L'Ami du Peuple No. 5

Our publisher, Jean-Paul Marat has been called home to Geneva on urgent family business. In his absence, we have asked some of Paris' leading literary lights to contribute guest editorials. Our first guest is none other than the infamous Citizen LeBrun.

Albrecht WidmarAlbrecht Widmar

A Rat in the Swiss Cheese!

Good people of the Cantons of Switzerland ~ France hears your cries!

Crushed under the boot of the tyrant, Albrecht Widmar, you beg for your freedom.

You tell us he seeks alliances with the enemies of France and places his Army to threaten the borders of France!

You weep to us how in his covens, high in the mountains, he secretly gives Switzerland away to other masters.

We will not interfere in your government, as the Rosbifs have in ours!

Yet one move of aggression – one treaty or alliance that places a knife to the throat of France will be met one hundredfold with French action!

We watch – we wait.

Prepare yourselves for amity or conflagration!
