Notice in one video how one assumed federal agent has on his back the word “ MEDIC.“ so, how are people supposed to know which “federal agent” is safe and which is not? We must assume no “agent” is safe to be around.

Quote of the day, 25 June: Martyrs of Compiègne
In June 1794, the Reign of Terror was at its height. The cult of the Supreme Being had replaced the worship of the God of Jesus Christ. On June 10, a new law abolished the right of the accused to be interrogated before the court or defended by a lawyer. The verdict was now either acquittal—or death.
On the evening of June 21, the Carmelites, returning to Compiègne, informed Saint Teresa of St. Augustine (Lidoine) of a search by the Committee of Surveillance. The official record stated:
“Considering that a denunciation already exists in our registers; that these women still live together in community; that they remain subject to the fanatical rule of their cloister; that there may be a criminal correspondence between them and the fanatics in Paris; that their gatherings may be directed by fanaticism…”
Thus, the search resumed the next day.
On June 23, the Carmelites were arrested and taken to the former Visitation convent, which had been converted into a prison. In the adjoining room, English Benedictines from Cambrai—considered foreigners and suspects—had been confined since October 1793.
On June 25, the zealous Committee of Surveillance forwarded to Paris the letters and documents seized during the search. On July 12, the Committee of General Security ordered the Carmelites to be brought before the Revolutionary Tribunal. The community was to be transferred to the Conciergerie.

Let's be perfectly clear. ANY time "uncertainty" is injected into an economy, individuals, families and businesses cannot adequately make plans for the future. Ergo, spending, especially for big-ticket items like houses or cars . . . drops. The more uncertainty, the larger the drop. The first two months of #F47's #ReignOfTerror is a recipe for how to crash an economy.
#HeatherCoxRichardson's post today is worth a read. Of note, what's happening in the US now is akin to the French Revolution's #ReignOfTerror. Read to find out how/why. Or you could just look out your window.
8️⃣ And when law momentarily collapses, we get spasms of ochlocracy—like:
• The Reign of Terror (1793–1794)—where revolutionary mobs executed thousands in the name of democracy.
• The January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol (2021)—where a mob, convinced of its legitimacy, temporarily overrode legal authority.
#Taos #ReggaeBand #IrieBellion Releases Powerful Single Advocating #ClemencyForLeonardPeltier
By Native News Online Staff
January 07, 2025
"Six-piece reggae band IrieBellion, based in #TaosNewMexico, has released a new single to advocate for the release of #LeonardPeltier, a #NativeAmericanActivist who has been imprisoned for nearly 50 years.
"'Leonard Peltier’s Song' features Grammy-winning flutist #RobertMirabal of Taos Pueblo and a traditional drum group composed of singers from several Indigenous nations. Through this collaboration, the band hopes to amplify calls for President Joe Biden to grant clemency to Peltier.
"The song blends IrieBellion’s reggae-inspired rhythms with Robert Mirabal’s signature flute playing and the traditional Indigenous drumming and singing of #JohnSwiftbird (#Lakota), #ChaskePacheco (#Dakota / #SantaDomingoPueblo), and #BrysonSanchez (Dakota / #SanFelipePueblo).
"The song makes a direct #PleaForJustice, with Davis crafting a chorus —'Do the right thing, let freedom ring/ It's been so long, let's right this wrong' — that appeals to #PresidentBiden to take action and right what the band views as a longstanding wrong.
"The musical advocacy for Peltier's case has a rich history in popular music. #RobbieRobertson (Mohawk), the legendary guitarist and songwriter of The Band, created a particularly powerful statement with his song 'Sacrifice', which incorporated Peltier's own voice through a recorded prison phone call with Robertson. Little Steven (#StevenVanZandt), known for both his work with Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band and his solo career, also contributed to this musical legacy with his own 'Leonard Peltier,' which, like IrieBellion's new release, used Caribbean rhythms to carry its message of justice.
"Peltier, a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of #Chippewa Indians, became involved in the American Indian Movement (#AIM) in the 1970s, a time of tension between Indigneous communities and the U.S. government.
AIM advocated addressing issues such as police brutality, treaty violations, and systemic inequality affecting Native Americans.
"Peltier’s case comes from a 1975 shootout on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, where two FBI agents and a young Native man were killed. The shootout occurred during a period of violence on the reservation, often referred to as the '#ReignOfTerror,' when residents faced threats and attacks for their ties to AIM.
"Peltier was convicted in 1977 of killing the agents, but his trial has been widely criticized. Key evidence was withheld by the prosecution, including ballistics reports that could have supported his defense.
"Eyewitness testimony used to extradite Peltier from Canada was later recanted, with the witness stating they were coerced by the FBI. Even the U.S. attorney who handled the case has since admitted that no one knows who fired the fatal shots.
"Peltier has maintained his innocence for nearly five decades, and his case has been condemned by numerous human rights organizations, including #AmnestyInternational. Calls for his release have grown in recent years, with Peltier now in his late seventies and facing health challenges.
"'Leonard Peltier’s Song' is available on streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music, and can also be found on IrieBellion’s HearNow page. The band encourages listeners to not only enjoy the song but also take action by learning about Peltier’s case, signing petitions, and contacting officials to advocate for his release.
"For those who want to learn more, organizations such as the International #LeonardPeltierDefenseCommittee provide resources and updates on efforts to secure his freedom."

In case you needed one, another reminder that #DonaldTrump must be allowed nowhere near the #WhiteHouse, lest his second term make his first look like the model of probity and good governance.
Take his plan to appoint #MikeDavis as temporary AG, just long enough for a (his words) " #ReignOfTerror ," firing as many as he could from DoJ, indicting every one of Trump's perceived enemies, then leaving town with a #pardon in his pocket. :ablobfoxdundundunowo:
The fall of the Girondins, which occurred during the Paris insurrections of 31 May-2 June 1793, marked the end of a bitter power struggle between the Girondins and the Mountain during the French Revolution (1789-99). https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2090/fall-of-the-girondins/ #History #FrenchRevolution #Girondins #ReignofTerror
The War of the First Coalition (1792-1797) was a continent-spanning conflict in which a coalition of European powers, including Austria, Prussia, Great Britain, the Dutch Republic, Spain, and several others, sought to contain and defeat Revolutionary France. #History #WarInTheVendee #ReignOfTerror #FrenchRevolution #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/War_of_the_First_Coalition/
Jean-Baptiste Jourdan (1762-1833) was a French general who held significant commands in the French Revolutionary Wars (1792-1802) and the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815). He won a major victory for the French Republic at the Battle of Fleurus in 1794 and was among the first 14 men to be appointed marshal of the empire by Napoleon I in 1804. #History #ReignOfTerror #FrenchRevolution #BattleOfFleurus #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/Jean-Baptiste_Jourdan/
The Battle of Fleurus (26 June 1794) was the climax of the Flanders Campaign of 1792-95 and was one of the most decisive battles in the War of the First Coalition (1792-1797). A French victory, Fleurus ensured French ascendency for the rest of the war, leading to France's conquest of Belgium and to the destruction of the Dutch Republic. #History #ReignOfTerror #FrenchRevolution #BatavianRepublic #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2213/battle-of-fleurus/
