The doctored photo shared by Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales—in the wake of her alleged abdominal surgery—has ignited significant controversy across various online platforms. However, the conspiracies swirling around the Princess and her health were brewing long before the emergence of this infamous photograph. What is it that prompts such intense scrutiny and fuels the spread of conspiracy theories surrounding the Princess? Moreover, why are royalists, the apathetic and anti-imperialists all equally captivated by the media frenzy surrounding Kate?

Tucker Carlson has been pranked over Kate Middleton‘s infamous edited photo. The former Fox News anchor was duped by British YouTubers Josh & Archie into interviewing a fake Kensington Palace whistleblower, who was prepared to dish the dirt on the doctored image. Archie Manners posed as the Prince and Princess of Wales’ former digital content creator, who claimed he had been fired for altering the Mother’s Day image so poorly it was rumbled by the public. The Tucker Carlson Network, which streams on Twitter (now X), accepted his story after Manners and co-conspirator Josh Pieters forged Kensington Palace employment documents....

BBC has reportedly been notified to watch out for an 'extremely important' royal announcement

Flags at half staff... major announcement imminent... any guesses on what's going on? I believe the King may have passed.

At 6:30 p.m. on Thursday December 16, 1773, a group of between 100 and 150 Americans raided three East India Company merchantmen moored in Boston and threw 92,000 lb of tea (worth $1.7 million in today’s terms) into the harbor. A central part of the American founding story, the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party is being commemorated this month as a key moment when patriotic Americans fought back against the greedy British and their oppressive taxation policies that forced up prices on commodities such as tea, which in turn led to the American Revolution. But the truth is...

Back in 2005, Russian President Vladimir Putin ensured that the remains of the Russian philosopher Ivan Ilyin were transported from Switzerland and reburied in Russia, on the territory of the prestigious Donskoi Monastery cemetery in Moscow. The gravestone was installed with Putin’s personal money. A year later, the philosopher’s archive was purchased from the University of Michigan for 40 thousand dollars and relocated to Russia. Since the beginning of the 21st century, Putin has constantly been using Ilyin’s philosophical ideas in his speeches. But why is Putin paying so much attention to this philosopher who is otherwise unknown to the...

Dubai Ports Worls to divest itself of all American interests

Police have entered a Lufthansa plane at Brussels airport, 13 hours after a group of Iranian monachists began a hunger strike and sit-in.

August 11, 2004 A King for All Epochs by Thomas A. Droleskey Although it is exactly two weeks before his feast day, this reflection on Saint Louis IX, King of France, is being posted at this time as we will be on the road without regular or reliable access to the Internet. Rather than take a chance of missing paying a tribute to this king for all epochs, I thought it best to prepare this article, part of which borrows heavily from a section of “Catholicism and the State,” to offer some food for thought about a true exemplar...

As my freeper friends are aware, my mother is an immigrant from Seville, Spain, while my father is an Spanish-American whose family has lived in Florida since 1821, just when America was begining to take control of Florida from Spanish control. I still have relatives living in Seville and Valencia, including an elderly aunt. My Spanish family is outraged by the massacre perpetrated by Islamo-fascists. They are also angry at the government of Prime Minister Aznar, for not having done enough to protect the Spanish people from terrorism, especially when Spain was heading for the election season when the government...
