Alex Jones makes a big deal about the Queen being Canadas Head of State, not seeming to realise that in Parliamentary systems of government the Head of State and Head of Government are separate. It is the Prime Minister, not the Queen, who holds all executive power.
Jones also appears to be under the impression that Stephen Harpers Conservative party lost the October 2008 Canadian federal election. In fact the Conservatives won the election, increased its vote share and number of seats in the House of Commons. Jones states Harpers party is the minority party when in fact it was the biggest party in parliament, it just didnt have an overall majority.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_federal_election_2008

Jones frequently refers to a Reuters article as evidence that the Queen has suspended Parliament. However the article in question does not say that, the headline he quotes and shows to camera clearly says Canadian PM wins suspension of Parliament.
http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSTRE4B34BC20081204

Jones then introduces Webster Tarpley who is described as an expert on the British system of government and the Commonwealth of Nations. However Tarpley doesnt seem to know how many countries are in the Commonwealth (he says there are over 70 countries when there are only 53, he says Queen Elizabeth II is the Head of States of all of them, when its only 16). Most startling for someone described as an expert, Tarpley thinks Governor General Michaëlle Jean is a man, when she a woman.

Although the article he talks about states Parliament was prorogated at the request of the Prime Minister, Tarpley says that Governor General has the most power, because [s]he is the one who suspended Parliament. It may be the Governor General who actually did the act but she wouldnt have been able to do so without the Prime Ministers explicit instructions.

Tarpley states two examples to try and show that the Queen and Governor General have the real power. First he says the Queen appointed new senators to vote the way she wanted in the North American Free Trade Agreement debate – yet again, Tarpley gets it wrong. Appointments to the Canadian Senate are only ever made by the monarch on prime ministerial advice. Also, it wasnt the NAFTA debate where new senators were appointed it was the Goods and Services Tax debate and it was Prime Minister Brian Mulroney who wanted the new appointments not the Queen.

The other example stated by Tarpley is The Dismissal, which was a constitutional crisis in 1975 Australia where the Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam, was removed by Governor-General Sir John Kerr. Tarpley suggests that this was all the work of the Queen, he gives no evidence of this, in reality the Queen kept out of the situation and the Governor-General who was surrounded in controversy.
Tarpley dramatically over simplifies what happened. Without wanting to do that same, one of the key things to note is that Tarpley does not mention that the Whitlam Government was accused of attempting to illegally borrow money from Middle Eastern countries, bypassing standard procedure as dictated by the Australian Treasury. It had nothing to do with London and New York as Tarpley suggests. Also the government was dismissed by the Governor-General who did not consult the Queen. In fact the Queen released a statement at the time saying the only person competent to commission an Australian Prime Minister is the Governor-General, and The Queen has no part in the decisions which the Governor-General must take in accordance with the Constitution.

Alex Jones continues to make several historical errors, not just about the British Monarchy but also basic history of the United States. Jones states that the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was on the British thrown during the time of the American War of Independence. This is wrong; it was the House of Hanover at the time. The House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha only came to the British thrown after Queen Victoria married Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and their son became King in 1901, 125 years after the United States declared independence.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_monarchs#House_of_Hanover

Jones also says that the Thirteen Colonies rebelled against Britain because King George III tried to removed the colonists weapons. In reality the war stated because the colonists rejected the right of the Parliament of Great Britain to govern them without representation.

I literally laughed out loud when Jones said how important it was to know history, I only hope he and Webster Tarpley take that advice soon.

Welcome to Collective Genius
There are not enough experienced Business Analysts for the number of projects that need them. Our Mission at Collective Genius is to address the shortage of skilled Business Analysts by working with the organizations that are most passionate about business analysis, by developing business analysis centers of excellence, and providing ongoing knowledge sharing and business analysis talent.
Collective Genius is a Business and Information Technology Consulting Organization focused solely in the area Business Analysis, Business Systems Analysis, and Business Process Analysis. Being very niche and passionate we have created an organization that attracts top talent for our clients and provides ongoing advocacy and education for our local Business Analysis Communities.
We develop and maintain business analysis centers of excellence for organizations and we support organizations’ needs with the right business analysis talent including direct placement, contract to hire, and consultants.
Our success in attracting great talent is largely due to the fact Business Analysts appreciate that we focus solely in their profession and know them best. This is very different than the magnitude of generalist consulting/staffing organizations that try to do everything for everyone. Being niche, we have had the opportunity to become experts in the field and designed our organization, processes, and tools specifically for the Business Analyst.
As an advocate to the role of the Business Analyst, in 2006 Collective Genius developed the first online Community of Business Analysts called the BA Collective. The BA Collective is a gathering place for like-minded professionals dedicated to the practice of business analysis. This is a place for industry professionals to learn about developing trends and share their own thoughts and experiences with the community.
The reason we developed The BA Collective is to unite a community of Business Analysts and provide a place where we can all share experiences and continually evolve our knowledge within our roles throughout our careers.
Our mission in parallel with Collective Genius and the BA Collective is to bridge the gap between the need for professional and experienced Business Analysts and the projects that need them. We hope with your support of Collective Genius and the BA Collective, together we will continue to accomplish this mission.
