This is what is occurring in Edinburgh, Scotland.

People wait (click here) to enter St. Giles' Cathedral to pay their respect to Queen Elizabeth II on Monday, September 12. 

The people absolutely adored and loved Queen Elizabeth II. When the people turned out during the Queen's jubilee, it was a complete contradiction of the often negative media.

 

Ukraine

Soldiers of the Ukraine military have reached the border between Ukraine and Russia at Kharkiv. 

I am very happy for the freedom and peace loving people in that region. Evidently, the people, while speaking Russian, did not want the governance of communists. Unfortunately, a Putin missile destroyed the power plant and the people now have danger in their lives due to the lack of electricity. This danger includes the health care facilities.

The people of the Kharkiv area are good people. They are the same flesh and blood that existed there under communist oppression. All of a sudden they deserve cruelty in their lives because they are now free. Those Ukrainians hold no desire to invade Russia, yet, they are considered to be irreverent children to Mother Russia and need to be punished.

That mind set with the Russian military leadership must stop. Those are political opinions sending those missiles. Those politics belonging to Russia must stop and allow people of Ukraine peace.

In the UK…

 …there is a peaceful transfer of power after a reigning monarch passed away at the age of 96 with a broken heart missing her dearly beloved husband.

The topic of the royals are chronically in the news and if media is not gawking at the latest frock of Kate Middleton there are complaints about the monarchy and it’s persistent place in society and government. The complaining is nonsense and the UK has a talented as well as beautiful member of the royal family in Kate Middleton.

I am witnessing through people I know and people they know absolute grief for the Late Queen Elizabeth II. Chronically puffy eyes from being assaulted by reality, advise to get back in touch with the here and now through nature walks and reports of young people and young children crying themselves to sleep. I am certain the Princes William and Harry are feeling the brevity of the loss of their mother at this difficult time.

The propaganda regarding the royal family of the United Kingdom is nothing less than flamboyant attempts at making money. The people, the citizens of the United Kingdom love the royal family because they are as much family to them as those that are immediate relatives.

I wish all the citizens of the United Kingdom and The Commonwealth sincerest sympathy for a difficult time for their countries and nations of people. I believe King Charles III and the Queen Consort Camilla are traveling to Edinburg, Scotland for official duties but also to honor the Late Queen Elizabeth II as she begins her final journey as she is laid to rest.

I wish the entire family of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth peace.
