The principles of the Declaration of Human and Citizen Rights were put into practice… #14juin1789 Les jacobinS 🆚 sans-culottes ? HiddeN history…?!!! While the republic of #Türkiye #🇹🇷 was being established during the War of #Independence, the #Ottoman state family had to leave #anatolia ?country, but we know that #sacrecœur does not leave his homeland Find the reality #Truth that is dark evil under our real iceberg: maybe when we change our #perspective will disappear, those who burn will destroy Let's read the secret #history carefully please The implementation of the #Declaration of the #Rights of #Man and of the Citizen and the handling of the executive power of a people's assembly destroyed the feudalitary institutions in France. The anger that developed against the nobles already in the masses of the people led many nobles to leave their lands and flee to other European countries… All these developments in #France would have very important consequences for all of #Europe and radically change the internal dynamics not only of the coming years but also of the centuries… ⚠️extraterrestriAL 🆚 humanity ⚠️✅

How it works in Denmark 😊
So, this is not a post about the New danish King.This is a post about the Danish society. A friend of mine made a remark, which caused me to reflect a bit. Think about this event in many other societies. Think about crowd control. Notice the missing piece? The crowd is asked to stand behind the yellow line. No fences. No pushing from behind. As the coming king made his Way through society. People kept to the sidewalks as gently asked by the officials. No fences. No guardrails. If you want to understand the feeling of Living in Denmark, i Can Think of no better representation of the respect and trust that we live in and live by on a day to day basis. This feeling, i’m so grateful for on a day to day basis.
