Tea at Trianon: Carnage and Corruption

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Carnage and Corruption

From Big League Politics:

Robert F Kennedy Jr., chairman of Children’s Health Defense, has produced a damaging exposé of Bill Gates’ record in the production and distribution of vaccines worldwide. Kennedy Jr. referenced the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, which according to their report took $200 millions from the Gates Foundation and Rotary International to push vaccines from 2008-2012. He pointed to scientific research demonstrating how 490,000 children suffered non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP) above projected rates. This was part of the reason that the Modi government cut ties with the Gates Foundation in 2017. The Modi government was also concerned about the Gates Foundation’s extensive ties with Big Pharma. An explosive report from the Indian Express showed how India’s National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (NTAGI) had been bought off by the Gates Foundation. (Read more.)
