Committee of Public Safety

The Committee of Public Safety was a powerful political body during the French Revolution. It was established on April 6, 1793, by the National Convention, the revolutionary government of France at the time. The primary purpose of the Committee was to deal with internal and external threats to the revolution and to protect the Republic.

Initially, the Committee consisted of nine members, but later its size was expanded. The most well-known and influential figure associated with the Committee of Public Safety was Maximilien Robespierre, who became its prominent leader. Robespierre and his fellow members were often referred to as "Montagnards" or "Jacobins" because they were part of the radical political faction within the Convention.

During its tenure, the Committee wielded immense power and was granted extraordinary authority to address the many challenges facing France, including military threats, internal rebellion, food shortages, and counter-revolutionary activities. It took a proactive and often ruthless approach in suppressing opposition and implementing policies to protect the Revolution. The Committee was known for its use of revolutionary tribunals, which conducted trials and executed perceived enemies of the Republic, including those associated with the monarchy and aristocracy.

The Reign of Terror was a particularly infamous phase associated with the Committee of Public Safety, marked by widespread political persecution and mass executions of alleged counter-revolutionaries. This period lasted from late 1793 to mid-1794 and was characterized by a climate of fear and suspicion.

The Committee's power began to wane after Robespierre's fall from grace and execution on July 28, 1794. Following this event, the Committee was restructured, and its authority was diminished as the revolutionary fervor subsided. The Thermidorian Reaction, named after the month of Thermidor in the French Republican calendar, led to a more moderate government and the end of the Reign of Terror.

In summary, the Committee of Public Safety played a crucial role during the French Revolution, exercising vast authority to protect the Republic but also becoming infamous for its radical and often oppressive actions.

You are in the middle of the Thirty Years' War, Battle of White Mountain (1620 CE)

As you stand amongst the chaos of the Battle of White Mountain, you observe the horror of the Thirty Years’ War. The year is 1620 CE, and the Bohemian Revolt has sparked a conflict over religious and political power. You see two sides of the battle, the Protestant Bohemian army and the Catholic Habsburg army, both with their allies and mercenaries. It’s difficult to determine the actual sizes of…

Political Power

Political power is what determines a group’s success moving from the agenda universe to decision agenda. In the case of vaping, this new policy is coming a little differently than other policies because it some of the major official actors are the FDA and the government itself trying to make new rules and regulations in the interest of keeping America healthy. While there are organizations who support and are pushing for stricter regulations or the removal of e-cigarettes altogether, the FDA and government are by far the largest forces for this policy. The power of coercion was with the groups like PAVe (parents against vaping e-cigarettes) and while they still advocate for their beliefs, since the policy is currently being worked on, it appears that they have successfully used their power to get the FDA and government to respond. The blocking power lies with the few groups who want flavored e-cigarettes to stay on the market, like the manufacturers and users, however, with the current state of the policy, they are not very successful anymore.

Handbook of Tyranny / Available at www.draw-down.com / Handbook of Tyranny portrays the routine cruelties of the 21st century through a series of detailed non-fiction graphic illustrations. None of these cruelties represent extraordinary violence—they reflect day-to-day implementation of laws and regulations around the globe. Every page of the book questions the current world of #walls and #fences, police tactics and prison cells, crowd control and refugee camps. The dry and factual style of storytelling through technical drawings is the graphic equivalent to bureaucratic rigidity born of laws and regulations. The level of detail depicted in the illustrations of the book mirrors the repressive efforts taken by authorities around the globe. The 21st century shows a general striving for an ever more regulated and protective society. Yet the scale of authoritarian intervention and its stealth #design adds to the growing difficulty of linking cause and effect. By bluntly showing the designs, Handbook of #Tyranny gives a profound insight into the relationship between #politicalpower, territoriality and systematic cruelties.
