Tea at Trianon: Pandemics: History’s Most Infallible Business Opportunity

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

Pandemics: History’s Most Infallible Business Opportunity

From The Easton Gazette:

It amounts to perhaps the most infallible wealth concentration scheme in history. The general model proved itself during COVID-19, orchestrating the largest wealth transfer on a global scale, from poor to rich, the world has seen. Rather than fiddling around with sanitation, nutrition, and the endemic infections that kill people, international public health is now concentrated on hypothetical but far more profitable stuff like Disease-X (the next pandemic), amply guided by the corporatists it will benefit.

The last big natural pandemic, the Spanish Flu, occurred over a century ago in the pre-antibiotic era. The recent COVID-19 pandemic is widely thought to have arisen from just the sort of research being promoted within these WHO pandemic initiatives; WHO now proposes to increase sharing of viruses considered to be high risk among laboratories that it oversees. This is the same WHO that concluded COVID-19 did not transmit from human to human, and may have come from frozen fish rather than the Wuhan Institute of Virology just down the road. It suggested this after sending its team, including a senior scientist involved in funding coronavirus researchers at that same institute, to investigate the problem. Since then, whilst insisting that ‘misinformation’ kills, WHO has been systematically misinforming the public and their governments regarding the future risk from natural outbreaks. (Read more.)
