Boot Cites Cromwell’s Military Coup In Call To Oust Trump
The Federalist ^ | August 23, 2018 | David Marcus

Posted on 08/23/2018 12:13:30 PM PDT by GuavaCheesePuff

In Thursday’s Washington Post, columnist Max Boot provides a call to arms for those who seek to oust the sitting president of the United States. His column claims that the presidency has now been shown to be illegitimate because of this week’s allegations and that Congress should have already acted on impeachment. None of this is surprising, Trump’s has been the photo on Boot’s dartboard for some time now, but in his zesty finale, Boot may have revealed a bit too much.

He writes:

The voters of the United States must now say to this Congress what Oliver Cromwell said to the Rump Parliament in 1653: ‘Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government. … Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance. … Go, get you out! Make haste! … In the name of God, go!’

Cromwell died of natural causes. Once Charles II reclaimed the throne he was bent on revenge of those who had toppled his father. Cromwell’s body was disinterred, hung, drawn and quartered, and his head placed on a pike on London Bridge as a message to all would-be traitors.

Monty Python taught me that “the most interesting about King Charles I” was that he was 5’6” at the beginning of his reign on 27 March 1625 and only 4’8” at the end of his reign.

"Boot needs a boot up his ass."

You'd have to pull his head out first.

Actually, Cromwell was beheaded as well. But this happened after the Stuart son of Charles I was invited back to the throne when Cromwell was exhumed along with the remains of Robert Blake, John Bradshaw and Henry Ireton who were hanging in chains at Tyburn before being decapitated.

Boot is an idiot if he doesn't understand the irony of his statement. Cromwell & cohorts were representing the English Parliment and people whereas Boot and Charles I are representing the Deep State elite.

Boot and Kristol are two dolts who nobody cares about - but who nonetheless have public platforms because they provide propaganda services for the Deep state

You are all correct. Cromwell did die of natural. causes AND was beheaded too.
That’s right, he is one of only a few people who was executed posthumously.

—————

Cromwell’s son succeeded him in ruling as Lord Protector, but did not last long, and resigned in 1659. The monarchy was then restored under the rule of Charles II. It was this king who demanded that Cromwell be punished for his crimes of high treason and regicide. And so Cromwell’s body was exhumed, along with John Bradshaw, President of the High Court of Justice for the trial of King Charles I and Henry Ireton, Cromwell’s son-in-law and general in the Parliamentary army during the English Civil War, to be posthumously killed. The date of the execution was chosen as it was the anniversary of King Charles I own death, 12 years earlier.

The bodies were hung and then beheaded at sunset and thrown into an unmarked pit. The heads were put on a spike at Westminster Hall, where they stayed on display for more than 20 years. The heads only came down because a storm broke the spike and sent the heads tumbling down.

Actually, he was beheaded as well as drawn and quartered. Happened many years after his death, though. True.

Boot is absolutely right about that quote! But it should obviously be applied to the conniving plotters, the cabal of treasonous seditionists, the permanent ruling class, the usurpers, the architects of the coup, and the deep state skunks who all think they are the betters of honest Americans who miraculously elected President Trump in a crooked and rigged election.

I believe Cromwell was beheaded.


Oliver Cromwell was beheaded—posthumously. After the Restoration, Charles II had those who had passed sentence on his father, Charles I, sentenced for treason. Those who had died in the meantime were not spared. Cromwell’s body was dug up, beheaded and his head displayed on London Bridge on a spike. After a while, some one fetched the head and hid it. A few years ago (after 100s of years and no likely punishment for harboring a fugitive) it was reburied at Cambridge.

Until now, Max Boot was probably best known for this infamous piece:

The Case for American Empire
https://www.weeklystandard.com/max-boot/the-case-for-american-empire

Boot, Kristol, and the other NTers have been aligned with this Trotskyite garbage for a long time.

How does a lunatic like Max Boot get to advise the US Government?
Saturday, 14 October 2017

We had never actually heard of Mr. Boot until this summer when he appeared on Tucker Carlson, and had the most extraordinary meltdown on that show, with both him and Carlson hurling insults at each other, and Carlson eventually getting the better of him, as Mr. Boot gradually lost his composure.

Mr. Boot is a terrifying example of what passes for a foreign policy expert in the US. He has a full-time job at the Council on Foreign Relations to push psychopathic neocon ideas that each US administration follows to the tee. It is a sad commentary on our times that men like this have any influence at all in the US.
