Robert Louis Stevenson’s Long John Silver and W. E. Henley
Treasure Island’s Cornish connections have been described in the Cornwall thread. There is an indirect connection to Prince Harry in that the character of Long John Silver was inspired by W.E. Henley, the author of the Invictus poem. “His (Henley’s) wooden leg and expansive personality led Stevenson to write to him: ‘I will now make a confession. It was the sight of your maimed strength and masterfulness that begot Long John Silver.’ It is possible that Henley was not altogether flattered by being made the model for Silver; after all, the wounded buccaneer is not depicted in the book exactly as a moral paragon; indeed, he is a murderer, however much he appeals as a character to the reader and remains forever in his mind. At any rate, Henley’s friendship with Stevenson cooled considerably after publication, though initially Henley championed the book.” www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/9135680/The-strange-case-of-Robert-Louis-Stevenson.html

Things to Come
The film from 1936 was shown on TV this morning. I didn’t know anything the last time I saw it, but today I picked up the references to a New World, a Common Order and the rejection of independent sovereign states. Basra was mentioned a few times too.

Benedict the Bavarian pope
Pope Benedict XVI, who stepped down in 2013, comes from Bavaria. Now 91, he celebrated his 88th birthday in Castel Gandolfo with a group of visiting Bavarians:  He visited the UK in 2010, and presented a facsimile of a priceless manuscript to the Queen:

Benedict XVI and the Bavarian premier
Pope Benedict still keeps in touch with Bavarian people, who visit him in his retirement in Italy. The Bavarian premier Markus Söder or Soeder visited him in June this year. I had never heard of Markus Söder until truthseeker mentioned him. He likes to dress up in colourful costumes. I wonder whether he has ever worn clerical robes.

On the topic of H.G. Wells: he was depicted in a 1979 film called Time After Time - in which Wells uses a time machine to pursue Jack the Ripper. The actor who plays Wells in the film is Malcom McDowell (MM).  Promotional poster for the film |

That is a very striking poster, and it has reminded me of yet more things to investigate.
Yes, MM initials are always interesting, and don't forget that he was in Clockwork Orange, which that poster reminds me of!
There was a lot about that on the old CC forum. I have all my old posts saved, but unless someone gives me a time machine for Christmas it will have to wait.

H. G. Wells was a republican
This extract from an article in the Guardian archive, which must be dated pre 1918, shows his views at the time: “The ‘Times’ of Saturday last printed a letter from Mr. H. G. Wells, the author, which managed without attacking the institution of monarchy in this country to argue for the formation of republican clubs 'which could enrol members, organise meetings of sympathy with our fellow-republicans abroad, and form the basis of more definitely purposeful activities.' These activities, Mr. Wells hastens to add, need not conflict in any way with free loyalty to the ‘occupant of the throne’. The letter is a deft piece of writing, and Mr. Wells is known from his books as a very clear, logical, and sometimes original thinker. The ‘Times,’ less deftly, scolds Mr. Wells for writing foolishly, says that it only prints Mr. Wells's letter in order to show the absurdity of republican manifestations in this country, and then reels off a good school essay on the differences between the monarchy here and in Germany, which happily are very substantial. The argument strikes one as unreal. The fact that the King in Germany is Kaiser creates no sort of presumption that Kaiserism ever could be naturalised here. What Mr. Wells means is that there may be such a thing as a monarchical trade union of which the Kaiser is president, and that it might be useful to form a rival trade union of republican clubs. The power and prestige of the monarchy in England went up in the later years of Queen Victoria and in the reign of King Edward and active republicanism, which was a real force in the earlier half of the nineteenth century, almost disappeared. But we do not believe in the stories of King Edward as a great originator in foreign policy, and have always regarded them as dangerous to the constitutional position of the Crown.” www.theguardian.com/news/1917/apr/23/leadersandreply.mainsectionGerman monarchy again.

Yes, that’s a good point UnseenI. It very much does resemble A Clockwork Orange. Anthony Burgess the author was a very interesting individual. He died by coincidence on the same famous date that JFK was assassinated in Dallas, Texas (November 22nd) but thirty years later in 1993. Aldous Huxley passed away on his sickbed after requesting from his nurse a dose of LSD (100 μg, intramuscular) on November 22nd 1963 day. Interesting that these two writers most famous for a dystopian novel/novella are linked in death by this date. |

H. G. Wells and the alien monarch
This anecdote about H. G. Wells and George V, who changed the royal family’s German name to Windsor, may be new to some people: H. G. Wells described the monarchy's German heritage as an ‘alien and uninspiring Court’, prompting George to say, "I may be uninspiring, but I'll be damned if I'm alien."

Pope Benedict, beer and the big 90
Maybe he is too frail to visit his beloved homeland so Bavarians bring it to him. It is interesting that he mentions the Bavarian white and blue that has appeared in some posts: “A bit of Bavaria, including German beer and pretzels, came to the Vatican to help celebrate retired Pope Benedict XVI's 90th birthday. 'Thank you for bringing Bavaria here,' he told his guests, commenting on the beauty of gathering together under a blue Roman sky with white clouds -- colors that ‘recall the white and blue flag of Bavaria’ and how ‘it's always the same sky no matter where one finds oneself in the world’… A German delegation was present, led by the minister president of Bavaria, Horst Seehofer, and including a group of men dressed in the traditional uniforms of the ‘Schutzen’ with their dark green wool hats decorated with feathers, pins and sprigs of greenery.” www.ncronline.org/news/people/pope-benedict-celebrates-birthday-bavarian-guests-beer-pretzels

A very eventful day indeed.
As for November 22nd, Michael Hutchence died on that day in 1997.
In all these cases we have to allow for time differences of course.

Donald Trump’s German grandfather and Prinz Luitpold
Yet another Bavarian connection involving a very powerful man. “When Donald Trump's German grandfather was ordered by a royal decree to leave the country and never return, he wrote a letter pleading the prince regent of Bavaria not to deport him. Friedrich Trump wrote the letter in 1905 when he returned to Germany with his wife and daughter after having emigrated to the US. German authorities had given him eight weeks to leave and denied him repatriation because he failed to complete his mandatory military service and to register his initial emigration to the US 20 years earlier.“ www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-grandfather-germany-letter-deportation-us-bavaria-dreamers-a7903071.htmlWhat would have happened if Prince Regent Luitpold had not rejected the request? Maybe Donald would have gone into the Church and become Pope... here are two of the world’s most powerful men:

Malcolm McDowell, Germany and Bavaria
I found some unexpected but relevant connections with Bavaria for the actor Richard Burton; now it’s Malcolm McDowell’s turn. He was said last year to have been chosen to star in a film about the German composer Richard Strauss, to be shot in Bavaria Film Studios in Munich. He played the starring role of Flashman in the 1975 film Royal Flash, which is based on George MacDonald Fraser’s book of the same name and was partly shot on location in Bavaria. I haven’t read the book and I haven’t seen the film; I am just getting some basic information from WiKi. Flashman goes to Munich and impersonates a Danish prince. One of the characters in the film is King Ludwig I of Bavaria. What a ‘coincidence’. The notorious Otto von Bismarck is in it too, and there is mention of how a potential royal marriage might interfere with his plans for a united Germany.

Ian Fleming, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Bavaria
Lavendel said that the James Bond books were predictive. That episode with Bond and the Queen was bizarre. Ian Fleming also wrote Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The film features a sinister child catcher. In Princess Diana’s own words: “We were always shunted over to Sandringham (the Queen’s Norfolk residence next door) for holidays. We used to go and see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the film. We hated it so much. The atmosphere was always very strange, and I used to kick and fight anyone who tried to make us go over there. I said I didn’t want to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for the third year running. Daddy was most insistent because it was rude (not to go).” The film was made at Neuschwanstein Castle and the town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Bavaria. Ian Fleming briefly studied languages at Munich University.

Chit is an adjective meaning a slight young girl. Bang bang means sex. So written by Ian Fleming and poor old Diana maybe she was an MKUltra victim. Here is an interesting news article in todays DExpress and a couple of very interesting comments.
Its all about the Stone of Scone that is used to crown the scottish and english kings. But is it really a International Travelling artefact Jacob' pillow?

“...poor old Diana maybe she was an MKUltra victim.” transformer it is uncanny how many famous people lose their mothers, in one way or another, in childhood. In many but not all cases it happens before the age of seven. In Princess Diana’s own words: “The biggest disruption was when Mummy decided to leg it (in 1967). That’s the vivid memory the four of us children have.” She would have been in her sixth year at the time. The separation and divorce affected her very badly. A few more examples from people and places mentioned on here: Charlotte Brontë’s mother Maria Branwell, who came from Penzance in Cornwall, died when Charlotte was five. The actor Richard Burton’s mother died when he was two years old. C. S. Lewis was in his tenth year when his mother died. In some cases we could be forgiven for believing that something behind the scenes is choreographing it all, making sure that children get the programming designed to force them onto a particular path. |

Jacobites, Jacob and the Stone of Scone
transformer this whole business of pretenders and modern-day Jacobites who are more royal than the king in that their candidates for the British monarchy don’t want it is very weird. These Jacobites still want to restore the House of Stuart, even though there are no claimants. Their candidates are all Wittelsbachers, who are mostly as German as the Hanoverians! I know that the Jacobites took their name from Jacobus, the Latin form of James, because they supported James II, but the Jacob’s Pillow connection is quite a coincidence. The name Jacob is highly appropriate as it means supplanter, but also one who grasps, trips up, or deceives. Pretenders want to supplant the monarchs and fake stones deceive us. The Stone stolen by Edward I in 1296 may not have been the real thing, so when it was stolen back in 1950 it was all for nothing. Assuming that it was the real thing; what did we get back in time for the coronation of 1953? Anyway, the alleged Stone of Destiny/Stone of Stone/Jacob’s Pillow was handed back to Scotland in November 1996. Was it the real thing or a fake this time? The Stone will return to London for the next coronation. Again, who knows whether we will get the real thing or a substitute! Does anyone know what’s what any more?  “Prince Andrew, right, presided over the ceremony turning over custody of the Coronation Stone to the Scots.”

Charles and Diana met some Wittelsbachers in Bavaria in 1987
Prince Charles is a Hanoverian; Princess Diana had Stuart ancestors. They met some members of the Bavarian royal family in 1987: “Charles and Diana, smiling and waving to the crowd, were welcomed by Bavarian Governor Franz-Josef Strauss, Munich Mayor Georg Kronawitter and other Bavarian dignitaries. They were driven in limousines under police escort to downtown Munich to sign the city’s guest book. In the Bavarian capital, Charles and Diana also were to meet with members of the Bavarian royal family of Wittelsbach… The prince and his wife are on a weeklong visit to West Germany aimed at underscoring friendship between the two nations. Bavarian King Ludwig II, a Wittelsbach, built the Neuschwanstein Castle, which was reproduced in Disneyland. Ludwig also built Linderhof Castle, which was featured in Walt Disney fairytale movies. Among the descendants of the family is 54-year-old Prince Franz of Bavaria, who continues to manage the family’s property, including the two castles. He was to meet with Charles and Diana in Munich later today.” www.apnews.com/baaf77ee93d30d04c9d0e9acc5b73a1cI wonder whether they discussed the Jacobite support for Prince Franz. I couldn’t find any pictures of the meeting, just of a visit to the Munich Opera House:

More about Scotland, Cornwall and Bavaria connections
Scotland has long had close ties with Bavaria, from the historical twinnings of Edinburgh-Munich and Glasgow-Nuremburg to the Joint Economic Declaration, signed by Scottish and Bavarian Governments in 2017, pledging further collaboration on business, enterprise, innovation and research. In addition to the white and blue on the Cornish and Bavarian flags and arms, we have the blue and white flag of Scotland. Here too the blue represents the sky. All three places have individual identities and movements for devolution and independence. All are involved in disputes about pretenders, fakes and replicas: Scotland and Bavaria are involved in the disputes about the rightful monarch, with a Bavarian candidate connected to the House of Stuart being promoted by the Jacobites as the rightful Duke of Cornwall. Scotland has been involved in disputes about the rightful ownership of the Stone of Scone and whether or not there are fakes and replicas in the case. The Stone of Scone, which in this case is pronounced Skoon, brings us to the dispute of supreme importance between Devon and Cornwall. The war is over how you should serve scones! I support the Cornish side, as does Prince Charles. Jam on first is the real deal:

Pope Benedict and the Holy Grail beer
As we have seen, the Bavarian former pope likes his beer. There is a good coincidence in this article from 2008: “The Anglican Archbishop of York presented a gift of beer to Pope Benedict XVI on his recent trip to the Vatican, the York Press reports. Archbishop of York John Sentamu, visiting Rome to celebrate the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, presented the Pope with an illustrated history of York Minster and a cut-glass beer tankard from the Minster. He also gave to the Pope two Yorkshire beers, Holy Grail beer and Black Sheep Ale from the Black Sheep Brewery.” www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/anglican_archbishop_gives_pope_holy_grail_beerHoly Grail Bitter was specially commissioned by the brewery to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Monty Python. Samantha Markle is responsible for the many Monty Python posts on here, which include some about their Holy Grail film. She mentioned going to this year’s Oktoberfest on her Twitter; this beer festival takes place in Bavaria. So we have come full circle yet again.

Michael Palin, Monty Python and another Cornish connection
We have already mentioned some Monty Python links to King Arthur and the Holy Grail. The Cycling Tour is an episode of the Pythons’ TV programme Monty Python’s Flying Circus in which Michael Palin, who is one of my favourite entertainers, plays an annoying man who is making a cycling tour of the north Cornwall area. He keeps falling off his bike. There are a couple of references to Tavistock! Michael Palin as the cyclist, and meeting the Queen:

Monty Python and the Bavarian connection
When Lavendel said that many German people think that our humour is unmatched, I wondered how they feel when we make fun of Germans! We find some German accents, some German words and Bavarian men dancing in traditional dress hilarious. Monty Python team member John Cleese also starred in the Fawlty Towers series. One episode is about some Germans; it is very funny but probably goes a bit too far! Apparently it is all very acceptable, as someone from Bavaria Film invited the Pythons to go to Munich and make some special programmes for the German market. From WiKi: “Eric Idle has described the conception of the specials as ‘The Germans came to us and said 'Look, we haven't got a sense of humour, but we understand you do. Can we use yours?' Michael Palin also noted that ‘All I know is that it reversed all one's prejudices. Python has done very, very well in Germany, and the movies do extremely well. ... Whenever anyone says, you know, the Germans have no sense of humour, say no, hang on, hang on, they got Monty Python before a lot of other countries.’ During their visit to Germany, the Pythons attended the Oktoberfest ...” The Pythons did a sketch about a Bavarian restaurant for the series:

A sinister Bavarian connection
Bavaria is well known for its many connections with the man with the moustache, "You-Know-Who" or "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named", and his National Socialist party.
The capital city of Munich was both founding city and nerve centre of the party.
Nuremberg is the second largest Bavarian city; it is associated with rallies before WWII and trials afterwards.
I wonder whether there were any occult reasons for this. Maybe it was something to do with the Bavarian royal family and Wagner and the Holy Grail, or maybe it was simply that Munich is close to Austria.
I am mentioning this because of a connection between Cornwall and the above-mentioned man and his party that I am investigating.

Carving up Cornwall for the invaders
Wiliam the Conqueror seized lands in England after his successful conquest and handed them over to his followers as a reward for their support. Titles too were awarded to his men.
Many Normans were given land in Cornwall, with William’s half-brother Robert, Count of Mortain getting the lion’s share. It was Count Robert who was responsible for building the featured Trematon Castle, and he was the second Earl of Cornwall in his brother’s new kingdom.
Much nearer to our time, sinister predators were looking to get their hands on our lands. The Germans were assuming that they would win WWII, after which they would invade Britain and implement their plans. Not only would Edward VIII be restored, but top supporters of the man with the moustache would be given land and titles as a reward.
Once again, Cornwall was of special interest.
Foreign Minister and Ambassador to Britain Joachim von Ribbentrop made many trips to Cornwall before the war, and he liked it so much he planned to own it and retire there. The man with the moustache promised to give the whole of Cornwall to him!
I wonder what title von Ribbentrop would have chosen. Would he have settled for Duke of Cornwall?
William the Conqueror came through for his followers, but it all backfired for the Germans. Not only did they not conquer Britain, but they lost what they had. Ribbentrop was tried, convicted, sentenced to death and executed at Nuremberg. His ashes were scattered in a nearby river, so he rests in Bavaria not in Cornwall as he had hoped.

Joachim von Ribbentrop and Cornwall
Cornwall is a beautiful place; it is visited by many tourists and holidaymakers. This alone is enough to explain its attraction for von Ribbentrop, but I also wonder whether his holidays were a cover for searching for traces of King Arthur and the Holy Grail. King Arthur is said to be asleep in Avalon; he will wake in the hour of Britain’s greatest need. Perhaps the Germans were trying to find and destroy him. Von Ribbentrop was interested in the tidal island St. Michael’s Mount, which has associations with the Knights Templar. The story of von Ribbentrop’s many visits became generally known in 2010, from articles in the DM and similar sources. It seems that he couldn’t decide where in Cornwall he would live in retirement - maybe he would have had several houses, just like the royal family: “Joachim von Ribbentrop had his eye on a house on St Michael's Mount, new exhibition claims In researching the Nazi diplomat's many trips to Cornwall in the 1930s for his new book and exhibition, Lanyon has uncovered a series of holiday postcards purchased by Ribbentrop that were later used to illustrate a top secret German 1942 guide to the English coastline, Militärgeographische Angaben über England Südküste. He has also found documents and new testimony that confirm the leading Nazi's love affair with the seaside town of St Ives. They tally with local stories that the Germans had been instructed to avoid bombing particular sections of the coast. ‘I have interviewed people who remember Ribbentrop's visits and the period in the 1930s when he stayed with Colonel Edward Bolitho, the Lord Lieutenant of Cornwall, in Trengwainton, his Cornish home,’ said Lanyon. ‘He told Bolitho he wanted to live in St Ives and that Hitler had agreed to give him Cornwall.’" www.theguardian.com/world/2010/oct/03/nazi-foreign-minister-planned-cornwall-retirementVintage railway posters:

100 years ago today
Britain’s Day was celebrated in the US, in Washington and New York in particular. King George V sent this message: "I am deeply touched by America's celebration of British Day. The people of the Empire join me in thanking you and those associates with you for your efforts in promoting a celebration which we welcome as proof of the true and lasting friendship of the United States. It will be a particular satisfaction to my Navy and Army to feel that they have won the esteem of a nation which sent so many gallant men to suffer with them in the trials of the great war, and to share the glorious victory. In the name of the Empire, I thank the people of the United States. I pray that the coming era of peace may find the two nations always united, as to-day." www.studenthandouts.com/world-history/world-war-i/pictures/britains-day-britannia-uncle-sam.htm
