Within a short period of time, Gilles de Rais went from being one of the wealthiest and most accomplished war heroes in France to being accused of some of the most despicable acts a human being can do
The elite have always been depraved and still are, to this day. Does power ever lead to anything good? It's hard to imagine these atrocities still happening today, in supposed civilized times, but how näive to think so. Not to say horrible acts are exclusive to the ruling class, but their deliberate intent makes it so much worse.
The power leads to power, and sadly still continues, power against those unable to defend themselves or starstruck by supposed "greatness" is in the news daily.
There's the rub. These people are put on pedestals, idolized, revered, trusted. And within our warped economic systems, they are paid obscene amounts of money that makes no sense, in view of what they do, what they actually contribute. I'm sure when their system finally collapses and they're exposed for the terrible things they do, no one will be left untouched. There will be people...politicians, royalty, movie stars, musicians...we've admired as the "good guys", surely they're not involved. Jim Jordan? Michael Jordan? Dolly Parton? Prince William? Ronald Reagan? Donald Trump? Jackie Kennedy Onassis? JFK? Think of the most benign and beloved public figures and imagine the devastation and denial. I believe that time is fast approaching and it will be earth-shattering. Thank you for responding. 💟

His story inspired the fictional character of Bluebeard, who committed similar atrocities...
That's an interesting connection. Thank you for sharing David
