VIDEO: "Entryism?" What it is and why the French call it criminal

"Entryism" is a strategy involving the deliberate infiltration of institutions to reshape them from within. We see it all the time as Islamists, Sikhs and other anti-Christian, anti-Western types get themselves elected to our local councils, state/provincial and federal legislatures, and, most dangerously, our school boards. This is how the invaders are taking over our countries.

The French cheese-eating surrender monkeys (who do have a commendable xenophobic streak) have had enough! A recent report identified numerous mosques and community organizations linked to this takeover strategy, the French National Assembly to pass legislation that penalizes efforts to subvert republican institutions. 

As Dr Steve Turley explains in this video, this move represents a historic confrontation with Islamist influence in France, marking a pivotal shift in the country's approach to national security and cultural.integrity.

Can we expect to see similar counter-invasion legislation in the AABC countries? Walt wouldn't bet on anything of the kind being proposed in Not-so-great Britain or Canuckistan, which seem to have given up, but there is hope for Australia, and, as Dr Steve explains, much hope for the United States of America. Let us pray....

"You don't understand! It's part of our culture!"

Under the headline "Afghan Facing Trial for Raping Goats and Sheep", the European Conservative reports that a 19-year-old follower of the Prophet, a "refugee" from Afghanistan, is set to stand trial in France after being accused of repeatedly abusing goats and sheep near Marseille. 

The suspect was arrested on the night of 10 April 10th by the anti-crime brigade in the municipality of Les Pennes-Mirabeau, following a series of incidents reported by livestock owners. 

Since early 2026, farmers had reported finding various injured animals, all showing signs of sexual abuse. Some animals were found with their legs bound. In an effort to identify the perpetrator, owners installed motion-activated cameras on their land. 

The footage, which showed a young man approaching the herds, was later used by police to identify and apprehend the suspect. The accused has been placed in custody and faces charges related to acts of cruelty against domestic animals, which carry a potential sentence of up to three years in prison and a €45,000 fine.

Thanks to the good folks at Blazing Cat Fur for alerting us to this one!

Whatever you do, don't fart!

Bonbshell news from France th is weekend! Late Saturday night, a 24-year-old man was rushed to the Rangueil Accident and Emergency unit in Toulouse,  "in a state of extreme discomfort, having inserted a large object up his rectum.’ 

An evacuation of the hospital was ordered with seconds, when the large object was discovered to be a World War I artillery shell, still live after all these years. A spokesthing for the authorities told the meeja "Emergency surgery was carried out, and the object was found to be an artillery shell dating back to the First World War. Worse still, it had not exploded, and so bomb disposal experts had to be called to diffuse the shell, with the fire brigade standing by."

Staff and patients were evacuated and a security perimeter was set up around the accident and emergency unit, before the pointed 1918 shell, which was almost 8 inches long and just over an inch in circumference, was declared safe.

The patient, a French national, was set to be interviewed by police this week. Inspector Clouseau of the Toulouse gendarmerie said prosecutors were contemplating legal action against the patient for "handling 'category A munitions."

There was no initial explanation as to why the shell ended up in the man’s body, but local media speculated that "it might have had something to do with his social life."

La Dépêche newspaper writes that medical staff in Toulouse are "accustomed to treating victims injured during sexual games." Shells such as the one found in the patient's nether regions turn up regularly in the fields of France in the so-called "Iron Harvest"’ – the annual collection of often unexploded ordnance from the two world wars found on farmland, building sites, and other disrupted land.

The ongoing "deculturation of Europe" can only result in the destruction of Western civilzation

Ray Oliver Dreher Jr, aka Rod Dreher, is an American conservative writer and editor living in Hungary. He is a critic of large-scale immigration to the US of A and Europe, and a staunch defender of  the concept of Western civilization.

Mr Dreher has been condemned by the usual suspects for his on Jean Raspail's 1973 novel The Camp of the Saints. To be fair, he strongly criticized the novel's use of derogatory language to describe non-Westerners and called the book bad, both aesthetically and morally. But he also referred to the "valuable" and "prophetic" lessons that can be drawn from the work, including from Raspail's argument, which Dreher presents as potentially correct, that "the only way to defend Western civilization from these invaders [non-Western immigrants] is to be willing to shed their blood."

He refers again to M Raspail's book in his diary entry published October 12th, headed Role Of Church Elites In Europe's Suicide. The subhead: "Christians Cannot Afford To Trust Ecclesial Leaders To Defend The Faith". A big thank-you to BCF for directing us to the Substack post, from which we take this excerpt:

...we all heard a speech by Thibault de Montbrial...[who] has a new book coming out in France next week, about what he regards as his country's "emergency" situation.... He warned that western Europeans should prepare themselves for mass violence at the level the continent...hasn’t seen since the end of World War II. That is to say (though he didn’t use this term), civil wars.... 

He explained that Islamists have managed to infiltrate both public and private institutions all over Europe, and are using it to their advantage. How did all this happen? 

De Montbrial, a practicing Catholic, said that the core of the problem is cultural — namely, that France (and Europe) has lost all sense of who and what it is. It has forgotten its past, and any sense of connection to it, and has lost its identity. (This is what Renaud Camus calls “The Great Deculturation”).

How do you expect young people to resist people (Muslims) who are hostile to Western civilization, and who have a strong culture, if you have produced a generation, or generations, of people who have no culture? 

[De Montbrial] said that in France, Muslim activists are even succeeding in winning over the hearts and minds of no small number of native-born French, by telling them, basically: "Look around you at what a nihilistic, pornified disaster modern Europe has become. Is that really what you want? Convert, join the ummah, and gain a story. Become part of the glorious march through history of the sons and daughters of the Prophet." It works, he said....

This, he went on, is why though France and other European countries have to use legal, political, and law enforcement means to fight this stuff, the core of the struggle is cultural. If Europe doesn’t recover its sense of history and culture, and in a meaningful way, such that its people are willing to fight to defend it, all will be lost.

A subsequent speaker made the point more explicit: at the heart of culture is cult, or religion. Either Europe re-Christianizes, or it Islamizes. There is no stable third option.

"Hard right" close to taking power in Netherlands (and Europe)

After a decade of swelling anger over mass immigration, housing, and the brutal cost of living, nationalist parties are poised to take power across Europe.

In 2021, countries like Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Belgium were governed by politicians who had led western Europe in the familiar, moderate style that had predominated there since the end of WWII. Upstart nationalists were gaining ground, but were largely excluded from governing coalitions, and seen as troublemakers rather than serious players. It has taken them just four years to go from the margins to the cusp of leading the continent's largest economies. 

Now it is the establishment that is floundering on the brink of irrelevance as populists and nationalists evolve into the first choice for conservatives, angry youth, and those who feel like the traditional parties do not work for them. What started as protest votes have evolved into a permanent political force.

The Dutch will vote this month in a snap election, and the nationalist right will likely once again emerge as the largest force in the country's politics. It has been just two years since the last election in the Netherlands, in which the Party for Freedom (PVV) led by Geert Wilders won the most seats in the Dutch parliament.

The PVV is staunchly nationalist, and defined by opposition to mass immigration and multiculturalism. Following the 2023 election, the PVV formed a rickety government with the other parties on the condition that Mr Wilders would not become prime minister, only for the agreement to collapse earlier this year. 

According to current polls, the once-dominant People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), a moderate centre-right party, is poised for its weakest showing since the 1970s. Electorally, it is hardly a threat to the PVV anymore, whose greatest competition on the right is coming from JA21, another right-wing nationalist party. 

Combined, the PVV and JA21 are projected to win nearly half the seats in the Dutch parliament. In Europe’s proportional electoral systems, where parties must negotiate alliances to have a working majority, attempting to keep those parties out of power in 2025 is a stalling tactic that is delaying the inevitable.

The top issues for voters in the Netherlands are housing, immigration, and health care, with climate change plummeting as a top priority from around 30 per cent of the electorate in 2023, to just about 19 per cent today. Frustrations over migration have burst out of the realm of regular politics, with anti-immigration riots breaking out in The Hague, causing tens of thousands of euros worth of damage to the parliamentary complex there.

In February, Mr Wilders wrote on social media, "The biggest threat is that for decades we have welcomed people from other parts of the world where violence, inequality and lack of freedom dominate, with open borders and mass immigration in Europe, that we have accepted, facilitated and praised the refusal to integrate and adapt to the rules of our own society."

The inability or unwillingness of the EU’s political establishment to meaningfully tackle mass immigration or the cost of living has cost them their legitimacy, as well as the trust of ordinary citizens. Furthermore, the sheer influx of new people via immigration has strained the housing supply of most Dutch cities. Rent hikes and shrinking disposable incomes have been the result, making the Netherlands into one of the most unaffordable countries in Europe. 

A similar set of issues in France has resulted in the mass rejection of the established parties of the left and right. The traditional Gaullist conservatives are edging towards irrelevance, after dominating French politics for much of the 20th century. Disaffected blue-collar workers, young people, and frustrated conservatives have shifted en masse to the National Rally (RN), a right wing nationalist party that has gained in every election since 2007. 

European economies are largely stagnant or declining. A shrinking share of the shrinking pie is being eaten up by more and more people from outside the EU, and voters who feel crowded out on housing, wages, and basic services want politicians who prioritize their interests. 

In Germany, the populist Alternativ für Deutschland (AfD) became the second largest party in elections earlier this year, and is now polling first in political surveys. In Britain, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK is on-track to sweep aside both the Labour and Conservative parties, with his party winning city by-elections in previous Labour strongholds like Cardiff.

Wherever populist nationalism rises in Europe, the story is the same. Parties that voters could once trust to manage their economies and societies have not satisfied concerns over immigration and rising expenses of merely living in Europe, and they are paying the price. These are not the gentle, consensus-based politics that defined Europe for so long, but the results of people feeling unheard and neglected. More “consensus” is simply a shield for further decline, and millions of Europeans are not going to reward failure any longer.

VIDEO: "Allahu akbar!" in Marseille

We have an interesting example today of the cognitive dissonance between what we see with our eyes and what the mainstream media -- woke or (as we used to say) politically correct that they are -- tell us. First let's see the video.

Now here's the story, as reported by virtually all the major Western media.

A man who went on a stabbing rampage in the southern French city of Marseille injured at least five people before he was shot dead by police, authorities said. 

Local prosecutor Nicolas Bessone said that the attack was carried out on Tuesday afternoon by a Tunisian national with legal residency status. Bessone said that the suspect had been expelled from his hotel for not paying his rent. He returned armed with two knives and a baton, first attacking someone in the room he had previously occupied. He then attacked the hotel manager before turning on the manager’s son and stabbing him in the back. 

One of the victims stabbed at the hotel was in a critical condition and the other two were also seriously wounded. Customers chased him away from the restaurant on Cours Belsunce, a few minutes' walk from the Old Port. Police then arrived at the scene where they opened fire with a taser and guns. 

The prosecutor added that the man, who he described as a Tunisian national who was legally resident in France but known to police, continued his rampage in a nearby snack bar and in the streets, trying to injure people at random, before he was "neutralised" by police. He said the investigation was in its early stages and that the motive of the assailant was not known.

And that's all we're told. The perp isn't named but your dollar will get five of Walt's if he's not a "Mohammed". He's legally resident in France, they say, but how he came to France is not disclosed? Is he a "refugee" or asylum-seeker from peaceful Tunisia? 

 And what about his religion? If he's not "Mohammed" by name, he is certainly Mohammedan -- a follower of the Prophet, a Muslim -- by religion. This is relevant because, according to a hard right news source, the "religious and incoherent things" mentioned in the video caption included... wait for it... "Allahu akbar!"

Of course it wouldn't do for the lickspittle media to say that. Mustn't stoke the fires of Islamophobia. But guess what? The common people of France (and all the other countries overrun by the Islamic hordes) have already figured it out. The only problem is that the common people have no control over the liberal governments who protect and coddle the terrorists they have allowed into our countries.

France braces for another wave of Muslim "refugees"

[Cue theme music from Twilight Zone.] Imagine, if you will, that the population of your country is, by fiat of the United Nations (read: One World Government), increased by over 3%... overnight! Imagine too that all the newcomers don't speak your language, worship your God, or share your values. And they expect you to welcome them, feed them, house them, and ensure that they have a standard of living equal to that you've worked for all your life. 

If you live in France, what you're imagining could seen be your reality, as France's National Court of Asylum (CNDA) ruled yesterday that all Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip will be eligible for the first time to apply for asylum in France.

The CNDA ruled in favour of a Palestinian mother, a Muslim, who sought asylum in France in the wake of the October 7th terror attacks on Israel, for which other Muslims -- the Islamist Hamas -- were responsible. Makes sense, eh? Errr, maybe not. The court said the "war methods"” of the Israeli Defence Force in Gaza -- not the Islamists but the Israelis -- were "serious enough to be regarded as methods of persecution."

According to Le Figaro, the case paved the way for the CNDA to declare that all Palestinians living in Gaza should be entitled to asylum protection in France. All of them. All 2.2 million!

The court based its decision on the Geneva Convention, which says that people who face "persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion," should be considered "refugees". The court specifically cited the supposed persecution based on "nationality" faced by Palestinians in Gaza, even though France, like most other nations, doesn't recognize Palestine as a state. 

Nevertheless, the judges said that they possessed the "characteristics" of a nationality, which according to the Convention include belonging to a "group determined by its cultural, ethnic or linguistic identity, common geographical or political origins or its relationship with the population of another state." Those lawyers sure have a way with words, don't they.

While the ruling is novel in declaring that all Palestinians are "persecuted" by the evil Israelis, legal experts noted that it would likely only impact around 20% of the population of Gaza. Why? Because 80% of the "Gazans" are already classified as "refugees" by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA)and are therefore already eligible for protection in France.

 Although the ruling was hailed by leftist groups such as Amnesty International, others expressed concern about allowing more Palestinians into France. One of the skeptics is Henda Ayari, a former Muslim turned anti-Islamist activist and female rights campaigner, who said, "While France is already grappling with explosive community tensions, it chooses today to unconditionally welcome refugees from Gaza, even though more than 30 Muslim countries refuse to take them in."

"Why," Ms Ayari asks, "should France, once again, play the role of humanitarian substitute while others categorically refuse to host these populations in their countries? We're talking about a region where Hamas recruits, where Islamist ideology and anti-Semitic, anti-Western hatred are deeply rooted, where many celebrated the massacres of October 7. 

"We cannot pretend to believe that they are all 'innocent victims.' Some of these individuals who will arrive in France may have participated in, supported, or condoned terrorism. And tomorrow? They will be housed, fed, and supported at the expense of French taxpayers… while our retirees are dying and our neighbourhoods are exploding."

A slogan for the coming elections

If you're white (like Walt!) and have children and grandchildren (like Walt!), you're probably worried (or should be!) about what the future holds for your progeny... and offspring too. 

Pierre-Nicolas Nups of le Parti de lad France (the Party of France), a rightist grouping allied with Marine Le Pen in Sunday's election, has unveiled a poster which you may want to adapt for use in the November election for the presidensity, and the next election in Canuckistan. (It's got to happen sometime.) How do you like this?

For those4 unfamiliar with the language of Molière, the text reads "Let's give a future to white children". 

The pinko mayor of Neuves-Maisons, where M Nups is running, calls the poster... wait for it... "racist" and has threatened M Nups with persecution prosecution. To which the candidate replied, "I approved this poster. It is neither sectarian nor exclusive. On the contrary, it delivers a positive message, a message of hope for our youth, and nothing else. And if anyone sees anything else in it, it would be a malicious interpretation."*

Nous lui souhaitons bonne chance!

Note from Ed.: Walt is making popcorn in anticipation of tomorrow's rigged non-debate. CNN has nailed the puck firmly to Senile Joe's still, but can Hunter's dad remember the shtick? Walt will give his thoughts on Friday, if he's awake by then.

The world's oldest automobile, still running after 140 years

Many thanks to Agent 6 for sending us photos and information on this 1884 motor vehicle, the oldest automobile still in running order. And guess what? It's not an early experiment by Henry Ford. It's French!

This steam-powered "Two by Two" was built in 1884 by Georges Bouton and Charles-Armand Trépardoux, according to plans made by the Count of Dion, who gave it the name "La Marquise" (his mother's noble title). The engine, known now as the De Dion-Bouton, is considered the first high-speed lightweight internal combustion engine. It has since been licensed to over 150 manufacturers worldwide.

In 1887, with the Count himself at the "tiller" (the steering device), "La Marquise" won the first automobile race from le Pont de Neuilly in Paris to Versailles and return, a distance of 20 miles, which the winner covered in one hour and 14 minutes, with an average speed of around 15 mph. A contemporary report said the car reached a straight-line speed of 40 mph!

"La Marquise" has had four owners, staying in one family for 81 years. She waqs restored twice, first by the Doriol family, then, in the early 1990s, by an English collector named Tom Moore. After that last restoration, she participated four times in the London-Brighton race. In 1997, she won the gold medal in the Pebble Beach concours d'élégance.

Most recently, "La Marquise" changed hands at an auction in Pennsylvania $4.62 million (including taxes). Walt wishes her (and her owners) a still longer life!

Happy Bastille Day

To Emmanuel Macron and all the other post-national Frenchmen and dames, our old friend Jacques Untel says: Are you happy now?

French presidential election: hold your applause

Ed. here. I was a little late getting in this morning, and failed to prevent Walt from committing the grave sin of combining two topics into one post. The Michael Matt video about Viktor Orbán and the "Current Thing" should have been separated from the preceding thoughts on yesterday's French election. For readers who went right to the video without reading what came before, here's what Walt had to say about the results... and what he thinks will happen on April 24th.

Frenchmen and women voted yesterday in the first round of the election for the preisdency of the French Republic. Walt rejoiced (see previous post) when Marine Le Pen fnished a strong second to "Effete Emmanuel" Macron, whom she will now face in the runoff election on April 24th. 

However, I must warn you, dear readers, to be careful how you bet. A superficial analysis of yesterday's result suggests that Mme Le Pen would have finished first, but for the candidacy of the extremist Eric Zemmour, who got a little over 7% of the vote. 

You would think his supporters would go to Mme Le Pen in the runoff. That would be fine, except that it would give Mme Le Pen about 31% of the vote, which would be far from enough to win a straight two-way fight. 

The likelihood of large numbers of centrists, leftists and Communists moving into the National Rally camp is slim. More likely is an ABLP coalition which would push M Macron into the Élysée Palace for a second term -- just as it did in 2015. Walt will be hoping (and praying!) otherwise, but betting? Nooooo....

VIDEO: Michael Matt rails against "the Current Thing"

Before we get into the latest episode of The Remnant Underground, a word about yesterday's French election. Frenchmen and women [and "others"? Ed.] voted in the first round of the election for the presidency of the French Republic. Walt rejoiced (see previous post) when Marine Le Pen fnished a strong second to "Effete Emmanuel" Macron, whom she will now face in the runoff election on April 24th.

However, I must warn you, dear readers, to be careful how you bet. The likelihood of large numbers of centrists, leftists and Communists moving into the National Rally camp is slim. More likely is an ABLP coalition which would push M Macron into the Élysée Palace for a second term -- just as it did in 2015. Walt will be hoping (and praying!) otherwise, but betting? Nooooo....

 

Now then, about the video. Michael Matt, editor of the Remnant newspaper, doesn't talk about the French election, because it was unfolding as he was recording this episode. He does, however,  discuss the victory of Viktor Orbán, who last week, against all odds (and opposition from the entire Soros machine), won a fourth term as Prime Minister of Hungary.

"Did you hear about that (Mr Matt asks)? No? Maybe that’s because they don’t want us to know about that. If we think of Orbán at all, the media will help us to think of him not as a family man and father of five beautiful children, but rather as a goose-stepping Nazi who’s coming to take us away, oh my! So, what’s Orbán all about, and what does his stunning victory portend?"

Mr Matt analyses "the Current Thing" as defined by G.K. Chesterton a hundred years ago. "What is the Current Thing (Mr Matt asks) and how is it being used – from Covid to Ukraine – to create 'right thinking' throughout the world and to punish anyone who questions the current narrative." He uses the media misinformation about Viktor Orbán to make his case that we're being lied to about a lot of things going on in the world today, including and especially the war in Ukraine. He says it's time to wake up!

Walt joins Mr Matt in wishing all our readers a miserable Holy Week.

Aux Français! Votez aujoud'hui pour la France!

Polls have been open for over six  hours now for the first round of the French presidential election. President Emmanuel Macron, a member of the champagne liberal elite if ever there was one, is facing a strong challenge from National Rally leader Marine Le Pen, running a close second in the latest polls. Jean-Luc Melenchon, tribune of the loony left, is a distant third.

Difficult as this may be for Americans to understand, France operates a manual system for elections. Voters are required to present themselves in person, with photo ID. They place their ballots in envelopes which are then sealed and deposited in plexiglass ballot boxes. Once the polls close, votes will be counted by hand. What a concept!

With populist Viktor Orban winning a fourth consecutive term as Hungary's prime minister days ago, the eyes of the world -- or of Europe, at least -- have now turned to France's resurgent right, especially Mme Le Pen, who wants to ban Muslim headscarves in streets and halal and kosher butchers, and drastically reduce immigration from outside Europe. 

The French election has the potential to reshape the country's tarnished identity and indicate whether European populism is ascendant or in decline. Stay tuned. And if you're a French citizen, get out and vote for France!

UPDATE ADDED at 1320. Summary of BBC reports shows...

* Firm projections suggest Emmanuel Macron will face a run-off against Marine Le Pen in the second round of France's presidential election, to be held on April 24th. 

* M Macron comes first with 28.4% of the vote while Mme Le Pen receives 23.4%, according to national broadcaster France Télévision.

* Left-wing leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon comes in third place with about 20% of the votes.

* M Macron is addressing supporters in Paris. Mme Le Pen earlier vowed to put France "in order".

Multicult fails, France heading for civil war, sez former intelligence chief

"All my accumulated experiences make me foresee a dark, and even very dark, future for our children and grandchildren." That's what Pierre Brochand, the former director of DGSE, France’s top intelligence agency, told Le Figaro in an interview published on March 24th.

The interview is in French (of course) and is behind a paywall, so we're quoting from a translation posted on Remix News, a trustworthy site for European news. Their summary is headed: France's former intelligence chief warns against possible civil war due to mass immigration.

The stone truth which the people of western Europe and North America recognized -- but which their woke liberal leaders won't acknowledge -- is that the mass immigration of unassimilable racial and religious minorities is destroying our societies and our countries. As M Brochand puts it,  "All 'multicultural' societies are doomed to more or less deep rifts. In such a situation, it happens that minorities are violent winners, and majorities placid losers."

According to the former DGSE head, there is so much talk about immigration in France today because it is "increasingly difficult to prevent the French from seeing what they see" -- scenes of urban guerrilla warfare, fights between police officers trying to enforce the law and violent multi-recidivist criminals that were the initial cause of riots, shootings, and arson, as well as ambushes set up against the police squads called in as reinforcements.

M Brochand goes on to say that "a breakthrough personality has suddenly appeared in the formulaic world of politics that has encouraged them to open their eyes." He is referring to Éric Zemmour, who has succeeded in placing immigration at the heart of the current campaign for the presidency of the French Republic. Polls show an overwhelming majority opposed to immigration.

Although M Zemmour has succeeded in fixing voters' focus on the immigration issue, the more moderate Marine Le Pen, leader of the Front National, looks like the choice of conservative voters in the election to be held later this month. An Ipsos Sopra Steria Cevipof poll for Le Monde showed the small-but-perfectly-formed incumbent, Emmanuel Macron, would lead in the first round of votes on April 10th, with 26.5% versus 21.5% for Mme Le Pen. In the April 24th run-off, the pollsters say M Macron would beat Mme Le Pen by 54% to 46%. QED.

The Remix News article notes that Éric Zemmour is drawing the biggest crowds to his election rallies, and breaking audience records during his television appearances? Ironically, it may be M Zemmou's "unacceptable views" which make Mme Le Pen look like a moderate by contrast, although they both advocate the same solution for which M Brochand argues. "If we really want to regain control over our demography, we have no other choice than to make a 180-degree turnaround, that is to say, to send the message, loud and clear, that France will no longer be, for the foreseeable future, a welcoming country. This implies a global approach to the problem and unabated resolve in its implementation."

M Brochand goes so far as to warn that if Emmanuel Macron is re-elected and France does not radically change its policy, a civil war is on the horizon. "I hold the type of immigration, which we have been experiencing for half a century, to be an event 'out of category', without precedent in our history. And, quite honestly, I confess that I do not understand how free and enlightened minds can still underestimate its seriousness."

In order to see the seriousness of it, he explains, "one just needs to enumerate coldly its characteristics" and look at "the impact of what is happening to us." He points to the massive immigration flows, the type of immigration, with mostly migrant settlers, the "absence of political and economic regulation," the fact immigrants are mostly Muslims from outside Europe, their "spirit of post-colonial revenge," their "reluctance to mix" with the French, their "preference for endogamy," their "crystallization in diasporas," their fertility rate (higher than that of the French), and above all their "non-convergent evolution over generations," i.e. the fact that younger generations born of immigrants are "even less integrated with French society than their parents." 

For the former head of French intelligence, "this gradual upheaval of the French population, if not the only challenge we face, is the only one that directly threatens civil peace on our territory."

Le Figaro asked M Brochand if it's already too late to avert the destruction of French society. He answered, "It is very late. Let us face it: We are no longer dealing with dispersed individuals, that is to say, so many 'special cases', but with diasporas -- entities formed by immigrants and their descendants...who are grouped together and whose numbers reach a critical mass sufficient for social pressure to encourage the perpetuation of the beliefs and ways of life of the countries of origin, with which relations remain tense. This way, more or less closed foreign enclaves are spontaneously formed that turn their backs on the host country and its customs."

Sadly, M Brochand is very pessimistic about his country's future: "While I refuse to give up hope, I do not have too much illusion either about the possibility of the authorities regaining control over immigration flows. When we see that the program of the incumbent president, who is running for his re-election, continues to superbly ignore the subject, one cannot but reflect on how much history can be inescapable and irreversible, even when it leads us straight to the greatest misfortunes. 

"All my accumulated experiences make me foresee a dark, and even very dark, future for our children and grandchildren. At best, they are heading toward an unsuspected collapse of their quality of life (an implosion); at worst, we are leading them to terrible confrontations (an explosion)...." 

"Allahu akbar!" - Algerian stabs French cop "in the name of the Prophet"

News of attacks on Europeans by would-be jihadis is so commonplace that I don't even try to post all the incidents. There was one somewhere in Europe last week in which a civilian was wounded by a Muslim wielding a knife, but it was just the one victim, who the "authorities" said was mentally unstable, yada yada yada, so no biggie. But today it's a cop, so I guess that rates a report. 

From the French city of Cannes, famous for its film festival, comes news that police have shot "a man" who attacked a group of them with a knife. One against many doesn't seem like a good idea, but no-one ever said these Islamic extremists were rational. 

Quite the contrary. What's unusual about this case is that security sources have told the meeja that the attack appears to have been motivated by Islamist terrorism. Inspector Clouseau of the local gendarmerie said the attacker claimed to have been acting "in the name of the Prophet." No kidding! 

 The attacker, a 37-year-old Algerian who reportedly got into Italy as a "refugee", opened the door of a police car stationed in front of the Cannes central police station, before stabbing the officer in the driver's seat. He then tried to attack a second policeman in the vehicle but a third officer fired his weapon, seriously injuring the attacker. Sounds to me like a defence of insanity might be mounted, but that's wearing a little thin. 

The attack coincides with the trial of Salah Abdeslam, the only surviving member of an ISIS cell responsible for the killing of 130 people in gun and bomb attacks on entertainment venues in Paris in November of 2015. Worries over violent crime and terrorism -- almost always the work of Islamic extremists welcomed into Europe as "refugees" and asylum-seekers -- feature among voters' main concerns in the run-up to the 2022 French presidential election. 

Thank goodness Americans and Canadians don't have to worry about Islamic extremists being allowed into their countries by too-liberal governments. Oh... wait...

French politics: Is Marine Le Pen going to get "out-niggered"?

In my usual coherent fashion, I will begin this update on prospects for the French presidential election, coming next May, with a story about the 45th governor of the great state of Alabama, George Corley Wallace, Jr. 

Mr Wallace served as a member of the Alabama House of Representatives and later as judge in the Third Judicial Circuit Court, hence  his nickname "the Little Judge". He was known as a moderate on racial issues, and was associated with the progressive, liberal faction of Alabama politics.

During his first campaign for the governorship in 1958, Mr Wallace spoke out against the Ku Klux Klan, and although he endorsed segregation his centrist views won him the support of the NAACP. In contrast, his opponent John Patterson accepted the endorsement of the Ku Klux Klan and made racial issues a major part of his campaign.

Mr Patterson won the race for governor by a large margin. After this defeat, the Little Judge determined that in order to be elected governor he would have to change his position on racial issues, and told one of his campaign officials, "I was out-niggered by John Patterson. And I'll tell you here and now, I will never be out-niggered again." And he wasn't!

What (I hear you ask) does this have to do with French politics? Just this. Until recently, Walt's favourite Frenchperson, Marine Le Pen, leader of the conservative/populist Rassemblement National (National Rally), looked a good bet to defeat the incumbent President Macron, if not in the first round, then in the second, which includes only the two candidates who got the most votes in the earlier round. See "Referendum on immigration? What a novel idea!", WWW 10/10/21. 

But suddenly another contender has emeerged, from even deeper in right field. Behold Éric Zemmour, described by the controlled media as "a Donald Trump-like TV pundit". M Zemmour has not officially announced his candidacy, but has been organizing Trump-style rallies, and is expected to throw his chapeau into the ring very soon.

Éric Zemmour is considered even more right-wing than Mme Le Pen, who has noticebly softened some of the RN rhetoric, in an attempt to appeal to more moderate voters. M Zemmour, on the other hand, does not shy from calling a spade a spade. 

According to the Financial Times, he has been convicted twice of "racial or religious provocation", and has just published a book on the sujbect of national identity, La France n'a pas dit son dernier mot, which has sold 100,000 copies in the first week.

According to respected journalist Yves Mamou, M Zemmour represents the France of yesteryear: the France of Napoleon, Notre Dame de Paris and General Charles de Gaulle, a France that does not want to become an Islamic Republic. He often says "the danger for France is to become a second Lebanon," by which he means a country fragmented between sectarian communities that hate and fear one another.

M Zemmour (still quoting M Mamou) is the man who broke through the glass ceiling to insert into the media discussion topics such as "immigration" and "jihad" -- which no one had ever dared to talk about publicly. He is a man who embodies the fear of seeing traditional France -- the one of church steeples and the "baguette" -- disappear under the blows of jihad and political correctness.

The meteoric rise of Zemmour has had a second effect: he has broken a degrading electoral trap in which the French people are stuck: dividing the right to prevent them from returning to power. From the middle of the eighties until now, the media and the left, together, manufactured an industrial-strength shame-machine to stigmatize as "racist" and "Nazi" anyone who dared to raise his voice on issues of immigration.

M Mamou concludes: The Zemmour fight is just beginning. One thing, however, is certain: Zemmour is restoring an authentic democratic debate about topics -- security, immigration, Islam -- that really matter to the French. 

He's right about that, but I'm not so sure about his assertion that M Zemmour has broken the electoral trap, the splitting of the conservative/rightist vote. According to Politico's Poll  of Polls, President Macron is currently polling around 24%, with Mme Le Pen at 16% and M Zemmour at 15%. That sure looks like a split to me!

If only one candidate presented a real alternative to M Macron and his centre-left, one-world policies, he could be defeated. If that candidate were to be M Zemmour, there is the added problem that he's on his own. Without a primary system such as obtains in the US of A, he cannot take the leadership of the RN away from Mme Le Pen. He would be a "party of one".

If M Zemmour runs as an independent, all he can do is "out-nigger" Mme Le Pen, to the detriment of both of them and another seven years in opposition for those who represent the France of de Gaulle. Tant pis pour eux. Tant pis pour la France!

Referendum on immigration? What a novel idea!

How would you vote, dear reader, if you were allowed by your country's political elites to vote in a referendum on how many immigrants (if any) your country should "welcome"? Would you vote for Biden-style open borders? Or would you say "None is too many!"? 

But you won't get to express your opinion at the ballot box, will you? Not in the AABC countries -- America, Australia, Britain and Canada -- whose leaders pay lip service to "the will of the people", but don't want to know about it, when it conflicts with their plans for the New World Order.

If you live in France, however, you may be able to have your say next year.  Marine Le Pen, leader of the Rassemblement National (National Rally), has promised that if she is elected president in 2022, she will call a referendum proposing drastic limits on immigration.

The question will be, "Do you approve of the Citizenship Identity and Immigration bill that will present a comprehensive immigration control plan?"

Mme Le Pen told the meeja that the referendum would propose a complete draft bill that would drastically regulate immigration. Her plan would impose strict criteria for entering French territory and for acquiring French nationality. As well, French citizens would have priority access to social housing, jobs and social security benefits. "Refugees" and asylum-seekers would go to the back of the line. Imagine that!

In addition, her plan would facilitate more deportations, and require applications for asylum to be made overseas. The last point is something that has been discussed previously by the Danish government in recent months, with the Danish parliament voting for a proposal in June that could see asylum claims processed in asylum reception centres abroad.

Mme Le Pen also vowed to halt family reunification migration also known as "chain migration", which often accounts for a large number of migrants accepted every year in various countries such as Sweden where they outnumber new asylum claims. Her plan also includes the end of birthright citizenship, by which a child born of foreign parents is automatically granted citizenship for being born within the country where the mother happens to be at the time of birth.

In 2017, Mme Le Pen made it to the second round of the presidential election, but was defeated by the  "centrist" Emmanuel Macron. Little Emmanuel has not yet said whether he will stand for re-election, but opinion polls show him and Mme Le Pen as the likely two candidates to make it through to the second round, with M Macaroon seen as the eventual winner. Of course pollsters, being part of the controlled media, have been known to fudge the numbers to paint the liberal candidate as a shoo-in over the "extremist".

It must be said, though, that the situation has become complicated this month by a possible presidential run of right-wing talk-show star Eric Zemmour, who could split the far-right vote and allow a centre-right challenger to face M Macron. While he has yet to formally declare his candidacy, the conservative writer and pundit has seen a surge in popularity, according to a report from Reuters. 

A Harris Interactive poll released this week puts him ahead of Mme Le Pen in the first round of next spring's presidential election, with as high as 18% in one scenario, two points ahead of Mme Le Pen but still nine points behind the incumbent Macron. A projected second-round run-off between would put M Zemmour at 45%, to M Macron's 55%. 

But (here's the good news), a second-round vote between Mme Le Pen and M Macron, would be closer. 53% of respondents said they would vote for M Macron in that case, with 47% preferring Mme Le Pen. In today's politics in a country like France, a 6% lead is nothing. One must also allow for the phenomenon observed in the USA, where many voters were reluctant to tell pollsters their intention to vote for the "extremist".

In her presser, Mme Le Pen said that her proposals were "firm but realistic, therefore politically and legally viable and therefore enforceable." She noted that other presidential candidates and potential candidates had adopted firmer stances on immigration as well. 

"I'm not worried," she said. "I am convinced the French people will place us against Emmanuel Macron because we defend very different models of society. He stands for unregulated globalisation, I defend the nation, which remains the best structure to defend our identity, security, freedom and prosperity."

By the numbers: "In 2021, 134,000 foreigners entered the EU clandestinely, 68% more than in 2020. In the central Mediterranean, which particularly affects Italy, we see an 87% increase in landings since the beginning of the year. Arrivals from Libya and Tunisia have doubled. We have recorded 48,000 entries." Source: Fabrice Leggeri, Executive Director of Frontex, the European Union border agency. Reported by Breitbart News, 10/10/21.

"Allahu akbar!" in France - Anus horribilis!

The knife attack in New Zealand (see previous post) wasn't the only one noted in the media today. What follows is a short item seen on Breitbart News. Out of respect for Agent 2, we have avoided using a more common word to describe the orifice from which a Moroccan "irregular migrant" pulled a knife on police in Perpignan, France.

The Moroccan, whose name and religion were not disclosed by Inspector Clouseau, was arrested at Perpignan's main railway station after resisting border police attempts to pat  him down. After being taken to the cop shop, the Moroccan allegedly became aggravated and aggressive, flashing his genitals to female staff members and spitting several times on police officers.

Then, despite having been searched by police, the man managed to pull out a knife that was allegedly hidden in his anus, and threatened to harm himself while pointing the weapon at officers. The officers made attempts to negotiate with the Moroccan, but decided to subdue him with a taser. After the taser failed to have its desired effect, the migrant stabbed himself three times in the abdomen with the knife before he was disarmed.

The police union commented on the incident, as follows: "In recent years, our colleagues have increasingly been the target of hostile behaviour and aggression by foreigners in an irregular situation ready to do anything to avoid their deportation or placement in an administrative detention centre."

Wow! Who could have foreseen that?!

African "refugee" jailed for setting fire to Nantes cathedral is released, stabs priest to death

Disturbing news today from France. Agence France Presse. reports that a Rwandan "refugee" suspected of causing a major fire that ravaged the Nantes cathedral last year murdered Father Olivier Mairein in the Vendée region yesterday.

On his way to the town of Mortagne-sur-Sevre, the scene of the dastardly attack, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin tweeted, "All my support for the Catholics of our country after the dramatic murder of a priest in the Vendee region." The effect was rather spoiled, though, when he answered the question of why the "refugee" was still in France by saying he couldn't be deported "while he was still under judicial control." 

Say what? The man, identified as Emmanuel Abayisenga, from Rwanda, was already under judicial control over a horrific fire at the historic Nantes cathedral in July 2020, to which he had confessed. Apparently the asylum-seeker (for such he was) had been in living in France for several years -- one of the great wave who came via Angela Merkel's Germany in 2015 -- and had worked as a volunteer at the religious community of Mortagne-sur-Sèvre. 

Inspector Clouseau, of the local police, said M Abayisenga had turned up at the police station, saying he had killed a priest. The victim of a brutal stabbing was Fr Olivier Mairein, aged 60, who had sheltered the "refugee" after he was released from arrest following the cathedral fire. 

Marine Le Pen, leader of le Front National, said that in France "you can be an illegal migrant, set fire to a cathedral, not be expelled and then reoffend by murdering a priest." Nothing like that would ever happen in the AABC countries -- America, Australia, Britain, Canada -- would it? Well... would it?!

VIDEO: Michael Matt: The Great Reset is failing, and other good news

Just when you thought the world was going to hell in the proverbial bucket, Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper, weighs in with a compedium of good news. "With mask mandates collapsing all over the country, and Blue state governors losing in court, there's an opportunity to push back against the COVID Stupid."

Mr Matt explains how even France is slowly loosening restrictions, while little Ireland brings up the rear. In fact, post-Catholic Ireland is almost as tyrannical as post-Catholic Canada -- two countries run by little men as maniacal as Joe Stalin but now with the technology to make the Orwell happen.

By the way, he says, "Justin Trudeau est un petit homme extrêmement ennuyeux." Walt knows, personally, scores of Canucks who agree that Mr Socks is a "little snivelling brown-noser" and are much more than annoyed.

The really good news -- "Covid's massive silver lining" -- is that modernist, liberal, progressive Christianity -- especially in the Catholic Church -- has been exposed for the sham that it is, and "is now on life support", while traditionalists are gaining strength and numbers all over the world. 

Mr Matt closes with a truly amazing sign of hope out of Poland, where the Sign the Cross transforms one of the children of darkness into a child of light... all caught on video. Check it out.

   

The Cross of Christ will save the world. 

The Cross of Christ will save you. 

The Cross of Christ will save me. 

The Cross of Christ is the Answer.
