Anybody else watch The French Revolution on the History Channel this evening? It was pretty interesting. Especially after King Louis and Marie Antoinette were beheaded, then The Terror began. That wasn't bad enough, so then the Great Terror began. The revolutionaries arrested and executed anybody that they had the tiniest suspicion of not being completely, totally and thoroughly supportive of the revolution.

The Guillotine 1792 - 1977
Bonaparte and Islam

Islam and Islamic History in Arabia and The Middle East

[ValerieUSA]

Sounds fascinating, but I don't get the history channel.

[ValerieUSA]

If I remember correctly, Robespierre, the primary proponent of guillotine usage as "humane," chose to shoot himself in the head rather than face it... however, he survived the suicide attempt, and was later beheaded.

[.38sw]

That's correct. Robespierre attempted suicide and failed, and was later beheaded. His execution ended the Great Terror. It really was an interesting program. I didn't know much about the French Revolution.

IOW, Anyone capable of independent thought. The french have not recovered to this day.

[.38sw]

That about sums it up, doesn't it?

[null and void]

Yup. They liked having the Germans in charge. That way none of the french had to stick their necks out...

[.38sw]

And they STILL don't like to stick their necks out. There was one commentator on the program who was the author of "In Defense of Marxism". I don't remember his name, but that certainly caught my attention. I don't even remember what he had to say about the revolution, he wasn't one of the main "experts" they had on, but the title of his book caught my eye. Yikes.

[null and void]

Sad, aint it?

[.38sw]

Given part of the definition of Marxism, it's not surprising, I guess, that they had that author on. From Merriam Webster: ...dictatorship of the proletariat until the establishment of a classless society. The revolutionaries were certainly working toward an egalitarian society, and toppling the nobility.

thanks Westy,

Love that eagle on a stump.

Obituary of Nesta Webster (1876 Aug 24-1960 May 16) in the London Times

SECRET SOCIETIES AND THE FRENCH REVOLUTION “ The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design. Through all the fire and smoke we perceive the evidence of calculating organisation. The managers remain studiously concealed and masked ; but there is no doubt about their presence from the first.”

Lord Acton : “ Lectures on the French Revolution,” p. 97.
In the opening of the French Rev. a Dr and his daughter are taking a buggy ride through the country side with abundance of farmland while in the city the Marxist are preaching dispair (a lie)! SOUND FAMILAR?

The strange career of Nesta H. Webster

She seems anit-semtic but I am sure had she lived today she would change those words to humanist or liberal mind set!

Should you ever read her work every time you see the name Jew change it to folks like (Michael Newdow,all the far lefty who are anit-God) everythings she writes will fall into place.

Socialism and humanism always cause economic and moral bankruptcy.

These two interlocking philosophical points of view have gradually replaced the Founders' self-evident truths with lies designed to deceive and enslave the masses. The lies of humanism started in earnest after the so-called "monkey trials" of 1925, which replaced the teaching of creation with the theory of evolution. This erroneous theory was taught as fact and became the springboard upon which the lies of humanism were based.

Secular Humanism ... is R. Lester Mondale, the brother of Walter Mondale a presidential ... seven of the fifteen doctrines of Humanism as listed in the Humanist Manifesto I. In ...

Watched it, 38. Lots of lessons there.

EAGLES. . . EAGLES EVERYWHERE!
The Skagit Valley in northwestern Washington is
fast-food fish heaven (i.e. spawned out salmon) for
bald eagles who come here by the hundreds in mid
January through February. The annual eagle gathering
along the upper Skagit River, primarily from Concrete
to Marblemount, is one of the two largest in the U.S.
outside Alaska. And with lots of RV and county and
state parks open year round in the area, the annual
fly-in is a great reason to spend a couple of days in
the vicinity, binoculars and cameras in hand. Concrete-
Rockport-Marblemount communities host the 19th
annual Upper Skagit Bald Eagle Festival February 5-6.

.....Westy....

[westmex]

What ?? .. no dinner tonight??

They can't be eating all the time...Have to see what's going on once in awhile...LOL...

CHRISTIANS & MUSLIMS BRAWL
An emotional holy war broke out yesterday on the streets of Jersey City, where Muslims and Christians clashed and lobbed insults at the funeral for a devout family of Egyptian immigrants who may have been slain for their religious beliefs.

[Sundog]

Thank you Westy,

I shall keep that location and date in mind.

I take it these are photos you have collected.

I went up the Skagit valley in the summertime when
I lived there, but not the winter. We get a fair
number of Bald and Brown eagles in Utah, but not
concentrated like that.

Thanks.

Flight 800 might become an obsession for me after reading this book. It presents the official report as well as the in depth problem with the hundreds of witnesses that claim to have seen a streak like a missile rise up and hit the plain as it exploded off of Long Island.

I'm going to start finding some other info out. Hard to believe that it might be a cover up, I'm not much of a foil hat wearer, but I could get mine on for this from what I've read.
