One degree of separation

If you had to guess one prominent surname in all the world that you didn't expect to be included in Prince Phillip's will but after hearing about it you wouldn't be all that surprised, who would it be?





His will has been sealed for the next 90 years, but not before this little teaser escaped...

And a Merry Christmas to all adherents of the Christian faith may this be a time of strength, renewal and most of all, love.

That is an excellent video. I agree with everything he says, but I'm not sure if there's anything we can or should do about it. Like when Jesus said about the taxes, "render therefore unto Ceasar the things which are Ceasar's; and unto God the things that are God's". i'm not sure what kind of action we should be taking.

I prefer reading and I'm very seldom able to make it even a few minutes into most youtube videos of people giving their own commentary on something, but I always enjoy watching stuff from this guy. I'm not even a little bit interested in the British royal family, nor do I particularly have any reason to be jealous of their wealth, but I watched this video to the end.

What teaser escaped?

If I remember correctly there was once a council that decided what to add and what to omit from the New Testament.

Give unto Caesar always gives me the impression that a deal was struck between religion and state that the religion would provide subservient taxpayers on the condition that the church remains tax exempt forever.

He does have a way with words,doesn't he?


Would you place him in the bard or jester archetype?

A Rothschild is listed in Prince Phillip's will.

a reply to: 19Bones79

I would go with bard.

Something interesting about that passage. If you read the entire chapter 20 of Luke where this quote is written, you'll see that it is essentially a record of Jesus absolutely trolling his opposition.

Seriously, there are several instances where people ask him questions with the intent if trapping him with the answer and he just rolls the answers back on them and trolls then like a trollmiester.

I love that chapter.

Wrong. See my previous post.

Jesus was trolling the smart alecks. Read the entire chapter 20 of Luke. He was doing the opposite of what you say. He threw their fire back on their heads. Taking the entire chapter as context makes that clear.

Isn't it ironic how his irony ultimately failed, as the general consensus lines up with the original poster's interpretation.

Good game.

The king gave the pauper anything in his kingdom for his wisdom.

The pauper replied ‘get out of my sunshine.’

I didnt watch the video because that throbber Brand gives me the asshole and I cant have the asshole on Christmas day. If the D of E did bequeathe something to Rothschild I would have thought it likely to be of cultural or historical worth rather than financial. The Duke's personal fortune up against Rothschild is pitiful by comparison.

Fine. Only because it's Christmas. Here is the obvious point, but in a musical.

If you want to know why Phil the Greek's will is sealed for 90 years, look at what's happened to Spain's former king, Juan Carlos.

Lots of shady money deals, lots of mistresses, lots of hush money.

Britain was heading towards a more critical view of the monarchy and their dealings until the death of Diana. All of a sudden, the most perceptive and inquiring voices shut up "out of respect", but a lot of what they had already uncovered is already in the public domain. Britain's MSM, balls deep in the Conservative Party and the Establishment, is pretending it never said what it was saying even in the first editions of their papers the day Diana died...
