Napoleon’s Romance Novella - Clisson & Eugénie, 2-5

This was written when Napoleon was in his mid 20s after things had turned sour with his fiancée/sister in law Eugénie Desirée Clary. Napoleon was a depressed guy who fell in love easily, almost always in the same way. First, he was nuts about her. Then he got to know her.

The woman who I feel was the exception to this was his stepdaughter/sister in law Hortense. He was always clinging to her, doing whatever he could to keep her from escaping his grasp - evincing a lot of hurt anger when he felt she wasn’t showing him any devotion. I believe the memoirs show that these were his reactions and actions.

I also suspect Napoleon loaded the women in his life with diamonds so he could get away with showering his stepdaughter with expensive jewelry. Otherwise, Napoleon was known for frugality and flipping out at Josephine for her lavish spending.

Hortense has significant historical stones named after her and she is a figure in the history of jewelry simply because Napoleon gave her so much of it. Napoleon never publicly admitted to anything but a fatherly love for her but his behavior indicated otherwise. I revisit this topic frequently because I feel it shows the real heart of this much maligned man.

I need to make a custom belt for my Napoleon Coat

People on YouTube rave about an inexpensive “Chinese Shoe Patcher” that can sew through leather. After it arrived, I set it up and I was bleeding and filthy from the machine and I could get out some ugly stitches using what was left of my hands.

The creator of this video calls himself Turbo Conquering Mega Eagle and I just so much admire anyone who can machine and work with fire like he can that I feel compelled to celebrate his skills.

The cartel of special advantages and freedom from earthly consequences

The game is so rigged that anyone seeing this is called a conspiracy theorist (another name for someone adept at pattern recognition).

The size of the lie is staggering. Upholding the lie is the price of reaching what looks like the top and those groomed from birth to protect secrets can enter that VIP lounge. This is the absolute opposite of a meritocracy.

I talk about Napoleon, in part, because they had to destroy the earthly life of Napoleon to really lay down the tracks of this highly secretive system. A strong leader with integrity would have rooted this infestation out.

Their motto is order out of chaos. This group can’t constantly take more power using chaos, infiltration, subversion, threats and BRIBES when there’s an orderly decent ruler doing right by his people, not constantly harassed by warmongers using media to vilify him - to turn their malice around on him; Using his human weakness and noble sentiments against him.

Without unity amongst the decent, we have lost and we will continue to lose. It’s our own fault that putrescence and child abuse predominate in the current milieu. Just all of us saying, “We see what you’re doing and it’s not okay anymore. No more tricks.” would make a difference but people are so brainwashed by media and they can’t let go of their nostalgia and love for “celebrities”. When is enough going to be enough?
