Thereafter, will it transfigure itself into the Kings Party, the official Royalist Party of these United States, to act as support in the legislature for the Monarchy and be a check against potential rival parties and destabilizing forces. This future Kings Party will not maintain the administrative structure of this current Monarchist Movement and will instead adopt a more decentralized committee structure. The Chancellor will be nominated by the federal committee members from among their ranks to be the presiding officer and speak on their whole behalf. The federal committee is an assembly of one member from each of the States of the Union who in turn have been elected by the committees of each of those States. The State committee members are an assembly for each State based on State populations, with a required 100,000 persons per each member. The State committees in turn, like the federal committee, can appoint a State Chancellor to be the presiding officer and speak on their whole behalf.

I'm sure many of you have noticed a lot of spam posts and fake advertisements being put on this forum, therefor I wanted to inform everyone that I have decided to change the membership criteria from an "Everyone" setting to an "Approval" setting. That way there is at least a filter present, I approve someone, and then as soon as I see one of those spam posts I'll immediately know they are a bot and I will delete their profile at that moment. If any of you notice anything suspicious, don't hesitate to bring it to my attention. Thanks so much everyone. Hope you have a great day and week!

“Democracy could not last, for despotism lies at the door; when the tyranny of the majority leads to chaos, society will submit to rule by the sword” “A democracy is a volcano which conceals the fiery materials of its own destruction.” “The known propensity of a democracy is to licentiousness, which the ambitious call, and the ignorant believe to be, liberty.” “It has never happened in the world, and it never will, that a democracy has been kept out of the control of the fiercest and most turbulent spirits in the society; they will breathe into it all their fury and make it subservient to the worst designs of the worst men.” ~ Fisher Ames, US Representative for Massachusetts, 1758-1808

Today (January 30th, 2022), 373 years ago in 1649, King Charles I is executed on a black draped scaffold in front of the Banqueting House of the Palace of White Hall. Purpose built as a stage for the end of the Monarchy and the ascendency of the Rump Oligarchy and eventually the Cromwellian Tyranny. As Oliver Cromwell had said: “We will cut off his head with the Crown upon it.” The Monarchy would be restored by King Charles I son, King Charles II, but the Monarchy of the Three Kingdoms and eventually Great Britain would not be the same again and has not been since. King Charles I was a decent man, and a good King, despite what his parliamentary opponents propaganda has said of him. He was no tyrant, and during his personal rule the Navy saw a huge expansion, the wars in Europe ended, and no sectarian or political executions took place. Contemporary writing even speak of “no greater peace has England enjoyed” during his rule. John Pym and the puritan parliamentarians would prove more ruthless and more willing to spill blood than King Charles I however.
When parliament was summoned again in 1640 the junto wasted no time, supplanting the Kings prerogatives at almost every turn, committing judicial murders, and sending Mobs to intimidate and brutalized dissenting clergy and members of parliament alike. He was permitted one last meeting with two of his young children, Prince Henry and Princess Elizabeth. Both were in tears and distraught, Charles tells Elizabeth that she will forget this, and warns Henry to not let parliament make a king of him, nor have any aspirations to the crown whilst his older brothers Charles and James still live. The young Prince declares he would be torn in pieces first. His Majesty says one last tearful goodbye, and spend the rest of his time inconsolable. The King went to his death with courage and grace. It was a very cold day, and the King requested an extra shirt to wear so he would not shiver from the weather, as he did not want it to be mistaken for fear of death. His last words were to those around him, as he was unable to be heard by the masses which had gathered: “…For the people, and truly I desire their liberty and freedom as much as any body whomsoever. But I must tell you that their liberty and freedom consists in having of government. Those Laws by which their life and their goods may be most their own. It is not for having share in government, sirs. That is nothing pertaining to them. A subject and a sovereign are clean different things, and therefore until they do that, I mean, that you do put the people in that liberty as I say, certainly they will never enjoy themselves.
Sirs, it was for this that now I am come here. If I would have given way to an arbitrary way, for to have all laws changed according to the power of the sword, I needed not to have come here. And therefore I tell you, and I pray God it be not laid to your charge, that I am the martyr of the people.
In truth, sirs, I shall not hold you much longer, for I will only say thus to you. That in truth I could have desired some little time longer, because I would have put then that I have said in a little more order, and a little better digested than I have done. And, therefore, I hope that you will excuse me.
I have delivered my conscience. I pray God, that you do take those courses that are best for the good of the kingdom and your own salvation…I go from a corruptible, to an incorruptible Crown, where no disturbance can be, no disturbance in the world…” When the axe fell a horrible groan rose up from the crowd, the like of which had not been heard nor do any desire to hear again…

“In former days, when wars arose from individual causes, from the policy of a Minister or the passion of a King, when they were fought by small regular armies of professional soldiers, and when their course was retarded by the difficulties of communication and supply, and often suspended by the winter season, it was possible to limit the liabilities of the combatants. But now, when mighty populations are impelled on each other, each individual severally embittered and inflamed—when the resources of science and civilization sweep away everything that might mitigate their fury, an European war can only end in the ruin of the vanquished and the scarcely less fatal commercial dislocation and exhaustion of the conquerors. Democracy is more vindictive than Cabinets. The wars of peoples will be more terrible than those of kings.” - Sir Winston Churchill

In Welcome to the Forum
Greetings! We decided as a movement that we had invested far too much in one platform; i.e. Facebook. Facebook was a great platform to start out and it was the prime location where we grew up from a small seed and idea to a fairly recognizable movement among monarchists. But now that we have grown so much it would be foolish of us to keep all our eggs in one basket, so the executive choice was taken to revive our blog and forum on this website and have it serve as the hub for all our future projects and movements. We might decide to separate out the blog and forum as a different website from this one, but for the time being having the blog and forum attached to this website for ease of access seemed the best route to take. Most, if not all, of our posts from Facebook will be transferred to this blog and therefore preserved should Facebook limitations and censorship prove too burdensome on us. We hope all of you that have supported us on that planform will follow us here and keep maintaining our efforts!
