The First Black President Bows, the First Black Lady Curtsies before the Racist RoyalsThe sight of any U.S. President literally bowing to British Royals should be enough to make any red-blooded American literally retch. The fact that the latest to do so is America’s first black President made yesterday’s exchange between Obama and the Queen of England even more sickening. Before meeting the Queen, and her infamously racist husband, Prince Philip, Obama announced that he “loves” her, and that “in the imagination of people throughout America” the queen stands for “decency” and “civility”. How disgustingly ironic that the first black President of the so called “free world” should refer to the most entrenched prejudiced, and elitist institution in Europe as an icon of “civility”! How repugnantly deplorable that the President should call “decent” a bloodline that has for centuries declared itself as God’s appointed rulers over half of the planet, killing, torturing, and maiming anyone who crosses it, in order to hold on to that mantle. Stories circulated too, regarding Obama practicing bowing, and brushing up on courtly etiquette ahead of the meeting. Royal protocol dictates that men do a neck bow, and women do a slight curtsy — though a handshake is considered acceptable as long as the Queen offers her hand first, Politico reported. When the President met the Queen in a room used to stage audiences with foreign dignitaries, Obama bowed his head and quietly said to her: “Thank you so much for having us” before turning to the Duke, bowing once more and adding: “It’s a wonderful honor.” Michelle Obama curtsied to the Queen; however, later on she was treasonously caught inappropriately putting her hands (OMG!!!) on the glorious Monarch. The London Telegraph even issued a report on how the move was “a departure from what is considered appropriate protocol when meeting the Queen.” Puhlease. Perhaps the most revealing part of the meeting, however, came from the mouth of Prince Philip. Just as predicted 30 minutes previously on the Alex Jones radio show, Philip could not contain his virulent xenophobia, even in front of the cameras and the press. In the small talk, the Queen and the Prince asked the President and his wife about their grueling schedule since arriving late on Tuesday evening. “The time lag,” said the Queen Then the President told the Royals: “I had breakfast with the Prime Minister; I had meetings with the Chinese, the Russians, and David Cameron… “And I’m proud to say I did not nod off in one of the meetings.” A guffawing Prince Philip then blurted out: “Can you tell the difference between them?” Apparently Barack Obama replied that he had no trouble telling them apart. Then Philip, with a wave of his hand, directed the Obamas to turn around for the camera, to which the president nervously replied “of course”. The Obamas and the Queen managed an astonishing set of uncomfortable false smiles, while Philip didn’t even bother attempting it. The four then joined other world leaders in sipping champagne and devouring canapés, including mini Cornish pasties, smoked quails’ eggs, foie gras and rolls of duck filled with melon. Watch video of the cringe inducing exchange on YouTube. Prince Philip has made so many racist remarks in public, that they literally fill an entire book, here is a sample: In 1984 he asked a Kenyan woman “You are a woman, aren’t you?”. In 1986 he told British students in China ”If you stay here much longer, you will go home with slitty eyes.” In 1998, during a tour of Papua New Guinea, he told another British student,”You managed not to get eaten then?” While on a tour of a company near Edinburgh, Scotland, he saw a poorly wired fuse box. “It looks as though it was put in by an Indian,” he remarked. During a small town visit in Scotland, in a brief conversation with a driving instructor, he asked, “How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them through the (road) test?” In a 2002 visit to Australia, Prince Philip asked an Aborigine, “Still throwing spears?” Also, he once told a group of deaf children standing near a Jamaican steel drum musician, “Deaf? If you are near there, no wonder you are deaf.” The list goes on and on. While the media often laugh the remarks off as “gaffes”, they take on a more serious nature when Philip’s background and the organizations he is involved with are more carefully examined. It is well documented that Prince Philip’s sister, Sophia, was married to Christopher of Hesse-Cassel, an SS colonel who named his eldest son Karl Adolf in Hitler’s honor. Indeed, all four of Philip’s sisters married high-ranking Nazis. The prospect of the former Nazis and Nazi sympathizers attending his 1947 wedding to the future Queen of England meant he was allowed to invite only two guests. Two years ago, more revelations of Philip’s Nazi links emerged in a book that featured never before published photographs of Philip aged 16 at the 1937 funeral of his elder sister Cecile, flanked by relatives in SS and Brownshirt uniforms. Another picture shows his youngest sister, Sophia, sitting opposite Hitler at the wedding of Hermann and Emmy Goering. Philip was forced to concede that his family found Hitler’s attempts to restore Germany’s power and prestige ‘attractive’ and admitted they had ‘inhibitions about the Jews’. Philip also helped start the World Wildlife Fund with former Nazi SS Officer Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, who is closely affiliated with the founders of the Bilderberg international power group. In the past, Philip has also attended the ultra secretive ritualistic meeting of elites at Bohemian Grove, where he “stole the show” with an “amusing but salty speech” in 1962, according to the Grove’s own literature (pictured below). Philip was also trained in the Hitler Youth. His belief in Nazi ideology is clear when one looks at what he has said on the subject of overpopulation. In the foreword to his 1986 book If I Were an Animal, Prince Philip wrote, “In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation.” Borrowing the idea from American scientists who pioneered the field in the 1930’s, the Nazis advanced the pseudo-science of eugenics and incorporated it into Adolf Hitler’s dream of the Aryan super-race. Bearing in mind Philip’s Nazi connections, his views on the subject of overpopulation are unsurprising, but shocking nonetheless. Just last year he reiterated these views, announcing that there are too many people in the world, and attacking large families in a television interview, despite the fact that Prince Philip himself has four children and eight grandchildren. His son, Charles, the next King of England, has continued such ideology as he tours the world in private jets lecturing about the impact of climate change and how too many people are killing the planet. The royals’ zeal to thin the population of undesirables has little to do with so-called “green credentials,” as is fatuously argued by the corporate media. As Alex Jones documents in his seminal documentary End Game, this mindset is endemic amongst the elite. Skip to the bottom of this article for a vast selection of similar quotations from Philip, all advocating culling the “surplus” human population. Racism within the Royal family is not restricted to Prince Philip, however. In early 2005 Philip’s grandson, Prince Harry, was forced to publicly apologize for donning full Nazi regalia including a badge of the German Wehrmacht and a swastika armband. Pictures of Harry wearing the uniform were taken at a friend’s birthday party in Wiltshire, which had the fancy dress theme “colonial and native”. Last year Harry was once again forced to issue an apology for referring to an Asian army colleague as “our little Paki friend” and joking with another that he “looks like a rag head”, an offensive term for an Arab. In the same week Harry’s father and Philip’s son, Prince Charles, caused another race row after it emerged that he had been calling an Asian friend by the nickname “Sooty”. In 2004 a rather disgusting story emerged in the U.S. media regarding Princess Michael of Kent, who is the wife of Queen Elizabeth’s first cousin. Princess Michael’s father, Baron Gunther von Reibnitz, was also exposed in the 1980s as a former Nazi party member and SS officer. The Princess reportedly turned to a table of black New Yorkers in a busy restaurant and chided them for being noisy, adding “You need to go back to the colonies.” When asked to explain her comments by one of the diners the Princess reportedly said “I didn’t say go back to the colonies, I said, Remember the colonies,” adding that “In the days of the colonies there were rules that were very good.” Just think about it. A German-born British aristocrat — whose father was in the Nazi SS — in the United States telling African Americans who have been here for centuries to “remember the colonies”? The LA Times noted. The late Queen mother was also said to be virulently racist by close aids, last year Edward Stourton, the presenter of the BBC’s flagship radio program Today, described her as “a ghastly old bigot”. According to others, the Queen mother referred to black people as “nig-nogs” or “blackamoors”, opposed all forms of immigration, and thought black Africans incapable of running their own countries. She backed white minority rule in Rhodesia and lamented that former apartheid leader P.W. Botha got bad press. The Queen mother also criticized Lord Mountbatten, viceroy of India, “for giving away the empire” and his wife because “her mother was half-Jewish”. Despite all of this the media consistently referred to her the as “nation’s favorite granny”. But it gets worse… Before the war began the Queen Mother was a supporter of making concessions to Hitler and the Nazis, a feeling shared by a large number of British aristocrats who admired the way Hitler was dealing with the Communists. For some 50 years royal documents were held in vaults at Windsor Castle that detailed the abdicated king Edward VIII’s relations with Hitler and the Nazis. They included captured German documents describing the Windsors’ meeting with Hitler in 1937 and plans to restore Edward, the Duke of Windsor to the throne if the Nazis won the war. Some of these documents still remain hidden from the public. While many have described the Edward VIII and his wife as known sympathizers of the Nazis and their policies, relatives of Wallis Simpson, the American woman whom Edward had an affair with, and the reason for his abdication, have suggested that in fact Edward was excommunicated by the rest of the royal family because he wasn’t friendly enough with the Nazis. Throughout the Twenties and Thirties, George V and George VI were steadfastly opposed to conflict with their ancestral fatherland. The modern royal family was founded in 1840 when Queen Victoria married Albert of Saxe-Coburg, a Germany duchy, creating The House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Such was the ill-feeling towards all things German during the First World War that in 1917 Victoria’s grandson King George V - an honorary Field Marshal in the German army - thought it prudent to renounce the German name and titles and adopt that of Windsor, the name of a small town in the home counties of England. Today many people in Britain suggest that all these facts are no long relevant because the royal family has very little power. This is a huge myth. The Queen is the head of state and as such she can simply replace the British government at any time she chooses, should she wish to do so. The royal family still owns vast swathes of land throughout Britain and the rest of the world, and the Queen still presides as head of state in Canada and Australia.
