King Charles 111 and Matters Relatng

 

 King Charles111 and Matters Relating

Now that the Coronation and Entertainment is over, it will be back to  the Business of the Royal business for our much admired King - The Man of worth and hopefully unrestricted opinion, by outdated protocols.

With this in mind, I would like to raise once, again the subject of  a Royal "Pardon List".

I wrote to the late Queen Elizabeth, a letter which I will quote here. Tuesday 27 February 2018

"Dear Your Majesty

Good Morning

Subject- The Queens Pardon List

This is my third letter to you and the final one. The two previous were, first the call for Prince Charles be given your position  and the second, requesting you not to sign any document on Brexit,until everyone is certain, that,  that is what Great Britain really wants.

We  all are  interested in the 'Queens Honours List' both here and in the UK. Most of the recipients are well known and well paid for their efforts and a respectful number, to people who are pure volunteers in their field of endeavour.

This letter is one of requesting you consider the setting up of a 'Queens Pardon List' .This would be made up of peoplewho it is considered, have been held/bailed up by the Law (AT Her Majesties Pleasure!) and activated by Police and Prison Authorities, for far too long and other reasons, ie Freedom of Passage to where ever they want to go.A little like those people held for so long in Quantanamo Bay. People like cheeky Mossam Begg, UK and two fellos from here      in Australia,All safely Home.  

Of course I have my candidate for such a pardon, Julian Assarge (Weekki Leaks founder) currently bailed uo in the Puruvian Embassy there in London. He has done nothing wrong or harmed any one. It seems he is simply nervous, that the American's will, forcibly move in and wisk him off to the US.if he makes a move on his own. The local Magistrate appears biased against him beyond belief. Goodness knows what it has cost him and the UK Tax. payer.

What I suggest' is  the list could be made on your official birthday in June 2018. I do hope you,will consider my proposal.

Most sincerely yours.

CC HRH Prince Charles and Prime Minister Theresa May

Of the letters I have written over the years , her correspondence person relayed the message, 'Her Majesty remains strictly non political at all times and therefore the Queen would not comment on my subject'  However I did once get her complete attention, when on suggesting, on her birthday at -------yrs of age ,she hand over the reigns to Prince Charles.

The reply came firm and fast, I had quoted her age as a year older than she was. I was informed of her correct age and she had no intention of abdicating--loud and clear enough!!.

Of course over the years she had opinion on most things, however she seemed to comply with Downing Streets requests for signature --Iraq  Afghanistan Brexit etc.

Ok, I hope His Majesty will have his say and influence on future meetings with the UK Prime Minister.

UK Prisons are designated "His Majesties Prison"  this or that- King Charles  therefore, in these modern times, as of old ,have the authority to say who should be pardoned or sent to the Tower, as it were

 I call on His Majesty to establish a "PARDON LIST" and number one to be Julian Assarge, currently held at His Majesties pleasure in a H M Prison.

This blog applies to all people encaserratd, in Prisons,for far TOO LONG. In this case let us remind ourselves that Chelsea Manning was pardoned by Pres;: Obama, the person who started it all. The USA must atop the vindictiveness and call off theWolves!!.

As Prince Charles , he knew of my journey to the UK and my submission, to the inquest on the passing of Princess Diana, via PM Mrs Thatcher's good offices.

I do hope His Majesty, will instigate a Pardon List as outlined in this blog of Hope.for the Fair Go..

 Seal Class Submarine Proposal

 Introduction

There is and has been a lot of  discussion around a  new Submarine Project for Australia. The USA and UK have proposed a quite  bizarre,  kind of strategy that Australia must and will comply and has history knows, what UK says ,we follow, like good fello's. After all UK the Military Fortress and with a very military Royal family as InWW11 we did what Churchill told us, like turning troopships of tired  soldiers around back into conflict and we complied.We appear still have that mentality.

As we are part pf the Commonwealth, King Charles111 will probably sign off without question, as did his mother, on Iraq and Afghanistan. Australia, do as you are told and pay up, when invoiced by :UK or USA

A little Mason history is necessary,has I go back quite a while, 90 years young, August 2025 but not 'brain dead', just a little unsteady on my legs like past President Biden.

My first encounter with submarines, was ages 11-12! a private in the Gloucester regiment of Army Cadets, under age I think,.A day.trip,on camp to a Sub: base in Weymouth, Down the Hatch and that was OK, but when I heard the Hatch closed and locked, Mason went off his little head and they quickly put me outside, not off the Sub,but a kind of charge for being silly---whew never again it was cold out there on that deck.

Years later my brother in law became a Sub Mariner and loved it. what class of machine he never said of course. Still proud of UK's military, particularly the Navy. Out of it now of course. Talking to him it is clear that USA sailors are no more intelligent than most other nationalities and they are all quite capable of operating Nuclear machines with the same training. Just like Jet Pilots or power station operatives, complicated possibly  but mostly computor activated and controlled.

Years later I was to be active in criticising the Collins Class build, Swedish designed machine .A white water Submarine for Blue water operation. A disaster to say the least. At the moment I hear they are not operational and do not have Captains- Top Naval Brass should be should  down, with immediate effect.

What is a Submarine?, for this I go back to the late 1960's. Mason was with Chrysler in the UK.

All the top advertising people from around the World, Detroit New York etc, were gathered in London, complete with the Chrysler CEO. On the agenda was budget etc for advertising the groups "COMPACT VANS' and they droned on about the differences and advantages of this or that van. I whispered to my American boss of Truck Strategies, that they were hopeless, he smiled in his mid American way and stood up .Yes Jack said the chair,. Malcolm Mason my big gun on Vans and Trucks, would like to say something. Down the path, to what I thought would be my demise and up to the podiem. 

My words where I think. We should start from basic's -- WHAT IS VAN, once we know that the rest will follow.--------Silence, then came the a response,OK Mac please go on.. Ad libing I went on to say there must be parameters, like Wheel base;Position of the wheels;Engine sizes and position,Door and floor arrangements. plus other items I don't remember. Excellent Malcolm and the discussion changed course ,ending the chair advising what we need is a good market research report.

Yes a Company was chosen and an extensive Worldwide survey was achieved. I still have that survey.

The result was the parameters of the van as we know it today World Wide. First Renault; Citroen; Mercedes Benz:Ford Transit;VW. and all these years later came Toyota and now Mitsubishi (The Chrysler associate). First with the strategy but last with the Mason concept, born in London.

What has all this to do with submarines. I say today "WHAT IS A SUBMARINE", because compared with the current designs of what I call the 'Walrus"Class, big and cumbersom and possibly not fit for purpose, we shall see. The male Walrus of course has very big teeth and very powerful, but still a lumbering, giant of a sea animal. Today's subs are just that. Remember the Falklands. The Delgrado! a German built battle ship, came out of harbour. The UK Nuclear powered etc Walrus submarine squared up slowly with it (making sure the QE11 was out of range)   Without warning sent off a torpedo or two and sank her there and then Over 600 Argentinian lives were sencelesly sacrificed . 

At the moment my pigeon post indicated that UK is back there, updating no doubt.

I will propose the Mason Strategy and my thoughts for the future and the parameters required.

The Seal Class machine should be extremely dangerous and we will need at least TEN.to protect our cities and infrastructure. It would be smaller than current designs, with, Seal performance of speed and mobility. The French design of course is the best and ( Cost per Tonne) at the moment and could be well have been on the way by now had we been our own masters.

The operational strategy would be identify threat.attack and get out at high speed; agile at good depth and virtually undetectable. This of course is my new idaea.

WHAT IS A SUBMARINE; The market survey, is the tricky one, In the here and now, I do not have a sample target, so I will have to be the sample. MY original ideas, not any one elses

Size   ---Length 14 to16 M    Beam 3 to 4 M    Height 3M including auxillary rudder.   .

Materials--- Balistic Aluminium skin with inner shield multi stich fabric as in tank outer  body armour. French and Italian, I have samples

Internal structure Timber and hard non flamable plastic

Normal Propulsion- Nuclear using non military grade. Back up Electric.

 Extensive use of Ceramics

 Each one hidden in pens like theold German UBoats and the Atlantic,out of Portugal ww2                      .With water jct propulsion and rear rocket powered propulsion, would have the best Seal like agility.

Torpedo's would be pencil thin rocket powered and capable of  exiting the water some distance from the Submarine ie both sea and air capability

Like a Seal or  a large fish, it would articulated in three parts. Forward;Middle and  Rear. The join need not be waterproof but with a centre Spine, for communication, again like a fish,easy!!.

That's it really  the deadly machine of the future which Australia could  design and build.

COST- For TEN, about  half of what the current proposal,. a project that will end up, with Australia paying the developement bill and still not have FULL control over their OPERATION

Yes Ladies and Gentlemen,a machine designed  and built by us. Helped possibly by the French , plus any machines they have to sell or lend.!!!! in the interim. The same for USA!!!

 Ukraine--Provocateur --Revisited

 Right from the beginning, the story did not quite gel.

Ukraine the Provocateur, definetly YES

Russia required Ukraine as the BUFFER Zone between it and EU/NATO,-Yes

Since the second World War Russia was Ukranes MAIN Trading  partner.--Absolutly

Ukraine wanted to change from Russia to EU/NATO, Again- Yes

Russia said NO.

Starting some time agoe Ukraine began Baiting the Russian Bear, and has never let up. Daily the President  broad cast to the people, telling them stories mostly true some definately not. Under Marshall law the people listened, but there is little they could do. 

Russia hit back hard, but basically avoided the Capital and its many government buildings, including the Presidential building and the President. .They have also avoided hitting grain shipments to the World.

So we had a Ukraine President, really thinking America  EU/ NATO etc were assisting , a Conflict between itself and Russia and I tended to agree in part- But things were not right all.

Meetings of EU's Foreign Ministers and all sorts of other organisations were and are convened and all ANTI Russia and in particular President Putin.

THE NOW- A dear friend who does not read my writings, one day recently casually commented , well Mal I think its a PROXY  CONFLICT. Goodness my little grey cells, started working overtime and like a good mistry it  began to make sense this Catastrophy that is Ukraine and the Actions of its Inexpierienced  President..

The Substitute or Pawn,if it is  A PROXY WAR , is Ukraine itself, being used blatently by the UN; USA; UK; EU;NATO ;Sweden;Poland etc etc. The list is long  and on the same page-" Blame Russia for every thing that is not to their misguided and sometimes quite stupid reasons'

It would appear- All that Russia wants is the buffer zone to be maintained, and maintained it will be, whether President Putin is in power or not.

Ukraine continues  to Bait the  Russian Bear and so the conflict will continue.

Australia supplied Personnel carriers,; USA supply small missile launchers, as did Russia, earlier, enabling them to shoot down a Malaysian Airliner,Germany though collective guilt, offered Tanks and returning the era to the sound of German fire power not to mention churning up the roads and firelds, already damaged by Ukraines, own fire power, They are damaging their own people and infra- structure' of eastern Ukraine.;Poland the historical worst of Ex Nazi concentration camps, still regards parts of  Ukraine as Poland; The UK my country of birth, Well ,is UK as ever, with Brexit is even more misguided, than the rest.; France, I am surprised that they have joined the flow- To share supply of shells (Ammunition) with Australia, so that Ukraine be even more of a nousence. They will fire off until the gun barrels are de-Rifled, bent and use less. .

President Biden skips to the podiem in  Poland, out side in the cold and really gave the game away, smiling has he did it.. USA will support Ukraine, (at a minimal level!), for the moment. He had just visited Kyiv, by train and walked out side with a visibly nervous Zelenskyy , giving the President a hug, a very personal thing for Biden.. Oh dear.

Ukraine revisited.-- Little has changed, Kyiv's main city buildings are intact, The Railways are running and Grain probably  being shipped  via Odessa, Invasion, is a !!!!!!,Conflict yes and as Silvio Berlusconi the Italian Media Magnet said the war could be stopped , if Ukraine stopped their continued shelling etc of Eastern Ukraine, I heartily agree.

Come on World , get real. We out here are not stupid and are beginning to question your real motives.and maybe just maybe realising it really is a PROXY conflict and Ukraine the Substitute or Pawn.

These are Malcolm E Masons  views and not of a group or political. Free and intelligent. Remember Ukraine is under Marshall Law, and their people are NOT free to express their views, particularly when it comes to casualties and damage to infra structure etc.

Just thought- I wonder if Zelenskyy, was astute enough to send a piece HUTA glass for Mrs Biden and the White House . Chernigov was the golden age center, but I am certain their are still glass bowers up to that standard today.2023.
