Hey guys for Complex News, I'm Natasha Martinez.
LeBron James may be basking in his glory of being an NBA playoff champ, but while speaking
recently on the latest episode of Road Trippin' with R.J & Channing podcast, he admitted that
if it wasn't for his mom helping him cheat the fourth grade, he would not have passed.
Joining fellow teammates Kyrie Irving and J.R. Smith, they each discussed their own
paths to get to their successful career's today.
With a little hesitation, LeBron revealed that he missed 82 o 181 school days in the
fourth grade at Harris Elementary in Akron, Ohio.
"Me and my mom went to school one day in the spring time, and my teacher was like,
'Your son applies himself so much when he's here, but he's never here.'
And my mom said, 'What can we do so my son doesn't fail?
I don't want my son to feel like he's a failure.'
My teacher at the time, she gave us a stack—and I wish the listeners could see the stack of
papers—she said, 'If your son can finish this stack of extra credit, we'll pass him."
In order to make sure her son passed the fourth grade, LeBron's mother Gloria took that foot
high stack of extra credit and according to him, they split the work, she did half and
he did half saying,
"We turned that sh*t in, and they passed me.
That's why my momma a G to this day."
The year after LeBron moved in with the family of his peewee football coach Frank Walker
and he never missed a single day of school.
He credits sports for helping him turn his life around and get him off the streets.
"Without sport, I would've been done.
Sports saved my life because the streets is so intriguing.
What people don't understand, it's so intriguing, you don't understand."

Vox Pop: Canada's team? - Duration: 1:30.
The question of the day is:
If the Prime Minister is a Habs fan, does that make the Montreal Canadiens 'Canada's Team' ?
...And the answer to that is no.
The capital is Ottawa's team!
Canada's team! Go Sens!
I'm going to have to go with Montreal obviously, but cheers!
No...
Not -- not in the slightest.
[Why not?]
Uh, because you know, Ottawa Senators, in Ottawa, the capital of Canada.
It's got to be Canada's team.
No.
Yes!
Everyone here should be wearing a Habs jersey, whether you agree with it or not.
No, just the popularity across the country makes it Canada's team.
No comment.
I think they already were Canada's team.
I'd have to oppose.
Judging by my sweater, I'm going to say Ottawa is still Canada's team.
I think definitely, 100%.
Totally disagree. Disagree.
Wherever you are, whoever's house you're in.
You're in Ottawa's house, it's the Ottawa Senators, for sure.
That's a good point, fair enough.
Go Habs Go, though.

UN Climate Scientist 'Carbon Dioxide Emissions Are Making The Earth Greener And More Fertile' - Duration: 5:52.
UN Climate Scientist 'Carbon Dioxide Emissions Are Making The Earth Greener And More Fertile'
Carbon dioxide emissions are making the Earth greener and more fertile, a United Nations
(UN) climate scientist has said.
In a paper for the Global Warming Policy Foundation, Dr Indur Goklany, who has previously represented
the United States on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), says that
the rising level of carbon dioxide in the Earth�s atmosphere �is currently net beneficial
for both humanity and the biosphere generally�.
The benefits are real, whereas the costs of warming are uncertain,� he adds.
�Carbon dioxide fertilises plants, and emissions from fossil fuels have already had a hugely
beneficial effect on crops, increasing yields by at least 10-15 per cent,� Dr Golkany
argues.
�This has not only been good for humankind but for the natural world too, because an
acre of land that is not used for crops is an acre of land that is left for nature.�
This image shows the change in leaf area across the globe from 1982-2015.

Increasing crops yields has helped reduce hunger and improved human well being, as well
as generating around $140 billion a year.
As well as crops, the �wild places of the Earth� have seen an improvement, becoming
greener in recent decades.
Dr Golkany attributes this to carbon dioxide, saying it can also increase their water-use
efficiency, thus making them more resistant to drought.
�Unlike the claims of future global warming disasters,� Dr Golkany says, �These benefits
are firmly established and are being felt now.
�Yet despite this the media overlook the good news and the public remain in the dark.
My report should begin to restore a little balance.�
Professor Myles Allen of the University of Oxford admitted there were some benefits from
increased levels of carbon dioxide, but nonetheless said Dr Golkany�s assertions had �Stalinist
overtones�.
He told the Sunday Times:
�� I worry about the Stalinist overtones of adding up the losses and benefits and deciding
humanity as a whole will benefit from global warming.
Drowning Bangladeshis might not be reassured by higher crop yields in Ukraine.�
However, in a foreword to the report, Professor Freeman Dyson, a world-renowned physicist,
said Dr Golkany�s conclusions show how �a whole generation of scientific experts is
blind to obvious facts�, adding that �the thinking of politicians and scientists about
controversial issues today is still tribal�.
I would also like to add the following from NASA's website:
From a quarter to half of Earth�s vegetated lands has shown significant greening over
the last 35 years largely due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, according to
a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change on April 25, [2016].
An international team of 32 authors from 24 institutions in eight countries led the effort,
which involved using satellite data from NASA�s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer and
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration�s Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer instruments
to help determine the leaf area index, or amount of leaf cover, over the planet�s
vegetated regions.
The greening represents an increase in leaves on plants and trees equivalent in area to
two times the continental United States.
Green leaves use energy from sunlight through photosynthesis to chemically combine carbon
dioxide drawn in from the air with water and nutrients tapped from the ground to produce
sugars, which are the main source of food, fiber and fuel for life on Earth.
Studies have shown that increased concentrations of carbon dioxide increase photosynthesis,
spurring plant growth.
However, carbon dioxide fertilization isn�t the only cause of increased plant growth�nitrogen,
land cover change and climate change by way of global temperature, precipitation and sunlight
changes all contribute to the greening effect.
To determine the extent of carbon dioxide�s contribution, researchers ran the data for
carbon dioxide and each of the other variables in isolation through several computer models
that mimic the plant growth observed in the satellite data.
Results showed that carbon dioxide fertilization explains 70 percent of the greening effect,
said co-author Ranga Myneni, a professor in the Department of Earth and Environment at
Boston University.
�The second most important driver is nitrogen, at 9 percent.
So we see what an outsized role CO2 plays
in this process.�

BBC Elegance and Decadence The Age of the Regency Episode 1 with Lucy Worsley - Duration: 59:00.
'Here's a question for you. When was Britain at its most elegant
'and most decadent,
'its most stylish and most radical?'
ORCHESTRAL DANCE MUSIC
'I'd argue for the decade of the Regency,
'between 1811 and 1820.
'It was a time when people could feel their world
'being totally transformed.'
It was one of those rare moments, a bit like the 1960s,
when there were really big changes in culture and society,
all coming together in a great burst of energy.
The Battle of Waterloo was won.
London was redesigned.
Turner and Constable were painting,
and the waltz was introduced.
In this series I'll be exploring this fabulous decade
through painting, writing, architecture, fashion.
And at the heart of the Regency is the puzzle that is George,
the naughty Prince Regent himself.
He loved garish excess,
yet he presided over an age of elegance.
'He only ever fought his wife, and never set foot on a battlefield,
'yet he beat Napoleon! People called him a fat old fool,
'so how did he end up giving his name to an era and a style
'that stand as the high point of British sophistication?'
There's a lot more to the Regency than just Mr Darcy, you know.
CANNONS BOOMING
TRUMPET PLAYING MARTIAL FANFARE
'My name is Lucy Worsley,
'and I'm a historian.'
'I have rather an exciting job as chief curator
'at Historic Royal Palaces.'
- Hello, Kew Palace people. - Hello. - Hello, hello, hello.
'Today I'm catching up with our new team at Kew Palace,
'and yes, they do wear these Regency outfits on duty.
'This place has close connections to the Prince Regent
'and his family.'
What do visitors know or think about George, the Prince Regent, then?
It's generally negative, I'd say.
This little girl came in. She said,
- "Sad, bad, mad and fat." - THEY LAUGH
'It's here that the Regency story begins.'
If you want to understand the colourful and flamboyant age
of the Regency, then, you need to look at the Prince Regent himself.
George really set the tone of the age,
and he was a notoriously extravagant character.
George was hugely self-indulgent.
He had a limitless appetite for food, clothes,
shopping and women.
Now, I think this was in response to his childhood,
which was very simple, very frugal,
and he spent it partly here at Kew Palace.
# Shall I tell you about my life?
# They say I'm a man of the world...
'The current furnishings reflect the tastes of George's modest parents,
'for whom this house was a favourite residence.'
# I've seen lots of pretty girls #
'Little George's father, King George III,
'preferred plain boiled eggs to lavish banquets,
'and he tried to drum the same sense of moderation
'into his eldest son.'
This is a set of tiny little stays. It's like a corset for a baby.
And George was put into these so he would grow up
with a straight figure.
His father knew that fatness ran in the family,
and he wanted George to grow up healthy and strong.
It was part of the discipline of the nursery.
George had a restricted diet. There were days without meat.
Sometimes George was served a fruit tart,
but he was only allowed to eat the boring fruit in the middle,
not the tasty crust around the edge.
Even George's games had an educational purpose.
You see this jigsaw, made for him to play with?
At the same time, he was supposed to learn the geography of Ireland.
He had a very strict timetable of lessons.
They went on till 8:00 or 8:30 in the evening,
and although he was quite clever, his great problem was laziness,
and his tutors tried to beat it out of him
using a long and snaky whip.
But this harsh regime had the opposite effect
of what was intended. George just grew increasingly wayward
and resentful. By the time he was 15,
one of his tutors said one of two things might happen -
either he would become "the most polished gentleman",
or he'd become "the most accomplished blackguard in Europe".
As soon as he could escape his controlling parents,
the young George went wild.
There were numerous discarded mistresses.
George wasn't above using the threat of suicide
to get a girl to give in to his demands.
There was even an illegal marriage to a Mrs Fitzherbert -
a Catholic, no less.
The prince set up home and a rival court at Carlton House,
but he ran up debts of over half a million pounds.
In order to pay them off, he agreed to marry Caroline of Brunswick.
They hated each other.
George was revolted by her very relaxed attitude to personal hygiene
and Caroline eventually won herself a racy reputation
that rivalled her husband's.
On the top floor at Kew Palace are the rooms
that once belonged to George's younger sisters.
They've been left untouched since the time of the Regency.
George's brothers escaped, into the army and into the arms of mistresses.
But his sisters were kept close to their father.
'This is the bedroom of the youngest, Princess Amelia.'
The medieval fireplace is a typical choice
for a girl who was fond of fantasy and fairies.
Amelia was the favourite of her father, George III.
'Like him, she'd had long battles with illness -
'in her case, tuberculosis.
'In a bizarre way, it was this sickly girl
'who was responsible for the birth of the Regency.'
In November 1810, poor Princess Amelia died,
and this was a terrible blow to her father, George III.
For many years he'd been suffering from these recurrent bouts
of what his contemporaries thought of as madness.
Today we know it was the physical illness, porphyria.
And his grief at Amelia's death sent him over the edge.
The next day he had to be restrained in his straitjacket.
So Parliament passed a bill appointing his son George,
Prince of Wales, as Prince Regent, or acting king,
on his father's behalf.
George was sworn in as regent on the 6th of February 1811,
and the Regency officially began.
Although the term "Regency" is often used to cover the period
from the late 18th century right up to the Victorians,
George's actual regency lasted just nine years,
from 1811 to 1820.
As regent, George was not quite a king.
'There was no coronation, and his office would disappear
'the moment his father recovered. As for George's personal life,
'it would have been tragic if it wasn't so funny.'
'People called him "the Grand Entertainment".'
George had the misfortune to live through the golden age
of British satirical caricatures.
Practically as events unfolded, artists sketched them,
made cheap prints, and these images went viral.
He was brilliant fodder for artists like Gillray and Cruikshank,
because of his weight, because of his difficult wife,
and because of his endless procession of matronly mistresses.
During the Regency, you could catch up on the Prince Regent's latest antics
just by looking in a print-shop window.
'Sometimes George even bribed cartoonists
'not to publish images that he found particularly hurtful.'
This one's pretty straightforward.
The Prince of Wales is shown as a whale,
and he appears to have seduced this mermaid. They're exchanging glances.
Being regent must have been like wearing a "kick me" sign.
The real king was still alive,
meaning George lacked the full props and dignity of monarchy.
There's no crown in these caricatures.
A red field marshal's jacket identifies George
as the pratfalling fat man.
This is the scene outside the prince's mansion,
Carlton House, just after the huge party he held in 1811
to commemorate the start of the Regency.
Afterwards the grounds were opened up,
and it's said that 30,000 people turned up and tried to get in.
There was such a crush that one lady broke her leg.
Here's a lady being trampled upon,
and some other ladies accidentally lost their clothes.
Here we've got a group of ordinary people
who did make it inside Carlton House,
and they've been confronted with the prince's amazing dining table,
laid out for the feast with this dinner service
that cost £60,000.
This character is saying, "Oh, Sue,
I don't think I'd like that dry champagne,
but if I could have a bit of beer in that there gilded gold thing,
that would be dreadfully nice indeed."
But there was another side to George.
Inside Carlton House, he was building up an immense hoard
of art and furnishings, a collection that I believe
was the great passion of his life.
'Carlton House no longer exists,
'and its treasures are long dispersed,
'but in the Queen's Gallery, part of his collection has been reunited
'for an exhibition.'
It gives us an idea of what those revellers
at the Carlton House fete might have seen.
'Kathryn Jones, a curator at the Royal Collection,
'showed me some of George's treasures.'
These are some of my favourite objects.
They're designed for cooling wine glasses,
so they would have been filled with ice,
and you could rinse your glass between different wines.
- That's brilliant! I need one. - They're fantastic.
Sadly they've fallen out of fashion. If I put my gloves on,
- I can show you the salt-cellar. It's in the form of a... - A merman.
..a mer-man carrying a shell, and if you take out the spoon,
that's also in the shape of a shell,
and then at the end you have Neptune's trident,
- so very appropriate for sea salt. - Would these pieces have been used
at the giant party at Carlton House
- to celebrate the start of the Regency? - That's right.
The first delivery was made in 1811, and all these pieces
would have been used at that amazing dinner.
So it was an extraordinary service,
and it's still used by the queen today.
That's brilliant. It looks gold, but it isn't, is it?
No, that's right. It's silver gilt, and some of the pieces,
when they first came into the collection, were plain silver,
and gradually during the Regency more and more pieces were gilded,
and I think this was partly an aesthetic thing.
There were so many disparate elements,
he wanted to join them together.
But it's also in direct rivalry with Napoleon.
Funnily enough, at Napoleon's imperial court across the Channel,
the emperor had just bought a silver-gilt dining service.
George was setting himself up as a rival ruler and connoisseur.
He was waging his own personal war through interior decoration.
Carlton House was filled with 18th-century Sevres porcelain.
This was another "up yours" to Boney -
the firm who made it had been owned by the fallen French royal family.
George also collected paintings of the court at Versailles,
and portraits of Cardinal Richelieu, and also of Louis XIII.
'But his taste wasn't just restricted to this French bling.'
So, tell me about this one.
This is really the jewel in George IV's collection.
It's obviously a Rembrandt.
It's known as The Shipbuilder And His Wife,
and it was the most expensive painting George ever bought.
It cost 5,000 guineas in 1811.
Do we know where this would have been in Carlton House?
Yes, we do. We have a visual record of it, in fact.
It's in one of the watercolours of 1816 of the Blue Velvet Room,
and he displayed it with specific Sevres vases of this blue colour.
Do you think this taste for Dutch paintings
meant that he was a man who genuinely loved art?
- Cos they're not showy, are they? - No. It's not really what you expect,
and to have something like this in his collection
shows that this was the pinnacle of things that were on the market at that time.
'The Regency was an age in which art and culture mattered,
'and this agenda was set by the man at the top.
'But there was a practical side to being an art-loving royal patron.
'In your portraits, you could spin an image
'to counterbalance those cruel caricaturists,
'and George's chief flatterer
'was one of the greatest English portraitists,
'Thomas Lawrence.'
When Lawrence painted George in his red field marshal's uniform,
critics sneered at the way the painter
had transformed an overweight, balding 50-something
into a well fleshed Adonis.
Jonathan Yeo paints the rich and powerful
of the 21st century.
'I showed him one of Lawrence's unfinished portraits of George,
'to learn how the idealised images of the regent were created.'
I've always thought of this as a really flattering image.
- Is that how you see it? - Er, it is quite flattering.
It looks like it's been done for a coin or something like that.
He's facing this way, but the perspective is slightly skewed
and he's very side-on. If you cut that out and do it in profile,
that's one way of avoiding showing if someone's overweight.
You see this skin here? That's the whitest part of the skin.
Has he highlighted that because that's smooth,
and so these wrinkles are more sort of hidden
in the eye-socket and in the shadow there?
Ah, it's a flattering angle. It's sort of Hollywood lighting.
- Yeah. - All the Hollywood movie stars would look around
to find where the light was in front of you and above,
because it gets rid of wrinkles whichever angle it's coming from.
The hair looks quite artfully arranged.
- It's quite a contemporary look. - It looks like Justin Bieber.
It does a bit. The lips are very red,
- and it almost looks like he's wearing makeup in it. - He was known to. - Ah!
Nowadays we have photography. We know what people actually look like,
so people tend not to lean on you to make them look fantastic.
In those days, if the painter was the only person to record how you looked,
there was nothing to stop you rewriting history.
In fairness to the regent, looking like a leader was really important.
'As the Regency was getting started,
'Napoleon was at the height of his powers,
'and we'd been slogging away against France, our old enemy,
'almost continuously for a generation.'
We'd been fighting the French for the best part of 20 years,
and they were winning. The English Channel was just the thin blue line
protecting us from Boney's evil empire.
Napoleon basically controlled the whole of Europe,
through puppet governments, direct rule and favourable alliances,
and he'd set up a trade blockade against the British
that went all the way from Spain in the west
to Russia in the east.
A side effect of the war was that travel and trade with Europe
became impossibly restricted.
The heyday of the Grand Tour was long gone.
'Before, we'd looked up to French and Italian culture,
'but now it was out of bounds.'
So we couldn't trade with the continent,
and you couldn't visit it either,
unless you were going to take your chances as a soldier.
Instead we looked inwards, into our own little island,
to feed our imaginations.
Britain's enforced stay-cation was made tolerable, though,
by the cult of the picturesque.
It won legions of followers from the end of the 18th century.
Regency types could be found with their sketchbooks out
at every ruined abbey and beautiful vista.
Locals complained that England had become the country house of London.
Getting back to nature wasn't everybody's cup of tea.
This is a very amusing spoof of the picturesque
which came out in 1812. It's called The Tour Of Dr Syntax
In Search Of The Picturesque.
It was so popular, it went through five editions
in the first year.
Dr Syntax's adventures are told through verse
and beautiful illustrations by Thomas Rowlandson.
Syntax is a schoolmaster, and also a bit of a bore.
With his horse Grizzle, he endures many of the perils
facing the Regency picturesque-hunter.
The story is that Dr Syntax wants to make some extra money
in the summer holidays, so he decides to make a tour
of the Lake District, and write an illustrated book about it
to sell to armchair travellers. He thinks he can make a lot of money.
As he puts it, "I'll ride and write, and sketch and print,
And thus create a real mint."
"I'll prose it here, I'll verse it there,
And picturesque it ev'ry where."
In this picture, he's been sketching a ruined castle,
but he's slipped over and he's falling back into the lake,
and I think his horse is laughing at him.
He often seems to be being laughed at by animals.
In this one, he's been tied to a tree
by some highwaymen,
and he's having to be rescued by some ladies.
So it's just one disaster after another for Dr Syntax,
but he takes it all terribly seriously,
and in this picture he's telling everybody about his tour,
and everybody has fallen asleep,
except for one couple who are squeezing each other and having a good time.
Silly old Dr Syntax! What a twit.
The artists and amateur sketchers longing for the continent
found the flavour of Southern France and Italy
in one particular corner of England.
During the Napoleonic Wars,
British artists felt that the Southwest
was the next best thing to the Mediterranean.
Down here, they felt that the colours were warmer
and the light was more intense.
One man who certainly agreed was Joseph Mallord William Turner.
'In 1811, a firm of engravers commissioned him
'to paint a tour of the south coast,
'to feed the market for picturesque prints.
'So Turner spent that summer journeying around the Southwest.
'At Ivybridge in Devon,
'Turner captured a languid late-summer afternoon.'
We often think of him as a kind of early Impressionist,
but he also documented everyday life.
The Regency Turner liked his landscapes inhabited,
with lots of dirty detail.
His own coach would have changed its horses here at Ivybridge,
just like the one in the picture.
Here's the mail coach about to leave.
It's yellow. It's got the red wheels.
Everybody's getting on board.
But this figure here, he's going, "Wait for me!"
He's about to miss it. Now, was he an artist
who'd been sketching for too long,
or had he spent too long with this mysterious female figure
off in the woods? We just don't know.
Hang on! Wait for me!
This image, like the others from Turner's tour,
was eventually engraved, and filled up the libraries
of the Regency middle class.
'Using the original sketches and watercolour,
'Professor Sam Smiles took me through Turner's artistic process.'
Now, I can hardly believe that these scribbles here
resulted in that beautiful completed, finished work of art.
And that's because neither you nor I have his acute visual memory.
What Turner had managed to produce, over years of training,
was a graphic system, a way of drawing,
which allowed him to capture the essence of a scene
with marks that meant a lot to him, but to you and me, looking at them, perhaps meant considerably less.
I'm particularly struck by this Christmas tree.
It looks like a pictogram, yet here it is, a beautiful-looking thing.
Absolutely - things he observes that nobody else bothered to record.
I mean, the picture we're looking at looks like peaceful England,
an absolute idyll of tranquillity and relaxation.
But as he moved along the coastal strip,
he found the ports with Men of War in them,
marines and sailors, the army making preparations...
This was a country readying for war.
Even though Trafalgar was a few years in the past,
Napoleon still represented a major threat.
- There was still a real danger of invasion, wasn't there? - Absolutely.
'Forts like this one protecting Plymouth
'guarded many of the settlements that Turner visited in 1811.
'And the paintings that came out of his south-coast journeys
'are shot through with the sense of a country at war.'
At St Mawes in Cornwall,
Turner saw at first hand the effect of the war
on the pilchard industry. With the continent closed for trade,
much of the industry's market was inaccessible.
Instead, the pilchards are left to rot on the beach,
to be sold as manure.
Even this innocuous watercolour of the Dorset coast
has a sinister undertone.
Is it me, or does that wagon look a bit like a field gun?
'The landscape around Plymouth impressed Turner so much
'that he returned several times in the early years of the Regency.
'He thought that it hardly seemed to belong to this island.
'And a favourite location was the popular picnic spot
'of Mount Edgecombe.'
Turner did the sketch which this watercolour was based on
somewhere pretty near to here. You can recognise the River Tamar.
Here are a great load of ships from the navy.
We've still got ships down there, but the really special thing
he's shown us is this party of sailors,
who are going back at the end of a day's shore leave.
They've obviously had a great time. They've met up with some ladies.
This gentleman with the wooden leg is playing his violin,
and now they're going home, except for this couple,
who are going off into the woods to do who knows what.
So as well as giving us topography and landscape,
Turner's given us a record of an afternoon of enjoyment
200 years ago.
The sailors had every right to enjoy their afternoon off.
'For years they'd been fighting Napoleon,
'one of history's most formidable warriors.'
The same can't be said of the Prince Regent.
George had absolutely zero battlefield experience,
but he still thought of himself as Boney's opposite number.
For years, George had begged his father to be allowed to go and fight
without success. Now he was too old to be of any use,
apart from ceremonial duties.
If he couldn't face Boney in battle,
George could at least try to outdo him
with flashy military outfits. This regimental jacket of his
shows that he loved to look like a soldier,
if only an ornamental one.
George was helped by London's best tailors,
including Jonathan Meyer, who founded Meyer & Mortimer.
'200 years on, this firm is still going,
'and they're going to let me have a peek
'at their Regency account books.'
- Hi, Brian. - Hello, there. - Can I have a look at your ledger?
- Yes, of course. - Thank you.
- Here we are. - Thank you very much.
- There we go. - Beautiful!
This is a pretty extraordinary book,
and this page here lists all the items
which have been bought by the Prince of Wales,
and they just fit in with what you expect
of his extravagant, over-the-top character.
He is buying quite a lot of rich gold royal cord,
I imagine to decorate a uniform, something like that.
And here we have... He's bought 54 rich gold fringed tassels
to swing off things.
Over on this page... This is really interesting.
Here you can see clothes being altered
to suit his body-size and shape.
Here we have the altering of a yellow waistcoat,
"made higher in the neck and adding lace".
Now, that sounds to me like to disguise the double chins.
And here we've got "enlarging a regimental jacket in the breast".
It wouldn't do up! And this is a theme.
Throughout the accounts, things are being enlarged,
being lengthened, being made bigger, to fit his rather plump body.
As you flick through the pages,
what strikes you is the huge number of things
that George is buying. Clearly he's a shopaholic.
And when I say buying, he's not necessarily paying for them.
The debt mounts up.
It's £156 at the bottom of this page.
It's not paid off. It's carried forwards.
£300 over here.
Then, flicking through the book,
we get a grand total of £490 that he owes to the tailors.
That's a hefty tab - the best part of £30,000 in today's money.
I feel a bit sorry for Mr Meyer.
The prince liked to think of himself as a man of style,
a leader of military fashion.
But for civilian wear, he could be found squeezing himself
into the look set by his friend Beau Brummell...
..the famous dandy.
Brummell's opinion mattered so much
that once, when he criticised the cut of George's coat,
the poor old prince burst into tears.
Brummell is credited with inventing the suit,
and with it the dashing tailored look of the English gentleman.
'I wanted to know what it was about Brummell
'that made people spend several hours a day
'watching him get dressed.
'So I asked his biographer, Ian Kelly.'
I'm sorry, but to spend three hours a day preening yourself
- seems really effeminate to me. - How dare you?
Um, yeah. Well, in theory, the clothes are meant to express
a sort of uber-masculinity, a more stated masculinity.
To be "a dandy" was much nearer the modern American coinage
of being "a dude". It was about a new way
of being a British gentleman,
which was to do with reserve
and sang-froid, stiff upper lip, all that sort of thing.
Well, I don't care if it's supposed to be just for men,
because I want to experience a Brummell-type suit for myself.
I'm super-keen to channel a bit of butch Regency style.
So, it's supposed to make me feel cool and masculine?
Obviously, as a gentleman, I can't possibly watch a lady dress,
even if you're dressing as a man. I'll go practise with my canes.
You fiddle with your canes.
'For a Regency dandy, getting dressed was a performance art.
'But I'm pretty sure it's not going to take me half a day to get ready.'
- Dah-daah! - Hey!
I couldn't do myself up at the back. Can you give me a hand, valet?
- Let me be your man. - Thank you, Jeeves.
OK...
Now, tell me when you can't breathe any more,
- or don't. - Mm-hm. That's not too bad.
Tell me about these trousers that I'm wearing.
- These are rather interesting. - It's a footnote in the history of fashion,
but a rather important claim to fame of Brummell and the Regency.
Brummell is the man who invents trousers,
as gentlemen wore breeches and stockings before this period,
He imported these from the Hussars. You've got understraps to keep the trouser tight.
And these look like girls' shoes,
but they're Regency men's dancing pumps.
Yeah! They're a very butch item.
- What's next? Is it cravats? - It has to be the cravat.
This is the key item. Chin up! Very important.
A beautifully tied cravat was the most important part
of the dandy's uniform. It had to be scrupulously spotless.
Brummell sent his to the country to be washed,
so that his laundry wouldn't be tainted by London soot.
The trick is to keep it as tight and as high
as you can possibly bear,
so, when your face begins to turn blue,
then we know we've got it too tight.
But I'm relatively pleased and proud of that.
It's meant to look like a perfect cylinder of white. There we go.
We're allowed one declension, as it was known.
The valet places his finger here, and you lower your chin.
And that, in theory, stays in place
until we tie the next cravat or the next dressing.
SHE LAUGHS
It looks better than it feels. It's pretty uncomfortable.
On the positive note, though, you're obliged to hold yourself better.
Built-in hauteur. I feel like my nose is in the air.
That, too. It's one of the supposed origins
of "toff" and "toffee-nosed", because this obliges you
to keep your nose in the air, but especially if you're in any danger
of dribbling anything brown from snuff-taking,
- which is a pretty disgusting thought. - That's really disgusting.
So the toffee-nose is brown snot from snuff-taking,
and you've got to keep your nose up so it doesn't spoil your cravat.
So much for the age of elegance.
SONG: "Dandy" by the Kinks
# Dandy, Dandy
# Where you gonna go now?
# Who you gonna run to?
# All your little life
# You're chasing all the girls
# They can't resist your smile
# Oh, oh, they long for Dandy #
London's St James's was Dandy Central.
Previous generations of young men
had been able to explore Europe on a Grand Tour,
but gentlemen of leisure, in the early years of the Regency,
spent much of their lives within a quarter of a mile
of St James's Palace.
White's is a club where, it's said, people have died from exclusion,
and Brummell used to inspect the promenading dandies
from its bow window. A stone's throw away,
there was Gentleman Jackson's boxing gym,
where a bit of man-on-man action
could while away the long idle hours.
Brooks's, which counted the regent as a member,
was famous for its gambling, with fortunes won and lost
at its gaming tables.
And this rather forgettable modern building
stands on the site of the most exclusive night spot
in the whole of St James's.
Right here is the site of Almack's club.
This is the holy of holies. This is the most exclusive club
in Regency London. It's where Beau Brummell insisted
that men were dressed in a strict uniform
of white and black, or white and sometimes blue-black,
but certainly a strict monochrome.
There's an image here from a contemporary novel
of what it would have looked like in those days, a ball at Almack's.
They're having a dance, and unlike some of the other clubs,
at this one, the ladies were in charge.
Absolutely. It was a series of terrifying dragons,
royal and aristocratic ladies, who decided who was allowed in
and who wasn't, who was suitable for their daughters or not.
And, yes, there's a lot of cartoons and ditties
- on exactly that terrifying issue. - Aha! I know one.
If to Almack's you belong,
like a monarch, you can do no wrong.
But if you're expelled on a Wednesday night,
- by Jove, you can do nothing right! - HE CHUCKLES
'An evening's entertainment could be rounded off
'with a visit to one of the many brothels down the alleys
'just off St James's Street.'
But syphilis was rife,
and would eventually claim Brummell himself.
Syphilis manifests in all sorts of ways,
including a sort of bipolar disorder,
and Brummell gambles away all his money,
- and publicly insults the Prince of Wales. - He was rude to him?
Astonishingly, yeah. The Prince Regent turned up at a party,
appeared to ignore Beau Brummell, cut him, as they said in the Regency,
and Brummell turned to a mutual friend and said,
"So, Alvanley, who's your fat friend?"
- about the Prince Regent. - Meaning the Prince Regent? - Yeah!
And very soon, all the creditors were on his back.
He fled to France, spent the last 20 years of his life
in penury, eventually insane, and in an asylum.
It's a kind of a Greek arc of a story.
So the story of Beau Brummell is pride followed by a fall.
Well, the Victorians liked to think so, certainly.
Actually, I think it's tailoring followed by syphilis.
HE LAUGHS
'Brummell showed that access to the regent's circle
'could brutally be cut short. But those on the outside
'sometimes made the best of it, creating an alternative legacy
'of real value.'
At the very start of the Regency,
and just near here on Dulwich Common,
a dandy fell off his horse.
His name was Francis Bourgeois, and he was an owner of paintings -
no less than 370 paintings, and some very, very good ones, too.
A few weeks later he died of his injuries,
and his death set in motion a sequence of events
that would really change the British attitude to art -
not only how it was looked at,
but also who could see it.
'Bourgeois had considered leaving the collection
'to the British Museum, but he wasn't part of the regent's charmed circle,
'and he felt the museum was run by snobs.
In a final two fingers to the Establishment,
he left his collection to Dulwich College,
and the architect John Soane built a new picture gallery
especially to house it.
'Bourgeois' will insisted that his paintings be available
'"for the inspection of the public", which makes Dulwich Picture Gallery
'the first purpose-built public art gallery in Britain.'
The bulk of the paintings still on the wall,
including Rembrandts and Raphaels,
come from Bourgeois' bequest of 1811.
'To ensure the gallery's visitors don't forget his generosity,
'Bourgeois is actually buried in the building.
'He's in a mausoleum next to his business partner -
'some say partner in every sense - Noel Desenfans.'
It was difficult for them. People were slightly dismissive.
They thought Desenfans was pretentious,
and they thought Bourgeois was a fool,
which quite clearly he wasn't. He was a dandy, though,
and people laughed at him for his buckskins
and his polished boots and his hair, all modelled, of course,
on the Prince Regent.
'Ian Dejardin is the current director
'of Dulwich Picture Gallery.'
I love the whole idea that this place is a couple of outsiders
cocking a snook at the Establishment.
Well, I think that's what it was. I think it's what it was.
In Francis Bourgeois' will, there is just this little tiny snippet
of a phrase. He says that the paintings are to be on display
"for the inspection of the public".
And you read that, and you think, "Well, obviously."
But no-one had said that before.
This is a really big step forwards, that it's a public art gallery.
It's incredibly significant.
We're 13, 14 years before the National Gallery,
so we were it. We were the national gallery
for many years, really.
The government had long been under pressure
to establish a national public-art collection.
'Dulwich showed what could be done.
'The official National Gallery was founded in the 1820s,
'encouraged by the arts-loving George as King George IV.
'The columns on the portico were even recycled
'from his palace, Carlton House, after it was demolished.'
Another voice raised in support of the National Gallery
was that of Thomas Lawrence, George's one-man PR machine.
Lawrence knew very well how art could transform the life
of an ordinary boy. Painting had taken him from humble beginnings
to the very top of society.
His meteoric rise started while he was still a child
in the market town of Devizes.
A little town in Wiltshire might seem quite a surprising place
for a society portrait painter to grow up,
but Devizes was a key stopping point on Britain's busiest coach route
from London through to Bath.
So the whole of fashionable London came here.
If they wanted a meal or a bed for the night,
they stopped at this inn, which was run by the young painter's father,
Thomas Lawrence senior.
Picture the scene. It's the 1770s.
You've just arrived here at the Bear Inn.
You've got off a stagecoach. You're tired, you're hungry.
But the landlord, Thomas Lawrence senior,
as he offers you a drink,
he says, "Would you like to see my ten-year-old son reciting a poem
or taking your portrait?"
This may have sounded like a bit of a bore,
but if you chose the poem, the boy would leap up onto the table,
recite from Milton. That was pretty good,
but if you handed over your guinea for your portrait,
you'd have quickly realised that you were in the hands of a genius.
The actor David Garrick, who'd witnessed
both of the boy's party tricks, said he couldn't work out
whether the young Lawrence's future lay with the pencil
or the stage.
'In 2011, I visited the first exhibition
'of Lawrence's work in 30 years, at the National Portrait Gallery.
'He's long been a neglected artist,
'but in his own time, he was the world's top portrait painter.
'Lawrence produced THE visual record of the vanished world
'of Regency society.
'He particularly enjoyed painting wealthy and beautiful women,
'and the ladies enjoyed his attentions.
'Even the regent's matronly sister is shooting us a saucy look.'
There's a rather brilliant contemporary review
of this painting here, of Lady Selina Meade.
It just goes, "Ha, it's Lady Selina Meade, very tasty indeed."
Lawrence was clearly a very attractive, flirtatious,
smooth individual. One of his friends said
that if you got a letter from him saying, "Yes, I can come to dinner,"
it felt like you were getting a love letter.
This is Mrs Isabella Wolff. She became a sort of muse to him,
and he spent the best part of 15 years
finishing this portrait.
As well as producing an amazing painting together,
it's also said that they produced an illegitimate child.
There was an awful lot of gossip about what went on
at Lawrence's sittings. In 1806,
he was suspected of getting too friendly
with Caroline, the Princess of Wales,
during late-night portrait sessions.
Lawrence had to sign a written affidavit
that nothing had happened, and that the door had been unlocked
at all times.
'George himself seems to have had ambivalent feelings
'about Lawrence's relationship with his wife,
'but he overcame his misgivings when he realised
'that Lawrence could make him look fantastic.'
In 1815, with the Battle of Waterloo,
the Napoleonic Wars finally came to an end.
The Allies, with Britain in the lead,
were victorious at last.
George celebrated the end of the wars
by commissioning Lawrence to paint the Allied kings and commanders,
and rewarded him with a knighthood.
The innkeeper's boy was now Sir Thomas Lawrence.
Painting the Allied leaders would keep Lawrence busy
for many years to come.
The end of the fighting would affect the British profoundly.
'The sense of a closed, isolated island evaporated,
'and slowly the narrow world of the dandies and St James's
'would disappear. It was replaced by a hunger for continental travel.'
SONG: "La Mer" by Charles Trenet
# La mer
# Qu'on voit danser
# Le long des golfes clairs...
'The later years of the Regency would see Romantic poets
'darting about Europe, and Turner discovering the light of Venice.
'Those who couldn't get away could always read about it
'in the countless travelogues now being published.
'Voyagers wrote of the warm welcome they received from everybody
'except the French, who greeted the British
'with vindictive irritation.'
So, this is a really exciting moment for the British.
They've beaten Napoleon,
their country is the reigning European superpower.
They want to go and see for themselves
what their army has been fighting over.
# Voyez
# Pres des etangs
# Ces grands roseaux mouilles #
Many tourists made a detour for the battlefield of Waterloo itself,
a victory described by the Duke of Wellington
as "the nearest-run thing you ever saw in your life".
The Battle of Waterloo was on the 18th of June 1815.
By the 19th of June, the battlefield was already a visitor attraction.
An eye witness reports a carriage full of people
coming out from Brussels. They all got out,
and they examined the field.
Within a few months it had become a regular day-out destination.
There were hordes of guides to show you around.
There were lots of little boys selling gruesome relics
of the fallen, such as hair and bones.
'The main feature of the battlefield now
'is the Lion's Mound. Built in the 1820s,
'nearly 400,000 square metres of battlefield earth
'were shifted to build this observation point.'
The contours of the land have been levelled out a bit
from what the earliest visitors would have seen,
because so much earth was scooped up to make this big hill.
As the Duke of Wellington said, "They've ruined my battlefield!"
'The remains of Hougoumont Farm were a particular draw
'for the early tourists.'
'This was the scene of some of the most bitter fighting,
'as the French had repeatedly tried to storm the gates
'of the British-held enclave.
'Early visitors, in the months after the battle,
'recorded stepping over mouldy human remains
'and patches of charred earth where bodies had been burned.'
When the painter Turner visited, he carefully sketched the locations
where the greatest numbers had fallen.
Back in England, he painted this -
The Field Of Waterloo.
It's the night of the battle, and storm clouds fill the sky.
Hougoumont Farm is in flame.
A flare warns that there are scavengers on the battlefield.
Many of the injured were robbed and then killed by these looters.
People are searching for their loved ones.
The dying and the dead, the French and the English,
are just an intermingled clump of bodies.
'Lord Byron, the Regency's sharpest chronicler,
'made the journey here in 1816.
'A year after the battle, the site had been tidied up.'
Byron found it really hard to reconcile
his imagined visions of carnage with what he actually saw -
fertile fields returning to farmland.
And this is an idea that he incorporated into the canto
of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage that he was writing at the time -
"As the ground was before, thus let it be.
"How that red rain hath made the harvest grow!"
Like many other sightseers, Byron couldn't resist the opportunity
to buy some souvenirs, and he mailed them back to his publisher
in St James's.
And these are some of the actual spoils of war,
which Byron sent back to his publisher, John Murray, still here.
Let's have a look.
Ah! Now, we know that he sent back some cockades,
and these are red, white and blue French Napoleonic badges
made out of leather. Oh, look at the little eagle on the top there!
And these would have been a very powerful sight
in the early 19th century. To see that
would have been like looking at a swastika today.
It would have given that sense of fear
to a good, respectable English person.
This symbolises Boney, the enemy.
Ooh, look!
You wouldn't call that a bullet, would you? It's a piece of shot.
That could do some damage.
I'm just wondering what's on that now.
That could be a bit of French blood.
And another badge.
These things look like a load of trinkets,
and they are, in one sense, but in another sense,
these all belonged to real individuals
who probably gave their lives on the battlefield of Waterloo.
There's something quite sinister about them.
'Hidden away in a churchyard in Plymouth
'lies an odd little postscript to the war with Napoleon.'
This grave belongs to one of the strangest casualties
of the Napoleonic Wars. He was killed after the Battle of Waterloo.
The fighting was over. His name was John Boynes,
and he was a stonemason who worked in the dockyards.
And it says here he was "unfortunately drowned"
returning from a trip to see Bonaparte
out in Plymouth Sound. It was 1815. He was 35 years old.
Napoleon had surrendered to the captain of the British ship
HMS Bellerophon, then moored off the west coast of France.
The ship took Boney to Torbay, and then to Plymouth Sound,
where she waited around a bit
while the government decided what to do with him.
It was supposed to be a secret that Bonaparte was on board,
but one of the crew put a message into a bottle
and slipped it out to a passing ship,
so the news was out. Once this had happened,
Bonaparte was allowed to take a walk on the deck
at six o'clock in the evening. He could be seen for miles around
up there, and every boat in Plymouth got on the water
to try to get a closer look.
Normally there wouldn't have been anything remarkable
about a naval vessel in Plymouth Sound. But this was Napoleon,
the most famous man in Europe!
Hello! Thank you.
Thanks very much.
The commotion made the authorities rather jittery.
The captain of the Bellerophon, Captain Maitland,
recorded, on the 30th of July, that there were more than a thousand
of these little boats come to see Napoleon.
The guard boats from the big ship tried to disperse the crowd
by ramming them, with such force that some of the smaller vessels
nearly capsized.
Among them were two artists who captured the bizarre scene
for posterity.
John James Chalon gave us a panorama,
complete with surrounding boats and the people straining to get a closer view.
They were really excited to see Britain's mortal enemy,
the man who'd directly affected the lives of everyone in Plymouth.
He was repellent but fascinating.
The artist who gave us the close-up was Charles Lock Eastlake.
Eastlake was able to get his boat right up close to Napoleon.
He took a few rapid sketches on the spot,
and later he turned them into a full-length portrait.
The fallen emperor looks a bit dishevelled,
but he still seems to command the respect of a British sailor.
Is Napoleon looking out at the crowds,
or is he thinking about his own gloomy future?
This picture made Eastlake's name.
He would go on to a glorious career,
eventually becoming president of the Royal Academy.
There was one person notably absent
from Napoleon's final public appearance - the Prince Regent.
By this stage, Napoleon had been writing him personal letters,
It would have been relatively easy for George to come to Plymouth,
but he stayed away. I think that, even with Napoleon defeated,
he still felt he would have been overshadowed.
'Napoleon never did get a personal hearing from the regent.
'After ten days, he was sent to permanent exile
'in the South Atlantic.
'George, meanwhile, was left with a Bonaparte fixation
'from which he never really recovered.
'He set about acquiring objects that connected him with Napoleon,
'and some still remain at Buckingham Palace.'
This amazing cloak was retrieved from Napoleon's coach
on the battlefield of Waterloo,
and it ended up in George's clutches.
There's a Napoleon theme in his commissions.
'At the end of the Marble Hall in Buckingham Palace
'is Mars And Venus by Canova, Napoleon's favourite sculptor.
'Oddly enough, at the end of the wars,
'he became George's favourite sculptor too.
'George secured this particular work
'when he presented Canova with a snuffbox
'containing a £500 note.'
But the prize in George's collection was this.
This sensational thing here
is called the Table Of The Grand Commanders.
Here's Alexander the Great.
Here are other generals of antiquity.
It's pretty much made out of porcelain.
It was made for Napoleon,
and a couple of years after the Battle of Waterloo,
it was given as a gift by the restored king of France
to George. He treasured it. It was one of his favourite possessions.
And when he had himself painted by Thomas Lawrence,
this table appears in the background,
in what becomes the definitive image of George as regent,
and then as king.
With a few slight alterations, this would be the basis
of all George's later state portraits.
Lawrence reproduced the painting so often
that he was still knocking them out even when he was on his deathbed.
To George, this isn't just a table.
It's a symbol of all his feelings about Napoleon.
The message is pretty clear - this used to belong to Napoleon.
Napoleon's been beaten. It now belongs to George.
George himself is the grand commander.
'When George eventually became king in 1820,
'he would rebuild Windsor Castle as Gothic fantasy.
'And in its design, he included a space
'in which his victory over Napoleon could live forever.
'This is the Waterloo Chamber,
'where the collaboration between George and his spin-meister,
'Thomas Lawrence, is finally played out.
The room was originally a medieval courtyard.
It was closed over, to recall the hulk of a ship.
But it's what's on the walls that really grabs our attention.
Now, this has to be one of the most fabulous rooms in Europe.
George's big rivals as royal art patrons
were Henry VIII and Charles I,
but neither of them did anything on the scale of this.
There are more than 25 portraits here by Sir Thomas Lawrence,
and these are the men who brought you the victory of Waterloo.
We've got sovereigns, we've got statesmen,
we've got the actual commanders of the armies,
and they're shown in a really theatrical manner.
They're all larger than life, and they loom down at us
from the walls. I'd say it was like being in their presence,
but it isn't - it's better than that.
'In the later years of the Regency, Lawrence travelled around Europe,
'hanging out at diplomatic conferences
'and painting everyone on George's wish list.
'He returned laden down with unfinished portraits,
'and he kept polishing them up throughout the 1820s.
'There's something unreal about this room.
'It doesn't reflect the grim reality of Waterloo.
'Rather, it shows what the man who commissioned it
'desperately wanted to be true. This is George's room.'
This is how he saw himself,
as a warrior king in a chivalric court.
But what's kind of glossed over here
is the fact that he wasn't at any of the battles.
He was always safe on the other side of the Channel.
He seems to have forgotten this fact as time went on.
He would sometimes amaze people by talking about Waterloo
as if he'd been present, and there was another battle,
the Battle of Salamanca,
where he claimed to have led a cavalry charge
at the vital moment when things were looking very black indeed.
Wellington's generals, who really had been present,
often injured, and in some cases killed,
are hidden away in dark corners,
as if they're not allowed to intrude upon George's fantasy.
This room was only completed after George and Lawrence were both dead,
but it captures the high point of George's regency.
Here the Prince Regent was working with an extraordinary painter
that's really like the Regency period itself.
It's a unique mix of appearance and reality.
They've fused together into something that's not quite the truth
but it's spectacular all the same.
'Next time, we explore the Regency's greatest legacy -
'the rebuilding of Britain in the aftermath of Waterloo.
'As we'll discover, George wasn't alone
'in wanting to live in a world of make-believe.'

America's Final Solution Only Trump Stands in the Way - Duration: 9:45.
America�s Final Solution Only Trump Stands in the Way
he criminal elite are panicked over what the Trump movement has brought to the forefront.
Millions of previous unaware Americans are learning how evil is the system of governance
that they have been living under truly is and they are angry beyond belief.
This has forced the hand of the criminal elite and they are accelerating their timetable
of total subjugation.
A New Age of Genocide Is Being Unveiled Move over, Mao, Stalin, Hitler and Pol Pot,
there is a new extermination king in town.
It is called Agenda 2030.
In the Agenda 2030 conference previously held in Paris is being guided by 17 goals which
contains targets that will forever alter humanity and change the planet forever.
Of particular concern is goal #12, as it is the conduit from which the globalist depopulation
agenda will be ushered in.
Agenda 2030 Goal #12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Following the planned economic collapse, Agenda 2030 will enforce the most brutal austerity
programs ever conceived of, or ever enforced.
Just as it was in the Hunger Games movie, all food, water and medicine will be rationed.
Inhabitants will be forced to take the Mark of the Best, the dreaded but largely unknown
RFID chip.
We are already witnessing the birth of a cashless society.
Soon, cash will be banned.
Automation will bring promises of unlimited food production.
The public will be sold on the widespread use of robots to achieve this goal.
It will be a ruse.
The goal is to replace human workers with robots.
The globalists will horde the food in order to help wipe out the �useless eaters�
through starvation.
Then the population will be forced into a devastating World War III.
Subsequently, Ted Turner and the other globalists will be able to achieve their goals of reducing
the world�s population to a low of 500,000,000.
Predictive Programming of Man�s Demise From the early 1960�s, the TV show, The
Twilight Zone predicted the obsolescence of mankind through automation.
It is chilling that a TV show from over 5o years ago predicted the time and events that
we are now living in.
Humans Are the Excess Inventory of the World What do business owners do with their excess
inventory?
They at first try to get rid of the product by selling at a reduced price and when that
fails, they simply destroy the inventory.
The latter is the fate that awaits the American people and ultimately the human race.
Soon, humanity will no longer be needed because humanity has become the newest form of excess
inventory.
Over 90% of us will soon be obsolete.
Soft Kill Methods Fluoride, aluminum from chemtrails and specific
vaccines, artificial sweeteners, dangerous drugs (VIOXX) have constituted some of the
passive means of depopulation.
Humanity�s very existence is under assault.
Why?
Because the majority of humans are no longer needed as a species.
One of the popular sayings in our society in regard to how many things causes cancer
is to dismiss the danger as �everything causes cancer�.
And of course, anybody that writes about our toxic environment, dangerous GMO food supply
and tainted drinking water is a conspiracy theorist unless they work for the EPA and
are preparing to steal your land.
As devastating as the soft kill methods that we have been forced to endure are, these methods
pale in comparison as to what lies ahead.
Take the Globalists At Their Word The words of Henry Kissinger tells humanity
what lies ahead.
It�s no longer the Third World.
Kissinger�s attitude towards all of humanity can be summed as, �We don�t need you anymore�.
On this point, Kissinger has a lot of company as depopulation has been the order of the
day for quite some time among the globalists.
�A total world population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels,
would be ideal�.
Ted Turner, in an interview with Audubon magazine
�The present vast overpopulation, now far beyond the world carrying capacity, cannot
be answered by future reductions in the birth rate due to contraception, sterilization and
abortion, but must be met in the present by the reduction of numbers presently existing.
This must be done by whatever means necessary�.
Initiative for the United Nations ECO-92 EARTH CHARTER
�No one will enter the New World Order unless he or she will make a pledge to worship Lucifer.
No one will enter the New Age unless he will take a LUCIFERIAN Initiation.�
� David Spangler Director of Planetary Initiative for the United Nations
The above used to be just words, now they form the philosophy of the Fabian Socialists
that are running the planet.
Through Agenda 2030 and Goal #12, their words are fast becoming reality.
Why Humans Are No Longer Needed The bulk of humanity has become expendable.
We were good to the elite when they could exploit our labor and enjoy the fruits of
humanity�s talents.
One-third of jobs now performed by humans will be replaced by software, robots, and
smart machines by 2025, according to a prediction by information technology research and advisory
firm, Gartner.
Some estimate that by 2050, 75% of all jobs will be eliminated by automation.
This prediction reflects the evolution of robot capability, said Ryan Calo, a professor
at University of Washington School of Law with an expertise in robotics.
Robotic abilities are quickly surpassing human ability.
Robots do not require food, health benefits nor do they require a minimum wage.
The use of robotics in replacing humans will only continue to expand, according to Ray
Kurzweil, the director of engineering at Google.
Kurzweil anticipates that by 2029 robots will have reached human levels of intelligence
and functionality.
Many experts predict that these robots will put people out of work and this is exactly
what we are finding.
Automation has lessened the need for human capital.
In short, we have become excess inventory and must be disposed of.
For many who cover the misdeeds of the criminal elite, we know at the root of this struggle
is the need for the elite to eliminate 90% of all humanity before humanity realizes the
true nature of the coming agenda and rises up to oppose this tyranny.
In order to accomplish this, the elite need to move from passive soft kill to hard kill
methods and they need to do so very quickly.
In order to accomplish this agenda, complete political control must be realized.
The former beacon of freedom to the world, the United States must be obliterated along
with any notion of individual liberties.
The Final Solution There will become a bifurcation point where
soft kill methods, and diluting the native population through massive immigration will
not be enough to ensure total dictatorial control over the planet by the globalists
because its methods of replacement are not expeditious enough.
That is when soft kill will need to become the Final Solution of hard kill.
In history, the pattern is always the same: Step One
soros-interview-clinton-popular-votePerpetrate an economic collapse that will put millions
of desperate people on the street.
The Ameruica Spring, courtesy of George Soros is coming.
Step Two Combine the economic collapse with the creation
of a false flag series of events which necessitates the need for martial law and extreme measures
of subjugation.
It would appear that a mass casualty event is in the works.
Step Three Cordon people off for their own protection
fema check in
Step Four Exploit whatever free labor can be extracted
from this doomed group while they are being protected
uk fema camps
Step Five Systematically exterminate the undesirable
group as a move to promote national unity against a contrived common enemy (e.g. Christians)
holocaust
Step Six World War III will evolve out of the turmoil
as was the case with World War II-Serfdom will re-emerge
einstein and world war III
Step Seven This is when global depopulation will begin
in earnest.
When the smoke clears and the bulk of humanity has been buried, the New World Order will
truly be born.
These seven steps are all supported by past history.
What makes Americans think that we are immune to established historical precedent?
Sometimes it is good to be reminded of who we are fighting and what their Agenda (2030)
consists of.

Funny Jokes #88 - SALESMAN PITCH - Jokes for kids - Duration: 1:24.
SALESMAN PITCH
Little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, only to be confronted by a well-dressed
young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.
"Good morning," said the young man.
"If I could take a couple minutes of your time,
I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners."
"Go away!" said the old lady.
"I haven't got any money" and she proceeded to close the door.
Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed it wide open.
"Don't be too hasty!" he said.
"Not until you have at least seen my demonstration."
And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse shit onto her hallway carpet.
"If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse shit from your carpet,
Madam, I will personally eat the remainder."
"Well," she said, "I hope you have a damned good appetite, because the electricity was
cut off this morning."

I cross the earth to find you once again
During summer you said I was too perfect
You encouraged me to apply for a visa
But in the end you chose to leave me
Goodbye C haton, until you come again, my love
You promised we would find our rythme
You said we'd work as a team
But in the fall you changed your mind
Said it wasn't me it wasn't you but it didn't work
Goodbye Chaton, until you come again, my love
You don't want this life or to hurt me
You say that I'm preoccupied with other priorities
That you lost yourself and can't do it anymore
I hope you change your mind again
Every time we met I thought it went well
Maybe our time has yet to come
It's so damn hard I want to die
I really thought we had a fairy tale
Goodbye Chaton, until you come again, my love
We shall see chaton if you can succeed, my love

The Chainsmokers - Something Just Like This Lyrics - Duration: 4:17.
I've been reading books of old The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold Hercules and his gifts
Spider Man's control And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list
She said "Where'd you wanna go? How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to Somebody I can kiss"
"I want something just like this Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Oh I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo"
"Oh I want something just like this I want something just like this"
I've been reading books of old The legends and the myths
The testaments they told The moon and its eclipse
And Superman unrolls A suit before he lifts
But I'm not the kind of person that it fits
She said "Where'd you wanna go? How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to Somebody I can miss"
"I want something like this I want something just like that"
Oh I want something just like this Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh I want something just like this Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo"
"Where d'ya wanna go? How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to Somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this"
"Oh I want something just like this
"Oh I want something just like this
"Oh I want something just like this
