Even de Gaulle Couldn't Stop the French From Being French

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags, 

France is done.   One writer claimed France was in a slow-motion collapse, and my view is that France is doomed, and that doom is unstoppable, and they deserve it. It seems to me in all its history France has had only two great leaders. Charles Martel who saved Europe from the Muslim invasion, and Napoleon; and he was and Corsican Italian.

left-wing Unions are joining these rioters, for higher wages to cover rising costs, and yet don't have a clue what needs to e done to fix their rising costs.  

I have a three-part series on Europe’s looming fiscal collapse (see here, here, and here). Based on this data from Robin Brooks, the crisis will likely start in France (it’s a bad sign when the light blue line is above the dark line). So what should be done about this seemingly inevitable fiscal crisis?

The easy answer is not to repeat the mistakes of the past. More specifically, don’t bail out profligate governments. No bailouts from the IMF. No bailouts from Brussels. And no bailouts from the European Central Bank (ECB). As I wrote about Greece back in 2010, I think bankruptcy and default is a preferable approach. And, back in 2018, when I speculated that Italy would be the first debt domino, one of my recommendations was a no-bailout policy............

For what it’s worth, I issued the same warning back in 2011. Sadly, the current head of the ECB is both incompetent and statist, so I’m not very hopeful for a good outcome.  P.S. While the European Central Bank has a bad track record, let’s not overlook the pernicious role of the International Monetary Fund. If we want to stop bailouts, we have to worry about both the ECB and IMF.

And truth be told, it won't matter whether they get the bail outs or not, France is representative of the dangers of a massive socialist welfare state.   They're doomed economically, culturally, socially and ethnically as the native French population is on pace to become a minority by 2050 at current rates of migration.  I think that's going to happen whether they restrict immigration or not as Muslims are disproportionately out breeding ethnic Europeans.    

French Defeat - France—long the self-proclaimed guardian of high culture, of cathedrals and Cartesian clarity, of Enlightenment rationality and the moral vocabulary of Christian inheritance—now confronts scenes of disorder that would have been unthinkable to its earlier custodians. In the streets of its cities, young cohorts drawn largely from Muslim immigrant communities assert themselves with a confidence born of demographic momentum and ideological certainty.

 The response of the governing class under Emmanuel Macron has been a studied detachment—the sociological equivalent of what clinical psychiatry once termed belle indifference, the serene unconcern of the hysteric in the face of symptoms that disrupt ordinary life. This posture, cultivated since the retreat from North Africa, has allowed the progressive erosion of the nation’s historic cultural core while elites congratulated themselves on their openness and compassion toward the cultures of the world......

“Hard to imagine a more out of touch with reality speech than Macron at UN”.   Netanel Shukrun, a French citizen living in Israel, was recently murdered by a Hamas terrorist in Samaria before the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur, only to have French President Macron show up at the UN and lied about Hamas not being in the West Bank. 

 President Emmanuel Macron showed up at the UN and rather than mentioning the murder of one of his citizens or any of the core issues France is suffering from, such as illegal mass migration, went on a rant about Israel, claiming that Israel was engaged in a “shameful spectacle” in Judea and Samaria, which he called the West Bank, and claiming that it was needless because Hamas was not active in the West Bank.  Not only was Macron lying, but Hamas has just murdered a French citizen and father of six in the West Bank.

Here's the level of violence going on in France the police can't control that's costing France million of dollars they don't have, overwhelming their justice system.  

  1. Left-Extremist Rioting Spreads to Brussels With Antifa Infiltration of Protests Blamed
  2. France Student Riots Have Cost $33 million, Resulted in Nearly 7,000 Arrests
  3. French Riots, Islamic Terrorism, and Civil War
  4. France Street Violence Hits Record Levels with Multicultural Youth Revolts
  5. France’s Triple Crisis: Far-Left Riots, a Ticking Debt Bomb, and Mass Migration Collide
  6. French Riots, Islamic Terrorism, and Civil War 
  7. France Street Violence Hits Record Levels with Multicultural Youth Revolt 
  8. Maréchal: Youth Riots the Result of ‘Unassimilated Immigration’ and a ‘Hatred of France’
  9. French Riots, Islamic Terrorism, and Civil War 
  10. France Street Violence Hits Record Levels with Multicultural Youth Revolts 

This is a civil war and anyone who stands against the suicidal actions of the French government elite has to be punished, like this French military priest who called upon "men of faith to prevent the French people from being replaced", with the globalists running France calling his speech racist and seditious and implying he should be imprisoned for daring to state the obvious, along with any solider who agreed with him. But he isn't alone. 

In 2016, a highly decorated French General was stripped of his position for anti-mass-migration activism; in 2018, a group of ten generals, an admiral, and a former minister of defence broke ranks to call President Macron a ‘traitor’ for backing mass migration, and in 2021, another general spoke of the risk of “civil war”.
 
How do the people of France feel about all this and what they think needs to be done?  Almost Half of French Would Support Military Intervention to Restore Order:

49 per cent, of the French public would support the military intervening to restore order and safety in France, even without government orders to do so, according to a poll conducted by Harris Interactive.   The polling was released on Thursday in response to a letter signed by 20 former French generals and an estimated 1,000 former and active-duty military members who denounced growing insecurity and Islamism in France and warned of potential civil war and military intervention.........It also found that 74 per cent agreed that “anti-racism” activism had caused the opposite effect of what was expected.........

In a letter by Marine Le Pen she has "invited former military officials to join her movement after they signed a letter denouncing Islamism and rising crime and warned of potential civil war in France.  The letter, which was signed by 20 former generals, including the former Commandant of the French Foreign Legion Christian Piquemal, called on President Emmanuel Macron to defend patriotism in France"

Anti-government students and Antifa left wing extremists rioters originating in France have spread to Belgium, "sparking violent clashes with police in Brussels and Liège",  and one has to wonder how long before this spreads over all of western Europe.
