After the Kyle Rittenhouse acquittal, looting took place in San Francisco as several stores, including Louis Vuitton, was looted in the downtown area Friday night. Saturday night, 80 armed and masked thieves emptied the Nordstrom store in Walnut Creek in less than a minute as “mass looting” spread to the San Francisco suburbs.

Protests in Portland officially were declared a riot. Meanwhile, BLM lowlifes in Brooklyn marched through the streets chanting, “Every City, Every Town, Burn the Precinct to the Ground.”

Likewise, Chicago hoodlums looted stores on Friday night, followed by Jesse Jackson and his mob parading down Chicago streets on Saturday. Protesters carried a large sign that read, “Rittenhouse—Guilty! Guilty! Guilty! No Facist USA. Organize Now For Real Revolution.”  Others chanted, “The only solution is communist revolution! The only solution is communist revolution! The only solution is communist revolution!”

The dummies couldn’t even spell Fascist correctly.

The bought-and-paid-for revolutionaries did not get their pound of flesh—Kyle Rittenhouse’s flesh—but any white flesh will do. Their pretended outrage is positively outrageous.

Rittenhouse was found not guilty on all counts, and while the judicial system has spoken, the street people did not like what they heard. Note how asinine, arrogant, and angry these human termites are. They think they are above the law because they respect nothing except their racist ranting. They think the rabble-rousing harangues of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Benjamin Crump are equivalent to the Ten Commandments or at least the Declaration of Independence.

Of course, leftist politicians crawled from under their rocks and out of their caves to reinforce their membership in the radical left.

After the verdict, Crump called Rittenhouse “a racist, homicidal vigilante.”  The deaf, dumb, and blind know he, like Jackson and Sharpton, seems to always assume any black person is totally innocent and all Whites are racists. Any white person is guilty; after all, he is white. Crump has defended such stalwart citizens as the late Trayvon Martin and George Floyd—although the record proves they were thugs.

The race-baiters can be counted on to always excuse Blacks and accuse Whites in any altercation. If there is an issue between two Blacks, somehow, Whites will be blamed. After all, Whites are responsible for all black problems—black poverty, black illegitimacy, black crime, black prison population, black miseducation, etc.

Honest people admit the foul breath of prejudice is obnoxious even when coming from a black person.

BLM and others think they are above the law and are encouraged by those cowards who refuse to practice true equality, meaning equality of opportunity— not in results. The vicious black leaders are prize-winning hypocrites who think their racial status gives them the right to reject lawful proceedings, block streets, takeover neighborhoods, burn private property, and take anything of value that is not nailed to the floor.

They have no respect for or commitment to equality under the law, fairness to everyone, but every citizen has a right to disagree with anyone about anything. Their spiritual father, Vladimir Lenin, said, “While the State exists, there can be no freedom; when there is freedom, there will be no State.”

No state, no church, no family, no private property—anarchy.

This was planned long ago by their philosophical ancestors.

Like France in the eighteenth century, we are in revolution, our Second Revolution, and you don’t have to be an Old Testament prophet to see it coming.

Like France, the stage was set—the intellectuals sowed seeds of envy, greed, anger, resentment, and hate; national rulers abdicated personal responsibility; local officials denied, dallied, and delayed and looked the other way; law and order were mocked by all; the termites began eating away at our vitals; and confusion, chaos, and carnage taking control as the foundations of society begin to crumble.

It had happened before.

No one was safe. No one could be trusted. Peasants, the clergy, and the aristocrats all shivered in fear inside their homes. When one spoke to others, he was always guarded in his statements. No one joked about the bloody guillotine in the center of Paris. The fast, foul, and fearful instrument of death was permanently stained with fresh blood, often from high ranking, high living, and sometimes high-deserving members of the nobility. However, at least two-thirds of those victims had been peasants and artisans. No one was safe.

King Louis XVI had been convicted of high treason by the National Convention on January 17, 1793, with an almost unanimous vote, although a few deputies abstained. It was not their finest hour. Not one member dared to vote not guilty. Louis and his Queen, Marie Antoinette, were many things, including big spenders of other peoples’ money, but not traitors, which didn’t matter to the revolutionaries. Facts did not rule the day, but fear did. Each deputy was concerned about his own head since many of his friends had already lost theirs.

The king was declared guilty and marched to the guillotine, although he had been promised protection. When Louis’ head rolled off the scaffold, every monarch in Europe felt a chill run up their spine. Louis’ guards were slaughtered. The queen was later beheaded. Their children were imprisoned. At least 40,000 innocent persons in Paris were beheaded while almost 300,000 were shot, drowned, etc. ln Thomas Carlyle’s 1830 The French Revolution: A History, he declared at least two children were executed by the guillotine.

Fear stalked the streets day and night as expressed by eschewing the wearing of fashionable silk knee-breeches (known as culottes) of the upper class since that was the “uniform” of the aristocracy during the seventeenth century. And they were losing their heads. To be safe and send a message, most people wore work clothes known as sans-culottes. By doing that, they were telling the world that they were just simple citizens with no ties to the nobles and the Roman Catholic Church.

Historian Eric Hobsbawm declared that the sans-culottes were a “shapeless, mostly urban movement of the labouring poor, small craftsmen, shopkeepers, artisans, tiny entrepreneurs and the like.” Minor landholders were also part of the group.

The government had been destroyed with the King and Queen, and many government officials beheaded; church property had been sold and priests, bishops, and archbishops removed; and the father-led homes were devastated with parents reporting children and children reporting parents for antigovernmental statements or actions. It was “safe” to be critical of the government, and toppling monuments and statues were proof of one’s “wokeness.” Everyone was talking about “liberty, equality, and fraternity.”  Later, it was “Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity, or Death.” The idea was, “you love us like brothers, or we will kill you.”

One does not have to be brilliant to know that liberty and equality are never compatible; in fact, they are impossible to reconcile. Aristotle argued that it is an injustice to treat that which is unequal as an equal. It is unfair to both.

The street rebels in Paris and Kenosha were made that way by their radical parents, professors, and preachers who taught them a utopian view of the world, turning them into perpetual children degrading them into animals.

Frenchmen spoke to strangers only when necessary and spoke in carefully guarded words and never in a superior way.

In A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens reveals how everyone in France was cautious about what was said and how it was said. He reveals that everyone was greeted with “citizen” in a personal and affectionate way lest their demeanor and inflection of voice gave another “citizen” cause to suspect a citizen of something. The ruling principle seemed that it was better to charge someone of anything (rather than being accused by anyone of anything), proving one’s strict allegiance to the revolution.

No one was to be degraded, disgraced, or depreciated. Everyone was equal; however, even a fool knows that is impossible. Everyone was careful not to rock the boat or make waves. Everyone was equal, but no matter the public façade, everyone knew his original birth status; he just did not talk about it. Or dress like it. Or act like it.

The philosopher/writers usually opined on almost everything, even publishing an encyclopedia on human knowledge, but they were strangely silent about, you know what, that bloody thing sitting in the center of Paris.  All the unpleasant, untrue, unlawful accusations made against people depended on their class. One was guilty if he belonged to a particular class—teacher, priest, physician, large landowner, etc.

That was true in Lenin’s day and today.

We are seeing that in our day of revolution. If you are a minority, you have special rights. You can make outrageous accusations, talk poor and live rich, make stupid statements, and not be held accountable by the media or the law. Because of special status.

While shopping, Dickens said one stopped at all shops and admired all merchandise and was careful not to raise the envy or anger of anyone. One must not be ostentatious or pretentious or give the impression of superiority. Now, everyone was simply citizen. Not royalty, not priest or bishop, not aristocrat, or landlord—just citizen.

BLM and Antifa lowlifes, aware of their inferiority and having no hope for a significant future rejected reality. They are rejecting the America-is-the-greatest principle and emulating the practice of the ostrich. However, unlike the radical racists, the ostrich is not stupid enough to put his head in the sand. After all, that’s an invitation to get your bottom kicked.

The street rabble are too dumb to understand that and police officers need to kick them where their brains are and drag them to jail.

Informed, honest people know this truth—most leading civil rights leaders, black and white, are hypocrites. They use “civil rights” (self-aggrandizement, money, power) while decent people want real civil rights—not based on deception, distortion, or brazen dishonesty.

I have a lengthy written and verbal record of fair and equal treatment for everyone. There should be no special treatment because a man is a pastor, lawyer, civil rights leader, judge, legislator, black, white, or media personality. I have publicly called out longtime friends (Baptist pastors and Christian educators) who were caught or admitted to adultery while preaching purity, faithfulness, and honor. I demanded the resignation of Conservative state and national legislators who stood for principle but practiced evil.

At this time, there  are accusations against one of the most influential and effective Conservative leaders in Congress. While a charge is not a conviction, I will demand he resign if he confesses or is found guilty of sexual misconduct.

I have done that in the past under the same circumstances. That is not surprising since all honest people do that even if it affects their own family, friends, finances, and future.

The Daily Mail reported Lucia Whalen Bremer, a white eighth-grader of Richmond, Virginia, was shot multiple times (reportedly 8 times) in broad daylight in the best part of town by a black 14-year-old boy on March 26, 2021. After an all-day manhunt, the teenager was arrested in connection with her death and was charged with second-degree murder. It seems that the crime was one of premeditation and that would require the death penalty but not in the Peoples’ Republic of Virginia.

Since the killer is a teen, his gun was illegal. I assume officials are looking into who owns the gun and how the killer acquired it. I’m not blaming the gun since it is totally innocent. As an aside, it should be said for the mentally deficient that the killer was totally responsible, not the innocent gun. No gun control law would have changed anything. This was not gun violence but human violence.

It is thought that the two teens did not know each other; however, that has not been determined. Officials seem to be convinced the killing was not a hate crime! Flip the races, and there would be no doubt about it being a hate crime.

But then, that too is a racist comment.

The murder was not followed by white protests, marches, or speeches. No white supremacists appeared, no buildings owned by Blacks or Whites were looted and burned. There was no violence, protests, or marches at a Sunday vigil for Lucia—only many flowers and lights.

Does this mean Whites have more self-control or are less violent than Blacks?

The White House did not call nor did Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson, but then the innocent victim was white. Vice-President what’s-her-name Harris did not call because she was too busy planning how to solve the southern border crises to get involved. However, unconfirmed reports show that both she and Biden have taken a position against shooting kids in the head. This writer waits for further confirmation.

Of course, leaders who are compassionate for only one race are hypocrites. But we knew that, didn’t we?

Astute observers have noticed the absence of marches, protests, and demands for justice when a white person is killed by a minority. White people do get angry and love their own but do expect justice to prevail for all. So far, however, they have not been manipulated to violence.

Why didn’t the many news reports I read mention that the suspect was black? What happened to balanced reporting of the facts?

If the script is followed, a relative (not his mom and dad but a relative or guardian) will be interviewed where it is revealed that the shooter was a church-going, kind, considerate lad with great expectations of college hoping to serve mankind as a scientist looking for a cancer cure. Oh, he has been on the honor roll and loves music and animals. There will be visuals of his guardian weeping, showing pictures of the killer in an angel costume at the school play or in his football uniform.

The media will force the narrative that he was stressed, living in such an oppressive nation and in a state that birthed many of the founding fathers and the beginning of a systemic racist society. And the boy simply snapped and shot the first white person he saw. It wasn’t his fault.

It was Whitey’s fault.

And we expected that.

The race-baiters will get into the act, for that’s what it is, as they demand greater emphasis on the critical race theory in the schools and reparations.

White and black politicians will blame the innocent, helpless, guiltless, inanimate gun followed by the demand for more and stricter gun laws even though the strictest law would have had no impact on the case.

Meanwhile, the innocent, sweet Lucia will still be dead. And you didn’t even know her name.

Emmanuel Deshawn Aranda is a 24-year-old black felon who threw white five-year-old Landen Hoffmann from the third floor of the Mall of America on April 12, 2020. Aranda admitted going to the mall to kill someone because previous attempts to connect with women there were unsuccessful. Aranda has a 2014 arrest for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was sentenced to 18 months probation. He had many arrests but spent little time in jail. There was an active warrant for his arrest stemming from a 2017 assault case with no explanation why he was not in the slammer.

He got 19 years in prison and will be eligible for parole in 12 years. If I were a gambler, I’d bet he will be out in six years. Maybe the child will have recuperated from his broken bones, fractured skull, and other trauma by then.

I read four news stories about the event, and not one mentioned the boy was white and the attacker was black. There was no mention of marches and protests by angry whites. It was not a hate crime! Wonder why.

It was probably the kid’s fault.

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson did not call or visit the family. It seems White Lives Don’t Matter.

On August 9, 2020, a five-year-old white boy riding his bike was approached by 25-year-old felon Darius N. Sessoms, who proceeded to shoot him in the face. The killer was black and executed in cold blood young 5-year-old Cannon Hinnant. His two sisters witnessed the murder. The killer lived next door, and neighbors knew of no trouble with the two families. The night before, the killer had dinner with Cannon’s family. Sessoms was caught quickly and also charged for a previous killing.

The mainstream media did not deal with the murder for many days. CNN waited three days to report on it, but other networks refused to deal with the crime. Finally, on August 14, the networks covered the story.

When ridiculed for not reporting the story, the leftists’ only defense was because it was just “another killing,” so only local media would cover it. What hogwash! They are trying to convince us that a black man shooting a white kid in the face is not national news!

Black Lives Matter opined that the boy deserved to be shot in the head for his white privilege! It was payback time, and the boy did the paying. One tweet read, “Blew his little white privileged brains clean out of his head! #BlackLivesMatter.”

Another black racist wrote, “[I don’t] give a s*** he is white it’s time for revenge we tired s*** over with now we shooting yall go cry to you moma.” The tweeter was later identified as a Taco Bell worker from North Carolina.

A Facebook group with 20,000 members who supported the alleged killer of 5-year-old Cannon was removed after claiming the alleged child murderer was a “political prisoner.”

It is shocking that black and white racists make such stupid statements, advance so many outrageous positions, disparage so many obvious truths, and yet are still considered decent people to be heard and cultivated by people who should know better. Self-appointed black leaders have opportunities daily to make fools of themselves, and they take advantage of each opportunity.

Blacks’ biggest enemy is not white cops but black hoodlums looking for an excuse to riot, and it takes little to give them an excuse.

Black spokesmen (representing themselves and their monetary interests) are a body of men not accountable to anybody and should not be trusted by anybody in any situation. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpie have skeletons of their own which are not in a closet but out for all to see.

Maybe Blacks respond to perceived mistreatment because they have been told how oppressed they are, so they deserve to overreact. That the riots, even deaths, are justified for the overall good that will accrue to them—finally. However, clear-thinking people know all should be judged by the same standard.

Principled people, black and white, will demand justice for everyone.

Like most people who first viewed the arrest and death of Floyd, I quickly responded in horror at the apparent mistreatment by the police. I wrote at the time, “Americans have been awakened, agitated, angered, and appalled at the killing of Floyd, and that includes me. I’m appalled that everyone has been so quick to make a judgment without knowing all the facts. Yes, it looks bad, very bad, but I want to know the whole story. No one has suggested that everyone involved could be wrong! Floyd, the four cops, even the bystanders who were too intimidated to physically confront the police.

“I’m appalled that innocent, legal protesting of whites and blacks became an excuse to burn, loot, and destroy over 300 stores, thereby destroying the jobs of innocent people. It is obvious that it is not a skin problem but a sin problem.”

Following Floyd’s death, radical lowlifes used protesting to excuse looting, hooliganism, rioting, burning, and killing while officials did nothing to facilitate their imprisonment for decades.

However, today a white man is being lynched in Minneapolis for doing his job as he was trained to do it. He is being lynched because he is white, and everyone seems to think whiteness equals evil, slavery, oppression, duplicity, anger, bigotry, etc. So, even if Chauvin didn’t actually kill Floyd, he deserves to die seems to be the consensus of the radical rabble.

He is being lynched because he was a police officer, and it is commonly believed that white cops go to work every day looking for a black man to shoot. It doesn’t seem to matter to officials and the public that it seems almost always the black “victim” is a felon, a drug addict, committing a crime, or resisting arrest.

Between 1997 and 2007, police in Texas arrested Floyd a total of nine times; he got five years in the slammer for home invasion and putting a gun in the abdomen of a pregnant woman in front of her child. He took money and jewelry to purchase drugs.

After Floyd’s death, police found 274 pills inside his car, along with 18 grams of cocaine and 3 grams of rock cocaine. Furthermore, Floyd admitted to snorting Oxycodone daily and had been addicted for 5 years.

When Floyd died, he had 3 times the fentanyl that would kill a healthy man, and the chief medical officer Andrew Baker announced, “The autopsy revealed no physical evidence suggesting that Mr. Floyd died of asphyxiation.”

Then why is there a trial if there was no crime? Floyd is dead because he resisted arrest after gulping illegal drugs. Chauvin lost his job, family (his beauty queen wife divorced him days after his arrest and changed her name), and reputation—all for working while white (WWW).

But what about “I can’t breathe”? It was not the knee on his neck that killed him but the illegal drugs. One of the primary symptoms of fentanyl overdoses—is “slowed or stopped breathing,” leading to unconsciousness and death. Floyd complained about not breathing before the officer kneed him, as the video clearly shows.

We are told that the defense is trying to blame the victim, but there are other victims. The store where Floyd attempted to pass a counterfeit $20 bill is a victim. The police who were trying to enforce the law and have now lost everything are victims. The families of the police officers are innocent victims. The many business owners who had their businesses looted and burned to the ground are victims. The innocent taxpayers of Minneapolis who have to pay for the arrest, trial, and possible incarceration are victims. The taxpayers, who will have to pay for the repair of destroyed streets, buildings, etc., are victims. The innocent citizens of the city are victims because they lost protection after the far left disrupted, destabilized, and defunded the police; therefore, victims could not get immediate help following 6,776 calls to 911 for rape, murder, and violent crimes.

The alleged victim is dead because he refused for 20 minutes to obey the police and because his body was full of illegal drugs. Floyd did not deserve any mistreatment, but he killed himself. And his family just received a payoff of $27 million from taxpayers of Minneapolis because police officers did what they had to do to keep law and order. Additionally, the family gets $15 million from a GoFundMe page that stupid and gullible people funded.

That’s not a bad payment for a serial felon who also had four televised funerals, a gold coffin, a procession with white horses pulling a white carriage, and his photo enhanced with a halo and angel wings. The usual high-profile suspects at the funeral included Al Green, Shelia Jackson Lee, Joe Biden (video), Al Sharpton, and other so-called civil rights leaders.

I’m appalled that civil rights leaders take advantage of every shooting, fair or unfair, of a black person. Such losers as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Louis Farrakhan have built financial empires on the backs of poor, gullible blacks. And the media and others sit down with such leaders and treat them as successful celebrities when I think they are only a notch under the mafia.

Of course, none of Floyd’s offenses deserved the death penalty. Nor does his death make him a hero. And for sure, not a saint.

I’m appalled at seeing police officials, even a couple of chiefs, FBI agents, U.S. military, and politicians abasing themselves in support of the protesters. They were not grieving but groveling to BLM hooligans. And it’s appalling to hear them reject and ridicule All Lives Matter in favor of Black Lives Matter.

Al Sharpton preached the Houston funeral wearing black rubber gloves, a white robe representing “purity and virtuousness” with three black chevrons on the sleeves representing doctorial accomplishment. Al might know how to spell virtue, but he doesn’t know the meaning from personal experience. He married in 1980, separated in 2004, and had a longtime relationship with a much younger woman whom he married about a year ago. And the three black stripes are the closest Al will ever get to an earned doctorate since he never finished college.

He calls himself a Baptist but for sure, not the kind of Baptists with whom I run.

After comparing George Floyd to Jesus at Floyd’s funeral, Reverend William Lawson said, “The next thing we need to do is clean out the White House.” Sounds like a political rally, not a funeral.

On a business wall along one street was a massive likeness of Floyd with large white wings and an impressive halo. Both inaccurate and blasphemous. Even if all the excessive accolades about Floyd were true, he did not qualify as an angel; besides, dead people, even godly people, don’t become angels.

Additionally, angels don’t have wings. Nor do the dead have halos.

Near the likeness of Floyd were the words “Big Floyd.” Interestingly, Floyd was a porn star known by that name, but it is sacrilegious to mention that truth. Another large photo of Floyd had him wearing a white hat with a scale of justice on the front and “I can’t breathe” on the side. Of course, there was a large halo over his head.

The raised Communist-Black Power clenched fist was common during the funerals.

It is nauseating how Floyd’s family, friends, and fools in the media have presented him to the public. He was not a good man, as his former “partner” and mother of his six-year-old daughter said. Roxie Washington was Floyd’s “former partner” who bore his six-year-old daughter, Gianna. At a press conference, when Gianna was asked how her dad’s death has affected her said, “I miss him.” The mother and former live-in girlfriend said, “He was good, and this (pointing to his daughter) is proof he was good.” No, an illegitimate child is not “good.” She is a sweet little girl who is totally innocent and too young to know she is being used by everyone.

Quincy Mason, Floyd’s 21-year-old son (I don’t understand that), last saw his father when he was five years old, yet the race-baiters like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and attorney Ben Crumb appear to be using Quincy as a prop. In a Minneapolis news conference, Ben clearly was telling Quincy what to say. Quincy had not seen his father since he was 5 years old and didn’t know Floyd or recognize his televised photo when he died.

News reports revealed that Floyd has a 22-year-old daughter “from a previous relationship.”

Courtney Ross (married mother of two) is the girlfriend of Floyd living in Minneapolis. She said they “had been together for three years before his death.” On CNN, she described him as an “angel on earth.”

None of the many news reports reveal anything about marriages, just many “relationships,” “partners,” “girlfriend,” etc., so Floyd was a serial fornicator, child producer, serial felon, and drug addict. It is considered unwise, unfair, even unchristian to speak ill of the dead, but it is distortion, dishonest, and devious to do a complete makeover of a very wicked person. This has been expertly crafted to fit the far-left agenda to produce money and motive for revolution.

Mayor of Minneapolis Frey said Floyd was killed because he is black. No, he was killed because he resisted arrest and had filled his body with illegal drugs.

We have been told the color of your skin determines how you are treated in America—one law for Whites, another for Blacks. Floyd was every black; Chauvin was every cop. The Minneapolis trial is putting America on trial. If he is found not guilty, there will be massive disruption, destruction, and deaths—all planned by BLM, Antifa, and other anti-American forces.

Revolution is coming.

Van Jones told CNN if Chauvin isn’t convicted, “it will be perceived as open season telling cops they can literally get away with murder in broad daylight.” He added, “The system is on trial here,” but a system is not on trial. The far left is making the trial, like everything else, a matter of race. If they don’t get their way, that is a reason for the lowlifes to loot, burn, destroy, and even kill.

Cicero warned “that we do not recklessly and presumptuously assume something to be true.” Most Americas, always giving the benefit of a doubt to the underdog, want to believe the Floyd narrative pitched by those in line to gain from his trial. But in doing so, we believe a lie. It seems the truth does not matter anymore.

The left could have chosen a better candidate than Floyd to be their cause célèbre but it is working—an innocent, although possibly aggressive police officer is being sacrificed to the gods of leftist extremism.

If perchance Chauvin is found not guilty, there will be massive riots since the left takes advantage of every crisis, and many innocent people will die—including jurors. If he is found guilty, many innocent people will die since the leftist mob will be empowered to further push the leftist agenda.

Roman Catholic priest Thomas Aquinas wrote, “He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.”

As the world watches, a police officer is about to be lynched (east of the Pecos) for trying to apprehend a resisting felon, and all decent people should be angry.

In the eighteenth century, some eloquent, highborn French wanted a national makeover that stemmed from their hatred of Christ and the Bible, Christian morality, property rights, orderly government, and strong father-led homes. There were some legitimate complaints against the government but none that justified anarchy and wholesale executions without a trial.

The promoters of the French resistance, rebellion, and revolution were willing to wait for the time to strike. It took decades, but it came.

It took decades in America, but it is here.

Waiting gives revolutionaries time to organize and gather their cadre of conspirators. The French were led to the guillotine by suave, sophisticated, and often sincere spokesmen such as Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and other brilliant, immoral, but arrogant conspirators who detested revelation and deified reason. With the passing years, the leaders who replaced Voltaire and Rousseau were more vicious and deadly. They spoke about liberty, equality, and fraternity while they mocked their essence.

Voltaire and Rousseau would have been horrified if they had lived to see the Reign of Terror—heads rolling hour after hour in the middle of Paris; thousands of innocent people killed, usually without trial; climaxing in the dictatorship of Napoleon Bonaparte. Voltaire was known for freedom, independence, and defense of the little guy as expressed in his alleged comment, “I do not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” He would not have approved of the revolution that became a repulsive river of blood emanating from the guillotine in the center of Paris.

Rousseau famously wrote, “Man is born free, but is everywhere in chains,” so he would have vetoed the revolution. Both men would have been aghast, even ashamed with the destruction, deception, and death. However, their humanism, secularism, and distrust, distaste, and disdain for the crown, the church, and the cottage set the stage for what followed decades after their initial attack.

But they started it and are stuck with it. That’s what happens when a nation rejects heavenly revelation and snuggles up to human reasoning.

I wonder what Voltaire and Rousseau would have thought of present-day America where one is condemned for what he did, wrote, or said 30 years ago! Where you can’t say, “All lives matter” or “Blue Lives Matter,” but must say, “Black lives matter.” Where historical monuments are being destroyed, and history is being rewritten to resemble a fairy tale.

The French should have seen it coming over the decades as critics of the crown, the church, and the cottage became progressively louder, bolder, and shriller.

Local and clandestine Jacobin clubs (consisting of Philosophers, Freemasons, and Illuminati) were the workhorses of the Reign of Terror in 1793 during the dictatorship of the revolution. At the time, there were up to 8,000 clubs in France consisting of about 500,000 members. They were no longer merely civic or social clubs but instruments of terror.

Their ostensible responsibility was to help with the running of local governments, policing the local markets, and raising supplies for the military and local police departments. They presented themselves as the epitome of public virtue and were quick to point out anyone suspected of disloyalty to the cause. And, with missionary zeal, they helped destroy all vestiges of Christianity. They became the tool of terrorist leader Robespierre whom he manipulated to his advantage.

Members of the Jacobin clubs were “snake in the grass” Frenchmen who had been radicalized over decades and were waiting for the signal to rebel, resist, riot, and revolt. All leaders of the plot had secret names for one another in their private correspondence. It was arranged so that no one knew many members.

Most historians smile at the suggestion that the French Revolution was promoted by conspirators decades before the streets exploded and the guillotine blade became dull with constant use. Just another conspiracy theory.

Those historians are wrong.

Yale President Timothy Dwight was an American educator, Congregational minister, and President of Yale from 1886–1898. He documented the origin of the revolutionary Jacobin organizers who agitated for a brutal revolution. He declared, “About the year 1728, Voltaire, so celebrated for his wit and brilliancy and not less distinguished for his hatred of Christianity and his abandonment of principle, formed a systematical design to destroy Christianity and to introduce in its stead a general diffusion of irreligion and atheism. … With great art and insidiousness the doctrines of … Christian theology were rendered absurd and ridiculous; and the mind of the reader was insensibly steeled against conviction and duty.”

Dwight continued, “The fabrication of books of all kinds against Christianity, especially such as excite doubt and generate contempt and derision. … The being of God was denied and ridiculed … The possession of property was pronounced robbery. Chastity and natural affection were declared to be nothing more than groundless prejudices. Adultery, assassination, poisoning, and other crimes of the like infernal nature, were taught as lawful…provided the end was good. … The good ends proposed … are the overthrow of religion, government, and human society, civil and domestic. These they pronounce to be so good that murder, butchery, and war, however extended and dreadful, are declared by them to be completely justifiable.”

Note the similarities: There was a design to destroy, as today. There was an attack on Christ and the Bible, as today. There was an attack on property, as today. Horrible crimes were permitted if they were for a good cause, as today. If the end was desirable (to them), then the means were justified, like today. The worst crimes, even murder, were acceptable, as today.

The slow but sure erosion of the foundations of France began with Voltaire and was continued by the self-righteous philosophers and anti-crown, anti-church, anti-family fanatics over the following decades.

They dispensed with the corrupt Roman Catholic Church and installed the Cult of Reason. A prostitute was enthroned at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris as the goddess of the French people. France was renamed The Republic of Virtue! The press and theaters were turned into tools for state propaganda. More than 2,000 churches were renamed Temples of Reason and became the voice of this cult. Crosses offended some people, so they were outlawed; religious monuments and statues were destroyed; public and private worship and education outlawed; Christian graves were desecrated. Churches were closed or used for immoral, lurid, licentious, scandalous depravities; and priests and ministers (along with those who harbored them) were executed on sight for a while.

What was their theme again? Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity.

The Apostle Peter warned about this in II Peter 2:19 when he wrote, “While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.”

All secret societies are dishonest, deceptive, and dangerous to any society, whether it be the KKK, the Freemasons, or the elitist Order of Skull and Bones, a Yale University society originally known as the Brotherhood of Death. All sober people should flee such groups as if their hair was on fire. However, insecure elitists gravitate to such groups where they wallow in supposed superiority and delight in awarding and receiving honors. They spend much time patting each other on the back and stroking each other’s egos.

The secretive Jacobins (who met on Jacob Street in Paris) were sensitive to public virtue but thought personal virtue repugnant. They reported people who were suspects or who were not sufficiently pro-terror. It was an ideal time to take revenge on someone by suggesting to others about his or her suspicious political positions.

Many top-level aristocrats who had suspicious political views were beheaded or imprisoned, while those who remained alive lost all special treatment and privileges. The middle class took control following the much-touted program of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. That was great for a while, but when Robespierre took control, terror reigned. Civil war followed as believers of the monarchy (upper class) fought the revolutionaries (mainly lower-class except for leaders) for control. About half a million people were imprisoned between 1793 and 1794, and up to 300,000 were killed by firing squad and drowning. The bloody guillotine claimed 40,000 lives (without trial) in Paris, most of them because they held the wrong political views.

The basic philosophy behind and driving the Revolution was an attack on all authority—the church, the crown, the cottage. It was a deliberate conspiracy or plot to overthrow the throne, altar, and authoritarian family structure in Europe. The motive was the dissolution of all civil society. They would not need government because they believed in man’s perfectibility; consequently, no government would be necessary. This belief resulted from the influence of the Illuminati, who became leaders in the Jacobin clubs.

America stands at the crossroads. Revolutionary leaders in the U.S. make their destructive contributions to national disruption as Robespierre and Denis Diderot did in France. All revolutionaries plan change, control, and chaos in their nation.

They must be stopped, but revolutions, once started, are almost impossible to stop.

Some of those “protests” went on for months with hundreds and thousands of businesses destroyed, public buildings, including a post office and police station, damaged. Spineless, soft, and stupid mayors and governors refused to arrest the rioters since they were bedfellows. Law enforcement watched as leftist thugs disrupted, destabilized, destroyed public and private businesses. The politicians’ response was to denounce, defund, and disband police.

On January 6, a portion of Trump’s supporters got out of control and broke into the U.S. Capitol, taking over some offices, breaking windows and doors. It will be no surprise if we discover BLM and Antifa operatives had infiltrated the rally. One woman was killed, and four others died during the brawl. There was no justification for the violence. While the massive crowd supporting President Trump was legitimate, those who forced their way into federal buildings were thugs in MAGA hats. Hopefully, they will spend years in prison to contemplate their form of political activity and “patriotism.”

This was a continuation of the Second American Revolution.
July 14, 1789, the Storming of the Bastille in Paris (an armory, fortress, and political prison where only seven prisoners were discovered) is considered the beginning of the bloody French Revolution. It continued with the bloodstained guillotine severing about 40,000 heads without the benefit of trial, with another 300,000 dying by drowning, firing squad, and other forms of mass execution. The Revolution ended when Napoleon (its major benefactor) stepped into the political vacuum it created. Furthermore, millions of Europeans were killed during his twelve-year reign.

Ninety-eight attackers and one defender were killed in the initial assault of the Bastille, followed by Governor de Launay, who ran the prison, and a few other victims. As the heads of the Bastille defenders were paraded through the streets, and the explosive news reached King Louis at his palace in Versailles, he exploded, “This is revolt!” An aide responded: “No, Sire, it is a Revolution!”

America is not in revolt or resistance, but in a revolution for the same reason—identity politics or pitting class against class. In France, it was the common people (who paid most of the taxes and fought the wars) against the combined corrupt and privileged clergy and aristocracy.

American leftists have been pandering to Blacks, Hispanics, LGBTQ crowd, college students, Muslims, effervescent Evangelicals, dwarfs, Eskimoes, and deaf tuba players for years, stroking their tender feelings. Now, the shallow-minded among them have placed themselves in the forefront of the battle—cannon fodder proving they have always been “useful idiots.”

In recent years, conservative Christians and conservative pagans, and all sane people who believe in a robust America-first position have generally gravitated to President Donald Trump. Trump is known for being a rude, crude, lewd dude; however, ordinary people can separate his personality from his policies. He managed to keep his promises, something that embarrasses most politicians of all parties.

After all, Trump’s promise-keeping might suggest that all politicians should do the same. Wow, how would that work? An honest promise-keeping politician appears on the scene as often as a chaste prostitute does.

Trump’s enemies (all who spend most of their time in left field) opposed him from his announcement as a presidential candidate; refused to recognize his lawful election; accused him of being a Russian agent; frequently compared him to Hitler; and impeached him in the House but failed in the Senate. With the total support of social media, the mainstream media, and all leftists, they successfully stole the 2020 election. After their victory, those same sanctimonious hypocrites asked for Conservatives to forget their vicious, virulent, and vile actions over the past four years and join them around the flagpole singing kumbaya. The Democrats are willing to bury the hatchet—in Trump’s back.

The leftist Democrats and anemic Republicans rightly identified the January 6 activists as “thugs,” “a mob,” and “terrorists”; however, those same people refused to show such anger over the “peaceful” protests that have continued since the George Floyd killing on May 25, 2020.

President-elect Biden said of the January 6 rally, “This is not a protest; it’s an insurrection”; however, he was quiet as a mouse about the months of violence. Was that because it was his crowd doing the violent acts, burning businesses, looting stores, and killing innocent people?

Our new Commander-in-Chief is the Hypocrite-in-Chief.

Shockingly, of the massive demonstrations in 2020 across the United States following the death of George Floyd,  95% were connected to the Black Lives Matter movement! But we are not supposed to say that since it embarrasses the hypocrites in the media and politicians standing around sucking their thumbs while the cities burned and innocent people died.

While there is no excuse for the excesses at the Capitol, there is an explanation.

All will agree that over half of Americans have lost confidence in our elections. They have many unanswered questions and no answers. Furthermore, there is no doubt that dead people and unregistered voters voted. And some voted many times. All these voters, except the dead, should go to prison. I don’t know, and neither do you, about the reliability of the voting machines; whether or not there was a conspiracy; whether or not there were massive failures; but there were enough dubious, disputed, if not dishonest actions that demand an investigation.

Trump haters quickly assure us that there was no overwhelming evidence of fraud, but who defines overwhelming? We have been told repeatedly that scores of state and federal courts looked into the matter and found nothing amiss. No, the courts did not hear the evidence. They refused to look; therefore, they could not see any problems. I have not heard anyone try to defend the apparent unconstitutional voting procedures in Pennsylvania.

Doesn’t truth matter anymore?

What would be wrong with having a commission look into the matter if there is nothing to hide? If the election were fair, that would support the accusation that Trump supporters are a bunch of zealous know-nothings and members in good standing at the local Flat Earth Club.

If there was corruption with Biden and others fraudulently elected, it means an illegal regime will rule us. Our wise Founders knew that the day might arise when it is time to do it all over again and throw off a tyrant worse than King George. It does not mean we revolt because of high taxes, paying reparations to Blacks, support of the LGBTQ crowd, forgiving college loans, or going even deeper into debt. Still, there could be a time to “dissolve the political bands” which bind us together. But never for frivolous reasons.

True patriots must understand that historically republics and democracies have always come under attack with the threat of losing freedom; thus, requiring another quest for liberty. Jefferson clearly declared in the Declaration of Independence, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, …That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and… it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

Are we really there yet?

In his 1787 letter to William Stephens Smith, Jefferson declared, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

But not yet. I dread the time I have to make the decision the Founders had to make, and if fair elections are not possible, then the time is close at hand.

The Capitol rebellion did not have to happen, and much of the blame must fall on Trump. He failed to organize and prepare for a vast crowd that could easily be infiltrated by rogue, ruthless, and revolting rabble. He should have informed the crowd that they should always obey authorities and follow instructions from appointed marshals with communication devices and wearing red MAGA coats. Moreover, they should have been cautioned never to be involved in violence. He did not take such simple, obvious precautions.

King Louis VI failed to take precautions when he visited the Bastille without his Swiss bodyguards on July 15, 1789, the day following its fall.  Then, on August 10, 1792, a mob stormed the King’s residence and massacred over 600 hundred of the royal Swiss guards. On January 21, 1793, the King was beheaded on the guillotine, followed later by Queen Marie Antoinette. The King’s family was imprisoned, and the bloody Revolution ended years later with Napoleon assuming control of France and much of Europe.

Trump may not get his head handed to him; only get a hatchet in his back from Democrats, and many backstabs by former friends.
France turned from the God of the Bible at their Revolution, and following America’s Revolution, America experienced a religious revival called the Second Great Awakening which spread from shore to shore across the fruited plain.

I’m fearful what may spread from shore to shore following this Second American Revolution.

Of course, we all thought black lives mattered, and most of us added, but then all lives matter. What we didn’t know when we first heard those words is that not all those people were concerned about black lives; they wanted to produce rage, resistance, revolution, and reparations.

Those realities are obvious as I write this column. Sane, thoughtful people have said, “Whoa, just minute, I’m for equality and fairness, but I want no connection with BLM since it really means, Burn, Loot, Murder.”

This lethal crusade is not new. It has been in the works for years. Like termites, it has wormed its way into our churches, schools, military, entertainment, and industry. At the core is hatred of authority.

Many people involved with BLM, Antifa, Nation of Islam, and other groups are innocent dupes, guilty of being too lazy or careless or stupid to think for themselves and take a stand for principle, not swallowing grandiose slogans. Maybe too late, they will realize they were regarded as useful idiots to be used by unprincipled tyrants. No doubt, many have realized the truth as they watched New York City, Portland, Minneapolis, Seattle, Kenosha, and other cities burn.

This revolution is not spontaneous. The nefarious leaders had only been looking for the opportune time. They found it: authorities apparently mistreated a man, even a bad man (although we all know now that he was resisting arrest and had overdosed on fentanyl); the weather was right; it was a chance to attack the man every leftist hates, Donald Trump; and the money was available to fund the whole thing. It didn’t matter that the money was dirty and from a corrupt individual. Everything fell into place like it was planned.

It was.

The on-going Revolution of 2020 is not accidental unless the Rose Bowl Parade could be so identified.

This has happened before.

The dictum of “liberty, equality, and brotherhood” struck a chord in the hearts of the eighteenth-century French, especially the common people who paid most of the taxes, did most of the backbreaking labor, and did most of the fighting and dying during their intermittent wars.

Scott says in Inside the terror of the French Revolution that the French did not understand that there can be equality of opportunity and of the law, but that does not guarantee equality of outcome. After all, true liberty will provide room for differences in abilities and choices. Two equally free people may have a vast difference in personal character, discipline, ability, ambition, and numerous other attributes that will impact results. Forced equality of outcome never works.

What most readers of the infamous French Revolution have missed is that it was not an automatic response by an oppressed, overtaxed, underfed people to an oppressive king. Rather, it was a revolution that had been planned for decades. Humanists such as Voltaire, Diderot, Rousseau, plus thousands of masons, illuminists, atheists, agnostics, and other God-haters, planned to eradicate all religions, King Louis XVI, and the father-led families in France. Some, like Voltaire, were critical of the Roman Catholic Church but did not want it destroyed since it was the glue that held the nation together. Their goal was to destroy its grip on the nation.

Note that the Revolution was an attack on all authority—the church, the crown, the cottage.

Pierre Bayle (died 1706), was a French Calvinist philosopher who had a major influence on the Enlightenment. He was forced into exile by the repressive policies of King Louis XVI. Bayle’s writings demanded freedom of thought, religion, and no despotic rule. Legitimate critics of monarchy and the absolute rule of King Louis XVI had been fueling reproof, resistance, and revolution for decades. However, the radical critics went all the way to the guillotine.

Emmanuel Joseph Sieyes, Jacques Pierre Brissot, Goerges Danton, and Maximilien Robespierre played an essential part in propelling France toward the Revolution. However, the nation had been infected by skeptical, even atheistic termites for decades that destroyed the nation’s foundations.

The framers of the Revolution were all influential journalists or aristocrats in powdered wigs and silk knee-breeches, carrying expensive snuff boxes. The common people who did the work, paid most of the taxes, and fought the wars wore long pants called pantaloons. They were work clothes.

The march to the guillotine started in 1717 with Voltaire when he was imprisoned in the Bastille for almost a year for mocking authorities. He was a courageous crusader against tyranny, bigotry, and cruelty; but he was also a skeptic, believing in a god and the afterlife, but not much else.

His wit influenced future writers and philosophers to attack authority, and some went much further than Voltaire wanted to go, but that usually happens when men are separated from the authoritative Bible. He and other philosophers were interested in public morality and virtue even though most of them lived like barnyard animals. That was true of Voltaire, who was sexually involved and lived with his “fat and rosy-cheeked niece” until his death.

Maximillian de Robespierre was one of the most influential figures of the French Revolution, which brought about the fall of King Louis XVI in 1792, and was the main cheerleader for the on-rushing and bloody revolution. He did not give the French people a Republic of Virtue where everyone was equal, free, and exercised brotherly love but a reign of terror where thousands of innocent people were killed.

A reviewer of Inside the terror of the French Revolution described the revolution as “a bloody reign of terror with mob rule, despotism, and the descent into barbarism with the mass killings of men, women, and children by their own government, not because of their deeds or misdeeds or real crimes, but because of their birth, opinions, and associations – or simply, for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

The Bolshevik’s Revolution in 1917 had the same killing philosophy. Orders were given that the soldiers were not to look for evidence of crimes against people or ask what they believe. They were simply to kill every person who was a leader: educators, pastors, physicians, and others. Guilt was not necessary. That was true in the French Revolution of the late 1700s, and it is true of the American Second Revolution of 2020.

The revolutionists led in part by Marat, Danton, Saint-Just, Hébert, Robespierre unleashed a horrible monster, a monster that, in the end, they could not control, for as Pierre Vergniaud said, “The revolution, like Saturn, is devouring its’ own children.”

We have already seen that take place with BLM and other tyrants.

The much voiced and beloved “Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity” that sounded so desirable turned into “you accept us, or we will beat you into a bloody mess—or worse.” Later, the words or death were added to their three-word motto.

Religious monuments were destroyed in the large cities; Public and private worship and education were outlawed; Priests and ministers, along with those who harbored them, were executed on sight.

The French Revolution began with a Reign of Terror as over 40,000 people were beheaded in Paris. It was an intentional campaign to de-Christianize French society and replace it with a civic religion of state worship.

Robespierre, on February 5, 1794, in a speech titled “The Terror Justified,” declared, “Lead … the enemies of the people by terror. …Terror is nothing else than swift, severe, indomitable justice.” Then he began denouncing, detaining, and decapitating first the royalty then the wealthy then the farmers and businessmen then those hoarding food then the clergy. Then the former revolutionaries. Then, Robespierre himself was walked up the steps to be guillotined.

Robespierre put a prostitute in Notre Dame Cathedral and called her the goddess of reason to be worshiped. The new secular government proceeded to forbid crosses as being offensive and took control of the Roman Catholic Church and took control of the bleeding nation.

I don’t believe in reincarnation, but some leaders of BLM and Antifa appear to be wearing silk stockings and carrying French snuff boxes. And for sure, they all seek to justify their violence, and no one is wearing work clothes.

French protestors were rioting in the streets; rebellion was in the air. Thousands of Frenchmen of all classes had been executed, many by beheading, including women and children. Royalists (supporters of King Louis XVI) felt the monarchy permanently slipping away. Roman Catholic Church leaders had lost their privileged positions, including much of their lands. The commoners were heady with new laws that gave them power after their powerlessness.

Fear, anger, hatred, and resentment reigned in Paris as mobs roamed and often controlled the streets. The common people wanted to keep what concessions they had gained, and the aristocrats and the church leaders wanted to gain back control.

The French Revolution (planned for decades by Freemasons, Jacobins, and assorted atheistic God-haters) was out of control. Even the revolutionary leaders lost power and were themselves marched to the guillotine that was always ripe with blood from recent victims.

The protesters (revolutionaries) had three goals: destroy the government, the church, and the traditional home. Their battle cry was liberty, equality, fraternity, which was admirable, but extremists turned it into rivers of blood.

France was about to make a decision that would decide their destiny: would they follow America’s “revolution” of a decade earlier, or would they heed the rantings of radicals of past years and choose to be ruled by a strongman?

Americans wanted independence, while the French wanted insurrection. Americans had an intense love for freedom; Frenchmen had an intense hatred for the Roman Catholic Church.

An obscure soldier saw an opportunity in the chaos and took it. Like many world leaders, Napoleon Bonaparte rose to power via revolution. Napoleon’s battles were at first against his fellow Frenchmen, as he sought to defend the republican government that had replaced the monarchy with the beheading of King Louis XVI on January 21, 1793. He would later destroy and take over the government.

Napoleon was in command of soldiers in Paris and realized that the city had exploded, and anarchy was about to take control. He ordered his soldiers to use cannon against the rebels. At the first blast, the crowd scattered as about 300 royalists died in the street. Historian Thomas Carlyle, in his classic history of the revolution, declared that Napoleon won with a “whiff of grapeshot,” and in doing so, effectively ended the French Revolution.

It did not end there. This was Napoleon’s stepping stone to absolute power. He went on to bleed Europe for more than ten years before he was stopped by the Duke of Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The British exiled Napoleon to the island of Saint Helena where he died six years later.
The Scourge of Europe was dead at 51.

While I don’t have a law enforcement background, I believe it is time for a whiff, just a whiff of grapeshot, to restore order to city streets. Not to kill people, although that could happen; people are already dying during the “peaceful” protests. Mayors and Governors are mainly responsible for the disruption, disorder, and destruction, and they have proved ineffective in Minneapolis, Portland, Chicago, and about 30 other cities.

American cities have been invaded. Many concerned demonstrators who want better black/white relationships are being used by low-class violent hooligans organized by Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Antifa, sworn enemies of liberty, equality, fraternity—the motto of the French Revolution. Moreover, burning cities, broken windows, and barricaded streets do not reflect the motto. Not in Paris or Philadelphia. Not in Marseilles or Minneapolis.

More than thirty cities have been invaded by barbarians: Atlanta, Albuquerque, Austin, Bakersfield, Boston, Chicago, Chattanooga, Columbus, Dallas, Fort Worth, Des Moines, Denver, Detroit, District of Columbia, Houston, Los Angeles, Louisville, Memphis, Minneapolis, New York City, Oakland, Phoenix, Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, San Antonio, and others. Most of the protests are not peaceful, but disorderly, destructive, dangerous, even deadly.

Two things are common with those invaded cities: Democratic control and strict gun laws. Another is official duplicity (a kind word for lying). When politicians and the media speak about the death of Floyd, they usually repeat that he was “unarmed,” but they never reveal that he was a lifetime felon and was resisting arrest. Most of the other Blacks killed by police officers were criminals like Floyd. If those officials were responsible leaders and were honestly concerned with all lives, they would remind Blacks and Whites to obey, respect, and cooperate with police officials.

Montesquieu was a French legislator whose Spirit of the Laws helped create a desire for freedom, wrote, “When the laws have ceased to be executed, as this can only come from the corruption of the republic, the state is already lost.” America could now be where the French were: standing on the edge of a cliff. Will it be law and order or mob rule? It is time for local officials to take control. I hope others don’t die in the attempt, but people are dying anyway. Any deaths, however unfortunate, should have a payoff—peace and order and jail for all unruly, violent, participants.

It is shocking that city and state officials have been so lenient, even cooperative with violent protesters. It is unprecedented, unnecessary, and unfortunate, and it is time for disruptive protesters to get a “whiff of grapeshot.”

Difficult times usually produce or reveal great leaders. Napoleon was at the right place at the right time and ended the French Revolution with a “whiff of grapeshot.” However, he rode from that encounter of grapeshot to put fear in the hearts of millions of Europeans instead of making France a free nation no longer under the heel of an authoritative king. Grapeshot followed Napoleon all over Europe, Russia, and Egypt.

Tragically, those in control (that changed quickly) followed the ruminations of Georges-Jacques Danton, Jean-Paul Marat, and Maximilien Robespierre instead of believers in personal freedom that American leaders followed: Montesquieu, John Locke, and Sir William Blackstone.

As American cities have been invaded by modern vandals and law and order have been suspended, it is time for President Trump to exercise his authority and protect us against enemies, foreign and domestic by a “whiff of grapeshot.” Napoleon ended the beheading spree of the revolution, and Trump can end this anarchist rebellion and should do so even if someone is killed.

Whatever it takes, Trump must restore order and prosecute those responsible for the violence resulting in destruction and death. I believe he can then be assured of reelection in November. If order is not restored soon, America will be condemned to dragging the corpse of Joe Biden on our backs for at least four years.

Or, until his family moves him to the Old Folks Home.

If violent protesters refuse to obey the law, Trump should give them a “whiff of grapeshot” that will save us from the destruction like that of the French. Peaceful protesters are welcome; violent protesters will be jailed if they don’t scatter. All those arrested will be prosecuted.

I prefer four more years of kept promises, a strong economy, full employment, abortion limited if not stopped, a truly conservative Supreme Court, and immigration under control.

If that requires a “whiff of grapeshot,” let’s have it now before it breaks out in the suburbs because it would need much more than a “whiff.”

Most nations are staring into the face of financial chaos and political upheaval precipitated by an obvious moral collapse—the slaughter of innocent babies inside mothers’ wombs; the same-sex “marriage” abomination; the child abuse known as transgenderism; the shocking number of illegitimate babies born each year; the lack of discipline in our homes; the incredible amount of divorces; unhealthy if not undisciplined citizens dependent on legal and illegal drugs and alcohol; etc.

The above horrific list is indicative of moral collapse, so the monetary chaos, exacerbated by the malicious coronavirus, is directly ahead of us, followed by military control.

France traveled this path over 200 years ago and is a perfect pattern of where we are at this time.

When France came to our aid during our struggle for independence in the late 1700s, (mainly to strike a blow at England who had recently humiliated them in the Seven Years’ War), it left France teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. The problem was exacerbated with years of bad harvests and crop failure in 1788, followed by a long period of financial discontent, decline, and disorder that precipitated a fearful atmosphere in the citizens. Many thought their problems were government-based, and they were generally right.

The regional failed harvests of 1787 and 1788 and an inadequate transportation system created a food shortage for the most populous nation in Europe whose population had doubled from 1715 to 1800. Peasants couldn’t afford the high cost for bread, and with the shortage came even higher prices.

Commoners demanded price controls on many items resulting in the absence or shortages of necessary items. This was followed by the failure of the silk harvest that raised prices on clothing. That meant the lowest class (that had gained land and money, but limited power) spent so much money on essentials, they could not purchase other goods. All this further complicated the fragile economy.

The French Revolution (beginning in 1789 and ending in 1799 with the ascent of Napoleon Bonaparte) was precipitated by the above foolish fiscal practices that ruined the economy. France had been a moral cesspool for decades. When the people got scared and hungry, the bloody revolution followed. Hungry people think with their stomachs and always gravitate to a strongman who promises them food and order.

The purpose of the French Revolution, as espoused by the philosophers, guilds, and Masonic Lodge, was to destroy the castle and the cottage and the church. Reform was not their desire; it was a revolution to destroy the monarchy, the family, and the church. To show their contempt for Christ and the Roman Church, they even produced a new calendar.

Americans are witnesses to attacks upon the same entities today—government, home, and the church.

French citizens were divided into the First Estate (the Catholic clergy), the Second Estate (the nobility), and the Third Estate (the commoners) under the absolute rule of Louis XVI. The three groups, called the Estates General, had not met for over 150 years, but was called to meet May 5, 1789. It was expected to approve a new land tax that did not exempt the nobles.

The commoners (Third Estate) consisted of 98% of the people, yet they could be outvoted by the clergy and nobles! On June 17, the deputies of the Third Estate declared themselves the National Assembly. On the 19, the clergy reluctantly decided to join the Third Estate.

The commoners, thinking the military had been ordered to attack them, took control, forcing the clergy and nobles to go along with significant reforms, but they went kicking and screaming all the way.

The rebellion was growing with intensity and numbers as mobs spread from Paris to the countryside culminating in the attack on the Bastille July 14, 1789. This Storming of the Bastille, when commoners were looking for guns and ammunition, is considered a French national holiday and the beginning of the revolution.

Commoners looted and burned the homes of the tax collectors, church leaders, and landlords venting decades of resentment of the aristocrats. Officials in Paris received reports that mobs had formed all over the country, producing the Great Fear or “Who’s going to be attacked next?” So, the short-lived ruling Assembly (created by the Third Estate—commoners) knowing they were sitting on a seething volcano, decided to make changes before the nation was in total rebellion.

During the night of August 4, 1789, the Assembly “entirely” abolished feudalism—that had been dying since the 1400s as an aftershock of the Black Death pestilence. Along with that vote went oppressive regulations, taxes, and preferential treatment of the clergy and nobles. Peasants now owned land, and some merchants, physicians, and artisans had attained wealth but no political power. That night also brought equal punishment for all classes; the opportunity of anyone being a candidate for public office—except Jews; the abolition of purchase of public office; and a better and fairer division of land. It also meant religious freedom from the iron grip of the Catholic Church, suppression of large payments to the Pope, removal of unmerited pensions, favoritism in taxation, and other benefits for ordinary people.

Wow, the people were heady with their success as the Assembly issued 19 Decrees; however, during the following years, various groups, including the king, tried to claw back some of the privileges taken from them. Freedom was in the air, and King Louis’ head was resting uneasily on his shoulders. He knew his head would be removed if the mob took total control. That happened when a group of insurgents led by the extremist Jacobins attacked the royal residence in Paris and arrested the king on August 10, 1792.

The following month, a Republic was formed, and the monarchists knew it was over. Louis lost his head literally in January of 1793, as did his wife Marie Antoinette nine months later.

Different groups twisted the liberties (guaranteed by the 19 Decrees), creating a dictatorship and the Reign of Terror from 1793 to 1794, directed by Robespierre. In their attempt to remove every religious influence, Robespierre was appointed to the Committee of Public Safety, and he disempowered the Catholic Church.

Revolutions can seldom be controlled, and a 10-month Reign of Terror was a tragic time when suspected enemies of the revolution were guillotined by the thousands. Many of the killings were carried out under orders from Robespierre, who now controlled the Committee of Public Safety.

The Terror ended in 1795 with the arrest and execution without trial of Robespierre and many of his allies proving once again that revolutionaries always turn on their own. The Directory took control of the nation from the National Assembly and repudiated debts and closed down elections.

France was about to explode in anarchy under a total dictatorship where no one was safe. Anyone who was not outspoken in support of the Directory was suspected of being the enemy. About 40,000 people were guillotined during the Reign of Terror, according to some historians.

However, Thomas Carlyle (died 1881) in his highly acclaimed history mentions 44,000 revolutionary committees, established throughout France, “like as many companies of reapers or gleaners, gleaning France, are gathering their harvest” enthusiastically sending them to Paris to be guillotined. Additionally, there were bands of Jacobin fanatics who roamed the nation with portable guillotines that were set up in the town squares while others dragged their victims to the square to be beheaded. Note that there were 44,000 such committees doing that bloody work. Moreover, some beheaded victims were skinned, and breeches made of their skin, according to Carlyle.

In the name of liberty, equality, fraternity, or death, 300,000 people were publicly executed by firing squads, drownings, and other methods of mass murder; and ultimately, many millions died in the 25 years of war and upheaval that followed.

Standing in the shadows was a young upstart (a military genius) with delusions of grandeur seeing himself as the future ruler of France and Europe—Napoleon. He had rapidly risen through the ranks of the military during the revolution. After seizing political power in a 1799 coup d’état, he crowned himself emperor in 1804.

And on that night, every ruler in Europe went to bed, trembling in terror.

Monetary chaos will always follow moral collapse, followed by military control. Get ready for the worst “train wreck” in history. And you can be sure that there is an American “Napoleon” prepared to take control.

Whatever his political affiliation, he will be sure to keep his foot on your neck. It won’t matter to your neck whether it is his left or right foot. The result is the same—loss of personal freedom.
