Sussex Global UK: Recent Episodes
Ivy
Information and analysis on all Harry and Meghan philanthropic projects since stepping back from being Senior Royals on 31/03/20 and treatment by BRF and UK media.This podcast channel builds on 14 mths of articles and podcast episodes as part of a team producing individual pieces of work. Very reasonable audience figures and comments for each podcast on YouTube. Time to branch out on my own.Ivy Barrow
The decline of the popularity of Monarchies is increasing pace, and the UK Royal Family is no exception. We take a look at some of the history and the reasons for some Royal Families who are no longer in existence, and the red flags in relation to the UK Monarchy and its relationship with the media, in particular the Royal Rota.
Looking at sibling rivalry within family businesses including a look at the Royal Family and also the same people when operating as The Firm. We will look at the types of behaviour, and what each signifies in terms of a condition if applicable and the triggers to look out for to highlight what could potentially occur further down the road.
The impact on individuals and the family unit is explored too.
A list of reference sources is shown at the end of the article which accompanies the podcast, which is published 24 hours after the podcast airs. I post a direct link to the article during the day on Monday - generally late afternoon or early evening.
Exploring the concepts of Cults and Monarchy, looking at leadership behaviours in both groups, and looking at whether or not there are any blurred lines in terms of how both groups operate. We focus on the UK Hereditary style of Monarchy.
Looking how the UK's business model of Hate for Hire is devaluing the UK and how many of the residents of the UK have yet to realise how the UK media (printed and televised) go about their way of creating negativity for income generation.
BuckinghamPalace #KensingtonPalace #britishroyalfamily #republic #william
Exploring the competing forces from within the Royal Family and the psychological state of the key players.
With the Sussexes out of the toxicity, the two palaces are beginning to implode and try to out do each other. They still try to send poison arrows across the pond, but they are ignored by Harry and Meghan, who have stated that they are moving forward rather than keep looking back over the last 4 years about who said what and when etc.
I have likened the current position as a bit like the Hunger Games, with the UK media (printed and televised) running between Kensington and Buckingham Palaces. One just has to smile at the absurdity.
Happy New Year. SGUK Channel first podcast of 2024. The audio versions are on here and video versions are on You Tube. There was an additional video podcast made at the end of last year, published on Boxing Day. If you have a moment, take a look. It was published on Boxing Day, and continues to receive very positive reviews.
Now back in 2024 with a slightly different style and content of podcasts moving forward. All podcasts this year will be linked to one or more of the 5 themes that emerged out of the first 100 podcasts published since the channel began in June 2021. The 5 themes are: History, Mental Health, Value for Money, Online Hate, and Legal.
Today's podcast focuses on the increase in Online Hate, and the Hate for Hire business model which is clearly at work. We also look at Herd Mentality and whether or not we are programmed to behave this way.
I hope you find it interesting and informative. The article and the list of Reference Sources used in the information gathering will be published on the Monday following the publication of the podcast. I will post a direct link on my YT page as soon as it is up on my website.
Thank you for your continued support. Please share links to podcasts/SGUK Channel, as i am hoping to grow this channel 'big time' this year. Your help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Last in the series of 12 podcasts relating to the 26 Non Profit organisations who were all successful in securing grants to further their work in respect of various forms of new technology and the implications for under 18s in terms of risks and safety. The Grants were given by the Responsible Tech Fund which comprises of a number of philanthropic Foundations, of which Archewell is one of the Founder members.
There will be no audio podcast from the SGUK Channel until Feb 2024. I will be publishing a video podcast in December - a Christmas Special featuring successes of Harry and Meghan. In Feb 2024 i will return to publishing a video and an audio podcast, but I will only now be publishing one episode a month. If subscriptions indicate that you all like the new format, then i will continue and hopefully increase the episodes, but for now, the statistics do not indicate that, and therefore I will be reducing research time accordingly.
Thank you so much for all the support to date. It is very much appreciated. I am guided by the demand of the listeners and viewers. Currently most want to hear more about daily gossip between the Royal Family and The Sussexes. There are plenty of really good channels out there who do a fantastic job. I am just not interested in the day to day fake fires created all with the need to sell more tabloids. I respect my audience, hence why I am stepping back and making a few changes here and there, including other channels on different topics.
Have a fabulous festive season. See you all in 2024.

Part 2 in our series of looking at the 26 Non Profit organisations who were awarded Grants to continue their research into various technologies in the future.
Quote from the Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund website in relation to the Grants awarded to 26 Youth Led Organisations this month (August 2023).
The Focus:-
We believe that young people can be a powerful force in the fight for a more inclusive and equitable technology ecosystem. However, cultural, social, and infrastructural barriers often prevent youth-led organizations and intergenerational partnerships from accessing funding and realizing their full power and potential in shaping responsible technology. That begins to change today.
The Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund is a first of its kind philanthropic initiative aimed at supporting youth and intergenerationally led organizations shaping the responsible technology movement. The Fund, has raised $2 million from 14 funders,
The responsible technology movement is about:
- Building, shaping, and stewarding our tech ecosystem to safeguard human rights
- Leveraging technology platforms to address social, cultural, political, or environmental problems
- Ensuring equitable access to the benefits of technology
- Mitigating the harmful impacts of technology in communities
Archewell Foundation is one of the contributors to the Fund.
The article accompanying the podcast will be published on my website on Monday evening GMT, giving more details and web links. This is the first in a series covering all 26 of the recipient organisations. There is also a video version on You Tube at the same publishing time.

Amplifying the voices of individuals who have experienced positive changes in their lives following support from one of Archewell Foundation partner organisations. We feature a sample of those recipients to find out how they are doing now, and hear from some who are now passing on their knowledge to help others.
There is also some surprising news right at the end of the podcast, relating to information which was announced 2 days ago. More people to hear from in the coming months.
The Archewell Foundation is proud to have supported this report, as well as Equimundo’s continued work to promote gender equality around the globe to engage with men and boys.
There are a number of Annual Reports going back a few years, which outlines in detail the work that has taken place in the aim to increase men and boys becoming allies for Gender equality. Once again, Archewell is working with organisations who can provide data about the work carried out to date, and the outcomes of their policy and strategy year on year. Quantifiable evidence of outcomes and rationale for making plans for the following year.
The latest report for 2023 is now published. We will touch upon it to give you an idea of the activity over this last year, but there is also a link at the end of this article where you can download the pdf version, or read it online if you prefer. In the Reference Source list, we have also included links to the Reports published in recent years. Like this current one, you can access the online version of each report, as well as choose to download the pdf version, and read it at your leisure.
The Framework of this Podcast Summary
Themes from June 2021 to July 2023:-
The categories that emerged from those 100 episodes are as follows:-
· Co-ordinated Hate Online
· History
· Mental Health
· Legal
· Value for Money
· Miscellaneous – which were specialist episodes focusing on an event, such as summary podcasts at key points, eg end of year.
It is useful to point out here, that there are podcasts listed under each of the above Categories, but most of them appear under other categories, but to a lesser degree. For the purpose of summarising the 100 episodes, they have been included in the one where the episode features more on that topic, though in a few cases, there were other categories where it was a close call, but they are listed under the one where they had the highest percentage.
Hello everyone, this podcast is continuing our series of looking at community organisations that the Archewell Foundation have assisted over the last 3+ years, and organisations who Archewell Foundation have partnered with. The aim of this series is to highlight the impact of the work being done day in day out, behind the scenes, without fuss. Uplifting others in a variety of ways. For a company so young in its lifespan, Archewell has achieved so much, but you never hear about any of this in UK Media. UK Media spend each day discussing Archewell business in anything but negative rhetoric, despite ferreting around company data in USA and coming up with nothing negative, but still each tabloid writes 15-20 articles a day. Receipts exist going back 7 years now, and there is absolutely no justification for the depth of depravity to which UK media will sink. Printed and televised.
There are far more things happening in the UK which should be daily discussion points, but instead the usual target is the couple who dared to leave the UK for the sake of their mental health and risk to the Sussex family.
Archewell Foundation is doing very well for such a young company and is helping so many groups around the globe. I choose to focus on the impact of such work, not performative actions and creative accounting.
This series of podcasts is looking at a few examples of organisations who have provided help or who have been helped in some way, and the impact that it has had on the respective organisations and their vulnerable clients.
I hope you find the series inspiring.
This week we continue our foray into a sample of the organisations who Harry and Meghan have partnered with or have assisted by way of funds to a number of small to medium organisations, by the Archewell Foundation.. This week we are looking at one of the Partnerships, and the following is direct quote from the Archewell website.
“At The Archewell Foundation our core purpose is, quite simply, to do good. We meet the moment by showing up, taking action, and using our unparalleled spotlight to uplift and unite communities, both local and global, online and offline.
We believe that philanthropic work is more than a handout, it’s a hand held. To activate this belief, we independently create dynamic and impactful programming to serve communities in need. We also partner with key organizations and leaders to identify immediate needs, build meaningful initiatives, and drive long-term change.
Baked into all that we do is the core belief that our collective wellbeing and mental health are paramount. Our three main pillars of focus are to build a better world online, to restore trust in information, and above all, to uplift communities.”

This weeks podcast looks at two media organisations that are working in partnership with the Archewell Foundation over the last two plus years. One is USA based and the other is based here in the UK. Both have increased their activity over the last couple of years or so, but like all small organisations, any help with promotion of their aims and objectives can never do any harm. Both have measurable data relating to the impact of their work with a variety of individuals and groups. Nothing on here is about any type of performative activity. Much ore detail on their respective websites – this is just an overview to show how when project leaders know what they are doing, and join forces with like minded people, and then can be blessed with additional resources this is how you uplift organisations and groups. Needs more than a handshake and an insincere smile. Everything about the research I have done has been so encouraging and uplifiting, I am proud to support those who are working hard at making a positive difference in the world.
The next few podcasts of Sussex Global UK will be covering the impact of some of Meghan and Harry’s work, by shining a light on partnership organisations and people they have helped, in a variety of ways, and the impact that it has had and aspirations of those organisations for the future. Harry and Meghan and their team have made measurable differences in the organisations that they partner with and together they have made a difference in the lives of those who use their services. Harry and Meghan’s actions are not performative. Every task and schedule has been carefully thought out and planned with strategies and timescales and resources required. Announcements are usually made when they are near completion. The podcasts coming up over the next couple of months or so, will shine a light on those out there working at community level and their hopes and plans for the future. We will also cover any developments re Harry and Meghan's individual projects.
This podcast and the SGUK Channel moving forward, relates to Harry & Meghan focusing on their life and Foundation, as opposed to flying back and forth to the UK to be disrespected each time. Harry stated that they are moving forward not looking back. I publicised a few weeks ago that this channel will be doing the same.
Sundays podcast focuses on the Goodbye aspects which BRF and media are pretending does not exist. Every function they have without H&M diminishes the event. So be it. The UK had 7 years to make it right so now it is the Finding Out stage of their actions. Meanwhile all is great in Montecito. ️ Love to see it.
I consider the Sussex family as a unit moving away from an extremely toxic environment and a dysfunctional family. Family in this context relates to The UK Monarchy, The Government and the UK Tabloid media. I consider them to be all sleeping in the same bed, and the invisible contract is so visible now around the world, the clown show continues and is seen as such around the world. When a nation describes UK Media as “niche” (dictionary definition includes “obscure”) it confirms what most rational people outside of the UK stance on ‘make believe successful post Brexit world’,
This weeks podcast explores the power of the mind, when someone is backed up into a corner, and what thought processes can take place which can make them come out fighting and win.
This week’s podcast is entitled Clout Chasing for Relevance. We will look at two organisations who attached themselves to Prince Harry, for nothing else but to raise the profile of their respective organisations, under a fake or at best, less than important reason for the matter to be investigated in relation to anything that Harry had been working on previously. Both topics given as the fictitious reason for investigation would have been more use in one of the two cases, if another individual from a choice of several could have and should have been investigated on a number of fronts. In the other example, it was not so much the individual that this clout chaser was pursuing, but an organisation who officially handles such topics, is in their line of fire relating to how they have handled previous documentation.
This week’s podcast looks at whether or not such a thing as Ethics exist in UK journalism and the media industry in general in the UK. The kind of things and style of reporting I have seen in my lifetime, but particularly in the last 30 years would suggest that if there were any kind of standard that media personnel and their regulatory bodies have written down somewhere, it clearly is not at the forefront of their mind when actually carrying duties in their employment.
If you do an actual search using the word Ethics, in any aspect of the UK Media, you may be surprised to discover, that it is like looking for the holy grail. It is more alluded to than be a prominent feature in the official documentation of this profession. Speaks volumes.
I give a few details about the Regulatory organisations, alongside rules and regulations for printed media as well as televised. I give an outline of responsibilities and their ‘raison d’etre’ of both bodies set up to regulate printed and televised media. The current system in my mind is as useful as a chocolate fire guard. Looks the part until the heat is on them to do their duties.
Earlier this week Harry, Meghan and Doria were hounded by paparazzi in New York city for 2 hours. Paparazzi following the police escort cars that accompanied the Sussexes own security detail. UK Stepford assignment on the UK population is working in sufficient proportions to give the impression that anyone saying anything different to that, is suffering from low brain cells. Time is going to prove that this incident on a New York City highway, has zero to do with people taking photos of people inside cars that they were following, when all photographers had static opportunities to take quality posed photos inside the venue. 6 cars with blacked out windows and with number plates covered over, along with people on motorbikes and electric powered bikes - does not suggest that any of those individuals in the cars, were legitimate media professionals.
So, what is the Overton Window?
The Overton Window is a model for understanding how ideas in society change over time and influence politics. The core concept is that politicians are limited in what policy ideas they can support — they generally only pursue policies that are widely accepted throughout society as legitimate policy options. These policies lie inside the Overton Window. Other policy ideas exist, but politicians risk losing popular support if they champion these ideas. These policies lie outside the Overton Window.
The Overton Window can both shift and expand, either increasing or shrinking thenumber of ideas politicians can support without unduly risking their electoral support.
Widely shared extreme rhetoric shifts the so-called “Overton Window,” signaling that an issue is now the subject of acceptable discourse when, in the past, discussing it might have been taboo. Prejudiced elite speech, one study found, is particularly powerful if other elites endorse it, emboldening audiences to declare their own prejudices and act on them accordingly.
Comparing the Monarchy and it deals with changes in the ways of operating in a modern society, and the reasons why people voted to leave the European Union. Is it the same business model/rationale to arrive at a decision in both structures?
A Call to Action from our listeners and viewers on You Tube. Have a listen to this week's podcast and decide if you would like to contact a few people regarding using their position/profiles to start conversations which will lead to actions.
I have given a few suggestions in a pinned Comment, under last week's podcast video published a few days ago. You can contact whoever you think could assist.
The article for last week's podcast is complete, and the same for the podcast tonight, but i am in the middle of transferring my website to a new provider - or rather i have someone helping me with that. It should all be complete by 7th April at the latest. So if you want to see all the names in print (ie the sample suggestions) and to read what our campaign is about and how long we have been working on it, then all will be clear in the article.
This week's podcast is a follow on from that, and also gives details of some of the organisations who we have been communicating with for over a year.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused by the movement of the website, but it all should be sorted soon.
Thank you for your patience.

UPDATE: Website now up and running. Articles linked to this and the previous podcast now published on the site (ivybarrow.org) in the podcast blog articles tab.
Coercive Control appears several times on this channel, as many of you know, in previous podcasts and articles. I decided to add this new section to the audio because of recent developments regarding the depravity of Royal Rota and elements of UK journalism, in once again targeting the Sussex children. In my opinion it crossed the line and as a result it has triggered a chain reaction of communications and a Call to Action from anyone who feels moved to contact the people I will name shortly, and ask them to get involved, now. All the ones I will name, are a selection of people on our SGUK mailing list. This selection of names are in a position to make this high profile, and with all the venomous labels and activity pointed at the Sussex children, including activity which led to a miscarriage for the Sussexes. I did a podcast on how disgraceful and disgusting the articles by Royal Rota were, and the comment sections of those UK newspapers contained about the loss of a baby. I felt those emotions to my core, having experienced such a loss many years ago. The trauma remains with you, and articles like those that November, were so cruel and it was obvious that they did not consider Meghan or her lost baby as human warranting due respect, and that lack of respect and humanity is still in evidence today with Archie and Lilibet. Neither the UK Monarchy or its mouthpieces in the tabloid press, consider the Sussex children as anything but fair game for their coercive control they wish to have over The Sussex family, Harry in particular. This is just another method to hurt the couple, with a view that Harry will tow the line and provide the glitter to wrap around the detritus that is known as UK Monarchy, for the Coronation in front of the globe. I have no doubt that Harry will be villainized and be the Whipping Boy for the Royals should he attend, equally he will be the Whipping Boy if he does not. Not least because UK Monarchy always have fragile egos, and anything that happens that they do not feel comfortable with, they always look for someone to blame. Never any inward introspection, in typical narcissistic style. There is an old saying that a turd is still a turd even when wrapped in glitter.
The latest so called joke and much laughter ensued with the 4 media folk was well below the mark, and I personally felt like I needed to take action, even though it was not my child. I am 100% certain that none of the Royal Rota would ever make such jokes about any of the other Royal children, even those who are so far down the list of succession, that they are unknown to the general public, but the children of colour, once again are seen as acceptable fodder, and would be every day, if they returned to live in the corridors on that disgusting plantation behind gilded gates. No way will that be happening, so as a black woman, and also one who suffered the loss of a baby and the trauma which still remains as if it happened recently, this latest act of cruelty has triggered something in me.
Before I leave this planet, there will be some kind of movement within international legal corridors that begins the process to hold those responsible for coercive control activities to account. The fact that Robert Jobson found it amusing to mention what he would love to do on the balcony with a named Sussex child, and the speed in which the other 3 spawn of Satan burst into laughter over, shows and proves how low you are all prepared to go to earn your few pennies by vilifying and wishing death defying activities on a 3 year old. At least two of you I know are parents, and that makes you lower than Satan’s toe nail. The short video I saw on social media, and the photo that the four of you posed for at the end, shows how much the begging bowl must be empty these days. The fact that you wish to fall on your sword for the ‘higher
The topics that I touch upon in this podcast, in the main applies to any group of people that you regard as family. Family does not have to be blood relatives, and there is risk in regarding blood relatives, or whoever you regard as family, as being pivotal in the way you make decisions about your life. Like all relationships, much depends on the interaction between you and the family group, and dependant upon how that impacts your life in other ways, that relationship between different family members may vary, and could change over time. Time could span decades. All family groups have highs and lows, and most things can be sorted, however, if there have been experiences which have led to various forms of trauma, including experiences from childhood, the responses will vary as time moves on, and life experiences begin to cement certain conclusions in ones mind. Always remember, no one else can tell your story like you can with your lived experiences, and whatever decisions you make, they are yours to make. Well meaning family members, as well as friends, will have lots to say, with good intentions in most cases, but ultimately, the decision has to be yours. One thing that you need to be cognisant of, is not to make decisions based on how members in that family group, or one member in that family group, feels about your behaviour towards them, or your intention to change the rules of engagement in the future.
The UK appears to be caught up in a type of whirlwind. A whirlwind manufactured and developed within the UK, to a point many if not most of us wake up each (assuming we managed to get a good sleep in the first place) wondering what meteor is going to strike us today, and what contingency plans can we start to think about now, that may come in handy during the day if another metaphorical meteor strikes today. That is how many of us are living. The mental health issues stacking up in this country is going to take many decades of professional interventions to even scrape the surface of the issues in play, and even more books written on the lessons learned each time we go up a gear in mental and physical suffering.
This podcast (Episode 84) will explore the personality traits of the Monarch, and the ripple effect on those around him. We will look at leadership and the impact of those with a narcissistic personality. We will also look at the evidence that proves most of the managers and leaders who bully people around them, have narcissistic traits, and explore the implications of that on people who are in senior influential positions in a country, and where their actions have a direct immediate effect on the population of that country.
We also explore research papers in this podcast and look at extracts in one of the research papers on the subject of Aristrocracy and its Links with Narcissism. There are many articles based on the observations of Freud on this topic, and many more articles written about it, and paintings done to portray the subject. I am merely taking a few lines from a research paper, listed in the reference sources below, but you will find many many more articles and research on this topic from any search engine.
We also look at the forthcoming Coronation and the juxtaposition of the UK having the highest total of Food Banks in Europe, and now we have introduced Heat Banks too, to enable people to access heat for various periods, rather than stay in a cold house because they are unable to afford the increased cost of heating their home. Many are living without hot water or heat, and rely on Food Banks for food some days every week.
Please join us from 05 March 2023 or later in the week, and see what you think.

This podcast will explore the dichotomy of the treatment of both Dukes of Sussex, by their respective fathers/Kings - in comparison to the treatment of other prominent Royals seen as exemplary. In all comparisons, the outcomes for both Dukes have been better than ever imagined, and in the case of the 2nd Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry is by far the most successful in terms of wealth and popularity. The punitive actions taken against both Dukes, never achieved what both Kings expected. In today's age of social media with the vehicle of the internet, each punitive action is publicized around the globe in seconds and is seen by most for what each action is meant to cause. It hasn't worked. The reverberations from the games played already continues to wreak havoc on the ones dishing out the punishments. Weakening the very institution it originally intended to strengthen and prolong its existence.
Join me on 26th Feb 2023 to look at the 'punishments', and in particular the vindictiveness of the children targeted, but others in both Royal families left alone. I will show the volume of direct matches in the range of punitive actions, and will include images and tables to show the matches. We will play an interactive game of Snap. You will also see various significant dates in the calendar & decisions in respect of Meghan and Harry, were not accidental. Definite meaning and inference intended behind each and every one. None of it good. The latest nonsense with the date of the Coronation is included in the comedy section of the podcast.
The silver lining in all of this, is that the world is watching, and if anything adverse happens to any of the Sussex family, it will not suddenly elevate the UK Monarchy and its Royal Rota to high levels of popularity - quite the opposite.
Prince Harry spoke of an "invisible contract" between the Royal Family and reporters - a world in which orchestrated public exposure is offered, and a level of scrutiny traditionally accepted, in return for privacy behind palace gates.”
In everyday speech, symbiosis means both parties involved in a relationship are benefiting from each other.
There is a certain irony in so many being so alive to every nuance of white privilege but seemingly so blind to the privilege that flaunts itself through the hereditary monarchy. Making inherited privilege more ‘diverse’ is hardly a step forward in the battle against racial inequality
In order to give context as to how and why some people in powerful positions thought it would be a good idea to have a large group of people who solely reported on the UK Royal Family and no one else, this podcast explore the main reasons why the UK and USA have tabloids but how and why the UK decided to go to extremes in order to get a story and sometimes according to one professional, be prepared to “violate laws”. All of these people, officially referred to as journalists, work for a tabloid newspaper, and between the group chosen by Editors of said tabloids, but the British Royal Family having the final say so, as to whether or not they are considered the type of people who will fit in with the Royal Family, gives you some idea of the type of coverage required/preferred by the Monarch in post. This group of privileged journalists, only work with the privileged UK Royal Family and as we have come to realise over the years, this favoured group of journalists, also liaise with senior Royal staff, and also various members of staff of varying rank, and have a very close relationship with Royal Human Resources.
With that information as a backdrop to a nation’s media entities operating and navigating their way through employers responsibilities and legislation, that is questionable, and vague on certain areas, we then have another layer of dysfunctionality in what many if not most of you all have heard described as the Royal Rota, where is there no depth to which they will not sink, or destroy their victims in the search for a story that will bring in the coins, no matter whether it is truth or fiction, income generation is the guiding force in most cases.

For reference, the title of this podcast is related to the overall theme of this and the following two podcasts, and is based on a British television series from the late 1960s called The Prisoner. It centred on an unnamed British intelligence agent who is abducted and imprisoned in a mysterious coastal village, where his captors designated him as Number 6,
Episode plots have elements of science fiction, allegory ( which means it is literary device or artistic form – a narrative or visual representation in which a character, place, or event can be interpreted to represent a hidden meaning with moral or political significance. Authors have used this approach to illustrate or convey complex ideas and concepts in ways that are comprehensible or striking to its viewers, readers or listeners) and psychological drama, as well as spy fiction. The above description is from Wikipedia.
As we work our way through the 3 podcasts in this series, you will see how and where those various descriptions come into play, and you will start to link descriptions with people or situations that feature in the areas we explore. For further clarity, the areas are the golden threads which ran through all 3 sections of Prince Harry’s memoir entitled “Spare”, with emphasis on the two main threads which were the British Royal Family and The Royal Rota. The main point I would like to stress here is that the reason that Harry and Meghan and their children are here, is because of Love. The couple were encompassed with love by their allies, and their allies became the Sussexes angels on earth.
Last part of the trilogy Book Review of Prince Harry's Memoir: Spare
I have given examples of Golden Threads for each Section (x3) of the Book, which covers Childhood, Military Life and Getting Married and Raising a family. This last episode also gives examples of Golden Threads which run through all of the book. More information is contained in each article on my website. ivybarrow.org in the Podcast Blog section. There is a comprehensive list at the end of each article.
I am focused on research where certain trauma's experienced in childhood, can be carried through and impact on adult life. I explore whether this has happened in this case. The article for this podcast, will be up on the website late afternoon/early evening GMT on Monday 30th January 2023.
NB There is a glitch on mine and many other websites, which occurred last week as a result of a Word Press update. it is likely to be resolved on the next update. Lots of Google queries re this. Rather than mess around and try to remove it myself, by looking at videos etc, i have decided to leave it until the next update. All pages when you go onto the website, have about a 12 lines of so of computer speak. ignore. Scroll down past all of that and normal viewing is available. Not ideal but it works and the update is imminent. Thank you for your patience with the irritation of the views.

Part 2 of the "Spare trilogy" Book Review. This one focusing on the Military.
Following on from last week’s podcast, this weeks publication focuses on life in the military for Harry, and the way that military life was a preferred place to be for Harry compared to life in the UK as a member of the Royal Family. He is on record stating this fact many times over the years, but it is a key piece of information that the British Royal Family and its media along with key senior staff within the Firm all chose to ignore. There are golden threads running from Part One of this podcast series, which link directly to many, if not all of the threads in this section with serious implications for the role of Monarchy in the UK and most definitely formed very strong threads feeding into Section Three.
First of all, in order to get the podcast underway, I want to stress the point here, that this is not your usual style of book review. . I made notes of points that jumped out of the pages for me, and as a standalone set of information, there was much that could have been written about the story that was untold, running in the background of the main points listed in the book itself. Whilst I have included a few quotations from all 3 Divisions of the book, I have devoted the 2nd part of this podcast to Section 2 – Bloody But Unbowed, which will air next Sunday on 22nd January 2023. The same approach and methodology will be used, but found from my Notes that this area of the book merited its own podcast. Sections 1 will be dealt with in depth here, and elements of Section 2&3 will be included, and the links between all 3 will be explored. The Conclusion will bring together a series of observations that will link to research and elements of the Law, as well as the implications for UK Monarchy moving forward.
Section 2 will be covered on 22nd January with elements from 1 and 3 included and the final part of the trilogy will focus on Section 3, (29th January) with referrals to sections 1&2, and the Conclusion in the final part of the trilogy, will cross reference with the childhood trauma categories I list in this podcast, and show a profile of Harry the man post Royal Life, and embracing Philanthropic endeavours, whilst navigating a series of boundary setting, in relation to the people and lifestyle where he knew nothing else.
Another audio video in the SGUK Audio Rebrand series. This one is from my time in the Meghanpedia team. It was my third podcast ever, and i was on a steep learning curve re the world of podcasting. The topic being discussed on that occasion (Nov 2020) is still very relevant today, particularly with Prince Harry's book coming out next week. It is likely that I will revisit this subject again in the coming weeks, with visuals to go along with the updated commentary. That being said, have a listen to the audio from Nov 2020 which aired 8 months after Harry and Meghan stepped back from Senior Working Royal duties (11 months after the formal announcement) and left the UK. The points made are still valid, and the continued antics of the BRF & its media 3 years down the line is very telling and dangerous. Look out for a podcast in the next few weeks, relating to the current position and my thoughts on the dangerous game being played, and how it will need legal enforcement in order to remind people of the laws in place. Breaches in the law is not acceptable, and doing so across borders is certain to result in legal measures being pursued one day. I will do an updated article to go along with the new video podcast.
NB Don't forget to continue to support the Meghanpedia team by supporting their You Tube channel and articles on their website.

Todays podcast will explore the worlds of double standards, when it comes to the UK Royal Family and its explanation for decisions on a range of things, over many decades. I will list just a few examples, from many more included in the Reference Sources below, and as the podcast progresses, you will start to see common themes appearing. I will also cover the area, from a non legal brain or qualification, but from common sense and how the law applies to different people in the chain of command.
But let’s just list a few examples of double standards in the next section of this podcast and in the section following on from that, I will quote from various UK publications, all of whom are part of the invisible contract. Someone needs to consider the risk of injury of trying to ride the fence since 2016, and to remind themselves, only Royalty have some chance of escape from the full force of the law, but the rest of you doing their bidding, or unknowingly doing the bidding of someone else, needs to remember that you are the fodder. You are expendable. In terms of media, Royal Rota, you are just fish bait – remember that when you spout your venom and your racists tropes towards the Sussexes.
NB Please note that the next 2 podcasts will be end of year round up types and will be in video format only, due to the nature of the content. The next new podcast, after the two round up end of year ones this month, will be on 15th January 2023. There will be the odd repeat of video podcasts possibly, but the next video and audio podcast will be on 15th Jan.
Merry Christmas to everyone, and thank you so much for the support. It means more than you know. The article accompanying this podcast will be on my website late afternoon/early evening Monday 5th Dec. ie ivybarrow.org in the podcast Blog section.
What does it mean when someone is declared to have a fragile ego? How can it be identified and what are the implications for those around that individual, in the workplace in particular? This podcast explores the signs and the impact of having someone with this form of behaviour in the workplace, and more at risk when that individual is in a management position. We will explore both fragile egos and leadership along with the impact they have on each other, and as a result the risks and potential outcomes in the workplace.
This weeks podcast explores the ramifications of psychological warfare and its application in the modern era, delivered across borders. I have a particular interest in psychology, and I am a Chartered professional in various forms of human behaviour and the rationale behind it some of the manifestation. The title for this podcast comes from a very interesting book by Neil Morton, called Psychological Warfare. It covers a topic I am deeply interested in and it forms a very useful backdrop to its application in terms of the various forms of delivery used by the British Royal Family and its partners in the media – both printed and televised, and in all the societal groups I have mentioned many times before, who all support each other, in order to ensure that they all continue to benefit from a pattern of life that has existed for centuries.
NB Apologies for being a week late with this. The video version was published on time but i would have gone over my allotted time by half an hour last week. No matter, it is here now, and i hope that you find it interesting and informative. As per usual the article is up on my website in the Podcast Blog section of ivybarrow.org.
"The sheer volume of comments I see on my timeline from others posting something or other, causes me to lose faith in human nature sometimes. I just add names/words to a mute list and move on. There is going to be a lot of work for mental health professionals for decades to come, in terms of the worsening nature and content of single purpose accounts set up to target someone and bring them down in some way. The mental health professionals will need to work with both the victim and the abuser, because both will show the ripple effect of this type of abuse/harassment being delivered online under the banner of free speech."
The allusion here is obvious and quite literal, referring to a deck of playing cards. It is possible to stack playing cards in such a way that the cards form a tall tower. The cards in this tower are not flat, but rather standing up on their edge. The structure is layered, or tiered, in form. Although this tower can look tall and impressive, a slight breeze or jostle will send the entire thing into ruins.
The figurative meaning keeps this imagery. An organization or an endeavor might seem grand or stable at first glance, but it could collapse at any moment.
King Charles’ popularity took a huge hit over his treatment of Diana, and the public have never really forgiven him for it. Charles publicly admitted that he started having an affair with Camilla Parker Bowles in 1986 while he was still married to Princess Diana. There is information that the liaison occurred before Charles married Diana, but there were particular requirements of the woman that Charles would be allowed to marry, one of which was that the woman in question would have to be ‘pure’ which immediately negated all of Charles lady friends, and naturally if any were married at the time of the courtship with the Prince. Charles treated Diana very badly, some of it in the public eye, and to watch Princess Diana become less of herself as time went on, the public supported her more, and went out of their way to show her affection, and at the same time, increasingly became more critical of the then Prince Charles. The more visible and audible support that Princess Diana received on any public engagements, the more it seemed that the ego of Prince Charles was taking a continual battering. The more unhappy Princess Diana visible became, the more the public let Charles know, they were not amused.
I remember those days, and to this day, I have never and will never forgive him for the treatment of Princess Diana. Never.
I do recognise that he has many skills, and that he did not sit around waiting for the Crown to be placed on his head. He did develop a range of projects, most of which are hugely successful today, and have measurable and clear outcomes each year.
Although the British monarchy is supported by a plurality of people across most age groups in Great Britain, it is among over 65 year-old's where the level is support is highest at 77 percent. Younger age groups are progressively more likely to oppose the monarchy, with 31 percent of 18-24 year old's opting instead for an elected head of state.
Houston we have a problem. If 77% of the Royal support base is aged 65 or over, then in the space of 4 decades, that total will have shrunk considerably, and with less Royal supporters, decreasing with the younger age groups, there are insufficient people interested enough to match the numbers who will no longer be here to be part of the statistics they like to quote.
5 out of the 7 Senior Royals recently named as the Main Senior Working Royals are above or near retirement age. Does not bode well. No Workforce or Succession Planning has been done, and look where we are now as a result.
The main theme of this podcast is looking at the rumoured likely changes under the new King, and how it may or may not impact in any way on The Sussexes. The doubt about those things, is that BRF rarely come out and say what they mean and do what they say. Their methodology is to throw out smoke bombs and see what hits and what causes the most discussion. At all times the BRF desired outcome is that they look like good reasonable people, and it is others who try to muddy the waters by their behaviour and attitude. Once the BRF and its media decide what will be able to ‘fly’ without too much controversy, or if it ever existed, with the lapse of time, there will be another distraction story introduced to take peoples minds of the change about to be implemented, and when it is made official, the blow does not quite hurt as much.
There is an old saying that a fish rots from the head down. It is phrase that is known in China and in Europe from the period of the Middle Ages. It is certainly a phrase that I heard my parents say throughout my childhood, usually referring to people at the top of organisations. If you look up this phrase, there are a variety of explanations given as to the exact meaning, but all of them are consistent with the notion that the top determines the content. Ie if the leader of the organisation is poor and ineffective, then it follows the organisation culture and style will replicate that same approach and tone.

NB My website is now up and running again. All the backlog of 4 articles are now published. All are shown in the Podcast Blog section of the site. ivybarrow.org Thank you for your patience. The article for this podcast will be published Monday 10th October late afternoon GMT
These instigators, were about to find out, that the Sussex combination was nothing like anything that the Royal Family had ever seen or experienced before. The Royal Family were about to play games with a team that knew exactly what they were doing, and did meticulous project planning, and had a group of highly accomplished individuals working with them. The narcissists in the Monarchy and its press, would be in for a huge shock, and to add to their misery, every poison arrow that was sent in the way of Meghan or Harry or both, never hit home, and with each arrow sent, they acted like beacons in the sky, and alerted global citizens around the world to notice that virtual arrows were flying about. It was like having a firework display every night, and in doing so, caused people who rarely looked at the day to day goings on of the BRF. Here their own Rota personnel, were busying earning money from the couple deemed as irrelevant, and over the next 3 years, theu curiosity caused those watching, beginning to question the double standards used on other members of the BRF and The Sussexes. That it ultimately did was shine a light on the abuse going on in a way that left no physical scars, and ultimately increased the interest by people who were not interested before. The couple were always going to be successful. Sussex Supporters knew that from the start, but none of the 1000+ year old British Monarchy did, nor its media. The haters increased too, but were mainly only popular in the UK and Australia, whereas The Sussxes were fast becoming very successful on the global stage.
In a nutshell, the cruelty and game playing by the Monarchy men in grey suits and its press, created more attention on The Sussexes, and ultimately increased their value on the global business platforms. Whoops. Not quite what BRF and its RR had in mind.

This weeks podcast, takes a brief look into the world of Artificial Intelligence, and its place in an employment setting. Does it take jobs away from people, or does it free people up to do other things? I suspect it is a bit of both. In the setting where the tasks undertaken are repetitive, and do not take much thinking time, in order to produce the final outcome, there could be an argument for AI to find a home.
Royal Reporting is carried out by all the tabloids in the UK, and they all pretty much produce articles on the same topics and people every day. The analyst in me wonders why so many people have a job where they only write about a handful of people, and in reality, the majority of the subjects for the article are no longer working Royals anyway, so do not come under the remit of the Royal Rota. It seems money is the magnet. The printed and online media make more money for their packaged products when they write about the couple who stepped back and moved to another country. The fact that UK media is still harassing and abusing them, is a topic of previous podcasts, and I am fairly confident it will form part of some kind of legal action in years to come.
For this purpose of looking at AI, I consider that the number of journalists working in the Rota is at least three times too large for the targets of their remit, and for the final outcome of the product. When it gets to the stage that that each tabloid can churn out 5 articles per hour on The Sussexes and only write about one or more in a day of the Working Royals in the UK, then it indicates to me, that the content of those 5 articles per hour, are not deep, did not take much if any research and could be carried out by AI.
The way that certain media groups have made bullying and harassment, together with inciting hateful behaviour on and off line in society is alarming, and what is worse, is that the UK Royal Reporters are leading the pack, with Australia in 2nd place. The target for their ire is The Duchess of Sussex, and it has gone on for 6 years and counting. People have died, or have been mentally abused by some of their activity, and many are still suffering from the trauma of the interaction with the actions of this group. People are seen as prey and it seems anything is fair game if the person is in the public eye, or individual who has emerged into the public space as a result of a life changing incident. The UK news media swoon in like hawks, ready to pick the target to pieces, even to the point of feeding off the metaphorical bones of their victim, when they are down and out with physical and psychological exhaustion. All in the name of clickbait income for their news rag and fame for themselves in the media tabloid job market.
This podcast and accompanying article looks at the development various methods of inciting hatred against a target in UK media, and some of the consequences of that activity. The podcast also touches on an international campaign looking at breaches in Human Rights across borders, and looking at new ways that this is being done, including new ways of delivery using technology.
The article will be late this week, as there is a technical glitch on my website, related to plug ins it seems. I am away on holiday at the moment, but will deal with that when i get back in a weeks time. Thank you for your patience.

This weeks podcast is focussed on the outline of James Baldwin’s life. I have mentioned him a few times in previous podcasts. Such an interesting man who also led such an interesting life. Some people said that they did not know that much about him, and have since gone off and done their own searches and some of those people are now buying his books. He was such a scholar and his mind seemed so complex. I would have loved to have met him. I decided to do this short podcast, and to give a few reference sources for those of you wish to know more.
Commissioned by Harper’s Magazine to write on the civil rights movement, Baldwin first became acquainted with Martin Luther King during a trip through the South in 1957. Baldwin’s exposure to King and southern racism had a profound influence on his writing and helped deepen his lifelong commitment to social justice.
It is also useful knowing the background of James Baldwin and his involvement in the civil rights movement to then look at whether anything has changed today, in any country, though certain countries are high on the list for a pattern of behaviour against people who they considered ‘less than’ and the UK is being exposed to a wider range of people in various parts of the world, of the dark underbelly on increasing numbers of areas, which they would prefer the world not to address it each category by its correct name.
I will finish the podcast with a few quotes and a few newspaper reports on what young people in particular think about the treatment of The Duchess of Sussex by the UK.
The differences between the two support networks could not be more stark, and is the core theme of this podcast. One supports their Duke and Duchess and all of their projects and charities, and also support similar charities in our respective localities. We are creative in some of the ways outlined in the participatory way described by researchers above, and our creations involve setting up podcast and audio channels and highlighting, discuss and further amplify Sussex news & charities. Those sections of the network who wish to include other members of the BRF into those broadcasts do so, but the focus is their interactions (good or bad) with the Sussexes.
The network who claim to be Royal supporters, only utilise Royal social media accounts to post toxic things about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Some of those comments are an utter disgrace and bring more shame on the UK. If anything adverse is posted about any other member of the Royal family, the comment is removed, or the comment section closed down on that particular topic. All toxic comments about the couple who dared to leave their Senior Royal duties due to increasing risks to their lives, are left to stand. Receipts exist going back to 2016. Supporters who claim that they are Royalists, don’t actively support any member of the BRF or their charities, not even the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who they claim to support the most. What they have been doing instead, is visiting the websites of charities that the Sussexes support and swarming and bombarding the charities with toxic vile and outright disgusting posts. Very bad indeed. This podcast explores the psychology behind the thought processes of the kind of people that co-ordinate activity of such vileness, and post such gut wrenching cruelty and nastiness and evil intent on vulnerable people, including children with life limiting conditions. As if they and their parents do not have enough to contend with already, without these evil ghouls adding to their trauma, simply because The Sussexes support the charities concerned. The same evil souls attacked veteran charities, and even did the same with Invictus which is focussed on severely injured veterans (physically or mentally or both), these people are evil beyond words and they will all reap their karma for what they have been putting out one day.
“The social structure of Britain has been highly influenced by the concept of classes. The class system is prevalent in the society of the United Kingdom in the 21st century too. The different classes were formed depending on various factors such as education levels, income and the type of occupation.
As per the norms of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, there were basically two social classes. One was called as the House of Lords, comprising of the hereditary upper class and another one was the House of Commons, representing everyone else in the British social hierarchy.
In this particular journal, we will first discuss the social system of former Britain and then the social system that is prevalent today in modern Britain.
Additional Note: There is a section in the audio where there is about a minute of silence. I was looking for a piece of information and i did not realise the recording was still running. I did use software afterwards and removed that minute of silence, and uploaded it onto here, but the format was different to what I usually use. It stated that there was an issue, but it was still uploading.. It is a format that this site could normally upload, Rather than wait any longer, I uploaded my original version with the minute silence, and it uploaded in no time at all. It is too late into the night for me to upload the amended version again in another format and then upload on to here. Please accept my apologies.
Thank you for your continued support.

NB As is usual, the article that goes along with this will be published on my website on Monday 29th late afternoon/early evening GMT I will post on YouTube when it is up on the site.
Following on from previous comments relating to where I considered the Royal Reporters to be on the Kubler Ross 7 Stages of Grief Model in 2020, it thought it worthwhile doing an update, due to all the craziness that has gone on under the guise of professional soundbites, but when in reality nothing could be described as professional behaviour in the UK media world.
I have drawn upon a number of reference sources for the opinions I state and as my way of podcasting, I back up my opinions based on research of such behaviours or outcomes previously in similar settings. I also will draw upon a small publication of my own published in 2019, and extrapolate out from the evidence and thoughts on the direction of travel that was being indicated at the time, and whether or not, any of those predictions became reality. In my 2nd book [i] I looked at the Regulatory Frameworks in place, and how useful they were in terms of the content in the media, particularly the printed media. This podcast will briefly look at the effectiveness of an industry which is self regulating, and the reactions of UK media towards anything that The Sussexes have been involved in since stepping back from Senior Royal duties (as well as the vitriolic tabloid content before The Sussexes stepped back) despite vowing that the Sussexes would be irrelevant once they stepped back from their Royal duties. I will track their movement to and from various stages of the Stages of Grief model, linked to how they have reacted daily in terms of the coverage and the methodologies used to try and secure information about Sussex activity, as well as write click bait headlines, in a way that garner emotive responses from sufficient members of the public, and possibly even (in their dreams – they wish) The Sussexes.
[i] The Duchess of Sussex: First Year As A Bi Racial Princess by Ivy Barrow. E version only. Better to wait until next book out in 18-24 months time. :-)
This podcast looks at the less than confident belief that the UK Monarchy and its partners have certain sectors of the population in their thoughts with their apparent views on those sectors. Partners in this case are, as I have stated many times in previous podcasts are as follows:- government, aristocracy, police, media – both printed and televised. As the title suggests, those perceptions are based on what each of those societal groups do, not what they say when elections are near, or any of their fellow groups mentioned are in the limelight for not so glowing reasons. As usual, each have the others backs because each of them on their own, are less powerful, than when they come together.
The extreme views held by many in these groups, and that is not assumption, there is hard evidence readily available. The protection of each other preserves and maintains the power of the group. In terms of Royal activities and the obvious push to preserve certain spaces for certain types of approved groups, I think you should always keep in mind, that when people are pushed into a corner, there comes a point when they have nowhere else to go, but force their way out of it, despite the arrows continuously coming over the hill towards them. The UK people have limited room in that metaphorical corner, so be aware.
This week’s podcast examines the phenomenon of the growth of negative coverage of one person, which developed into an industry of hate, commencing with the odd person voicing concerns, and then groups, and 2 dysfunctional families to apparently a whole nation – all according to the UK printed and televised media industry. Most of the media industry personnel who have gone on to develop increased profile careers wallowing in this cesspool of hatred have never met the person who has become their target, and none of the groups which have emerged since 2016 when the target came to the attention of the UK population, particularly those who read tabloids, have met the target either. The fact that UK media have decided to continuously abuse The Sussexes despite the fact that they stepped back from Senior Royal duties in 2020, and have been self funding for the last 2 years. There is zero reason for UK media to continue this daily focus on Sussex activity, particularly The Duchess of Sussex. The Sussexes no longer work with UK Royal Reporters, so even though there is daily content in UK media publications and tv shows, none of it is based on fact. Many times it seems that the media in the UK try to goad the Sussexes to respond, not least because it drags out a story for many more articles, and therefore, more money is earned from the drawn out nonsense. What exactly is their endgame here?
This week’s podcast looks at those institutions and businesses who live in the here and now, and pay no heed to what the future may bring. Thankfully most organisations do not operate that way, and most of those are still going strong, and those who are not, are out of the market by choice. Eg family businesses. There are, however, a number of organisations who have been used to always being present in the society that they operate in, and see no reason why this would change. History tells us that this philosophy and framework to operate in is full of flaws, and many of those household names that we have all known since our childhoods, no longer exist on the business or institutional landscapes. Why?
This podcast will explore the importance of strategic thinking and business plans based on that strategic approach, not a repeat of the same old same old, with different dates, and a few extra zeros place here and there, and call it progress and successful. Strategic thinking means looking beyond the day to day. It means not to be drawn in to what the image looks like when you look out from your business to the environment around you. Strategy is based on what you cannot immediately see, though the signs are always there. Strategy looks at trends and patterns in all of the Key Performance Indicators that a business uses to conclude the health of the business now, and its likely health in the future, if they continue with the same things.
So, if we take an organisation or entity such as the British Royal Family, and its 1000+ history, you can see why many Royalists and commentators and media people constantly say that is fine. Look how long it has survived already, and its future therefore is guaranteed. We will discuss.

As usual the article will be on the website (ivybarrow.org in Blog section) late afternoon GMT tomorrow - Monday 1st August.
This week’s podcast explores the continuous rise of The Sussexes despite the barrage of negativity that has been sent their way since the middle of 2016, and the hurdles placed frequently in front of them since their engagement and their marriage in 2018. We will touch upon the intentions behind those who placed those hurdles hoping that the couple would fail in their aims in life, and we also look at the Institutions behind the campaign of hate which has now become a high value income generator for single purpose hate accounts on social media, and a new influx of income for organisations and owners of social media platforms. Currently there are limited elements of the law that can be pursued against those inciting hate, and there are next to no legal actions that can be taken against any entity or group that decides that the income is worth the risk, which is currently low.
Against this whole industry which has sprung up on a global basis, this podcast will explore the personality traits and characteristics of The Sussexes and how they have handled, and continue to handle the many variants of hurdles and activists out there, working daily at ways to be “the one” who brings them down, particularly Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex. People openly state in UK tabloids that they wish to see the “downfall” of this couple, and be known as the person who managed it. Others make videos inciting people to end the life of the Duchess. This is the face of UK media and what its actions have encouraged these last 6 years, but all of it was done with a major underestimation of Meghan and Harry, and they definitely underestimated the Global Support Network of Sussex Squad.

As usual, thank you very much supporting the channel. The accompanying article will be up on the ivybarrow.org website on Monday afternoon of 25th July. Late afternoon GMT. It will be in the Blog section of the site.
Come and join us all at the virtual cook out on Montecito beach. Definitely no Tiaras or Castles here. Come and eat and drink and be merry. We escaped the plantation. Enjoy the sun and get the sand between your toes. Shutter island is a distant memory. Let the crabs in a bucket fight it out for the golden plastic chair that no one else wants anyway.
"Money, some people so poor all that they got is money
Oh and diamonds
Some people waste their life counting their thousands
I don’t care what they're offering,
How much gold they bring.
They can’t afford what we got,
Not even the king"
So what with our look at how relationships can alter within a family when one member of the family leaves to go set up on their own etc., there is also evidence that it is possible to split the relationships into sibling and business partner as and when it suits during the working day, but when in a home environment, family values should be apparent. I am not sure that the BRF know how to operate as a family, because family members still have to curtsy to the Queen, even if they are coming for tea and cake. The rigid rules of how and when people can do things at these so called family gatherings, and King George 6th was the first person to refer to the BRF as The Firm, so that in itself speaks volumes.
I can only see family members pitted against each other, (encouraged by a hereditary Monarchy system) and the next two heirs , as well as both trying to be in charge of the others destiny, they both have a priority to try and destroy the one who dared to walk away .
As always an accompanying article and images and reference sources will be available on the website, late afternoon on Monday 18th July, 2022. ie., ivybarrow.org In the Blog section of the website.
This weeks podcast is entitled “The Hill We Climb” which is the poem that Amanda Gorman recited at the Inauguration of Joe Biden as the President of the USA and Kamala Harris as the Vice President.
I like many people was very impressed with that recital, and I had no hesitation to pre order her book last year. It was delayed by a few weeks, but I was more than happy to obtain that beautiful publication towards the end of 2021. I bought the Audible version, and to hear Amanda herself recite her poems makes it very special to me. The book, in case any of you want to know is called “Call Us What We Carry”.
Amanda Gorman is an American poet and activist from Los Angeles, California. Amanda’s work focuses on issues of oppression, feminism, race, and marginalization, as well as the African diaspora. Amanda Gorman is the first person to be named National Youth Poet Laureate.
I decided to use the poem as a backdrop for this week’s podcast and in particular look at how the British Royal Family (BRF) and its various Associates in Crime, and The Sussexes and their Global Support Network navigate these shark infested Royal waters every day, and the reasons why we will be here every day and night, for a lifetime.
First of all, I will read out the whole poem, and then use extracts from the poem to illustrate actions of certain groups, including the Sussexes and also the global support base approach the sentiment expressed in a particular section of the poem. So here is The Hill We Climb in full.
Introduction
Re lack of emotional intelligence and the impact of that lack of awareness when one is in a senior position – in this case, senior members of the British Royal Family. The fallout from this limited view of the situation that the UK is in , and a naïve perception of the role of a Monarchy in a changing environment, and the resultant impact on the country as a whole.
What Does ‘Read the Room’ Mean?
To use one’s intuition to analyse the general mood of the people in a particular setting and act accordingly. Often used as an imperative
Eg., I’ll read the room and see if it’s the right time to have the conversation. If people already seem on edge, I’ll probably wait to bring it up.
THE FREE DICTIONARY
To understand the emotions and thoughts of the people present, especially to determine what would be appropriate or inappropriate to say or do
WIKTIONARY
To be or become aware of the opinions and attitudes of a group of people that you are talking to
CAMBRIDGE DICTIONARY
Read the room means to observe a group of people and understand their collective mood, emotions, opinions and tendencies. Read the room usually refers to a literal roomful of people, but it may mean a certain demographic or clientele
NB. The phrase originally was around in the 1970s and used by thieves to observe where things are located in the room and the access to them. In the 1990s the phrase ‘read the room’ began to be used by marketing executives to mean to understand the motivations, feeling and mood of a certain group of people.

Emotional Intelligence
In the work place context, it relates to learn how to build emotional intelligence (EQ) to improve the work space for everyone. We need emotional intelligence most where we are least likely to find it, at work. At work you don’t have the ties of love to motivate you to get along with others as you do at home. You don’t have the benefit of a shared history to help you understand what moves those around you. That makes it all the more important that you have a way to tune in to what those you work with need right here, right now. You already have that facility – it’s active awareness and the empathy that flows from it. Using those elements of your EQ can help achieve success and solve problems in that moment in time at work.
Emotional Intelligence is comprised of four elements: self awareness, self management, social awareness and relationship management. How well acquainted are you with each of these resources?
I truly believe that it dislodged concepts and beliefs and value system that have been there for a 100 years, and the family members have not quite got back into their normal ‘groove’ As a result one or two members of the family have yet to get their heads around the current situation, and in my mind they feel lost and confused, and very uncertain of how they will be in the future without the comfort blanket/footstool/ and more than anything whipping boy by his side for as long as he wants him to be there. Yes I am referring to Prince William. I think he is deeply unsettled about his position and his future, without the footstool he expected to be around.

This week’s podcast examines the phenomenon of the growth of negative coverage of one person, which developed into an industry of hate, commencing with the odd person voicing concerns, and then groups, and 2 dysfunctional families to apparently a whole nation – all according to the UK printed and televised media industry. None of the media industry personnel who have gone on to develop increased profile careers wallowing in this cesspool of hatred have met the person who has become their target, and none of the groups which have emerged since 2016 when the target came to the attention of the UK population, particularly those who read tabloids, have met the target either. Apparently UK media speak for the whole country, as they like to run polls with very carefully worded content,
The printed media industry in particular was dying, and many publications have gone to that place where print media is buried, and now there is a revival of income, if the articles contain hate, or encourage hateful behaviour, and most of all, far more income is made if it contains their target. All those printed media have a dedicated tab on their front pages containing the name of their target/s. The two targets are linked, likewise family members, but the main target for all the categories to focus on is one person.
In a news item this morning, there was a report on a different subject, but the newscaster posed a question, and gave two examples which illustrated his point. The newscaster/presenter posed a question which was: “ Why are this lot trying to make enemies of our neighbours?
The Global Reparations Movement is advocating in a very different way. It looks at slavery as being a world issue, not just an issue for where slaves were placed. It is regarded as a world issue because the world benefited from slavery in some way, whether or not they had slaves working in their countries. It has been said many times already in the limited research I could do for this topic, that if the same atrocities occurred today, it would be classed as genocide and a serious breach in human rights on a global scale. This movement and its linked groups believe that there is more chance of breakthrough by using a global approach, not placing the responsibility solely on individual countries and their governments.
“We are not responsible for what happened in the past – that does not mean we have no responsibility now.”
Ivy
Todays podcast is the 2nd part of 3 publications relating to the subject of reparations and whether or not it is relevant or realistic to even contemplate any form of reimbursement for the cruel treatment and atrocities that took place in history, not least because the people alive today were not the perpetrators at that time. That is just one view, but thankfully, there are many others which include both many individuals benefitted greatly from the slavery trade, but what needs to be recognised is that whole countries and their economies improved too, and therefore we perhaps need to move away from thinking about individuals and start to look at and consider nations which did very well out of the slave trade and those nations have continued to thrive as a direct result of the foundations built on the backs of slaves. Equally the countries where slaves were removed from, along with the countries where the slaves were placed to work for free, benefited the slave owners and the owners of plantations. The twisting of the knife was when slavery apparently officially ended, the people and the countries who were awarded financial damages for the loss of their slaves benefitted again on the backs of those slaves, and the countries whose economies were decimated by the slave trade now had the additional burden now placed on them to be charged for the payments to the stated slave owners for their loss of income. Now we had a situation whereby those involved in the slave trade were compensated twice, and the victims of the slave trade were punished twice. On the same school of thought, as outlined in the podcast last week (part one) whole countries benefitted from the slave trade; industries grew from it, and the at every stage of the supply train, there were businesses employing local workers and building their businesses (sometime empires) on the back of the slave trade. On the same token, slaves who were captured initially never had the same prospects, and most did not live to see slavery abolished anyway. Their descendants ,ever became wealthy now that the slavery trade was no more – officially – and the countries left with depleted resources now had the added burden of being weighed down by huge debts, that were placed on each country concerned, in order to pay damages to the slave owners and business owners who creamed off profits from the free labour of people forced to work for them for no pay in the first place.
Rich countries got richer, and poorer countries never got the chance to be on a level playing field in the game of compensation, and their economies have continue to suffer because of the decades of repayment of the debt to people who used their slaves for their own gains, and with never a thought about the fact that people were taken to various parts of the world by force.

This week’s podcast, and the next two podcasts will explore different perspectives of the topic of various countries who were involved in the slave trade of history, with all the suffering and inhumane treatment of certain groups of society that took place, and was very much part of the fabric of those nations. Reparations for the countries and its people who suffered in the clutches of this vile process, has long since been an issue for those countries who suffered economically and who were made to continue suffering for years afterwards, whilst those nations who were responsible for the cruelty to people and the pillaging of artefacts and resources from those poorer nations, continued to become rich in resources that did not belong to them in the first place. The inhumanity continued long after the industry of ‘slavery’ officially ended. It is noticeable that the voices that tell areas of the worlds population that everyone should just forgive and forget, because it all happened so long ago, are the same ones who benefited from that system whilst it was in operation. Those countries also ensured that slave owners and plantation owners were also compensated for the loss of their human stock item! Now when conversations are started on the huge immoral disconnect between those who suffered in every way imaginable, and those who benefited from the process, still throughout history, they and their nations continue to profit off the suffering of slaves and their subsequent generations and their countries of birth/heritage. All those involved in that inhumane industry when slavery was abolished in each country were compensated for their losses, and the countries left behind saddled with debt. This series of podcasts will set out the case why this will not be forgotten, and all those countries who demanded and some continue to receive to this day, payments from countries impoverished by the slave trade and who continue to live a lower standard of living than otherwise would be necessary if those countries could invest in their own economies. There will be a follow up podcast later in the year.
The article will be published tomorrow as usual, and it will contain reference sources at the end, which cover this and the remaining two podcasts in this series.

This weeks podcast is all about the Monarchy and its lack of planning for the future. I refer to Workforce in it most simplest and basic of forms, because I am almost certain that the British Royal Family do not know what a Workforce Plan is, and if they do, they would not use one. At best they would have documentation somewhere with the appropriate headings, but pay no attention to it. So, for the purpose of this podcast, and to find a way to give comments about the age profile (among many other things) of the ‘promoted’ Magnificent 7 by UK Media, in various computations, as being the group to fill the role of Prince Harry who stepped back from Senior Royal duties and removed his family and himself to a safer environment and one which would be better for their mental health. Apparently stepping back from tax payer funded duties has put the Monarchy at risk. Really? One person leaving an establishment, means the business is going to fold? What were the rest of the Seniors doing all these years, and at taxpayer expense? In their eagerness to appear as if ‘nothing to see hear folks’ and all is well, UK media have been going on ever since how they as a group, and at times the two least impactful duo within that group, are declared as saviours of the Monarchy, or in some reports, the “secret weapons”. Lets have a simple meander through Workforce Planning, and Succession Planning as part of the process.
The Royal Family are a family but they are also referred to as The Firm. This Name dates back to the time of King George 6th, Queen Elizabeth’s father. The Firm is an informal title for the British Royal Family and its associated institutions, including the courtiers, staff and working Royals ‘that keep the business of the Monarchy functioning.’ It is said that King George made a statement that he and the rest of the Royals were “not a family, we’re a firm”.
70% of the Magnificent 7 are approaching State Retirement Age or well past it. The remaining 30% have no completed projects to their name, after a decade of working on a number. One project has produced 5 questions apparently relating to child development, and a research unit is/has been set up on Royal grounds, and to date no information has emerged from the secret team who are apparently based there. There was a recent award given to one of the 7 linked to an Environment project. A topic that none of the British Royal Family is exempt from being required to comply with the legislation. The award given by an organisation where the prize winner is the President of the said organisation, and who the former Head of the organisation now works for the BRF in Kensington Palace. Does not exude much belief that the 7 have all matters in hand.
With the age profile of this group a cause for concern, i would say no Succession Plan is in place. The podcast gives a few tips of things that may be of interest to the Monarchy management teams.
The Accompanying article and various reference sources, including free templates and guides on how to approach workforce and succession planning in a basic format will be published late Monday afternoon/early evening - 23rd May 2022.

The Twilight Zone was a TV series that first appeared on our screens in 1959. The idea for this unique tv template was the brainchild of an Emmy award winning writer, Rod Sterling. Rod Sterling became the host and wrote around 80 of the 150+ episodes that aired. Descriptions are abundant on the internet, including this one, “It is a strange mix of horror, science-fiction, drama, comedy and superstition. Sterling introduced each episode, and many of the black and white episodes concluded with a surprise ending. Actors such as Burt Reynolds, Roddy McDowell and Robert Redford made appearances in some of the more well known stories.”
The first series ran from 1959 to 1964. 2nd series ran from 1985 to 1989. In 2019 a new Twilight Zone TV series was developed based on the 1959 series. The narrator for this new series was one of the developers, named Jordan Peele. This new series aired on CBS All Access and was renewed for a 2nd series part of the way through its first 10 episodes. The 2nd series ended in 1921.
The similarities with the British institution of a Monarchy, seems very clear to me, but I suspect that whilst many of you have thought of The Firm in a variety of ways, perhaps a TV series known for content such as the cocktail I outlined at the beginning of this article, was not one of them. When you read through the topics that were subjects in the 2019 series, you may reconsider. Just like the original series each episode dealt with a different topic, looking at topics such as supernatural occurrences, racism, social issues, misinformation in the press. There is a previous SGUK podcast describing and outlining the difference between Misinformation and Disinformation. In its simplest form, I use the following words to remind me of the difference, :- Misinformation is presented as fact because no effort is made to check if it is indeed factual information, whereas disinformation is deliberately deceptive, never gives details of a source for the information because they know there is none to back up the information presented, and therefore naturally it cannot be verified. It is used in the media to distract from more important newsworthy items, and deliberately sends people down rabbit holes of needless discussion, whilst the truth about other matters go under the radar.
This weeks podcast explores and ponders on the extraordinary behaviour of UK media when it come to the Sussexes, in particular Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex. Activity that I as a non legal person considers it to be obsessional, dangerous, and in breach of multiple areas of UK and International Law. I consider these continual actions, to be carried out for purely self serving purposes. No regard is paid to the target/s and none of the possible outcomes are positive. One would think that following on from the demise of Princess Diana, and how all that treatment that ultimately resulted in tragedy, it would seem that nothing has been learnt from those years. The growth and reach of various social media platforms has given those who want to cause harm and deterioration in the mental health of its targets, has seen additional weapons used to destroy their prey.
I will use the following approach in the structure of this podcast.
· Highlight a range of dictionary definitions of what I believe the behaviours of UK media (working on behalf of the British Royal Family as part of the “invisible contract”) is deemed to be.
· Descriptions of Stalking
· Descriptions of Harassment
· Categories of Stalking and the underlying motives
o Raise concerns why so many UK media are vested in talking/writing about The Duke and Duchess of Sussex in a hate inciting manner, most days of the week, as if they are a jilted ex partner, or a family member who perceives that they have lost control of their prey, by the boundaries now in place, to reduce the risk of harm, or negative impact on their mental health, or worst case scenario, loss of life.
· The Psychology of Stalking
· The definition of Parasite
· Why UK Media Feel Threatened by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex
· Jane Elliott and the Blue Eyes and Brown Eyes experiment & how the UK faired compared to other groups.
- Definitions of Obsession
- The Suzy Lamplugh Trust
International Legal Platforms

Leaving a toxic environment where a whole country establishment are intent on trying to destroy your character and mental health every day, is not a crime. No one can be called and treated like a traitor because you chose safety of your family and improvement in your mental health. It is not duty to be born into a regime where you have limited choices and where you are told you can never leave. That is modern slavery in an opulent setting. The scandal is that UK taxpayers are funding a plantation behind gilded gates, and have no problem with the regime inside. A regime where children are brought into the world whose main function is to ensure the Monarchy structure continues to exist. People given positions which impact on the general public, without any skill, but purely based on the order of birth. That is the scandal, and after 1000 years, it is time for sensible people to look at this for what it is. Enjoy the history but accept that times have changed, and there is no credible reason that exists to continue these slave like practices, and even worse, demand those people who are living in abject poverty in too many cases, to pay for a figurehead family, that has gone past its use by date. That is the biggest scandal and it needs rectifying.
Sussex Squad knew that they would be a huge success, and there was no way they would be returning to an abusive environment, and raise their children in such toxicity that had existed for centuries in UK Royal palace life. In that first year, the Sussexes secured lucrative business deals and purchased their first home. UK still refused to accept that not everyone considers being a member of the Royal family the ultimate pinnacle of life. The Royal family and its media took (and still do) the rejection badly, and have been throwing tantrums and cruel actions ever since. What kind of person could fail to recognise that the ship had sailed?
If Royal Reporting was honest as opposed to writing things which ensure that they can put food on their tables the following month, it would be factual to state if Harry stepping back from senior Royal duties, causes the UK Monarchy to reach an end, then it says more about the lack lustre, lack of competency, and zero charisma of the remaining Royals that will bring on its demise. One member of the family leaving a truly successful organisation, would not cause it to fold.
I believe, with my non legal brain, that the action of ‘sending refugees to Rwanda’ to be ‘processed’ is a breach of Human Rights legislation but the white refugees treated differently. The treatment of the women of Grenfell in the media was vastly different to the rest of the patronages. The treatment of commonwealth countries is different dependent upon skin colour. The treatment of the only person of colour to enter the UK Royal family is vastly different to any other member who has married in. The absolutely daily onslaught by UK media on the Sussexes and in particular Meghan is in breach of so many areas of law, yet not one legal ‘expert’ in the UK has stepped up and challenged the UK stance, and for that matter the established International Forums usually cherry pick the nations where they intervene, and say nothing about the others. I would argue that a high profile case such a member of the UK Royal family being treated so badly on UK soil and then on USA soil since 2016, is something that I find unjustifiable to be ignored. Meghan and Harry’s treatment is the tip of a growing iceberg of people who are in no position to challenge their abusers, and who in some cases have taken their own lives out of despair, and others are heavily impacted by growing mental health issues. The Duchess herself had suicidal ideation, and was refused assistance by the Royal Family because it would be embarrassing for the family?? The Sussexes miscarried a baby in the middle of a very nasty and insidious campaign of the content of reporting on the Sussexes, and when a Royal Reporter admitted on camera and in a podcast that they were in close contact with the Royal Human Resources team, and they were aware of Meghan’s suicidal ideation, rather than back down, the Royal Reporters doubled down on the onslaught. What was the end game here? The Sussexes are part of a much wider group of people who are suffering, and the global community needs to step up or step aside and let others take the reigns to tackle these new methods of co-ordinated and financed groups and the social media platforms and channel owners who are making telephone number profits from inciting hatred and describing it as freedom of speech. The online methodology is enabling coercive control activity to cross borders. ie abuser based in a different country to the person or people they are abusing. Time for action.
As you know I like to use academic models on occasions to give a framework to various types of human behaviour, and I considered what it would be like to use a well known story around the world, for a similar purpose. The difference being the audience is an adult one, and the framework is a childhood fairy tale. I use that approach to explain how character building takes place in the first phase, in this case Meghan’s childhood, and then university and then onto the continued drive to be a success in her career, and throughout this period from childhood to adult life, becoming involved in equality issues from a very early age (as we all know) and how that developed with her drive to think of others less fortunate than herself, and to explore ways that she could help. Developing a set of skills along the way, that she would find very useful in her living environment, and definitely enabled her to hold her own, in the middle section of this story on human development and inner strength and learning how to read a room.
Extracts from the website I used (We Have Kids) link is in the References Sources, and which was the seed that started to germinate an idea in my mind for this podcast. Looking at how a simple globally well known children’s story can be used as a framework to position certain personality traits and experiences from childhood, which carry through into adult life and the curve balls that life throw us along the way.
As usual the article will be out on my website tomorrow (late) afternoon, which will contain a list of reference sources, should any of you wish to explore some topics further.

This week’s podcast looks at organisational obsolescence, and the indicators to recognise and understand Obsolescence Risk. If these red flags are not recognised and dealt with at an early point in the process, any business is liable to fail at some point in the future – beyond the practical stage of being able to throw a few changes at the problem with the hope that the business can carry on.
We will explore, in a simple format a series of signs, that need to be recognised and strategic plans made to ensure the longevity of the business in question. We will cover the following areas of business planning and use all of that information to look at the last few Monarchies left in the world, and take a closer look at the UK Monarchy, and map it across to the main points of discussion leading up to different types of Monarchies and look at where the UK Monarchy fits into the roadmap, and to form an opinion about its longevity.
NB:- The article accompanying this podcast will be published in the usual way tomorrow afternoon (GMT) on the website ivybarrow.org in the Blog section. The podcast, like all of my podcasts is also shown in video format including a series of slides on YouTube on the Sussex Global UK Channel. You can access video podcasts on YT from my site in the podcast section, and all the podcasts i did for Meghanpedia can be accessed from my site too. It will link directly to YouTube, so Meghanpedia will still rightly collect the statistics re viewing for their section, and views to the SGUK videos will stay with my channel.

The tradition of the Uk Monarchy is to be performative and to have two shining ‘stars’ in the family was just one step too far. As unbelievable as it sounds, those fragile egos of those who deemed the spotlight should only shine on them, and if a light had to shine on the Sussexes, it needed to be less bright. The Sussex projects had to be agreed beforehand by the family and could not outshine any of the performative efforts by the others, but in particular the two heirs. There was this false belief that the reporting on any of the heirs, if an engagement was undertaken by anything that the Sussexes were doing, always faired badly in comparison – hence the requirement to co-ordinate the dates of future engagement. One would assume that the reporting figures about Royal engagements done without anything done by the Sussexes would be high but that was not the case. The simple truth of the matter, was and remains that the Sussexes attract a much wider audience and interest in their activities than the rest of the UK Royal Family combined, including the both heirs. That is the problem for the BRF. The Sussexes appealed to more people.
BRF you have the stage all to yourselves. The spotlight that you craved is shining brightly on all of you, particularly the Magnificent 7. As that total reduces, even more will be exposed under the spotlight. The new game of throwing each other under the bus, as opposed to Harry or Meghan or both, is actively in play now. The spotlight is showing the world what is happening, and can only imagine what was done to the Sussexes away from the spotlight.
My thoughts on this matter is this, BRF who is sorry now?

As per usual the article and the slides from the video podcast on You Tube will be up on my website tomorrow afternoon GMT in the Blog Tab. https://ivybarrow.org Thank you for your continued support.
All of the SGUK podcasts to date have been divided into categories, and each category relates to one or more of the key areas of focus listed on the Archewell Foundation website. All of the podcasts and their accompanying articles relate to am Archewell priority area of activity. The largest area percentage wise of topics contained within the podcasts come under the heading of Legal matters, stating areas where the law exists and where there is evidence of a complete disregard to the law when it comes to Harry and Meghan, and no doubt to members of the wider population. All of the behaviour towards the Sussexes, and those responsible for the roll out of such activity, all comes under the main heading of breaches in Human Rights Legislation.
This international Call to Action centres on a number of areas within that framework. Due to the nature and hostility shown to anyone or organisation who is involved with or supports The Sussexes, it is not wise to give out details of this campaign publicly yet, but it will become public in due course I am sure, and it will not be a Sussex supporter that brings matters to light.
It was clear that no one in the UK could be approached for assistance with this campaign, not least because none of the organisations which are officially known to be there to challenge breaches in the law, on a specific area, and where one or both of the Sussexes and their children have been the target of certain activities, have publicly come forward to offer support. As a result, a list of international legal experts, and specialists and advocates, authors and elected officials, community groups doing the work on the ground, along with recognised centres of excellence in Human Rights legislation, based in many countries, will be receiving an Information Pack over the next 3-4 weeks, commencing this week. There are other categories of recipients, but this is just to give the audience an idea.
It is hoped that some or all of these recipients will begin dialogue with others in this formidable group, and in doing so, create another tier of expertise to liaise with the existing International Human Rights forums, to discuss ways in which current practices, can be updated to reflect the growth of such matters as hate groups online, and the implications and risks to their practices, and such areas as stalking, harassment and bullying across borders as well as in the same country as the perpetrators, all need to be addressed. Risk to life is high and increasing, and the knock on effect to mental health provision globally is huge. The majority of those on the receiving end of such treatment are not in a position to defend themselves; they do not have the means to challenge the abuse and suffer in silence or worse. The legislation is there and everyone is entitled to protection under the law. This is a campaign to hopefully generate meaningful cross country discussions which will lead to activity with outcomes.
Tools and Strategies That Media Use to Influence People
“In a totalitarian state, it doesn’t matter what people think, since the government can control people by force using a bludgeon. But when you can’t control people by force, you have to control what people think, and the standard way to do this is via propaganda.”

Todays podcast, expands on topics we have previously discussed in SGUK podcasts to date, ie Dysfunctional family dynamics, Group Dynamics, in particular the levels of control and how hatred and discriminatory behaviour patterns begin to merge, and how there is a wealth of academic research into how the hatred grows, and the levels in the structure dictate the application of that professed hatred. We explored how those that progress through the ranks of their group structure, emerges as a validation of their worth in their own eyes, and feel that there is a level of camaraderie and friendship that does not exist outside that bubble. There is a general feeling that anyone outside of the group is a threat in some way, and the delusion grows into dangerous proportions with time and progression through the group. We also looked at how narcissists function in such a structure, and the mixing of the various behaviours at play, form a very toxic ticking time bomb. We looked at a number of academic models and their application out in the working environments. Examples were given of how for example, the FBI use a range of tools which help to identify patterns and growth in certain groups behaviour, that have remained on their radar as a result. The range of tools include two of the models that we discussed and which I will refresh your memories with images of the two models in question, later in this article. I have also revisited family dynamics and in particular the British Royal Family and its treatment of Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and debated the accurate reasons for the type of scrutiny and treatment of the Sussexes, as opposed to the official reasons given by way as a supposed rationale. I will revisit briefly the role of Royal Reporters in this framework of hunter and prey activity, which stems from the top of the societal structure, and how it has encouraged people who are not deemed to be in those elite groups of society, but who have been emboldened to pursue targeted prey, not least because they see it happening every day at the top levels in UK society, and to make it even better for them, they have discovered that inciting hatred is income generating for these groups, and it is condoned by the social media platforms that they operate on, because they also make huge profits from that activity.
PS/ As usual, the full article which accompanies this podcast, will be up on my website in the Blog section, together with a number of images of the Academic models referred to in the podcast, and a summary list of Reference Sources from various websites which cover all the topics discussed in the podcast and article. website is: ivybarrow.org

This weeks podcast is part of Black History Month in the USA. The UK version takes place in the Autumn, throughout October.
As this podcast channel encompasses global issues, and as it is based in the UK, I am honouring the USA Black History month, and covering the UK origin of the channel, by opting to highlight and celebrate the achievements of black people based in the UK around the Tudor period.
The Tudor period was between 1485 -1603. To put this era into perspective consider a few major figures and events of the time. Christopher Columbus was serving up insurmountable destruction on the “New World”. The Transatlantic Slave trade was born. Michelangelo paints the Sistine Chapel. Henry VIII, well you know; doing his thing. Niccolo Machiavelli wrote The Prince, and The Art of War, amongst others. And Elizabeth I became queen.
Now we have a clearer idea of the era, consider this, Tudor England as it turns out was not lacking in diversity as we have been led to believe. The conception of black people only settling in Britain during the 20th Century, the Windrush being the most highlighted so-called influx is a complete misrepresentation of our history. From popular culture at least, we know that there were black people in Roman Britain, serving in the army or as slaves. But there are records which show hundreds, possibly a thousand free black people living and contributing to Tudor society.
PS:- As usual, there is an accompanying article, with more details about each of the people mentioned in the podcast and all the slides and additional images, and a long list of reference source sites, if you wish to explore any aspect further. The article will be up on the website, tomorrow (Monday 14th) and it will be in the Blog section of this website:- ivybarrow.org

Todays podcast is a little different to the usual style. At the heart of the podcast is the famous speech by Martin Luther King Jr in 1963, which followed on 100 years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing slaves. When Martin Luther King climbed the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC to describe his vision of America. More than 200,000 people (black and white) came to listen. I quote from one publication (included in the Reference Sources at the end of the article accompanying this podcast):- “they came by plane, by car, by bus, by train and by foot. They came to Washington to demand equal rights for black people, and the dream that they heard on the steps of the Monument became the dream of a generation.”
The original speech that Martin Luther King intended to give was meant to be quite short, but he was asked by another speaker on the day, to talk about his dreams. I will touch on that request and quote sections from the famous speech, and highlight the key themes that stand out for me, in terms of the implications and hopes of equal rights for black people in the USA. Juxtaposed with these extracts I am simultaneously commenting on relative activity in the UK such as legislation passed in a similar time frame, which is connected in some way to the topic in question. I also comment on systems and processes and attitudes publicly referred to, relative to the British Royal Family and its interaction with people, linked to legislation in force at the time, but the Royal Family ignored or were exempt from!!
There is another link in the Reference Sources where you can hear the full speech spoken by Martin Luther King himself. Still as powerful as it was on that day I am sure. It lasts around 17 minutes. Not that I could even do it justice to recite the whole thing, but you all can listen to the original recording of this famous speech at your leisure, by clicking on the link at the end of the article.

This weeks podcast refers to the televised game show of Royal It’s a Knockout, which took place in the late 80s, and appears to have morphed into a game of Musical Chairs, with jealousy and envy the guiding force. Yes, cosplay was in full force for the televised tournament for charity, and continues in its fake heroes to the international game of disappearing chairs which is designed to see who is the last person standing. There are still a few images from the gameshow that have not been erased from the internet. This accompanying article will make you smile when you see some of the costumes. Not a lot has changed in terms of playing dress up but like the Hunger Games podcast, the losers here are intended to be victims. What most of the protagonists have yet to realise, is that it all depends on who is in charge of the music.

A light hearted look at 3 mothers, who are connected to the British Monarchy, either directly or via marriage, and whose children appear to have ruffled the Royal establishment figures and protocols, following in two cases, like their respective mothers did – purely by being themselves. In all 3 family stories, the element of people of colour plays a role, and the way the British Monarchy reacted to people who had independent thoughts, is very similar over the centuries.
I keep on seeing people from various corners of the planet, who regularly do things that others would be challenged about, and in some cases, have legal action taken against them. In all cases, the class system appears to play a part in terms of the ‘turning of a blind eye’ to certain actions, because some people are seen as above the law, or their behaviour is seen as a grain of sand in an otherwise trouble free existence. Good character etc etc. Some people anyway. If we explore this category further, we can further subdivide the perpetrators, and do the same with the people they target.
For the regular perpetrators of certain categories of acts, with research, it is possible to see even more patterns and trends, of both the perpetrators and also the people they choose to be on the receiving end of their behaviour.
In the UK we have a system that has a number of groups seen to be at the top of the societal matrix, and as such, the power they hold and wield, enables them to appear exempt from being held to account for anything. Most of them rarely appear in the press, and if they do, the language used is very different to someone else behaving in the same manner, but who fall outside of those societal groups. The groups being, Government, Monarchy, Aristocracy, Media – printed and televised, Law Enforcement.

This weeks podcast (and accompanying article on my website) looks at a selection of Sussex key dates in 2021 & 2022, focussing on the UK media practice of misinformation or disinformation about each one, with the intent to distract from actual newsworthy editorial that should be reported on. We have plenty to look forward to in 2022 with many key events in the calendar. Be prepared for the distraction tactics to go up a gear or two. UK RRs are currently having dry baths in the ashes that they claimed to wish for, ie the apparent popularity of the relics of UK Monarchy. We know that they only eat when they insert the name of Harry or Meghan into their fake headlines, as they continue to scrape the barrel of UK Royal activity in their effort to make fetch happen. At least one RR was based in Montecito over the festive period, in the hope of acquiring Sussex news no doubt. No news of whether or not Shipwreck is still sailing USA waters. It is beyond ironic that UK RRs who are paid to write about the tax funded Royals and their projects in the UK and the Commonwealth, are focussing on trying to secure a support network in the USA, which is not a Commonwealth nation and which went to great lengths to remove themselves from UK interference. It is like a parody of how to find yet another way to spend UK tax funds on things which do not fall within the remit of UK Monarchy. Could it be, that they hope to share the spotlight with the couple that the British Royal Family and its media hounded out of the UK and continue to describe the Sussexes as irrelevant?

What do you call someone who is chasing power and eager to control everything and everyone? What happens when the lines become blurred in a Constitutional Monarchy and the Elected Government of the country? The evidence exists about the weakness of the current Monarchy in the future. Please join us on Sunday 2nd January 2022, where I will discuss a series of scenarios and actions that have already occurred and the signs of credible developments in the future in the UK. There are examples where Monarchies have disappeared from the landscape of their countries and the reasons why others will continue to sail rocky seas. I will not name people in the UK group – I will leave that up to others to decide who I am referring to – though a few are pretty obvious.

This is a preamble around Human Rights legislation – both International and local. I hope that at the end of this piece, increasing numbers of people begin to question what is going on here. I will refer to a few elements of the legislation but I have also included sections which I hope give food for thought which will lead you to question other implications. I will discuss the abusive behaviour disguised as journalism and the mirroring of patterns of behaviour when an media partners or family members (include in this group, members of the British Royal Family and their senior staff) follow the actions of an abusive perpetrator, and when that does not work, the course of actions will be explained and you will see how closely they match with what is described in law as illegal. If the abused shows signs of thinking about leaving, all manor of negative scenarios are described to the victim in an effort to make them stop thinking of escape. If the victim does escape, then sinister methods are employed to make them return to the abuse that they know. If that does not work, then all attempts are made to defame them in the public eye; the victim or victims cannot be seen to succeed. If years later this abuse is continuing, and now includes children of the targets, then more than one boundary has been crossed, and another representative needs to step in before a life or lives are lost.
In the case of Harry and Meghan and their young family, I have stated several times in previous podcasts, this couple are up against powerful forces. Ie the UK Monarchy, the Government, Media both written and televised, Aristocracy, and Police.
In February 2021 UK media had a field day rejoicing in the fact that the Sussexes were “stripped” of “their Royal patronages”, after they confirmed that they would not be returning as working members of the Royal Family.
Most logically minded people worked out that Harry and Meghan were not returning to the UK, when they left the UK in November 2019 for a six week break from the daily venom spouted by UK Media and hate groups encouraged by the same media, towards the couple. In January 2020 Harry announced that they were stepping back from Senior Royal duties. It later transpired that most of their belongings from Frogmore Cottage had been removed, and Archie and the family dogs had all travelled out of the UK in November 2019. It was at this point that the Kubler Ross model of the 7 Stages of Grief described wonderfully the reactions and behaviour of the Royal Family and its Associates in the media, and following in the smoke flowing from each group, the haters followed along wondering how their prey had escaped.
The Queen and other Members of the Royal Family lend their names and much of their time to many different charities and organisations. Currently, over 3,000 organisations list a member of the Royal Family as their patron or president.
Giving Evidence produced a report in 2020 outlining the outcomes of research undertaken about the added value, if any, for those charities with or seeking a Royal Patron. Giving Evidence conducts robust research on a wide range of charitable organisations, on behalf of donors and charities, to help with decision making.
· “74% of charities with a Royal Patron did not get any public engagements with them the previous year. Ie 2019.”
o Only 1% of charities which have a Royal patron got more than one public engagement with them during 2019.
In the podcast we will explore private and Royal charities and engagement. My conclusion is that service is universal and is not confined to be delivered by a chosen few. Those in need of assistance in some way, will not be worried about who is offering genuine and tangible help.
There is an accompanying article with the podcast, which will be available on my website (ivybarrow.org) from 9pm GMT onwards on 5th December 2021. If i can upload the slides in the article, i will do so in the video podcast on You Tube, and it will also be on my website in the Podcast section. The article will be in the Podcast Blog section.

This weeks podcast looks at the Language of Propaganda and the techniques used in UK media. Propaganda is the dissemination of information – whether that be, facts, arguments, rumours, half-truths or lies - with the aim to influence public opinion. UK tabloid media, is now globally known for leading the way in the dissemination of information in this way, and is the medium of choice for the UK Royal Family. I will give illustrations of how it has manifested over the last 5 years and how it has weakened the Monarchy itself. The reality is a hole was dug hoping the Sussexes would fall in, and be out of sight, but one by one, those who helped with the digging, have been falling in themselves, and the rest are balancing on the edge. Karma is making visits.
Ivy
PS More detail, including diagrams and images used in or illustrating propaganda techniques and posters etc, together with a list of reference sources, for you to do further research of your own, will be included in the article.

There are three sources of funding for The Queen, or officials of the Royal Household acting on Her Majesty’s behalf, in both a public and private capacity. These are: the Sovereign Grant, the Privy Purse and The Queen’s personal wealth and income.
The Sovereign Grant
This is the amount of money provided by Government to the Royal Household in support of The Queen’s official duties, including the maintenance of the Occupied Royal Palaces: Buckingham Palace, St James’s Palace, Clarence House, Marlborough House Mews, the residential and office areas of Kensington Palace, Windsor Castle and the buildings in the Home and Great Parks at Windsor, and Hampton Court Mews and Paddocks.
The Sovereign Grant is provided by HM Treasury and consolidates the funding previously provided through the Civil List and the Property Services, Communications and Information and Royal Travel Grants-in-aid. HM Treasury is responsible for monitoring the application of the Sovereign Grant in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between HM Treasury and the Royal Household.
The first Annual Report covering the new arrangements under the Sovereign Grant was for the year to 31 March 2013 and was published in June 2013. The most recent Annual Report can be found on the Royal Family website. Link below.
Privy Purse and Duchy of Lancaster This is a historical term used to describe income from the Duchy of Lancaster, which is used to meet both official and private expenditure by The Queen.
The Duchy of Lancaster is a portfolio of land, property and assets held in trust for the Sovereign in his/her role as Sovereign. It is administered separately from the Crown Estates.
Its main purpose is to provide an independent source of income, and is used mainly to pay for official expenditure not met by the Sovereign Grant (primarily to meet expenses incurred by other members of the Royal Family
Prince Charles has stated for many years now that the number of people within the Royal Family in receipt of public funds needs to be reduced. This podcast looks at those members of the family who are in receipt of funds and those who receive income from other nominated funds belonging to the Queen. Most of the people on the official list are non Working Royals, or who at best have small number of duties each year.
This podcast does a quick summary of the Funds and who is in receipt of what and quote from the last three years published accounts. More detail and images and web links will be in the article on my website within 24 hours of the podcast airing tonight, and some of those images will be on display on You Tube from 8pm GMT tonight as well.

Introduction
The request for the subject of this podcast came from a Subscriber to the channel. The Subscriber had heard and read about some tales of the existence of people of colour during that period, but as I also found out from my short research, and using a phrase used by the present British Royal Family, when a situation is uncomfortable to talk about or to admit that a particular situation or approach to people of colour moving in such circles, the phrase “recollections may vary” seemed to be prevalent in the limited research material I could find.
This weeks podcast highlights and gives examples of non white people living in Tudor and Stuart times in the UK, and who were not yet classed as slaves. People of colour were part of the population, mainly living in the countryside, and working on the land or employed in areas where their specialist skills were needed. Black Tudors were deemed no worse off than many white ones. Black people were acknowledged as citizens rather than loathed as outcasts.
The podcasts final section looks at the emergence of black elite in modern times, and we look at the top 20 black billionaires from around the world, and refer to a couple who are giving back to society in some way. They are not the only two, but i mention just as examples of how things have moved on from circa 1500s and where certain spaces appear to be designated for certain groups in society but not others, increasing numbers of people in various societal groups can now carve out their own spaces, and are doing more than just fine, and managing to help others in the process, without using tax payer funds.
A very interesting topic and one which I would like to revisit and spend much much longer on researching deeper into the subject. I have given more detail in the article, and over 20 web links to help anyone who wishes to find out more, will give you a starting point for your searches. The article will be up on my website within 24 hours of the podcast airing at 8pm on 07/11/21. website is ivybarrow.org. Just look in the Podcast Blogs section.
This episode discusses findings of a recent investigation into hate filled social media posts and to explore whether or not this activity is increasing organically or whether it is occurring by organised groups. This is a headline summary of the findings:-
* 55 Primary Hate Accounts, with 28 Secondary accounts that amplified the Primary accounts.
* Combined following of both sets of accounts totalled 187,631
* These 83 accounts were responsible for 70% of the hate content relating to the Sussexes.
* The researchers looked at followers, retweets and mentions to identify mentions of other accounts that were part of the same network.
* Combined unique potential reach of 17,000,000 users.

The laws exist for a reason. International laws exist for a reason. If not, just disband all the international organisations who on paper have the power to intervene, or is it that they only intervene on less wealthy people’s behalf, or regimes who are abusive and who are also POC? I have zero faith in the UK legal bodies who have chosen to protect themselves rather than take on the establishment. If the international bodies are the same, then lets all shut up shop and go home, and let the revolution begin, and natural selection take out those who are not popular. Let’s recreate Mad Max or The Matrix or The Hunger Games in the modern age.
The majority of this narrative about the Dukes of Sussex centres more on the first Duke, not least to prepare the ground for the comparisons and similarities with the present day, of which we already know so much. So please bear with me as I spend time on the summary of the first Duke. Along the way you will each most likely identify things that link to Prince Harry’s situation in some way or another. There is truly a wealth of information out there about most members of the British Royal family going back centuries. This podcast barely touches the surface of the information about the 12 siblings of the first Duke of Sussex, let alone the information about his parents, whose mother was considered to mixed race by a few brave historians, but on the whole most historians did not comment about it. You may have noticed, if any of your watched the Netflix series Bridgerton, that Queen Charlotte was in fact as a person of colour without actually referring to the fact.
Historical Data re Dukedom Title and Ownership
The Duke of Sussex title has only ever been used twice in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The current Duke of Sussex is Prince Harry, and the previous holder of the title was Prince Augustus Frederick, the 6th son of King George III. Prince Augustus was given the title of the Duke of Sussex on 24th November 1801, along with the following titles:- Baron Arklow and Earl of Inverness.
· Baron Arklow was a title in the Peerage of the UK that has also been created twice. Arklow is a town in County Wicklow in Ireland.
o The Baron Arklow was created again on 24th May 1881. The last person to hold this title was Prince Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
· Earl of Inverness was first created in 1718 and the last creation date (the 4th time) was in 1986 when the current Queen Elizabeth granted the title to Prince Andrew
§ For the purpose of this podcast, I won't go into the rules which governed when Titles could only be passed on to male heirs in the families concerned, but there is a wealth of information of the females who were older but passed over in favour of their brothers.
§ The 2nd thing I would like to mention, is note how The Queen gave this title to Prince Andrew her so called ‘favourite’, and despite everything that is going on in current times, still holds this title along with others. He is not a working Royal and he is involved in a globally known investigation, and whilst he may not be convicted of anything yet, note how Prince Harry has never been accused of any illegal activity, but has been stripped of everything, but the one thing they cannot take away from him without Parliamentary discussion and approval. One of the main current requirements for the removal of a Title such as the Duke of Sussex, is any illegal activity. We all know that Prince Harry is not accused of any illegality, but yet we still hear the paid trolls trying to make fetch happen, demanding that Harry should lose his title. What they all fail to understand, is that any removal of a Title from Prince Harry, would automatically have Prince Andrew's, and possibly others, but a definite for Prince Andrew to have the Titles removed, along with Security, and a host of benefits he is currently receiving because of his mother. So, Parliament will never be encouraged to debate this issue, without it having an automatic impact on other members of the BRF.
The 2nd creation of the Duke of Sussex title (which takes its name from the County of Sussex in England) was announced on 19th May 2018 and made official by Letters Patent on 16th July 2018, to Prince Harry. The current Heir apparent is Archie Mountbatten Windsor.
This week’s podcast looks at various business models and in particular explores Being Royal and Being Philanthropic. We will look at impact and approaches, and point out how Royal Tours are very different in purpose and content in comparison to meetings with a variety of business leaders in a number of locations, i.e., global Foundations, such as Archewell. Service is indeed universal, and it does not have to be carried out by a selected few.
Summarising the period from November 2019 to the present day on how the British Royal family and its media in the Royal Rota have dealt with/are dealing with Harry and Meghan stepping back from Senior Working Royals roles and setting up a new life where they can earn their own income, without having to rely on Prince Charles and the UK Taxpayers. This podcast also summarises the successes of Harry and Meghan in the same period, particularly from April 2020 when the official new status commenced.
At the end of the podcast, there is a small section which lists all of the 15 podcasts published by the Sussex Global UK account, and explores whether or not any themes have emerged, There were indeed 3 themes that emerged, which will no doubt lead to further research in the New Year.
Data collated using the Stages of Grief model will also be collated until the end of this year, and a report produced in January 2022. This will give 2 full years of data since Prince Harry formally announced via a Statement that he and Meghan were stepping back on 8th January 2020, alongside 4 years of data previous to that period, where i will look for themes and lessons learned, and identification of issues that should be addressed.
NB:-Most of my podcasts have an accompanying article, with more detail on the subject matter, images and academic models which may be useful, and a list of reference material used, together with website and books/journals which may be of interest to anyone who wants to explore that particular topic in more detail. The reference list is just to give the reader somewhere to start their search. Articles generally are produced 24 hours after the release of the podcast. I have them all in a Blog Section on my website : ivybarrow.org You do not need to register to read anything on any section of the website.
Goldsmiths study states that Collective Narcissism is systematically correlated with vulnerable narcissism. In other words, or at least I take that to mean that each of these groups felt vulnerable, and they were used to being in control of the day to day. “ Collective narcissism is related to hypersensitivity to inter-group threat”. Each group felt threatened so each group, including the government, worked together to form one mass to ensure that things did not change to adversely affect any element of each group. That is some power base that Harry and Meghan were dealing with, and were never expected to escape their clutches.
British Royal Family #Hereditary Monarchy # Harry and Meghan
Is there a place for a Hereditary Monarchy in a UK modern society. Line of Succession passing through family members throughout the decades/centuries? Is it still relevant today? Is the Monarch separated from the political arena in the UK?
A newly discovered letter from a freed former slave to his onetime master is creating a buzz. Letters of Note explains that in August of 1865, a Colonel P.H. Anderson of Big Spring, Tennessee wrote to his former slave Jourdan Anderson, requesting that Jourdan return to work on his farm.
In the time since escaping from slavery, Anderson had become emancipated, moved to Ohio where he found paid work and was now supporting his family. The letter turned up in the August 22 edition of the New York Daily Tribune.
Extracts are used in the podcast of the responses from the freed slave, whose name was Jourdan Anderson.
An imaginary response letter addressing the same or similar points is then outlined as if it was written by the Sussexes to the British Royal Family - who as we all know keep trying to find ways to get Harry to return but not his wife and children, having failed in their various attempts so far to entice him to return for "short visits" at certain family occasions, and ostracise him and his family for the majority of each year.
The imaginary letter is one put together by me, and not based on any such document written by Harry and Meghan. I am using the two letters to compare certain aspects of a master and Slave environment, and then when things became difficult at the failing business that used to be a Plantation, the former Master requests assistance from one of his former slaves.
The Response Letter from Jourdan Anderson is real and proven authentic (details will be contained in the article that will be published on my website after the podcast has aired) and is cited on many websites with further details of this gentleman and his wife and family.
UK Monarchy #Spares #Harry and Meghan #TheSussexes
UK Royals are always keen to produce a ‘spare’, so for example, if anything ever happened to the elder sibling (the heir), the future of the Monarchy is safe and will be able to carry on with the younger sibling. No thought is given to the idea that the younger sibling may have different plans for their future. In fact, ‘spares’ are told at a very early age, that they are not allowed to shine brighter than their older sibling, they cannot do anything that puts the heir in a negative light, and if the heir behaves in a poor way, or does something offensive, the Spare is there to be the face and the faux culprit of that behaviour. Centuries ago, people had a high risk of dying whilst quite young, including Royalty so the Spare was called upon to step forward. In modern times, that has not occurred so much and as soon as the older sibling starts to produce children of their own, the Spare falls lower and lower down the Line of Succession. Which means that they are unlikely to ever be in line for the Throne, and one would think therefore that they were free to pursue their own ambitions. Not the case. Harry was meant to ‘hang around’ for about 20 years or so, whilst the Cambridge children became adults, and immediately adult George would be given increasing number of duties, to prepare him for Kingship one day in the future, and Harry would be discarded. The fate of all Spares. What kind of existence is that? A child deliberately brought into the world, to be a foot soldier to the older sibling, and to be there to do the ‘heavy lifting’ of duties, and to be the ‘help’ for any member of the wider family/
Today’s podcast (Episode 11) is all about toxic people and toxic environments, and the impact on our mental health dealing with this behaviour day in day out, year in year out. I have divided the podcast and the article (on my website ivybarrow.org available after podcast airs) into distinct but inter related categories, and tie all of them directly to the experiences of Harry and Meghan and events that have occurred since 2016. I will discuss the main players involved, and in my opinion, I regard each group mentioned complicit in the activities by their silence of their peers and lack of assistance to the two people on the receiving end of this behaviour.
UK Monarchy #Harry and Meghan #UK Tabloids #BRF in Crisis #FBI
The British Royal family, UK Media and Royalists forced the Sussexes out of the UK, and have continued to try and make life difficult for them in the USA - all based on jealousy and envy. This podcast explores the outcomes of such an approach, and its implications for the UK Monarchy.
When I state Aristocracy, I include in that group the supposed Republic political group, who claim to be against having a Monarchy, and are actively working towards such a goal. From the little I have seen, and read about this group, I believe that that they are firmly in the Aristocracy group, and are there like a Trojan Horse to give the impression of being the voice of republicanism. Their only high profile activity that I have seen, is to pursue the Sussexes after they moved to the USA, about queries they had relating to Sussex Royal accounts. Remember their claimed political persuasion is about tax funded Royals and yet here they were deliberately courting the press about people who no longer lived in the UK, were no longer working senior Royals, but no mention of any investigation into any of the Foundation accounts. For that matter, there is currently a glaring question mark about a large sum of money being stated in relation to KP as “pro bono work”. The same type of entry that another Royal was taken to task over and had to repay that money back into the Royal accounts. No comment about KP entry in the recently released accounts, yet the Republic group were happy to pursue a couple who had done nothing wrong, and more importantly did not come within their remit.
The important thing to note is that successful organisations will be able to demonstrate they are aware of the future risks to service delivery and have built in mechanisms to prepare the workforce through policy and strategies.
Now, when we look at the British Royal Family, and its notion of being a Firm, many things fall short, in terms of adapting and staying alongside, if not ahead of the changes. One of the main stumbling blocks on such an entity is that the members of the Firm, ie the notional workforce, are family members who are given roles, which have nothing to do with competency or ability to acquire knowledge, but merely on the order of birth from a parent who is also judged by their position in the Line of Succession
Just like the books and the film franchise, the ruling classes keep their transgressions hidden by a series of distraction. It is a place built on class divisions. In my opinion, all the various categories I am using as examples in this podcast reflect those divisions, and each one is fighting for relevance, and if necessary will destroy anyone who ‘gets in the way’ and is perceived to be changing a way of life that has existed for as long as they can remember.
Let me introduce the players in each category:-
-
The British Royal Family – Monarchy – Activity Type: Unknown but similar to Grifters; Right Wing Figurehead family.
-
Media Barons – Royal Reporters Rota & TV media included in this category. Activity type: Propaganda Team for BRF
-
Aristocracy – Activity: Unknown but appears like a faux society and gene pool for the BRF
-
National Government – Activity: to ensure that the above groups all continue to exist, and to try and replicate the Hunger Games approach on the rest of the world
-
The Key Board Warriors - Activity: to spend 23.5 hours every day searching for things they can blame the global entrepreneurs for, to invent new theories about their lifestyle and whether or not they are actually human. At the same time, they pretend to show allegiance to the BRF but the reality is, any Caucasian figurehead family would be expressed as their ideal, without actually doing anything tangible to prolong their existence or support the number of charities which on paper are linked to the BRF in some way. The main purpose of this group is to generate hate and spread the hatred they have created between themselves, as it is their food source, and when none is readily available, create something and run with that. Following in the footsteps of the Carnival of Clown Experts, who work in a vacuum at the best of time, and exist purely on lies and hate inciting activity, but in recent times, their food supply is so low now, it is not worth including them as a category. They are on the way to becoming extinct, so there was little point including them in the Hunger Games tournament of 2021.
Let the Games begin.
When you read about these examples, if you replace “partner, ex partner, spouse” etc with all those groups of people who have abused the Sussexes, eg the Royal Family, the tabloid press Royal Reporters, Government by their silence are complicit, keyboard warriors, the hillbilly clan headed up by the Sperm Donor – they are behaving like an ex partner who refuses to accept that the marriage is over, and are now becoming dangerously obsessed with pursuing them and putting their lives at risk.
Episode 5: 110721
The official term used is to call them “spares”. Those children have no rights, but would have rights if they were born outside of the Monarchy. No is allowed to leave, and great pressure is placed on anyone who shows any signs of independent thought. This has been discussed In previous podcasts, and the history books are full of suffering of “spares” over the decades and how Royal life was like being a slave behind gilded gates. All funded by the UK taxpayer, who seem happy to do so, in order to have their figurehead family at the helm which notionally represented stability and memories of the former British Empire.
It is a huge error to ignore reports of abuse emanating from a place of opulence and privilege. There is an idea that wealthy people can afford legal assistance so other people and nations are a priority. If this was not the case, why are the cases that I found in my research, where the international legal community chose to become involved, involved countries that were deeply affected by poverty. I have no issue with these communities receiving intervention by human rights organisations, but I am saying that adults and children have suffered, and continue to suffer in places of wealth, and decades later a report is produced about the suffering. It is a bit late for those victims, and how many reports do we all need to see, before someone grasps the nettle and gets involved when they hear of possible abuse going on in places now. Who speaks for the victims? Why are abusers ignored because they are wealthy, and are friendly with other wealthy individuals? Who speaks up for the children who are deliberately brought into the world to serve others, and be foot soldiers for an institution, and told that they are not allowed to shine brighter than their older siblings. Told that they can never leave, and that they are there as a duty and to conform to rules that they never had any say in, as well as no say that they were born into a particular family in the first place. Children outside of the Royal bubble would have Child Protection agencies on the doorsteps of working class homes, yet the establishment families are left alone. It is beyond wrong, and it begs the question as to the role and terms of reference for international legal entities.
The podcast examines the definitions of hatred and how it manifests in group situations. I explore herd mentality and whether or not we are programmed to behave this way. I discuss why people hate and what happens in our brains when we do. The differences and connections between love and hate.
I examine crowd psychology, whether it be physically together, or via online platforms, and why and how people ‘fall or move’ into group decisions on what and how they post etc. The psychology of propaganda.
All of this has been researched as a backdrop to the unknown phenomenon of this huge movement of hatred against Harry and Meghan (particularly Meghan) which has gone into such dark avenues, that almost 5 years down the line, enough has occurred where there is a growing bank of evidence of the mental health implications and the emerging trauma being experienced or exhibited in both perpetrators and victims, that will occupy psychologists and the various health services provision for decades.
Harry_Meghan #Human Rights - Protection Under the Law #G7
I am confident that key people in world politics, along with human rights specialists, will one day bring an international perspective to the increased risks around the Sussexes who now reside in the USA. 3 members of the family of 4 are USA citizens, and what has been done to the Sussexes, Meghan in particular, whilst on UK soil, and now continued whilst she is back in her home country, is against the law. Deeds and actions carried out by UK media, and behind the scenes on protected land and property, (protected by UK law only) actions against someone who is not a citizen of the UK for over 4 years, which resulted in suicide ideation, and eventually Harry removing his family from a toxic situation. The same abusers are trying to ruin the lives of the Sussex family as punishment for escaping from the Plantation in an opulent setting behind gilded gates.Everyone has the right to protection under the law, and the Sussexes are not exempt from that, simply because the abusers are linked to the UK Monarchy in some way or another. Only the Queen is exempt from UK Laws. Everyone else, including media personnel hiding behind employer privilege, should and can be held personally responsible for what they write for their newspapers, as well as on social media, combined with interviews and panel discussions on various right wing platforms on UK and Australia news media platforms. UK Royal Reporters earning extra income by continuing the bullying and harassment narrative with a variety of networks, is included in their personal accountability for what they say and do in respect of this 4 year plus campaign.
The unwritten contract between Royal Reporting and the UK RF has been exposed and is a conflict of interest and it is dangerous. When it reaches a stage where HR personnel working for the Royal Family, brief RRs with confidential information, including Meghan’s suicide ideation then they need to be held accountable too. If HR are members of any professional body, then action needs to be taken and would be if they were affiliated in any way with the CIPD, but I suspect the HR team is yet another performative activity and probably believe that they are exempt from the law, but they would be wrong. The fact that the BRF have been allowed to remain exempt from equality and discriminatory legal requirements is bad enough, but this does not cover Data Protection requirements as far as I can determine. Legal minds can determine that fact.
In summary, protection under the law, not given to the Sussexes in terms of bullying and harassment, and or aspects of employment law. Meghan told there were no funds for her, so she paid her own expenses whilst undertaking Royal duties. Meghan told that she was not an employee and therefore not entitled to any assistance regarding suicidal thoughts. Personal ID documentation including passport and credit cards kept in HRs possession – that is not a legal requirements as explained in the Worker or Slave podcast. Meghan not regarded as family either, as no financial provision set up for her when she married into the family. Harry was told that she should seek work as an actress to pay her way. With all of that, and much much more, Royal Slave is all that is left. When the Monarchy get away with removing Meghan’s name from her child’s birth certificate (which is against the law by the way) it replicates the actions of Master and Slave. Strip them of all identity.
If you are not a member of staff, or self employed, or a family member afforded basic health care facilities, and apparently have no rights to services offered to those groups, what are you then? Answer - A slave in an opulent setting.
NB:- This is an Archived podcast I recorded on 21st March 2021 for Meghanpedia. I am including it here now that i have my own YT channel. This is for those who are new to my podcasts and articles, as well as those who have supported both in the last few months This one has proved to be the most popular to date.
The British Royal Family and its media are acting exactly like an ex spouse who is angry that their victim has escaped from their abusive behaviour. The abusers doubled down on the abuse, as a way of trying to give the impression that they still had control over the actions of Harry and Meghan. Since Harry and Meghan have managed to leave that perceived gilded prison, there has been an increasing sinister nature to the public attacks on the couple, Meghan in particular, all done via UK media partners. The risks on their lives and that of their child and now an unborn child have increased enormously. There is no sign of the BRF standing down from these attacks, and there still seems to be some kind of strange belief that if harm comes to Meghan and children, in whatever form, then the marriage would end, and Harry would somehow return to the UK and forget about all the abuse dished out to him and his family.
Why then, are the family intent on ruining this couple? The abuse behind Palace walls needs to be made public. All we do know is that Meghan felt suicidal whilst pregnant with Archie, and sought help from the Royal HR team, but was refused assistance, on the basis that she was not considered an employee and it would also look bad on the RF that a member of the said family was in need of mental health assistance. I think the real reason was that it would shine a light on not only the UK media who were acting on behalf of the Royal family anyway, but also the treatment by the Royal family itself towards Meghan. We all now know that the RF made no financial provision for Meghan when she married into the family. In reality she was treated like the slave of the Royal Family.
