Today I am beginning a series of articles about what I believe is the extremely deep crisis taking place in Europe and about the potential of this crisis to result in some cataclysmic events. I will begin by taking a look at what has been going on in France, probably the country in Europe I know best, and also one which I think has be biggest potential to generate an explosion with far reaching consequences.
One could look at France’s economic and financial situation (catastrophic) or at the many social problems plaguing an already very frustrated population, but I want to focus on one specific aspect of the current French crisis: the complete alienation of the majority of the people from the ruling elites which I will illustrate by one very telling example: the growing hysteria of the French elites about a brilliant philosopher – Alain Soral – and one stand-up comedian – Dieudonne M’bala M’bala.
I have already written about these to remarkable people (here, here and here) and I urge you to read these past articles to get a better picture of what is taking place now. For those who are really not willing to read a few background pages, I will begin by the following mini-introduction.
Diendonne M’bala M’bala is a French-Cameroonian comedian which was by far the most popular comic in France until he made one short sketch about a religious Israeli Settler on French TV. The sketch was not particularly funny, but it really enraged the French equivalent of the US AIPAC – called CRIF in France – which began a systematic campaign to smear, ban and silence “Dieudo” as he is known in France. Dieudo refused to roll over and retaliated by making fun of those persecuting him which made him the darling of many of those who hated the financial elites running France since 1969. Now completely banned from any public media, Dieudo is still the most popular comic in France.
Alain Soral is a French author and philosopher whose political career included a membership in the French Communist Party and the National Front. He is credited with developing the concept of “gauche du travail – droite des valeurs” (literally “left of labor – right of values”) which can be summarized as the simultaneous advocacy of socialist/social ideas and measures in economic and social issues combined with conservative moral, ethical and religious values in ideological, ethical and cultural issues. He is the founder of an extremely interesting movement called “Egalite et Reconciliation” which aims at reconciling native French people (called “Francais de souche” or “root French”) with those French people who recently immigrated to France (called “Francais de branche” or “branch French”) and to make them co-exist in complete equality. Because of his numerous “politically incorrect” ideas and very overt statements, Soral is absolutely hated and feared by the French ruling class. Even though Soral has also been completely banned from any public media, He remains immensely popular with the general public and his books are all best-sellers.
Soral and Dieudo are very different people, they have very different backgrounds and they have very different personalities. There even used to be a time when they were sharply critical of each other. But when the French elites decided to basically destroy them they became closer together and now they are good friends, and they openly support each other, as a result we have this truly bizarre phenomenon: a White philosopher and a Black comedian have jointly become a kind of “two-headed Emmanuel Goldstein” of modern France: the elites absolutely hate them and the media as gone into a completely Orwellian “two minute of hate” frenzy mode trying to convince the French people that Soral and/or Dieudo are almost a reincarnation of Adolf Hitler. Needless to say, this thesis is so stupid that Dieudo makes fun of it in his shows while Soral ridicules it in his books and uses it to show that France is run by a tiny elite of vicious and arrogant SOBs.
In truth, one has to admit that the French elites are facing two formidable enemies. Dieudonne is truly one of the most talented French comedian ever while Soral is without any doubt the most original and brilliant philosopher France has seen since WWII. Furthermore, French law makes it rather difficult to completely ban a show or a book. God knows, the French elites have tried, and both Dieudo and Soral have been taken to court numerous times for “racism” and “anti-Semitism”, both of them have been physically assaulted several times by the thugs of the “LDJ” (Jewish Defense League) and both of them are constantly harassed by the authorities (the French version of the IRS and the FBI). Yet, this systematic campaign of persecutions has clearly backfired against its authors and given Dieudo and Soral a (well-deserved) martyr status. Finally, Dieudo and Soral have shown that they are extremely sophisticated users of the Internet where their shows, special events, interviews, books, monthly news roundups have been extremely popular and are seen by many millions of people in France and abroad.
Gradually, Soral and Dieudo have built a real political movement which is active both on the internal front and on international issues.
As I mentioned, “Egalite et Reconciliation” or “E&R” stands for a full acceptance and integration of Muslim immigrants into the French society. This is crucial because unlike the French National Front, E&R does not advocate the expulsion of immigrants out of France. Not only that, but E&R even denies that immigrants are the real problem. Of course, E&R does not deny that unemployment is huge in France, nor does it deny that a large percentage of crime and violence in France are committed by immigrants, but they see that as an effect of previous political mistakes and not as a cause of the problems of France.
Likewise, E&R is very openly pro-Muslim. Not in a truly religious sense, most members of E&R are not deeply religious people, but rather in the cultural sense. E&R primarily see Islam and French Roman-Catholicism as two sources of ethnics, morality and civilization as for whether one is religious or not and accepts the theology of these religions is left to the individual member. This is quit different from the utterly sterile “ecumenical dialog” which seeks to find common teachings to Jesus Christ and the Prophet Mohammad while desperately trying to overlook the very real and deep theological disagreements between these two religions. Instead, E&R advocates a common stance on most, if not all, issues faced by French Muslims and Christians. And that makes sense.
Think about it: both Islam and Christianity are clearly opposed to the values of capitalism, profit maximization, speculation, usury, sexual immorality, the destruction of the traditional family, imperialism, etc. While the theological roots of Islam and Christianity are different, most of their ethical philosophical teachings are very similar. Frankly, I can think of only one big difference and that is the fundamentally different views Muslims and Christians have on the death penalty, but since the death penalty has been abolished in France in 1981 this hardly matters today.
Of course, both Christianity and Islam have their crazy perverted deviations such as the plutocratic and genocidal policies of the Papacy in the past or the liver-eating Wahabis the world is facing today, but E&R has no problems rejecting and condemning them. On the Christian side, E&R advocates a type of popular Roman-Catholicism seen in the pre-1789 France which has little to do with some of the worst excesses of the Papacy. On the Muslim side, E&R is especially close to the teachings Sheikh Imran Hosein and Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. They are also close to the Iranian supported Centre Zahra in Paris. I would say that the type of Muslims attracted to E&R are exactly the same as the type Christians attracted to it: politically progressive, religiously strict, observant, but tolerant. Needless to say, the potential of this radically new movement is absolutely huge because it unites Left and Right, Christian and Muslim, religious and secular (as long as they are not anti-religious), native and immigrant, White and Black, rich and poor. But what seems to really trigger the panic of the French elites is the deep penetration of this movement into the notorious French “banlieues”, the destitute suburbs which over the past decades were filled with immigrants from Africa and which have turned into no-go zones of lawlessness and crime.
To understand this phenomenon it It is crucial to understand the following: crime in France is not, repeat *not*, the product of recent immigrants or religious Muslims. Recent immigrants and religious Muslims have strong roots in their culture, families and lifestyles which categorically prevent them form being criminal. And poverty has nothing to do with this either. I personally have lived for 20 years right next to a big mosque attended by huge crowds of dirt-poor Muslims from sub-Saharan Africa, the Maghreb, the Balkans and the Middle-East I can attest that never, I mean that literally, never, was any crime committed in my neighborhood by the folks who came to this mosque. Quite to the contrary, these mosque attending Muslims were far better behaved, and more courteous, than the locals. In fact, it was clear that these people were going out of their way to show the (initially rather frightened locals) that they had no cause to fear them. The worst “crime” these Muslims regularly committed was to park their cars on the curb and that was because there were not enough parking places available. Finally, at the end of each Holy Month of Ramadan, the Muslims invited the entire neighborhood to join in the celebrations, to sample the many delicious dishes offered, and to visit the mosque. To say that these Muslims were perfect citizens would be an understatement.
The so-called “Muslim crime” in France is always linked second generation youth gangs who have lost their cultural and religious roots and who know little or nothing about them but who are also rejected by the local, native, population. As Soral likes to say “nobody goes from the mosque straight into a gang-raping spree”. It’s really either/or – but not both. Soral calls these thugs “Islamo-racaille” which can be loosely translated as “Islamo-thugs” – a very nasty and dangerous type with no sense of right and wrong and who exteriorizes his alienation by abusing the natives whom he hates. These are exactly the types who feel a deep attraction for the crude brutality of Wahabism and who end up killing cops in France or joining the liver-eaters in Syria. Their “Islam” is really only a pretext, a pious justification, for their psychopathic thuggery. I suspect most crusaders were exactly of the same psychological makeup.
Most young immigrants are, of course, somewhere in between the family-educated and observant type and the out of control lawless thugs. And for the very first time a relevant political movement offers them a very attractive option: E&R.
In essence E&R tells them “instead of being neither, be both – be Muslim and be French, don’t hate the natives who have the same oppressors as you do and who are your best friends and allies, our enemies are trying to turn us against each other to better rule over all of us, let us therefore unite and stand together”. This is an absolutely new and original message.
In the past, only two movements openly dealt with the immigration issue. On one hand you had the National Front who advocated policies such as the “national preference” (better social and labor laws from the natives), the crackdown on crime (more police, stricter laws, more and bigger jails) and the expulsion of all immigrants (except, possibly, those with a French passport – and even that was debated). On the other hand, you had an organization created by the Socialist Party called “SOS Racisme” which openly advocated the rejection of the native French culture by the immigrants who, under the nice-sounding slogan of “right to be different”, were encouraged to hate the natives and demand a full acceptance of their cultures of origin by the French society. Over the past twenty years the “tag-team” of the National Front and SOS Racisme has only served to make the issue of immigration in France infinitely worse. The latest, and particularly ugly, development on this front has been the new political line promoted by the French elites.
The very same elites who 20 years ago created and covertly financed SOS Racisme and its moronic slogan “Touche pas a mon pote” (don’t touch my buddy) have now declared that Muslims are, after all, a serious problem. While in the past these elites were systematically ridiculing Christianity, they are now saying that “Islam is not compatible with the Republic”. As for the youth in the “banlieues”, they are now presented as potential terrorist or al-Qaeda sleepers. As a result, when the French elites are not legalizing homosexual marriages they are busy banning the hijab in schools and complaining about too much halal meats in the stores. And while only a tiny percentage of Muslim woman in France cover their faces, the French elites have now officially banned the burqa and the niqab in public places. Clearly, Muslim immigrants in France have now been downgraded from “buddies” to enemies.
It is against this background that more and more young immigrants are flocking to Soral, Dieudonne and E&R whose popularity is rapidly growing. Recently, an absolutely incredible event took place, something unthinkable just a few years ago.
In one of his sketches Dieudo sang a song called “Shoananas” a rather basic play on the words ‘Shoah’ (from the Hebrew ‘HaShoah’ or ‘disaster’ – name by which the French Jews often refer to the “Holocaust”) and ‘ananas’ (pineapple). Sure enough, the CRIF, SOS Racisme and other organization sued Dieudo for “incitement to hatred”. Dieudo was sentenced to a 20’000 Euros fine and he appealed the decision. On the day Dieudo’s appeal was heard by the court, something absolutely extraordinary happened. I found two YouTube videos which show the event and which I will both show because of the high probability that one, or both, of these videos will be banned (guys – download them now while you can!). Here they are:
Short version:
Longer version:
For those of you who do not understand French, let me summarize what we see.
Members of the Jewish Defense League (LDJ) show up to scream insults at Dieudo and his supporters who, in turn, shout all types of abuse at the LDJ members and wave pineapples at them while sining “Shoananas”. The cops keep the two sides apart as best they can. Then the supporters of Dieudo begin to chant “liberte d’expression” (freedom of speech) to which the LDJ members reply “am Israel hai” (“Israel is alive” in Hebrew) and begin to sing the Israeli national anthem. At this point the supporters being to sing the French “La Marseillaise” from the top of their lungs totally drowning out the completely overwhelmed LDJ activists. Now take a close look at the faces singing “La Marseillaise” – do you see that a lot of the people singing it are clearly Brown and Black? These are precisely the type young people taken mostly, but not only, from the notorious ‘banlieues’. These could be the same people who in 2001 and 2002 booed the French national anthem during soccer matches (a big scandal at the time).
The Marseillaise is first and foremost a revolutionary song, and when it is not so much sung as it is shouted by a large crowd waving fists, this is a very very serious development. Needless to say, none of that was ever shown on the French media. But you can bet that the elites saw it all and one can only imagine the fear they felt as these images.
Coincidence or not, but the fact is that when the cops heard the crowd behind them singing the Marseillaise, they began pushing the LDJ activist out of the court-building. This is not very surprising considering the immense popularity Dieudo and Soral enjoy in the various uniformed services (more about that below).
Something very important and very new is happening in France. The traditional political paradigm of Right versus Left is falling apart if only because the official “Right” and the official “Left” have become indistinguishable from each other. And in the meantime, the E&R phenomenon is becoming not only bigger, but deeper. More and more young Frenchmen are looking back at the history of France since 1945 and they are gradually coming to the realization that the country has been rule by a arrogant cabal of plutocrats who overthrew de Gaulle in 1968 and who replaced this remarkable national leader with a protégé of the Rothschild family, Georges Pompidou, who began is career as a director of the Banque Rothschild and who was later by the French elites to replace de Gaulle. The French plutocracy which, together with the CIA, had covertly orchestrated the “May 68” riots to achieve “regime change” in France, now had free reign to radically change the “sovereignist” political course chartered by de Gaulle. Can you guess when the policy of mindless import of cheap foreign labor into France began? Under Pompidou, of course! Now, thanks for E&R both native and immigrant French people are re-discovering their common history and are beginning to understand that they both were victims of the same politicians.
In the meantime, the regime in power commits one blunder after the other. The latest one is both very funny and very serious. This is the huge scandal surrounding the “quenelle”.
Originally, the ““quenelle”” was a French dish which, if well prepared, could be quite delicious. This is what a “quenelle” made with pike looks like:
The elongated shape of the “quenelle” has also given a 2nd, slang, meaning to this word. Let’s just say that the French expression to “put you a “quenelle”” would have a very similar meaning to the English “up yours!”.
Dieudonne did probably not realize the far reaching consequences of his words when he began referring to each of his jokes mocking of the regime in power as a “quenelle”. To add some emphasis, Dieudo than began to show, with his arms, the various sizes of “”quenelle”s” which he, or his supporters, were “putting” to the elites. The small ones were shown has having the length of about a hand, while the big ones, the really successful ones, where shown as having the full length of an outstretched arm. This is a typical image of Dieudo showing a “big “quenelle””:
This gesture rapidly went viral and became an Internet meme and more and more people began making this gesture as sign of something like “f*ck the system” , “screw the government” or “here is for you, Mr. President!”.
To make things worse, it became something of a sport to approach well-known personalities and to have a photo taken next to them while flashing the “quenelle”. People were making “quenelle”s everywhere, especially when photographed next to regime officials.
Check this photo of the French Minister of the Interior, Manuel Valls, a rabid Zionist who has openly called for the repression of Dieudonne and Soral in a major speech in from the a congress of the Socialist Party:
Valls is the clueless grinning idiot in the middle, surrounded by a group of young Frenchmen flashing the “quenelle”. Needless to say, when this photo was published the entire country exploded in laughter, making the “quenelle” even more famous.
In the meantime, the League against Racism and anti-Semitism (the equivalent of the US ADL in France) declared that the “quenelle” was an “inverted Nazi salute and a symbol of the sodomization of the victims of the Shoah“, I kid you not! Predictably, the French Internet exploded in laughter. The regime did not find that funny at all and it reacted with the kind of paranoia which one would expect from dictators like Stalin or Saddam Hussein: it literally launched a witch-hunt to try to detect more or less overt “”quenelle”s” and when such a gesture was detected, it attempted to punish those responsible if they were civil servants, especially in the police and military. And, sure enough, the Internet was flooded with all types of folks flashing the “quenelle” in defiance of the regime’s wrath.
Dieudo, of course, invited uniformed officials to come to his theater in Paris to perform a “quenelle” onstage, with him. He also created a website solely dedicated to photos of uniformed people defiantly flashing the sign: http://www.dieudosphere.com/les-“quenelle”s.html
Now the regime is completely lost and confused. On one hand, it is simply impossible to sanction all the people who flash such signs, even disciplining only those in uniform is impossible. Initially, the French Chief of Staff had demanded “exemplary sanctions” against the first two soldiers who flashed a “quenelle” (in front of a synagogue they were ordered to guard), but now he have to punished entire crowds of defiant soldiers, most of whom hate the regime anyway. On the other hand, how can the regime ignore the fact that it is being openly defied, mocked and ridiculed?
Here we are reaching a topic whose importance cannot be overstated: how can one achieve regime change in a democracy who has been completely bought and paid for by a plutocracy? This is question which is as absolutely crucial for France, as it is for the USA, the UK or any other EU country and the reply to this crucial seems to have eluded most of the million of people in the West who are completely disgusted with the regime in power but who see absolutely no realistic way to change it.
Violence is clearly not an option. The regime has been very clever to label any form of “direct action” as “terrorism” while creating a monstrous spy-state which would dwarf Ceausescu’s Securitate. If you try as much as throwing a brick at a politician, they will call you a terrorist and lock you up for many decades.
Playing the electoral game is futile. The plutocrats own the media which, standing on the shoulders of folks like Edward Bernays has learned how to brainwash a population far more effectively that Hitler or Kim Il-Sung ever could. Basically, as shown by yesterday’s vote in the US state of Washington, elections are bought. Period. “One man one vote” has long been replaced by “one dollar one vote”.
Trying to convince people by regular information campaigns has proven useless too. If anything the double facts that the 9/11 Truth movement has proven far beyond reasonable doubt that the Twin Towers and WTC7 have been brought down by controlled demolition AND the fact that his has had exactly zero impact on the political process in the USA proves that most people have been either zombified beyond rescue or have given up hope in complete disgust and despair.
And yet we, the common folk, do have one formidable weapon left: we can demonstratively show our total lack of respect for this regime and its values. Like Dieudo, we can do that through humor and laughter. God knows we all need a reason to laugh nowadays! And we can do it by showing our complete contempt for all the institutions the regime tries so hard to make us respect. First and foremost, we need to “diss” the voice of the regime – the corporate media – and we need to “diss” the holy liturgy of the regime – the elections. But we cannot do just that as this is only a first step. Next, we need to follow the example of Dieudo and Soral and use each opportunity to openly express our absolute contempt for every shill showing respect of this regime and its values. Not only that, but we need to denounce these propagandists as “paid regime stooges” (which, of course, they are). Lastly, we need to force the regime to show its true face by forcing it to take action against us.
Humor plays a crucial role here because – at least for the time being – it has not been declared illegal. Humor is also a formidable weapon to attack a regime’s legitimacy. Here I think of the many sketches which the late George Carlin made about the regime in the USA, like these:
Carlin was brilliant, but he did not have the immense opportunity which Dieudo and Soral are now using with devastating effectiveness: a large percentage of the population which is already not only deeply alienated by the regime in power, but which has the cultural, religious and historical roots to dare look at another model: I am talking about the Muslim immigrants in France.
Sure, the USA has the Nation of Islam lead by a pretty interesting leader, Louis Farrakhan, but the problem with the NOI is that its teachings are not truly Islamic and that cuts them off from the rest of the much larger Islamic world. Besides, ever since the murder of Malcolm X by two NOI activists I suspect that the NOI has been thoroughly infiltrated by FBI plants.
In France, however, the Islamic community has a much more organic link to the Islamic world, including to countries like Iran which fosters a far more refined and sophisticated look at the flaws of modern society than either the pro-regime mosques in France and abroad or the Wahabis.
It is, of course, ironical that the French who for many years have seen the Muslim immigration to their country as a curse are now coming to slowly realize that this might well have been a blessing. I do not mean to paint a rosy picture of Islam in France: there are plenty of unsolved problems to tackle both for the natives and the immigrants, and certain forms of Islam are probably really not compatible with the original French traditions and culture. And yes, there are many signs that the current social brew might explode sooner or later. But the phenomenon of Dieudo, Soral and E&R gives me the hope that this explosion does not have to be a destructive one, that it could also be a liberating one.
What I am sure of is that some form of explosion will happen. Not only if France ruined economically, but the regime in power is loosing its legitimacy literally day by day. Should it come to a confrontation, and that is a very real possibility in France, it is by no means certain that the police and security forces will continue to remain loyal to the plutocracy in power which, after all, has only made the life of the regular cop much worse. I can easily imagine a “bank holiday” turning into a violent uprising and after that, anything could happen. One of the most knowledgeable observer of the French political scene – economist and author Pierre Jovanovic – believes that President Francois Hollande will not even be able to finish his current term in office.
Of course, I do not expect Dieudo or Soral to become President or Prime Minister, neither will E&R become a big political party anytime soon (not to mention that it’s creators did not register it as a party). That is not the point. What I do hope for is that this movement will trigger a re-definition of the French political scene and create a force bold enough to take on the current power establishment head-on, something which has not happened since May of 1968 (the National Front, whose rise was secretly aided by the French Socialists in order to split the French right has long been fully co-opted into the system). Considering the many deep systemic and structural crises currently plaguing Europe, France could lead by example, if only because France’s problems are not much different from those facing the rest of western Europe.

Hey Saker!
I’m glad to read such article in a good,well spoken english!
I can now explain better to my international friends what is happening into my country(fr).
I agree with everything you just said. I will even add my own personal story there. I live into a small city with a tons of immigrants (near marseille). In my youth I developed a strong case of racism which moved to a standard case of ‘anti islam’ sentiment. UNTIL I met Alain Soral! My case is not ‘rare’ and I see more and more people starting to understand what is really going on! This uncommon team is such a strong symbol. And when dieudonne supporter start to sing the “Marseillaise” in front of the JDL (jewish defense league) It’s such a strong symbol for me. There is really something happening in France. I’m also more than happy to see someone like Soral to ‘educate’ the youth of france. Because from everything I gather, I find him one of the most educate,intelligent, guy I know.
I’m glad to see that we share the same views.Keep up the good work :-)
Hi Saker,
I partially live in France having a house.
I only agree with the financial and president descriptions.
French people suffer a lot these days. Heavy taxes, unemployment etc. They mostly put the blame on the government, in their eyes too close and too favourable to Muslims and immigrants. With the exception of Mr. Valls who is their favorite one. They are fed up of working hard to support non-working immigrants who just take advantage of the too generous French social laws. It’s too much for them. Ras le bol. There are now places, even a city totally Muslim. French women are scared…. I don’t see any mixing but more and more veiled women. I don’t have the French criminality figures but I have the Swiss: over 90% of people in jails are foreigners and the majority of them are Muslims. By the way, there is only 4% Muslim in the country. Most people in France feel contrive to turn to Marine (pools confirm this) unless the new party Bayrou/Borloo will convince them otherwise.
Cordially
Josi
@Josi: There are two parts to your post. One is the description which you make of the situation and I fully agree with it. The question is this: what to do about it. There are also three solutions:
1) The regime’s solution: pass pro-homo and anti-burka laws and that’s it.
2) Le Pen: national preference, expulsion, repression, etc.
3) E&R:national liberation through reconciliation.
Now which one can work? Not the first one for sure. Not the second one since it really keeps the first one in power. Which leaves the 3rd option.
Keep in mind that nobody has a magic wand (baguette magique) to toss all the Muslims out. Whether one considers this a great solution or a totally misguided one does not matter because no matter what the Muslims are here to stay. Forever. That is a fact that nothing will change.
So the natives have 2 options: fight against the Muslims or fight WITH them AGAINST their COMMON enemy.
Heed my words – Marine LePen is already dependent on the CRIF and even if she becomes President NOTHING will change. She is no more a real alternative than Obama was “change will can believe in” (almost the same slogan as “le changement c’est maintenant” by the way).
Being fed up is understandable, but that is not enough. The bull in the corrida is also fed up. But he is attacking the wrong target (the red cape). He needs to kill the matador. That is what E&R is saying, I think.
Meilleures salutations et merci!

hey saker,
thanks for an insightful and eloquent essay. not having been in france for years, I’m glad you informed us about the current situation there and possible near-term developments.
here’s why i find this interesting. originally from the netherlands and with strong family links with italy, i currently live in the czech republic. i can’t help but notice there are a strong commonalities in all three countries, despite differences in their economic structure and situation.
the median income is lowering every year, with more and more people reduced to food vouchers. fixed employment, while losing its meaning because of laws that favour business and leave employees powerless when let go, gives way to temporary contracts without pension or health benefits.
what i don’t see, however, is a shared realisation that not the immigrant is the enemy but the people in power. the five star movement in italy does target the political class and the economic elite, but it also occasionally resorts to anti-immigration rhetoric. neither in the netherlands nor in the czech republic do i really see a movement or a party that addresses the nationwide anger.
the developments in france that you describe so well in your article point to a potential outcome that could inspire people elsewhere in europe to open the eyes of the people to the reality that the caste is grabbing all of our belongings and privileges, while playing us out against each other.
cheers,

Do you know the following experiment: you stick two rats into a cage with an electrical grid on its floor. Then you electrify the grid. Do you know what happens? The rats immediately attack each other. Racism is the natural and instinctive reaction against oppression and alienation because it gives you an “other” to hate, which is a very liberating and empowering feeling when a person feels miserable and powerless. As for “anti-Islam” – it has the same roots. Add to this the media which does such a stellar job of frightening us, angering us and isolating us! Here is another cause of racism: solitude and isolation. If there is a “they” which I hate, then there is also a “we” to which I can belong. All these natural instincts have been very skillfully used by the plutocrats to divide and conquer us.
Soral, by his constant struggle against the causes or racism, literally takes away one of the key instruments with which our overlords have been enslaving us.
Cheers!

Yes. My personal feeling is that ALL these anti-immigrants parties, organizations and movements are puppets in the hands of the ruling elites. In fact, I am convinced of that. There is no doubt at all that Mitterrand personally ordered the French TV to give airtime to Jean-Marie LePen. And we know for a fact that SOS Racisme was also created by the French Socialists. I betcha that this is the same ALL OVER EUROPE: both the pro and anti immigrant organizations are funded by the plutocracies in power. This is why Soral, Dieudo and E&R is so important. They are setting an example for the rest of Europe, don’t you think?
Kind regards,

re: “Humor is also a formidable weapon to attack a regime’s legitimacy,” it just struck me that the five star movement in italy was founded by a comedian called beppe grillo. it looks as if the way out of the italian political impasse is through humor as well.
as to the plutocracies funding pro and anti immigrant parties, i think they do not limit themselves to that single issue. here in the czech republic, all governments of the past decade have fallen because of corruption. invariably, at the following elections a new party arose on the same side of the political spectrum as the incumbent party.
left and right have lost all meaning in any country i read about. they all represent the interests of capital. by funding parties and movements on both sides of the political spectrum, capital sets the agenda and defines the narrow window of acceptable discourse.
judging by your description of the events in france, dieudo and soral expand that window to make people aware of the real solutions that work in their interest. rightly, this makes capital nervous and the media won’t report on this as long as they cannot put a spin on it that fits the narrow window acceptable to capital.

Hello Saker,
Thanks for the insightfull essay.
At 18.31 hrs you wrote: “My personal feeling is that ALL these anti-immigrants parties, organizations and movements are puppets in the hands of the ruling elites.”
May I elaborate on this subject?
1) About the fundament of the anti-muslim campaign.
The attack on the muslims started with 911. I think 911 was done under ‘guidance’ of some pro-Israel people.
I have no proof,though. http://tiny.cc/xvv54w
2) About muslim-bashing:
Max Blumenthal wrote about the origins of muslim-bashing:
http://tiny.cc/zyuin
Also there was an article in FAIR about 12 leading Islamophobes: http://tiny.cc/p1flxw
My conclusion is that the muslim-bashers are a jewish-inspired group of people.
3) About anti-immigrant parties.
As I live in The Netherlands I know the Geert Wilders case best.
From well-reputed Dutch papers we know that:
– When Wilders was still a parliament-member for the Liberal Party (VVD), he had a personal assistant (mr. Eliot Wagschal) who came directly from the Israeli Embassy.
– Wilders asked many questions in Parliament regarding Israel and regarding military subjects. Also he made very frequent visits to the Israeli Embassey.
This made that he was investigated by our Secret Service, as they thought he worked as a kind of spy for them.
– Wilders has lived in Israel and later visited Israel many times, and met Ariel Sharon many times. He also knew Ehud Barak and Olmert personally.
– His film Fitna was made by Israeli’s.
– He is receiving lots of money from rich ‘Americans’ ( Pamela Geller -friends, I assume).
Saker, if all anti-immigrant parties are puppets in the hands of the ruling elites, as you say, then the Israeli’s are part of the Dutch ruling elite.
Or are they puppets in the hands of an ‘international cabal’ ?
( end of part one. It is not possible to post more than 4096 characters at once)
CONTINUED:
The important thing is: we have become multi- societies, and it has now become very easy to create internal conflict in all West European countries which had mass-immigration.
This may have been the strategy behind the mass immigration: divide and conquer.
The most famous muslim-basher in The Netherlands is not Geert Wilders but a jewish author, Leon de Winter. The same man who always was a fierce defender of mass-immigration. As late as 1994 he published a little book called “Manual for the battle against the Extreme Right”, a plea for free immigration.
When around 1980 the crisis caused a lot of unemployment, especially among immigrants, some brave people suggested that it might be a good idea to halt the influx of immigrants.
But the ‘Masters of Discourse’ made it impossible to discuss this. They argued: ‘a stop on immigration would be discrimination of potential immigrants, and allowing discrimination is creating a new Auschwitz.’
The brave men who suggested ‘less immigration’ were ostracised. No real political career for them.
Who are these ‘Masters of Discourse’?
Who are the people who control what we believe in during a certain period of time?
Are they actually the Jewish Lobby? No, says Israel Shamir: “The formidable Jewish Lobby is just the visible tip of the iceberg, while below there are miles and miles of solid ice: media lords, chief editors, their favourite university pundits – in short, the Masters of Discourse. “
So it is my guess that we had a large immigration for decennia because it was perceived to be ‘good for the jews’. A jewish American scholar on the subject of immigration (Stephen Steinlight) has written this in the same exact words: http://tiny.cc/myxwhw
And now they use the difficulties we have with muslim-immigrants in our societies (mass immigration will àlways give problems, from whatever stock the immigrants come) to bash and de-humanise muslims and thus also de-humanise Israel’s neigbours, in order to make destruction of these neighbours more acceptable.
In the near future they will exploit the differences to cause more internal strive in our home-countries. Divide and conquer.
This is what I fear to be the truth. I hope I am wrong.
@Jan Verheul: thanks for an immensely interesting post which adds a “Dutch aspect” to what I wrote about France and which I am sure is true of most of Europe.
if all anti-immigrant parties are puppets in the hands of the ruling elites, as you say, then the Israeli’s are part of the Dutch ruling elite. Or are they puppets in the hands of an ‘international cabal’ ?
I believe that the world’s ruling elites have their roots in the Anglo Saxon plutocracy (often Masonic) and the international Jewish financiers such as the Rothschild family. The Jewish part naturally has connections to Israel, just as the Anglo part has connections to the UK and US. In both cases there is a ‘deep state’ which can use the capabilities of the official state such as the CIA or the Israeli Sayanim networks. And just as in the Anglo case we are dealing with a sub-set of the Anglo elites, in the Jewish/Israeli case we are dealing with a sub-set of organized Jewry. From all the evidence I have seen, the deepest loyalty of these types is not to their countries or communities, but to their power and money. Sibel Edmonds has shown how Jewish US Neocons are willing to simply sell US nuclear secrets for no other motive than gross greed. So yes, I think that there is an international cabal, mainly a financial one, with close ties to the Anglosphere and to the “Judeosphere” for lack of a better world, though I do believe that their deepest allegiance is to themselves and not to any other group.
Does that make sense to you?
This may have been the strategy behind the mass immigration: divide and conquer.
Almost. I would say “EXPLOIT, divide and conquer”
In the near future they will exploit the differences to cause more internal strive in our home-countries. Divide and conquer. This is what I fear to be the truth. I hope I am wrong.
That is for sure what they will attempt. Our calling is therefore to resist and prevent them from succeeding :-)
Many thanks and kind regards,

“AND the fact that his has had exactly zero impact on the political process in the USA proves that most people have been either zombified beyond rescue or have given up hope in complete disgust and despair.”
This is something that bothers me to no end. What I have noticed, however, is the vastly differing views that middle-aged and young people have on this matter. For the young people: (I am referring to Generation Y a.k.a.the “Millenials”) I have found that out of those that actually think about these matters, the people that think 9/11 was NOT a false flag operation are in the minority, and haven’t done any research for themselves. The rest of this generation simply remove themselves from these matters with sports reality TV since facing the truths of real life can be more than uncomfortable (at times I don’t blame them, because it’s true: ignorance is bliss). Also I’m not sure if you’ve seen the video, but when Russell Brand described young people’s apathy for the system on the interview with Jeremy Paxton the other week, I think he absolutely nailed it not just for British youth but for all youth across the West.
For the middle aged folks (the Baby Boomers, who are Gen Y’s parents), the story is different. Because they are older they pay more attention to geopolitical events. As a teenager, I saw stuff on the internet like Loose Change which opened my eyes to the truth of 9/11 (and subsequently, many more truths). I started to bring these concerns up with my parents, in an effort to find answers, but I was dismissed as having fallen into the “conspiracy theories”. Years later, I am able to have a substantial debate about it and back up my claims, and I sometimes get into it with my father and a handful of other older people, some that I work with. What I have found that it isn’t necessarily the truth of 9/11 that they are denying, but it’s the fear inside of them. Every Baby Boomer has grown up with “we are the free world, we are the good guys, our way is the right way”. To accept that 9/11 was an inside job shatters these people’s entire realities that have become so ingrained in their psyches. Everything they’ve ever known would have to be reconsidered, and it gets to a point where one doesn’t know where the lies end and the truth starts. They just cannot let go of the constructs inside their minds, and it’s the fear of the dark truth itself that makes them deny it. I know this to be true because when it comes to any other debate, they are reasonable people, will listen to the other side, and even come to agree with another point of view given they are provided enough evidence. But as soon as it comes to 9/11 they won’t even hear of an alternative scenario because it goes so much deeper than 9/11 itself. Because if they acknowledge the truth of 9/11, it means acknowledging many more profound things by extension: that they’ve been lied to, that they believed these lies, that people in government are capable of such things, that they might even have voted for those people, and above all – that we (Western governments) are the bad guys. Instead of admitting these truths, it’s easier to dismiss the truth as a “conspiracy” than to come to terms with earth-shattering reality.
This is similar to what Morpheus says in the Matrix:
You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so immured, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.
Also,
“More and more young Frenchmen are looking back at the history of France since 1945 and they are gradually coming to the realization that the country has been rule by a arrogant cabal of plutocrats who overthrew de Gaulle in 1968 and who replaced this remarkable national leader with a protégé of the Rothschild family, Georges Pompidou, who began is career as a director of the Banque Rothschild and who was later by the French elites to replace de Gaulle.”
What is the true extent of Rothschild influence in the world? Have you written about them before? I have read massive amounts about this family but most of it falls under the Illuminati mythology and includes claims like them being devil worshipers and child sacrifice and silliness like that so I haven’t found anything on the Internet to take seriously.
While reading and pondering what it is that is written here and being commented on
I want to rehash something I always say at the blog, in real life
If you don’t like immigrants in your country, then don’t support the wars waged by your respective nation state
In my experience, personally speaking,people immigrate due to war and it’s outcome
destruction, devastation, disease, societal/family collapse
unemployment etc.
after ww2 many Italians immigrated to canada/us and were viciously discriminated against.
They came because their country was devastated by war.
Same for the modern day immigrants
mostly now from the ME, having been bombed to smithereens by western nations via there NATO global war machine.
Don’t flag wave
Don’t cheer on war
Look at France and it’s roll in the ruin of Syria.
France will then play humanitarian and allow in distraught traumatized Syrians and the citizens of France will complain about the immigrants
some, not all
but it is a continuing vicious cycle
strike at the root of the problem
Don’t blame the ‘other’ victims
@Penny: That is only partly true, immigrants are being sent from many countries that are not involved in any wars. Some have pointed out evidence of involvement of various NGO’s so there is definitely a deliberate agenda that is not driven by genuine asylum seekers.
The goal seems to be to import as many people as possible of radically different ethnic groups with radically different cultural backgrounds, a large majority of them from uncivilized third-world countries into countries that are traditionally White/Anglo Christian.
There are no similar policies enforced in countries like Japan, China and Korea for example, so ostensibly this agenda seems to be anti-traditional Christian, but might also be entirely racially motivated as many believe it is World Jewery’s desire to keep their greatest perceived enemy from ever rising to prominence again.
The case you mention of public opposition to Italian immigrants after WWII illustrates just how far the thought police have removed our permission to openly discuss racial differences when you think about how the Italians, back in the 1940’s were perceived by the Americans and Canadians as being “alien” when they are much closer racially and culturally to third world imports of today that are largely accepted by the general population.
@Penny: That is only partly true, immigrants are being sent from many countries that are not involved in any wars. Some have pointed out evidence of involvement of various NGO’s so there is definitely a deliberate agenda that is not driven by genuine asylum seekers.
I don’t know personally of any cases involving NGO’s
When I referenced the Italian situation I spoke from personal knowledge as stated
“In my experience, personally speaking,people immigrate due to war and it’s outcome

Because this is in my family history and the incidents are ugly

I mean actual physical attacks and vulgarities
Hello, nice summary of Alain Soral and Dieudo. I agree mostly whith what you wrote especially concerning E&R, I followed since inception. I have read Soral already in the ’90s, have seen how his ideas and world view evolved, especially in reaction to the censor attempts from the various jewish/establishment groups.
There are 2 points I would like to comment though. First, you wrote “Needless to say, the potential of this radically new movement is absolutely huge because it unites Left and Right, Christian and Muslim, religious and secular (as long as they are not atheistic), native and immigrant, White and Black, rich and poor.”, which I agree with except for the atheistic part. There is no necessity of belief in Gods to follow E&R and there are numerous commenters and members that are atheists (me f.ex.), but even Soral is not an outspoken believer, looked upon with US eyes, he is damn close to being atheist. If you listen carefully, he often uses theism as one of the means to interpret the world, but that it can be interpreted differently. It’s his recuring theme of convergence of eschatology that he develops a bit in “Comprendre l’Empire” .
The other point I disagree with is about your assessment of the Front National. In fact, Alain Sorals stay in it for 1.5 year had imho a deep and radical transformation of that party as consequence. The E&R theme has been integrated and pushed in the FN and especially in Bleu Marine Movement. It is, of course, still necessary for the FN, as an official party to be careful at not antagonizing too much the ruling zionist in media and politics, but the zios in the FN are vaning. The only prominent member with an Israel friendly view is Louis Alliot who is suing Soral btw. But when you listen to Marine or even more to Florian Philippot, you will hear nearly pure E&R themes. What people outside France often miss, because it is rather unique, is that France never was defined as an ethnic nation, this means that immigrants that acquired the nationality regularly are not considered foreigners anymore. The racistic FN is more or less a propaganda view pushed by media and other parties, not a reality on the ground (the first muslim ever to have a seat in the French Assemblée was of Jean-Mari Le Pen’s party under the 4th Republic).
Here an interview Marine gave on the African channel telesud last year, listen it’s almost pure Soral:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSyZ5ukQkUs&feature=youtu.be
Sorry just a closing remark. The current FN is much more in phase with De Gaulle as any other party.
E&R and Alain Soral are also the biggest endorser of the FN, despite the deep clash between Alliot and Soral.
PS: just an aside, we should not forget that Jean-Marie Le Pen is the godfather of Dieudonné’s daughter Plume. This was one of the funnier quennelles they both slipped into the media conformity.
Thank you very much for this article; I hope the Asia Times also publishes your piece ! Alain Soral was just fined again fined by a French court for “defamation” of the gay mayor of Paris Delanoe …. They will try to bankrupt Soral into oblivion which is why Soral & Dieudonne need maximum exposure in independent media like the Asia Times & in Russia & elsewhere…
Once again congratulations to yr piece & I hope Egalite & Reconciliation also link to yr piece !
@Anonymous0037:The goal seems to be to import as many people as possible of radically different ethnic groups with radically different cultural backgrounds, a large majority of them from uncivilized third-world countries into countries that are traditionally White/Anglo Christian
I would recommend you be careful with the terms you use here. First, there is no factual basis behind the concept of ‘race’ (or you can say that it is too vague to be useful). Second, civilized vs uncivilized is extremely subjective. For example, the French statesman Georges Clemenceau believed that “America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilisation in between”. As for the White/Anglo world, it has been post-Christian for many, many, many years. I assure you that if the Apostles were resurrected today they would most definitely NOT consider the White/Anglo world “Christian”.
My 2cts,
The Saker
@gallier2: There is no necessity of belief in Gods to follow E&R and there are numerous commenters and members that are atheists (me f.ex.)
I guess I make the difference between an ‘agnostic’ (somebody who does not know whether there is a God or not) and an ‘atheist’ (somebody who affirms that there is no God). But you are right, I should have written “militant atheist” or something similar to describe somebody who is actively hostile to religion in general, like the old Marxists with their “opium of the people”. I used “atheist” in the modern Russian use which is “actively hostile to religions”. And yes, I realize that even Soral himself is not religious in the sense that he does not believe in a God. What I meant to say is that most members of E&R are either religious, or not hostile to religion.
your assessment of the Front National.
Here indeed we do disagree. First, I believe that the NF is anti-immigrant both historically and in its policies. E&R is pro-immigrant. Yes, it IS true that some of the anti-globalist views of the NF are similar to Soral’s, but that is not a central part of the NF’s message. I would say that the NF has been zig-zagging on many issues until Louis Alliot got into Marine LePen’s bed, which resulted in a definitely pro-Zionist and pro-establishment “zag” which pulled the NF much closer to the views of, say, Eric Zemmour than to Soral. Just compare the TV airtime of Marine LePen and Alain Soral: the regime has fully accepted the NF as part of the political scene, whereas Soral and E&R are ruthlessly persecuted.
The current FN is much more in phase with De Gaulle as any other party.
Yes. And that is what I would call “une ligne politique Zemmourienne” and not a convergence with Soral.
You tell me – is the current NF closer to Soral or to Zemmour?
we should not forget that Jean-Marie Le Pen is the godfather of Dieudonné’s daughter Plume.
LOL! Yes, I know, what was a hilarious stunt!! So what brought a Dieudo who ran against the NF in Dreux to do that? Frankly, I think that both men probably like each other, and they both have a terrific sense of humor. Both are “conservative Roman-Catholics” and both have been ostracized by the establishment. But do they really share common values? Some probably, but not all that much I think. There is an entire “Petainiste” and “Para” aspect to JMLP which I doubt that Dieudo cares for too much. Nor do I see JMLP spending his holidays in Ekoudendi :-)
Many thanks and kind regards,
The Saker
@gallier2: I will replace “atheist” with “anti-religious” – thanks for the comment!
Granted, FN is closer to Zemmour than to Soral. The question is, is it a tactical choice or a deeply ideological one? I think we disagree there, but only time will tell who’s right (and I do not really have a strong opinion about that in the first place). There obviously is a lot of different currents and movements in such a big and historic party. Alain Soral has several times explained that there looks to be 2 NF, the northern part and the southern one. The northern one with figure heads being Marine (candidate in Hénin-Beaumont in the North) and Philippot (mayor candidate in my birth town of Forbach in the north-east) are closer to what was before the Communist Party i.e. a true workers party. The southern one is a more reactionnary, may be even racistic, anti-muslim one (Alliot and the freemason Gilbert Collard) best represented by Brigitte Bardot (Mémé à caniche).
De Gaulle always argued that Britain should be kept out of Europe because it would be an American Trojan Horse and he has been proved right. Pompidou brought Britain in.

That I completely agree with. Besides, the National Front is such a constellation of very different elements: the “casseurs de bicots”, the Roman Catholics of Mgr. Lefevre, the Petainistes, the monarchists, the “Reagan” economic conservatives, the Harkis, the ex-Communist workers, the French nobility, etc. etc. etc. I remember going to some of their events in the late 1980s and being totally amazed at the various types which Jean-Marie LePen managed to skillfully federate. Just one example: some meetings of the FN began with a Catholic mass in Latin and finished with La Marseillaise! How is that for an unthinkable combination in the past history of France?!
What you (and Soral) describe as two FN makes sense to me, though I get a much better impression from Philippot than from Marine. And there is on doubt that the OLD Communist Party under Marchais had very similar views than the FN line which Soral tried to push. I am just pessimistic about the FN as long as Marine runs it (yeah, I really don’t like her, sorry). What the NF needs is a leader of the type which Chevenement was – a true believer and a fighter, not a zig-zagger like Marine. At least that is my opinion, but I have left Europe 12 years ago already whereas you see it on a daily basis, so you are far more attuned to certain nuances than I am.
What do you think of the little Marion Marchal LePen? Besides being cute, is she not also very sharp? Of course, she is still very young and lacks maturity, stature, experience and, frankly, a defined worldview. But she is an extremely good debater, I think, and she looks tough to crack. Do you think that she might end up heading some “Soralian” line inside the FN or is she just a rich kiddo playing politics?
Cheers and thanks,

Marion Maréchal-Le Pen. I’m in love (don’t tell my wife). She is, as you said, cute but eminently sharp, witty and well mannered. For a 23 year old girl really incredible.
Here a (non political) show she was on
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq9Ii6CmQ58
I think she will be growing to something really huge in a few years. I followed some of her intervations* at the Assemblée and it was always pleasant to listen to her, she argues well and indeed her positions are quite E&R compatible.
* for the non local audience, she is one of the only 2 representatives of the FN in the French “Congress”. The voting system in France being the reason why a party having around 20% of the electorate can have only half a percent represented in the first chamber.
@gallier2: For a 23 year old girl really incredible.
I know. I am going to be 50 in 2 weeks and I get so disgusted with the modern youth at times that it is immensely encouraging to see somebody being so amazingly sharp and refined at age 23 (which, in my book, is almost a Kindergarten age – I have a hard time taking people under 30 seriously…).
Still, I feel that she lacks a solid ideological foundation (which is not her fault at that age, of course!). I wish she could spend a summer with Soral and the folks at E&R studying all the books which are published at KontreKulture along with some solid Marxist and Leninists texts. Then I would send her for a semester to Russia, a semester in Iran and one in Ecuador just to broaden her horizons. Finally, I would send her to spend 6 months working as a volunteer in a Hezbollah-run hospital in Lebanon. After that, I would send her back to France to run against her aunt Marine for the position of President of the National Front. And *then* the real fun would start! :-)
I know, I am dreaming…
Cheers,

So we’re more or less of the same age (I’m 48).
I don’t think she needs to do all that to get a solid ideologic foundation.

Mr Saker hello.
I live in rural upstate Quebec and we rarely – if ever – see anyone from a non European background here. However my neighbours ( a bunch of delightful slightly crazy illuminé(e)s ) are pretty much convinced that the Charte Quebecoise is an urgent necessity!
Should anyone wish to savour the world as it was in it’s comparative innocence 30 years ago this is the place to visit!
Anyway, a European friend who was brought up in Africa was telling me the other day that in her Montreal teachers canteen two women of middle eastern origin, and so dressed, were having a discussion in Arabic. My friend, who is one of the most generous and world travelled people I know took exception to this discussion going on in Arabic rather than French and she used it as an example to justify her insistance that the Charte was long overjew!
Had the two women been having their discussion in Chinese or Japanese would her reaction have been the same I asked myself?
The Islamophobic OGM seed has been well tended has it not?
My son lives in Paris. He is white’ and part of a well know multi racial crew, or gang, involved in music design basketball. street art, etc.

He is up to his ears in this debate with his friends from the Magreb even if he thinks that Soral and DieudonnÉ should keep it ‘lighter’. More humour and really funny ridicule and less of the diatribe which occasionally creeps in chez Dieudonné.

Because the last election winners are even more Israel’s rabid caniches then the previous?
By the way, the same can be said of the rabid poodles across the channel. That french and british accept Fabius and Hague as foreign ministers is proof of their shamefull decadence as citizens of sovereign nations. Whatever sovereignty they think they have, they have long ago surrendered it, through their elected, to the CRIF and the Board of Deputies of British Jews.
why is france throwing a wrench into the gears of the iran negotiations?
Answer: Laurent Fabius i.e. one of those Alain Soral and Dieudonné rightly decry as being one of those that are more interested in Israel than in France. He is the current minister of exterior and is a rabid zionist. He was implicated in the affair of the contaminated blood 20 years ago, his son is currently under investigation for buying a 20 000 000 € appartment in Paris but declaring 0 income. He is the antisemitic caricature all by himself.
@Penny: I absolutely agree that many people immigrate due to war and tragic circumstances like your family.
These certainly, without a doubt include the Wars in the Middle East, which have displaced millions and have incurred a MASSIVE human toll. I certainly do not wish to discount the suffering tragic events like war cause nor do I have any objection with richer countries lending assistance to people in need.
The point is asylum from war is also an excuse used by Western elites to justify massive immigration into European countries (countries founded and established by Europeans that is).
Let me also point out that it IS only European countries, for instance rich Arab countries like Saudi Arabia are not expected to absorb immigrants or asylum seekers in large numbers despite the fact that they are well suited to do so.

@VINEYARDSAKER:
“I would recommend you be careful with the terms you use here. First, there is no factual basis behind the concept of ‘race’ (or you can say that it is too vague to be useful).”
Saker, with respect I disagree. Modern proponents of race science all parrot this line and this idea is widely accepted of course. I’m sure it helps keep research funding flowing, but that does not make it “proven science”. There is also a good deal of alternative information that finds the scientific basis of these claims to be wanting. There is evidence for this found in nature and in history.
@VINEYARDSAKER:
“Second, civilized vs uncivilized is extremely subjective. For example, the French statesman Georges Clemenceau believed that “America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilisation in between”.”
I’m not from America and not familiar with all the details of its history.
My point is an agenda is to relocate as many people into populations of European people that are as “culturally different” from the host population as possible.
This is not to pass judgement on the people who are immigrating. They are simply pawns in the game.
Nor am I saying European populations are any better or worse than anyone else and that they are a shining beacon of civilisation, only that it is happening.
While not all immigrants are “less civilised” I think it is fair to say that in many cases (but not all) very primative people are the ones being used as pawns. I was thinking mostly of hunter/gatherer tribes in third world countries who literally live off the land when I wrote that.
I have nothing against these people, they are just poor people who live in very different environments, but it is clear that in most cases they are not going to adapt and integrate into a more civilised society. Often they bring their tribal ways and have much lower IQs and are entirely dependent on benefits to survive.
It is blatantly unfair to expect these kinds of immigrants to adapt and behave like average citizens as it is unfair for regular citizens to have these kind of people forced into their socities without their permission. It’s lose-lose for both peoples, (though probably moreso for the civilised society) but is a Marxist/globalists’ wet dream. It equalises the society and provides a new pool of cheap labour.
The Jews have always clashed with European people, so for them it is the ideal way to weaken and subjugate a dangerous oppressor and eliminate major opposition to their cohesive ethnic mix and culture.
“As for the White/Anglo world, it has been post-Christian for many, many, many years. I assure you that if the Apostles were resurrected today they would most definitely NOT consider the White/Anglo world “Christian”.
I’m sorry if I was sloppy with my words, I think I originally said “traditionally Christian”. This might have been better worded as simply “European”, but as far as I’m aware all European nations were originally Christian nations and yes have not been Christain for a long time.

what a wonderful discussion to read with the morning coffee
OT but sort of interesting
When I started the blog back in 08 I thought , wrongly, that most people on line were the under 30 crowd
I was pleasantly surprised to find many around the age of myself, gallier, saker etc
And it seemed the one thing we have in common is this disillusion with main stream politics
Or that is the impression I am getting?
I think part of the reason for this, is the witnessing of/erosion of the countries we grew up in.
Or making I am speaking for myself only here?
Anyway I won’t get to OT here, since it is not the time
APOL:

Bonjour. I am a neighbour in Ontario! Our one and only child, lived for some time in Montreal
She is fluently bilingual though neither myself or my husband are

All worth it though.

How the time flies..
@APOL, estouxim, gallier2: Laurent Fabius – oh yeah, he is the “French Lieberman” an absolutely corrupt, thoroughly evil, absolutely hypocritical and immoral rabid Zionist, the kind of guy which makes Netanyahu look almost sane. It is important to understand that unlike the USA, there is NO “old guard” of any kind in France to serve as a counterweight to the Zionist lobby. To a certain and limited degree the only rather weak lobbies are a) the Papacy and b) the French nobility, but these two have not been in power since 1945. There used to be a “Gaullist” counterweight, but ever since Danny “The Red” Cohn-Bandit (as I call him, the Trotskysts and the CIA jointly overthrew de Gaulle and then Chirac essentially betrayed Gaullisme, there is no more real Gaullist force in France with the possible exception of the National Front, which is much more diverse and complex than just “Gaullist”, but whose values are the closets to the ones of the old Gaullist movement.
Coming back to Fabius, you can think of him as the executive version of Bernard-Henri Levi, or like the CRIF/LICRA’s man in power. It’s that bad, really.

@APOL: Do you read Henri Corbin?
No, I even never heard of him.
the Charte Quebecoise is an urgent necessity!
I don’t think so. For one thing, I believe that any and all religious symbols should have the right to be displayed in the open. In fact, I *like* seeing Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus and others wearing their unique dresses.
Besides, I have just finished a 3 year long stint working with, amongst other, many Quebecois which brought me to the conclusion that the first priority of Quebec should be to re-learn how to speak *real* French and not the bizarre mix of (beautiful) old French, (horrible modern) Americanisms, (no less horrible) literal translations of American into French, and a few (often cute) original Quebecois words. When I hear stuff like “j’va faire decoller mon char la la”, “la salle de montre”, “j’ai foxé mon cours de chimie”, “t’est correct ce matin?”, “j’ai parti la laveuse à matin et chuis déjà tanné” or “piastres” I really cannot call that French. Now I have absolutely nothing against regionalisms, patois, localisms or even the development of a new language, but I spoke to too many Quebecois who truly could not speak French and who thought that I had an accent (I am a native French speaker with at the most an “accent Genevois” which I can easily hide if I want to).
Other than that, I think that the Quebecois got a golden deal from the rest of Canada, as good or better as any other linguistic and cultural minority got in France, Spain or elsewhere in Europe and I hope that Quebec can bring a lot to the rest of Canada and vice-versa.
I guess I am really fond of cultural diversity :-)

Hi, quick post to give an URL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vETmU3xW2Ro#t=51
It’s Alain Soral’s video of the month from July/August but with english subtitles. I haven’t checked the quality of the translation but it is at least something for your non french speaking audience (hi Penny) to get an idea of him.
@Anonymous0844: There is also a good deal of alternative information that finds the scientific basis of these claims to be wanting. There is evidence for this found in nature and in history.
Yes, I have looked at that alternative research and I find it unconvincing on two grounds: first, they point to differences between human groups, but the issue is whether these differences constitute an indication of a *race* or not. Secondly, the word *race* itself is either too broad or defined to fit some results. Now please don’t get me wrong, I am also personally convinced that there are real differences between Black, White and Asian however that conviction of mine, which is based on experience, does not mean that ‘races’ do exist. There is a difference between what I OBSERVE and what I EXPLAIN (by means of a theory, a model). Yes, I OBSERVE differences but when I try to make them fit into a theoretical model I fail. Common sense tells me that if there are different dog breeds with observable differences amongst them this should be the case with humans too. I have no problem with that. And even when in my highschool the teachers put up a big slogan “all races are equal” I always thought “yeah? and how do you prove that?!”. At best what we have a dots, lots of dots. These dots are factual. The problem is that the lines used to connect these dots are always self-fulfilling prophecies, results designed to fit the hypothesis, and BOTH sides of this debate are guilty of that. So I find it simply not helpful to dwell on that topic until we comeback to some rock solid definitions backed by some rock solid science. So far, we are far from it, imho.
One more thing: the ONLY religion which supports the idea or racial inequality is Judaism. ALL other religions proclaim the fact that all humans are equal in essence and before God. Of course, you do not have to accept that, but I find that quite revealing nonetheless.

It’s interesting that you mention dogs As i read through the comments I thought of dogs
All dogs, in every shape or form they come in, to my understanding, originate with wolves.
http://sciencenordic.com/dna-reveals-new-picture-dog-origins
Whilst humans come in many variants they are still all humans
My understanding on variations in humanity.. limited certainly, but variations have much to do with environmental circumstances
Then of course there would be nutritional aspects (height for instance)
Exposure to pollutants
etc
Anyway…. have a good day :)
@VINEYARDSAKER0823:
I’ve only briefly looked at the science so I am certainly no expert on the subject. I mostly follow the political agenda which lead me to the topic of race and why they would be trying so hard to convince everyone that racial differences don’t exist.
In my (admittedly limited) research on the subject I discovered that there was a fierce battle in the field of anthropology between two ideologies in the early 20th century.
Madison Grant a racialist on one side who played an active role in crafting strong immigration restriction and anti-miscegenation polices in the United States.
Grant and his opinions on race were, in their time, popular and celebrated. Whereas in the liberal world of today they are considered remnants of an “unenlightened era”.
Grants’ long-time opponents was the Jewish anthropologist Franz Boas who eventually wrested control of the American Anthropological Association from Grant and his supporters and used it as a flagship organization for his brand of anthropology.
The point is the modern day school of thought only came about through a fierce struggle for dominance of the field and just because it is the dominant view doesn’t make it the correct view. In fact much of Boas’ work was later found to be outright fraudulent.
One clue is that throughout history countless societies have gone to great lengths to keep their racial stock pure and their cultures separate from other groups. Those great nations that did not have restrictions on intermixing over time stopped being great nations. They became weakened, ineffective and confused, eventually descending into savagery and anarchy. I believe the Roman Empire is a classic example of this, albeit this happened over many centuries.
“One more thing: the ONLY religion which supports the idea or racial inequality is Judaism. ALL other religions proclaim the fact that all humans are equal in essence and before God.”
The critical issue is the wisdom of separatism, not inequality. We have been guilt-tripped into believing that all ideas around racial inequalities is supremacist thinking, but there are also practical considerations.
I understand that even in the original Bible scriptures it strongly warns against miscegenation, but this message seems to have been watered down by the Churches over time and forgotten about.
As for the Jews you could say their dogmatic insistence that they are not equal is why they are one of the few cultures that have kept their identity intact over many thousands of years. Their willingness to stick together and work together for a common purpose and look out for their own kind in itself is admirable. Their failing is that they see themselves as above everyone else.
All this being said, if a short term immigrant/European alliance can succeed in overthrowing Rothschilds/NWO rule, I’m all for it.
IIRC Moses in the Old Testament married a Cushite woman. Miriam complained to God about the woman’s race, and He struck Miriam with leprosy.
Before talking about concepts one should define correctly the vocabulary first. Let’s look first what races are. They are in fact the result of artificial selection of specific traits when breeding domesticated animals. The variations in wild animals are minimal and as Penny rightly noticed only the result of environmental pressure. When the differences are big enough that no interbreeding is possible anymore it’s another species not a race (is a zebra a distinct species or a horse race?).
If one applies the same definition to humans, one can only conclude that races do not exist as long as we breed naturally. With enough eugenics one could get to a point where one gets a race but appart of some royal lignage interbred for generations (Egyptian dynastie, Habsburgs), I don’t see anything close with humanity.
The main problem and aggravation that the French public have with the ruling elite is Muslim immigration who have created failed community states within a state like in the US with Mexican and black areas have been hubs of violence and organised crime.

No they have no proved that the WTC towers and building 7 were brought down by controlled demolition that all the evidence and the impossibility of wiring up and blowing up some of the world’s busiest buildings without anyone noticing shows that it was the impact of the planes and the resulting fire as well as falling building parts of WTC 1 and 2 that brought down the buildings.
@Jack: I see that you know as much about France as you do about 911: very very little, and all of it wrong. With your record of comments here, I expected no less.

The narcissistic idea of Jewish “choseness” is the result of the ideological dictatorship of the Rabbis over the rest of the people. It is “all in the mind”. Jews are tormented by the schizophrenia induced by their knowledge that they are not chosen and the induced faith/belief that they are.
WizOz
@VINEYARDSAKER:
Controlled demolitions do not blow up from the top down with the fire service themselves at the time while it was happening like with building 7 warning to evacuate due to uncontrolled fire.
I look at both sides of the argument on 9/11 and the red herring controlled demolition nonsense does not hold water and distracts from the real issue that no one brings up that the hijackers themselves were part of a terrorist trafficking network to aid Chechen militants.
@gallier2:
This thread might be getting a bit old, but according to my dictionary “race” is defined as:
“a taxonomic group that is a division of a species; usually arises as a consequence of geographical isolation within a species”
So isn’t “race” a division between a species and not a species itself?
You can blow off the existence of race and say it doesn’t matter, but that does not blow of ample evidence of a racial agenda. So maybe it does matter?
@jack:
Evidence that it was not a controlled demolition by explosives does not prove that fires caused by planes that destroyed the towers.
There is quite credible information that exotic “Black Technology” weapons may have been used.
How otherwise can you explain how light aluminum planes penetrated solid steel girders and concrete without the wings snapping off or how solid steel was mysteriously turned into dust when the buildings were destroyed (“dustified”).
Thank you for having this very insightful blog! Discovered only 2 weeks ago, still very much reading to do.
One problem: As a Dutch W European, having traveled at least a bit, I have VERY secular (not militant- agnostic) beliefs, and social ‘progressive’ outlook (which means: do whatever one wants, as long as it does not interfere with freedom and respect to others).
I can understand the binding factor of religion, have respect for traditions, love the R. Orthodox church music.
But I could NEVER believe in it, nor the devil, since I was ca. 10 years old.
Since my standpoint is probably true for at least 50 % of our W European nations, I would really appreciate your view on this.As a comment, or in a separate article.
Possibly the most stupid post I’ve ever read.
You cannot integrate Islam and Muslims into France. Ban wine. Polygamy. Burqua. Jihad. These are all integral to Islam and Muslims as are restricting women from driving or reading and shooting girls in the head for going to school.
You can’t be a little bit pregnant and you cannot be a little bit Muslim. It is either the full Al Qaeda or Khomeni. Or kick out all the Muslims.
Muslims in France and the West depend on White welfare transfers and consume not generate wealth ehile demanding everyone follow their idiot rules which are abhorrent, degenerate, and disgusting to Westerners.
War is coming to France. It will either remain French or be an African Muslim shithole with snow in the north in winter.
Blind idiot Jew hatred animates the idiocy of this blog. Elites in France LOVE Muslims and Africans, and dislike Jews. Jews are not the problem in France. Rather it is population replacement by Arabs and Africans, neither of whom generate anything other than violence and poverty.
And what the hell is a Cameroonian doing in France? He belongs there like a Frenchman in Cameroon.
“Think about it: both Islam and Christianity are clearly opposed to the values of capitalism, profit maximization, speculation,”
Wait what?!

Well said. The France that objected elegantly to Bush invasion of Iraq has been taken over by the neocons. Now they are so militant, they even started the mess in Libya, and Syria.
Our neocons managed to be more influential than their real statistical number by using the evangelical nut cases? In France, the majority are godless, so who are their supporters?

There is not even a French article anywhere in the news that would describe this movement and these trends in France so well. It’s perfectly described, and as a French exile, I can tell how much this is close to the reality the French elites are gonna have to deal with in an imminent future.
Thanks for this wonderfull article! I´m french and i´am wondering that poeple from other countrys are now looking at France with expectation of a revolution (at least in the mind). I hope that poeple like Dieudonné and Soral will inspire other ones in Europe and I think that you participate a lot making such translation!
The french poeple appreciate greatly such action! Thanks a lot!!!
The mind revolution may continue!

Hey Saker, E&R has profiled & translated your article on their site ; would be great to see your article also profiled on other sites like Asia Times & in Russia – the world needs to understand that France today is in the same dramatic situation like Russian in the 1990´s with corrupt likud oligarchs destroying the nation & traditional French & European values & culture.
Look forward to reading more of your excellent work !
Brilliant, I was trying to explain this situation to non french speaking people and it was so difficult to get them to understand that there is no more difference, between left and right, than the difference you find between Coca and Pepsi…looks the same, taste the same…
I was really moved to see all this people from so many different ethnical backgrounds singing the french national anthem….who in france has ever gotten these minority to sing this song so loudly and so proudly ! massive respect to Dieudo and Soral !
@Saker:
A term often used to describe “militant atheists” in the UK is “anti-theists”. We have reached the peculiar situation where mainstream atheists, for example humanists, frequently complain of having to defend organised religion against the quite outrageous claims and allegations of the Dawkins (a man with disturbing extreme right-wing connections) atheists, on the basis that organised religion is the only mainstream ethical critic of our government.
I prefer the term “Born again atheists”, as it irritates them.
Good essay – thanks.
Even though I am deeply disinclined to anti-Semitic rhetoric of any kind or tendency, somehow I deeply enjoyed this piece.
What especially warmed my heart was the idea of an abandoned -in a Western nation’s no less – immigrant population being brought in and included to the spirit of the native culture. These virtually orphaned and (spiritually, intellectually) orphaned persons frightened Western natives because it seemed they would of necessity be hostile to us; however, as you show, a little love and outreach and a willingness to embrace and communicate what is spiritually best about our culture’s ideas and traditions can make ardent patriots of those who, otherwise, would seem to have every reason to loathe their surrounding culture.
That points to the future.
My personal experiments at reaching out especially to young Muslim men have been highly rewarding. We are not so different and certainly nowhere near as irreconcilable as the MSM would want us to think.
The West is not and never was an ethnic experiment. It was always a spiritual one: therein lies our affinity. It is not our skin colour. To many other societies this seems like a weakness; however, it is actually the secret strength and reason for the success of the West.
Even though I am deeply disinclined to anti-Semitic rhetoric of any kind or tendency, somehow I deeply enjoyed this piece.
(sigh, rolleyes, yawn, deep breath, remember Einsten’s infinite things, flush short term memory, move on…)
“sigh, rolleyes, yawn, deep breath, remember Einsten’s infinite things, flush short term memory, move on..”
I am thinking that perhaps we misunderstood each other. I have no idea what is implied by Einstein’s “infinite things” or the rest of it.
Regardless, I did enjoy your article. And most of your blog.

Your earlier post states that over 90% of convicts in Switzerland are foreigners, and over half of those are Muslim. Please stop. You are willfully manipulating information to fit your agenda, and are no better than the elite. Swiss Criminal Statistics can be accessed by anyone online for free, and they show that 58% of convicts are foreigners, not over 90%. Also, 85% of these are men, and 51.5% of convicts are in jail due to traffic law. Do your own research before spouting nonsense someone else has shoved down your throat.

VERY interesting data, thanks a lot.
51.5% of convicts are in jail due to traffic law.
Now that is bizarre.
Also, did you see that only 5.5% are in jail for drug dealing? That is really good news! At least Switzerland is not engaged in this sick “war on drugs” like in the USA.
In Josi’s defense, I suspect that if you had data on violent crime or on theft (break & entry, petty, larceny, etc.) the percentage of foreigners (Balkans, Africans) would be higher, don’t you think?
Again, thanks for the good data!
