Tea at Trianon: The War Against Tulsi

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 War Against Tulsi

From AND Magazine:

Tulsi Gabbard is the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). She has made it clear that she intends to bring about meaningful change within the Intelligence Community (IC). Those Deep State assets within the IC who fully intend to ride out the Trump administration and then return to business as usual are having none of that. In response to every move Gabbard makes, a chorus of voices inside and outside the IC trots the same mantra. “Gabbard is endangering national security. Trust the experts. Leave the IC alone.”
The latest “controversy” created by the Deep State crowd concerns a lady named Julia Gurganus. She recently had her security clearance pulled by Gabbard and was named publicly when that was done. This, we are told, is a breach of security. Gurganus was undercover. She was a high-speed, low-drag “covert operative,” we are told. Outing her has put us all at risk. (Read more.)
