Prince Edward to visit Jackson

Published Friday, May 16, 2008

JACKSON (AP) — Great Britain's Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, will be in Jackson May 22-23 to raise money for a mentoring program and to present medals to about 80 students.

Edward will meet with the inaugural Mississippi class of recipients in the Duke of Edinburgh Award program.

The mentoring program promotes community service, physical recreation and skill development.

Students from Oxford High, Lafayette High and Water Valley High schools will receive medals. Gov. Haley Barbour and his wife, Marsha, will join him for the presentation on May 23 at the Mississippi Museum of Art.

On May 22, a $1,000-per-couple evening fundraiser at a private Jackson residence will benefit the startup program in Mississippi.

The Duke of Edinburgh, eco-warrior expresses his love of life: "In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation," Philip told Deutsche Press Agentur in August 1988.

The Duke, whose sister Sophia married SS Colonel Christopher of Hesse-Cassel, was only allowed to invite to two friends to his 1947 wedding because of fear of the number of Nazis and Nazi sympathizers who might attend; indeed, his other three sisters married Nazis as well.

The Duke is environmentally friendly though. He and former SS Officer Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands co-founded the World Wildlife Fund.

It doesn't matter though, Americans don't read and anything royal must be good. If ex-presidents will consent to be knighted after the struggle of the American Revolution, why shouldn't the commoners also kneel?

EnKiKur, I think you underestimate many Americans. Just because they don't blog into infinity doesn't mean they aren't well aware of facts such as the ones you mention about Prince Phillip. The Duke of Windsor was also prepared to retake the throne he abdicated if Hitler occupied England. Is there anything you see as a saving grace in our country or our people? Sad, if you don't.

Then I wonder, Riffian, why people so blindly follow the initiatives formulated by foreigners whose stated agenda since the end of the Revolution is to regain dominance of America.

Accepting awards in honor of a promoter of genocide is just too far over the top for my taste.

The saving grace of America is the saving grace of all humanity, that common spirit that finds joy in life and pursues it in spite of the hardships.

Further, Riffian, I find it sad that you, who claim to know and to read the sorts of things I know, and you may well know, do not speak up in defense of the people who do not know. What do you find wrong in my trying to bring to the attention to the people the real goal of Sustainable Development and Agenda 21.

Agenda 21 and the people who represent its policies have a goal of reducing carbon emissions by 80% by 2050.

Another goal of the staunchest of these representatives is to reduce the population of the earth by 80%. Those two numbers may have a close relation in that if population is reduced by 80% carbon emissions will be reduced by 80%.

Al Gore is one of the staunch supporters who is heavily invested in developing companies that will exploit carbon reduction with a speculative bubble built around carbon emissions. Al Gore also called for an army of millions of children to police the planet in his book 'Earth in the Balance'. Do you, as an avid reader, recall any other political regimes with the same idea for building armies of children?

I think the presence of so many Nazis and Communists, people like Maurice Strong, Phillip who is called Duke, and Mikhail Gorbachev in the environmental movement is very telling.

There is quite a bit about the roots of the environmental movement and the demonstrable links to eugenics and genocide that would shock the people who don't know about it; thus I wish to inform them.

Who loves the people more, you or me?

EnKiKur......I quote, "thus I wish to inform them", to do this you must;

(1) Speak in their own fashion.

(2) Acknowledge the fact they have enough sense to interpret your side of the matter.

(3) Get off your high horse.

This is not a debate. Just practical logic.

Thank you for the suggestion and example destiny.

When I said American people don't read I was quoting John Dulles who used that line when he was told that if anyone read the Warren Commission Report no one would believe Oswald acted alone. I acknowledge it is an obscure reference.
