B...Allow me to add another considered perspective. Between 1600 and 1700 some of the most productive farming families of France migrated to Nova Scotia. Myths and lies abound about this group known as the Acadians. My research reveals that they were mainly a large group of extended family that were descended from the Duke du Berry going back to the late 1300's. They appear to have been a very pure bloodline that started leaving France en masse when Richelieu came into power. They created the first successful colony in the New World. From Nova Scotia, a large portion of this group migrated around 1750 to South Louisiana where they established communities in some of the most remote and hard to get to places in South Louisiana. Wherever they went they created prosperous communities that were later attacked. It is recorded that attempts to genocide this group happened repeatedly initially in France, then in Nova Scotia and today Louisiana which is under serious attack by British Petroleum. I submit that this group of people who ended up in Louisiana can legitimately be called the nation of France in that they brought with them the culture of France and have preserved it even more than the people who stayed behind or those who moved in when they left. The fact is, the people who were entering France at that time were hostile to the native Catholic French and this was the precise reason the old native French migrated gradually away. I've discovered forgeries in documents where the word 'de' signifying ownership of a fief is written over crudely to turn it into the word 'dit' which is supposed to mean a nickname for a common soldier. This is designed to cover up the fact that a large community of legitimate descendants of the European monarchies is still thriving today in America. That these people might also bear a pure bloodline from Jesus is also a possibility and possibly the at the root of the repeated genocides.<br /><br />I've discovered that they were referred to as some of the finest Christian families of Europe, the Christian Nobility, and that the government of France had imposed censorship on information about them since the mid 1600's. These Acadians were joined by other distant relatives during the French Revolution and Napoleonic era. I've never seen the numbers, but having studied ship lists and census lists, it's clear to see that the numbers of French and Germans arriving in Louisiana was impressive. <br /><br />Furthermore, my studies show that the reason they left was due to the increasing power of the illegitimate descendants of the various monarchs. In fact, it is these same extensive families of illegitimate and mostly Jewish descendants of Catholic monarchs who have turned themselves into the run amok professional politicians that we know as government today. I am beginning to understand that the legitimate bloodlines of the French nobility literally had to run for their lives, often with altered names, leaving everything behind, as the nouveau riche and Jewish aristocracy took over France using fiat money and guillotines. Recently I have seen some demonstrations in France against this situation of minority rule, and I've read hints that, to this day, there are large chateau in France with property titles that have never been cleared.Brooshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038837183205265781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-67572064730972016742014-02-21T12:10:09.403-06:002014-02-21T12:10:09.403-06:00Great article.

You described in words ...What a WONDERFUL article!! You described in words what I always felt in my heart. Do not get me wrong. I truly believe in democracy and representative government; it has worked for centuries in Britain and America. Yet France has to me always been a disgrace. That the greatest of western monarchies and the eldest daughter of the Church should be on its FIFTH republic is mind boggling. If the British so well married Parliament with constitutional monarchy why could not the French? To think that their President has minimal French blood and his Italian wife with her sordid past represent France to the world is truly an embarrassment. France should be a monarchy with a Parlement de France AND its flag should be what is the flag of Quebec! The heritage of France is monarchical and Christian; it is what created her and gave her life. The greatest and most beautiful buildings of France today are witness to her splendid past. The republic is an offense; as is her rag flag and her bloody savage national anthem. I truly feel sorry for the french monarchists; outnumbered by the mobs!lara77https://www.blogger.com/profile/12595738597369639417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-75315882601752115032011-12-22T10:53:30.967-06:002011-12-22T10:53:30.967-06:00Many thanks A.

"Je suis un monarchiste,la Republique n'est pas le regime qu'il faut a la France" - "I am a monarchist, the Republic is not the regime that France needs".<br /><br />However, due to political considerations of his time (WWII), he was unable to work to that end while the much more urgent goal of national liberation awaited. He was supposed to have met with the Count of Paris a few times, but I think some political maneuvering on behalf of other parties prevented that. The Bonapartist heir also wanted to meet with him for the same reasons, but he was captured by the Germans.<br /><br />De Gaulle felt that if he could not have a monarchy, he would have a monarchical presidency, hence the fifth Republic's centralized structure. He most definitely was a monarchist in spirit if not in action.<br /><br />I hope I can be of assistance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-13894740442724071692011-12-21T15:17:26.158-06:002011-12-21T15:17:26.158-06:00Apologies for going slightly off-topic, but do you...Apologies for going slightly off-topic, but do you know if Charles DeGaulle supported a monarchial restoration?

Call me crazy but it is my opinion that if a german emperor from the swabian or saxon dynasties would have created an empire that included all of charlemagne's realm there would've been no napoleon, "Europe" would have looked more like the Byzantine Empire, and perhaps if charlemagne's realms were reunited by a strong german monarch then maybe even today the french, dutch, belgians, and germans would be known as Franks, that is of course if false nationalism and delusional democracy never developedLoverofWisdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15860122262494008066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-48662864408103808612011-12-20T01:03:00.954-06:002011-12-20T01:03:00.954-06:00I've never heard that, but I have heard "...I've never heard that, but I have heard "dynasty" tossed around as one would expect.

I've encountered the phrase "communist monarchy" (how's that for a contradiction in terms?) on more than one blog or news site, and frankly it really boils my blood. I have to admit that the generational succession has some of the window dressing of a monarchy, minus the legitimacy, respect for tradition, and genuine concern for the people. I just fear the long term harm it could do to real monarchies having that term repeated too often, and I expect we'll hear a lot more of it in the coming weeks. <br /><br />Of course, we all know the true Korean monarch (Yi Won) is now a manager at Hyundai and is evidently a rather quiet and unassuming person who makes few public appearances outside religious ceremonies. A shame, because that's the sort of Korean leader that should rightfully be making headlines.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08368547834849724343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-51554496226276621442011-12-19T18:41:54.028-06:002011-12-19T18:41:54.028-06:00I look forward to the others.

Humans naturally structure themselves around a fam ilial principal. The reason Monarchy works better than Republics is the same reason a Republic that resembles a Monarchy works better than one that doesn't. its because Human Nature needs the one man ( or woman yes I know) at the centre to focus on as leader and rallying point. We also work better if all peopel are brought into agreement under said leader, rather than haveing someone picked by political contest which will eb argued over for the duration fo the term they serve.<br /><br />In America they originally had the Articles of Confederation, which were much more democratic than the Latr Constitution, once critisised as too Monarichl. in a way irt is. The president is basicqally an elected King.

I g...I agree with what you wrote but will add this. I get into trouble a lot for saying that everyone has a Religion, but it’s True. A large part of Modern Religion, even in the US amongst professed Christians, is the idea of a Tyrannical Monarchy and greedy oppressive Aristocrats being Overthrown by the Noble Revolutionary, who then gives the people freedom. The ideal of the Revolutionaries is not really based on dispassionate fact, it is based on a Mythology, by which I mean a story that explains a greater Truth.<br /><br />To today’s Minds, the facts are ignored because the Story is so compelling and forms the basis of how Civilisation is understood. The reason the terrors of the revolutionaries and realities of the System are ignored is because we have become enamoured by the Idea of Republicanism, and no Democracy, and never examine it. ( Yes I know that people here have, I mean collectively and in general.)<br /><br />The Revolution and the Ideals of the French revolution define what it means to be French, and to an extent what it means to be European or a part of the Western World in our Modern Era, and the Narrative is more than just a story that tells our History, its what defines the very way we understand how History works and who we are.<br /><br />Thus, we can’t simply combat Republicanism by citing the Facts, for they will be ignored and we will be called Revisionists. Rather, we must control the Narrative and find something compelling to draw people in. We must make this story not just a story but get people to so internalise it that it becomes the very essence of their being.<br /><br />People don’t love the Revolution or Modern Democracy for what they are, but for what they are suppose to be. People don’t really Love Democracy at all; they love the Idea of it. Its much like how a Young Girl may romantically imagine Life with the Rouge as exciting and full of fortune and infinite pleasures, whilst ignoring the more stable and hard working suitor. Until she realises her Romantic imagination doesn’t match reality, nothing will change. But she must do more than just abandon the false imagined impression of the Rouge, but must create a new Dream around the much better suitor; preferably one that actually matches the facts but told in such a poetic way as to marry fact with Idealism to create the Happiest of Unions.<br /><br /><br />France tome is dead. Bu one day as Jesus she may ressurect. Until then, its just the Republic of the Penninsula and provence of the new Federal Europe.ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-22071457511489425612011-12-19T03:01:14.317-06:002011-12-19T03:01:14.317-06:00Well put, Mad Monarchist.
