    This isn't a 'dark secret' it's historical fact how they maintained their wealth. Colonialism at its finest, and the sad fact is that so many stolen historical items they have will likely never be returned to their countries of origin, at least not in our lifetime.

      The dark secret is on 2:50 where you see a compass and square. These symbols represent secret society’s that are running everything in places of authority from dark places. They see themselves as separate then common folk. Like masters to slaves. This has always been about perception of the truth. Which we all are spirits having a physical experience. When we pass our spirit goes somewhere, heaven or hell.
      They work for dark entities that feed off pain. Like a parasite
      It’s sad that this worldy experience will be the closest to heaven they ever see.

      As a Mexican, I know that colonizers wiped out 95% of the populations of the Americas with their diseases generated by their living alongside livestock. There hadn't been horses in the Americas for 10,000 years, but the Europeans brought them, and along with them, disease that hadn't existed here.
      Then, when they were done wiping out my people, they stole people from the African countries, because they couldn't use the natives as slaves, because you know, they killed all of them. Its one of the greatest atrocities in human history, yet no one ever talks about it.

    I find it quite telling that when calculating the cost of the debt owed to other countries and their people Canada's, New Zealand's and Australia's Indigenous People were left out. There is no financial restitution that will account for genocide, but the value of the land stolen would help lift Aboriginal communities out of the traumatic and impoverished conditions they are now forced to live in. This is true for all people and countries subjugated by all-powerful colonizing countries historic and modern.

      Why are indigenous people in Canada more independent and still established than those in the USA? Because the simple historical fact that indigenous communities in Canada swore allegiance to the British monarch and were protected from many of the ambitions of the respective white settlers. A fact not true in the slave state of the United States. It’s no rainbow and daisies but a striking historical divergence.

Of course much of the trauma is shared but there are still striking differences. I was only pointing out that much of the problems westward looking white settlers faced was due to constitutional containment in Canada. The crown itself is a complicated entity existing both independently and also heavily constrained by national government.

    Ask the Irish if they felt they were saved from savage treatment by the British monarchy because of their white skin. For those of you not familiar with it, look up the terms "ginger pejorative". You can skip the people who were clueless in their youth, and think it comes from a TV series considering the history goes back well into the 1800s at the very least.
    There might be a reason that a "ginger" who married a mixed race girl (and the term his grandmother the queen used for her) might have decided to leave their royal prerogatives and immigrate to Canada.
    Also look up the chanting by soccer fans in Dublin after the Queen's death. " L1$$ie in a box" does not indicate a particular fondness for the royal family. The British refused to take any land out of sheep or wheat production during the Irish potato famine, starving 1 million to death and causing another 1 million to emigrate (or to be transported as not being sufficiently grateful to the British for this). That was a quarter of the population. In fact Charles Dickens comments about letting the poor die was in part based on the treatment of the Irish, although I doubt a poor Englishman starving to death in London would have appreciated the fine points on how they were treated differently.
    Of course Ireland was not the only country singled out for this kind of honor by the British monarchy. Just the one with the lightest skin color.

She also protected a suspicious son who proved to be a liar and a deviant. Not much there to respect. She was a cautious mouthpiece, saying what she knew, the people wanted to hear.

      Like my mom, an Evangelical, converter to Judaism, was a former Catholic, as we're part Italian and such.
      I think she has been Buddhist, and I'm not sure if anything else. She doesn't like to go over any evidence of that. Nor any evidence of debunking religion, but often pushes religion on me and others. I often tell her what's debunked, and my beliefs, to remind her it won't work on me, I'm educated.

As an Irish person that lives abroad and have many Brtis in our 'ex-pat' social circle I know this from experience. Don't get me wrong, they are among my best friends in the world but when you try telling them about their countries treatment and behaviour towards the Irish, Indians, Africans, Palestine, Caribbean, Cypriots etc etc etc they don't want to know. 'Get over it' and 'nothing to do with me' is the usual responses. That is why it will never change.

Not race, just geography, society and greed. Some countries have actually rejoined the commonwealth. Countries looking to join the commonwealth include South Sudan, Suriname, Burundi and the as yet unrecognized Somaliland.
    Hoping someone feels ashamed for the past is pretty petty. It's a shame Vice can't do balanced reporting. DW Africa an extremely balanced report on The Queen.

    To those saying, yes we knew about colonialism from school textbooks, we are taught that colonialism is a thing of the past, etc. 1700s were not that long ago. 3 human lifetimes, That's it. The damage colonialism and slavery has caused to indigenous people is beyond what we can even put a price on. And when you consider that the US and Great Britain derived so much of their wealth and power off the lives of slaves (in fact they could not have become near as rich or powerful without unpaid slave labor) (more so colonization in Britain) you have to consider how much slavery and inequality was baked into our "success" as a country. I get that slavery has been around since the beginning of civilization. But a lot descendants of former slaves in the US have not had the chance to "catch up" to their white counterparts. It's been LESS THAN 60 years since the civil rights movement was passed in the US. Let that sink in. That's less than a human lifetime that equality became the law in the States, Just because segregation (outright racism)was outlawed in 1968, that hasn't made racism go quietly. That's less than a human lifetime that we have even had equal rights in the US, compared to 300+ years of slavery, inequality, rape, murder of the enslaved!!We have a ways to go. This is why we will not just sweep Britain's and the US's dark history under the rug. We can say "it was a different time!" It was but it reaaally wasn't that long ago and POC are still feeling effects to this day.
    If you are threatened or feel defensive hearing this information, ask your self why you are so threatened? Why wouldn't you want to uplift a group that has been so beaten down? I understand that these truths are uncomfortable for people (particularly white people) when they realize the extent racism, slavery and colonialism contributed to our success as a nation today. It's hard to hear. But we cant turn a blind eye because we don't want to hear it. Educate yourself and become an ally for for REAL equality.

      Doing anything they must too get underneath. A bunch of people who love 🤑 money and grandure.
      For example a bunch of people who can't understand anything.
      And poses anything. After the practice is going. Then they start WETH. Resettling and then take one's identity. By recategorizing
      The same people. Driving a weg between them. Ireland narrowly averted. Those things.
      So did India. They fought politics
      They fought physically.

      Like so many other places.
      But Ireland is a little different than the rest. Indians who fought against England in India charged in to the British. And beat them. Just bye running millions and millions of Indians straight threw them.
      Ireland made some kinda ball of blazing 🔥 and on impact. 💥 Explosion s. The fire splash was worse than anything else I've ever seen
      They could not put the 🔥 fire out
      It looks like it burns it's Owen self out
      And left the Chard remains of the British troops. Then they fought politics.
      But they still have influence on it.
      I herd that they wanted to take the oldest castles in the UK.
      And that ierland is older and so are the 🏯 castle's. And then 🫴🏼 change the name and story to there's.

    Indian removal was the United States government policy of forced displacement of self-governing tribes of Native Americans from their ancestral homelands in the eastern United States to lands west of the Mississippi River - specifically, to a designated Indian Territory (roughly, present-day Oklahoma).[1][2][3] The Indian Removal Act, the key law which authorized the removal of Native tribes, was signed by Andrew Jackson in 1830. Although Jackson took a hard line on Indian removal, the law was enforced primarily during the Martin Van Buren administration. After the passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830, approximately 60,000 members of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations (including thousands of their black slaves) were forcibly removed from their ancestral homelands, with thousands dying during the Trail of Tears.

    There's a hell of a lot misleading info here. The majority of those holdings (including Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace and Hampton Court Palace) are owned by what's called the Crown Estate or 'The Crown'. The Crown and Crown Estate is not the monarchs' private wealth. The Crown Estate essentially doesn't actually belong to anyone (though you can say it 'belongs' to the monarch in name only and The Crown as the state). It is technically held in the monarchs name during their reign, which is then passed onto the next monarch. They can't manage it, sell it or profit of it - the revenues don't belong to the monarch. It's run by a separate independent body and the profits go to the UK treasury (ie tax), as well as some going to the Sovereign Grant (maintenance/operating costs of the properties etc). Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace and Hampton Court are all owned by The Crown as an entity, not privately by the reigning monarch. Kensington Palace and Hampton Court are run by a self-funding charity called Historic Royal Palaces and open to the public. Buckingham Palace is a working state building, to carry out the functions of the Head of State and is also the Head of State's official residence (ie they have a flat there). It is essentially like the White House, without the government operating there, just the Head of State instead.
    The monarchs' private asset property is the smaller Duchy of Lancaster, which a is a load of land and property holdings around the UK, worth about £650 million. They make an income on that and pay tax on it. There's also the Duchy of Cornwall which is passed on to the heir to the throne, which again they pay taxes on. Most of those property assets are just originally derived from centuries old land monarchy ownership in Great Britain - which you can argue about exploitation of Brits from centuries ago, but probably don't have much to do with the slave trade.
    I don't agree with the sealing of the royal wills, preventing the public from seeing what kind of assets have been passed on over centuries, but Crown assets like Kensington Palace or Hampton Court - which may at one time had some connection to profits from the slave trade - are essentially part of the British state/the nation and not privately owned by the monarch. I mean Hampton Court is just a historic building open to the public, the Royals don't have anything to do with it. It was built before the English/British monarchs (Elizabeth I and the Stuarts) who invested in the slave trade, though some of the later renovations under the Stuarts could have partially come from their slave holdings profits.
    Further, you do realise that the line of Stuarts - who created the Royal African Company - are a different family to the Windsors? They're very distantly related: ie multiple cousins removed. The Windsor's historic connection - to line of accession to the throne - came from a non-monarch Stuart who predated the two British monarchs' involved in the RAC (Charles II and James II). The RAC's assets were then spun off into a bunch of other private owners until the organisation became insolvent. I suspect you're very unlikely to see any private inherited wealth from Charles II and James II (Stuarts) to the replacement family Hanover, and now Windsor, line to the throne. You're also very confused if you think the British monarch is going to personally address an idea of 'reparations' for colonialism. The British Head of State is not allowed to be political. It's completely outside their remit or choice. If there ever were such a thing it would come from the UK government.
    Lastly, 'more and more former colonies' are NOT 'saying they want out of the Commonwealth'. It's the opposite, more countries are wanting to join, recently Gabon and Togo this year. You are confusing Commonwealth Realm status with The Commonwealth. Commonwealth Realms are certain specific independent sovereign countries - within the Commonwealth - that still have the British monarch as their titular Head of State. The ones that want to stop being Commonwealth Realms don't want to leave the Commonwealth, they simply want to move forward and become republics. Which is completely normal. What's surprising is they've chosen to stay Commonwealth Realms for so long.
    This is really bad journalism. Misleading and often devoid of genuine context and facts. And doesn't really get to a realistic idea as to how you would deal with the concept of 'reparations'. Which would be hugely complex, hard to actually quantify in any kind of factual meaningful audit to today, especially when it actually involves a lot more than one or two different royal families, from several centuries ago, who don't exist anymore. In fact, I suspect the deeper you actually try to properly financially audit something like slavery from 2-3 centuries ago, or colonialism, the harder it's going to reach any realistic resolution today.
    I think there are ways to do certain 'reparations' by richer nations, but this aint it.
