Fueled by fuzzed-out riffs and rhythmic claws, this is pure glam-drenched muscle about power and predation. “King of Claws” rides a high-octane groove where the monarchy is mean, lean, and ready to pounce. Claws out, teeth bared, crown cracked. Watch-out!

England, 1598. Queen Elizabeth’s successor remains unnamed. The country teeters on a knife edge.
When a young heiress is found murdered at the theatre, the Queen’s spymaster Robert Cecil calls upon former agent Sophia de Wolfe to investigate.

A cryptic note found on the dead girl’s body connects to Sophia’s previous life as a spy, and her quest soon takes her into dangerous waters. Powerful enemies emerge, among them the Earl of Essex: the Queen’s favourite courtier and a man of ruthless ambition.

This is a murder that reaches directly into the heart of the court. And Sophia is concealing a deep-buried secret of her own. She must uncover the truth before her past threatens to destroy her.

S. J. Parris's book Alchemy was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 2023-07-24.

Hans-Hermann Hoppe not only shows how democratic elections often lead to bad results, but illustrates how political democracy often leads to the deterioration of wealth and liberty.

id - whats the meaning p jusa

It's common to hear about agent rulers, client nations and vassal states. It's common to hear about leaders who are not independent or who are dictated to by Washington, London or Paris. Why would anyone want to be an agent? It seems like the life of a slave? How do we make sense of agency? Where does this all fit into geopolitics

The Agent-Ruler Paradox

由威壓展開，漸趨暴烈，但暴力不在速度而在結構，像一場「國王最後的巡邏」，每一步都是用混音壓縮的槍口踩出來的

Limited King

the winds upon the ocean carried him away
from the shore she watched until the sails disappeared
his ring upon her finger, tears streaming down her face
as they tore her wretched heart so far away from here

his crime made convict and broken man within one day
only for the sake of his child did he steal
a half loaf of bread for a pitiful meal

for his love his wife and his child
he wore the crown of thorns
the twisted tortures and torments of the tudor rose

now imprisoned by tyranny and distance
rendition to the colony as his sentence 
slavery dressed as hard labour
in the prison colony of Australia 

the sting of the thorns on the tudor rose
when the crown stole the land of their family’s farm
to bring them by force to the land of all those
who tore down all their hopes and only promised more harm

his time made a bitter downtrodden man into a slave
only for the sake of his kin he carried on
surpassed both the dread and the litany of wrongs

for his love his wife and his child
he wore the crown of thorns
the twisted tortures and torments of the tudor rose

now imprisoned by tyranny and distance
rendition to the colony as his sentence 
slavery dressed as hard labour
in the prison colony of Australia 

he dreams of his wife
and beloved child
remembers the life
they lived in the time
before came the strife
and the bitter sting of the thorns on the tudor rose

for his love his wife and his child
he wore the crown of thorns
the twisted tortures and torments of the tudor rose

now imprisoned by tyranny and distance
rendition to the colony as his sentence 
slavery dressed as hard labour
in the prison colony of Australia 

he wears the crown of thorns
the twisted tortures and torments of the tudor rose

tudor rose (2025 remaster)

"Crownbreaker" by DEVILDEV is a razor-edged rap/trap anthem built for overthrow. Heavy 808s, sharp kicks, and a deep, steady vocal flow collide with cinematic brass and strings for a track that drips monarchy-core rebellion. Cynical, sassy, and unapologetic, it’s the sound of tearing crowns from pretenders and taking the throne without mercy.

Crownbreaker

On May 8th, 2025, at the Vatican, the Conclave elected Robert Francis Cardinal Prevost as the 267th Bishop of Rome. Known as Pope Leo XIV, he succeeds Pope Francis, and inherits a long, violent and unresolved legacy of the Vatican’s role in committing intergenerational settler colonial violence and genocides against Indigenous peoples, clans, communities, and nations throughout the world. The Vatican’s complicity can be traced back to the 15th century issuance of three papal bulls, the first two decreed by Pope Nicholas V in 1452 and Romanus Pontifex (1455); and third by Pope Alexander VI's Inter caetera in 1493.

Known as the Doctrine of Dominion or Discovery, the Papal bulls authorized colonial powers such as Spain, Portugal, and other European monarchies and countries to seize lands and subjugate people in Africa and the western hemisphere so long as Indigenous peoples were not Christians. In the United States, the Doctrine of Dominion/discovery, indeed, is the foundation of America’s property law and federal Indian law that violently ensures Native Americans dispossession of their traditional and treaty homelands – a situation established by the Vatican in the 15th century. 

Over the centuries, the Vatican and its missionaries have been responsible for the theft of thousands and thousands of Indigenous peoples sacred or ceremonial items and other forms of cultural patrimony, which have either been on display at the Vatican Museum, or remain hostage at the Vatican and possibly other religious institutions. To date, the Vatican has not repatriated Indigenous ceremonial items back to Indigenous peoples and nations in violating the UNDRIP and denying Indigenous peoples fundamental rights. 

So, what does Pope Leo XIV mean for Indigenous peoples throughout the world? Pope Leo inherits Pope Francis’s legacy which includes: in 2022, the Vatican issuing an apology for the “catastrophic” legacy of residential schools in Canada; in 2023, the Vatican repudiated the “Doctrine of Discovery” without calling for settler colonial countries to do the same, and in 2023, Pope Francis, despite the formal protest of 50 California Indian nations, was responsible for the canonization of the Spanish missionary Junipero Serra who masterminded the 18th-century Alta Spanish mission system that functioned as violent theological network attempting to vanquish Indigenous peoples along the coast of California and parts of the western hemisphere.
