Liu Xiaobo is currently in confinement in China and was unable to accept the award in person. Nor were any of his close relatives able to be present to receive the award on his behalf. The laureate was therefore represented by an empty chair on the dais.<br /><br />Singer Marita Kvarving Søberg opened the ceremony with an interpretation of “Solveig’s Song” by Edvard Grieg, accompanied by pianist Håvard Gimse.<br /><br />In his speech, Chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee Thorbjørn Jagland explained why the committee decided to award the prize to Liu Xiaobo this year:<br /><br />„Your Majesties, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2010 to Liu Xiaobo for his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China. The Norwegian Nobel Committee has long believed that there is a close connection between human rights and peace. Such rights are a prerequisite for the "fraternity between nations" of which Alfred Nobel wrote in his will.“<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRxftOq8UH4kzG4COrdnyBtA4OZh29hRktNOidl6GXBswW7vezaMSKjlCmdNxl45zk38gGmqp2P-kpjO2AXMtrc6xmxpi2M22Wo-dmF34f_iKrgKPLtoM3imB9cGlvRjm6d8Cc8xkZZtGa/s1600/NOBEL+PEACE+PRIZE+2010-2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 343px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRxftOq8UH4kzG4COrdnyBtA4OZh29hRktNOidl6GXBswW7vezaMSKjlCmdNxl45zk38gGmqp2P-kpjO2AXMtrc6xmxpi2M22Wo-dmF34f_iKrgKPLtoM3imB9cGlvRjm6d8Cc8xkZZtGa/s400/NOBEL+PEACE+PRIZE+2010-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549923198493164514" border="0" /></a><br />Mr Jagland concluded his speech with a symbolic presentation of the award by placing the Nobel Peace Prize medal and diploma on the empty chair which Liu Xiaobo would have occupied.<br /><br />Mr Jagland’s speech was followed by a performance by Chinese-American violinist Lynn Chang.<br /><br />Actress Liv Ullmann read the speech Liu Xiaobo gave in his defence at his trial on 23 September 2009 – “I Have No Enemies”. Two days after the trial he was sentenced to 11 years in prison. The ceremony concluded with traditional Norwegian songs sung by the children’s choir of the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet.<br /><br />On the evening of 10 December, King Harald and Queen Sonja attended the traditional Nobel Banquet at the Grand Hotel in Oslo in honour of the laureate.

Serbia might need to turn to another avenue that they have to recover from the financial crisis and enter the European Union sooner- Constitutional Monarchy. Certainly the return of constitutional monarchy after almost 70 years would attract media attention and without a doubt erase Serbia’s image of war and replace with a more elegant picture. And what about the European Union? Let’s not forget that almost half of the initial participant countries in the European Union were Constitutional Monarchies. One quarter of European countries are constitutional monarchies today, out of 27 countries in the European Union, Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom are.<br /><br />Do constitutional monarchies lead to better lives? In fact 5 out of 10 richest countries in Europe are Constitutional Monarchies. According to reports, Luxembourg is the richest country in Europe. It possesses the highest GDP of $ 81,730 per capita when measured on purchasing power parity followed by Norway: Norwegians enjoy the second highest GDP per capita (PPP) in Europe having $ 55,198. The Netherlands has the 16th largest economy in the world, and ranks 10th in GDP (nominal) per capita; GDP (purchasing power parity) of Netherlands is $ 40,433. Denmark is the eight richest countries in Europe with GDP (PPP) $ 38,207 per capita and Sweden is ninth richest country of Europe having $ 37,525 GDP (Purchasing power parity) per capita.<br /><br />Forbes ranked the best countries to live in 2008 and the list again shows the constitutional monarchy countries of Norway, ranked No. 1, scoring 82% while Sweden was not far behind posting a score of 81.4%. Other monarch countries in the top 10 include New Zealand (79%), Denmark (75%) and the Netherlands (74%).<br /><br />Why Constitutional Monarchy? Why Tradition? Is there an advantage to have a head that has no political affiliations? Who is there to provide unity, continuity and peace? Does monarchy help with lowering corruption? The 2010 Corruption Perceptions Index shows that nearly three quarters of the 178 countries in the index score below five, on a scale from 10 (highly clean) to 0 (highly corrupt). The 12 out of the top 20 which had scores above 7.5 are monarchies and include Denmark, New Zealand, Sweden, Canada, Netherlands, Barbados, Australia, Norway, Luxembourg, Japan, Qatar and the United Kingdom. Serbia ranked 78th with a score of 3.5. These monarchies in Europe are Constitutional Monarchies provide unity, continuity and peace not political interference.<br /><br />Will having Constitutional Monarchy in Serbia influence the European Union? Certainly it could not hurt. Does it mean anything that the European Union is located in a country that has a Constitutional Monarchy? In fact, there is no doubt that the image of monarchy creates money. Overseas tourists flocking to sites linked to the British royals is generating around 500 million pounds a year, reveals research from VisitBritain.<br /><br />A United Nations 2009 human development report ranking 187 countries shows that 6 out of the top ten are monarchies. Norway, Australia, Canada, Netherlands, Sweden, Japan. Actually, if you look at the Annual report on the Quality of Life in different countries, you will notice that more than half of the countries in the first 10 are Monarchies (UK, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Denmark, Spain, Belgium, etc.).So believe it or not, life could actually better under Constitutional Monarchies.<br />“A symbol is a concretization. Every human being, even the most depraved of the moderns, needs something tangible, something to point to and say to themselves and others: "This is what I believe," or "this is what I am.”<br /><br />So what’s the negative? Will Serbia accept more charitable contributions, more possibilities to enter the European Union, an elegant image, gracious hosts, business people from all over the world gracing the steps of the Palaces, and promotion of Serbia throughout the world? Many Serbs support this notion, and other Serbs relish on all the benefits it brings. “There will be only good benefits, and I don’t see that there will be any more strain on the country.” said Jelena Tasic a student in Belgrade.<br /><br />But would Crown Prince Alexander continue to commit to dedicating his life to Serbia with the endless hours of work associated? The answer is yes; even with all of this he'd be happy to take the throne. A typical day for the Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine range from the charitable to investor promotion to international public relations for S<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJkHr0t9Uc-dUJT4lEr2QktG9YzP5gEugBMKW-JtVsWTl3ceDC1NfWG35ljo-Simc3QsSA5Bu89-kTVKPyorZ8QJ0pnuFmUZAGSdLsQVAzmQ08d-tnKaYelS_3iAVcT5_9tnIXG0VovoY/s1600/Srbija+Grb-Veliki-1.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 334px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJkHr0t9Uc-dUJT4lEr2QktG9YzP5gEugBMKW-JtVsWTl3ceDC1NfWG35ljo-Simc3QsSA5Bu89-kTVKPyorZ8QJ0pnuFmUZAGSdLsQVAzmQ08d-tnKaYelS_3iAVcT5_9tnIXG0VovoY/s400/Srbija+Grb-Veliki-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533566775984071858" border="0" /></a>erbia.

All this attributes to tens of millions a year in support for Serbia. There is even a Monarchy for Serbia group that has reared up recently in the country with tens of thousands of members.<br /><br />The bottom line is that Kingdom of Serbia seems to make good business sense<br /></div>Монархистичка Иницијативаhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05426823545370510224noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704517274865203668.post-24203442501019527862010-10-20T22:17:00.004+02:002010-10-21T00:51:38.710+02:00SPANISH NATIONAL DAY PARADE<div style="text-align: right; font-family: verdana;"><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxmBtU3RlQxayw33nDiB1ChbAtSbiFCX9lYUOWGQueZTUbVk01j3b8H2Xgfsi8HPBzIqnV5QL33nbO2ZUByhQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Spanish air force planes and helicopters flew in formation across Madrid for the annual Oct. 12 national holiday, this year marked by cutbacks.<br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjawZYDu3kYCBgw-DHE5iaQarwYawDGbBYKl6WcmuLI3pgYER7TELQ_QHaGLDYW3UtrINvSC5FhUD56AZqEKV9nxN73HAwPugOYfhU-AeOUoex1K6-dPq0OmKJyGHolB_vMHJx5FQ8ljFye/s1600/Spanish+National+Day+parade1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 314px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjawZYDu3kYCBgw-DHE5iaQarwYawDGbBYKl6WcmuLI3pgYER7TELQ_QHaGLDYW3UtrINvSC5FhUD56AZqEKV9nxN73HAwPugOYfhU-AeOUoex1K6-dPq0OmKJyGHolB_vMHJx5FQ8ljFye/s400/Spanish+National+Day+parade1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530243164932878002" border="0" /></a>Thousands of people lined the sidewalks to watch Tuesday's military procession of troops and tanks held to celebrate Hispanic Day.

With the republic, however, it is the other way round. And it is no wonder, when we know that the kingdom was founded by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_Nemanja">Nemanja</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Sava">Saint Sava</a>, and the republic was founded by Josip Broz Tito. Tito is Stefan Nemanja of the Republic of Serbia. When Serbia became a kingdom, it was one of the most important dates in her history, and many studies have been written about it. None have been written about how it ceased to be a kingdom and lost her crown, as if it never had anything, or lost anything. And Serbia didn’t lose just the crown, it lost her head as well.<br /><br />Today’s Serbia is a perfect example of what a country that had never been a republic looks like trying to be one. It is a republic which celebrates and praises only what was achieved while it was a kingdom. The biggest problem is that we have our own dynasty. If only the Duchess of Cornwall, if not Prince Charles himself, or Prince Albert of Monaco, or at least Carla Bruni or David Copperfield were pretenders to the Serbian throne, the nation would pull itself together overnight!<br /></div>Монархистичка Иницијативаhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05426823545370510224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704517274865203668.post-50813730861662095172010-03-11T22:52:00.003+01:002010-03-11T22:58:52.315+01:00Kingdom of Morocco and EU deepen bilateral cooperation<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxDizWutMRP-uMNAW2LtG06IV6nJNf8zoher2i5WQ7Xe6azXXat-32qxPmU6MR-AgSnmtKSg5ewx7XbcX0tTEAnUkXA0WcuOm-OAP_30I6YSk5qfVJEoxr5frFzwFswZOWuWLSpiU6_osB/s1600-h/Coat+of+arms+Morocco.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 184px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxDizWutMRP-uMNAW2LtG06IV6nJNf8zoher2i5WQ7Xe6azXXat-32qxPmU6MR-AgSnmtKSg5ewx7XbcX0tTEAnUkXA0WcuOm-OAP_30I6YSk5qfVJEoxr5frFzwFswZOWuWLSpiU6_osB/s200/Coat+of+arms+Morocco.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447499080415934338" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:verdana;">HM King Mohammed VI has sent a message to the EU-Morocco Summit held on March 7 in Granada, Spain. In his message the King reaffirms his country’s pro-European commitment and advocates moving towards „an exceptional association“.

I think you have a cutting out a person who would be a member of a political party, a president of a political party and replacing him with a person who’s neutral, not a member of any party, not a president of a party and a meeting point and a point of continuity. This is no disrespect to a current president – who may be become a prime minister – we’d have the same politicians as we have now, but we’d have minus one. So, they’d have continuity and no argument.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:hyphenationzone>21</w:HyphenationZone> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Verdana; panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4; mso-font-charset:238; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:536871559 0 0 0 415 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Arial; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} @page Section1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:70.85pt 2.0cm 70.85pt 3.0cm; mso-header-margin:35.4pt; mso-footer-margin:35.4pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:100%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><br /><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><o:p></o:p></span> </div></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyuPFAcGD7FuIEp4d0NrRcTWC0yhN7wfwA5C_FbIGVKU1qnyyM4o5VsaZJ8m69og7yjEX2FcMMNBVBgbPQkAw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">What do you feel was the biggest risk trying to go home before 2001?</span><o:p></o:p></span> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;">Games, incredible games of </span><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%;" lang="EN-US">the intelligence service</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;">.

He taught economics at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and at John Hopkins University in Bologna<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">.<br /><br /></span></span></span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lew_Rockwell">Lew Rockwell</a>:</span> Dr. Hoppe, tell us a little bit about democracy and monarchy<span style="font-weight: bold;">?<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hans-Hermann Hoppe:</span> The first point that needs to be made is that states, whether monarchical or democratic, are not firms. They do not produce anything that is sold in the market and receive payment for the goods that are produced, but they live off taxes which are course of payment made to them. So, I will neither advocate monarchies, nor am I advocate of democracies, but if one has to choose between two evils, monarchical state and democratic state, then monarchies have certain advantages. The reason is that kings were generally perceived by the public for what they are, that is, privileged individuals who could tax their subjects, and because everybody knew „I cannot become a king“, there was resistance against attempts on the part of kings to increase taxes into increased exploitation of their subjects.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;">Under democracy, the illusion rises that we all rule ourselves, even though it should be perfectly clear, of course, that also under a democracy there exist rulers and people who are ruled, but, because of the fact that everybody can potentially become a public employee, the illusion of „we rule ourselves“ arises, and this then leads to reduction of the resistance that existed vis-à-vis kings when it came to attempt of increasing tax revenue.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;">But there is an even more important disadvantage of democracy as compared to monarchy. One can imagine a king to be person who regards a country as his private property and the people living in his country as his tenants who pay some sort of rent to the king. On the other hand, if we have democratic politicians, they do not own the country as a king does, they are temporary caretakers of the country for four years, eight years and so forth, and the role of an owner versus a role of a caretaker is very, very different. One can imagine, for instance, that I make somebody owner of the house, so that he can sell the house in the market, that he can determine who will be his successor, who will be his heir, and, on the other hand, I give a house, the same kind, to somebody and make him for four years the caretaker of this house. That is, he can not sell the house, he can not determine who will be the heir, but he can make as much income out of using the house for a temporary period of time. And this will imply that temporary caretaker will use up the capital value embodied in the country in as fast time as possible, because, after all, he does not have to bear the cost of capital consumption, after all, the house is not his. Whereas a king, being the owner of the house, has a longer-term perspective, he will not want to use up the value embodied in the house as quickly as possible, after all, that would be reflected in a lower price of the house or of the country, and it would be reflected, of course, in the lower value of property being passed on to the next generation. So, a king has a long-run perspective, wants to preserve, and possibly, enhance the value of the country, whereas a democratic politician has a short-run orientation and wants to maximize his income as quickly as possible at the expense of losses in capital value.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lew Rockwell:</span> One of the points that you made in your book, Democracy: God that failed, that most impressed me, was the difference in wars waged under monarchs and under democracies, that there’s a reason why monarchical wars tended to be, what Mises described as “soldiers of wars”, whereas the democratic wars involved mass murders of civilians on a scale, of course, never before seen in human history<span style="font-weight: bold;">.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hans-Hermann Hoppe:</span> And that began with something to do with the fact that monarchs considered countries as their property, and the reason for going to war, were typically, property disputes. Do I own this castle or somebody else owns this castle? Do I own this province or does somebody else? The objective was always limited, whereas democratic wars tend to be ideological wars. You want to liberate a country, you want to convert them to a different ideology and it is difficult to determine when you have actually achieved this goal. The only sure way to determine it is to kill the entire population of the country that you tried to invade or occupy, whereas a monarch, of course, would never have this interest, after all, he wants to add a certain province, a certain town, a certain castle to his own private estate, and wants to cause as little damage as possible. So, for monarchs, it was easy to begin a war, but it was always also very easy to determine when the objective had been reached, and the war came to an end. There was never any ideological motivation why different kings went to war against each other, whereas under democracies, in civil or religious wars, it is a clash of civilizations, a clash of value systems, and that makes it almost impossible to ever come to an end in wars and, in addition, kings’ wars were considered to be king’s by the public. Kings had to rely, by and large, on volunteers fighting their wars, whereas under democracies the entire country goes to war and all the resources of the entire country than can be dedicated to the war, and typically, with democracy, came also the draft. In the US nowadays we do not have a draft, but the typical situation for democracies is of course, that we do have a draft, people can be drawn into a war and forced into a war with the argument that “now you have a stake in the war, under democracy, now that you have a stake in the state, you must also fight the wars of the state", whereas under monarchy people did not have a stake in the state, it was considered to be the king’s affair, the public was entirely different entity from the state, and because of that their involvement in the war was very limited<span style="font-weight: bold;">.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lew Rockwell:</span> The late Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, whom we both had the honor of knowing, used to point out that one of the things he liked about monarchical government was that there was much less nationalism, which is a feature of the 20th century and the 21st century, and that nobody thought there was anything wrong with, say, a German nobleman going into the employ of the Tsarina of Russia, nor people fighting on various sides were considered „traitors“. Of course, with the rise of democracy, we had the rise of this belligerent and unfortunate philosophy of nationalism<span style="font-weight: bold;">.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hans-Hermann Hoppe:</span> The high aristocracy is, so to speak, the most international group of people. Almost all high noblemen are intermarried, interrelated with noblemen in other countries. The German Kaiser was related to the British rulers and to the Russian rulers, Kuehnelt-Leddihn even pointed out that all ruling houses in Europe were also related in some indirect way to Muhammad, through Islamic countries, and because those were family feuds, so to speak, feeling of nationalism was something impossible for them to arise, because they themselves were the most international class of people around, so nationalistic feelings were entirely strange and unusual for a class such as that.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/hoppe/hoppe4.html"><br /></a></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/hoppe/hoppe4.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >DEMOCRACY: THE GOD THAT FAILED</span></a><br /></div></div>Монархистичка Иницијативаhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05426823545370510224noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704517274865203668.post-69159278041181414802009-09-24T12:06:00.003+02:002009-09-24T12:16:54.224+02:00Princesses open Museum “M” in Leuven<div face="verdana" style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBb1NzdwYRkXgAeDf-E1Vv34HcL7QPHki6asHiNhFQc5fdOA5XiHFOKpsXeNIqiHRkuGUfdc9zASqptWYpf4r3krWq9TWshjMx9iOsdNVglcSJg5E7djsPVHqcfXwcLIuViTFKu9juWmo/s1600-h/princesses1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBb1NzdwYRkXgAeDf-E1Vv34HcL7QPHki6asHiNhFQc5fdOA5XiHFOKpsXeNIqiHRkuGUfdc9zASqptWYpf4r3krWq9TWshjMx9iOsdNVglcSJg5E7djsPVHqcfXwcLIuViTFKu9juWmo/s400/princesses1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384975048890836274" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: verdana;">HRH Princess Mathilde of Belgium and HRH Princess Maxima of the Netherlands, officially opened the new Museum M last Sunday, the renovated city museum of Leuven, one of the oldest cities in the Low Countries, which hosts one of the oldest universities of Europe.

Secession from Britain was a mistake. It's easy enough to realize that the Constitution was not some libertarian achievement as conservatives and libertarians delude themselves into thinking. The Declaration of Independence in 1776 led to all the standard evils of war and raising an army – in the words of Jeff Hummel, "unfunded government debt, paper money, skyrocketing inflation, price controls, legal tender laws, direct impressment of supplies and wide-spread conscription." Hmm, doesn't sound very libertarian to me. Stealing, conscripting, enslaving, murdering. The glorification of democracy. The expansion of empire. The entrenching of corporatist interests with the state. The substitution of traditional order with worship of the democratic state.<br /><br />Monarchy isn't perfect, as Hoppe argues, but the move from monarchy to democracy was not "progress" as even some libertarians have mistakenly believed (as Hoppe notes, "although aware of the economic and ethical deficiencies of democracy, both Mises and Rothbard had a soft spot for democracy and tended to view the transition from monarchy to democracy as progress"). When I suggest it was a mistake to secede from Britain, libertarians – brainwashed by both Saturday morning Schoolhouse Rock propaganda (No More Kings; Fireworks; Three-Ring Government; The Preamble) and Randian pro-America mythology – freak out. "You want us to have a king? How terrible?!" or "But Britain is more socialist than we are!" Well, first, I don't want us to have a king. I'd prefer we have no state: no kings or congresscritters or revenuers. But we have a king now, under another name; he can tax and murder us, just like the dreaded monarchian boogey-man; the state is overlord of all our property, as in feudalism. And rejoining socialist Britain now would be terrible – but would the European monarchies have become democratic socialist states if America had never left Britain? Our secession led to a constructivist new utopian order based on a "rational, scientific" paper document and the rejection of traditional, unwritten, limits on state power, thus setting the world on the path of democracy and democratic tyranny, and all the evils of the 20th Century-WWI, WWII, the Holocaust, the Cold War, Communism, Naziism, Fascism, Great Depressions I and II. America's reckless utopianism corrupted its mother state, rendering it unfit to rejoin. But had we never left? One percent tax paid to a distant King over the ocean sound appealing, anyone?<br /><br />If I didn't hate states and flags so much I might just fly the ole Union Jack this Saturday!<br /></div>Монархистичка Иницијативаhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05426823545370510224noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704517274865203668.post-16345401973274007832009-07-15T10:00:00.000+02:002009-07-15T11:06:58.763+02:00Prince Charles handed CBE to Robert Plant<div style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>Robert Plant was honoured as a CBE by Prince Charles in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace last Friday, letting the former Led Zeppelin singer finally one-up guitarist Jimmy Page.<br /><br /><a style="font-family: verdana;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLUFDjnDCCeTI6MLauf1GwiFzSfGH41fJ6-W-MD4zRAI88zHW7DcbFU35B4dTo1dTw13YtzG2EYMA5BjjN1tJMpWHSh00lu07vTzbJN0jCi29xMgkJnV_4pa0x2UmwCebdHuWcm0XIwGw/s1600-h/plant.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLUFDjnDCCeTI6MLauf1GwiFzSfGH41fJ6-W-MD4zRAI88zHW7DcbFU35B4dTo1dTw13YtzG2EYMA5BjjN1tJMpWHSh00lu07vTzbJN0jCi29xMgkJnV_4pa0x2UmwCebdHuWcm0XIwGw/s400/plant.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358375311784511746" border="0" /></a>While Page is a member of the Order of the British Empire, Plant now outranks him with his new title of Commander of the British Empire.<br /><br />Led Zeppelin have not played together since their one-off O2 Arena gig in December 2007.

Thank you for your time, and attention to the cry for freedom and democracy on the streets of Iran. I can tell you, first hand, how much my compatriots are appreciative of your generous attention to their plight. The best I can do for you today is to recount what my fellow Iranians tell me about their conditions, hopes and fears.</span> <span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzDAlT70zGXp5tOt4HeLvz7Y9Tfr8PgN42vDCg4193bNCroy9HGdAlk4kAtkLe5zKpQaHCjkCSYxSDWQEIVFA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Bear in mind that for the great majority of Iranians born after the Islamic Revolution, the unfolding events are the most significant transforming experiences of their collective memory. The courage of their convictions gives hope for peace and democracy in the most troubling region of the world. On the other hand, their defeat will encourage extremism from the shores of the Levant, to the energy jugular of the world. At the very least it will threaten regional tranquility and global economic recovery through fears of terrorism, slowdown of globalization and steeply higher energy prices. At worst, fanatical tyrants - who know that the future is against them - may end their present course on their terms: a nuclear holocaust.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">But which will it be? That is the question of the day. My message to you is: do not underestimate the role you play in the outcome. International media are already the information artery connecting different parts of the freedom movement in Iran. That is why the regime has ominously warned media, that only officially approved reports can be dispatched out of the country. Having restricted the return path of media, they are also jamming electronic transmission and restricting internet traffic into the country. But it is the third leg of communication, from people to people, from one resistance cell to another, and from leaders to supporters inside Iran, of which the regime is most fearful. They cannot fight people who stand together. Only an information blackout can isolate individuals, so that they can be oppressed separately. Thus the outcome of this struggle will depend on your ability, the free media, to fight their blackout with the light of information.</span> <span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><br />Your second contribution is keeping your political leaders informed about the brutal violence of the regime's plain-clothes thugs against unarmed people. Your governments have insisted that they would not interfere in Iran's internal affairs. I applaud that. Any such attempt will give the tyrants the excuse they need to paper over their own differences, and target every man struggling for freedom as a foreign agent. But that is not all they do. They are painting every statement in defense of human rights as foreign interference, benefiting from the confusion between the two. It is vital that the free world not fall for such cruel cynicism in the name of realpolitik.</span> <span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><br />The Universal Declaration of Human Rights knows no national boundaries. Its defense is not only a matter of ethics, but a mutual obligation of all governments who are its signatories. It is also in their interest. No one will benefit from closing his or her eyes to knives and cables cutting into faces and mouths of our young and old, or from bullets piercing our beloved "Neda" whose only sin was the quest freedom - no one, no one but tyrants and their thugs. Do not let them define what is disrespect for sovereignty, what is interference in others' affairs.</span> <span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><br />Ladies and Gentlemen,</span> <span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><br />A movement was born on the 22nd of Khordad in my calendar, the 12th of June in yours. It is not Islamic or anti-Islamic, it is not for capitalism or socialism, nor any other ideology or specific form of government. It cares little about historical squabbles before its birth. It is about the sanctity, even more, the sovereignty of the ballot box. It may not succeed immediately. It may have ebbs and flows. But, let me assure you it will not die, because we will not let it die.</span> <span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><br />A week later, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic decided to stand erect as a dam in front of this movement, sanctioning theft of the ballot box and flagrant fraud, all in the name of Islam. It was an ugly moment of disrespect for both God and man. It will not stand. The citizens of Iran will not stand it. And at the end, he will not stand.</span> <span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><br />Rest assured, the Movement of 22nd of Khordad, already invested with the blood of my brave countrymen, with energy and support in every corner of Iran and the globe will not rest until it achieves unfettered democracy and human rights in Iran.<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXr9gc9Fxnflk3dl28Uc3zumap7MJN750G47PwRjg0BprwnExDiAn5kA7NdjK8M7ai4MUTcBc-mesAG1Wbyx0ZdOk-o03eXLeDoK-D67CWGnBcOgvk8WJ-xMQG_STOa9HxyFGOUMw7h2A/s1600-h/Reza+Pahlavi1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 391px; height: 389px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXr9gc9Fxnflk3dl28Uc3zumap7MJN750G47PwRjg0BprwnExDiAn5kA7NdjK8M7ai4MUTcBc-mesAG1Wbyx0ZdOk-o03eXLeDoK-D67CWGnBcOgvk8WJ-xMQG_STOa9HxyFGOUMw7h2A/s400/Reza+Pahlavi1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350300999424820226" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>Монархистичка Иницијативаhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05426823545370510224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704517274865203668.post-86683991374852316512009-06-08T15:00:00.002+02:002009-06-08T15:36:28.885+02:00110th Anniversary of Birth of Friedrich von Hayek<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRbFlYQprrY96EUFSnvUpVyU4UtCwbY7hb_4vZGuERqcsAv_jjc4UwQ7SM9M74YtqrxpuSGhK23tIrWyUOTFaPOGtJ2uPbSSSsvmUZUV5lk_KpZVIps-9BkFn0VPxwKABmBj7EQMGTkzI/s1600-h/Hayek1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 336px; height: 399px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRbFlYQprrY96EUFSnvUpVyU4UtCwbY7hb_4vZGuERqcsAv_jjc4UwQ7SM9M74YtqrxpuSGhK23tIrWyUOTFaPOGtJ2uPbSSSsvmUZUV5lk_KpZVIps-9BkFn0VPxwKABmBj7EQMGTkzI/s400/Hayek1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344949328436155698" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Hayek"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >Friedrich August von Hayek</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"> (8 May 1899 – 23 March 1992) is rivaled by only Adam Smith as the preeminent theorist of the market system. Hayek's account of how changing relative prices communicate signals which enable individuals to coordinate their unique plans in an ever changing world is widely regarded as one of the landmark achievements of economic science. This and a host of other important contributions has made Hayek one of the most influential economists of modern times. One of the great polymaths of the 20th century, Hayek also made significant contributions in jurisprudence, neuroscience, philosophy and the history of ideas.</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br />In 1974 Hayek shared the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics with Gunnar Myrdal "for their pioneering work in the theory of money and economic fluctuations and for their penetrating analysis of the interdependence of economic, social and institutional phenomena."

After his twenty-minute audience with the Queen, he was "absolutely besotted" with her according to his daughter-in-law, Esca Hayek. Hayek said a year later that he was "amazed by her. That ease and skill, as if she'd known me all my life". The audience with the Queen was followed by a dinner with family and friends at the Institute of Economic Affairs. When, later that evening, Hayek was dropped off at the Reform Club, he commented: "I've just had the happiest day of my life".</span><br /></div>Монархистичка Иницијативаhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05426823545370510224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704517274865203668.post-6779051172728587642009-06-07T12:00:00.000+02:002009-06-07T12:44:12.169+02:00SERBIAN ROYAL COUPLE AT THE SUSAN G.
