and state rights, setting an additional precedent for federal control. It's not just business as usual, it's worse business and it's worse than usual. The long declassified Project Artichoke, or the exploration of mind control, supposedly being to classified at the same time appears to be nothing more than a mockery and a joke.https://www.congress.gov/119/bills/hr7567/BILLS-119hr7567ih.pdfhttps://www.usda.gov/farmers-first https://www.ams.usda.gov/press-release/usda-publishes-2024-pesticide-data-program-annual-summaryhttps://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/02/promoting-the-national-defense-by-ensuring-an-adequate-supply-of-elemental-phosphorus-and-glyphosate-based-herbicides/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

I am against MonarchiesCurrently, the British state is convulsed around allegations surrounding a member of its Royal family. Norway too is in the midst of a crisis around its monarchy. The law of both states will take their course, as is right.However, these controversies raise for me the very existence of monarchies. A family elite which through past colonial conquest and patronage, and in alliance with business and societal elites, continues to enjoy a place of wealth and privilege and influence. Given that the British state includes a part of Ireland, at least for the time being, this is more than an academic issue for those of us who are captives of this undemocratic system of privilege. I am instinctively against monarchies. Of any kind. Constitutional or otherwise. Monarchies are bad. The late Tony Benn put it well when he said that “the existence of a hereditary monarchy helps to prop up all the privilege and patronage that corrupts our society; that is why the crown is seen as being of such importance to those who run the country - or enjoy the privileges it affords.”Conradh na Gaeilge Votes for UnityAt the end of last year Oireachtas na Samhna in Belfast was a huge success. Thousands of Irish speakers, including Uachtarán Catherine Connolly, spent several days enjoying the music, dance, culture, arts, craic and discussions that are part of the oldest Irish language and arts event on the island of Ireland. In August Belfast will host the Comhaltas Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, the world's biggest celebration of Irish music and culture.All of this is evidence of the change that is taking place. I was pleased to attend An Conradh's Ard Fheis. The conference was alive and vibrant with a new generation of young gaeilgeoirí determined to assert their Irishness, proud of their language and determined to stand up for their language and national rights. They were articulate, positive, funny, hopeful and generous. Micheál Martin out of step on UnityLast week, An Taoiseach Micheál Martin, in an interview with TG4, claimed that there is not much substance behind Sinn Féin's campaign on Unity.  The Fianna Fáil leader, who has consistently rejected any common sense suggestions to prepare for unity, returned to his favourite and bogus argument that we need reconciliation before unity.Martin's comments are out of step with the political reality and popular opinion North and South. He also misses entirely the point that the demand for unity is not simply being put by Sinn Féin. Former leaders of Fine Gael and the SDLP, as well the SDLP leadership, Ireland's Future, the Irish Labour Party, the Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Good Friday Agreement and others are part of the growing demand for the Irish government to prepare for unity.

It’s the scandal that refuses to die, and it’s climbing higher up the royal ladder. Revelations from the so-called “Epstein files” have already toppled a former prince and a senior British ambassador. Now, for the first time, King Charles is named in an email from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, with claims he was blamed for stripping then Prince Andrew of his trade envoy role. In this episode of The Briefing with Natarsha Belling, royal historian Andrew Lownie reacts to the ongoing fallout from the Epstein files and the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. He claims what we’ve seen so far is only the tip of the iceberg, pointing to a vast network spanning sex trafficking allegations, financial dealings, intelligence agencies and even national security concerns. Andrew Lownie wrote the unauthorised biography, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, which alleges a massive cover-up by key government agencies and the Monarchy over the former Prince Andrew. Headlines: Former Australian of the Year Grace Tame has rejected an apology from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese after he described her as “difficult", an alarm will sound from almost every mobile phone across the country on the 27th July, and Aussie rock legends INXS are in the running for one of music’s highest honours.

The Prince and Princess of Wales returned to the BAFTAs for the first time since 2023, stepping onto the red carpet at London's Royal Festival Hall amid the ongoing fallout from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest.As president of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts since 2010, Prince William's presence was expected. What wasn't expected was a shout from the crowd: “Your Royal Highnesses, is the monarchy in peril?” The couple did not respond and continued inside, coordinated in burgundy tones — a deliberate image strategy, according to fashion designer Juan Avellaneda, who said such appearances are carefully crafted to project unity and stability.But beneath the composure, tension may have been visible. William admitted he hadn't watchedHamnet because he was “not in a calm state.” Jennie Bond in the iPaper described the remark as anything but accidental, writing that the heir “is seething with anger — and he wants you to know it.” Body language expert Judi James suggested subtle signs of strain, pointing to a lack of touch and what she described as William's self-soothing gestures on the carpet.Behind the scenes, sources told the Daily Mail that William is frustrated the scandal could linger into his own reign, calling it “a mess left by Andrew and the late Queen.” Catherine, by contrast, has remained publicly silent. The couple are said to be deeply concerned about the toll on King Charles, who is reportedly exhausted.William did, however, strike a solemn note elsewhere — paying tribute to Corporal Lucy Wilde, the 25-year-old army medic found dead in her barracks earlier this month, calling her warmth and compassion “unmistakable.”For now, the Waleses appear determined to carry on. But as one commentator noted, business-as-usual is increasingly difficult when every word is filtered through the prism of the Andrew crisis.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

If that deeply unflattering photo of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was not bad enough, there are now more revelations about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The former prince is alleged to have spent taxpayer money on massages and faces questions over his use of RAF jets to meet with the sex offender.The wayward royal could even be removed from the line of succession under potential Government plans.Camilla and Tim ask if, amidst all the scandal, the Prince and Princess of Wales can keep the monarchy relevant, and if Labour's latest talking point is simply a dead cat strategy to distract from their own failings.Plus, Reform's “shadow” home secretary has pledged that his party will create a British version of ICE and slap visa bans on six countries if they get into government. But while Zia Yusuf also promised to protect churches and Christianity, Tim asks: is his message on immigration un-Christian?We want to hear from you!

SHOULD KING CHARLES ABDICATE? EPSTEIN, ANDREW, MANDELSON — MONARCHY UNDER SIEGE #KingCharles #Abdication #PrinceAndrew #Epstein #PeterMandelson #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV SHOULD KING CHARLES ABDICATE? I believe the time has come to ask the question the Establishment is desperate to shut down. King Charles III is a man under immense strain. He is visibly not recovering, not easing back, not growing stronger — and the relentless pressure of scandal, silence and institutional failure is bearing down on him. I believe that for the good of the Crown, abdication must now be on the table. This crisis has a name: Prince Andrew. His association with Jeffrey Epstein continues to rot the monarchy from the inside. The question is simple and unavoidable: why has Andrew still not gone to the United States to be formally questioned? What exactly is being protected — and who? And then there's the part Westminster really doesn't want discussed. While Andrew absorbs all the heat, Peter Mandelson — another man with documented Epstein links — was handed a top ambassadorial job. That wasn't an accident. That was a political decision taken by Keir Starmer — and it was a catastrophic misstep. So I'll say it plainly: Andrew should go to the United States and be questioned. Mandelson should go to the United States and be questioned. No hiding places. No double standards. If Starmer cannot or will not protect the monarchy from this level of damage, then he has no business lecturing anyone about standards in public life. The monarchy is entering dangerous territory — and I believe there is only one way to stabilise it. Prince William represents clarity, authority, and a line under years of scandal. This show doesn't whisper. It doesn't apologise. And it doesn't play palace games.

From clinging to a tree while evading capture, his face blackened with soot, to triumphantly sailing home to reclaim his crown — the story of Charles II is one of survival, spectacle, and transformation. Professor Suzannah Lipscomb guides us through the Restoration, tracing life in England from the shadow of civil war to the glittering courts of Restoration London, and discovers how intrigue, scandal, plague, and fire gave rise to an age of theatre, science, and unfettered pleasure. MORE:Nell Gwyn: Actress and Royal MistressListen on AppleListen on SpotifyIsaac Newton: The Man at the Centre of GravityListen on AppleListen on SpotifyPresented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.
