A Confused & Tyrannized People Should Be Crying Out: Is There A Blessed Karl Among Us!?

100 Years Ago Today, The Last Catholic, CRUSADER Knight Died In Exile, His Example Is Needed Today More Than It Was Then.

But the Consul's brow was sad, and the Consul's speech was low,
And darkly looked he at the wall, and darkly at the foe.
"Their van will be upon us before the bridge goes down;
And if they once might win the bridge, what hope to save the town?"
Then out spoke brave Horatius, the Captain of the Gate:
"To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late;
And how can man die better than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods, - Thomas Babington McCauley, Brave Horatius At The Gate

When I read Charles Coulombe’s Blessed Karl of Austria book, at first, I was overcome with grief when the emperor’s final days were detailed near the book’s end. But by the time Blessed Karl is buried grief turned to tears of joy and wellsprings of hope that this simple, yet holy man could not be daunted by what Beelzebub and the boys threw at him. He lived for God, Family and Country, in that order and died the same way.

These United StateSSSSSSSS (NOT a typo) and I dare say the smoldering remains of The Christendom he so loved, need a generation of Blessed Karl’s. Gentlemen, this is YOU and its no April Fool’s Day joke. If this is you, begin today by declaring your kingdom’s complete independence from the demonic, rogue coup attempting to govern you into squalor then death from Mordor on The Potomac. You will have to repeat this for your state’s capitol as well as they are as steeped (save for glorious Florida) in Regime-Covid hegemony as Mordor and Biden.

My friend Sir Charles Coulombe writes of this at Alexander Tschugguel’s St Boniface Institute’s site, from the heart of Austria. Take his words to heart, Gentlemen, its First Friday, too and First Saturday is calling you to Our Lady’s ramparts!

To arms, CRUSADER Knights!

The Emperor also bears an important political relevance; we should remember his dying words, that he was suffering “that my peoples might come back together.” Now, on the one hand, the past cannot return, and the Austria-Hungary of 1867 is gone beyond recall. But a Monarchical Federation of Central European States – not too far in some ways from what Franz Ferdinand advocated before World War I – is a different story. Imagine that the Head of the House of Habsburg was crowned successively not only with the Crowns of Ss. Wenceslaus and Stephen, but new ones of Austria, Slovakia, Croatia, Slovenia – and perhaps others, such as Poland. Boasting a united Parliament and Government primarily to oversee foreign affairs and defence, the constituent countries, provinces, and municipalities would exercise the utmost subsidiarity, while the joint Monarch acted as a sort of orchestra leader. Both a focus of loyalty, ombudsman, and Commander-in-Chief of the forces, he would be in a position – legitimised by religion and cultural tradition – to act as a check and watchdog upon the political classes for the sake of his peoples. This arrangement could function either outside or inside the European Union; but if the latter, on its own terms – not Brussels’. Moreover, it could function as both an example and a catalyst for the rest of Europe, for Russia, and even that Europe beyond the Seas of which my own United States are an integral part.

Romantic dreaming? Impractical? Possibly. But something must change, and soon, in this part of the world, if things are to avoid becoming an utter disaster. While cities across the United States went up in flames during the Summer of 2020, the Marian Column was restored in Prague. The Double Eagle was restored to the Castle Fountain, and the Prague City Council gave permission for the rebuilding of the Radetsky monument. There are small but determined groups of young Monarchists in Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, and of course, Czechia: history is made by determined minorities, as the events of 1918 showed. - Sir Charles Coulombe
