- For French
President François Hollande, the enemy is an abstraction:
"terrorism" or "fanatics".
- Instead, the
French president reaffirms his determination to military actions abroad:
"We are going to reinforce our actions in Syria and Iraq,"
the president said
after the Nice attack.
- So confronted
with this failure of our elite who were elected to guide the country
across nationals and internationals dangers, how astonishing is it
if paramilitary groups are organizing themselves to retaliate?
- "Western
elites, with a suicidal obstinacy, oppose naming the enemy.
Confronted with attacks in Brussels or Paris, they prefer to imagine
a philosophical fight between democracy and terrorism, between an
open society and fanaticism, between civilization and
barbarism". -- Mathieu Bock-Côté, sociologist, in Le Figaro
- In France, the
global elites made a choice. They decided that the "bad"
voters in France were unreasonable people too stupid to see the
beauties of a society open to people who often who do not want to
assimilate, who want you to assimilate to them, and who
threaten to kill you if you do not.
- Similarly, the
British took the first tool that was given to them to express their
disappointment at living in a society they did not like anymore.
They did not vote to say: "Kill all these Muslims who are
transforming my country or stealing my job or soaking up my
taxes". They were just protesting a society that a global elite
had begun to transform without their consent.
- The global
elite made a choice: they took the side against their own old and
poor because those people did not want to vote for them any longer.
They also made a choice not to fight Islamism because Muslims vote
collectively for this global elite.

"We are on the verge of a civil war." That quote did not
come from a fanatic or a lunatic. No, it came from head of France's
homeland security, the DGSI (Direction générale de la sécurité
intérieure), Patrick Calvar. He has, in fact, spoken of the risk of a
civil war many times. On July 12th, he warned a commission of
members of parliament, in charge of a survey about the terrorist attacks
of 2015, about it.
In May 2016, he delivered almost the same message to another
commission of members of parliament, this tme in charge of national
defense. "Europe," he said, "is in danger. Extremism is on
the rise everywhere, and we are now turning our attention to some
far-right movements who are preparing a confrontation".
What kind of confrontation? "Intercommunity
confrontations," he said -- polite for "a war against
Muslims." "One or two more terrorist attacks," he added,
"and we may well see a civil war."
