Dear Journal;
What have we done? The Jacobins appeared as saviors to the country, but now they are just a bunch of paranoid killers.  They believe everyone is their enemy, and against all I have been saying for quite some time now they are using violence as a means of solving this problem.  They are no better than the king, sure they give men a trial, but they can hardly be called a fair trial.

Much killing has happened since the Jacobins took power, killing innocent men, doing nothing to stop the peasants in a blind rage to go on killing more innocent men.  It must stop, but when will it? When we are all dead maybe.

Some day we will all be free from this tyranny, it seems we have traded one bad king for many bad leaders.  What can be done though? Nothing.  I know I will do nothing, for fear of being killed, as are many others who would stand up other wise.  I’m the first man to stand up and say I’m a coward.  I cannot leave 3 children to fend for themselves.

How long till we will all be truly free, the Jacobins give freedom of speech, but it doesn’t seem to apply to speaking out against them.  Soon they will confiscate the land and implement extreme taxes.  That is probably a bit extreme of an example, but I would not say that is an impossibility.  I understand that the Jacobins are simply trying to protect the revolution, but once again I find myself asking, “Do the ends justify the means?” I think not.

Last night I had a dream were the Lord spoke to me and said “soon”, and then a seven-headed dragon appeared and came at me and I woke up.  I was reminded of the dragon in the prophetic book of Revelation, I believe this was a sign from God that the end is near.  We shall see in good time thought I suppose.  Whatever God has planned I hope he does it before things get any worse.

Let the Lords will be done on earth and in heaven,

Jean
