Tea at Trianon: Make America Healthy Again

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

Make America Healthy Again

#RFKjr and #CalleyMeans.

From The Rand Paul Review:

Time and time again, the medical establishment in this country has proven itself to be untrustworthy. Whether they’re funding gain-of-function research (and then lying about it) or sending out mini-tyrants like Anthony Fauci to trample on our rights, the signs are clear.
When we the people speak out about the dangers this poses, we’re gaslight. Both the establishment and their foot soldiers accuse Americans of being “conspiracy theorists” for daring to question the status quo.
We saw this rear its ugly head during COVID. In fact, everyday folks were accused of being menaces to public health, all for daring to have reservations about a rushed vaccine.
Sadly, the corruption of the medical establishment runs far deeper than most Americans realize. Right now, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is under fire for accepting payouts from foreign entities. (Read more.)
