This Masonic painting depicts their great watchword: ‘the winds of change’ here shown as blowing from the Left. In the centre, Grand Worshipful Brother Jean Sylvain Bailly strikes the Baphomet ‘solve et coagula’  and swears the oath.  Further upwind, GWB, Robespierre (also of the Grand Orient) is the figure with both arms in the air cutting their ‘touchdown’ sign.

June 17 1789 the Third Estate of the French Estates General ( similar to the British House of Commons ) imitated the Protestant Levellers of the English Civil War 1642. Having declared themselves to be the National Assembly, they announced they would begin making their own laws and running the country without the supervision of the monarchy or the First and Second Estates. King Louis XVI, as one might expect, shut down the Estates General and closed the meeting hall..

The newly created National Assembly adjourned June 20 to the nearby tennis court and took the Serment du Jeu Paume (Oath of the Tennis Court) vowing not to disperse until France adopted a new constitution written on the basis of liberty , Masonic fraternity and the Revolutionary principle of equalism (impossible of achievement) or death.

This could not end well.

The French (Echo Echo Echo)* Revolution – by Dr. Peter Hammond
C.B.S. September 2, 2019

NB – Excellent account even though it fails to mention the French Catholic Counter-Revolution in the Vendee and Brittainy fighting pro Deo et Patria. Constitutional monarchies originated in the Western Christendom of the Holy Roman Empire, usually for the self-government of specific ethnic populations ie the Bretton Parliament in France – which the Great Revolution 1789 dissolved. Always, one of the best aspects of Dr. Hammond’s presentations is his personal experience in South Africa’s counter revolution against the world-wide Revolution of the Fourth Comintern, priceless oral history that will only become more important as nations come to grips with the World Communist Bio-Security State.
