#1 Apparently even Mom is cutting Chuck loose. I read earlier this week William is being set up as the next king. There is a price to be paid even for royal British twits.

#2 He believed man's future could only be assured if people found ways of living as part of nature.

The aboriginals of the Brazilian or New Guinea jungles live as part of nature. I don't notice all these Greenies rushing to join them and renouncing the benefits of the long and somewhat chaotic advances of civilization.

#5 Charlie needs to spend his retirement in an Ashram in Washington State, smoking a lot of hash with Al Gore.

#6 Charlie can still be King if he does the following:
-Gets Camilla's teeth fixed,
-Tells her not to wear any more weeds in her hair,
-Gets rid of his Arab costumes,
-Starts flying with the rest of us peasants in coach,
-Performs due penance for his flakery by dressing in sackcloth and ashes and walking barefoot from Kensington Gardens to Bladon while dragging a cross; there to lie prostrate before the grave of Winston Churchill for forty days and forty nights while subsisting on unleavened bread and whatever rainwater he can squeeze from the aforementioned sackcloth.

Failing that, he isn't qualified and he should step aside for Wills when the time comes.

#8 It has been a long time, but does not Parliament have a something of a say in who ends up king or queen?

If so Charlie may yet have a chance.

#9 It's all well and good, Charlie, if you wanna live in a hobbit hole and plow your fields with a horse. I dunno what you're gonna do to keep warm. Is burning peat OK or are you gonna sleep with flea bitten dogs?

But the problem is if you didn't have a modern, mechanized, petrol burning military to watch your ass you'd be speaking Russian. You can't keep the bad guyz out with sticks and stones anymore because they have tanks and warplanes and they're not gonna give 'em up on account of global warming. And to maintain that military you need a modern, industrialized, petrol burning society.

You can turn out some of the excess neon lights and take a few less trips in your jet though.

#10 Is burning peat OK or are you gonna sleep with flea bitten dogs?

Wouldn't that be a flea bitten horse in Chuckles case? (See comment #3 above).

#11 Pragmatically, IMO QUEEN LIZ + PERHAPS CHARLES HIMSELF are seemingly putting the interests of the Nation ahead of linear succession.

* HRH KING CHARLES > setting up the potens for a line of older or geriatric Monarchs with short span of rule compared to LIZ + MOST OF HER PREDECESSORS.

#12 OTOH YEAR 2017 > 1990's MSM-Net to PRES >

To wit,

* Close to YEAR 2018 = SINO-RUSS "WAR AGZ THE US NOT ONLY POSSIBLE BUT DESIRED".
* "DAY AFTER TOMORROW" > IIRC Movie's time frame, in Year 2016 EARTH = GAIA goes unilaterally global berzerko on Humans.

versus

* YEAR 2017 > RUSS-DISCOVERED SPACE ROCK may come close enuff to endanger iff not strike Earth.

IOW, "2017" > "THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING, THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING"[movie], one way or another, unless NASA-JPL is hiding something bad about the Sun + "Alien Autopsy"???

On a separate NOte, ME > OLD DREAM/VISION = what I belabel GUAM'S "KAMALEN/CAMARIN EVENT" > a light space rock which Perts though had seemingly passed earth but returned to strike WESTPAC [symbolic of Nostradamus' CHIREN = JANUS = URANUS = SWORD OF HEAVEN ANDOR HELL. "KAMALEN/
CAMARIN" will occur long years before 2017.

OWG-NWO LESSON > ultimately, IFF ANY DESIRED OWG-NWO CAN'T WORK TOGETHER TO STOP A MINOR EVENT LIKE "KAMALEN", HOW IS SAME GOING TO STOP "BIGGIE" EVENTS E.G. THE SUN, OR COMET APOPHIS [2030 > Lunar explosions seen from future Guam-Earth], ETAL???
