Brambles of Today want to Rule over You

And the bramble said to the trees,
If in truth you anoint me king over you,
 then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not,
let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
Judges 9:15
 
Spiritualism,
infidelity (to God while claiming to be), 
 socialism,
free love,
and trades unions, or labor against capital,
and communism, 
 all assiduously spreading their principles among the masses.
These are the very principles that worked among the people, as the exciting cause, just prior to the terrible French Revolution of 1789 and onward.
Human nature is the same in all ages,
and like causes will surely produce like effects.
