Tea at Trianon: The March To Globalism Continues

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

The March To Globalism Continues

From The Easton Gazette:

The United Nations is actively navigating the river to one-world-governance, aka Globalism. While we, in these United States, take a breath on what we were sold as a “win” against the World Health Organization’s plans to implement their draconian “Pandemic Treaty” which is not a treaty at all (more on that in later articles) it comes to light that the United Nations has introduced what is called “Our Common Agenda”.

Is our common agenda one focused on empowering the individual on a global scale? Is it an agenda to create a stronger team of U.N. member countries? Is it designed to lift up the world’s poor populations currently being oppressed by their governments or ruthless gangs? Upon perusal of “Our Common Agenda” I can, with confidence, state emphatically "NO" to all those questions.

On the opening page titled ”A Wake-up call”, after the expected aggrandizing of the organization, a list titled “The Cost Of Covid-19” is listed. This list includes such claims as

“The pandemic-induced poverty surge will also widen the gender poverty gap, meaning more women will be pushed into extreme poverty than men.”
“Nearly one in three people in the world (2.37 billion) did not have access to adequate food in 2020 – an increase of almost 320 million people in just one year”
“Early estimates suggest a potential increase of up to 45 per cent in child mortality because of health-service shortfalls and reductions in access to food.”
“Total working hours fell by 8.8 per cent in 2020, the equivalent of 255 million full time jobs.”
“Restricted movement, social isolation and economic insecurity are increasing women’s vulnerability to violence in the home around the world.”

Challenges presented by C-19 are declared, such as; shared vulnerability, inequalities in societies, disenchantment with institutions and political leadership, vaccine nationalism. (Read more.)
