Of the latter, he remarks that \u201che showed a truly satanic genius in all that he did\u201d (1905: 55). Of the former, after acknowledging his weakness of character, he says: \u201cYet he was so deeply involved in all the machinations of Bigot that he was drawn down from one bad step to another, until there was nothing for it but to let the confederates plunge the colony into utter confusion, in order to cover up their own misdoings\u201d (46). This illustration I offer in support of the Preacher\u2019s thesis that there is nothing new under the sun. But note well:\u00a0 What is transpiring today is not merely a fight for Canada, or even for Europe and its colonial dominions. It is a fight (as Patrick Wood maintains) against\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Technocracy-Hard-Road-World-Order\/dp\/0986373982?asin=0986373982&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">global technocracy<\/a>, a fight for the whole world and every inhabitant thereof. What William Wood says of Bigot &amp; Co. may be said, on a grander scale, of their globalist counterparts today: \u201cAltogether, it was one of the very worst bands of chartered brigands known to history that lived upon the misery of New France.
