The Thermidorian Shift

In “Year 2, on the 9th of Thermidor”, things fell apart for the Revolutionary Elite (notice how they called themselves ‘The committee of Public Safety’, and rewrote the time and the entire calendar). They always tell you that they’re going to ‘keep you safe’. It’s possible we have a shift of these proportions in the wings: Nesta Webster’s book is one of the few that goes into the grisly details, and the Secret Societies that spearheaded the Revolution. Naturally, the end result was that they would be in power. Funny how it always works out that way…. Gary North said it best about Webster’s book: “This book is never mentioned in university history departments. This is because it is accurate. This book was published in 1919. It was well received. A young Henry Cabot Lodge wrote a favorable review of it. The book reveals the Illuminist and masonic background of the revolution. These topics have been politically incorrect since the end of World war II.” The “Migrant Crisis” seems to be made out of the same cloth. Regular people are thinking very different things than they were are recently as two years ago. A progressive liberal colleague mentioned … wait for it … voting for Trump in November. I’m not kidding. I talk about that and a few other examples in the podcast. The main focus of the podcast is that you can’t manage this “migrant crisis” in this manner without expecting some kind of backlash. Remember, as I’ve mentioned in class: “The path from abundance to starvation is riot.” This is the latest: I don’t know about you, but juxtaposing this with my daughter’s school activities getting curtailed, along with the Public Library hours getting cut, getting felt up and my stuff stolen by the TSA … this won’t end well.
