I hope this is clapping, but it looks like a potato so to be safe I've just put one.
Wow. What do you think about Klaus Schwab resigning from the WEF?
Who is "in line for the top job"?
Do you think that William is really on board with the WEF as KC and Harald (unwittigly) are? William seems to me to be very different from his father, possibly has changed his view on life since Catherine became ill? Charles and his younger son are very alike imo but not William.
I hated it when Chuck was described as "Grandfather of The Nation" after his twinkly-eyed earlier portrait was released. Didn't look twinkly-eyed to me.
Of course KC could act but he won't. However "enabling" is done, if it achieves the objective it's enabling. Silence, turning a blind eye, covering up, call it what you will but it's hidden and secretive, comes in many guises and can masquerade as compassion and family love.
Hello Cinny! Thank you, there's lots of lovely points and questions you've handed me!
What do
you think of Schwab's departure?
I caught only a small headline re his resignation the other day. I haven't read anything more about it. At the moment I'm focusing on a piece I'm writing that now has a deadline.
But I've also developed a sort of Sartrean La Nausee about WEF and all who are connected with it. I feel very profoundly sick in the moral department when I think about what's going on and what they're planning for us.
My first and only thought at seeing the headline was 'Oh, he must have been caught groping the staff...there's been a palace coup' sort of thing. I'll get round to reading about it though.
KC's in line - but not for Schwab's Gang boss/ringleader spot though. He would never make a good frontman. Schwab reminds me far too much of a slimey, cold, blubbery Blob fish for that Beloved and Glorious Leader of the Great Reset job! Chuck fits the role perfectly!
I like that you've put Harald down as 'unwittingly'. I'm sure you're right, the witless oik most likely can't grasp what WEF's about, but he'll go along for the ride if it gives him some status, power, ego strokes.... I mean, he did fall hook, line and sinker for the yachtgirl whom everyone else could see was an exceedingly wrong'un.
William's a smart chap. He seems to me that he chose what sort of man he'd be when he was quite young and it wasn't like his father. I don't see anything of his mother in him either. He rather made himself, a man in full possession of himself.
He's developed his Inscrutability Superpowers so he's not easy to read. He's doing just enough to gain credibility with the save-the-planet lot but isn't so close that they bump knees under the table sort of thing. He must know that to align with WEF and its diabolical plans would soon put a big dent in his popularity and Kingship. I mean, he does spend a lot of real, practical time with people who are very low income, he knows that there's no more money to be had out of at least half the population. But who knows?
When you have a much loved family member who's very ill, it does change your perspectives doesn't it? Suddenly you're faced with what's really, deeply important. From my POV, it's not wasting time in 'saving the planet' so that rich men can grow even richer.
Catherine's on the right track imho. Love. Get things right with and for our children, and you're naturally creating, growing a happier, more stable world that can't help but save itself.
(But then, I believe it's sheer arrogance and hubris to think we can control the planet. We need to stop over-consumption and waste imho, but then who's doing most of that?! How many of us have private jets....? Mansions, palaces? Buy endless clothes and status symbols?)
I can't help but sigh when I think of Charles. So much potential yet too much entitlement and introspection (14years in therapy? Who does that?). Too easily led or manipulated. The Red Chuck painting was very revealing. He's always been wrestling with demons and too ready to take on board the diabolical ideologies of others.
I caught the tail end of a docu about his schooling the other day. He developed almost a passion for acting and comedy, he was really quite good. I think he could have made a career of it (just like Edward's documentaries were actually very good). The RF, The Firm is all about acting the part. In another life Chuck could have played the twinkly-eyed grandfather in high value productions like Downton Abbey. But that's not his primary role in this life. Any cheap journo who tries to push that version of him is either paid PR or deluded, imo.
The other thing that struck me in the docu was that he was bullied incessantly at Gordonstoun. He dealt with it by never fighting back and just keeping quiet, almost playing possum under attack until the bullies got bored and found other things to do. It could well be that the Stoat & Ho's attacks evoke that same childhood coping/survival response in him. It's trauma-imprinted. He's not judiciously greyrocking or 'never complaining' per The Family imperative. He's blanked out, numbed, silenced, disempowered for the sake of his survival. If so, even as a mature adult, even as The King, the programme he learnt as a young boy insists that he just cannot fight back....he's psychologically disempowered. The stoat may have found this Achilles heel long ago and has been playing it for all it's worth ever since. He didn't suddenly develop the ability to be viciously nasty, manipulative and bullying to his family when the Ho slithered into his life.
It's just some thoughts, thank you for listening. But, really, what do I know? Anyway, that's my half-a-crown's worth!
PS I really like potatoes! A much maligned and in fact very nutritious vegetable. I enjoy them even more since I found out about the resistant starch thing

PPS In another life I could see myself as a Landlady, queening it over the quaint village pub, The Stoat and Ho...
