Tea at Trianon: Biological Truth

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

Biological Truth

From Tierney's Real News:

On inauguration day, President Trump reversed 78 Biden policies, signed dozens of executive orders & pardons and issued one restoring “biological truth” to the US Government - proclaiming that the U.S. government will recognize only two sexes, male and female.
The executive order states that Federal funds will no longer be used for “gender ideology” or “gender reassignment” surgery or hormones and basically that men should be kept out of women’s sports and women’s bathrooms & dressing rooms. Pretty simple.
“It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.” (Read more.)

From Right Flank:

In January 2024, The World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, brought “leaders from government, business, and civil society to address the state of the world and discuss priorities for the year ahead.” What harm could come from that? It depends on what priorities are being discussed.
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation–GLAAD–has attended the WEF annual meeting since 2018 to “bring LGBTQ people and issues into focus.”
In 2024, GLAAD focused on its relationship with the Partnership for Global LGBTIQ+ Equality. For its part, the “PGLE is a project of BSR, the U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the World Economic Forum.”
Confused yet? LGBTIQ + GLAAD + PGLE + BSR + U.N. = ????. It sounds like a highfalutin equation for an esoteric brand of cult knowledge. Put another way, it’s decidedly gnostic.
That’s okay. It’s supposed to be confusing. Engineered cognitive dissonance is at the center of the Leftist strategy for a corporate takeover of the world.
GLAAD has every right to fight defamation against gays and lesbians. But what if they were recruiting young people and indoctrinating them in LGBT ideology? And what if the WEF and the UN were backing them?
It would be an indoctrination program, not a human rights campaign. (Read more.)
