Prepare For Another Pompous State Funeral

The State, in this case Britain, is preparing for a a funeral for past prime minister Margaret Thatcher who just recently died. Statements by the press say that this will be the biggest funeral since Churchill. Do not doubt that much undue praise will be forthcoming from many American sources as well, especially the political class of heathens.

This is of course a waste of time and money. It is meant by the state to glorify those dead at the highest levels who held positions of power over others. It is to fool the masses into worshiping this charade in what can only be considered undue and worthless nationalism.

It is a ritual meant to present these horrible cretins as godlike saints, while lauding and exalting them, and putting on a show that would be akin to forced worship of a ruling king. It is a pathetic display of arrogance, and is a show for fools.

According to the Associated Press:

“For the day of the funeral, streets will be cleared of traffic and Thatcher’s coffin will travel by hearse to the Church of St Clement Danes, the chapel of the Royal Air Force.

The coffin then will be transferred to a gun carriage drawn by the King’s Troop Royal Artillery and borne in procession to St Paul’s Cathedral along a route lined by personnel from all branches of the armed forces.

A guard of honor will greet the coffin upon arrival at the cathedral, with military personnel lining the church steps.

While the funeral service will not be open to the public, Downing Street said it would be televised and that mourners can line the route of the funeral procession.

The government said that flags at Downing Street – which flew at half-staff on Monday – will do so again on Tuesday and on the day of the funeral.”

How appalling!

While I would not wish harm or misery on anyone, this time should be spent reflecting on Thatcher’s role as a criminal “leader” who was involved in war, state murder, and mayhem. She was a staunch ally and partner of the United States in its imperialistic march toward world hegemony. The truth should be told so that avoidance and loathing for those in the ruling class becomes the norm.

Self serving politicians deserve no praise, only contempt!
