I read no more French press; it assails my
intelligence and my sensibility to style and finesse. The decline of the thought
has accompanied in France the decline of the country. Yet some friends have told
me to read an interesting article and its comments. It was published last Monday
(22/10) in
Le Monde - the newspaper which has also become the shadow of
what it used to be. The ill-written manifesto is a pamphlet in favour of more
war against Syria, a former French mandate, and perhaps the rest of the world if
the rest of the world doesn’t obey the orders and the
11
th commandment of the warmongers.
We are used to think in France
and in Europe that the political and social mess in Libya in a good thing, and
that the political chaos in Egypt or in Syria, waiting for the atomic
destruction of Iran, is a good thing too.
Thirty million unemployed people in
Europe are a good thing too, and one hundred millions poor and flaming suburbs
are still a good thing. What won’t we do to promote our democratic ideals! What
won’t we have to do to protect European democracy, the little defenceless Israel
and the little unsafe America!
The manifesto has been signed by Bernard
Kouchner, former puppet commander of Kosovo, a bunch of “fast-thinkers” and
impostors auto-proclaimed philosophers (philosophy, how many crimes do we commit
in your name!) and of course by infamous France’s official intellectual, the man
with 1000 dollars’ shirts, insulter of a Russian minister, and eternal despiser
of French culture (labelled racist, anti-Semite, bigot and so on), Bernard-Henry
Levy.
It proclaims that Mr Assad’s regime has opened its jails and so
manipulates the Mujahedin and mobsters, and that in fact Mr Assad kills twice
the resistant people of Syria: first because he is a tyrant backed by Russia and
China, second because he is a manipulator of the salafist mob!
That is why the
world needs a new crusade: for Mr Assad has threatened ethnic minorities in his
country since a year and a half ago!
Of course one will not explain thanks to
whom these communities have so long coexisted in peace before, and why
mob-controlled Arab Spring awoke anybody’s hatred…
My readers have already understood why I don’t
read French press.
Since he is the richest writer in the world and
has framed a network of docile servants and valets in Paris, Bernard-Henry Levy
can write and publish and film whatever monstrosity, even nobody buys it: as we
say in French, le ridicule ne tue pas, ridiculous doesn’t kill. Ten years ago,
our untalented warmonger had the nerve to promote a war against Russia in order
to help Chechnya. He came everywhere to praise his dement war (I remember him on
TVE, speaking in Spanish like… a Spanish cow).
Of course later his fast-think majesty and his
Faustian court applauded Bush’s insane wars, as they always insulted any
Palestinian movement, as they now pretend that Libya (Levy inspired directly
French intervention there) is a free and happy country! Who could challenge such
arguments and such people? Mr Lavrov didn’t comment insults and he was right.
France has dishonoured herself, Voltaire, Tocqueville or even Sartre, listening
to such lunatic and pedantic amusers. Yet it is of no use to lament anymore.
But I was invited by my Russian friends to read
the comments, comments that can only be written by Le Monde’s unlucky (or
distracted) subscribers. And… what a shock! And what a surprise! Almost all
comments protest the proposal of war, rather violently. There is a smell of
rebellion, a smell of scandal; there is a smell of profanation! I turned
perplexed for a few minutes: really, people in our ruined and depressed France
don’t want to send troops in Syria? Really, they say they don’t want to assist
mobsters in their persecution and extermination of Orthodox Christians and
Muslim minorities? Really, people in France would ask instead for more rights
for the Palestinians, despite the cowardice of their government? Really, people
in France understand the meaning of our Europe and post-mortem democracy?
Post-mortem Democracy which humiliates in Europe the right of the nations, which
destroys their identity and their culture, which impoverishes their soul and
their patrimony and know claims for a one thousand years of war everywhere? Even
the readers of Le Monde understand that? But where are we?
Of course we have some useful idiots, some damned
humanitarian beautiful souls who ask for an intervention before it is too late,
IE before we have to go to war with Russia and China! As a great screenwriter
said once, “a jerk is ready for anything; you will recognize him at this
trait.”
But let us not exaggerate. The French readers of
Le Monde are not that happy with the mad agenda of our warmongers and petty
philosophers. And that is a good beginning, even for France and the Middle
East.
