Queen - Colonial Mourning

 Pakistan’s announcement of a day of mourning for Queen Elizabeth is astonishing and validates the enslaved colonial mindset and inferiority complex which is deep rooted in the ruling establishment of Pakistan. History is testament to how Britain left her shores to wreak havoc, destruction, enslavement, robbery and bloodshed throughout the world. The monarchy was pivotal as the head of this anarchy and bloodshed. Even in 1952 when Elizabeth became queen, Britain tried hard to prevent her colonies from independence and like other Europeans deceptively removed the military element, planted exported rulers and deceived the populations that ‘post colonialism’ was in process and independence had occurred when in fact they retained their control through the imported elite, trade relations and in the case of France even direct military intervention. The monarchies acquiescence and leadership over this process is criminal and clear. The Commonwealth is an outcome of Britain’s attempt to maintain her colonies and protect them from primarily the Americans who uprooted her from the Middle East, Asia and now Africa. The brutal history of the Europeans and of the monarchy in Britain is well documented. So whilst the Irish expressed their feelings of joy making no distinction between the monarchy and the state and remembering Britain’s history, The colonised political and military establishment in Pakistan has asked its population to mourn its former colonial master.
