Tea at Trianon: Trammell's Murder

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

Trammell's Murder

From Chuck Norris at WND:

Trammell was regarded as "a community elder and beloved figure" by so many in his community, yet not a single Black Lives Matter (BLM) protest was initiated on his behalf. Not a single news story reported about his death from CNN, MSNBC, NYT or other liberal media outlets. Trammell was even a vocal proponent for the BLM movement and a supporter of Democratic state Sen. Lena Taylor's campaign to become Milwaukee mayor. Police still haven't found his killers. A federal investigation has ensued because they expect his murder was "politically motivated."

And did you hear this past week about the black conservative journalist and news reporter, who is also a Trump supporter, that was stabbed by an Antifa radical in Portland? Odds are you didn't, because mainstream media outlets didn't report on this anti-conservative, politically motivated assault either. (Read more.)

julygirl said...: Scary how they suppress events that do not fit into what they want the American public to know. They go unchecked and are considered 'gospel' by the majority of people who have confidence in their reporting. The 'power of the press' and those who utilize this power to bring down governments is lethal.; August 12, 2020 at 7:16:00 PM EDT
