E 'in this very date that the French Revolution overthrew, with a vote largely influenced by fraud and violence, the oldest kingdom in Europe.
The vote of the Convention was preceded by parliamentary elections in a country, an overwhelming majority did not want the end of the monarchy but a way to constitutional reform and anticentralista. Danton wrote
"E 'in Paris to be maintained by all means. The Republicans are a tiny minority, and to fight, we can not rely on them, the rest of France is attached to the monarchy. Should scare the monarchy." He thought for a minority
active and violent to fulfill these purposes.
The opportunity to overturn a State which needed only a few changes that Louis XVI had clearly shown they want to grant was taken at the time of the election Representatives of the Convention.
Paris was held in check by the Jacobin bands that just the day on September 2 carried out a series of unprecedented massacres.
The prisons of Paris, where they were detained sympathizers of the King, the Swiss guards escaped the earlier slaughter of the Tuileries on 10 August and refractory priests (those who had not taken the oath, schismatic, and fidelity to the civil constitution of the clergy in 1790) were attacked by the crowd.
No one was spared: common criminals, aristocrats, priests were killed while the authorities stand by and watch the slaughter, were not even spared children and teenagers, shot to pieces in the fortress of Bicêtre, one hundred and fifty priests were summarily tried and killed in a Carmelite convent.
Only the partisans in 1945 in Schio, Ferrara, Vercelli, Carpi, and other military detention sites where they were kept for social justice, managed to equalize, as much as a murderous intention, the revolutionary refinements.
A thousand people were brutally massacred, and the next day, September 3, the Commune of Paris in a circular sent to all the communes of France defended these killings as the right people's reaction to a conspiracy against the nation by inviting other departments to "rush to our rescue, "or eliminate" vicious conspirators. " This
climate that accompanied the elections September, while promoting access to the vote of the strata of the population most favorable to the Jacobins, he forbade the exercise to the electoral assemblies in favor of monarchy, other meetings were forced to vote by open ballot in crowded classrooms by armed sans-culottes.
In this way the will of a few thousand Jacobins in Paris has prevailed for some 700,000, and even other departments was established in the roll call of commissioners have come under pressure from Paris and refused the right to vote to persons suspected of monarchical ideas .
contends that over 7 million members to vote only expressed the 600,000 eligible.
the rigged elections followed by another scam that is the procedure that leading to the decree of abolition of the monarchy voted by a Convention which met in a room full of screaming crowds. Of the 749 members did not vote more than 300, many others, elected in the large French territory came after the fact. The republic was decreed by the assembly made up by more than two fifths of its members. The fear of not being able to replace a government constitutional monarchy with a republican government where the totality of members had taken part in the vote, urged the minority to urgently adopt the resolution.
September 21 were heard, among the speakers of the Convention, such statements: "All the dynasties that have not been devouring the races that lived on human flesh" or "I Kings are in the moral order what monsters are in the physical, the courts are the laboratory of the crime and the den of tyrants. "
Faced acclamation of the populace armed and foaming with rage no one had the courage to resist . And so after a quick vote unanimously the Convention decreed the abolition of the monarchy by inserting the following day, September 22, through a correction of the minutes of the previous day, the term "Republic".
which was proclaimed by a minority of members, intimidated by the atmosphere of excitement and threat, without even waiting for the meeting was convened to complete.
But the fall of the monarchy could not stop at mere formal; not enough, you must kill the father, it was necessary to "the death of Louis XVI to the country alive," as called for (but worth hissing its auspices as unquestionable orders) Robespierre. The father was killed and killing not only the monarchy but the whole order of which the age-old King of France was the key. Anointed protector of the Church, Christ's representative on earth, his killing was intended to destroy the bond between the king - and therefore Christ and the Church - and France and, consequently, to destroy an entire civilization that had developed slowly in Western Europe. In its place is established a world view deeply secularized, putting in place of Sovereignty (divine) nature rather a divinely revealed.
anti-Catholic spirit shows its original expression September 10, 1793 when in its "Report on the heroic of the Republic" presented to the Convention, the astronomer Gilbert Romme, affiliated with the Lodge of Nine Sisters, suggested the Republican calendar, clearly resembling the Masonic .
mocking the Christian era, described as the era of "cruelty" and "slavery" and denying ila Christian tradition, the project to reassess the ancestral traditions of the Egyptians and Babylonians; Romme noted that "when the Republic was proclaimed on September 22, 1792, at 9 o'clock, 18 minutes and 30 seconds in the morning, the sun had reached the actual equinox, entering the sign Balance "commenting on" the equality of day and night was affirmed by the sky at the moment in which the moral and civil equality was proclaimed by representatives of the French people as the sacred foundation of his new government. So the sun has passed from one hemisphere to another the same day that the people triumphing against royal oppression is passed from monarchy to a republican government. "
The revolution was thus conceived as a return to pagan origins.
Ed chaos took possession of the rulers of the Republic. Churches burned and looted, monuments destroyed, erased all traces of the past, all mixed up with measures to discourage the people from the ancient religious practice to at the height of the proclamation, by Order of Robespierre on May 7, 1794, the Masonic cult of the Supreme Being, founder of the new civic religion.
It is in this atmosphere of sordid, savage, bestial oppression and anti-Catholic antimonarchical that joins the revolt in the Vendée, but that's another story.
Rembarre!
