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.

SPEW not SPGB Just a quick factual correction to the article. "The Socialist Party of Great Britain is celebrating the reissuing of Peter Taaffe’s book, The Masses Arise: The Great French Revolution 1789 -1815." This organisation is not the Socialist Party of Great Britain but is a Trotskyist group formerly known as Militant Tendency , Militant Labour and then who usurped the name Socialist Party although the original Socialist Party of Great Britain founded in 1904 are legally recognised as such by the Electoral Commission The political party the article mistakenly calls the Socialist Party of Great Britain is often called Socialist Party of England and Wales (SPEW)to differentiate it from the Socialist Party of Great Britain (SPGB)and during elections uses the title Socialist Alternative on the ballot paper when contesting elections

Who is Oprah Winfreey Many people dislike Oprah Winfrey because of her domineering personality that she exhibits in her enduring television series about women's health and beauty with "Dr. Oz." On the other hand, many women consider her to be "motherly" to them, because of her authoritarian demeanor. But what about the sinister, genocidal side of billionaire Oprah? This splendid article exposes the REAL Oprah. Women beware — she wants you to abort your babies and become a slave of the government! The Insiders are very pleased with her for carrying out their intent of world genocide, and her Oprah Television Program and her Oprah magazine will therefore carry on unabated.
