What Can You Expect From the French?

By Rich Kozlovich

On August 13, 2019 Ethel C. Fenig published the article, The French cheese-eating surrender monkeys did it again, saying:
About 20 years ago, a faux French teacher on The Simpsons sneeringly labeled the French "cheese-eating surrender monkeys."  Based on their highly self-proclaimed but pathetically nonresistant Resistance against the Germans during World War II, when the Germans easily occupied France after a kindergarten-strength French opposition followed by French appeasement of and collaboration with their supposed enemy, the description stuck.   
Jonah Goldberg at National Review immediately grabbed the phrase and uses it often. And effectively. Based on recently released information about a contemporary French surrender to evil in the Israeli online site Israel HaYom (Israel Today) taken from a French newspaper, it seems The Simpsons' writers and Goldberg didn't go far enough analyzing the depths of French perfidy. 
A breakthrough in the investigation into the 1982 terrorist attack at the Chez Jo Goldenberg Jewish deli in Paris, which killed six people and wounded 22, sheds light on one of the more disgraceful chapters in French history. Following the attack, French authorities reportedly agreed to a secret pact with Palestinian terrorist organization behind the massacre — the Abu Nidal group — guaranteeing Abu Nidal operatives free movement within France in exchange for a promise of no further attacks on French soil

Please read the whole piece and then ask: What can we glean from all this? 

First, it's clear all these Muslim groups aren't really operating as independently as previously thought, otherwise this corrupt agreement wouldn't have held. 

Secondly, it's clear the French are a friend to no one, since now they're assuring these maniacs will have free rein to plan violent attacks on everyone else in the world except the French. 

France was not a true ally during WWII.  The Vichy government was the official government of France after the Germans conquered that nation, and they absolutely were collaborators with the Germans, even returning German flyers shot down by the RAF over French soil so they could bomb England again. 

Why France was ever granted special status at the founding of the United Nations by giving them a seat on the Security Council is beyond comprehension.  It certainly is testimony of how corrupt and gutless was the leadership, political and military, in the United States.  Charles De Gaulle was obnoxious, obstinate, rude, ungrateful, suspicious, self interested, and a bully.  He only cared about France, and himself.  He cared not about winning the war for the rest of Europe, in fact saying:
He “could not care less whether or not Britain won the war…. all that mattered was that France be saved.”
Eisenhower, Churchill and FDR gave into him.  That was inexcusable.  Forget all that crap about De Gaulle and the Free French in the Hollywood movies.  De Gaulle was a figure head and a politician.  Calling him the leader of the underground is strictly propaganda.  Most of the underground were socialists of some ilk or the other, including communists.  As far as any efforts on his part to liberate Europe - strictly Hollywood.

It's easy to understand when, "Referring to the symbol of the Free French, General Spears, envoy to France, remarked, in a comment often attributed to Churchill,the heaviest cross I have to bear is the Cross of Lorraine." "This succinctly summarized Churchill’s feelings" about De Gaulle "who was chauvinistic, suspicious and petty."

Of course, when you consider how both FDR and Truman virtually gave Eastern Europe to Stalin, and even forced Russians back to Russia, for eventual imprisonment, many of whom died there, I guess that wasn't the worst act of criminal negligence of the WWII leaders, including Eisenhower.  As for Eisenhower, as new information comes out and time has gone by, I've found him despicable. He was as bad as FDR and Truman.

FDR was a traitor, Truman was a fool, and Eisenhower was a bureaucratic fool who bordered on treason.

As for the French, nothing's changed since WWII.  De Gaulle would have sold out the world to Germany if France could have benefited, and the French leadership would do the same thing now.  Nothing's changed except the names. In reality the only great leader the French had since Charles Martel was Napoleon, and he was Italian. 

So, what can we expect from the French?  Cheese and wine, and we can make better here in the United States.  Anyone who disagrees is a Francophile snob. 

However, finally, the one all important message we can glean from all of this is this.  Hillary Clinton isn't President of the United States.

Why do the French insist on their ‘cultural exception’?

By David Ellwood September 25th, 2013
Is French culture exceptional, exceptionalist, or just… unique? The question was raised again this year by the row which broke out just before the start of US-EU trade talks. The French government insisted that cultural products, particularly film and television, should be left out of the negotiations due to their special status as timeless acts of artistic creation. So, said Paris, they should be considered beyond and outside the hard rules of market-driven commerce, so overwhelmingly favourable to the scale and priorities of America’s creative industries. This position was greeted with derision by a wide selection of Anglo-American commentators in politics, business, and the media. Most of the critics choose to forget or ignore what lay behind this very French-looking story. But Europe and America had been here before.
In 1993, as the GATT process was about to give way to the new World Trade Organisation, President Mitterand and a wide array of French, European, and even some American film makers threw the entire procedure into disarray by insisting on what they called the ‘cultural exception’. GATT, they said, had always recognized that culture should not be regulated like bananas or machine tools. But by now wider issues had arisen to justify this position and ensure its relevance. Mitterand said:- See more at:
