What About the French Revolution?
We are increasingly believers in "directed history" – history that's coordinated by a power elite intent on creating one-world government. We've written a good deal about the directed history we're seeing as regards Occupy Wall Street. We think that the movement has been set up to be divisive and ultimately to reinforce the power of the state. Out of chaos ... order.
That's probably the reason the movement has no agenda. The people at the top who are manipulating the movement know what they want to achieve and are doing so in order to trigger increased social discord. The ultimate aim, perhaps, is to enhance world government. We've explained the parallelism here: VIDEO: Parallels Between Early 20th Century and Present Are Scary.
But there are even more parallels. The Tea Party movement in America was organic to begin with. It was a bit like the American Revolution. But having observed the American Revolution, the power elite of the day (from what we can tell) fomented the French Revolution.
That's how long the modern conspiracy to set up world government has been going on, in our view – about 300 years, maybe since the founding of the Iluminati. The American Revolution, manipulated as it may have been, ultimately was in a sense anti-government and focused on individual freedom.
The French Revolution was set up deliberately to be "pro-government" – or pro-force at any rate. It was designed to defuse classical liberalism and freedom by proposing that government in the hands of an expert technocracy could "perfect" society and humankind.
Post revolution, between 1789 and September 1791, the French National Assembly reformed the ancien regime. They accomplished this with six basic statements, according to the website Modern European Intellectual History. Here are three of six. We've substituted the word "bankster" for "clergy" and "monarch" ...
•the abolition of special privileges of BANKSTERS through the legalization of equality (August 4, 1789)
•they subordinated BANKSTERS to the State. In November 1789, the National Assembly confiscated all BANKSTER property. And in early 1790, they passed the civil constitution, which reduced the power of the BANKSTERS who were now selected and paid by the State
•in September 1791, the National Assembly drew up a constitution, something it had been trying to do since June 1789. The constitution of 1791 specified such liberal ideas as [those that] limited BANKSTERS and [created] full equality before the law
"Populist" movements like the French Revolution rarely end well because they are expressions mostly of anger and envy. They are not rational. They eat their own. That's what happened then as the movement began with the idea of overthrowing the regime and ended up by trying to "perfect" society using the power of the state.
Here is a Wikipedia summary:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_revolution
The French Revolution (1789–1799), sometimes distinguished as the 'Great French Revolution' (La Grande Révolution), was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France and Europe. Theabsolute monarchy that had ruled France for centuries collapsed in three years. French society underwent an epic transformation as feudal, aristocratic and religious privileges evaporated under a sustained assault from radical left-wingpolitical groups, masses on the streets, and peasants in the countryside. Old ideas about tradition and hierarchy - of monarchy, aristocracy and religious authority - were abruptly overthrown by new Enlightenment principles of equality,citizenship and inalienable rights.
The French Revolution began in 1789 with the convocation of the Estates-General in May. The first year of the Revolution saw members of the Third Estate proclaiming the Tennis Court Oath in June, the assault on the Bastille in July, the passage of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen in August, and an epic march on Versailles that forced the royal court back to Paris in October. The next few years were dominated by tensions between variousliberal assemblies and a right-wing monarchy intent on thwarting major reforms.
A republic was proclaimed in September 1792 and King Louis XVI was executed the next year. External threats also played a dominant role in the development of the Revolution. The French Revolutionary Wars started in 1792 and ultimately featured spectacular French victories that facilitated the conquest of the Italian Peninsula, the Low Countries and most territories west of the Rhine – achievements that had defied previous French governments for centuries.
Internally, popular sentiments radicalized the Revolution significantly, culminating in the rise of Maximilien Robespierre and the Jacobins and virtual dictatorship by the Committee of Public Safety during the Reign of Terror from 1793 until 1794 during which between 16,000 and 40,000 people were killed. After the fall of the Jacobins and the execution of Robespierre, the Directory assumed control of the French state in 1795 and held power until 1799, when it was replaced by the Consulate under Napoleon Bonaparte.
After the Napoleonic Wars and ensuing rise and fall of Napoleon's First French Empire, a restoration of absolutist monarchy was followed by two further successful smaller revolutions (1830 and 1848). This meant the 19th century and process of modern France taking shape saw France again successively governed by a similar cycle of constitutional monarchy (1830-48), fragile republic (Second Republic) (1848-1852), and empire (Second Empire) (1852-1870). The modern era has unfolded in the shadow of the French Revolution. The growth of republics and liberal democracies, the spread of secularism, the development of modern ideologies and the invention of total war all mark their birth during the Revolution.
Below is a short video narrative of the French Revolution. It is simple and direct and written apparently by a high school student. We recommend it for the blunt arc of its narrative, even if it contains some factual flaws. Young people, not being so sophisticated their elders, sometimes see more clearly ...

The Circularity of Government Change:
Revolution = Civil War = Power Consolidation = Emergence of the New Tyrant = Revolution = Civil War = Power Consolidation = Emergence of the New Tyrant = Revolution = Civil War = Power Consolidation = Emergence of the New Tyrant...

Very spotty and not generally reliable. The "Third Estate" was not "peasants" (who actually had no representation at all). It was all who were not of the First and Second Estates (Nobility and Clergy). In political terms, this meant the middle classes. The famous "bourgeoisie".
Nice pictures, generally correct timeline, but way too short.

We will place a narrative within the text that reflects the correct story. Thanks.

The French Revolution, like the Communist Revolution, was not the concocton of the elites but of students with new found "knowledge" who set out to erase history and start mankind on a new society expedition. Like so many under 30's today, they thought they knew it all and that everyone who went before them were fools to be elimminated! They were exactly like those who proposed to "kill everyone over 30" in the 1960's!
Periodically in the world's ages of time, the young outnumber the rest of the community and they take to themselves the power to turn the tables on parents and any authority drawn from such positions, actual and symbolic. Revolts destroy everything and then when there is nothing, society goes back to its old ways to re-establish itself, to rebuild just as it was before, a productive group which knows full well what work, supervision and results should be. Those who hold the old ways in reserve during the bad times are always called the "elites", or prophets, as the case may require and those who have been wooed to the wrong side always try to put the blame for debacles on those wiser heads, it beats having to say Mea Culpa and admit their stupidity.
The French Revolution was an orgy of "black fashion" not unlike the popular culture we have today, with Vampires as heroes and the guillotine the symbol of "hope" instead of any religious object. The blade of the machined axe would elimminate all the bad people and the good would live therafter! What a crock of... use you own word there. It did not save the French people, they were not starving when it happened but they sure starved after it did! All the useless, the indigent were the audiences for the bloody spectacles much like all the "pacifists" today, who line up to buy the most grisley war games to play on their new gaming machines! There were no elites egging on those bloody horrors!
The video done by High Schoolers makes your staff comments sound foolish. The Kids get it but you don't! The laughing skull tells it all!

Nithsdale, please acknowledge you are aware of the Illuminati paperwork that was discovered fomenting the French Revolution. It was a huge scandal and resulted in the exposure of the then-secret Illumanti and caused the writing of several historical books. You are aware of this fact aren't you? Aren't you?

And who were the Illuminati but teachers and students of the occult, not actual leaders in anything until other students promoted them as a secret society, the kind of thing any sophomoric mind is drawn to? Good God, what the so called higher institutions of learning have foistered upon our world even today. Skulls and Bones Societies, Fraternities... what a laugh. You should all be aware of this nonsense after Animal House and the many movies it spawned. Belushi and company will be cited probably, in the future as "elites" who conspired to take over society and direct all our activity!

What do you think about Nesta Webster's book on the French Revolution? I have not read it all. But she has some interesting things to say indicating that the reality and 'received history' are not necessarily one and the same.
What to you think about Nesta Webster generally?
Reply from The Daily Bell
Here ... (We are more comfortable with the Illuminati angle.) ...
Nesta Helen Webster
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nesta Helen Webster (Mrs. Arthur Webster), (24 August 1876 – 16 May 1960) was a controversial historian, occultist, and author who revived conspiracy theories about the Illuminati. She argued that the secret society's members were occultists, plotting communist world domination, using the idea of a Jewish cabal, the Masons and Jesuits as a smokescreen According to her, their international subversion included the French Revolution, 1848 Revolution, the First World War, the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917.
In 1920, Webster was one of the contributing authors who wrote The Jewish Peril, a series of articles in the London Morning Post, centered on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. These articles were subsequently compiled and published in the same year, in book form under the title of The Cause of World Unrest. She was cited respectfully by Winston Churchill, "This movement among the Jews ... as Mrs. Webster, has so ably shown, [played] a definitely recognisable part in the tragedy of the French Revolution"
Webster claimed that the authenticity of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion was an open question. Her position on that, in 1924, "Contrary to the assertions of certain writers, I never affirmed my belief in the authenticity of the Protocols, but have always treated it as an entirely open question." (See Secret Societies and Subversive Movements (1924), p. 408).
In "World Revolution", Webster compares the Protocols to writings attributed to the Illuminati, asserting that they hold most similarity to the activities of Illuminized Freemasonry. (See World Revolution' p. 306)
At one time she was a member of the British Union of Fascists.

In a move similar to Hitler's action 150 years later, the Jacobins closed down all Masonic lodges in 1791, ironically fearful that Freemasonry's organizing power might be turned against them.

NSDAP was created by aristocratic Thule Society whose leader was killed during German Revolution 1919. It loox like if Skull&Bones create Social-labor party in Usaia. It is scary, ain't it?
Jacobin Iunius Frey aka Moses Dobrushka, nephew and follower of Jacob Frank- follower of Shabbatai Tzvi, get guilotine on his neck with Dante. Jacob Frank met one day in 1770's in Franfurt Weishaupt and Ruth's Child, Warburg and Schiff lived there as well.
To return to the scene in Paris. Robes Pierre now remains alone, and apparently master of the scenes; but this again was only appearance. Let us turn to the Life of Robes Pierre, by one G. Renier, who writes as though secrets were at his disposal. He writes:
"From April to July 1794 (the fall of Robes Pierre) the terror was at its height. It was never the dictatorship of a single man, least of all Robes Pierre. Some 20 men (the Committees of Public Safety and of General Security) shared the power."
To quote Mr. Renier again:
"On the 28th July, 1794," "Robes Pierre made a long speech before the Convention . . . a philippic against ultra-terrorists. . . uttering vague general accusations.
'I dare not name them at this moment and in this place. I cannot bring myself entirely to tear asunder the veil that covers this profound mystery of iniquity. But I can affirm most positively that among the authors of this plot are the agents of that system of corruption and extravagance, the most powerful of all the means invented by foreigners for the undoing of the Republic; I mean the impure apostles of atheism, and the immorality that is at its base'."
Mr Renier continues with satisfaction:
"Had he not spoken these words he might still have triumphed!"
In this smug sentence Mr Renier unwittingly dots the i's and crosses the t's, which Robes Pierre had left uncompleted. Robes Pierre's allusion to the "corrupting and secret foreigners" was getting altogether too near the mark; a little more and the full truth would be out.
At 2 a.m. that night Robes Pierre was shot in the jaw and early on the following day dragged to the guillotine.

And here they comes as John Cozy on globalresearch writes about power of supreme court without single PROTESTANT:

In 1775, a mysterious figure known only by the nickname the professor appeared to the flag committee headed by Benjamin Franklin. This man of European descent, recommended the flag of the British-East India company as the banner of the American colonies. The Union Jack, a horizontal striped-flag with the Union Jack logo,was the flag flown during the American Revolution, not the Betsy Ross as seen in the mel gibson Patriot.
The founding of the American Republic is intertwined with a mysterious figure only known as the 'Professor'. The Professor became the advisor, to Benjamin Franklin and the flag committee and recommended the 'Grand Union flag' as the banner for the American colonies warring against England. The Grand Union flag a horizontal striped red and white flag with a British Jack in the upper left corner was also the flag of the British East-India Company. The British East-India Company was at the time of the American Revolution controlled by the Jesuits and the afore-mentioned enigimatic figure was none other than Jesuit General Lorenzo Ricci. Two years earlier the Jesuit order was suppressed by Pope Clement XIV and General Ricci alleged died six months after the Pope was poisoned.

The people of 1780's France, for the most part, plodded along with their lives, the daily grind taking up their time and energy, much as it does today.
Until their crops failed and famine struck europe due to Laki.

The people turned to their King for help, nothing was forthcoming, he had wasted all the money, much the same as today.
What a difference it would have made if the Elite of their time would have been benevolent and saved some gold for the bad times.

This brings to mind a quotation (I previously mentioned it here I beleive) from a Southern officer in the Civil War - "The truth will never be known, and I have a great contempt for history."
In my readings I have found so much evidence that 'everything you know is wrong'... history is rightly called a 'story.' It is just so creepy living among the mind-controlled, who get so self-righteous (emotional) when their 'received wisdom' is questioned. They don't like the 'cognitive dissonance' or the implications and just, as per their 'training,' regard one as a 'conspiracy theorist' and reject the new information as the easiest way out.
I don't know a lot about it but from what I do know, this by DB seems to be the case -
"Nithsdale, please acknowledge you are aware of the Illuminati paperwork that was discovered fomenting the French Revolution. It was a huge scandal and resulted in the exposure of the then-secret Illumanti and caused the writing of several historical books. You are aware of this fact aren't you? Aren't you?"
The impression I have of Nesta Webster is that she was quite opinionated and emotional in her views (was she anti-Semitic? I believe so), but she did some good research and there was a good deal of truth in what she wrote - such as that THE FOOD CRISIS WAS LARGELY A CREATED ONE - WHEAT ETC. WAS DIVERTED FROM PARIS MARKETS, and that some of the street rabble were paid agents and grabbed people on the street and hauled them along to join their ranks, and that public opinion against the King and Queen was really not that strong - basically that elements behind the scenes (like, among the French aristocracy) worked to intensify existing dissatisfactions and bring about the French Revolution, and bring down the reigning King and Queen.
What has been happening with the Occupy Movements, and the 'revolutions' in other countries like Libya has made me think about the French Revolution. I recall recent well done videos documenting that the CIA has been educating people in these countries (having classes plus online info etc.)on how to organize and run a 'people's revolution', and bringing in manpower (like from Al CIA Duh) to do it.
The same ops and strategies are used over and over. What is so frustrating is to see people falling for it over and over, and to be able to do nothing but watch it happen.

The illuminati were germanic students of the occult. Such devotees are with us in almost every culture. Dr. Lilly made the practice of "something new from the stars, moons et al" a popular rage a hundred years before the French Revolution when he devised horoscopes and made a fortune, when back in England, selling daily ones for a penny each. Parliament raged that he was responsible for indolence, drunkeness, all the ills of society and passed laws agaist his "babies". An elitist, I think not. An opportunist, yes, certainly!
No "elite" was fomenting the French, those who love to take on society were! It is as simple as that. Every civilization has members who do not wish to be members and they work heaven and hell to prove they are right and everyone else is wrong and they can bring down civilizations. History always tries to find out who did the heinous deed and fixates on anyone who claims to be the one in charge. The whole poliical bio industry in the US would have you believe every President, Secretary of State were all Svengalis. Get a sense of humor. You can think better then!
