Authority Forgets a Dying Queen

One commentator has likened Squirrel Nutkin’s impertinent behaviour to that of the rebellious working-class of Potter’s own day, and another commentator has noted the tale’s similarities to pourquoi tales and folk tales in its explanations of Squirrel Nutkin’s short tail and characteristics of squirrel behaviour. 

Squirrel Nutkin, his brother Twinkleberry, and their many cousins sail to Owl Island on little rafts they have constructed of twigs. 

They offer resident owl Old Brown a gift and ask his permission to do their nut-collecting on Her Island. 

Nutkin, however, dances about impertinently singing a silly riddle. 

Old Brown pays no attention to Nutkin, but permits the squirrels to go about their work. 

Every day for six days, the squirrels offer gifts to Old Brown, and every day as well, Nutkin taunts the owl with another sing-song riddle. 

Eventually, Nutkin annoys Old Brown once too often. 

The Owl seizes Nutkin and tries to skin him alive. 

Nutkin escapes, but not without losing most of his tail. 

After this, he becomes furious when he is asked riddles.

Jack The Ripper was a 3 man gang - The Final Solution with Stephen Knight

BEWARE - gory and explicit documentary

Ignore the Wikipedia entry on this book which has been 'hacked', as usual when the elite are criticised, in an attempt to discredit Stephen Knight's excellent work. Stephen went on to write the brilliant 'The Brotherhood' one of the all time most incisive books on Freemasonry.

Joseph Sickert, aka Joseph Gorman, says that Albert Victor's mother, Princess Alexandra, introduced Walter Sickert to her son in the hope that Sickert would teach Albert Victor about art. Gorman claims that Albert Victor met one of Sickert's models, Annie Elizabeth Crook, a Catholic shop girl, at Sickert's studio at 15 Cleveland Street, London. They had an affair, he says, and married in a secret ceremony with Sickert and Annie's friend, Mary Jane Kelly, acting as witnesses. Gorman alleges that Albert Victor and Annie's daughter, Alice Margaret Crook, was born on 18 April 1885, and that Albert Victor settled Annie and Alice into an apartment in Cleveland Street. 

In April 1888, Gorman continues, Queen Victoria and the British Prime Minister Lord Salisbury discovered Albert Victor's secret. 

Gorman accuses Salisbury of ordering a raid on the apartment because he was afraid that public knowledge of a potential Catholic heir to the throne would result in a revolution. 

Gorman claims that Albert Victor was placed in the custody of his family, while Annie was placed in the custody of Sir William Gull, who certified her insane; she spent the next 30 years drifting in and out of institutions before dying in 1920.

Meanwhile, Gorman alleges, Kelly was looking after the daughter, Alice, both during and after the raid. Gorman asserts that at first Kelly was content to hide the child, but then she, along with her friends Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman and Elizabeth Stride, decided to blackmail the government. Gorman accuses Salisbury of conspiring with his fellow freemasons, including senior policemen in the London Metropolitan Police, to stop the scandal by staging the murders of the women. Gorman says Salisbury assigned the task to Gull, who lured the four women into a carriage individually where Gull murdered them with the assistance of coachman John Netley and Sir Robert Anderson, Assistant Commissioner of Scotland Yard. Gorman claims a fifth victim, Catherine Eddowes, was killed accidentally in a case of mistaken identity because she used the alias Mary Ann Kelly and was confused with Mary Jane Kelly. Gorman alleges that Netley tried to kill the young Alice twice but after the second unsuccessful attempt several witnesses chased Netley, who threw himself into the Thames and drowned. Gorman completes the story by saying that Alice lived well into old age, later becoming Walter Sickert's mistress, and that Alice and Walter Sickert are his parents

Who really was Jack the Ripper? Was he a solitary assassin lurking in the shadows of gaslit London? Or was Jack the Ripper three men: two killers and an accomplice? In this work the author investigates all aspects of this strange case shrouded in mystery and misconception. The discovery of the murders is described by the men who were there, and evidence reveals that the hitherto unsolved Ripper murders were in fact a culmination of a full-scale cover-up organized at the highest level of government.

Reading this, Sir William Gull makes for the perfect ripper psychologically. Not only was he a Physician (with extensive medical knowledge) but as a number of chilling recollections from his life prove, he was an avid supporter of vivisection and was capable of extreme acts of cruelty. Throw the spanner of 'Freemasonry', the espionage of a 'secret society' and the ominously convenient association of some of England's most powerful people to Sir William into the pot and you have a thrill a minute read.

Queen : In the history of symbols the importance of The Queen is not necessarily comparable to that of The King : she appears rather as a complementary term in dualities, rarely standing alone, at least in secular contexts. 

Her importance apparently stems from social conditions of the Occident, where women had only secondary status in the everyday world. 

In FAIRY TALES and legends, on the other hand, we often find female royalty from the supernatural realm, for example the Queen of The Fairies, or, negatively valued, The Queen of The Witches (called "Ia dama" and "Ia senora" in the Basque Country). 

These figures suggest that in older times, at least in nonsecular contexts, women were allowed more influence than in the Judeo-Christian era, although this fact does not constitute a historical justification for speaking of a "gynocratic" or "matriarchal" period in human history. 

In the context of psychology, Great Queens, when they appear in dreams for example, appear to symbolize "The Great Feminine Principle," or simply "The Mother."

INT  TRAIN

JOE

All I want to know is what son of a bitch shot him is all.

Was it one of those John-Bulls?

BOB

Oh no, sir. I believe the would-be assassin to be of  French ancestry,

or so it would seem. I don't wish to give offense when I observe that 

the French are known to be a race of as-sassins, though they can't shoot 

worth a damn. Any Frenchmen in the present company are excluded, of course.

PASSENGER

Says here a fella by the name of Guiteau, G-U-I-T-

JOE

Sure as hell sounds like a John Bull to me

BOB

Well, Sir, again I don't wish to give offense when I suggest that this 

country should select a, uh, king or even a queen instead of a president. 

One isn't that quick to shoot a king or a queen. 

The majesty of royalty, you see.

JOE

Well, maybe you don't wish to give offense, Sir, but you are giving it pretty thick. This country don't need no Queens whatsoever, I reckon. As a matter of fact what I heard about Queens ---

THIRSTY

Shut up, Joe!

JOE

What's the hell's wrong with you, Thirsty, This dud son of a bitch--

THIRSTY

Might be that this dude here is English Bob. He's the one who works 

for the railroad shootin' Chinamen. Might be he's just waiting for some crazy 

cowboy to touch his pistol so he can shoot him down.

JOE

Is that a fact, mister? Are you English Bob?

BOB

(to BEAUCHAMP) Pheasants? 

(Beauchamp nods approval)  

Let's shoot some pheasants. Ten shots  at, let's say, a dollar a shot. 

I'll shoot for The Queen and you for.....well, whomever.

EXT DAY   TRAIN

We see the countryside roll by. All of a sudden a flock of pheasants come into view only to be shot

down by BOB.

BOB

Well, that's eight for me and one for you. 

That comes to seven of your American dollars.

JOE

Pretty damn good shooting for a John-Bull.

BOB

Well, no doubt your aim was affected by your grief over the injury to your president.

EXT DAY -- BIG WHISKEY

  BOB and BEAUCHAMP get off the train and climb aborad a carriage bound for Big Whiskey

You know, it's a savage country really. 

That's the second one they've shot in twenty years. 

It's uncivilized shooting  persons of substance.

(BOB waves at the women as he passes by and then, passing a group of Chinamen, makes a pistol with

his hand and mimes shooting at them...)

BOB
