Edward VIII The Traitor King (part 7 of 11)

[bcpii]

In 1936- English Gov. appeased Hitler & self-disarmed. Churchill said Hitler would attack, so was called a War Monger. A hopeless situation for a disarmed England! Did E. abdicate & fake a roll to position himself to mitigate harsh subjugation of England in future? In 1940, did his words & dangerous wandering from Paris to Provence to Portugal, offer himself as “bait”, hoping to delay Hitler’s invasion past summer & radar setup?- Hitler did delay. --Did Edward's desperate acts save Britain?

[Rico8458]

you are correct. he was a lover and an idiot. a dandy dapper moron who failed to see the importance of God and Country. lol

[Rico8458]

lol you are right about that. they saw him as a AH lover.

[Rico8458]

why did they not send him as governor of India?

[VictorLepanto]

@Rico8458: Cuz he'd have turned the place over to the Japanese PDQ.

[Ezrateach]

@Rico8458 He couldn't even manage the Bahamas. He could never run a country the size of India, which was smack dab in the middle of the fighting against the Japanese in Asia--not to mention filled with groups demanding their independence from Britain. (Gandhi, hello?) 

[Rico8458]

but Edward was german anyway. lol. german speaking english.

Sr. Ricardo Espírito Santo was a sympathiser of fashism, better, of Salazarianism! He was in intense touch with Germany, but still he sent most of his family abroad, far away from Europe! Why? Because, at least in the view of the Germans, they were jews! He was married to Mary Cohen! Her life being in danger, once Germany wins! The whole matter was more than ambivalent! After the war, Ricardo was summoned & trialed for colaboration! One of the proofs against him was him having hosted the duke.

What the hell r u all on? You all need to get laid big time

[TalkShitAvenger]

Fuck your entire history and reason for being. Eddie was a shit-disturber. The shit was europe. The disturbance? uh, not being a total bitch, maybe? He followed his conscience, and that is all that matters to me. I like him more than all the others, except Elizabeth I. Long live the dead and forgotten ones!

[mc0558]

But are these reports from Nazi officials on hat Edward's says all to be believed. We inow he was stupid but what he a total idiot?

[VictorLepanto]

Just think for a minute about the consequences of centuries of aristocratic inbreeding . We are lucky these royals don't come out w/ two heads. We should be happy when they are born w/o one at all.

[mc0558]

When you have developed a particularly good breed of pedagree dogs, you are permitted to inbreed a generation or two of them to anchor the exception qualities that your line has developed. While it is true that bad traits will be strengthened by inbreeding, so too will good traits.

I think more damaging than genetics is the influence of environment, as Tom Paine pointed out. To grow up surrounded by servants who job is to satisfy you every wish asap is frequently very damaging.

[TalkShitAvenger]

what is an "exception quality" .....to anchor? something you want to hold on to? stay in place?

Yes, then Edward VIII is quite the pedagree. I would even go as far as to say he was saviour of Europe. Inadvertantly. Churchill and rallying and yadadaadda.....Eddie saw the shit was hitting the fan and he ran to tropics. Way to abandon a sinking ship, man. all that inbreeding had a toll on the lad. Look at his ghastly portraits. He looked like a piked chickadee with those bulged eyes.

[AppleSouffle]

Mc0558, that is an excellent point. Thank you.

I think it's similar for movie stars and popular singers. They're surrounded by people who fawn all over them. And throngs of their fans want to have sex with them. It's a wonder that any move stars do stay happily married.

Many years ago I read an interview with Mel Gibson. He said, "Divorce is not an option."

But he left his wife and marriage of 30 years and 7 children for Oksana, his Russian girlfriend. That was disappointing.

[HateFenians]

Everybody is everybodies cousin in that family!

[counterhon]

@VictorLepanto Marrying your cousin wasn't just common among Royals, it was regular enough for everyone until about a hundred years ago

[VictorLepanto]

@counterhon: More a matter of inevitable necessity then or deliberate choice. For most of history, most people never travelled more then 20 miles from the very spot on which they were born. In the multitude of small villages, one only had the local group which had been marrying each other for centuries. Most tried to spread their genes about as far as circumstance would allow.

[counterhon]

@VictorLepanto For certain all those things were considerations too, but it was common among any family that was illustrious (not just the nobles and royals) to keep it within the family, as a means of conserving assets. It's often thought of as something that was done among the rich, so most people don't feel it has anything to do with them, but often poorer families would marry two cousins to maximize the assets of the two branches.
