Tea at Trianon: False Flag Minnesota

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

False Flag Minnesota

From Tierney's Real News:

Minnesota House Democrat leader Melissa Hortman and her husband were fatally shot in their Brooklyn Park home, and state Senator John Hoffman and his wife were shot and survived the attack at their home in Champlin. Hortman, the top Democrat in Minnesota House, was shot and killed along with her husband. Hoffman and his wife were also shot and are in stable condition.
As usual, we need to wait at least 72 hours for the entire picture to unfold but here’s what we know so far:
WALZ: “We’re here today because an unspeakable tragedy has unfolded in Minnesota. My good friend and colleague, Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were shot and killed this morning in what appears to be a politically motivated assassination. Our state lost a great leader, and I lost the dearest of friends. Speaker Hortman was someone who served the people of Minnesota with grace, compassion, humor and a sense of service. She was a formidable public servant, a fixture and a giant in Minnesota. She woke up every day determined to make this state a better place. She is irreplaceable and will be missed by so many.”
“My prayers also go out to state Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette, who were each shot multiple times. The Hoffmans are out of surgery at this time and are receiving care and we are cautiously optimistic that they will survive this assassination attempt."
“Out of an abundance of caution my Department of Public Safety is recommending that people do not attend any political rallies today in Minnesota until the suspect is apprehended.” (Read more.)

From Just the News:

Walz has stated that the shooting was politically motivated. On its social media account, the Minnesota State Patrol posted photos of flyers that were found in the assassin's vehicle. The flyers had the words “No Kings" on them, a reference to protests planned across the country on Saturday. The patrol asked the public not to attend protests in Minnesota "out of an abundance of caution." Citing police sources, the New York Post reported that Vance Luther Boelter allegedly posed as a police officer Saturday when he shot Sen. John Hoffman, his wife, Yvette, and former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband. Hortman and her husband died, while Hoffman and his wife are expected to survive. In 2019, Walz appointed Boelter, 57, to serve on the Governor's Workforce Development Board, according to The Post. (Read more.}

The term 'No Kings' may sound tame to the average liberal, but to those within Antifa and anarchist circles, it is a slogan loaded with militant history. The phrase "No Gods, No Masters," often modified to "No Gods, No Kings," is an established anarchist mantra, dating back to 19th-century labor radicalism. It connotes total rejection of authority, religious, civil, and institutional. As Kyle Shideler of the Center for Security Policy notes, this slogan is not an accident. It is a signal to militant groups that their participation is not merely welcome, but ideologically affirmed. Moreover, the irony is impossible to ignore: if Donald Trump truly were a king, as the slogan suggests, these demonstrators would not be gathering publicly, waving signs and shouting slogans. In monarchies, dissent is punished, not platformed. The very fact that 'No Kings' protests can be organized and broadcast so widely disproves their central conceit.

In the days leading up to the June 14 protests, flyers emerged online, distributed by anonymous Antifa-linked accounts on social media, urging participants to engage in illegal behavior. These flyers were bilingual, printed in English and Spanish, and made available as downloadable PDFs for mass printing and distribution. They called for active resistance to law enforcement, citing previous riots in Los Angeles as models to emulate. These were not random provocations. They were premeditated directives. The fact that such materials were circulated in conjunction with 'No Kings' branding indicates that the movement's identity was being intentionally co-opted, or more plausibly, was designed to accommodate such co-optation from the outset.
Indivisible has tried to maintain the fiction that it is committed to nonviolence. Their official press guidance states that "a core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action." But this disavowal collapses under scrutiny. A group truly committed to nonviolence does not conscript anarchist terminology, does not coordinate with Antifa-aligned activists, and does not release rally planning materials into the same ecosystem where Molotov-throwers congregate.
