Why, it was like reading about France and the French, before the ever memorable and blessed Revolution, which swept a thousand years of such villainy away in one swift tidal-wave of blood — one: a settlement of that hoary debt in the proportion of half a drop of blood for each hogshead of it that had been pressed by slow tortures out of that people in the weary stretch of ten centuries of wrong and shame and misery the like of which was not to be mated but in hell. There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror — that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

Quote of the day, 18 August: St. John Paul II
This morning, dear brothers and sisters, our thoughts turn to the sixty-four French priests who died with hundreds of others aboard the Rochefort prison ships. As Saint Paul urged Timothy, they “fought the good fight of the faith” (1 Tim 6:12). They endured a long Calvary because they remained faithful to their faith and to the Church. They died because, to the very end, they steadfastly affirmed their close communion with Pope Pius VI.
In their profound isolation, they sought above all to maintain a spirit of prayer. Tormented by hunger and thirst (cf. Lk 16:23), they spoke no word of hatred against their persecutors. Little by little, they became conformed to the sacrifice of Christ that they celebrated by virtue of their ordination. They now stand before us as a living sign of the power of Christ at work in human weakness.
In the depths of their distress, they never lost their capacity to forgive. The unity of the faith and the unity of their country mattered to them more than anything else. We may therefore joyfully repeat the words of Sacred Scripture: the souls of these righteous men are in the hand of God. “They seemed to have perished. Their departure was thought to be a disaster, but they are at peace” (Wis 3:2-3).
Saint John Paul II

>> [ #UnitedStates ] is dead. When the #SocialSecurity checks stop flowing, the political scum will face millions of angry seniors with nothing to lose, #Republicans, #Democrats, and #independents.
I would limit Democrats to #EstablishmentDemocrats, but when things get ugly, who's paying attention to nuances?
This and food inflation in particular, along with #Trump's corruption and #venal offices, is setting up to be a rerun of the #BreadRiots that sparked the #FrenchRevolution.

The rule of villains like Jean-Paul Marat is what happens when politicians are not held to be accountable ‘for what they have said, written or done in the exercise of their functions as representatives.’

Nooo, I don't want to go to the job trainer tomorrow, I want to stay up untill late... (but I'll be sleepy .__.) Anyway, I've been lately reading Jean Starobinski's book "1789. The emblems of reason". It does a sort of cultural, philosophical analysis of #FrenchRevolution, based on art. It works with a theme of the dark reverse of reason working there, with de Sade or #Enlightenment's gothic fiction. Starobinski's interpretations and writing are so engrossing. *__*

“Don't be taken in when they paternally pat you on the shoulder and say that there's no inequality worth speaking of and no more reason to fight because if you believe them they will be completely in charge in their marble homes and granite banks from which they rob the people of the world under the pretence of bringing them culture. Watch out, for as soon as it pleases them they'll send you out to protect their gold in wars whose weapons, rapidly developed by servile scientists, will become more and more deadly until they can with a flick of the finger tear a million of you to pieces...“
Jean-Paul Marat, political theorist and visionary.

Good news everyone! It's #Bastille Day!
July 14 is the day Parisians stormed the Bastille fortress and prison in 1789, helping spark the #FrenchRevolution that overthrew the monarchy and sent King Louis XVI and his queen Marie-Antoinette to the #guillotine.
Oh guillotines...the gift that keeps on giving...
This year's celebrations includes #Ukraine and troops from the "Coalition of the Willing", which will probably soon replace #NATO.
Ukrainian troops will march along the cobblestoned avenue, and Ukrainian co-pilots trained in #France will fly two Mirage 2000B fighter jets alongside French air force pilots.
The parade will open with around 500 troops from the coalition of countries that have pledged to help with Ukraine’s post-war security.
In the skies, aircraft from #Germany, the #UK, #Croatia, #Poland, #Denmark, #Greece, #Sweden, #Norway, #Spain and #Italy will take part.
You can watch it (live right now!)
