WHO CONTROLS AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY?<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="font-size:medium;">Colin Powell claims Scottish coat of arms</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> <br><br>Tania Branigan<br>Wednesday May 12, 2004<br><br>The Guardian<br><br>He is known as a dove among the hawks of the Bush administration. But Colin Powell has chosen an eagle and a lion in his application for a coat of arms to mark his <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Scottish ancestry.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> <br><br>The US secretary of state has petitioned the <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>heraldic authority of Scotland</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> for the right to bearings, joining a growing and disparate band of Americans keen to lay claim to their roots in the old world. <br><br>A researcher recently claimed that Elvis Presley's family originated in Lonmay, a hamlet in Aberdeenshire, while Johnny Cash insisted he descended from the family of a 12th century Scottish monarch. <br><br>Heraldic bearings cannot be granted to non-citizens, but <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Mr Powell has applied on behalf of his late father Luther, who was born in Jamaica and therefore a subject of the crown. The secretary of state would inherit the right to use the bearings.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> <br><br>He wanted a Scottish coat of arms as his mother Maud McKoy's family was originally from Scotland. <br><br>Elizabeth Roads, Lyon clerk at the court of the Lord Lyon in Edinburgh, said applicants had to be "virtuous and well deserving persons" who <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>fell within the court's jurisdiction</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->. <br><br>"His father was a <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>subject of Jamaica</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> and of course he is an honorary KCB, so a worthy individual," she added. <br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Mr Powell received his honorary knighthood in 1993, his last year as chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->. <br><br>As a four-star general, it was perhaps inevitable that Mr Powell's coat of arms would include the trappings of a war rior. But Ms Roads ruled out the prospect of humvees and grenades. "We try to use symbols rather than specific things," she said. <br><br>Accordingly, the shield will feature four stars and two swords as well as a lion, commonly used for arms holders with the surname Powell. The crest will be an eagle, in reference to America and the badge of the 101st Airborne Division, in which he served and which he later commanded. The motto - in English, rather than Latin - will read: "Devoted to public service." <br><br>Guardian Unlimited © Guardian Newspapers Limited 2004<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>In case anybody doesn't "get it".<br>When you accept a knighthood you swear allegiance to Queen Elizabeth.

anti - thanks for posting. It's one of those rare events that speaks far more eloquently than any words can convey.<br><br>That the Queen would award a knighthood on such an unrepentant, recidivist, murderous, neo-fascist scumbag reveals far more about both of them and the intertwined nature of their oligarchies and conspiracies than any words can convey.<br><br>BTW, I have gained an amazing understanding of British law through your posts that I never appreciated before. Like you, I often go up against exceptionally powerful political/moneyed interests. My work has been used to stop, delay and/or dispute some of the most powerful politicians, developers and multi-national corporations in the U.S. and the world.<br><br>I know full well how crushingly difficult it is to fight such interests, and how the system is geared to deliver the goods to those it is designed to serve - plain language, statutory law, and common sense be damned. It's amazing to me that I've actually won a few rounds in my career. <p></p><i></i>
