BOTD: White-necked Jacobin

Photo: Doug Greenberg

"Rather large, spectacular hummingbird of humid tropical lowlands that favors forest edges, adjacent clearings with scattered trees and flowering bushes, and gardens. Feeds at all levels, often in the canopy, hovering with its tail cocked and occasionally opening it to show extensive white. Male has deep blue hood, green upperparts with white collar (often hard to see), white underparts, and mostly white tail. Some females look similar to males while others look very different, with dark spotting below and a mostly green tail with white tips."

Napoleon

Warning this post from Napoleon is very childish and far from any historical analysis and not very serious. If you want a serious post about Napoléon without fall in black legend this not the good post. When Napoleon complained about the betrayals done to him what I think: -Karma! You got the loyalty that you deserves. -You raise and surround yourself with people as unusual, griouettes and bloody as Talleyrand, Fouché (especially him in terms of bloodiness) you have the expected result. At the same time you got the political entourage than you deserves. -You come to taste your own medicine regarding betrayals and don't complain just to keep your power. This fair return of things makes me think of: -Hypocritical. When he lectured Hortense de Beauharnais on her transactions with the Bourbons by saying that when we share the glory, we also share the misfortunes. Napoleon didn't you share your glory with the Jacobins after your rise favored by Augustin Robespierre (I think that deep down it is good that Augustin died before seeing Napoleon become a military dictator, he would surely not have forgiven himself for 'having favored the military dictator that the mountain people feared), but then you persecuted them. In addition, you made transactions with Barras, Fréron Tallien who are responsible for the death of Augustin Robespierre or have you forgotten this fact and who also persecuted the Jacobins and the Sans Culottes. Unpopular opinion I approved of Hudson Lowe for putting Napoleon in his place. I would have been to decide on a punishment for Napoleon, I would have made him break stones like a convict for life (or I would have sent him to Haiti so that he could explain it alone and face to face to these former slaves why he persecuted them and reestablished slavery, after what happens to him I don't care a bit). There you go, it's a very childish little post, you all have the right to boo me I admit it is well deserved in my primary anti-Napoleonicism but it is not a historical analysis that I did on this post so I decided to allowed for deviations.

24 décembre 1800 : attentat de la rue Saint-Nicaise contre Bonaparte ➽ http://bit.ly/Attentat-Bonaparte Premier attentat à la bombe contre un chef d’État, l’explosion rue Saint-Nicaise à l’instant même où la voiture de Bonaparte se dirige vers l’Opéra en cette veille de Noël cause nombreuses victimes et considérables dégâts matériels : si le Premier consul n’est pas touché, le drame marque l’opinion publique et donne bientôt lieu à des arrestations massives dans le milieu des jacobins, avant que trois chouans, véritables auteurs de l’attentat, ne soient identifiés au terme d’une enquête tant administrative que scientifique

What is the view on here about who, if anyone, was most responsible for the September massacres ? I’ve seen such differing takes on this, e.g I’m reading Jonathan Isreal who allocates a lot of blame to leading Montagnards , and also Peter McPhee who is much less inclined to do so.

I swear I didn't forget about my translation projects, it's just that I've been kinda busy in the last months. But I'm currently working on something about Buonarroti and the translation of a scene from the 1955 italian screenplay "I Giacobini" (The Jacobins) by Federico Zardi which I hope I can share as soon as possible.

On the 1st historic use of the Red Flag by the Revolutionary Left. 

Even during the Great French Revolution and the age of the Tricolor. The Red Flag was already the true flag of the plebian element.

Assassination of Marat

The assassination of revolutionary activist and Jacobin leader Jean-Paul Marat on 13 July 1793 was one of the most iconic moments of the French Revolution (1789-1799), immortalized in Jacques-Louis David's painting Death of Marat. Marat's killer, Charlotte Corday, believed that the only way to save the Revolution and prevent the excesses of the Reign of Terror was through his death.

Maximilien de Robespierre

Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre (1758-1794) était un avocat français qui devint l'un des principaux dirigeants de la Révolution française (1789-1799). Après une première ascension au sein du club des Jacobins, Robespierre domina le puissant Comité de salut public et supervisa le règne de la Terreur. Il fut renversé et guillotiné le 28 juillet 1794.

Committee of Public Safety

The Committee of Public Safety was a powerful political body during the French Revolution. It was established on April 6, 1793, by the National Convention, the revolutionary government of France at the time. The primary purpose of the Committee was to deal with internal and external threats to the revolution and to protect the Republic.

Initially, the Committee consisted of nine members, but later its size was expanded. The most well-known and influential figure associated with the Committee of Public Safety was Maximilien Robespierre, who became its prominent leader. Robespierre and his fellow members were often referred to as "Montagnards" or "Jacobins" because they were part of the radical political faction within the Convention.

During its tenure, the Committee wielded immense power and was granted extraordinary authority to address the many challenges facing France, including military threats, internal rebellion, food shortages, and counter-revolutionary activities. It took a proactive and often ruthless approach in suppressing opposition and implementing policies to protect the Revolution. The Committee was known for its use of revolutionary tribunals, which conducted trials and executed perceived enemies of the Republic, including those associated with the monarchy and aristocracy.

The Reign of Terror was a particularly infamous phase associated with the Committee of Public Safety, marked by widespread political persecution and mass executions of alleged counter-revolutionaries. This period lasted from late 1793 to mid-1794 and was characterized by a climate of fear and suspicion.

The Committee's power began to wane after Robespierre's fall from grace and execution on July 28, 1794. Following this event, the Committee was restructured, and its authority was diminished as the revolutionary fervor subsided. The Thermidorian Reaction, named after the month of Thermidor in the French Republican calendar, led to a more moderate government and the end of the Reign of Terror.

In summary, the Committee of Public Safety played a crucial role during the French Revolution, exercising vast authority to protect the Republic but also becoming infamous for its radical and often oppressive actions.
