It's difficult to find any modern equivalent of Voltaire (1694-1778), who composed tragedies, epic poems, and satires, plus writings against the Roman Catholic church, and histories which presumably were popular; it's hard to weigh up our age of mass production with an age of elegant leather-bound volumes. Voltaire's father was 'family lawyer to some of the noblest houses in France'; Voltaire must have felt at ease with a world of cultivated women with salons, and gentlemen with long and complicated pedigrees. His auto-nickname may be derived from 'Arovet', the Latinised version of his family name. But not from Volta, who was born years later than François-Marie, or perhaps Jean.
A modern equivalent might be a screenwriter, and poet, who wrote vigorous satires against Christians, and had a new and attractive style in presenting political philosophies and narrative histories. An even more modern equivalent might be the head of some Jewish propagandist unit, tirelessly organising propaganda.
Voltaire's Age of Louis XIV (first published 1751 I think, before Voltaire's 60th birthday) suggests the Sun King as the centre of a French world, not unreasonably; Louis XIV reigned longer than Victoria. Voltaire hints somewhere he would have preferred a title that expresses the idea of near-perfection, as in three earlier ages of Greece, Rome, Italy and the Medici. Perhaps he couldn't find a witty phrase. Anyway, he settled for an interval embracing Louis's reign of 1643 to 1715 plus some extra time on each end. But not too much at the earlier end: the Thirty Years' War from 1618-1638 was not a good advertisement for progress.
Voltaire (in his sections near the end of his book) praises England, which after Newton had its unchallenged Maître. Voltaire includes Milton, and even includes Rochester, but was puzzled by 'Shakespeare', who for centuries was difficult.
Voltaire isn't very clear on his sources (and of course had himself been around the world of Europe). Learning was in the air, but the first volume of the French Encyclopédie was published in the same year as Voltaire on the Age of Louis. And Voltaire helped edit it. (It took 20 more years to complete the full set, which came under attack. Or so the story goes; I suspect this may not be the full truth. How much was Jew-influenced I can't say).
He was of course pre-Napoleon, and free of Hitler, Stalin, and other ornaments. He was pre-rail travel, steam ships, automobiles, and air travel. No bombs, though we have artillery. And he was pre-electricity: no electric light, cables, radio. He was pre-photography; silhouettes were the limit of mechanical representation. It's quite easy, faced with faded black-and-white photographs of people in Victorian clothing walking by stone buildings on cobbled roads, to forget how recent these sentiment-inducing photographic images are. He was of course pre-Wallace/Darwin.
Voltaire pre-dated the 1776 American 'Revolution' which of course is now known to be a Freemasonry/Jewish event, with 'free speech' a controlled event to allow criticisms of things they didn't like, and to be opposed when convenient. Now (2019) it's perfectly obvious that Jews never wanted free speech. Revisionist attention to the US Constitution is necessary to understand how the US was to be controlled. 'The right of the people peaceably to assemble' may have been intended to make secret assemblies defensible legally; something Jews traditionally used and would want to carry over into Freemasonry, which was established well before 1776. I suspect the 'right to bear arms' had Jews in mind; firearms were presumably expensive, and the more modern relatively cheap firearms may not have been anticipated. And certainly there are constant frauds around the world to try to disarm whites.
Voltaire is best-known I think for his anti-clericalism, his dislike of the Roman Catholic Church. The problem I think is that Catholic corruption was rather obvious to everyone, unlike the subtle form of corruption of Jews. It is significant that Voltaire's attacks ended without any discussion of what should happen to land ownership by the Church, and its subletting and parcelling out. My guess is that Jews wanted to get their hands on it, but of course couldn't say that out loud. I don't know anyone who suggested vicars and bishops and the rest should be varied intellectuals with many ideas which they wanted to follow. And finally erase the absurd superstitions of sand dwelling fantasists.
More than half of this book describes wars. About twenty chapters on conquests, campaigns, ambitious failures. Generally, Voltaire has no overview of the results; were assets taken over? Were populations displaced? Were new aristocracies temporary, or more permanent? He describes what was fairly obvious to people who were there, and generally selects whatever most of them agree on. But wartime stuff which is secret or invisible or needed planning tends to be omitted. No doubt this is the way in which Jewish corruption introduced itself and grew like dry rot or big parasitic plants. There must be information about Jews waiting within the information on wars—which Voltaire generally describes with relish, suggesting a hidden purpose—and one hopes something like a complete story can be assembled, probably by an 'alternative' historian.
Probably his list of wars, viewed through a Jewish-selecting filter, would reveal a build-up to the 'French' Revolution, starting with the preceding Thirty Years' War and its financial effects (before this book by Voltaire, but tremendous in its effects).
It is highly significant that Voltaire treats Cromwell, the English 'Civil War', and William of Orange as a sullen contest to the death, contrasting with French humour and waywardness. Voltaire says nothing about the Bank of England, and in fact these events suggest to me that Voltaire was a crypto-Jew, spending his life as a propagandist, probably in a network of Jews. He may have been simply the name behind a group of writers, on a similar principle to the septuagint, the group behind the 'King James Bible'.
It's fascinating to see the attention devoted to Voltaire, with 'Complete Editions' published at intervals. The most recent seems to be published by the 'Voltaire Foundation' at Oxford University, with 220 projected volumes. Interestingly, there is an online searchable database, which may allow honest enquirers into Jewry a great deal of scope. Much of this is consistent with Oxford University's centuries-long crypto-Jewish activity.
About a fifth of the book is anecdotes, in several chapters. Similar material to soap operas—wives, sisters, daughters—insults, slightings—wealth, poverty—births, deaths, noble and ignoble ends.
And we have chapter on finance, but typically not loans and borrowing and debt. Then science, the 'useful arts', treated with great sympathy—nothing on dynamite of course or other rather sad modernities. And ecclesiastical matters, and Jansenism and Calvinism. (Voltaire's education included exposure to Jesuits, I think at Port-Royal in Paris. He was not impressed. Many schoolmasters are told what to teach, but don't have the interest or intellect to do it properly. Aristocratic rich youths may well madden them).
The final chapter looks at China, and the ineptness of Europeans in dealing with the Chinese. The depredations of Jews, the sackings of celestial buildings, the opium wars, were in the future, as were Jew/US wars in the far east.
Contrary to what might be inferred from Internet postings, I could find no evidence that Voltaire was what's now called Jew-aware. Nothing in the index—admittedly, not his work—on francmaçonnerie, or Jews, or Versailles, if indeed that was Jewish-owned; nothing on Jewish collaboration with Roman Catholicism; nothing on Jewish sea traffic in the Caribbean.
The condition of Europe before Louis XIV, say mid-17th century, is attractively described in chapter 2, state by state, starting with Germany, then Spain, Portugal, the United Provinces (Netherlands, Belgium, Flanders—or something like that), England, Rome (big section), the rest of Italy, northern states (Poland, Sweden [which included Norway then], Denmark, Russia), the Turks, then the biggest section on France, are rather charming. Voltaire has numerous details, such as Spanish armies attacking after playing violins, and war being declared by a herald (presumably with a loud voice). Whites and others irritated by deluges of Jew lies might find such material useful.
