Tea at Trianon: The REAL Insurrection

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 REAL Insurrection

From Tierney's Real News:

As slimy California Governor Newsom was on TV telling Trump to get out of Los Angeles and that he had it covered, the Democrat Mayor of LA, Karen Bass, unintentionally admitted on CBS LA that the LAPD was "overrun" and couldn't handle the thousands of rioters - so Trump sending in the National Guard actually helped the situation. Only about 300 National Guard, out of the 2000 promised, were actually deployed at the beginning. (Read more.)

From Overton:

Instead of decisive leadership, Hanson said, California’s top officials poured fuel on the fire. He focused in on Governor Gavin Newsom, who condemned the immigration enforcement effort as “reckless” and claimed it was driven by an “arbitrary deportation quota.” But Hanson argued that Newsom’s words weren’t just tone-deaf—they were politically disastrous. He says these destroyed any pipe dream fantasies Newsom had of ever becoming president.
“Gavin Newsom then gave a series of editorializations that I think have ruined his chances ever to be a serious national candidate.” (Read more.)

From The Vigilant Fox:

STORY #1 - The LA riots aren’t organic. They’re a smokescreen—engineered to justify what comes next: lockdowns, military on the streets, and more AI surveillance. And it’s not just LA. A nationwide map reveals the chaos is coordinated, well-funded, and primed to erupt across America. @DataRepublican uncovered explosive links to radical left-wing groups—some tied to Chinese Communist Party propaganda. Even LA Mayor Karen Bass has deep ties to U.S.-backed regime change operations through the National Endowment for Democracy. Meanwhile, the media laughs it off as “just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn.” But what's coming next isn’t funny... It could be the next phase in a controlled demolition of American liberty. June 14 is the next coordinated flashpoint. Will Americans wake up before it’s too late? (Read more.)

From Culturcidal:

Liberals romanticize political violence aimed at their enemies. They rhetorically encourage it right up to the moment it happens; they coddle and protect the people who engage in it; and they often outright reward them for breaking the law. This has been going on for a long time.
For example, Barack Obama’s relationship with Bill Ayers was controversial for years. If you weren’t paying attention to politics in those days, you may be wondering who Bill Ayers was. Here’s an adequate synopsis of his crimes from Google’s AI:
Bill Ayers, a former co-founder of the Weather Underground, a radical group, faced charges related to the group's bombings of government buildings and other targets, including the New York City Police Department headquarters, the US Capitol, and the Pentagon. He was also associated with the group's actions during "Days of Rage" and the firebombing of a New York State Supreme Court judge's house. Federal charges against him were eventually dropped due to government misconduct.
Key Points about Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground:
* Weather Underground: Ayers co-founded the Weather Underground, a revolutionary group that sought to overthrow the US government.
Note what we’re talking about here. Someone who helped found a left-wing terrorist group that wanted to overthrow the government and bombed a number of buildings to help make that happen. It’s also noteworthy that he was unrepentant about that. In fact, he told the New York Times in 2001, “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.” (Read more.)

From James Howard Kunstler:

And pretty soon, expect action in a dozen other states, you can be sure, because just as it was in the scorpion’s nature to sting the frog crossing the river in the old parable, it is likewise in the Party of Chaos’s nature to sow chaos in an American summer.
The operation to cue riots over the removal of illegal immigrants has been well-planned in advance. Chief lawfare artists Norm Eisen and Mary McCord have engineered the legal strategy to oppose enforcement of US immigration law. They will clog the courts with lawsuits to prevent it and enlist their allied federal judges to issue injunction after injunction paralyzing the deportation process. They will work day and night to get their violent street cadres out of jail, just as they did in the 2020 George Floyd riots, so that these mutts can go back into the streets to loot and burn some more.
It is, of course, the most cynical operation imaginable. The Democratic Party hustled XX-millions of border-jumpers into the country under the authority of their phantom president, “Joe Biden” for one purpose: to flood the swing election precincts with enough new voters to keep the Party of Chaos in power permanently. Now that the illegals are here, the party will do anything it can to foil their removal. All the hand-wringing and crocodile tears over “fearful families and communities” is just stage-business to dress-up the CNN videos.
The ultimate goal of this operation is to goad President Trump into declaring some kind of national emergency to put down the violence, and the objective of that is to point at him and holler, “Behold the fascist tyrant!” That’s the game. The catch is, the Democrats are mistaken in thinking they can replay the George Floyd hustle. (Read more.)
