For the 32nd Saturday in a row, Parisians took to the streets to demand the end of COVID restrictions & vaccine passports. Except, this time, the police joined the protesters. Take a look. 1:38 total.
Didn’t something similar happen in 1789? At least in the movies?
Be afraid, Brandon, Castreau, et al. Be very afraid.
Hmm.
Was interested to see this also.
Do not know.
Here, a French whaling song by a Russian musical group.
Отава Ё - Pique la baleine (песня про китобоев)

The irony is that the French army joined the revolution in 1789.
Louis XVI’s biggest mistake was that he allowed Austrian soldiers in to defend him against French citizens.
Hmm. Did not King George send German mercenaries against the American Colonists as well. . .?
Interesting. Lot of ppl in black cloaks with black candles. . . 30 seconds.
Donde esta il papa?
Hmm. Did not King George send German mercenaries against the American Colonists as well. . .?
Well, the colonists were considered “rebels”, not a separate country like France having the king bring in an Austrian army.
During the Civil War. the Confederate Army would capture POWs who were German and couldn’t speak English, but had settled in the far north in states like Minnesota. They were mercenaries as well.
. . .Starting to sound familiar . . .
And if Russia claims that Ukraine has never been separate from Russia?
I really don’t know too much about that to be honest, except it’s going been going on for hundreds of years.
I don’t see how it has anything to do with us, and why are we involved when Europe is the one concerned? Why aren’t they troops pouring in?
Anyway, we already have lunatics like AOC and these horrid people Tlaib in U.S. government, and I feel like we’re doomed with the third world pouring in by the millions. I don’t even recognize my neighborhood, anymore.

Is the neighborhood growing with new housing starts or are
the current renters moving out and new ones taking their apt?
Pretty stirring. PETA must hate it.
At one point, I think King’s Mountain, the Hessian were thoroughly defeated.
Hmmm...weren’t they Swiss, not Austrians?
I know about the Swiss guards of King Louis XVI, most of whom were massacred by the revolutionaries in 1792 defending the Tuileries (the royal palace).
The impressive memorial the Swiss erected to the memory of their fallen brothers, the “Lion of Lucerne”, is mentioned in Mark Twain’s book “A tramp abroad”.
Its creator, Danish neo-classicist Bertel Thorvaldsen, was a celebrated sculptor of the early 19th century.
Hah. Did not consider that. Enjoy it more now.
Time to go look at old history books again, so as to see what is in store for future.
History: Lather, rinse, repeat.
Am lazy. Have a reference non wikipedia?
