Valérie Trierweiler vs Julie Gayet; Francois Hollande and ... well, Segolene Royal! In Kenya, when [the then] President Kibaki publicly declared he had only one wife, the scandal was which knife Lucy had put to his throat or which drug in his drink, that made him tell such an outrageous lie. Was it not well known you ran out of fingers counting the Mrs. Presidents in town? Intelligence revealed the same day he was declaring his monogamy was the same night he was coming in sin, or should we say, having a marital orgasm with a woman not the first lady? I love tabloid stories. I think they are always great stories, if you can and know how to read them. True revelations of national character pretences. One of my favourites features a who-re called Cleopatra. She unscrewed Ceasar off his his head after arriving naked rolled in a reed-mat, and soon the famous Roman general had killed off all her rivals, her blood brothers, and installed her Queen of all Egypt. ;Queen of his dick'', the Roman senate scoffed, ''She has not just sucked his balls dry, she drained his brains too!'' And not much later, it was another passionate Roman general, Marcus Antonius, to be drained of all options but to fall on his sword. Soon followed by one of history’s most fascinating scenes: two cobras simultaneously sinking their super toxic fangs into the worlds most erectile teats. Warlord [the later long-reigning Ceasar] Augustus they say, was so overcome at the waste of such a cu-nt of who-rish repute that, beside himself with grief, he fell to kiss the breasts of the dead Cleopatra. A quick thinking orderly saved the emperor from certain death. ---Augustus had commissioned a panel of sexual deviants to write a script of acts he would perform on Cleopatra, whom he planned to keep prisoner in his palace in Rome so long he wished. Then that cobra got there first! Damn! Another great tabloid tale to my taste is that of godlike Menelaus the King of Argos. He welcomes prince Paris of Troy to his palace and, pressed elsewhere with state matters, he saddles his horses and off he gallops. Paris, a nuisance of a natural lady-killer, soon charms the hot queen, bangs her brains off and they elope to the ends of the world! Soon the Greeks assemble an unprecedented armada to Troy for a decade of war at whose end Greece begins a steady decline that still lasts to this day! Same as Egypt! How about Henry the 8th of England? He Chops off the head of wife after wife who can not bear a boy heir. Since divorce is forbidden by the [catholic] church, and a heir must be a male, executing his wives is his choice method of divorce, until he realises he can start a new church himself, be its head, kill all the old priests opposed to the new doctrine of reform, and who-re himself the much he wants! A great tabloid tale if you ask me! I think 3000 years from now, when the story of the Gulf wars are told in passing to a class of bored freaks, it will go something like this: Saddam Hussein, a criminal arab by career who had become chief of Iraq, stole the wife of George Bush senior. An American King. The woman had gone fishing in Kuwait where you could swim in oil.
Bush Snr. threatened Saddam with nuclear nukes, and Saddam quickly released Barbara. A few years later, Bush was succeeded by his son Junior. During a meeting, Saddam jabbed his fingers into Jr.’s eye and told him he never knew who his dad was. I and your mum we go along way. Jnr became so angry he killed Saddam, his two sons and grandson. It was a crime of passion with a hint of oedipal rage. Next, the so-called third world war!We who live now have a different narrative of the gulf wars. The future shall have theirs I bet. And with those opening words, I welcome you to our tabloid story in real-time. Francois Hollande of France talking economics for two hours with nobody listening. There were three women in the room, everybody there did their best to pretend them invisible. Sigolene Royal, Valerie Trierweiler, and Julie Gayet Hot, Hotter, Hottest.   From all corners of wine-growing republic they came, from every elite paper, especially the sinking masses of the Liberations, Le Mondes and Le Humanites, they came; from every television channel marooned in an island of sinking viewer ratings because they wont go tabloid, all of France’s interpretative elite gathered attentively at the Elysee palace, 14-01-2014, all to mediate between the president of the republic and his recalcitrant citizens. It is not just the popularity of the president which is sinking, the institute too is under erosion, and the republic, shrinking. Here elite is worried. France is in an eternal economic doldrums, and is now the worst performing boy in the EU class. Historically since these polls began, never has a French president been so unpopular. His hectic military incursions into Africa to save the African from further descent into barbarism have not helped, because everybody knows France can not pay for them, but is merely hiring her troops out to Germany, The Germans are paying for the French to die in Africa. The internet has changed the game. The high-brow press, or media, have always had an omerta. They stayed clear of the tabloid scandals of the high and mighty of France, and their own class, but magnified with scorn the scandals of the lower classes. It worked well, so long they controlled the gathering, flow, filtering and interpretation of information. This is how predators like DSK –formerly of the IMF and PS, could make such ‘’draculean’’ careers and only run into a brick wall in the USA. But with the emergence of the internet, and everybody with a handheld device a content feeder or uploader, that is some kind of journalist, and with no editor between to judge and dose what the consumer should know, a kind of informational anarchy has hit the wired society. So while all France, courtesy of the internet, was giggling over the adventures of their president on a bodaboda taxi, dodging motorists dangerously around town without his official security detail, the ‘’official media’’ did not cover the story. Private, a non story they chorused. Even as the hits on the pictures indicated the whole nation had discovered a hype, the men educated at ECOLE SUPERIEURS held their feet down. Practising total censorship. They found a coloured comedian Dieudonne M’bala M’bala to castigate instead for alleged anti-semitic jokes, eventually cutting off his tongue as they say here. We will define for you what a joke is and what you may tell jokes about! [more about this later]    And there is the injured partner who has since collapsed in shock, and diagnosed with a heart attack. She is incensed and humiliated. Valerie Trierweiler Here is the president on route to ‘’exercising his passion in private’’ as it is called. There are much more street terms I wont indulge for now.  ![]() www.lexpress.fr/pictures/386/197789_francois-hollande-quitte-a-scooter-le-marche-d-ornano-a-paris-le-11-octobre-2011.jpg [/img] And here is the ‘’mobiliser of presidential orgasms’’ as the saying goes! ---the illicit flame or mistress  France does not have an official first lady, leading to jokes about an appeal to South Africa to donate them one! Others say there is enough bedrooms in the Elysee for a record number of first ladies. The late former president Francois [what is in a name] Mitterand kept all his extra wives at the palace during his tenure. He did not like bodaboda or scooter runs around state brothels in Paris. The traffic scared him. To be continued! I love tabloid stories! Imagine what the French troops in godforsaken CAR or Azawad are talking about! ---Is the fifth republic worth dying for in Africa? Yes, on [money] orders from Berlin I suppose.

www.reuters.com/article/2014/01/03/us-france-economy-analysis-idUSBREA020LN20140103 Jan 4 2014. His admiration runs deep for Mitterrand!? Then he should know he can use the Elysee palace as a private brothel or national harem. He need not scurry around Paris in the wee hours, dodging drunken drivers on the prowl for extra pu-ssy. He can have them all-in, at a hands reach so to speak! a walk down the corridor of the presidential palace, have a quick one for the relief, and report back tot the work desk, to pull Great France out of the recession. Poor Francois! It is not an easy one, that task, ask former president Nicolaas Sarkozy. • Earlier on in NOVEMBER 2011 with Turbo Zarko as prezzo: Obviously something went wrong. Since we are back at square one, where we were in 2011. Meanwhile, as the sole locomotive of the EU, Angela Merkels Germany has been moving on, even as second rate European powers like Italy went to play super-powers in desert Kingdoms like Gadaffi’s Libya and Karzai’s Afghanistan. Permit me a small detour, to do a tabloid, since this is a tabloid thread anyway, and government economic policy is just a side show. Well, Sarkozy was not much of a mechanic to retool the economy. He, like his Italian counterpart of bunga-bunga fame, had more success in the imperial bedroom, where, as we have seen, Carla Brunni was successfully ravished and inseminated at the Elysee.  I will believe it when I see it, a tabloid journalist dismissed the reports of the emperors virility. And so the proof was provided here below. Image is everything.  How do we know it was your seed? Nasty tabloid journalists asked, some of them working for a paper later to produce a pretender first lady! Is it not that many a queen at the Elysee has been inseminated by a stable boy!? No? On the economy, Turbo Zarko fired blank after blank, leading the French electorate to fire him and hire Hollande of the PS [Party Soscialiste]. Unfortunately, power has gotten not to Francois head, but to his dick, engorging it and arousing him to such heights that, instead of spending nights working at the rejuvenation of France, his night shifts have all been spent with his head between the legs of his nubile paramour Gayet. [Nubile as Kamalet would say]. So, while Frau Merkel of Germany has, we gather from Obama’s NSA intercepts  , bought a life-size replica of herself, a pop or toy, to entertain her husband while she takes leave to work the whole night at the pre-eminence of Germany as an economic power on the world stage, her French counterpart has been equally busy, not as a twin motor to the European Union juggernaut, but merely as another aspirant to the Hall of Fame where men like Berlusconi of the [bunga-bunga scandals] ride high in honour. Therefore And like a case of revolving doors, we shall come across the following passage[from 2011] verbatim in the reaction to Hollande's latest pitch in 2014. FAST-FORWARD 2014. Huh!? The president finally responded!? I thought Sarkozy had already formed a binding advisory council which Francois HOllande inherited and has been implementing the ideas!? O yeah! he shelved the commission as a right wing, tea-party like aberration!? Or, well, he has been too busy screwing around to take care of state business! So we are where we were, a year before Sarkozy left office. Sarkozy too, had been busier in the bedroom, having dumped his ageing adulterous wife for the sexy and demanding Carla B. These guys have been neglecting the business of the republic, and it shows in the figures, the so-called indicators. www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-25736590

WHAT IS THE QUENELLE?  With football especially the english FA a staple in Kenya, fellow citizens could not have missed the furore/controversy following a certain gesture by Nicolaas Anelka. Nicolaas who? That too, is a name that need not be explained to most Kenyans below the age of 25. I do not know how old the average Jukwaa-phile cyber prowler, but is likely he/she is a profile that never heard of the English FA cup/league, let alone Nicolaas Anelka, nor Westbrom Albion for which he features; nor Man-U, nor Arsenal and Chelsea. These however are household names for which Kenyans have been known to die, and beat their girlfriends savagely for belittling. forward.com/articles/190113/quenelle-creator-dieudonne-mbala-mbala-faces-trial/The whole intellectual construct of modern French republican civilisation has come apart. And woe be I, it has not taken a radical ideological philosopher [like Althuser nor a Jean Paul Sartre nor the pretender Bernard Levy], to deconstruct the official myths underpinning the republican MORAL superiority of the French way, nay, it has taken a comedian to prick and puncture the hyped balloon. And a comedian the elite invariably refers to as ‘’inferior and stupid’’ at that! Hmmm, what happened to Great France! that it became the Great Retard? It was an amazing feat to see officials from the ministry of justice calling provincial judges left and right to ban a comedian from performing. And the careers of municipal officials being threatened by state officials should they hire out public halls for MbalaMbala shows! ---Usually, it is in banana republics where judgments are written by powerful politicians (or super-rich criminals), then handed to the hapless judges to do the necessary. Indeed quite a few legal experts have stammered on TV to explain this in peace time: Under states of emergency, of course the law goes crook, but for this... inferior artist! O France! In the Free West, ever since the Fatwa launched on the head of Salman Rushdie by the late Iranian Ayatollah Khomeini, on the perception that certain paragraphs in his book the Satanic Verses were blasphemous to Islam, there has been a ‘’crusade of freedom’’ to tear down the walls of the mental prison of Islam. This religion in the public discourse was deemed a stagnancy, confining hordes to pre-history. In this crusade, everything holy to Muslims was game, the prophet Mohamed –O peace be upon him, was ritually ridiculed if not insulted by cartoonists; Allah –O…., declared a terrorist God with insane disciples like Osama bin Ladin; and all these blasphemies that incensed the true believers were defended by the phrase freedom of expression. No quarter given. Welcome to civilisation after the renaissance, man! Little did the narrow-minded political bourgeosie of the West recognise, that they were riding a monster capable of throwing them off and devouring them. The West too, has taboos; taboos that must be granted immunity from attacks riding the horse of freedom of expression. One such taboo is the Shoa, or the Holocaust in France. Mano kamalutu ma kik inyon!
Then Boomerang time!
Can one crack jokes at the holocaust!?
One can but it is blasphemous! Thus banned and illegal!
Can one laugh at jokes about the holocaust!? One can, but in doing so, one admits to a debauched sense of humour, that can only be explained by anti-semitism! And the full power of the law will come at you! up to the generation of consensus for social exclusion and economic destitution.
And so, generation after generation of French youth, have grown up straight-jacketed within an orthodoxy as fierce as that of fundamentalist Muslims on their Holy Quran! This is a no go area for satire, ridicule, jokes, mockery. Thus a schizophrenic republic was built, awaiting a psychological meltdown. But who would have guessed it would take a ‘’minor, inferior comedian’’ to unravel the whole complicated construct?
How about freedom of expression recognising no taboos, especially in artistic renditions!? –is that is only true when the subject is Islam!
Dieudonne Mbala Mbala, a Franco-Camerounian comedian, has been cracking jokes about the Shoa, and the French elite are using the law to cut off his tongue, just like Ayatollah Khomeini was using the Fatwah to drain the ink out of Rushdie’s pen! Spot the difference
Confused, the French have run to the light and more understandable domestic problems of their President. Sleeping around and cheating on partners is a universal experience and resonates well in gossip markets.
But yes, the trenchant economic recession, is now also an intellectual recession in France. The French government has piled pressure on the English to prosecute Niolaas Anelka, fine him heavily, ban him from matches; and the shirt-sponsor of his team, has been forced to withdraw, or forget all business connected to French companies.
The economic FATWAH!
Haha! The land of intellectual giants like Satre and the Jean-Jacques Rousseau of the Renaissance, has gone into a mental coma, become intellectually stunted and is wilting in its self-built couveuse.
Jean Jacques Rousseau [1712-1728, philosopher and writer of the famous DISCOURSE ON THE ORIGIN OF INEQUALITY
RIP, the fifth republic.
But here is the hotter topic we should not stray from: Who will now inherit Valerie? Hollande inherited her from a Zarkozy pal. She is the kind elitist males joke that you pass around, but one keener observers recognise as talented with a great instinct to predict the direction of power. So she jumped off the sinking Sarkozy camp into the bed of Hollande, long before others realised Hollande could possibly beat Sarkozy!
A pity she failed to sink her claws deep enough into the new occupant of the imperial Elysee! Word is she was too busy enjoying the perks of the position of illicit first lady, than taking care of the emperor’s needs in bed or wherever the urge must be stilled.
By history of power, every star-fukcer, or consort, or care-taker of his majesty’s dick, should know by emotional intelligence, that as soon as soon as his majesty’s libido goes limp on them, the guillotine is their fate.
Lakini obiro yudo terrorist  moro tu! Ok onyal koso! Onenore oliet ha kata hike odhi mebele kamano! [she will find an inheritor, our Valerie, she is still a hot hot catch, even as Francois reject.]

HIGH CLASS BLUES IN PARIS. AN  INSTALMENT.  [Louis-XVI-V vases, of the +3m euros smashed by madame Trierweiler in a fit. Soon as I heard the story, that Valerie Trierweiler was hospitalised in a closed Paris clinic, suffering from nervous exhaustion and acute stress, I leaned back and twitched my nose, an attempted suicide perhaps? would that not be quite a tabloid tale that, if told well, would rank with the train-wrecked Anna Karenina or, to keep it French, the self-destructive Madame de Bovary? So I leaned back and blew air, if it was a suicide attempt, how would we ever know? Is it not so that in the nature of these things, such potential scandals all go hush-hush, for that is how the powers that be, wish them. And the powers that be, have the power to instruct the official version of events. Which is what you will hear from the official and mainstream media. Anyway, since that breakdown, Valerie Trierweiler has recovered enough to go to India on her own on some earlier scheduled charity promo thing, but she has studiously kept mum on the key event interesting the press, though I must say she has hinted s he could write a book, you know, like Miguna did on Raila. Such a book, critics say, would not be a blessing to the dwindling popularity of her former ravisher, Hollande Jabodaboda.Then another detail emerged from the corridors of the Elysee palace. A detail as to fire up imagination and screw up speculation about what exactly transpired, before she was hosptialised. Words was a 200 year old vase, a national historical object, together with other brittle Napoleonic artefacts that adorn the French version of the Oval Office, were lost forever. No, not stolen, just smashed to smithereens. Costs? 3.4 million euros. How and by who?  President's office, Elysee palace, Paris, France. Well, in her extreme fit, the official version claims, Valerie Trierweiler smashed them them all. But there is another story, just like in Nairobi too, there was in the Evans Kidero Rachel Shebesh bash. This version goes, that Valerie smashed the priceless valuables on the head of President Hollande, and, making no advances to stop, forced the secret service to neutralise her, since, O god, smashing hard objects repeatedly on the head of a state will normally pass for an attempted assassination, even if done by a spouse in an apparent SM session going wrong. That effects of that ‘neutralisation’ of Valerie by the presidential secret service guard, is what we have come to be told of as her extreme stress: a nervous breakdown which necessitated her admission into a rest clinic.Statistics detailing marital fidelity in France show there is no longer such a thing as a faithful partner in that republic, so for Valerie to collapse on the news that her Francois was riding scooters in the wee hours of the night around Paris to exercise his paramours, would need her to have come from another Planet and thus a total naïve on matters of the Earth. In addition, she is a former tabloid reporter adroit at observing and documenting the scandalous duplicity’s of the jet-set she had joined, so the element of surprise, shock or even disbelief would be absent. Unless we now want to say she lost both her streetwiseness, memory, and head too, when she hooked up! So what is it exactly that put her in hospital? A taser  from the secret service? just in time as she was about to chop off Hollande’s head with a sharp toy from the days of the three musketeers? What a great tabloid tale it would be! Spurned lover decapitates French president by the same sword which executed Marie Antoinette! 200 years on! I was therefore inspired to check out what I could gather about literary forms of tabloid tales involving French women committing or trying to commit suicide. What options have they run out of in their perception? That would be a good way to deconstruct small village Paris. That is Valerie Trierweiler as a modern French parable. A retelling of Madame de Bovary in farcical, topsy-turvy form, since history does not repeat itself verbatim. What was that again? Madame de Bovary? [Later may be]. |

Before we come back to more steamier stuff of the bodily kind, here is something to prepare us for a darker episode in this thread. [see link at bottom] The dark episode goes like this: some people have put the number of Africans killed in the last decade of conflict to be 10 million. The centre piece of that statistic is of course Francophone Africa. Rwanda, where France was on the side of Juvenal Habyarmana as his allies prepared their version of the final solution. Congo DRC then Xaire, where Mobutu Sese Seko was France’s, especially Francois Mitterand’s, favourite pet. CAR, where France let Jean Bedel Bokassa carry on because they wanted to an amusing case study of failed government. Cote d’Voire, with its Paris aka Abidjan, the once show case of French sophistication abroad, of course went to the dogs in a much publicised meltdown which ended with the arrested president’s wife being finger-fakt by umannered rebels. FastFoward and now again CAR is doing Rwanda all over, with France the chief actor. We also remember Algeria where France backed the military junta to annul the victory of the Islamic FIS, and the result was a descent into demented mayhem. Yes, this is the tabloid point: If God really hates you and your country, he makes France your colonial language! And the French elite your neo-colonial boss and benefactor. Ask the Tuaregs whose natural habitat is being deliberately destroyed by a French nuclear mining company, so that it becomes inhabitable to humans, and they be ethnically cleansed by radiation poisoning. Or they abandon Tuarage desert forever, handing it over to French nuclear power interests. ---Cool he!? Comparatively speaking then, Anglophone Africa is a civilisation light years ahead of Francophone. Praise God Kenya is Anglosaxon I tell you  . It is like North and South America. Catholic and Spanish South is a dungeon; protestant and Anglophone North is, comparatively, heaven on earth, even for negroes in jail! That primitive Catholicism of white France, when mixed into a cocktail with the tribal primitivism of Africa, precipitates a substrate of bestial humanity as we saw in Algeria and now in the Central African Republic. ----Wait until we tell the tale, or the details of Libreville, when the Ninjas went at it with the Cobras. [then your Nuers and Dinkas in South Sudan are a picnic] And so we will dissect the ruling class of France, to find out why their civilisation has left such a primitive legacy in Africa and beyond. The rot is at the head (office). And that is the core of our tabloid tale. Always remember that, even as we detour in a time-out to take a peek at the tattoo on the buttocks of Gayet, Francois Hollande’s latest paramour; the tattoo where the president loves to curl his tongue, licking with socialist fervor. Here is France and Africa in bondage: an anglo-saxon view. And then we shall continue our tabloid tales. www.chathamhouse.org/sites/default/files/public/International%20Affairs/Blanket%20File%20Import/inta242.pdfand below, the bewitching tattoo which a voodoo guru of Haitian blood used to command the French president to become a bodaboda joyrider at night!  |

It's always been assumed the Belgians were the worst given what Leopold did to Congo, followed by the Portuguese. The Germans never had a chance to get their colonial experiments in Africa off the ground as they were interrupted by their defeat in WWI. The Italians were nuts. Just look at parts of Somalia and what they attempted to do in Ethiopia. The French have always appeared benign given that on paper they were spreading the message of "egalite". Maybe we were indeed fortunate to have the Brits Lord it over us (although our kipande system unchecked may have ended up following the path of apartheid). |

Jakaswanga:
There is a very serious protocol matter here: It turns out that the lady in question had an invitation to the White House, issued well before her boyfriend was caught on the back of a bodaboda, a whole president!, sneaking about like a schoolboy being naughty. What to do?
The Washington Post reports that the folks in D. C. (the real one) are used to that:
Hollande’s complicated personal life is not that rare where French leaders are concerned.
In November 2007, Nicolas Sarkozy arrived at the North Portico looking chipper and even a tad relieved. It was just three weeks after his divorce from second wife Cécilia Ciganer-Albéniz, who left him for another man and then reconciled shortly before Sarkozy was elected. The two quickly called it quits, however, and the new bachelor was in an expansive mood when he exchanged toasts with President George W. Bush — probably because half of the women in France were throwing themselves at him, his ex-wife later sniffed. Just a few days after returning home, Sarkozy met former model/singer Carla Bruni, who became France’s first lady three months after a whirlwind romance — but she never appeared, alas, at a formal White House dinner.
www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/when-the-guest-of-honor-goes-stag-whats-state-dinner-protocol/2014/02/10/4410092c-9281-11e3-b227-12a45d109e03_story.html?hpid=z1
The French will be French, and, I am told, men will be dogs. Strauss-Kahn, The Great Banker, charged with being part of a ring to procure "ladies of easy virtue" for orgies, had an interesting explanation: He had not been part of any procuring; yes, he had been an eager participant; but when one is in a crowd of totally naked people, what is there that might suggest their real professions? An innocent man looking for relief for a bit of wood caught in web of nasty criminals! A bad world when that happens ...
Still, I prefer the old breed, like Mitterrand, who did it with a certain je ne sais quoi. A French journalist, being French, once asked Mitterrand a direct French question (more like a direct comment): "It is said that you have a long-time mistress and a bastard kid with her." Mitterrand, being French, gave a direct French response: "What of it?"
But if men are dogs, then women are ... something. According to well-regarded biographies of the hero, in the 1970s Mitterrand's wife asked that her lover move in with the family. The hero did not object, and from then on the lover was passed off as a distant cousin, even as he did whatever he was doing. But there was one strict condition in this agreeable arrangement: every morning (6AM-ish), while everyone was still asleep, the lover had to get up and go down the road for the best freshly-baked croissants. Happy families are the essence of life, but perhaps a bit too much je ne sais quoi?
Balzac revived. C'est la vie.
But on to duller stuff ... Not too long ago, respected & retired French general, Vincent Desportes, now a professor at the highly regarded Sciences Po, made an interesting proposal in regard to places like Mali: the French to bring about regime change and then stay "as long as necessary". I am astonished that neither you nor the AU have had much to say on the proposal.
The Guardian had this to say of that BBC interview:
"Yet a decade ago, such statements would have been denounced as outrageous imperialist ambition to re-colonise Africa. So what has changed?"

So what has changed?"www.theguardian.com/global-development/2014/jan/06/african-union-missing-action-conflicts-mali-south-sudanSpeak, sir! [/p][/quote] What has changed! Find out why Barack Obama was elected to stop the folly of occupation and nationan building in Iraq and Afghanistan! Retired General Vincent Desportes, now prof. of Political science around Paris? Must be a graduate of one of the special academies, the so-called ECOLES SUPERIEURES  ---Superior institutes! What is the joke??? Let me introduce you to a bit of European Tribal politics. As France has faded far in the distance behind, leaving Germany as the only working motor of the EU economic juggernaut, so too has the reputation superiority of her ecoles [colleges] come into question. In Frankfurt, the financial nerve center of Germany, the derision now is, France has only ecoles inferieurs!So let us now understand why your retired General, REPUTED PROFESSOR, raised not even a murmur, calling for our re-colonisation. 1. France is broke. I will presently give more hints of the economic blues of one, Francois Hollande, despite his January pitch at national revival. Colonialism, or military deployment in foreign countries, cost a pile. You know the Iraq figure for the USA army per day the last decade? We have watched the French deploy 1500 troops to CAR to stop a genocide in a country the size of France itself!I want you to think of the implications of this, Otishotish. It means they were holed at around the airport in Bangui, as total Christian/Muslim ethnic cleansing raged. But even for the 1500 troops, Hollande had run out of money ---and had to appeal! Mali: the deployment was 2000 troops, Germany paying. And it had to become a NATO operation within one week, with the USA nearly 50% liable. Back at home, France can not do major repairs on the outskirts of Paris, which are third world slum depots ----people are shitting in open holes! using joint taps in run-down crime infested flats. Generation after generation unemployed formally. Happily and luckily most of them immigrants from North Africa and Sub-Sahara Francophone. Societal decay just around Paris where your professor lectures! and he wants to be a missionary in Africa once over? General Despostes obviously has no understanding of the limitations of his country! Nor does he understand the economic politics of regime change and civilising a foreign land --- bringing democracy to … as George Bush Dubya stated the Iraq and Afghanistan missions. Now completely aborted by Obama, to such an extent John Kerry called the coup in Egypt the height of democracy!It is the obvious stunning stupidity of this French General, which made the rest of the thinking world totally ignore his comments. Yes, I am sure he is a graduate of the Superior ecoles, guaranteed to think inferior! This detail is amusing: they were [black & white] graduates from the superior ecoles of France running Habyarmana’s Rwanda, before the Anglophone Paul Kagame and co stepped in! Never quote living Francophones, Otishotish, all great French thinkers are dead or not yet born. Stick with the Anglophone world for quotes from the living! If you want to be sensible. |

Stay tuned, thy sister of :-XMank, Kathure. Am gone to replenish my stock of waragi. Later! , Methinks the Foreign policy of the Gaullist republic is confused. It is hyperactive, un-thought out, and hectic. Yet it has an internal logic. ---My best bet is, 1. To understand foreign policy, I like to think one needs to look at the internal economic contradictions of a country. The best summary of those contradictions, --ie the best indicator of the state of the union between capital and labour in productivity, is just the standard data: unemployment, public/private debt ratios & payment defaults, corporate performance/competitiveness. ---So Ichecked! And what do the indicators of France say? Is it a country confident, and on the economic up? Or is it a diminishing power, with a scared, witless elite throwing its weight abroad because the situation at home is in a deadlock, of inertia, of stagnation and decline? thecable.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/11/10/how-france-scuttled-the-iran-deal-last-minute Well well! 'arguably Israel's best friend' (advocating the toughest sanctions on Iran) is now off to Tehran to look for commercial favours? Hmmm, a bit untidy to say the least! If you know, that as auto-making concerns, the flagposts of French engineering like Peugiot, Citroen and Renault, are on their death-beds under the asphyxiating talent of the Toyotas and Hyundais of this market sector, then you know why they have to go to kiss Mullah beards, between the legs. Here is a comment from euro-statistics [/font] [/quote] Does not sound like a republic on the up. In fact, Hollande’s strong card against Obama’s anger at his foreign policy was: ‘come on Barrack, I may be happy in bed gnawing at tattoed buttocks, but my country and peoples are out there, being beaten by the rains of recession. I gotta do everything I gotta do, or I am dead! And out of the Elysee, you think those Gayet buttocks will still be filling my arms?! ---damn it Obama, give me a break man. France is down!’www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/26/french-unemployment-rises-francois-hollande Year 2013 ended with those promises broken. And that is why there was a need for the January attempt at a restatement of the covenant between the people and their amorous President. (the January attempt overshadowed by the famous fall-out which saw the demise of prime decorative jugs from gone glorious eras!) Desperate times require desperate measures. And create some strange bedfellows. Take a look. www.globalresearch.ca/french-president-hollande-announces-lebanese-arms-deal-in-saudi-arabia/5363556 Very strongly POLITICALLY anti Iran-Syria-Hezbollah axis then, even as ECONOMICALLY the SAME ELITE is off to TEHRAN! Nuance nuance! O Nuance my fair lady! Gotta separate issues! Gotta split hairs! France helped put Hezbollah on European terrorist list. France replacing the USA, eyeing the Saudi billion arms market, as the Saudis and Americans fall out. France antagonising Russia in the Ukraine. France = Israel’s best friend. FRANCE THE SAVIOUR OF ATAVISTIC AFRICA! Can Hollande keep all these juggles in the air? Can the French elite, besieged by public distrust run such a directionless foreign policy and get away with it? Independent and alone, never consulting FIRST the paying Germans nor the British and their American allies? The only story now remaining is a detail on France’s currently most dashing politician, the interior minister Manuelle Valls. He achieved national white acclamation by deporting an Albanian girl of gypsy Roma descent called Leornarda Dibrani.www.nytimes.com/2013/10/20/world/europe/france-says-deportation-of-roma-girl-was-legal.html?_r=0 But France is not all white, so there is the quenelle republic too ---SOLIDARITE! www.sott.net/article/271666-French-Interior-Minister-Manuel-Valls-sent-packing-by-angry-crowd-doing-la-quenelle-at-Rennes-train-stationThis is an internally troubled republic. And it shows in her foreign policy! One would think Uhuru Kenyatta were a blessing compared to Francois Hollande and his ilk! |

The ancien regime, of the rotting social caste perched on top of French Society, driving the fifth republic in its shameful sunset years, just lifted a tip of the veil covering its grotesque core and --O Boy! O Boy!-- what a stench from the casket! What the hell am I talking about? www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/01/nicolas-sarkozy-detained-questioning-alleged-corruption There is more in that can of worms, and all the influence the former president still wields within the ruling class, have not been enough to prevent some worms from tumbling out of the tin-work. If DSK run a prostitution ring, Turbo Sarko ran a high string of corrupt justice officials! Whoring the law as it were. It is no coincidence meseems, that the man who should have been the Left’s candidate to succeed Turbo Sarko, too has been elaborately disgraced. That is the famous Daniel Strauss Khan, the DSK, formerly of the IMF who, unable to contain himself confronted with the luscious lips of a defenceless immigrant room cleaner, revealed his depravity by pouncing on her and abusing her the way he had abused so many French women --- and got away with thanks to corrupt power. He got away with this one too, but at the cost of the French Presidency. His [PS] replacement Francois Hollande is of course screwy too, and even a bit looney too if one recalls his bodaboda dashes around dark Paris streets, but he is not a rapist, nor a prostitute ring-runner like his class and party mate Strauss Khan. The creature DSK is a predator whose soulless indulgences in lust put to shame the morbid exploits of the notorious count, Dracula. Here is Jukwaa’s sniper b6k zeroing on him. jukwaa.proboards.com/thread/5447/why-dsks-ouster-relevant-kenya And here is some humour from Belgium. A house of sin called DSK. www.nytimes.com/2014/07/01/world/europe/strauss-kahn-wins-as-belgian-court-tells-dsk-sex-club-to-find-another-name.html?_r=0 And just like DSK accused a conspiracy for his downfall, Sarkozy too is accusing a plot to derail his planned political comeback. In the recent EU-parliamentary vote, the French electorate, horrified by the rot on both the Gaullist and Socialist sides, recognising the elites inability to pump up a deflating France, shied away from the traditional parties and went extremist, preferring even the diabolic company of the Le Pen crowd to the smelly establishment.

What I really was aiming to write about was the stability pact of the Eurozone, and the difficulties the 5th republic is having meeting the obligations. But there is a tabloid tale that tells it best. The Eurozone stability pact limits overall [state] debt to a maximum of 60% GDP, and the annual deficit to maximum 3% GDP. France is a serial defaulter on the pact requirements –even as she is suppose to be one of the locomotives of the Eurozone economy by virtue of her size, second only to Germany. But France is increasingly a paper tiger, and the ''suffocating dictates'' of the stability pact is what has led to a war within the ruling socialist party, precipitating the cabinet burst of golden Boy Manuel Valls. But I will leave the ideological split unfolding as to which economic theory shall respond best to the ongoing crisis of the 5th republic. There is some juicy stuff to be done first. That tabloid tale I promised. Valerie Trierweiler has published her partial memoirs and is topping the best-seller list like the well-worn phrase, hot cakes. Yes, some will remember the controversy over the quenelle, a shove it up your as.s up to here gesture which cost football star Nicolas Anelka of France dearly, in terms of sponsorship cash. Here is the French President Hollande giving an impression of just how deep he has felt the Valerie –best-seller-- quenelle.  His ratings have dipped below 17%. Even Marie-Antoinette scored better en route to the guillotine. (She was nearly saved on a plea to save her aphrodisiac body to be used as crowd control of sex perverts in French sanatoria! But that is another story) But Valerie Trierweiller herself has become an outcast, if you believe the polls. The elite used the term paramour to describe her ''living in sin'' with the president. The masses found that an obscurantist term. If a woman was living at the Elysee and bedding the President unmarried to her, then she was not the First Lady but the First W-Hore. So on the street she is the former first wh-ore of the republic. There is a current one of course. But for all her impopularity, her restrained book –-though branded a kiss and tell all, is the talk of town. She claims Hollande despises the poor in private even as he makes a career claiming empathy with them. Lying or not, she has stunned France, collapsed the ratings of Hollande, brought to the forefront the debate over meaninful economic policies that can arrest decline in France, and precipitated a positioning for the next elections. Will the true champions of the poor rise up and be counted amongst the elite? Tabloid tales! If you know how to read them! NB: I have run out of time allocated for France for today, so I will only mention that I left out a cross reference section which indicated that for the TRUE TELL ALL ACCOUNT OF VALERIE AND HOLLANDE we may have to wait until many decades after their deaths. You see when a new biography hit the stands over Jackie Kennedy, long after their deaths, is when we got the real juice! Fidel Castro, when he was told Kennedy had tried to kill him again. ''Heck! Che, I am the only guy in the western hemisphere who never romped his wife and am the guy he wanna kill most! I better go for it too!'' |

France and austerity and postponed structural reformsWhen the Franco-German knot was tied, long ago in those days when Francois Mitterand and Helmut Kohl –Margaret Thatcher's people insisted on calling him Helmet Cabbage, the honeymoon song went Germany and France were the two locomotives pulling the EU economies up; and when the union currency came, the Euro, the same axis would be the guarantor of stability. And for a while all seemed to go shipshape.   Then the banking crisis, the Eurozone economic woes. These states may have the same currency, but they have a lot of autonomy in the definition of their own local, national priorities. The fear of individual stupidities, of stupid elites running their national economies aground, was the basis of the so-called Stability Pact, which sought to impose sanity on known loose-headed countries. If Kenyans call their politicians Mpigs, Northern European countries call their financially loose-headed cousins PIIGS. Pigs, mockingly touted in George Orwell's Animal Farm as one of the most intelligent animals, have never had such a bad publicity ever since a Muslim theorist declared them HARAM, and banned pork for over a billion people of mankind. Well, the stability pact obviously failed, France dislocated from Germany and fell behind. Joining Italy in the corner of big economic fiascos. As they say, the Super Liar Jacques Chiraq, then the Fake Turbo Nicolas Sarkozy, succeeded by Francois -the bodaboda-- Hollande, have all failed to structurally reform the French economy into a competitive outfit. With one axis of the Euro train. Now, wide sections of French economists have turned on Germany, claiming Angela Merkel and Germany's obsession with AUSTERITY, is the straight-jacket killing French and lower Eurozone growth! The stability pact numbers --<60% GDP debt, <3% budget deficit in a financial year, they now write, are arbitrary and have no basis on any known economic theory! The cabinet of Manuel Valls recently exploded on this debate. They no longer love Germany in France. Those were the days, when Helmet Kohl and Francois Mitterand would drink themselves silly, singing African songs taught them by the Mobutu Sese Seko. (I wanted to know from my source whether these powerful men in their day acted as each others pimps, that is whether Kohl brought German groupies to exchange against French and Congolese groupies brought by Mitterand and Mobutu, but the man insisted that was an undignified line of questioning!) Now, does Germany love France? She sure most have some emotions! Does Merkel's Germany have an opinion about the French politicians, other than the suspected one, which is that France is some kind of Northern Nigeria? Greatest potential, greatest disappointmet!? Tough Love. France and Italy are now leading an assault on the Stability Pact. That is, these guys who only yesterday were posturing hot, shaking their fists at Putin with sanctions, need to live on DEBT. They –and all the Southerners-- need a free run on borrowing. Increased deficity per financial year. Increased debt/gdp ratio. Debt-fuelled growth, then they will be good and restructure their economies into competitive rackets. But what is the sense of the ECB printing more money when the interest rates are below zero, yet money is still lying unborrowed in the banks? Why are businesses and invididuals not taking their chances and making investment decisions, taking risks by this cheap credit? I really need Mank here to straighten this out for me. It does not look right. More monetary policy while money lies idle in the banks! euobserver.com/news/125363 Buth there is an African proverb. When you see a toad jumping around in broad daylight, know there is something after its life. It is not just Valls and Hollande, the whole establishment is in a broad daylight toady jump. Here is the python slithering after them. MARINE LE PEN TOPPING THE POLLS.     www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/6a09af64-18a7-11e4-a51a-00144feabdc0.html#axzz3DGUUkY4I

FOOTNOTE: NB: Currently the IMF is on a roll bailing out Ukraine, a country at war. There is something about that in the IMF charter. This new Lagarde negligence --The IMF and her also have some issues of negligence pending of her role in the Greek debt crisis, has needed some explanation. Especially when the bail out cash meant to recapitalise local Ukrainian Banks, has been finding its way back West, as the chief Oligarch beneficiaries re-export cash to safer haves than KIev! Lagarde, calculated negligence should be he maiden name! |

France and austerity and postponed structural reforms..... But what is the sense of the ECB printing more money when the interest rates are below zero, yet money is still lying unborrowed in the banks? Why are businesses and invididuals not taking their chances and making investment decisions, taking risks by this cheap credit? I really need Mank here to straighten this out for me. It does not look right. More monetary policy while money lies idle in the banks! Amigo, I am afraid that shall not be explained by economic theory ... governments and their remote-controlled monetary policy engineers will say they are basing policies on economic theory, but often that is as close as the policies would really come to economic theory. Traditional economic theory of governmental intervention in economic slumps (as pioneered by Maynard Keynes) favors direct assumption of the spending role by government when private spending is depressed (such as increased spending in productive public projects - like infrastructure), and encouragement of private spending e.g. through reduced interest rates and taxation. Unfortunately lately governments have become drunk with the idea that any economic downturn deserves more money printing - I think this is just because printing money is an easy thing to do, coupled with the misplaced assumption that a government has to act in every case even when there is no good course action. The misalignment of solution with the problem is easy to see in the case you present - when banks are flooded with money, the problem is hardly the banks, and more likely hesitance of businesses and households to spend. At least if there was a high cost of borrowing then the idea that banks may have an input into the problem could be entertained (and such would require not money printing but a change in lending guidelines) - but when loads of money are left in banks attracting low interest rates it means there is something in the economy that is draining the appetite to invest. How printing more paper would help the situation is something only a politician can explain - and you know they can explain anything, including how a bridge to nowhere is a sound investment. Inflation and asset bubbles are the expected results of the printing interventions as the excess paper gets packed in commodities. |

CHARLIE HEBDOO LESSONS. Yes, you got that right! There are some things you do not express in France! There are some jokes you do not just crack in France! You do, then your career is to be derailed, crashed, or God knows what. But I am joking of course, France is the land of Liberte. Where the libertarian spirit burns fiercest. That is why, thinking hard about the above joke, the national concerted attempt by good folks, the elite of France and the state bureaucracy to banish the comic Dieudonne Mbala'Mbala and his quenelle, to generate THE CONSENSUS of CENSORSHIP, using anti-semitism as an alibi, was always bound to boomerang in chilling fashion. You are white and you can crack any malicious and vile joke at the prophet Mohammed and Allah and whole French bureaucracy will stand behind you with holy chants -- VIvA LIBERTE, JESUIS CHARLIE! FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION! And on the other hand, you are non-white, you have merely indicated you are gonna wisecrack the HOLOCAUST, and right there they burry you alive!In the real world, something gotta give. And it gave. It was a terrifying two days in the fifth republic. A group of men, the Kouachi brothers, took it upon themselves to impose censorship on the most radical mock-makers on their prophet. You wanna censor jokes on the holocaust, I guess you wanna censor jokes on the prophet too. Otherwise the bluff will be called. The only way history knows. Chillingly. WHAT IS THE QUENELLE? Then Boomerang time! Can one crack jokes at the holocaust!? One can but it is blasphemous! Thus banned and illegal! Can one laugh at jokes about the holocaust!? One can, but in doing so, one admits to a debauched sense of humour, that can only be explained by anti-semitism! And the full power of the law will come at you! up to the generation of consensus for social exclusion and economic destitution. And so, generation after generation of French youth, have grown up straight-jacketed within an orthodoxy as fierce as that of fundamentalist Muslims on their Holy Quran! This is a no go area for satire, ridicule, jokes, mockery. Thus a schizophrenic republic was built, awaiting a psychological meltdown. But who would have guessed it would take a ‘’minor, inferior comedian’’ to unravel the whole complicated construct? How about freedom of expression recognising no taboos, especially in artistic renditions!? –is that is only true when the subject is Islam!Dieudonne Mbala Mbala, a Franco-Camerounian comedian, has been cracking jokes about the Shoa, and the French elite are using the law to cut off his tongue, just like Ayatollah Khomeini was using the Fatwah to drain the ink out of Rushdie’s pen! Spot the difference Confused, the French have run to the light and more understandable domestic problems of their President. Sleeping around and cheating on partners is a universal experience and resonates well in gossip markets.

Theatre of the absurd! political leaders marching in the street! who is fixing things then? at the office! Sometimes you know you are being taken for a hard ride, and you are being played big, but you are in the mood for a little live and let live. So you take the going rate. Bibi Netanyahu of Israel and Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian authority were both in Paris, taking centre stage marching ;)together. Well, birds of the same feather of course do flock to cuddle, but by all means these were two very odd birds indeed; and if this tragic Parisian wipe-out of the Charlie-Hebdoo cartoon collective was the miracle worker, why then were the two strange bedfellows from the middle east not pushing through with their act of love!? like Walking arm in arm, shoulder to shoulder? Bravely through Paris, the city of the same?  Why so much distance between them as to give the phrase ''keep at an arms length'' a new twist!? I had gathered that, after the PA officially signed-in and opened an account at the Hague ICC, paving the way for the possible indictment of Bibi Netanyahu for war crimes, the Israelis had promptly blocked revenues and other dues belonging to the Palestinian Authority. Israel has a habit of squeezing the balls of Abbas and his PA whenever she feels her love is not requited enough. tough love it is then, Bibi and Mah. How on earth did they make it to Paris in the first place, I asked myself. Invited guests or gate-crashers??. In any case relations between Hollande and Netanyahu are not warm, and more so, since december 2014 when the French parliament voted in line with other Europeans, notably Scandinavians and the British, to recognise the statehood of Palestine. From the earlier line, we read the intrigues: And why would Bibi not dare remain behind when Avigdor and Naftali were travelling? Yes, internal Israeli politics! Not solidarity with Parisian crowds. Elections are coming and Paris was too big a huge stage to miss in a campaign period, for the Lord Protector of All Jews. Competitors attending. But there is another report doing the rounds which is not in the official press. The French, annoyed hosts that they were, toyed a bit with Bibi. If he came, they insisted, he would be scheduled to walk in arm-lock with Mahmoud Abbas  . This linkage would act as the most forceful image of reconciliation dangled before a divided French society! cool! How did El-Nathan's face look like when he heard this
kissing up with a Hamas -buddy in a foreign country, while at home he cannot make peace with him? With elections coming!?  May be a revamped charly-hebdoo will have a go at it. In any case the situation was too hot to miss. seen.co/event/paris-march-paris-2015-7909/highlight/51486 pls scroll down to twitter feeds.The British press, counting the first ever street march of their premier Dave Cameron, went dumbstruck at the other: who would have thought Netanyahu could walk four paces away from Abbas in Paris, linked arms and all in a line televised live, they asked. But the rest of saner people were asking the opposite: why don't the two birds step over their shadows and link their arms, side by side, shoulder to shoulder. Now, that would be a photo to go gaga on! Not this

PRIME MINISTER MANUEL VALLS FINDS HIS MISSION, AND FORGETS HIS BRIEF.Serially defaulting on her EU obligations -for instance unable to bring her deficit within the mandatory 3% GDP specified in the euro stability pact ... -- --- the elites of the republic are looking for a scapegoat to focus the negative emotions of the country away from their failures. Here below is the guy who was brought in a about a year ago to try steer to catch up with Germany.  Manuel Valls, premier of France from March 31 2014.AND GUESS WHAT HIS MOST PASSIONATE SPEECH TO DATE WAS ABOUT!? ---- NO, not the economy --stupid, it was about Dieudonne Mbala'Mbala this week on Tuesday! How on earth can somebody sane coin this sentence: I feel like Charly Coulibaly!? Valls asked in theatrical falsehood! France has fallen far behind Germany, her economy sluggish and crimping, and her electorate rebelling, drifting toward the extreme fascists of the right of Marie Le Pen's National Front. And all the establishment has to offer is a recycled Zarkozy. He, some will remember, was the failure before the current failure Hollande. ''Look! Evil Islam is the problem!'' the elite collapses in hysterics, pointing an accusing finger, drumming up consensus and deflecting a hatred which otherwise would be aimed at them. And therefore while there was a national march to enshrine the freedom of expression .. and artistic indulgence in whatever the heart of the artist, two days later who else but enfant terrible Dieudonne Mbala'Mbala pricks the big balloon!AAAh, this deflating republic in the middle of the EU! A dangerous vacuum at the heart of Europe methinks.  --coloured photo dieudonne. The most chilling thing which makes me shudder, is the knowledge that the Kouchi brothers and Amedy Coulibaly, are Frenchmen. Born and bred in the fifth republic. But their rejection of it is so violent, so total, that an attempt to understand it without prejudice, is a daunting if fearful undertaking. Why did Algeria eventually want independence? ---Because egalite, liberte, fraternite, assumed a racial hierarchy, and the Arab's place in that pyramid, was the bottom. He could try to evolve, evolue, but essentially it was a dead end. The white French republicans, true to the ideals of the republic did not realise this, but the natives, not only of Algeria, but even of Vietnam and other colonies, recognised this dead-end with ease. A colonial myth. The holy chants of enlightenment, the French gifts to humanity and human political consciousness, were not in good custody in the fifth republic. All around the globe, the white republic was committing atrocities, genocide, some not yet acknowledged as such to this day, like the one in Madagaskar To the other peoples of the world where France was a colonial power, France itself was a criminal who had first to go away. Independence was needed, from France. Now the fifth republic has imported a large sector of brown peoples and parked them in dormitories in big cities. The slogans are the same egalite, fraternite, solidarite! And again the feelings are the same. The white collective find meaning in them while the latest Frenchmen --progeny of immigrants from ex-colonies, especially with Islam as religion,---- see only myths to rationalise their racial subjugation and confinement to the bottom of the pyramid. The fifth republic can not solve the contradiction at her underbelly. She has to go repressive, like the colonial administration in Algeria in the phase of increased nationalist resistance.The state is already so scared, that one day after the march for freedom and the free word, Dieudonne Mbala'Mbala is arrested for coining Charley Coulibaly as his heart's rhyme. O France!  here is the joke: Charlie Hebdoo, like Dieudonne Mba, showed irresponsibility, disrespect and a propensity to fuel hatred and division that is simply unbearable! Je Suis  ?? (nani)

INSIDE THE multiple personality sydrom of France.When I caught the hysterical tones to which the establishment, the Parisian elite, had risen to condemn the quenelle, I just had the feeling there was more to the story. The public lynching of a comedian is a dangerous pathology. Banning humour is one of the most potent symptoms of a totalitarian mindset. This was a rotten nation with the pus waiting to spring up like a fountain. As we waited for the pus, I decided to mark time with humorous takes on the infidelity's of the president of the republic, Amorous Francis. The fifth republic is an uneasy fit in its image of itself. No longer at ease, thinking of Achebe's quip. Some of her children are obviously not buying into her current interpretation of the founding ideals! It is like for liberte they feel the heavy breath of the police state behind their every move; for solidarite they read it is the reserve of Israel not Palestine; and for fraternite, the Muslim slums are worlds apart from the white posh! The devil is in the detail. Take for instance the statistics of youth unemployment. Greece tops at 53%; Germany is the heaven at less than 10%. France comes in at around the average, 23%.  First a bit of Britain statistics!  how about French statistics on the issue!? Now you catch me! But try this humorous article in the new Yorker. www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/can-the-french-talk-about-race it will be correct to bet one is dealing with a schizophrenic society. And one whose official line is a pathology of denial. A nation living a myth of egalite, fraternite, solidarity. and this juice, or hints about the myth of egalite, fraternite, and the rest.. From 2006 we read www.euro-islam.info/country-profiles/france/ There is no way to tell what!? --who is fooling who!? why do these young men turn their backs on the french national anthem during football matches do you think!? Anyway, this is 2015, and if the French wont collect their own statistics, others have, for foreign institutes are NOT banned from researching France with these variables of ethnic diversity BIASES. And so the devils in the details. There are whole areas of sub-urban France where no whites live. The few whites there are usually women married to the coloured Frenchmen. In English we talk of black ghettos, and an apartheid urban system of settlement. But in France, as you have seen above, they talk of SENSITIVE AREAS. The average youth rate of unemployment for these 'sensitive areas' is a comfortable, constant 50% at the best of times. But since the crisis hit, a sociologist said with a grin, 60-70% is our comfortable estimate!  Paris banlieue new-year rituals.Now, I checked economic textbook for a definition of these figures. Because it appears to me, a 60% rate of youth unemployment is an economic meltdown, a special case requiring a special term, you know, like above a certain temperature of body heat, the technical word is no longer FEVER! There is a new clinical definition. I was disappointed. Modern economists do not treat a youth unemployment rate of 60% with any urgency! In history I have read others who would look at such a statistic and declare that system dead, a MELTDOWN, (where the elite have lost whatever mandate they had to rule!) Now, after adding the detail these slums are non white areas in a white country, lets us do better and add another detail: they are black and Arab. (since non-white can be Asian you know!) And then, let us ride all the way to the hilt, they are 90% Muslim in a white Christian country! It is a homerun, A CLASSICAL FAULTLINE! but do they say in republican speak!? Yes, these are sensitive areas indeed! one would think the French do beat the English in understatement. these Muslim ghettos which in effect are iron social tombs, dungeons of sealed fates! That is a bit too hot, let us backtrack a bit. France at 23% is about an EU average (youth unemployment). The PIIGS of the South are worse with their youth. France is a leading EU economic power house, with adequate democratic credentials in the traditional manner, a beacon of civilisation. Looking at it this way, the motives of her adventurous and murderous banlieu-bred Jihadists remain a perplexing problematic. Wherefore their psychiatrisation becomes the explanation. That is the depolitisisation of their acts. It is a pleasant thought to lay ones troubled head to rest, evil and mad men. But there remains that gut feeling, that the fifth republic really has a deeper one going than the solitary madness of a few of her citizens whose ethnicity, religion, nor geographical nests are MEASURABLE! Then there is the word none dare pronounce, Algeria. What does it mean, this word Algeria!? Paris, 1961

EXIT FRANCOUS HOLLANDE, ENTER WHO, OR WHAT?
Mediocrity has never been exhibited like it was last week in France. The president abdicated. He will not seek re-election. That kind of surrender must imply one of the most useless men to have risen to the presidency of that country.
Apparently his people hate him so much his approval ratings are below 5%. It is a freak statistic, and it freaked him, and the (Socialist) party out. What is it that they did so wrong!?
A woman named Marine Le Pen, a contender for the presidency next year on a very right wing agenda, tried an explanation tinged with xenophobia: 'the French have discovered just how much these pretenders hate France. They, ruling elite, give all the money to their global banking friends, and leave the majority of French, white Frenchmen, to waste in squalor, unemployment, low wages and their blonde daughters besieged by swarms of stiff-cocked and pawy Arab and African Muslim youth, marauding throughout the cities at large!
The fifth republic is surely on its last legs. Fictitious solutions to real problems is a dead end.

PENELOPEGATE, GAYGATE, AND THE EXTREME LEFT AND RIGHT; AND THE OTHER UNMENTIONABLE WATERGATE And Kenya, here come the French! But know the gates I mention not! At the end of the first round of the presidential elections in France, Marine le Pen of the Front National will be –--more or less---- the man or lady to beat. For simplicity lets call her the extreme right. Yes, she and her ilk hate foreigners –---non-white foreigners, with a vengeance, even if they want to sell Peugeot cars and perfumes to them. Peugeot was one of the first industries back to Iran after Obama's limited sanction lift. Within the socialist party of the abdicated François Hollande, his prime minister and anointed successor, also at Elysee, Manuel Valls, was defeated in the primaries by someone more to the left, Benoit Hamon, a former education minister. He is not expected to make it to the second round. He is an old school French patriot who, like former economically nationalistic economic affairs minister Arnaud Montebourg, frowns on Anglo-Saxon take-over of France and is uncomfortable with the German diktat over the EU. This sentiment is also visible at the extreme right. But Le Pen goes as far as to flirt with ditching the Euro. And she is much emboldened by Brexit.  Centre right is candidate Francois Fillon. These are the republicans who do not know what to do with the sovereign legacy of Charles De Gaulle. Despite the fifth republic's protestations to being anti-clerical, Fillon is a professed catholic and a social conservative. And that comes with a lot of white patriotic baggage. In the primaries, Fillon dispatched former president Nicolas Sarkozy and former prime minister Alain Juppe. Fillon was prime minister under Sarkozy from 2007 to 2012. Juppe was prime minister under Jacques Chirac from 1995-1997. It is a revolving door at the top of France. What these gentlemen, fossils Marine calls them, can do now what they did not do then is not clear. Send the Titanic to the bottom is a good guess. The man of the moment, on everybody's lips is the cometically-risen former Rothschild banker, also former minister for economic affairs under Hollande, Emmanuel Macron. He is young and colourful and dazzlingly Anglo-Saxon neo-liberal, and perhaps can be forgiven his boyish sins. One of those sins is the destruction (Macron says salvation) of the French Tech giant ALSTOM. There are others. But this one, the intimidated sale of the jewel at a throw-away price to American GE, to the consternation of Arnaud Montebourg, his predecessor, who resigned thereover, raised more bile than controversies over the length of the working week and the position of Sunday work. Macron officially says he is neither left nor right. We will find out if he can grow further to remind us of Chairman Deng: don't matter colour of cat so long it catches the mice. France got a lot of mice which need catching, or lots of loose ends which need tying up. Banning the ultra-popular Afro-French comedian Dieudonne Mbala-Mbala is a symptom of just how intellectually narrow modern France has become. Even within Europe, a diminished nation. Macron promises he is The Messiah they long for. And his weapon is the freed fire of the market.  This tension raging at the heart of the socialist party could not be resolved within. Emmanuel Macron quit after a while, to prepare his gambit, and is now running as an independent at the head of a marching youth movement to save France from lethargic inertia. And he has a not so secret weapon. He is a thoroughgoing neo-liberalist. I suspect Thatcharite. Margaret Thatcher thought the Britain she inherited was at the bottom. Everything in it had to change, to market run, for her to rise again. ''There is no such thing as society'', she famously declared in a moment beside itself with fury. It was genuine fury, and she changed Britain forever. But then, Maggie was a genuine article, a genuine ideological character. ' France is still dithering in indecision, held hostage by the kind of traditional 'oxbridge' elite Margaret Thatcher held responsible for the demise of Great Britain. In France they come from the Superior Colleges conveyor belt.   NOW FOR A HUMAN TAKE, THE SCANDALS. 1. PENELOPEGATE.Penelope, and we are not talking that most faithful of all queens of pre-antiquity, is the wife of candidate Fillon. She worked for him long ago and was paid by the taxpayer. Or did she? It is not clear what her duties were, neither is she clear about them, which leads to suspicion of fraudulent behaviour. It all happened a long time ago really and Fillon has occupied high office without the scandal breaking him, so why it has been racked up to such prominence now is a bit of a mystery. Perhaps the stakes are just too high now. 2. GAYGATE.The original joke was Emmanuel Macron has a mother fixation. He is married to a woman decades his senior. Then up has come a new explanation. He is a closet gay, and has been having a secret affair with another prominent gay Parisian, the head of public broadcasting radio. He denies both –--the affair and being gay. First he denied being gay, but he was reminded one can have a gay affair without being gay! So he improved on his earlier denial. At this rate it means tabloid is how to get the measure of the candidates running for public office in France. That should mean with the current crop, there is no place for the fifth republic to go except down. As for Peugeot PSA Citroen back to assembly in Kenya, one has to know they have lost in the EU market –---dominated by Volkswagen and German Opel, to the Eastern monsters too. Toyota –--now with the leading technology of HYBRIDE (of the famous pririus) has set the bar on environmental cleanliness. French cars even at home come far after Toyota, Daewoo, ford Kia, Suzuki. They have nowhere to go. French cars used to be King in Iran –--so too in Francophone Africa, but the West declared sanctions on Iran and the USA ordered them out. They are going back there to re-fire old glory, but Tehran moved on too. Ol Glory sounds like the Shah of Persia. The Mullahs prefer state of the art turbines and nuclear reactors and TGV-trains such only ALSTOM can make (bar Siemens), but behold, Macron surrendered Alstom to GE, and Trump's security men have just declared Iran a leading sponsor of global terrorism! consider ... on a light touch VELAYATI: Of course we love French cars, especially second hand ones. They are all over Tehran. But what I really want and would love in our new relationship, are 400 nuclear reactors and their King technology from Alstom! Mmmm, I can't wait!
MACRON: I don't think Uhuru Kenyatta should be seen opening a Peugeot assembly line at Thika. A TGV line from Daresalam to Nairobi to Juba is more like a presidential level. Then you wake me up to song Uhuru Akhbar. Meanhwile let me watch the soap, the gates. NB: the LIBYAWATERGATE: IT was France which first attacked Libya under false pretext, eventually leading to the horrific murder of Gaddafi and the total destruction of Libya. But this gate is not tabloid, and so I can't feature it. Neither can I talk of the French deliberate bombing of the Libyan irrigation infrastructure. It is unmentionable. Like a dirty secret. Men from superior colleges around Paris, they do you slow genocide behind your back. Watch it, Mr. PORK. You are better off on a state visit to Tehran, Ouru. To talk about a Man-made-blooming desert in Turkana! ---- starving Turkanas while you open car plants, that is what I mean by you anit watching your back boy!NB: Have a moment to think of the name befitting the scandal of the French bombing this project to render it mute! |

MACRON, THE FRENCH TONY BLAIR COMES OF AGE TODAY I want to deliberately put it as footnote in the French thread. The change in the Hamas founding charter which, simultaneously, has seen the exiled Khaled Meshaal succeeded by Gazan-resident Ismael Haniyah, as the top political leader of Hamas. The election is done by Hamas's Shura council, a kind of politburo which is constituted by representatives from all wings of the resistance, including the military, aka Qassam brigades. It is a 2-year tenure, limited to a successive two terms.  Khaled Meshaal, left, and Ismail Haniya Why do I put it as a footnote on the day the Fifth republic elects the no-party Emmanuel Macron as her president, against the Frexit and xenophobically nationalist champion Marine Le Pen of the National front? Because things which happen far away from France exert more influence on the direction of the nation than the things which happen in France itself. Dien Bien Phu may not have been reported in France in much detail, but it marked the end of French Indochina, and any pretence of France as a power in Asia. And now the yellow bastads are making in-roads and massive gains into the French backwaters of black Africa. Then, most emotionally important, is the legacy of the Algerian civil war of. (Did I forget to say anti-colonial liberation war!?) It is the elephant in the room the fifth barely mentions directly. It informs a lot of Islamic and nationalist discourse in France, and tends to subconsciously monopolise the debate between France in totality and her colonial past. That debate crystallises to whether 4th or 5th generation offspring of non-white immigrants and Islamic to boot, are really French, could ever really be French! The impossibility of assimilation? the bankruptcy of the fifth republic's ideological premise?  But there is a new guy in town. Now read that again: ALLEGED TORTURES AND MASSACRES! In other words there is no  conclusive historical evidence the French troops did what they did! We call that historical denial, like saying, 'alleged crimes committed by NAZI's against Jewish people in the concentration camps!'French teachers of civics, history and philosopy around the BanLieues --urban slum areas of high immigrant concentration, report frustrations when the children of immigrants, especially from the former colonies, more so Muslims, defiantly and articulately state the French ran a NAZI-Hitlerite regime in Algeria, Gaza is a concentration camp policed by Israelis, and the Palestinian NAKBA, the Great Catastrophe, ranks with the HOLOCAUST in historical crimes! That is like blowing up French (White) Identity. Some teachers just quit, leaving the savages to rot in their slums.  The Algerian veteran Le Pen, the father of Marine, once called concentration camps a detail of the second world war, and Europe came down on his head like the tower of babbel. Belittling the holocaust, let alone denying it, is itself a crime against humanity in official France. Not so denying colonial atrocities by European powers, or belittling them. Repent and they shall be forgiven! Okay, that is the brilliant 39-year Old emperor to be crowned today, May 7 2017, by the people for the first tenure. He is flirting with the loyalties of, seducing the segment of French voters with Maghreb origins. But the Palestinian issue is another elephant in the room within Muslim France. And here the incoming emperor has not come up with any slogans. When brilliant young men hired to fix stuff start ignoring elephants in the room, I don't feel easy, nor sleep easy. As a teacher it makes me feel nervous about the performance of the whizzkidd at the tests reality shall author. But those who want to win elections must have forked tongues to hide their hearts, the campaign is after all, just game.   |

THE ABSOLUTE MANDATE OF EMMANUEL MACRON UNDER THE MICROSCOPEWith the Elyse freshman Macron hosting Donald Trump and Angela Merkel on the same day in Paris, it is too much of a wonderful opportunity to be missed, fine-combing his boyish gloss for cracks in the thick make-up. He is officially stamped in total control of the Assemblee Nationale. With the French presidency already an imperial institution, this gives him, on the face of it, the absolute powers of a medieval divinity. But if we top it up some more by considering the state of emergency in place –---and the free run on dictatorial powers which comes with it, we can, thinking of Roman Julius Caesar, talk about the Dictator of Paris! (I didn't say of France). Emmanuel Macron is a political wonderboy no doubt. He is the nobody from nowhere who, like Alexander the Great, barely above an adolescent, has created space for himself by killing the old institutes of the left, Socialist Party, and the right, The republican cores. These once institutional pillars of modern French politicology are now but limbless dregs spluttering in the water against the current. But he is French, not merely Parisian, our Emmanuel, and he is a product of the best of French finishing schools. It should therefore be no brainier for him to call history out for its mockery of him: dictator of Paris. With a 30% electoral mandate
Aint I but a Quixotic tyrant
Flogging a dead horse turn-out!But power they say, gets quick to peoples heads. It is like a stiff puff of hash, or quick shot of crystal meth. Brilliant minds become instantaneously trapped in the delusions of grandeur; they mistake the institutional fictions of power for reality and use these to proclaim their invincibility. The French electoral system this time around performed quite a magical trick. The turn-out to elect the president was a paltry 44%. Macron versus LePen went: 66:34, final %tage ratio. So with a 30% mandate he has an absolutist parliament, absolutist presidency (state of emergency), and a Caesarean bend! –---Who can stop him! More like a one-party state! On a 44% turn-out, solid mandate the victors say! But That is the great whitewash trick in nutshell. It is a fascitoid coup, fascitoid in the sense of the conferring of deeply authoritarian and totalitarian powers to a single individual who, a seer, interprets the peoples will and enforces it, come what may! The French (5th republic) existential crisis needs a dictator deemed popularly imbued of special powers to sort it out! And that is what the electoral system has delivered. Peacefully and legitimately! A Caesar. That is a kudos. It could have been worse you know, with an authentic fascist, Hitlerite female, elected. Okay, Macron is a wonder boy so to put it; still there is too much PR-glib about him. Europe is of course in a class of its own when it comes to down-to-earth thinkers who do not do rosy PR's on reality. Give me Lenin for instance. He called his coup what it was, a DICTATORSHIP! (of the proletariat under the communist party!) And Adolf Hitler when he rose to power didn't lie to Germans even if he had the world's greatest official liar in service, Joseph Goebbels. A Europhile like yours truly used to clinically fearsome European minds with no room for illusions gets easily bored with assembly-line robotic wonderboys with fake make-ups. These are the types subscribed to their right to rule and exploit the world at large, yet pretending else. They are the types who, yesterday, were taught colonialism is civilisation for Africa, Vietnam is French Indochina and Algeria France. Today they will market the puppet dictatorship of the youthful banker as the will of a France modernising itself!Methinks the wonderboy is a marketing gimmick! How he will reform France is pretty well known. He was an apprentice under the dismembered François Hollande. He was the minister of economic affairs. He continues from there, now under the domina Angela. He is a ruthless Knight with his sword on the neck of Labour. THE MACRON REFORMS! Here is a tell-all clue Yap, remember this: the history of all mankind hitherto is …. see another European no-nonsense thinker. and then the battlelines are crystal clear: capital versus labour! The word reform is PR terminology, a beguiling, seductive marketing term, like say a cigarette firm can ruse you with, to have you pump yourself full of cancerous nicotine, or , elsewhere, a romantic COMMERCIAL CocaCola fudges you with to addict yourself to a liquid diet of pure sugar, all the way to diabetes blues! I stick with my classical Europeans, like Adam Smith. They don't report reality different! I am well indulged THE MACRO-MERKELIAN REFORMSGermany, ever aiming for a forceful export surplus, is Macron's model.  HOW much of his head is in the clouds, how much feet on the ground, running where they should? Could they beat the Mitterand-Kohl dynamic!?
