Magna Carta: The Ugly Truth

[@RomaTomassi]

I truly feel sorry for Fred Harrison. He tried so hard to explain to people in the simplest terms possible why they are slaves. And yet they still never got it. What a cruel joke it all must feel like for him. One day, Fred, your dream will be realized. One day people will awaken.

Magna Carta enshrined the notion of a ruling class. Kings are not born. They are human, and all humans should have equal rights, therefore his interpretation is the correct one. All humans should benefit the same amount from the rent of the land.

[@mrgunshow1959]

The majority of the time I feel like I'm been pissed on without the courtesy of calling it rain. We live in a world full of greed and with a desire to control mankind through the implementation of banking systems and taxation. Lets face it the majority of us are slaves to money, we cant live without it and we are encouraged to get ourselves into debt! I'd rather live in a world that I could live off my own hard work rather than contribute to someone else's wealth. The gap between rich and poor is too much; in recent events Kim Kardashian has been robbed £5.2m worth a jewellery which is headline news...I couldn't earn enough money before tax's to buy £5.2m worth of jewellery in 100 years yet there's people out there with enough of it to throw around frivolously while we are up to our eyes in debt!! Spread the wealth and stop trying to fck us over and kill us off!!!

"The right to estate" means the right to BUY land from someone else and having it protected from robbers(private or part of the state) rather than the right to have land given to you for free. The rights refer to the things other people are not allowed to do to you(Kill you,rob you,etc) rather than what other people own you(give you free stuff).

OK, I live in Thailand, no one who is not Thai can buy land. I also speak to my friends from China, who cannot own land, they can buy a house but it is still the government's land. Then you have my country that sells land and houses to the Chinese, Pakistani, Arabian, any country. Is it the same in Japan? Is it the same in any other country who has an idea of who owns that place? How can it be right that a country the size of China will not sell their land to the people, yet, a country the size of England will sell their land to that country. I love the Chinese, the Chinese are not a problem for me, but if you have a weak government who is in bed with the Saudi's this is what happens.

If we divide this by the number of Americans between the ages of 15-64(212,984,598 people) we get that the average American(including the unemployed) pays 16,451$ annually. Do you really think that people from the bottom 50% actually pay that much? *This comment is only about Federal taxes.

The whole point of this video is to explain how the system of strong central government that represents the people has been undermined by the feudal system of Lords and oligarchs. "Private property is a part of what humans have fought for since the dawn of time." Do you ever ask yourself who owns the land and property? The rich don't want their privilege to be taxed away, they prefer to steal your economic surplus.

"Private property is a part of what humans fought for since the dawn of time" Every hunter-gatherer in every hunter-gatherer tribe ever: What's this guy talking about?

[@Ask_a_Geoist]

Land value is what people pay to control territory -- in other words, to control other humans' existence. That value belongs to everyone equally as compensation for loss of the right to exist. If a legal system declares that some people (landlords) get it and others don't, that legal system is declaring that some people have a right to exist and others don't.

[@lindanowak7893]

⁠@@Ask_a_Geoistthis is bullshit. I used to pay rent. Then I bought a small apartment building. That makes me a business owner. Not someone who removes others’ right to exist.

What a totally bullshit interpretation. “The English are the only people in the world that will allow the king to be all powerful when he is to do good but tie his hands when he is to do evil.” -Voltaire The Magna Carta ensured the stability of the realm, it was a community of noblemen that wanted to brake down power and make it more regional than centralised around a king that taxed the hell out of everybody to go on crusades and foreign wars. Heck, the Magna Carta even enforced the rights of towns to elect their own mayors and observe their traditions. It cleansed the land of foreign mercenaries that terrorised the average man. It returned Welsh and Scottish prisoners back to their homelands. And in the 1225 version it ensured every Englishman regardless of rank, the right to a fair trail and a jury. There’s nothing wrong with the Magna Carta, it’s one of the very few instances in history where everything about it was positive.

Human rights and the rule of law along with nonviolence were the values accepted by the entire civilized world as part of Buddhist mind set called Bodhisattva that was adapted by all subsequent religion and philosophy. The British people whose human rights were trampled upon by the king, sought refuge in Bodhisattva for their liberation. The Magna Carta demanded that the king was subject to the law, but it took a long time (1688) when it was truly implemented, enabling the British change their fortune and that of the whole world.

The exact logic given for the Magna Carta being bad, could be used to justify it as a good thing, by simply placing the crown of tyranny on the king and the scepter of justice in the hand of the acting barons. Your logic does not stand alone and in alm situations, it is a double edged sword. Your logic could be used against King John, just as easily as against the acting barons, it would just depend on who is the tyrant and who is the champion of justice. You are simply claiming that the barons are the tyrants, operating in greed, whereas history claims King John as the tyrant. This entire history is speculation based on circumstantial evidence and biased claims, yes, but I still choose to believe the Magna Carta was a triumph of justice over an inconsiderate tyrant. Thank you for some good photography.

They hide tithings as taxes. Taxes is tithes

[@boxedproductions_4221]

i admire your research and i would love to check out your sources to compare with what ive found, you are obviously looking for truth however one slight issue i do have in-which maybe you could elaborate on. the barons did not lose their rights recieve rents, implimenting common law was far from a selfish act. like you said it was their "estate" not under common law but under lease from the king. they were all under a position of public office and therefore not fully protected by common law but needed to be. Judges were paid by the state to enforce the law, during and after the time of the barons wars however any feudal form of theocratic governance is anti-freedom which is why common law was included into Magna Carta. All it did was attempt to bring the king away from his “colour of law” and reinstate what had come before and nothing more. The barons, earls etc. Had always been in a precarious arrangement in the eyes of the common man, along with the king himself. Not sure about this “obsolete class”, the fact that these “armies” were organised because they were funded and equipped by the state. The fact they were rounded up by merit of them being good warriors implies they were professionally organised. You seem to be falling too short in your time frame here, because have you looked up the de-socialising and private enclosure after the civil war because thats when it really started. Can you post your sources please thanks for the video

Christopher Hartly Holte Maybe, but Fred is correct if you look at where we are today - monopoly in land and natural resources is the root of the inequality, poverty and environmental degradation that we have today, no?

[@Oscuros]

@@smartiepancake Under feudalism, most people had no right to any land at all and were peasants with absolutely no rights. Only a few people owned land, only nobles and the church. No one else had land, you are confused with what Henry the VIII did, when he took the Church lands, 30% of all the land back then, and sold it on to private individuals. It's an important stage in our later agrarian and then industrial development called "liberalisation of the land" that was still impossible at that time, because land was monopolised, and not by the state, there was no state yet in the definition of the term, but by the church and nobles, private individuals and institutions. Before that, because of feudalism, most people had no right to any land and were tied to the land. Look up what feudalism is and understand it properly. That is clearly a lot worse than now, where land ownership is available to anyone that has the money, unlike in feudalism. You need to find better excuses to not want to pay your dues for the roads, streetlights and everything else that you use that was not available back then either.

[@smartiepancake]

@@Oscuros If I look up feudalism and understand it properly do you promise to look up Georgism and understand it properly?

[@jonathandnicholson]

@@Oscuros No-one is saying we shouldn't pay taxes because of Magna Carta, but the document is venerated to an absurd degree. The demands of Magna Carta were already common law, legal convention and legal writ. Some of the demands of Magna Carta aren't even relevant to the civil war which brought it about. Basically, Magna Carta is both treasonous and unnecessary. There is a legacy of Magna Carta and that is shown in the English Civil War of the 17th Century as well as the US War of Independence (although, there are other causes of this), the US Constitution (specifically), the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the European Court of Human Rights, the EU Human Rights legislation and the various human rights organisations (generally).

On the other hand, circumstance in 1290 where a lot different than now, however, intend is what matter strategy is what is the best and most efficient method to achieve evolution, considering overpopulation. In 1290 there was a problem of overpopulation, ethics and understanding, today the analogies with the ancient Celts makes more sense than democracy; in other words, the old Celtic Breton Goths remain the best spiritual way to cohabitate. And whatever culture there existed from the Roman era and Greek philosophers becomes obsolete. Better say the collapse of the Roman Empire.

This is a misleading presentation. I agree with as you say from a Socialist point of view. What he don't say is that the Pope had control of the king and that was why people were charged unfair taxes to be given to Rome. That's what led to the king being forced to sign the Magna Carta And for a time like the Russian Revolution you could use as an example there was a short time in which there was liberty .But the Magna Carta broke the rules of the Pope which led to these unfair conditions that this guy talks about. The Magna Carta broke the rules of the Pope.The King was forced to once again oblige the Pope. They didn't have the English Civil War for nothing it was Parliaments right to have a say in how the country was run without the King being loyal to the Pope having the final say.When they had the Restoration of the Monarchy after Oliver Cromwell passed away both Kings Charles II and then after his death James II tried to run Britain again under the Pope. But then came William of Orange from Amsterdam who defeated James II and wrote the Bill Of Rights in 1689 and they based the American Republics Constitution on that But the Pope and the Private bankers kept trying to overrule the constitutions and they had success on the British Stock Exchange after the Battle Of Waterloo and after the American Civil War and creation of the Federal Reserve and eventually the EU etc. Brexit seems to be the most significant thing in modern history and people should understand that the EU is signing people over to Privatisation.

[@pierscadell7188]

Don't make me laugh! I haven't watched it yet, so second message to follow, but it looks as if 1215 to now didn't include the development of democracy? We need Magna Carta, our written constitution, and a non-legal (which is why it is so important) BINDING document in 2023, to facilitate the saving of the spirit as well as the letter of what a democracy is, and therefore to save the liberties, and therefore responsibilities that go hand in hand with this, of the individual.

[@DrWongburger]

I understand the argument made here and the dangers of a militant adminstrative class, regardless of time. However, I can't help feel the larger meaning surrounding the document is that is was indeed a check on the kingdom, and by proxy the national state. While the people living in any particular province may have very little sway over enforcing their rights against the tyranny of a sovereign, they do have much more control over issues pertaining to their immediate locale. I can't imagine a Baron of a disaffected populace will be Baron for very long. Either local revolt, organized criminality, losses of incomes, disdain of clergy and/or peers will follow no doubt. Or some combination. I think it's a very rudimentary document, and it is understandable that the authors didn't intend to champion enlightenment era ideals centuries before the enlightenment even began. All in good time afterall. As for the Virginians. Well considering how much territory the original charter included and how much territory Virginians intentionally ceded from it, their actions speak for themselves. Thomas Jefferson, and his vision for The United States that was eventually was rejected, called for a very natural approach to growth of the nation. One that models growth in nature, not that he knew it (mitosis). An empire of liberty, that exists in a perpetual state of peaceful division amongst itself, so as to preserve the ratio of population to government. It's sad that the Hamiltonian approach, one that was modeled after the very same British Empire the revolutionaries fought against, was eventually accepted. Thankfully Hamilton that smug bastard would not live to see it.

Your words about the magma carta as the dooming or negative turning point are almost the opposite of how I see it? Magna Carta did a terrific job sewing seeds of liberty. Protecting rights is cake compared to protecting true liberty. Regardless of whatever natural rights are or whatever, western societies are founded on principles of liberty (a limit on state power). And while Locke and TJ made poetry of this stuff by the revolutionary war, Magna Carta was liberty’s first real mic drop moment in recent history, that I can see? Def wasn’t a perfect doc overall! But lots of great moments to plant roots into privacy rights, private property rights, a completely independent judiciary, free and fair markets, and lots more. Anyway, just my two cents :) 🇺🇸❤️

Because of Article 61, the Pope annulled the 1215 Magna Carta which was his right because Bad King John had previously pledged England as a fief to the Holy See; so, as overlord, the Pope was legally entitled to do so and, also, morally obliged. Magna Carta had to be reïssued later with revisions. Catechism of the Catholic Church: 1882 Certain societies, such as the family and the state, correspond more directly to the nature of man; they are necessary to him. To promote the participation of the greatest number in the life of a society, the creation of voluntary associations and institutions must be encouraged "on both national and international levels, which relate to economic and social goals, to cultural and recreational activities, to sport, to various professions, and to political affairs." This "socialization" also expresses the natural tendency for human beings to associate with one another for the sake of attaining objectives that exceed individual capacities. It develops the qualities of the person, especially the sense of initiative and responsibility, and helps guarantee his rights. 1883 Socialization also presents dangers. Excessive intervention by the state can threaten personal freedom and initiative. The teaching of the Church has elaborated the principle of subsidiarity, according to which "a community of a higher order should not interfere in the internal life of a community of a lower order, depriving the latter of its functions, but rather should support it in case of need and help to co- ordinate its activity with the activities of the rest of society, always with a view to the common good." 1884 God has not willed to reserve to himself all exercise of power. He entrusts to every creature the functions it is capable of performing, according to the capacities of its own nature. This mode of governance ought to be followed in social life. The way God acts in governing the world, which bears witness to such great regard for human freedom, should inspire the wisdom of those who govern human communities. They should behave as ministers of divine providence. 1885 The principle of subsidiarity is opposed to all forms of collectivism. It sets limits for state intervention. It aims at harmonizing the relationships between individuals and societies. It tends toward the establishment of true international order. “Absolutism, whether intellectual or political, is the capital sin against the hierarchical method. Usurpation, by one of the terms in the system, of the liberties of the others.” -Don Colacho’s Aphorisms #1,701

It worked 5000 years ago in a little place called Mesopotamia, the king granted you a plot and your job was the show up at the seasonal harvest with barley so that everybody got to drink beer, today your sole remaining "Natural Right", not rights, is the right to a very private death under a bridge, or better yet post Covid 9/11, we will just inject your ass into an early grave, mission accomplished
