Tea at Trianon: Who Ordered the Hits?

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

Who Ordered the Hits?

From Tierney's Real News:

The Democrats (Communists) just showed me who murdered Charlie Kirk of TPUSA and Ella Cook of the College Republicans at Brown University. They can’t help themselves. They love to brag. Forget all the noise and distractions and rabbit holes and focus on the MOTIVE and you’ll see clearly what’s going on.
This newsletter covers a wealth of material in a 10 minute read - and connects lots of dots - so it’s complicated. But, I guarantee you won’t find my educated conclusions anywhere else. Just one week after Ella Cook, the VP of the College Republicans (CRA) at Brown University was murdered, and just three months after Charlie Kirk of TPUSA was murdered at the Utah Valley University campus, Democrats announced that they had formed a NEW organization to compete with TPUSA and the CRA on college campuses - to reach young voters so that Democrats can win mid-term elections! How timely and convenient! Hmm. So first someone needed to murder Charlie Kirk and Ella Cook to get those two strong young Republican leaders out of the way so that Democrats could make this happen? Who thinks that’s a coincidence? Not me.
The DNC announced their new “youth initiative” called NATIONAL YOUTH COORDINATED TABLE (NYCT) exclusively on Newsweek on Thursday, December 18, 2025 in an interview with Democrat New York State Senator James Skoufis, who wants desperately to be the new head of the DNC. Remember that date. (Read more.)
