Napoleon was kind of like George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson, maybe James Cameron depending on how the sequel to Prometheus turns out. Their early work was great but years later it was just a mess. Living in opulent splendor made him decadent and corrupt, he lost that earlier drive when he was a pleb trying to make it, when if he didn't utterly dedicate himself he would get his shit fucked up.

Reminds me of Griffith when Guts switched up on him.

He even divorced Joséphine to marry an Austrian princess afterwards. He may have loved her, this much is very true, but this didn't prevent him to have other people warming his bed.

You are basically talking about the Masonic/Jewish connection to Napoleon. Napoleon, like Cromwell and Caesar before him, was financed by Jewish bankers, who had geopolitical motivations for doing so.

The Enlightenment basically started in England. You had Francis Bacon, John Dee, and the Royal Institute which were the precursors to outright Freemasonry—which realistically went all the way back to Francis Walsingham's spy ring during Elizabeth's reign. The Enlightenment, contrary to public perception, was never about objective science; indeed, Newton was more of an alchemist than a mathematician. If was always about the sectarian conflict that was started by the Protestant Reformation. The Catholic Church was the enemy that united Protestants, Jewish bankers, Freemasonry, and esoteric studies (based off of the kabbalah).

The Bourbon Dynasty (the French monarchy) was the target of many Masonic/Jewish intrigues. After James II was disposed of by William III of Orange, Catholicism was dead in England. Napoleon was in actuality a philo-Semite revolutionary, even going so far as to call a Sanhedrin in 1806, pandering to Jewish interests. Napoleon was a Freemason, himself, and he was attempting to spread their subversive ideology across Europe, undermining the only force that ever stood up to Jewish influence effectively, the Catholic Church. He was almost certainly a useful idiot in many regards, and his autobiography shows a distinct lack of understanding of his geopolitical environment.

Continued in part II:
>>
>>605246
Freemasonry essentially has no centralized structure. What was meant to be subversive to France, was not allowed to destroy England. The lodges in Belgium and the Netherlands (and in Germany, if you buy the Illuminati theory) were the dispensers of such subversion as Voltaire. These ideas of equality and fraternity could not and, indeed, never could be realized in reality, as the totalitarian leadership that supplanted monarchism clearly elucidates. The Jacobinic Revolution was an English and Jewish plot at its core, and it was never meant to provide the French with freedom, but rather destroy Catholic hegemony in Europe, and shift power to the Whigs and Jews (who realistically are near the same thing, due to intermarriage and shared interests).

Yes, this is why England fought for two decades trying to put back a catholic Bourbon in power in France, and overall opposed the revolution everywhere.

Mostly E. Michael Jones's The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit. It's long, bit it's good and uses Judaic sources, primarily. He is an academic conspiracy theorist.

>>605267
All of these events coincided with the Enlightenment, which at its core was Freemasonry. You have to remember that almost all of the founding fathers were Freemasons, and the American Revolution ran concurrently to the Enlightenment, and especially close to the French Revolution. Thomas Paine was basically the Voltaire of America. The whole movement was a Whig alliance with Jewish finance. I don't believe all Freemasonry is a conspiracy (I don't think the founding fathers had any ill-will in mind, for example), but rather it is a veil for Jewish finance.

As for you saying they tried to restore Catholicism, I doubt that is true, at least not actually. The Protestant Reformation and the Counter-Reformation was an ongoing debacle for the majority of England's Protestant existence. From the Irish Catholics that Oliver Cromwell suppressed and the wars against Philip II of Spain, you will have to do more than that to convince me of a Protestant love of Catholicism.

The Catholic Church formed an intelligentsia that were largely Jew aware. Going all the way back to the 1230s, a man by the name of Nicholas Donin revealed the Talmud to the pope, showing the subversive nature of their "religion." The Protestant Reformation was basically Jewish money financing a schism from the Catholic Church, and it is hilarious there are still people who don't think the expulsion from Spain—and the Inquisition prior to it—had nothing to do with the nascent Protestant movement. As a matter of fact, many Jewish authors admit that the bibles being printed in Belgium and the Netherlands were outright printed by Jewish owned presses—just recently designed.

Part II:

So basically what happened was: the Church cracked down on Jews; the Jews financed Protestantism; the new English elite aligned themselves with the Jews after stealing church property (think Thomas Cromwell); and you have a back and forth between Catholicism and Protestantism culminating in Freemasonry, which is largely based off of the Jewish Cabala in imagery and concepts.

The reason Big N was so succesful is simply the amount of manpower of France that was desperate for a place in this world. In the decades prior to the revolution and the rise of Napoleon, the population in France was exploding, and the economy couldn't support their longing for the legendary French lifestyle.

Thats not true, all the elite units were based off older veterans. One of the main reasons Napoleon lost at Waterloo was because he had to conscript young (and under-trained) soldiers after the catastrophe that was the Russian invasion.

Napoleon one of the greatest leaders of Europeo ever.
He modernized all europe under his control in different ways,starting from the civil code.
Even the expedition in Egypt was glorious under scientific prospective ,he found the rosetta stone
School reform,monetary reform.
He made lot of things....he had a vision, and europe lost a great man,IT took a fucking big coalition to defeat him .

Neither. I just wanted to include the picture. My point was that Anglos act as if they did all the work fighting Napoleon when they actually made other countries (namely Prussia) do most of the fighting.

All subversive according to Catholic decree. All of their rhetoric was imported from England. You really think a movement just happened to pop up in France and take out Catholic hegemony? Nothing just happens in politics—never.

>WE WUZ ENLIGHTENMENT THINKERS

"In the mid-18th century, Paris became the center of an explosion of philosophic and scientific activity challenging traditional doctrines and dogmas. The philosophic movement was led by Voltaire and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who argued for a society based upon reason rather than faith and Catholic doctrine, for a new civil order based on natural law, and for science based on experiments and observation. The political philosopher Montesquieu introduced the idea of a separation of powers in a government, a concept which was enthusiastically adopted by the authors of the United States Constitution."

that's obviously implicit, but no matter how hard you work if you lack the skill or the oportunity it's all for naught.

like napoleon said "ability is nothing without opportunity"

Enlightenment thinking went back to the Royal Institute and Freemasonry. Freemasonry and the "Enlightenment" are the same thing. The Bourbon Dynasty didn't just let English propaganda like Voltaire and Rousseau through the front door. Rather, it was all done surreptitiously via Beligian and Dutch lodges.

Only after she did. He was clearly shaken by it.

she even brought her lover along with her to italy after refusing to see him for months during his first major campaign, no one had the heart to tell him though, when he found out in egypt he took a mistress imediately, it was worse to be a cuckee rather then doing the cucking for a general in society at the time.

I'm sorry but you seem to have accidentally put a picture of Napoleon in place of Genghis Khan.

Enlightenment thinking went back to Descartes, and while there were some thinkers from outside France, it was completely centered on Paris.

You are wrong on every account there

>England
He built a fleet of flat-bottomed boats and made several invasion plans that were never realised

>Africa
He conquered Egypt and almost Syria before returning to become first consul after the revolution

>North Eurasia
His goal was never to conquer, just to get Tsar Alexander to get back in his continental system

To know that the US would become relevant and powerful is quite impressive when you know how fucking weak and irrelevant it was by the time Napoleon lived
