The New Jacobin Elite	| Print |

The Socialist Party of Great Britain is celebrating the reissuing of Peter Taaffe’s book, The Masses Arise: The Great French Revolution 1789 -1815. “Its republication by Socialist Publications, in time for the 220th anniversary of this great event in July 2009, is extremely timely,” says the party’s website.

A different page on the party’s site promoting the same book instructs readers: “An understanding of the French Revolution remains crucial for all revolutionaries. Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky studied it intensely to gain an understanding of the dynamics of revolutions.” As have virtually all other modern communist revolutionaries and self-styled “liberators” of “the people.” The well-known blood-drenched trails, for example, of Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai in China, Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam, and Pol Pot in Cambodia, all sprang from the Jacobin tradition, with many of these leaders and their privileged comrades imbibing deeply of the intoxicating elixir of revolution at the Sorbonne and other French universities.

The spirit of the French Revolution continues to stalk our planet as virulently as ever, an ideological plague that refuses to die and continues to be transmitted from one generation to another.  

As in 1789, the most influential Jacobins of today can be found among the wealthiest and most privileged echelons of our society. While Jacobins such as Robespierre, Danton, Marat, Hebert, Desmoulins, St. Just, Santerre, Sieyes, Tinville, et al., were the public faces of the revolution, it was the rich and super-rich malcontents in the shadows who provided the funding that made the overthrow of the ancient regime possible. Foremost among these was Louis Phillipe II, the fabulously wealthy and infamously degenerate Duc d’Orleans, who hated King Louis XVI (his cousin) and hated even more Queen consort Marie Antoinette (for rebuffing his sexual advances and causing his banishment from court). Joining him were other titled men of considerable pelf (and, usually, libertine habits), to wit: the Duc de Biron, the Marquis de Sillery, the Vicomte de Noailles, the Baron “Anacharsis” de Cloots, the Comte de Mirabeau, the Marquis de St. Huruge, the Vicomte de Segur, and the infamously perverse Marquis de Sade (from whom we derive the adjective “sadistic”).

From the Duc d’Orleans’ Palais Royal these Orleaniste Jacobins unleashed their agents to terrorize, de-Christianize, and depopulate France, in the name of “reason” and the creation of a “Republic of Virtue” based on “Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity.” Christianity was outlawed and churches were closed and/or desecrated; crucifixes were trampled on; Catholic Mass was forbidden; priests and nuns were butchered, exiled, or forced to apostatize. More than 300,000 people, including many women and children, were slaughtered — by guillotine, mass drownings, “fusillades,” and other inventive means of extermination. But this was barely a start; the Jacobins had plans to kill between eight and eighteen million more (one-third to two-thirds of the nation’s human population) as part of their green plan to depopulate France and turn its people from the Christian worship of the Creator God to the pagan New Age worship of Creation. Thus were the orgies of bloodletting accompanied by appeals to the Jacobins’ new environmental theology: “Perish forever the memory of the priests! Perish forever Christian superstition! Long live the sublime religion of Nature!”

The Duc d’Orleans and his revolutionary aristocrats have their counterparts today. “Some of America’s leading billionaires have met secretly to consider how their wealth could be used to slow the growth of the world’s population,” reported the Sunday Times of London on May 24. This gathering of super-rich “philanthropists,” which was not mentioned in any of the major U.S. media, gathered on May 5 at the Manhattan home of Sir Paul Nurse, a British Nobel prize-winning biochemist and president of private Rockefeller University, for “a summit convened on the initiative of Bill Gates, the Microsoft co-founder.” And the purpose of this distinguished gathering? To discuss “joining forces to overcome political and religious obstacles to change.”

In a stroke of hubris that would cheer Robespierre, the self-anointed “Voice of Virtue,” the new Jacobins have dubbed their exclusive association, “The Good Club.” Who are its members? The Times reports: “Described as the Good Club by one insider it included David Rockefeller Jr, the patriarch of America’s wealthiest dynasty, Warren Buffett and George Soros, the financiers, Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York, and the media moguls Ted Turner and Oprah Winfrey.”

These are the folks who have been the leading private financiers of the global depopulation and de-Christianization campaigns, the promoters of abortion, homosexuality, and New Age environmentalism. And in Barack Hussein Obama they have found their Camille Desmoulins, a handsome young lawyer with oratorical skills to push their agenda — all the while declaiming against the rich and powerful.

Mr. Jasper summarizes the activities of the original Jacobins, who brought about and reveled in the attrocities of the French Revolution in order to give us a sense of the depravity of those he calls the new Jacobins.

The following, imho, is the money quote in this report.

These are the folks [including Bill Gates, David Rockefeller Jr., Warren Buffett, George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, Ted Turner and Oprah Winfrey] who have been the leading private financiers [and influence peddlers] of the global depopulation and de-Christianization campaigns, the promoters of abortion, homosexuality, and New Age environmentalism. And in Barack Hussein Obama they have found their Camille Desmoulins, a handsome young lawyer with oratorical skills to push their agenda — all the while declaiming against the rich and powerful.

I, your too often absent chronicler of death cultists, have no doubt that these self-deifying plutocrats are our leading cultivators of death worship. Death culters have always been hostile to Judeo-Christian ethics, but not until this administration came to power will they have felt themselves so free to hate American Christians and Jews.

When you see practicing Christians and Jews demonized and targeted for hate crimes in the coming days, remember this post!

[NaughtiusMaximus]

BTTT Ping!

[Avoiding_Sulla]

Never before have the death cultists been so bold!

A few days ago Eternal Vigilance posted a quote by Margaret Sanger wherein she said that it wouldn’t be good for the Negro race to know that they were targeted for depopulation.

Hah! How many OTHER groups do you now think she and those who followed her wanted to keep in the dark whitey?

[justa-hairyape]

Deja Vu all over again.

AIP Constitution and Platform

Constitution

As free citizens of the United States and founders of America’s Independent Party, we stand in agreement with the founders of our American Republic. Following their example, we declare to the world that our first governmental premise is the self-evident truth that our rights to life, liberty and private property come from our Creator God and are therefore unalienable.

The American revolutionary battle cry was NO KING BUT JESUS!

This, of course, is what differentiated them from the godless French revolutionaries - and why our republic has lasted more than two centuries, while theirs led them under the dominance of a dictator.

[Dumb_Ox]

Claes G. Ryn’s _America the Virtuous_ has also considered the descendants of Jacobinism. But some people won’t like how he categorizes the Jacobins.

[EternalVigilance]

A wonderful piece. Thanks for pinging me to it!

[Avoiding_Sulla]

I would imagine that none of these new Jacobins has sent AIP any funds that you know of. When AIP becomes a threat to the established order, they will then find ways to do so. For in such a manner have they attempted to undermine all earthly institutions, and succeeded to do so at very many, including far too many religious orders. Pray for strength.

ZINGGG! -- Link busted! Referenced webpage at "The American Thinker" now 404 compliant!

Whoa!

[lentulusgracchus]

This, of course, is what differentiated them from the godless French revolutionaries ....

The movers of America's revolution were upper-middle-class and churched people, accustomed to work or supervision.

The movers of the French revolution were plutocratic, selfish, and morally decadent.

Different ingredients, different results.

[EternalVigilance]

I’m pretty sure that’s pretty much what I said, in a different way.

God was the foundation for everything the Americans did. He wasn’t for the French. They built their house on the shifting sand of human “wisdom,” wqhich of course isn’t wisdom at all. It just has the appearance of being so to those who don’t know God.

Unfortunately, our foundation is being steadily eroded. That’s why the building is beginning to sag, and cracks are appearing in the structure.

The danger is that the collapse will come before we have the opportunity to shore up the foundations. If it does, God help the inhabitants.

[wastoute]

John Adams had it right when he said, "I know not what to make of a nation of 40 million atheists." He was appalled by the French and their absolute lack of morals.

Let us then keep in mind what eventually hapened to Robespierre, Danton, Marat etc.

"A bas les aristos!"

[seoul62]

Oh my, I just saw the Movie: Danton, with Gerard Depardieu and we all know how that ended. I encourage everyone to see the movie: Danton./Just Asking - seoul62......

[sergeantdave]

As the elites ignore law, steal our wealth and plot to destroy our culture, what makes then think they will escape retribution and justice at the hands of a mob?

Life rarely ends well for those who mock God and his creation.

Should the guillotine roll down Pennsylvania Avenue, nobody will be safe.

[headsonpikes]

There is a slim form of consolation in the knowledge that the Jacobins themselves also ended up “liquidated”.

After all, the celebration of murder has no obvious rational conclusion.

The socialism of the grave awaits us all.

[bert]

The fallacy in the piece is the equating of Christian ways with the Roman Catholic Church of 18 th century France. The church was a corrupt abomination that in league with the nobility stifled life.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Not only is it still the rich who meet in such places as The Bilderburg but it is the modern descendents of the Jacobins (They changed their name a couple of times) who are destroying America in order to fold it into their World government.

It’s all about wealth and power.

[RoadTest]

It’s true they are killing off blacks by abortion. They also plan to kill the old folks, the Jews and the Christians. Then they’ll go after anybody else who is in their way.

[RoadTest]

“The” (Roman Catholic) “church was a corrupt abomination that in league with the nobility stifled life.”

You are right. It has always been so and still is.

[wintertime]

The church was a corrupt abomination that in league with the nobility stifled life.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Far too many CINO “leaders” ( Protestant and Catholic) are in league with the devil today.

[Avoiding_Sulla]

Only the link in the article title is messed up. The FR link to the article is still good.

Here it is again.

Yes, Adams did not fit in well in Paris, and left it to Franklin who — ahem — did.

Adams was much more comfortable and productive serving his time during the revolution as ambassador to the Dutch.

[Avoiding_Sulla]

...that is during OUR revolution (not the French).

[Clemenza]

Although the worst violence of the French revolution was committed by the urban lower middle class. I remember one of the mobs being led by a blacksmith who cornered a “counterrevolutionary,” and ripped his heart out of his chest and took a bite of it. Must of inspired Spielberg in Temple of Doom.

[Clemenza]

The church was a corrupt abomination that in league with the nobility stifled life.

It varied from country to country, but don't ever buy the fiction that the Church was always on the side of the common people. In lands where residual feudalism reigned (southern Italy and Spain) the Church was the largest landowner in a land where most were tenants. There is a good reason why anti-clerical violence in the Spanish Civil War was strongest in Andalusia. You didn't need "communist agitators" in THAT region to stir the peasants up against the Church.

[Tribune7]

Bringing back idolatry in the name of reason.

[Tribune7]

A scary, almost prophetic, book written in 1908.

[editor-surveyor]

William Jasper’s writings have certainly been completely vindicated by events of the past ten years. - The Obama presidency seems determined to convince us that Jasper is a prophet of God.

[editor-surveyor]

"Adams was much more comfortable and productive serving his time during the revolution as ambassador to the Dutch."

Do you think he'd notice much difference now?

[Avoiding_Sulla]

LMAO (bitterly)

[Avoiding_Sulla]

Bringing back idolatry in the name of reason.

Yes, looking at these globalists meeting to reduce world population, they are specifically looking to return to human sacrifice.

How many Christians and Jews recognize that is exactly the sort of elite thinking that Abraham began defeating by his participation with Isaac as described in Genesis 22?

The God of Creation asked Abe to formally bring Isaac up to the place of sacrifice so that He could CLEARLY say "THIS IS NOT NEEDED! THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANT! YOU WERE CORRECT TO TELL ISAAC TO HAVE FAITH THAT *I* WOULD PROVIDE"

Haters of humanity have been working ever since to destroy that realization (and all human advances due to it) in every way imaginable.

[TopQuark]

“It’s all about wealth and power”

You appear to overlook that all these people already have wealth and power. It’s something deeper. Perhaps, a combination of (i) guilt for their good fortune and (ii) confidence, stemming from their success, that they KNOW how to help us little, blind people.

[RoadTest]

““It’s all about wealth and power”

You appear to overlook that all these people already have wealth and power. “

But those who have wealth usually want more, like salty pretzels or chips. Companies inevitably move toward growth and more growth and when they can’t grow any more they buy other companies or merge with them.

Having the wealth of a corporation and the concomitant power is nothing compared to helping to rule the whole world!

[Avoiding_Sulla]

Hey RoadTest. Right on queue to both you(1) and Jasper(2), we have Obama(3):

1. They also plan to kill the old folks;
2. In Barack Hussein Obama [our Jacobins] have a handsome young lawyer with oratorical skills to push their agenda;
3. In a rare moment of candor....Obama suggested ... that one way to shave medical costs is to stop expensive and ultimately futile procedures performed on people who are about to die and don't stand to gain from the extra care. -- Obama Wants to Let Those Pesky Geezers Die

Heh, heh. Just like those first Jacobins had their Sun King who could decree life or death, don't get on the wrong side of our Jacobin's Slum King:

you might be declared a geezer before your time, whitey.

[Avoiding_Sulla]

Hat tip to musicman for making this art available on that other thread.

[Carry_Okie]

Before then, all conservatives will require mental health services, consisting of being forcibly drugged.

[Avoiding_Sulla]

Nah, that’s is just too Soviet, and thus much too passé.

I think our newly emergent rulers, having let their masks slip entirely off, are relishing their King of the Hill muscles far too much to be that passive-aggressive.

[Avoiding_Sulla]

And your tagline is oh so fitting to my point. :)

[Avoiding_Sulla]

bert, I’m sorry to have let your comment go for so long, but your statement works at many levels and wanted to word my response without going too deep.

Much of the excesses of the Jacobins began more than a century earlier, right? I find the parallels astounding and would like to hear more from you.

Can you draw parallels between 17th century counter-reformation’s purchased indulgences and Algore’s carbon credits?

[wagglebee]

I plan to keep on geezin’ for a long time, F’ Obama!

[Avoiding_Sulla]

Dismissing uhbama ain’t hard. You must know he’s only the latest DC front man since you’ve been on my DC ping list since it began.

I’m quite sure you’re unafraid to handle the zombies who’ll be after you. But for me, I wished to inoculate the greatest number of children so to reduce the number of zombies our Jacobins successfully produced. It’s the ones I never reached and who’ve been indoctrinated that I worry FOR. I wanted us to have to have to whack fewer. We’ll get over it; but many who still wear blinders may hesitate reality hits them hard, and they’ll find it harder to do what must be done.

[BnBlFlag]

These Obama useful idiots in the streets don’t even know these super wealthy eletists exist. They think that the “rich and powerful” are the local banker or car dealer.

[RoadTest]

“whitey”?

Who are you: “Blackie”?

[RoadTest]

“Far too many CINO “leaders” ( Protestant and Catholic) are in league with the devil today.”

Yes! Scripture analysts whom I respect say this “When Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven (The Church) is like a woman who put leaven (a type of evil in Scripture) into THREE LUMPS of meal. Those three lumps are the Catholic Church, The Orthodox Church and the Protestant Church. All three will prove to be apostate.

But, as always in man’s history with God, there is (and will be) a Godly remnant.

[Avoiding_Sulla]

Well, I could have used “cowards” this time, but that may have been too much of a stretch.

See post number 3, to which you already responded. I figured you would recall the irony of whitey there, so I recycled it but with less recognizable connection. It is in fact an irony that has been promised to haunt us “cowards” as suggested, I hope you recall, by the AGOTUS. Their mask has dropped, and their threat is real.
