"If you want to get a glimpse of America in the near future, the first thing you must do is look to the past. Specifically, look to the last phases of the French Revolution.
The Reign of Terror, in which the radical Jacobins took over control of France, has a direct analogy to the present situation in the federal government.
Even better for America, however, is what happened afterwards.
But first things first.
With France in the midst of civil war, Danton, Marat, and Robespierre and his crew established a tyranny that filtered down to even the smallest towns.
- The deposed monarchy was given a sham trial (read: impeachment of a former President) and executed.
- The Terror instituted mass conscription,
- confiscation of grain from the farmers (read: oil),
- set price controls on essential goods and wages (read: minimum wage),
- de-Christianized the country (read: well, that one’s obvious),
- arrests via the “Law of Suspects” of all opponents of the Revolution (read: the enemies list of former Trump employees),
- and in the final irony, established a national religion called (I kid you not) Cult of the Supreme Being and that Supreme Being allegedly was “Reason” (read: climate change).
That’s the chilling analogy.
But there’s more, and here’s where things get interesting.
The so-called “Committee of Public Safety” (read: The Squad) suspended the right to a trial and representation, and ordered wholesale slaughter.
More than 17,000 people died by guillotine, and another 10,000 died in prison...Read all.
