Eric did a great job with that Wizard of Oz piece, no doubt about it. If you aren't following him I highly suggest you do. He is a very talented author and great person.
I remember that Bowie song but not word for word, I need to go listen to it and refresh my memory. Thanks for pointing that out to me.
It shouldn't surprise anyone that the Queen and Prince Charles would be in on that situation you mentioned, according to the Paris Treaty of Peace in 1783 the "The United States of America" is property of the Crown. King George was no fool, he gave up the "United States" and retained "The United States of America". The United States still owes literally tons of gold to the Crown's banks for war bonds from our civil war here.It is all written down , people just need to go and read it.
How is that for more than meets the eye?
