THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP IS FAKE

The United States of America, America for short in plain language, is again under assault by the British monarchy!

But this time it is different. A dying king, representing perhaps the last chapter of the German dynasty that has ruled over England for about three centuries, was sent by his socialist government again with empty pockets and open hands.

The visit of Charles Windsor (Battenberg-Sachse Coburg Gotha) styled in his country as King Charles III, is said to be one more manifestation of “the special relationship” that ties the past and the future of England to America. That special relationship is brought to the headlines only when the British government wants something. In this case, as in most of the XXI century, when the failed socialist or socialistic conservative governments needed support. Just notice that speaking of a “socialist monarchy” is an oxymoron.

That special relationship did not exist during colonial times. Obviously was not there during the period of the war of independence, and not during the entirety of the XIX century. It only began when the European monarchies started another war among royal families in the early XX century that ended in the demise of most of their empires and kingdoms after WW I. It also gave rise to soviet communism in the former Russian Empire. It also marks the emergence of all the garden varieties of socialism that today control the politics of Europe. In England it was known as Fabian socialism, transformed later into the Labour Party, still in control today.

It is true there has been an intellectual, political and emotional connection between Old England and New England. As the traditional center of the early American identity, WASPISH New England has perpetuated the errors and political inclinations of the Old World view as seen by the “ruling class” elite on both sides of the Atlantic, particularly in the academic world. It is a bias reflected in the myth of the WASPs: a white-Anglo-Saxon and protestant nation. This is clearly evidently perpetuated in the fake “special relationship” between the United States and England.

This label is the half-truth and mask made up by Winston Churchill to obtain the support and subsidies needed by their failed socialist-monarchy during WW II when they were losing the war. He felt so at home the four occasions he slept in the White House residence, he walked around in his underwear while drunk. The Churchill family’s personal details reflect that special relationship too. Winston’s mother was a New York socialite that married with her own inheritance of dollars. His cousin Charles Spencer-Churchill, the 9th Duke of Marlborough, married Consuelo Vanderbilt-Balsan, heiress to one of the largest Vanderbilt fortunes of the Gilded Age of New York. The duke obtained a large dowry and reportedly used it to "save Blenheim Palace", his ancestral home. More than 20 such millionaire brides were reported in the social pages of New York with arrangements between the crumbling palaces and estates of English lords and American fortunes.

These arrangements mirror the American tax-payers subsidizing the failed socialist-monarchy of England, and most of Europe since the beginning of the XX century. On September of 2025, we saw the most shameful use of this half-truth mask with the “first in history” personal invitation extended to President Donald Trump by King Charles III to visit him for a second time. Such an act was devised by socialist Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and performed by the King to disguise their need of assistance under especially favorable conditions again. The main topic then was tariffs and trade privileges. The King can’t extend such an offer for a state visit without the previous planning and direction of the Prime Minister backed by his socialist majority in Parliament. England got some of what it asked for, but not for long. A few weeks before, President Trump had convened all the heads of state of Europe to Turnberry, his golf club in Scotland. They all came to get their overdue bills for NATO. The topic is still on the table. The socialist Prime Minister was overshadowed in what the English claim to be their country, but the Scotts buck.

The Founding Fathers of America had great misgivings about  getting the new country involved in the recurring and costly family feuds of the European royals. The Monroe doctrine was adopted to keep them out of the western hemisphere. The American connections to the English monarchy are not as strong as is implied in the “special relationship”. Before there was New England, there were Acadia, New Holland, New Amsterdam, New Sweden and New France. Most English speaking colonists were escaping from the English royal boot and/or his oppressive church. This is particularly descriptive of Scottish, Irish and Welsh immigrants, and all English Catholics. The royal government sent to the colonies all their “undesirables”. The closest links were with the Royally chartered colonies that became “The South”, starting with Virginia. Have you noticed that all the southern royal colonies have the name of an English royal? American blood won independence from King George III. English troops burned the capitol and the White House in 1812. The British supported the Confederate States during the Civil War, a conflict fought to rid the new country from the inherited institution of slavery that had made England and its royals very rich. England attempted to block the development of the American merchant navy in ports around the world. The facts do not point to a “brotherly” relationship. It began with oppression, then enmity that became rivalry in world trade and economic power. It ended in the decadence of Old England.

In his address today to the US Congress, King Charles highlighted the 800 year heritage of Englishness that became part of America. His version of the Magna Carta omitted the fact that those rights were gained as a concession for a truce in a civil war against the abuses of King John. He did not mention that the empowerment of the equivalent of the House of Representatives was gained after the beheading of King Charles I. In a passing reference to the Bill of Rights of the US Constitution, he linked it to the contract between an anti-Catholic parliament that staged a coup d’état against the English king, and his Dutch relative and son-in-law who was offered the throne. Unfortunately, the name is similar. He even went as far as claiming to be a champion of interfaith unity as head of the Anglican Church, when in fact, the constitutional structure is still intolerant. There had to be some “changes” in order to allow him to marry Camila, divorced from a Catholic and barred from becoming Queen. He conveniently forgot to mention the most important historic period that led to the creation of the United States.

Historians refer to the long colonial experience up to the 1765 imposition of new taxes and restrictions that led to the War of Independence as the period of “benign royal neglect”, meaning little government interference. Self reliance led to self-government as a community. Even the chartered royal colonies of the south had developed without any feudal heavy handed system. They actually were more commercial ventures of the King’s cronies and not government projects at the beginning with a specific colonial policy.

Throughout the colonies, refugees and squatters became settlers going into the wilderness and learned to survive independently. Indentured servants quickly became property owners or pioneers in the frontier. The large land grant estates intended for tenant farmers became real estate development projects. Mineral rights owned by the king were not retained by the new governments but transferred to the new land owners. The rules for self-rule created a rich experiment, still visible in the diverse state constitutions that evolved from the compacts and charters adopted during colonial times.

It was during this period that the authentic American identity was forged, not because of the Englishness represented by the monarchy and its aristocratic flatulence, but because in the new world, they were rid of those oppressive structures that are still choking the British Isles. It was in America that the institutions that had taken form through centuries, from conflict to war and persecution of the non-English majority minorities, finally found freedom in many expressions, the possibility of owning real property, and unlimited opportunities for prosperity each person defined as his American Dream. The burden of Englishness was lifted. The American political experiment is truly a NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM.

As proof that the American character is independent of the English heritage is what happened since 1791, when the new nation was finally organized in its initial form. America became a great nation, while the British Empire began its decline. We forget that the two errors in economic theory that plague the world were developed in the heart of English intelligentsia in the middle of the Industrial Revolution. The first one is “scientific socialism”, better known by its real-world name of communism or Marxism. We associate Marxism with Germany, when in fact, the Communist Manifesto was written for the English communist league of industrial workers. Engels provided all the ugly information about the exploitation of the workers because he was involved in it. He lived in England and his family operated cotton mills in England and Germany. Marx spent the rest of his dark life hiding in the reading rooms of the British Library. Marxism never amounted to an economic theory, but it became the religion of anti-capitalism. Capitalism became associated with the American success.

The young American free enterprise system was not the decaying European capitalism in 1848, but Neither Marx nor Engels saw the differences. Between 1776 and 1791, a new model of political organization in America stumbled upon the matching principles of a free market economy based on the rights of all individuals to exercise their personal choices respecting the laws applicable to all, whether it was by selecting a candidate for public office, or by selecting a type of tea or rum. The American mega-market began by erasing the economic effects of the barriers to free trade implied by the colonial (state) borders. It protected the rights of inventors and innovators to profit by benefiting others. Multiple UK expatriate entrepreneurs succeeded in America, not in the old country. America expanded and protected the ownership of property to the common European immigrant, a right denied to most of them in the old continent. As a result, America became a world power at the same time as the old countries continued to decline. Contrary to the Marxist model, an unpredicted American middle class emerged elevating the standard of living of vast numbers. Since then, American ingenuity and innovation have improved the living conditions of the world, including those in the British Isles and the rest of Europe.

The second economic plague resulted from the conclusion that Marxism does not work because it can’t. Instead of accepting it as an error, its perpetuation was disguised by English scholars as “the middle way”. Promoted by Lord John Maynard Keynes in the United States during the incorrectly diagnosed “death of capitalism” of the 1920s-1930s, Keynesianism caused the Great Depression. It also caused the adoption of all the socialist schemes of public spending as a way to “stimulate the economy”. The Special Relationship resulted in the United States adopting Keynes errors into the laws that regulate the operations of the Federal Reserve and the excessive deficit spending that has exploded since.

America needs to free itself from the English socialist ideas, whether disguised as Marxism or as the New Economics of Keynes.

 In more recent times, even the English Conservative party was in the anti-Trump cabal of European politicians, and its spies were involved in the famous “dozier” ordered by Hillary Clinton. They also voted with other important “allies” of the USA to recognize the non existent state of Palestine, in opposition to the current American policy. They fooled Biden into a “whatever it takes, however long it lasts” financial support for free to the non-NATO war in Ukraine while the Europeans gave them “loans”. They voted to condemn Israel at the United Nations but were guarded about Hamas’ atrocities. Britain refused the use of airports at US military bases located in their territories or jointly operated military facilities near Iran for staging the operation Epic Fury. In the past few weeks, the EU, led by British and French politicians refused NATO’s participation to open and guard the free passage through the choke-point of the straight of Hormuz. The British refused to send the mine-sweepers it has to help the US Navy provide a clear passage through the straight. Actions speak better that speeches and toasts.

Promoting, and even institutionalizing the so called “special relationship” between the socialist monarchy of England and America is contrary to the interests of the people of the United States of America. It was an error from the beginning and needs to end.

Many will object to my reference to England instead of the United Kingdom. I would like to remind them that Scotland, Wales and Ireland were independent and great once. It was one Scottish intellectual that forecasted in 1776 the future greatness of America when he sided  with the colonials. On that year, he published a book that changed the world. His thoughts and policy proposals are inherent to the US Constitution as he defined the economic activities of the people as “simple extensions of their natural liberty”. With great humility, he titled his book “An Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations”. It is no coincidence that the new country got rid of its Englishness on the same year.
