The Black Tulip No. 1
The Hague-By all accounts the Dutch Court has gone into an emergency session to consider recent reports of military mobilization across the continent, and in particular, along the French border. Contacts tell us that the Court's policy of strict neutrality is under review by senior ministers, and contingency plans are being formed should war break out with the revolutionaries in Paris. Diplomatic envoys have been seen carrying sealed pouches heading for various capitals of Europe. One Dutch diplomat was overheard to note that as long as Dutch interests overseas were not threatened, the Court would continue to follow its neutral course. Diplomatic relations with Paris are known to have broken down in public fashion when the French officials leaked secret correspondence in a French newspaper a few weeks ago.

Leakage? Mon Dieu!
The only "leakage" one can see across the borders of France consists of the dribble and drool on the chins of the gin swilling polder dwellers, as they plod through their sea-mud from tavern to tavern.
Alarum! Alarum! Alarum! They hear the creak of a wagon wheel and wet their pantaloons in fear!
Dragoons and Cuirassiers are on constant border patrol, since the well-known "merchants" of Holland are in reality "smugglers" of French goods. Their foul smelling pipes sour Gods pure air and the clouds of smoke would hide any imagined troop movements from their beady eyes!
Is that a noise you hear? Hark! We hear the voice of Tula in far off Curacao, begging for freedom - we hear you! The French listen where the Dutch ears turn deaf.
Pluck your gin berries and grow fat on your cheeses. Send your diplomats helter skelter.
Your charade is not lost on France.
You huff and puff yourself up like a fat toad, while you are really a cobra.
We know with whom you stand despite your shallow whines of 'neutrality'!
France is ready! Your time will come!

Indeed
Gentlemen of Europe,
You see now what manner of men we are dealing with.
Holland declares neutrality. This does not suit the Cabal in Paris so it is rejected. What has Holland done to earn this? Apparently they chose to sign a non aggression pact with Great Britain.
Clearly, no one is to have a policy not predetermined and approved in Paris.
Today it is Holland, who will it be tomorrow? Spain? Italy? Wuerttemberg? All of the above? Who can know? It cannot be determined. The cabal lurches from threatening one neighbour to another like a drunken cutpurse.
What is certain, is that each of you who border France, must look to your defenses, because if Holland's protestations of neutrality mean nothing, then neither will yours.
I would suggest the gentlemen of Europe think on that. And ask who will come to your aid, when the wolves of Paris are at your door? Will it be Holland, if no one comes to their aid now?
Sir George Mackay
Look at the English Lies!
The English nose, it sticks itself into everyone's business, then drips into everyones lap!
No other nation need fear anything except bullying by the British liars.
The puppet-master Foreign Minister seeks to tabulate how many nations he can make jump
when he pulls on the strings he attaches to their manhoods.
"Who will it be tomorrow . . . look to your defenses" - - - blatant British lies fomenting distrust.
Nothing more than the feeble attempt of an amateur among professionals - go back to school
Foreign Minister.
LOOK AT THE FACTS, not the smoke England puffs up your posterior.
Has any other nation signed a Treaty with England while they were negotiating a Treaty with France? NON!
Only Holland.
Has any other nation ever been condemned by France for doing such a thing? NON!
Only Holland.
Has any other nation openly supported the destruction of a government of another? OUI!
England! Porcs dégoûtants, mangeurs de boeuf bouilli! They have called for the destruction of France.
So who should look to their defenses? No one other than Holland was condemned.
So who will it be tomorrow? Many tomorrows have passed and France has not spoken adversely of anyone but Holland
and their British puppet master.
So what do these facts tell us?
It appears the British have gone bobbing for apples in a pail of turds and have caught the biggest one in their mouth.
You look like a fool Mackay. the world knows that what has happened is not what you said . . . now go wipe your mouth, it stinks!

New French Invention
And now we know why the balloon was invented in France: a massive surplus of hot air, supplied by none other than the People's Assembly (or whatever they are calling their government at the moment) and most especially by their stranger minister, Mme Lebrun. The poor Dutch should be wary of a fleet of Montgolfier light-than-air craft floating serenely over their tulips fields and windmills, full of Crapauds, propelled forward by the warm, one might even say fetid, breezes emanating from Paris.
