@kennenandersen Sadly, there is no longer a USA. The second constitution, entitled _US Inc,_ enacted in secret, in 1871 by Grant and *both* parties, (guilty as sin with no innocents involved!) opened the door to birth certificates, 1900, then the Fed, 1910. Worse, it opened the door to the sale of the land, goods and people, (97 million, at the time) in 1913, by Wilson and, again, both parties to a cartel of zionist bankers! The bankers *legally* converted the entire package into a Corporation! Goodbye Sovereignty and goodbye freedom. Under International Law, no business can name itself after a country, past or present, so the new owners of various properties, ie real estate, goods and slaves, entitled their business venture plain _United States_ without the _America_ part. Put in place, before the big sale, birth certificates for Bill of Sale of slaves and the Fed to control the vast wealth the slaves generate. Final irony? The Corporation pays taxes to the English Crown! Pure scunner.

A'reyt Bruce. Welcome back to England. I commented before that you would see not see me in a Rugby Union shirt. Two Scottish student team players, in their representative shirts took exception to my English Rugby League shirt in Flagstaff, Arizona, on Route 66. I stood my ground and finished my bottle of Samuel Smiths Yorkshire bitter that the bar sold. I did decide to leave when their seven foot native American pal took sides, not staying long enough to ask if he was a Muslim. I had seen too many cowboy films as a kid, where the outnumbered were scalped. Since you are over the border, I will take the chance to mention Catherine Warr channel showing the first Western film was made in Lancashire. You might also enjoy her video showing how the book War of the Worlds was about colonialism? I never was so keen on Jerusalem as an English anthem, as it seemed a relic of those times and I grew up among the dark satanic mills. Land of Hope and Glory seemed a better anthem and a more timeless song. Plus, I never felt the need to shout about England in the song. It is in English, that will do.

3:12 Random but, as im a big sensory seeker i spend a lot of time compared to most childless adults in parks... And not once have i ever seen a kid with a little jeep or lil tikes car or anythin at all similar to the kids cars shown here; like, i think USA parents overwhelmingly just dont take those things out to a park trip, even when theyre goin to a rly nice park Ive seen them at beaches and campgrounds, but just not parks. And now im sad that i dont see them more, it makes so much sense to bring to a park; esp moreso if its a park without a playground that is more open fields for sportsball games and other activities (no doubt some parents do do this (hehe, i said doodoo), but just sayin ive not seen it so it seems to me like a very rare occurrence; wud love to know of anywhere else its more common, even if USA too.

A new subscriber to your channel, this is my third vid of your's, so I decided to give my tuppence worth on a highly divisive issue. I like your cut, B, so thanks for uploading! Scotland was independent, when the _Acts of Union 1707_ contracts were signed and sealed. They are bilateral fiscal and political treaties and nothing more, although of great historical import. Article 18 states the contracts are _not_ being signed _in perpetuity,_ ergo, either party can walk away, whenever they please, without seeking agreement, never mind permission, from the other! Article 19 is the guarantee we remained and still are independent, contrary to Wastemonster's and Holeyrude's dishonest claims. Mind you, the bottom line is Holeyrude is the Scottish branch of Wastemonster that is operating unlawfully, in Scotland, as our _real_ Scottish govt sits on the opposition benches of Wastemonster! The English ruling classes set out to colonise us and they've done a damn good job of it. Few are aware, around the entire planet, that _every_ man, woman and child, in Scotland, are Sovereigns/Lieges, in their own right and are, in fact, the highest authority in the land. We are the living representation of the Scottish Crown! Ann, being queen of Scots, before taking the English Crown, was the last monarch, in the UKs, to swear the oath to uphold Scotland's _Claim of Right 1689._ None have, since, including Chic III, so none have _lawfully_ reigned over the Scots, having only sworn to uphold the Faith. Any legitimate Scottish govt is subject to our will, as it is _not_ Sovereign! Any monarch we invite to reign over us is also subject to our will. Both can be summarily dismissed, should such be our will, according to our _Scottish Constitutional Laws._ Think of them as being on zero hour contracts. Thankfully, we have organisations, here in Scotland, who are set on educating the people to laws and facts, so more folk become aware of their true status and rights. Unfortunately, this is rocking the political establishment, as they have a vested interest in keeping us ignorant of our past and Wastemonster's constant *Smoke and Mirrors Show,* and propaganda machinery is now coming up to speed. The United Kingdoms, _plural,_ not singular, as we're led to believe and a step towards colonising a nation, will do it's utmost to suppress the truth, but the genie is now well and truly out of the bottle. These organisations are non-party and non-political, more concerned with empowering the people and uncovering historical facts, via documents. They have been operational just a short while, considering the treaty is over three centuries old, one of the organisation being in existence for just over a year. Me, I don't get angry or frustrated at having to point out we do not seek what we already have, ie, independence. It affords me the opportunity to point out facts and to highlight how others have been lied to from the day they were born, unwittingly, in some cases, deliberate, in others. What some seek is to revoke the contract with England, as is our lawful right, but also to be able to vote on whether this is a course favoured by the majority of Sovereigns, first. Our Constitution guarantees we have the right to hold as many referenda as we wish as often as we wish on any subject we wish. Once the people of Scotland accept this inescapable fact we can finally get the matter of the union resolved one way or the other. Saor Alba. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

What would a quitclaim mean for other treaties where capture was the "bargaining" method? Could this aid a modern Scotland in an international court should they wish to be independent? Was the "original sin" the lack to be an objective third party by the capturing/offing people with ties & taking the country?

Hello Bruce; I am a subscriber and although I know the part at the beginning is meant in a funny way (and it does look funny) but there is so much hatred aimed at Muslims due to extremist groups who are not actually Muslim (though they say they are) and don't follow the Quran at all, it would be a great help if you used a picture of some actual Muslim people, maybe a picture of the Bedouin people. Would you consider it, if it ever comes up again on your channel? Great video otherwise. I love your history videos and share them with my daughter. We love how you say, "Meantime, let me tell you a story." Her father was a natural storyteller whose grandparents immigrated from Ireland. He would often say, "I have a story for you."

The relationship between Israil and Saudi is interesting. To me it looks like two brothers whom wanted to know who their real friends and enemies are. So they tell everyone thay hate each other. They can't stand each other. They would like to kill each other. (The really love and depend on each other) However, now everyone who hates one brothet will migrate to the other brother with their complaints. and. Visa versa. Also they can even get what's been denied them by a enemy through the other brother. Middle Eastern people have thousands and thousands of years of experience in politics. Their not easy to outsmart.

The FM, like his mentor and predecessor, along with many of his collegues, in the party, are also members in the ranks of the WEF! Same with DRoss and Answer. Wastemonster is absolutely riddled with them! Every PM, since Blair onwards, has been a _Young Global Leader_ under the guidance of Schwab, as have been most of their cabinets. Starmer, too. Don't take my word for it, as I actively encourage you to undertake your own research. Did it never occur to you to question why we've had no referenda, since Salmond last delivered in 2014? *Seven* elections with the same deal...return us to power and we'll hold a referendum! *Seven* manifesto pledges, but not one referendum delivered! Carrot and stick. I fell for it once, but never again. _Scottish Constitutional Law_ allows us to hold as _many_ referenda as we like! It's written into the _Acts of Union 1707,_ which England co-signed. We could revoke the union in a matter of just two weeks. Wastemonster knows this, Holeyrude knows this, but the WEF don't want that to happen, as we'd be too difficult to control and do you know why? Because _every_ Scot is a Sovereign. *We* are the highest authority in Scotland! Not the snp, not the monarchy and most certainly not the English govt in Wastemonster! This is why the FM and Alistair Jack were served with the _Stirling Directive,_ by *Salvo* on Tuesday just gone. Their cards have been marked...the English govt warned if they keep interfering in Scottish matters they will be dragged into the International Courts. The snp, well, nobody knows, for certain, but I suspect, as they have lawyers within their ranks, that if they, again, refuse to provide a referendum, after the next G.E, that they could very well face charges of treason! We are, after all, the living embodiment of the Scottish Crown. I assume this also escaped your notice?

We should have never left the old ways. Laws should always be written by the same people who must live by them. Ask our relatives in Ireland how oppressive laws are delt with. Law ? What law?

[@billyandrew]

We adopted, or at least our treacherous leaders did, the _legal_ view of the English, as opposed to the _lawful_ view we had, prior to the _Acts of Union 1707._

An interesting twist on a period in history that heralded the beginning of Muslim piracy that resulted in raiding parties that snatched and enslaved people from Cornwall , Ireland , Scotland and as far North as Iceland to be sold in the flesh markets of North Africa. A time in history that caused fisherman on the coastline of the Irish Sea to stay in port in fear of being snatched and enslaved for the rest of their lives. I find it very odd that a Scot should thank a people that enslaved his fellow Scots .

[@bhgardeners]

So this "king" who was captured, sold out the whole of Scotland, Man Woman and Child to "save his own skin", not quite in the image I have of Brave and Courageous Scottish Warriors, I hope that no one raised any statues to him?
