The curtailment of Louis XVI's power (the one married to Marie Antoinette) was begun by the middle classes and the merchants, instigated and led by the king's brother, the Duke of Orleans, who hoped to have the king deposed so he could take over the throne.<br /><br />When the chaos got out of hand, the common, uneducated, and violent masses having risen up and taken over, the instigators of the Revolution all fled and left France to its fate, which was horrible. Nobody's head was safe on their shoulders, be they noble, rich, poor or peasant. Scores of thousands were guillotined. Then after hundreds of thousands of deaths, Napoleon took over as dictator, later proclaiming himself Emperor. His wars of conquest cost millions of lives, including well over a million Frenchmen.<br /><br />After Napoleon was finally defeated and France was utterly crushed by the Russians, Austrians, and British, twenty-five years and miilons of deaths later, the monarchy was restored under the Duke of Orleans, reigning from 1815-1825 as Louis XVIII, the last king's dead little son having been counted as Louis XVII.<br /><br />So in the end, the man who, for personal ambition and greed, had started the whole disastrous catastrophe, got what he wanted - to be king.<br /><br />No doubt he slept exceedingly well on his feather mattress in his golden bed, his dreams never being disturbed for one second by the many millions of deaths it had taken, including those of his brother and all his brother's family, to elevate his title from Duke of Orleans to King.<br /><br />So the nature of greed always has been, and so it always will be. Here, there and everywhere. The wicked prosper, because we let them.<br /><br />Because we let them. <br /><br />Because we let them. <br /><br />Only because.... we let them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-30192189112951602442009-11-26T00:01:50.163-07:002009-11-26T00:01:50.163-07:00Aononymous @ 8:53 am,

It is how Gandhi got the British to leave India, and in a few other instances political non-violence has worked. <br /><br />But in the vast majority of cases, non-violence rolls right off the backs of the oppressors. Turn your other cheek and it will just get smacked. <br /><br />Pol Pot in Cambodia, Stalin in the Ukraine and Russia, Mao in China, Sani Abacha in Nigeria, Mobutu in Zaire, Marcos in the Philippines, all these killed millions of their own people who only wanted to mind their own business and live in peace. <br /><br />And even though it has not happened here yet to us, our own governments down through the years have killed millions of people in OTHER countries who had no quarrel with us and only wanted to live in peace. Usually it was becaue they had something our corporations wanted and did not want to pay the going rate for - sugar, cocoa, coffee, oil, gold, bauxite, minerals, whatever. Usually, people do not like being robbed, so our government has always used violence when their corporate friends were robbing the people of other countries, to ensure their compliance.<br /><br />Now they are robbing us. They always have, but these days their greed knows no limits. (Partly because everybody always turns the other cheek. They are not impressed.) Before too many more years, we will see tens of milllions around the world and even here dying of hunger so our CEO's can get ten-twenty-thirty-million-dollar bonuses.<br /><br />Dying meekly of avoidable hunger or disease is very non-violent and noble. But the hearts that are moved thereby are usually not those of the people responsible.<br /><br />God bless you for your peaceful spirit. One hopes you can sustain it when your wife or children are killed by bad prescription drugs or drafted to murder little brown people or dying from hunger or freezing to death under a bridge in the winter. After all, those politicians and businessmen responsible for your dead children ARE children of God themselves.<br /><br />Right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-85596666825176389882009-11-25T09:53:40.963-07:002009-11-25T09:53:40.963-07:00People that cheer on chaos, looting and general ma...People that cheer on chaos, looting and general mayhem - would do well to read books/stories of people who have lived through similar circumstances. For example those who have lived through the liquadation of farms in Zimbabwe, the crisis in Argentina, the reign of terror under the Shining Path in Peru. <br />These stories make abundantly clear that government will at all cost preserve itself and its servants while the rest of us are left to the wolves. None of these periods were nirvana nor was the resistance by the "peasants" of any use. Instead propogation of the Gospel, fostering a sense of community with those of like mind, practicing peace with those around. All of these measures were much more practical than looting or destruction. Violence if you can call it that was best reserved, according to the stories of those who lived through these periods, for those thieves who chose to steal one's personal property or cause harm to one's personal life or to the life of those whom they loved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-84422418907693416792009-11-25T00:18:07.520-07:002009-11-25T00:18:07.520-07:00As much as I can see violence as being how it will...As much as I can see violence as being how it will all end I can honestly say that it isn't something I would wish upon anyone. Having said that it is important to revisit history and see that even our own nation was born out of violence and not by mere voting or a casual discussion over afternoon tea and biscuits. The message was driven home by copious amounts of flying lead. Same for elsewhere in the world whether by forces fighting for independence or imperial legions on orders from their "leaders". This country has spewed enough shrapnel on people who never deserved such a thing with nary a tear shed by the common man in the street because it was out of sight out of mind. I don't blame the man in the street for all this. It's enough to keep ones head above the waters much less keep track of the latest evil escapades the elite roll our way. As soon as we come to grips with how we're being bamboozled they set up another straw man to fall and yank the nations chain once more. Left and right, up and down, round and round, this way and that. Its all designed to keep you off kilter and poorer with every passing year. When folks say that "violence only plays into their hands"... I have to say that if thats so then why in the world was there ever a revolution of 1776 to begin with? It's absurd. I've also heard the argument that the fight will last "longer than our lifetime"... Really? Can someone please ressurrect George Washington, Jefferson and the rest of them and see if they ever said such nonsense. THAT is the very propaganda, the very spirit of this age, rambling on. It's that sort of mindset that really doesn't mind the velvet covered chains.MoThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13996714804361467430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-3427990322162181722009-11-24T23:27:22.036-07:002009-11-24T23:27:22.036-07:00Sic Semper -- Without addressing the merits of the...Sic Semper -- Without addressing the merits of the comments under discussion, I'd like to point out thatI'm working on a fairly major piece about <i>agents provocateur</i>....William N.

Chaos, mayhem and riot will cause their property values to decline, their businesses to go bankrupt, their banks to fail, and their wives and children to quake in fear behind barred gates, and to be unable to go out and play tennis or golf or ride the horses. <br /><br />Yachts sink very easily. Rolls-Royces and Maseratis burn equally easily. Private planes at little airports make wonderful bonfires. <br /><br />And then there are the cattle - a thousand pounds of meat just walking around without any padlock or key. Not to forget their horses - the French eat horses, so why not hungry Americans? A million-dollar racehorse makes good steaks. So do champion Rotweilers. Those taste just like chicken.<br /><br />And then the shops - ah, the shops! Perhaps Beulah would like a diamond necklace? Maybe Troy would like a 60" plasma TV? Who needs money? Money is SO old-fashioned. All those groceries just sitting there all night on the shelves....<br /><br />What will they do? Have their goons shoot everybody? Then who would be left to shine their shoes and wash their windows? Who would drive their cars and work in their sweatshops? Who would tend their gardens and mind their livestock?<br />They think they are indispensable. No, it is we who are indispensable. <br /><br />The man who has nothing, and thus has nothing to lose, and has given up aspiring to anything, is strong. The man who wants much, and has much to lose, is weak.<br /><br />That is why this has not yet happened. Ordinary Americans still have much to lose. They-whose-shit-does-not-stink know that, and fear the day when ordinary Americans have lost everything. You think they want the economy to improve because they care a rat's ass about YOU? Oh no, they know what is coming down the road, and care only about themselves.<br /><br />Finally, there are a lot more of us than there are of them.<br /><br />A small cloud now sits on the horizon.

Last Saturday I was riding my bike in a very upper-middle-class neighborhood ( I am a 62-year-old female) when I was run into and knocked down by an adolescent male on his bike. Both bikes and the kid fell on me. He was at fault. I was quite banged up and so was my bike. The kid's father and brother were riding with him. The father became very defensive and eventually abusive and threatened to strike me. This because I asked for information to contact him if I needed to. He rushed his sons away as I called him a coward. I then called the police and I rue the moment. A young girl cop arrived on the scene who treated me like I was the culprit. She asked for my driver's license, asked my SS number. Took a picture of my damaged finger and tried to take a picture of my face. I refused that and she acted accusatory because I refused. She asked me to fill out a report but I threw it away.

Now, it seems that on the contrary, they are just becoming more blatant in their thefts and shakedowns of the long-suffering public. <br /><br />Any excuse will do: they can approach you, ask for ID, ask to search your car or your pockets, and if you refuse they arrest you, hit you on the head with a nightstick, accuse you of resisting arrest, and steal your car. They can break down your door and storm in, shooting anyone who does not drop to the floor. Even total meek compliance does not guarantee you won't be Tasered, just as a precaution to make sure you don't even think of talking back to them. If they find any significant amount of money, they steal that too on suspicion of it being the proceeds of crime. White or black, nobody is immune to their depredations any longer. <br /><br />There is no loger any difference between criminals and "law enforcement". How long will we put up with this? When will we have to start protecting ourselves from all of these rival extortionist gangs - the criminal gangs and the police gangs?<br /><br />They claim to be afraid of the public. If so, they must have a guilty conscience. The mere fact that they continue to get away with this while the public does not resort to flame-throwers, sniper rifles and IED roadside bombs against them shows conclusively that 99.9% of the public are law-abiding, even when unbearably provoked.Tom Joadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-54803556562199180002009-11-22T07:43:59.989-07:002009-11-22T07:43:59.989-07:00http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/cup_detail.taf...http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/cup_detail.taf?ti_id=4063&_userreference=114544158055529F32D3D3C03C40ED90E0<br /><br />Will, a book above has a world of information on this topic.
