King Bir Bikram Shah Deva of Nepal as of May 29, 2008 is no longer the defacto king, but was illegally overthrown according to the law of nations. (See "Sovereignty & The Future of Nobility and Royalty") The recently elected one house assembly is dominated by communist elected officials, who say they want to use democracy to destroy the throne and then democracy itself.

Jørn K. Baltzersen wrote that "the parliament’s grab for power and declaring itself supreme are symptoms of mob-ruled democracy. . . . In a post-monarchy Nepal, the Maoists would have little incentive not to decimate the SPA and seek total control of the state." (Jørn K. Baltzersen at www.lewrockwell.com

/baltzersen/baltzersen24.html)The liberty and freedoms of a great people are at stake. It is a very sad state of affairs. Make no mistake about it, the Maoists do not want truth or freedom, they only want democracy so they can take over the country, deprive people of their human rights and liberties and set up a repressive communist government. As of August 16, 2008, the parliament elected a major warlord as Prime Minister---the very man who promoted insurrection and treason, which ended up killing 13,000 people and ruined the countries agriculturally based economy. History generally shows that to throw out a monarch usually means years of devastation and problems. (See "Ideals" and "Advantages") To keep up on the crisis, see www.etoile.co.uk/News/Nepal

December 2007: The Indonesian government has officially recognized the immense and important contribution of former small monarchs in their history and are going to register the present heads of the ruling families as representing the former kings and sovereign princes who ruled their land. Apparently about 100 of about 300 have been screened so far as valid claimants. However, some have too many claimants as royal heads of their particular branch and therefore may not be included among the honored. But this recognition is a great milestone for these ancient royal and noble families.

There is a danger that the former king of Nepal will fail to preserve his "de jure" rights to sovereignty, because he has accepted the majority vote against him without protest. This kind of action can be considered an abandonment of all rights under international law. That is, unless this action was done under duress or under a realistic threat to his life or privilege of living in his own country, it could mean an end to all royal prerogatives. If the threat is not considered valid, he has lost the case and lost not only his "defacto" crown, but all the sovereignty and/or royal prerogatives and rights that go with it. If his son or next in line (the king's grandson) does not continue to use his titles and the family's sovereign arms and give out knighthoods or do something that make it undeniable and irrefutable that he is keeping his "de jure" privileges alive as the rightful ruler of his country, this sacred and precious right will be lost forever or permanently. We do not want to see this happen so we will use the contacts we have to make sure the international law or the law of nations can justify continuance.

June 16, 2008: The UN Council on Human Rights instead of focusing on ". . . issues of starvation, execution and the denial of the vote to huge numbers of people around the world," have stated that they think Great Britain should have a referendum on their monarchy and should consider having a republic. (www.pr-inside.com/un-s-monarchy-abolishment

-advice-r644990.htm) However, this Council is clearly way out in left field as they also voted to end their examinations of Iran and Uzbekistan who are probably the worst human rights violators in the world. What their hidden agenda is would be enlightenint, because this latest outrage on England is nonsense. It does not reflect the fact that England for past three hundred years has had greater freedom and greater rights, prosperity and benefits under their amazing system of checks and balances than practically all, if not most, of the members of this UN committee, which include the notorious Saudi Arabia and Cuba. It

makes one wonder what the UN is really all about. (See the articles: "Briefly, the Benefits of Constitutional Monarchy, "Ideals," and "Advantages.")

Bhutan has made the move and changed from a monarchy to a constitutional monarchy with two houses or chambers during the first half of this year. The successful transition has been mainly through the astute understanding and patience of their present king, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, although the process began with his father, King Jigme Singye Wangcuck. This makes Bhutan the world's newest Democracy and Kingdom.

On August 2, 2008, King Tupou V of Tonga finally received his coronation. He was anointed and

a crown was placed upon his head like that which would be expected in Europe. Critics of

the government described it as beautiful. Last year their were riots, but this King in his short two year reign has done more to create a constitutional monarchy and democracy in that land than any other king. He is becoming quite popular because of his diligent work to reform and improve things. "Among the guests were Crown Prince Naruhito of Japan, Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn of Thailand and the prime minister of New Zealand, Helen Clark, as well as nobility and royalty from most of the nations in the South Pacific. Britain was represented by the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester." (Barbara McMahon, "Crimson robes and gilt throne usher in Tonga's democracy," The Guardian. London: August 2, 2008. p. 28)
