F’King Oath! Swearing allegiance to accused rapist

Screenshot from Fox News video

Australia needs to formally cleanse and quarantine itself from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as a prince and to whom we still swear allegiance despite him being internationally regarded a rapist.

Not so much tugging the forelock; rather the pubic hair.

Have we no shame? Why are we so enslaved to a scandal-riven monarchy and indeed a King who has been proven to have caused Australia malicious political harm, interference and mischief in collaboration with his beloved Mummy and her lickspittle minions to bring down the Whitlam Labor Government by slyly (as we now know) flattering and grooming the self aggrandising Governor-General of the day, Sir John Kerr.

It was a Palace coup; exquisitely executed.

Australia and the rest of the Commonwealth countries owe investigative historian Jenny Hocking a great deal, including national self-respect for waging a successful take-no-prisoners legal war on both the Palace and Australia’s own National Archives. It’s a topic that The AIM Network has covered extensively.

Not so much tugging the forelock: more like pubic hair

We can start the process immediately if we recall our lazy parliament, by dumping or rewriting the oath/affirmation of allegiance that our defence personnel and parliamentarians swear to the heirs and successors of our King and Commander-in-Chief, Charles III albeit via his proxy in Australia, Governor-General Sam Mostyn.

F’King oath. We can dump the oath!

Why should our Defence Forces swear allegiance to a proven liar and alleged sex offender/paedophile? With utmost respect to all those who live, have lived – and died abiding by the swearing of the oath, it is time to review not only the Oath’s wording but our allegiance to a foreign monarchy who expediently rebranded their Germanic name and genealogical heritage to the more palatable ‘Windsor’ as in, yes, Windsor Castle.

The Oath is an anachronistic obscenity. Can we dump the Oath?

F’King oath we can!

We have been inadvertently dragooned through stealth by the Albanese Government despite national political protest and in the absence of due parliamentary process into maniacal President Donald Trump’s and Benjamin Netanyahu’s big dick war mongering in Iran.

Thus far, under the tenuous reign of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, Britain has resisted Trump’s attempt to bully and shame the UK in getting blood on its hands.

But of course, Australia has long avowed an unsworn oath of allegiance to Uncle Sam.

Nonetheless, Australian military personnel in the Middle East are positioned there having sworn the Oath of Allegiance to our King and his heirs – and one of his heirs is Andrew.

We really need to pretend we are grown ups about the Oath. We need to get this matter sorted.

And we need to get it sorted now. before our kids become cannon fodder for a demented President who has turned the (dis)United States into his personal fiefdom. His Administration is mired in corruption, croneyism and racketeering; his even more bloated ego in his second term, Making America Grate Again.

Is There a Judicial Case that by Swearing the Oath We Are Endorsing Andrew’s Crimes and Allegations he is a serial sex offender?

If we don’t, is there a judicial case that the Oath is a solemn endorsement of Andrew as heir to the throne and as such we may be deemed as supporting his criminal activities and the allegations he is a rapist and paedophile?

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, it must be said, in the past, has denied the sexual allegations despite having negotiated a multi-million dollar settlement in relation to those made by the late dual US/Australian citizen Virginia Guiffre, whose co-written memoir “Nobody’s Girl” documented her compelling side of this squalid story of how she was trafficked to Andrew by convicted predator Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

Commonwealth website still thinks Queen Elisabeth is the King

Last time I peeped, The Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations website has yet to catch up with the fact that we have a new Monarch. Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second is still cited as our monarch. Ouch! Here’s what’s on the books:

The Defence Regulation 2016-Schedule 1

”I, swear that I will well and truly serve Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Her Heirs and Successors according to law…”

Although Andrew was stripped of his titles and honorifics, he still remains eighth in the royal Line of Succession.

The stripping of such Titles should have been done in public and to his face. Andrew, ex-navy and Falklands hero should have been treated in the same way as any sailor being dishonourably discharged. After all, Andrew betrayed his country, his monarch, his fellow country people, and his defence forces siblings.

When it comes to the Monarchy, Justice needs not only to be done, it needs to be seen to be done.

Albo writes to Starmer. We can do better

In February, Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese wrote to his British counterpart, Sir Keir Starmer to confirm Australia would support Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s removal from monarchial succession.

Prime Minister, we can do better.

Rather than merely support the UK in relation to Andrew’s succession, we can lead the Commonwealth and abolish or rewrite the Oath of Allegiance whose daily utterance continues to confirm our servility to our Master, Commander.

Caligula Trumpus, Master Blaster of Universe sets world asunder

Meanwhile the Master Blaster of the Universe, President Donald John Caligula (‘little boot’) Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Trumpus has set our world asunder and there ain’t nobody who can do a damn thing about it, apparently.

President Caligula Trumpus, Political Arsonist

Trumpus sees himself as the saviour of the world. In reality, he is a political arsonist who clearly believes he owns the world.

After all, his Daddy’s middle name was Christ.

I‘m getting a bit dizzy.

What If Trump Decides to Seize Falklands, Regime Change?

What if Trump decided he wanted to buy The Falklands for Trump Inc or maybe just bomb them?

Or seek a regime change?

What if Trump decides to seize Tasmania?

He may wish to give Tassie as a gift to Melania, the surly girly second time First Lady.

What if Britain, NATO declared war on US?

What if Britain and NATO went to war against the US?

Would that mean therefore Australia would be at war?

There’s a precedent. Remember?

September 3, 1939 – Robert Menzies announces that Australia is at war with Germany

Let’s face it, our ‘special relationship’ with the US is nothing of the sort. It is a master-servant relationship based on mutual disrespect and expediency.

We have post colonial, monarchial and nostalgic ties with Britain.

And yet with no such filial obligation to America, time and again Australia has proven to be a needy and servile acolyte and has marched to the war beat of Uncle Sam’s drum, despatching and sacrificing the lives of tens of thousands of military personnel, materiel and support staff to a succession of arguably never ending wars, tragically many of them to little or no avail in making the world a better and safer place.

Think Korea, Vietnam, the ‘first’ Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan, amongst others.

Madness, badness of Trump puts world on war footing

Now the madness and badness of America’s King Donald has plunged the world entire onto a war footing as he and Netanyahu continue on their unbridled and illegal war on Iran; Trump openly mocking Australia for its hesitancy to get involved in the internationally escalating Strait of Hormuz debacle, even though our government is depriving Ukraine of the E-7A Wedgetail we sent the besieged and sidelined nation – sending it to the Gulf region, ostensibly to deploy long range reconnaissance to help secure Gulf airspace and to protect Australians and others based in the area.

Here, as everywhere on this day, Australian defence personnel will swear allegiance to the King and his heirs and successors.

Famous Aussie Rising Sun badge designed by Pom

It is no small irony that the original Australian Army’s famous Rising Sun badge itself was designed by a British army officer and Eton lad, Major General Sir Edward “Curly” Thomas Henry Hutton (later Lieutenant General) who actually was the Organiser/General Officer Commanding Australian Military Forces from 1902 to 1904 and led Australians in the Boer War.

Curly was clearly enamoured of his Australian wards and extolled their virtues in a number of almost homo erotic speeches and public lectures that received widespread publicity.

“The Australian is a born horseman. With his long, lean muscular thighs he is more at home on a horse than on his feet… Fine horsemen, hardy, self-reliant, and excellent marksmen, they are the beau ideal of Mounted Riflemen.”

Photo: Boer War Memorial. The extraordinary sculptures above by Louis Laumen on Canberra’s Anzac Parade are so realistic you can amost smell the sweat.

 

Photo: Australian War Memorial London. A photo of Trooper Claude Michael Leahy of Victoria. He was killed in action on 31 October 1917 and buried at Beersheba (AWM PO 1280 001).

As well as all those who fell during the Boer War, we must surely spare a thought and godless prayer for the carnage of tens of thousands of war horses who ultimately died at the whim of men.

By all accounts, Curly was a fine soldier and a military reformist who actually put in the hard yards. His personal military record was formidable and he also saw active service in the Zulu War of 1879, as well as in Egypt.

He was a powerful orator and leader, admired and criticised in equal measure.

(See: The History of the Rising Sun).

Despite his brilliance as a strategist and visionary reformer, he arguably failed to pick his parochial battles when it came to a number of run-ins with politicians, bureaucrats and other military personnel reluctant to modernise the military.

Whilst some claim Hutton designed the Rising Sun badge, others dispute this. Check out these snippets:

I understand we are now in the eighth incarnation of the Rising Sun badge. Pserhaps this is a portent, given that Andrew remains eighth in the line of succession.

The crown featured in today’s badge represents the Tudor Crown for Charles III and the shards represent bayonets.

As Prince, Andrew pilfered from public purse to line his own

Andrew’s pilfering from the public and Commonwealth purse to line his own bespoke pockets, is well documented and forensically investigated by the esteemed historian Andrew Lownie in his game changing blockbuster Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, that has now become a touchstone manual for other journalists, historians, politicians, various intelligence and police agencies, Commonwealth countries, members of the dysfunctional British Royal Family and other royal families and we of the Great Unwashed, myself among their number.

Like it or not, Andrew was our Prince and I still our heir, as things remain on this day he is still eligible to be our King. Preposterous. Repugnant. Who knows what can happen in this dystrumpian world.

Our flag’s Union Jack with the applique of the Southern Cross is further sullied with the stench of ecoli still oozing from the (incomplete) files of the notorious serial child sex abuser, psychopath, trafficker of children and young women sex slaves, the late celebrity financier Jeffrey Epstein and his now incarcerated partner in crime, Ghislaine Maxwell – and the sordid involvement and carpet baggery craved by the former Duke of York, Fergie.

Epstein’s and Maxwell’s sex trafficking of Virginia Guiffre whose suicide preceded the co-written book of her trafficking to then Prince Andrew, in her misnamed searing and heartbreaking courageous memoir Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice has proven to be an honest account, verified by thousands of released Epstein documents as well as testimonies from countless other victims whose names are hardly known. Guiffre did not survive. But her truth did.

Australia owes Virginia Guiffre; Investigate Andrew re Oz deals

Australia owes it to Guiffre, to at least rid the nation of swearing the royal oath to Andrew and to further investigate her allegations.

Further, we need to know what dealings Andrew had in Australia with our government and businesses/individuals during his ten year stint as Special Envoy, including the universities of Bond, Wollongong, RMIT and Murdoch.

Australia must investigate Andrew, Fergie’s business dealings in Oz

And if any dealings involved Epstein and his cabal either of a sexual and/or business nature; since there is evidence that shows the two aspects were so often entwined.

(All four universities have since dumped the disgraced former prince.)

Credible allegations of Andrew’s corrupt, fraudulent dealings

There are credible allegations of corrupt, fraudulent dealings and misrepresentations by the former Prince Andrew when he was a Special Envoy and representing Britain whilst also dealing with Commonwealth countries and allegations of his failing in his obligations to adhere to legal and other compliance, both at home and abroad.

Andrew Special Envoy for Andrew Inc

He was indeed a special envoy; a special envoy for Andrew Inc.

Whilst it is acknowledged that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested and released without charge, it must also be stated again that he has denied all wrong doing.

However, it is fair to say that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has proven to be a serial liar.

Britain/Australia should investigate Andrew/Epstein Oz dealings

Both Britain and Australia should immediately initiate an investigation into the former Prince and his dealings in Australia and with Australians as well as any involvement of convicted rapist, financial carpet bagger Jeffrey Epstein in such dealings.

Further, we need to know what dealings Sarah Ferguson had in Australia, to ensure that no improper dealings or representations took place. Neither I nor The AIMN are suggesting wrong doing, but Australia is entitled to an investigation and to be provided with proof there was no such wrong doing.

Epstein was not only a manipulative and sly benefactor to then Prince Andrew, but also to his then live in ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.

Needy greedy like-minded relationship: Andrew and Fergie’s

Theirs was a like-minded marriage/divorce contrived in seemingly needy, greedy extravagant self-serving venal pursuits from the get go; constantly and shamelessly lying to their British subjects and ultimately betraying the nation’s trust invested in the monarchy.

Andrew and Fergie worked as Gangsta Team

The couple worked as a feral royal gangsta team, cultivating and cannibalising influential contacts for money and more money. They literally sold out the monarchy in exchange for these monies; treasonous traitors both, you might say.

Therefore they also sold out the Commonwealth and that means they sold out Australia.

Ex Prince Andrew cuckolded Australia

We have been cuckolded by Andrew and Fergie and taken for the forelock-tugging fools we are for continuing to subjugate ourselves to our colonial masters and a monarchy that time and again has treated us with contempt.

Disturbing emails certainly infer the young princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were dangled before Epstein, like some warped promissory note. I read them as incentives; cockteasing Epstein, if you will.

Via Andrew, Epstein had direct access to royalty. And thus Britain itself. Epstein may as well have had the keys to the city of London and he certainly had the keys to Buckingham Palace and other royal castles.

Andrew had been given a very special role by his government, that of Special Representative of Trade and Investment, ultimately under the auspice of the Foreign Office. The latter of course, carries with it an intelligence component.

The notion that the Foreign Office itself was unaware of Epstein’s hold over Andrew and most if not all of the sordid and illegal abuse of minors and others, as well as the litany of shonky people Prince Andrew had dealings with, is preposterous.

Reuters photographer Phil Noble’s confronting, alarming and pitiless image (above) of the downfallen Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor captured the bloating fear and shocking realisation of a privileged human being who has brought himself undone and whose public shaming is of his own making. The photo is the modern equivalent of the medieval practice of putting the accused in the stocks in a public square.

Click here for a link to Reuters and Noble’s own account of how the extraordinary photo that will forever haunt the former prince, came about. If ever a picture told a thousand words…

By any measure Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor could be labelled by some a spy, a counterfeit spy, a double agent if you will, who betrayed his nation and the Commonweath and all those who placed their trust in him.

Call it treason. Call it corruption. Virginia Guiffre calls it rape, when she talked and wrote about being sex trafficked to Andrew and being kept as a sex slave and an enforced procurer for Epstein and his cabal.

Australia needs to assert what authority we have to also seek justice for Guiffre and the countless other girls and women as well as enlightening Australia to what extent did Andrew deal with Australian entities as Envoy?

And we need to turf Andrew and at least place sanctions on him and deny him entry under any kind of visa.

Would YOU die for Andrew? Really?

We can do it in a doddle in the first instance, simply by changing the words of the various Oaths of Allegiance and Affirmations we make when we enter parliament or join the defence forces, to our current colonial master, the King of England, Charles III to serve his heirs and successors. Or to put it another way, die for King and country. Or Andrew. Really?

F’King Oath! It is intolerable that we should swear allegiance to an alleged rapist who has been stripped of his royal titles by his own brother the King and whose parliament is baying for him to be removed from the line of succession, although this has been sidelined by the Starmer leadership fracas.

The former Prince Charles, along with his interfering Mummy has form as an interfering key actor in Australian politics, as whistleblower historian Jenny Hocking has proven with her successful but lonely and heroic legal fight against the Palace and our National Archives to gain access to correspondence between Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and her man in Canberra, Governor General Sir John Kerr proving their role in the controversial dismissal of the Whitlam Labor Government in 1976 and documented in her sensational expose, The Palace Letters.

Andrew’s a nasty piece of work

Andrew’s a nasty piece of work. And he has proved a liar.

It’s bad enough that we Australians are conjoined by a monarchial umbilical chord to a royal family that has little to do with Australia, appropriated by their ancestors under the falsehood of terra nullius, and whose ancestry is Germanic, Greek and Danish in origin; royal European refugees who like many refugees have Anglicised their family name to Windsor, sired by the famous castle rather than any genealogical dynasty.

Thus the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha morphed into the House of Windsor, until Queen Elizabeth had it changed to Mountbatten-Windsor.

Anti Germanic/Nazi sentiment were the driving force behind the name changes.

Then again, the family of Lord Louis Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India, who resided in England, Anglicised its name from Battenberg, on July 1st, 1917, again, because of anti German sentiment.

In fact the Battenberg line itself had died out in the early 14th Century, but revived centuries later in 1851 to facilitate a morganic marriage and enhance nobility aspirations.

The Lord Mountbatten, born at the famous Frogmore House, was the revered uncle of the Duke of Edinburgh on his mother’s side, the Princess Alice. The Duke’s family had been exiled from Greece and he married ‘up’ when he married his distant cousin, Lilibet.

It will surprise many to learn that Prince Philip did not become a British subject until February 28th 1947.

Whilst Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s intimate connection with the convicted rapist Jeffrey Epstein is self evident, the former prince continues to protest his own innocence.

Andrew not first Royal accused of paedophile: Andrew Lownie ‘Fingers’ Lord Louis Mountbatten

He is certainly not the first of his family to be associated with paedophilia.

For decades there has been loud rumour of Lord Louis Mountbatten’s sexual abuse of children.

In his earlier forensic investigation of The Mountbattens: Their Lives and Loves, published in 2019, Lownie, like Hocking an investigative historian, with a journalistic background, has never been content to swallow the swill of sanitised history.

Lownie, author of the blockbuster dossier, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York that bookended the searing personal and courageous memoir of Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex slave victim, dual American Australian citizen, Virginia Guiffre, who suicided just more than a year ago, both unquestionably responsible for tearing down the steel fortress and code of omerta that hitherto had protected then Prince Andrew, whom she alleged had raped her several times, the first when she was trafficked from the US to London by Epstein and Maxwell, specifically for that purpose when she was only 17.

Andrew born with a gob full of silver spoons

Ex Prince Andrew was born with a gob full of silver spoons. Like his nephew Prince Harry, Andrew was the traditional royal ‘spare’ in case his elder brother Charles accidentally swallowed a tampon and died on his long way to the British throne.

As I write, the British Government remains in an holding pattern when it comes to considering stripping Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from his position of eighth in the line of succession.

We don’t need to wait for the British Government.

Can we rid ourselves now of swearing an Oath of Allegiance to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor?

  1. I don’t believe he is included in any oath of allegiance now, he has been stripped of all titles. He is just a regular bloke, and a dodgy one at that, no better than your average pedophile

  2. Tess welldone
    I totally agree, Australia needs to break free from our past servitute to the so called great powers and become totally independant, as is happening right now we have a lot in common with Canada and Carney seems to know what he is doing, every time Trump makes a move to belittle Canada, Carney has checkmated him at least weeks before.
    I am closely follwing the betrayal of our ADF people, just like us Viet Vets.

  3. Proceed with Caution!

    America sought to banish British Royalty from their Constitutional arrangements but look how that turned out for them!

    Handy Andy and his Missus have been shown the door and will never again be invited to visit our shores.

    Charles is our Head of State and after listening to his speech to the American Congress, I am quite warming to Chuck.

    Best leave sleeping dogs lie!

  4. I posted this on the wrong essay!
    “..Oh, I thought this was to be about Randy Andy! Whatever; I will just confirm that I do not swear allegiance to the Monarchy or to anything else that emanates from that declining empire. I don’t recognise any Australian Constitutional or Federal document , historic or contemporary that binds Australians to the monarchy, their family members, Uncle Tom Cobbly and All. Period!! Australia is a sovereign independent nation and I am proud to swear my allegiance to this nation regardless of treaties or other sycophantic instruments that serve the interests of the few rather than the welfare of the many.
    So there – stick that in your Funck and Wagnall !!!…”

  5. Dearest Ken, you are such a loyal stalwart and I so appreciate your comments through the years.
    Because of your Vietnam and other military experience your opinion is important on this seemingly trivial matter that is symptomatic of a much greater malaise. Thank you for your service and your continuing service, including your citizen scientist valuable work and your community building activities and your relentless work for the welfare of Veterans and families. You are an inspiration to me and I have learned so much from your mentoring. Thanks Ken.

  6. Dear Terry, thanks for your comment and yes Charlie gave a good speech undertricky dystrumpian circumstances. It’s no secret I’m a Republican when it comes down to the British monarchy – in terms of Orstralia – really, it’s the notion that we still swear allegiance to the former Prince Andrew in the Oath of Allegiance.

  7. Go Mediocrates !!!
    Am not advocating we should abandon ties, allies and take harbour in any so called ” splendid isolation.’ But so often we are servants to other masters and this is partly due to ineffective leadership who fail to represent a national ‘ sense of self.’ Do you see any merit in this aspect, M ?

  8. Disturbing emails certainly infer the young princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were dangled before Epstein, like some warped promissory note. I read them as incentives; cockteasing Epstein, if you will.

    This is the first I’ve heard of that particular piece of scumminess, and somehow I find it even more disturbing than all the rest.
    We need to ditch the lot of them.

  9. The deep ancient unfounded superstition about “royalty” is now a sickening drag. There is no genetic hope that some royal wiil produce a superior child, able to rule, control, adjudge, be detached and balanced. Let us Louis, Nicholas and CharlesI them, as now we have Hanson…

  10. G’day Dear Leefe, sadly there are several such emails that have been released in the Epstein files. They’re online and easily accessed.
    And again, sadly, Fergie is not the only parent in the squalid Epstein files who has dangled their child before him and/or allowed them to come under his influence and patronage.

  11. So much said & written, so much more yet to be said & written about this dysfunctional tribe of pretenders, to the manner born, progeny of ancestral feudalists who plotted, murdered, engaged in fratricide, patricide, homicide, insurrection, execution, blood-letting for the sake of ascendancy and control of the crown, of castles, courtiers, mistresses, lands, of indwelling within unimaginable privilege… and yet, these scoundrels, blaggards, thieves and cheats somehow conjured the mystery that persists despite much evidence that tells another tale; the mysterious persistence of a widespread acceptance of who they are and what they stand for, and that they are somehow or other to be admired for who they are and what they stand for. Second only to the churches & religion in their endless pursuit of power over people and possessions of the order of King Midas, and still they endure, withstanding the scandals, the behaviours that indicate corruption, venality, weakness, pathetic natures, double-recessive genetic inheritances that confer insanity, the qualities of simpletons and cretins, the hiding behind rebrandings to shield their German ancestries.

    Where is the will to shut this theatre down, to banish these parasites to the back blocks of the English or Scottish moors? Far beyond time.

    This image, from today’s Guardian, sums the whole pathetic mess up in a single snap.
