Hey ho it’s Dare the Protell!

I’m really excited for her :’D

I’m just back from proTELL General Assembly in Bern, and it was very positive, with the presentation of the new strategy for fighting against Bruxelles interference in Swiss laws, particularly gun laws.

The new website is online, it is much clearer and easier to navigate, and a new “mascott” was presented to the public.

protell.ch

Yes and no. It’s an association to promote freedom in general with a focus on gun rights, but it’s not a “gun lobby” like the NRA can be (for the moment, at least).

So now we know what fate the government has in store for Swiss gun owners.

This is perfectly inacceptable. The only solution is to get out of Schengen.

10th of August, 1792: The French King orders the Swiss to lay down their arms

On the 10th of August, 1792, abused by false promises and contradictory news, Louis XVI King of France decided to abandon the Tuileries Palace to place himself under the "protection" of the National Assembly. 

Escorted by a Swiss soldiers company commanded by the Captain d’Erlach and flanked by fifty grenadiers of the Filles Saint-Thomas (a National Guard battalion), the King and his family surrendered to the National Assembly. 

For endless hours the King’s escort, and then the soldiers assigned to the Tuileries protection, will endure the raging attacks of a crowd hungry for revenge.

In the confusion of these dark hours, a message from the King to the Swiss to retire to their barracks would be misinterpreted by an emissary. 

It will lead the Swiss soldiers to leap to the rescue of the King, who was detained in the National Assembly.

After having suffered heavy casualties, they managed to meet the King – to whom they all had sworn on their honor to protect with loyalty, only to found out he has been deprived of all his powers.

Believing he would still be able to save them, the King ordered that the Swiss soldiers surrendered their arms to the National Guard. 

In doing so, he signed the death sentence of his faithful Swiss.

His order of the 10th of August, 1792 is still preserved in the Museum of the Carnavalet. Here it is:

The King orders the Swiss to lay down their arms at once, and to withdraw to their barracks.

On roughly 950 Swiss officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers in office, 850 were slaughtered between the 10th of August and the 3rd of September, 1792.

This unbelievable sacrifice is the consequence of both orders from a weak and undecided sovereign and a mob (manipulated by the Jacobins and and various revolutionary clubs) savagery, combined with the enduring discipline of the Swiss regiments in foreign service.

The news of this bloodbath echoed in Switzerland, where the strongest indignation was felt.

The Tuileries slaughter and the account of the atrocities committed against the Swiss soldiers marked the end of the good relations between the French Kingdom and the Diet, which had prevailed since 1453, the date of the first alliance between French and Swiss.

10th of August, 2017: the EU orders the Swiss to lay down their arms.…

225 years separate these two summons, but with always the same will behind these words: disarm!

In 2017, edicts come no more from a King of divine right but from a self-proclaimed European Commission - with as much democratic legitimacy.

Today, the power-hungry EC strikes equaly the Poles (reluctant to change their laws), freedom and security-loving Czechs, or Hungarians simply refusing contingents of illegal migrants.

225 years later… it’s always the same story: the Swiss must surrender!

To these words, the quote of Sergeant Blaser from Solothurn is echoing: 

We are Swiss and the Swiss surrender their weapons only with their life!

On August 7, 1817, the Federal Diet ordered the distribution of a commemorative medal to the 345 survivors of the French Guard Regiment of France.

In 1818, Karl Pfyffer von Altishofen, a Swiss Guards Regiment officer on leave at the time of the Tuileries slaughter, organized a fund-raising campaign for the creation of a monument in honor of his missing comrades.

Between 1820 and 1821, the famous Lion of Lucerne is carved out of an old quarry, reminding the virtues of the Swiss soldiers at service of France. The engraved motto is: Helvetiorum Fidei ac Virtuti (To the loyalty and bravery of the Swiss).

This monument is one of the most visited in Switzerland with more than 1.4 million visitors a year.
