The Baron's War



Historian Webster Tarpley talks about the fraud of Magna Carta


[Troi's office]

(Troi is mediating 
A Family dispute)

WORF: 
My Instructions 
were clear.

ALEXANDER: 
They were not!

WORF: 
Before he was allowed to Play
he was to place his soiled clothing 
in the garment reprocessor.

ALEXANDER: 
I was not!

TROI: 
I sense a touch of 
hostility here, gentlemen.

WORF: 
You were specifically told that.

ALEXANDER: 
You told me that yesterday
not today!

TROI: 
If I may suggest --

WORF: 
You know very well 
the same rules apply 
today that --

TROI: 
Please! Why not simply 
draw up a contract 
which clearly defines 
the duties of each family member.

ALEXANDER: 
You mean he tells me what 
he wants and I have to do it.

TROI: 
No, I mean you both agree 
to your responsibilities
And when you've done the things 
that you've agreed to do, then 
you've earned The Orivilege to do 
the things that you want to do. 

When he's cleaned his room, for instance, then 
perhaps he's earned a visit to The HoloDeck 
to fight his alien monsters.

WORF: 
You suggest bribery.

TROI: 
I suggest working out an equitable system 
with The Rules clearly spelled out --
For The Child and The Parent;

You must make a list of 
your responsibilities, too 

What would you 
like Your Father to 
promise, Alexander?

ALEXANDER: 
No yelling.

WORF: 
I Do -- (softer
I Do not Yell.

TROI: 
Well then you should have 
no Trouble with that part. 
Why not go back to your quarters 
and talk this thing over? 
Decide on which points each 
of you wants in The Contract.

WORF: 
Very well.

TROI: 
One day you'll learn to 
be glad Your Father cared 
enough about you 
to insist on rules --

It may be hard to imagine right now
but eventually, most children come 
to appreciate their parents.

(Worf and Alexander leave)

RIKER [OC]: 
Riker to Counsellor Troi --
Your Mother's just come aboard.

TROI: 
On the other hand....



LWAXANA [OC]: 
Deanna, my dear! 
It's Mother!


(Worf and Alexander enter, 
still discussing the contract)

ALEXANDER
I don't want to agree.

WORF
But you have to agree. That is 
what An Agreement is --

Counsellor Troi, excuse the intrusion, 
but we're having some difficulty 
drawing up our contract
Mrs. Troi --

ALEXANDER
He's not fair!

WORF
The boy is unreasonable.

LWAXANA
Well, of course he's 
unreasonable. He's a child. 
And such a child. You know, 
making little boys reasonable 
only gives them pimples.

TROI
Alexander, this is 
My Mother --

LWAXANA
Alexander! What a wonderful name. 
You know, I once knew a tall, handsome 
Warrior named Alexander
Oh, he utterly adored me. 
We went everywhere
simply everywhere
Have you been anywhere y --
Contract? What 'contract'?

TROI: (very self-satisfied)
Between Father and Son
A fair and balanced 
way to achieve a mutual 
sense of Order.

LWAXANA
Well, how ghastly for you. 
And you're doing this to your 
own child, Mister Woof?

TROI
Mother!

WORF
It is Worf, Madam.

LWAXANA:
 Contracts are usually between people 
who don't really trust one another --

A Child who is trusted becomes 
worthy of that trust.

TROI
Mother, will you kindly 
stay out of this?

LWAXANA: 
And if he does not perform his 
contractual duties, I assume 
he will be chastised?

WORF
He will be -- sanctioned, yes.

LWAXANA
And if you fail to perform your duties
what is The Child supposed 
to do about it?

TROI
Mother, will you please --

WORF:
I? Not perform my duty?!

LWAXANA
Alexander. Now Life's true gift is 
the capacity to enjoy enjoyment. 

Now, have I arrived too late, 
or can you still smile?

Bringing together the four surviving original Magna Carta manuscripts

Making history: On 2 February 2015, the British Library, Salisbury Cathedral and Lincoln Cathedral made history as the four original surviving Magna Carta manuscripts were brought together for the first time.

Watch this video to find out how and why this event to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the granting of Magna Carta came out. With huge thanks to our sponsor, the global law firm Linklaters, and to all our partners, for helping to make this once-in-a-lifetime event happen.

"Magna Carta is one of the foundational documents of The Rule of Law --
it established The Principle that no one, not even The King, is above The Law; 
that Principle is as important today as it was 800 years ago.


When people look at these documents they will be looking at the whole history of Liberty --
They will be very aware that actually there is no value that is more important to us than Freedom and The Protection of Justice, and so what this represents is not just a piece of narrative history, it's actually about Our Identity, about Who We Are... 
and I suspect, therefore, that everybody who sees The Document[s] together, will be inspired by the experience....."
