Robespierre and St Just met
their end in a truly extraordinary turn of events. They were never an absolute
dictatorship but acted through the authority of the National Revolutionary
Convention.
Throughout 1794, they attacked their most trusted allies sending them to the guillotine one by one but when they turned on their closest allies within the Committee of Public Safety, the convention revolted in what came to be known as the Thermidorian Reaction.
With the execution of
Robespierre, Paris exploded into spontaneous celebration. The remaining
Jacobins, the so-called Thermidorians (seeing the joy of the French people after
they guillotined Robespierre and St Just) lost their nerve and abandoned the
depopulation scheme.
Nesta Webster attributes the end of the Reign of Terror to the spontaneous goodness of the people of Paris and she's probably correct, because the remaining leaders of the National Convention ended the terror.
"The Thermidoriens [] finding
themselves greeted on the morning of the 10th of Thermidor (July 29, 1794) by a
rapturous crowd as the deliverers of France, were quick to see that their best
chance of popularity lay in accepting the role assigned to them. If the people
thought that in overthrowing Robespierre they had intended to overthrow the
system of the Terror, well, they would stop the Terror and shift all the blame
for the past from their own shoulders by making Robespierre the scapegoat of the
whole Terrorist party.
"For the purpose that had inspired the Robespierristes to reduce the population these opportunists cared nothing, and they were ready to fall in with any régime provided only they themselves could cling to place and power.
"The Thermidorien reaction was thus not the work of a political party, but a really popular movement brought about by the force of the people's will, which, for the first time since the beginning of the Revolution, triumphed over the designs of the demagogues." Nesta Webster, The French Revolution: A Study in Democracy (1919), p. 475---
Also by Andrew Smith "French Didn't Have a Revolution"
Although I get lost jumping from chapter to chapter, Thomas Carlyle's
depiction of these events is an awfully handy guide as to what to expect,
and perhaps 'how not to handle' the coming "North American Revolution" that
is intended to accomplish total integration between the US, Canada and
Mexico. As to the 'reign of terror,' go figure which group of 'rebels' will
be leading that brigade... !
Mark Twain said, "History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme."
If you are watching the so called "Libyan Revolution" very closely, and
study Nesta Webster's "World Revolution"
you will be 'enlightened' to the pattern of Illuminati "revolutions". The
basic formula is recognizable after all these years.
Same goes for the whole 'Arab Spring'. The February MSM candy coated facade of 'People's democratic Facebook and Twitter Revolutions' has melted to reveal the ugly face of Illuminati war on the world just as it did with the French Reign of Terror.
The Rebel commander who is now in charge of Triopoli, known last week as the heroic bab al-azizziya, is AbdulHakim Belhadj, Al-Qaida veteran. After getting a degree in civil engineering in 1988, he trained and fought with the Taliban in Afghanistan. He was captured in Maylasia in 2004 by the CIA and released for his mission in Libya in 2008. He became an emir of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), on Homeland Security's list as an international terrorist NGO.
Sounds like a Al-CIA-duh asset to me.
Commander of Tripoli and Victim of American Rendition
"He is now the military leader in Tripoli, who on the night of liberation
drew parallels between the fight in Tripoli and the conquest of Mecca while
surrounded by several others celebrating around him. "

It would appear that Obama has spent another trillion dollars to help
NATO set up Al Quaida with a new base of operations on the Mediterranean in
the heart of the Middle East.

Will there be another "Reign of Terror"? Some people have seen a signal, an insider-type
telegraphing message, in the March 25, 2011, statement by Pope Benedict XVI:
"...a great court has been created in order to give a fresh impetus to respectful and friendly encounter between people of differing convictions... Religions have nothing to fear from a just secularity, one that is open and allows individuals to live in accordance with what they believe according to their conscience. If we are to build a world of liberty, equality and fraternity, then believers and non-believers must feel free to be just that, equal in their right to live as individuals and in community in accordance with their convictions; and fraternal in their relations with one another.”

The true history of the French Revolution, as pointed out in the article by Andrew Smith, has been completely covered-up. Among the information almost universally ignored is that
literally thousands of Roman Catholic priests and nuns were among the slaughtered 2,000,000. Many were tortured and then murdered in the equivalent of modern day prison camps.
As Pope Benedict XVI publicly supports the so-called Catholic Church in Communist China today, he has at the same time ignored the plight of those Catholic clergy and laity
in mainland China who are imprisoned, tortured, and killed when they do not compromise with the government's version of Christianity. Instead, on June 30, 2007, he ordered
them to comply in an official document released by the Vatican: "Letter of the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI to the Bishops, Priests, Consecrated Persons and Lay Faithful
of the Catholic Church in the People's Republic of China", links at:
