#BreakingNews from 1 March 1815: #Napoleon, having escaped from Elba on 26 February aboard the “Inconstant,” lands in France:
Before we had #SocialMedia, we had #print #ephemera such as this news flyer. Few survive. This one shows heavy use;perhaps from a devotee of the Emperor
In Macpherson’s “Ossian” – derived in part from songs & legends preserved in Gaelic oral tradition – Oscar was the son of Ossian, & grandson of Fingal. Napoleon was a HUGE Ossian fan, & gave the name to his godson, who became Oscar I of Sweden

Crown Prince Oscar of Sweden, 1799–1859
Was haben #Napoleon, #Caesar und #Alexander der Große gemeinsam? Sie eroberten riesige Gebiete und: hatten Angst vor #Katzen

Die #Ukraine war es jedenfalls ganz offensichtlich nicht. Der #Lorbeerensammler #Trump hat sich wohl selber auserkoren, genauso, wie er #Napoleon zitiert, ohne die #Zusammenhänge zu kennen. So, wie er #Selenskij mittlerweile beschimpft, ist er wohl eher ein Hindernis, als eine Hilfe. Er zeigt sich offen als #Putin's #Maulwurf.
Alle Medien haben das aufgegriffen, ohne den Quatsch zu hinterfragen.
Das ist auch eine Medienkrise, die wir da gerade haben.
#Filmzitat #Napoleon #Trump
Napoleon Bonaparte: [dictating a letter]:
„To my dear Prince Alexis... I did not "usurp" the crown. I found it, in the gutter, and I, I picked it up with my sword, and it was the people, Alexis, the people who put it on my head. He who saves a nation violates no law.“
Rod Steiger’s Napoleon, in 'Waterloo' says of the crown “I found it in the gutter, and I picked it up with my sword, and it was the people … who put it on my head,... “He who saves a nation violates no law.” -
Walter Benjamin said:
"The enduring fascination with the downfall of the tyrant is rooted in the conflict between the impotence and depravity of his character and the extent to which the age was convinced of the sacrosanct powers of his role."

#Trump träumt sich ins 19. Jahrhundert zurück und will es dem großen Präsidenten #ThomasJefferson gleichtun, der im Jahr 1803 im #LouisianaPurchase von #Napoléon für 15 Mio. USD durchführte.
Er will sich vom #USKongress zum Kauf von Grönland ermächtigen lassen:
"H.R.1161 - Ermächtigung des Präsidenten zur Aufnahme von Verhandlungen über den Erwerb Grönlands und zur Umbenennung Grönlands in „Rot-, Weiß- und Blauland“.

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits: the Council Room, Malmaison, with its portrait of Madame Mere.
No poem today. Instead, a quotation:
"Pourvu que ça dure!"
- Madame Mère, Letizia Bonaparte.
