Les Enfants du Parody

We have here a look at the sludge from the bottom of the gene pool. Dear Reader, please, consider your health if you dare to read this following story of another of the stupidest women on Earth. Below we will see the mind of the dhimmi at work, or, as is more likely, not at work but idling, as it has throughout its life. This goes beyond mere peasant stupidity and into the realm of evil and sickening French stupidity.

The woman in the story below is so stupid that it must be deliberate. One might wish this creature ill, but the reality is she was probably still-born and her mother didn't bother burying her with the drowned cats and the poisoned mice and the swept-up dust littered with bed-bugs and fleas.

But this dhimmi slug is an example of the types one finds at the link below as we see at slashdot.org. These are creatures so stupid that they will never have clear ideas about anything, moving through life in a haze of feelings, intuitions, prejudices, and resentments uninformed by anything resembling critical and enlightened Human thought. This creature below is likely indicative of the majority of people on Earth; and that is not the end of history, not the way of the world and its people, the high-point of Humanity, as one would fear, but the result of the kind of brain-death one finds in the fascistic world of Islam, a world of peasant subsistence farming, of mental slavery to the ruling obscurantism, whether it be Islam or Communism or Nazism. This p.o.s. woman below is so stupid that nothing will break through the clay that is her mind. The only real solution is to, not as the French elites would have it, as the fascists would have it, to rule this farm animal being from birth to death because she's too stupid to live independently; the course of correct action is to let this creature die a natural death, forget it ever lived at all, and raise children to be supreme in the world of freedom of the mind. That is the choice we face today.

Shall we stupefy the infantalized Human race through Islam and Left dhimmi fascism? Or shall we rise up and continue our revolutions of Modernity? This disgusting beast below is the result of the Left's programme, this evil and repugnant beast who lost her husband to thugs, and who is too fucking stupid to understand even the simple fact that her husband is dead because rioting thugs beat him. If she can't figure it out at this point then we must realize there is no hope of these idiots acting in their own defense. What is to be done, friend?

Widow Blames Sarkozy for Violence

By James Button in Paris
November 9, 2005

Speaking in her apartment in the northern Paris suburb of Stains, Nicole Le Chenadec was calm and clear: Her husband had died after lying in a coma for four days and France's Interior Minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, was to blame.

"He lit the fuse with his provocative remarks," Mrs Le Chenadec told reporters."It is because of him that Jean-Jacques is dead."

After 12 days of rioting on the fringes of Paris and other cities, it is still unclear how the French at large are responding, who they blame, and how the violence will change French politics.

Mrs Le Chenadec is only one person but London-based political scientist Jean-Jacques Reland, who spent the past three or four days in France, said he thought she was not alone in blaming the Government.

"While a large minority say bring in the army, most people think these people [the rioters] are the results of our mistakes," he said. "This problem highlights the failure of integration policy in France."

The death of Mr Le Chenadec, 61 - the first in the violence that has spread across France since October 27 - shocked his suburb, just two train stops north of the centre of Paris.

On Thursday night, several days after Mr Sarkozy's described rioters as racaille, or scum, Mr Le Chenadec went downstairs with his friend Jean-Pierre Moreau to put out a fire that had been lit in some bins by youths.

Mr Moreau has been a social worker in the neighbourhood for decades and felt confident he could talk to the hooded young men gathered on the street.

But when he approached them one punched him in the neck, then hit Mr Le Chenadec in the face, knocking him to the ground. The former Renault worker cracked his skull and fell into a coma.

A woman of Algerian background standing in the crowd with her teenage daughter said the young rioters had no respect and it was time to call in the army.

Public opinion and Islam

We just looked for the first time at slashdot.org, the most idiotic site on the Internet, judging by the comments regarding the riots in France these days. This is what the world is up against. Unbelievable. Roughly 850 comments to this thread, and the vast majority condemn the idea that Islam is a poligion, arguing rather the moron dhimmi lines of poverty and racism as the cause of the friction between Islam and the whole of the world.

Islam religion of peace...

Tete a tete: Fwench Laugh Riot


One would wonder why the Fwench watch television at all if one went by the story below. However, we picked up on a blog from Aetherland that sets it all in perspective. Compare and decide for yourself.

Our first, the real story, sort of, comes from The Guardian:

Riot coverage 'excessive', says French TV boss

Claire Cozens in Amsterdam
Thursday November 10, 2005

One of France's leading TV news executives has admitted censoring his coverage of the riots in the country for fear of encouraging support for far-right politicians.

Jean-Claude Dassier, the director general of the rolling news service TCI, said the prominence given to the rioters on international news networks had been "excessive" and could even be fanning the flames of the violence.

Mr Dassier said his own channel, which is owned by the private broadcaster TF1, recently decided not to show footage of burning cars.

"Politics in France is heading to the right and I don't want rightwing politicians back in second, or even first place because we showed burning cars on television," Mr Dassier told an audience of broadcasters at the News Xchange conference in Amsterdam today.

"Having satellites trained on towns across France 24 hours a day showing the violence would have been wrong and totally disproportionate ... Journalism is not simply a matter of switching on the cameras and letting them roll. You have to think about what you're broadcasting," he said.

Mr Dassier denied he was guilty of "complicity" with the French authorities, which this week invoked an extraordinary state-of-emergency law passed during the country's war with Algeria 50 years ago.

But he admitted his decision was partly motivated by a desire to avoid encouraging the resurgence of extreme rightwing views in France.

French broadcasters have faced criticism for their lack of coverage of the country's worst civil unrest in decades. Public television station France 3 has stopped broadcasting the numbers of torched cars while other TV stations are considering following suit.

"Do we send teams of journalists because cars are burning, or are the cars burning because we sent teams of journalists?" asked Patrick Lecocq, editor-in-chief of France 2.

Rival news organisations today questioned the French broadcasters' decision to temper coverage of the riots.

John Ryley, the executive editor of Sky News, said his channel would have handled a similar story in Britain very differently.

"We would have been all over it like a cheap suit. We would have monstered the story, and I didn't get the impression that happened in France," he said.

We Must Be Lucinda

The following story comes at a great remove from the heat of Paris. Those of us not situated in the City of Lights can only watch and wonder who'll have the last laugh. Le Pen is probably enjoying the view, laughing up his sleeve. The following is excerpted from a newspaper from Canada.
***

"We must be lucid: The Republic is at a moment of truth," Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin said.

"A return to order is the absolute priority."

Mr. de Villepin told parliament that economic stagnation in the ghettos will be addressed with the equivalent of $140-million in subsidies for local associations, 25,000 new government-funded jobs and 15 economic zones with lower taxes.

He also promised to set up an anti-discrimination agency, saying it is necessary for the country to reconsider the way it has dealt with minorities.

"All French people want to return to normality and safety," Mr. de Villepin said.
***

By early evening, French police said the crackdown was showing signs of success.

Cars burned and gangs threw firebombs at police in Toulouse, but overall the unrest seemed diminished as only 66 people had been arrested as of 11 p.m.
***

Some of the suspects were as young as 12.
***

***

The rioters have set fire to businesses, police stations and schools; fired weapons at police; and torched at least 6,000 cars.
***

We must be lucid.
***

Watching in horror, European editorialists and politicians warned that the spreading violence was not a problem only for France.
***

Overall the unrest seemed diminished.

Italian opposition leader Romano Prodi said earlier that an explosion in Italian suburbs is inevitable. "We have the worst suburbs in Europe," he said.

Faced with widespread lawlessness, some people in France have started defending their property. In Seine-Saint-Denis, a suburb of Paris rocked by several nights of unrest, a community group has started patrolling local properties armed with pepper spray and heavy flashlights.

There's little sympathy in these neighbourhoods for the rioters. One 19-year-old was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Monday for throwing a Molotov cocktail at police. His story merited only a few sentences in local newspapers.
***

Subsidies; new government-funded jobs; an anti-discrimination agency. We must be lucid.
***

The main opposition to the measures has come from the left wing of the political spectrum in France. The leftist newspaper Libération said the curfews show that "the reign of Chirac is a tragic farce."

We must be lucid. Some of the suspects were as young as 12.

It's our position here that unless emergency measures come into play within the course of the winter there will be "youths" wild in the streets. If nothing reasonable is done, then it'll be too late for France to repel the likes of Le Pen. "Nothing is done," of course, is office jargon for "no one takes responsibility." Object, verb, (subject.) A passive construction.

We, not being passive or pacifists, urge that the men and women who are able take direct action to ensure that the "youths" do not have a pleasant winter during which they brag about their exploits burning and looting and shooting at the police. We urge that those who can take a message to the "youths" directly, the message being "NO!" Not a moment's rest for them, not a wink of unguarded sleep, not a ride on the train, not a walk in the park.

We urge that the French steal Le Pen's thunder. We must be-- not Lucinda-- we must be lucid. El Cid. Livid!

Boas and Identity Politics (1)

Social science is the fountainhead of today's wisdom in the West. The springs of social science, as we've seen in many earlier posts, arise directly from 18th century counter-Enlightenment proto-fascism. We'll return to those springs during the life of this blog, but today we wish to look at a later development, at early 20th century anthropology and sociology. We feel that there we might gainfully seek the most obvious signs of why we in the West hate our own lives to the point that we literally dress up like savages and cheer the murder of our own by Islam-frenzied religious fanatics.


We will move here from our gazing at the lights of Paris, the fires in the night, the spectacle of Muslim pieties, and the dead man-- beaten for attempting to quell the Islamic fire; some of the following texts in this series on Left dhimmi fascism might well be difficult to read due to the style the authors prefer, the pretentious style of Adorno and the post-modernist poseurs who have almost nothing to say and who say it in Latinate garble. We must, though, wade through the syntactic muck to discover what it is that we, as a general intellectual culture, take as our own ideas and opinions. Frankly, with a bit of clear light shining on the ideological premises from the Left dhimmi fascists we will find ourselves embarrassed and disgusted by our assumptions of 'the way it is.' Our ideas, floating in the aether, as it were, actually come from concrete sources, and we'll examine some of them here, beginning now with Franz Boas.

When we write on "philobarbarism" we mean the love of barbarians. We've written before that barbarians cannot love themselves as barbarians because the critical distance to know oneself as a barbarian is impossible; only one above the stage of barbarism can love barbarism; therefore, we might look at the affectation of philobarbarism by analogy: the effeminate and flaccid homosexual who fawns over the leather-clad biker. It is that that the philobarbarist intellectual is in comparison to the Muslim. One significant difference between homosexuals and the philobarbarists and Muslims is that the former are few, more or less private in their activities, and that they are not bent on world domination and murder of the mass of Humanity. Drape an Arab headscarf around the Harris Tweed-covered shoulders of a Left fascist dhimmi and watch him swoon over the macho "freedom fighter."

The style of the times, the attitudes we hold to without thinking them through, without knowing their origins and histories, the common beliefs we have, they come in large part from listening to others say "this and that" and "the poor" and the "freedom fighters" and so on. Who has the time or the inclination to devle into the texts to discover the nature of our public ideas? No, we rely on our media, on our politicians, on our public intellectuals, and on our fellow men and women to tell us what is the nature of the common good. We live in trust. Yes, we are betrayed, and evily so, but we cannot easily shake the idea that most people, most of whom are our friends and relatives and community members are totally wrong in their expressions of questions concerning our public social lives. The war? The economy? The state of things? We get most of our ideas from others, not from any close examination of the texts that inform them. And rightly so. We don't want the chaos of every man for himself. We long to get along. But we are badly betrayed. We cannot continue down this path to complete ruination without stopping to examine our postions and finding out where we've taken a wrong turn. We're being screwed by our intellectual guides who follow their own fancies, and to hell with us. Well, it's time to part company with them and find new leaders, men such as Robert Spencer, for example.


Most people have no clue about the realities of the physical sciences, and those who do have only a layman's understanding of them. Who, outside a small group of professionals, has the time or talent to grasp the intricacies of science? And because we live in a milieu of science, of a culture that prizes science above nearly all else intellectual, we satisfy ourselves with pseudo science, with the arcana of anthropology, for example, as digestible and knowable. We, being intellectuals, can mouth strange incantations and speak deep mysteries akin to science, and we can at the least make moralistic noises that seem to sound brilliant. We can impress ourselves and each other with fancy terms and phrases, and we can also speak truths philosophical. Yes, all of that, and we never have to open a book. We merely have to listen to what smart people say, and then we say what they said, only we say it better than they. Or so we hope.

Forget that hard stuff of hard science. We have social science.

Edward O. Wilson writes:

[S]ocial scientists as a whole have paid little attention to the foundations of human nature, and they have had almost no interest in its deep origins.

The social sciences are hampered in this last regard by the residue of strong historical precedent. Ignorance of the natural sciences by design was a strategy fashioned by the founders, notably Emile Durkheim, Karl Marx, Franz Boas, and Sigmund Freud, and their immediate followers. They aimed to isolate their nascent disciplines from the foundational sciences of biology and psychology, which at their inception of the social sciences were in any case too primitive to be of clear relevance. This stance was fruitful at first. It allowed scholars to search widely for patterns in cultural and social organization unencumbered by the patronage of the natural sciences, and to compose such laws of social action as the prima facia evidence demanded. But once the pioneering era ended, the theorists were mistaken not to include biology and psychology. It was no longer a virtue to avoid the roots of human nature. (Edward O.Wilson, Consilience. Toronto: Alfred A Knopf; 1998, p. 184.)

In a flourish of German irony, we won't bother quoting directly from Boas here. Let's call it laziness. (It ain't our fault, man.) What we will do is look a little more at Wilson, and then over the course of the next few days we'll look at an anthropologist's essay on "identity."

It's our thesis that the Left is no longer identifiable as a political movement in its classical sense but that it is a degeneration into fascism and philobarbarism. Here we look further at how that came about. We see that the early social scientists were reacting against Social Darwinism, the concocted idea that some cultures are so much better than others that those who aren't strong enough must by biological necessity die out and be taken over by those better. Well, so far so good; but the problem is the death of people who, through no fault whatsoever, die in the race to supremacy, a race they do not sensibly have anything to do with. The race is considered to be started and run and won by capital. The result is the destruction of cultures and people, those who have lived from time beginning till the advent of capitalism, in a state of pristine Nature. According to the social scientists, the rise of capital is evil in that it wipes out the innocent for the sake of machines and exploiters, and no good comes of it regardless of the product. The result of the race of capital is one of racism and genocide. Who wins? Only the privileged and the rich-- at the expense of the world at large. This is, on the face of it, hard to argue with. From this position comes the moral stance so many philobarbarists strike when they condemn capital. No right-thinking person wants to strip forests and plunder the Earth for the sake of idiots in Manhattan. No one wants to support factory owners at the expense of peasant families who've lived on the same farm for thousands of years. However, rather than look at the nature of Humanity to see the reality of the life of Man, the social scientists within our view here relied rather on ideologies and Romance philosophy from Germany in the late 18th century to inform their positions and theses.

The theorists were inhibited from probing in that direction [of analysing human nature] by another problem endemic to the social sciences: political ideology.... With caution swept aside by moral zeal, they turned opposition into the new ideology of cultural relativism. (Wilson: p. 184.)

One must realize the origins of this movement before one condemns it outright. Anthropologists were discovering for the first time people in primitive cultures in far-flung places, and those people were utterly defenseless against Modernity. They were faced with extermination. Social Darwinism allowed for it philosophically on the grounds that the barbarians were unfit in the biological world of the survival of the fittest. To the fore came a class of [mostly, and mostly unmarried and childless,] educated women in history, who had made for themselves a profession unknown before in history: social work. These professional social workers and anthropologists, Margaret Mead, for example, became the high-lights of philobarbarist cultural relativism. Their intentions, like those of so many of those who today consider themselves Leftist, were lofty. So lofty in fact that they never touched the solid Earth.

Believing it a virtue that all cultures are equal but in different ways, Boas [et al,] ... lent strength in the United States and other Western democracies to political multiculturalism. Also known as identity politics, it holds that ethnics, women, and homosexuals possess subcultures deserving of equal standing with those of the "majority," even if the doctrine demotes the idea of a unifying national culture. (pp 184-85.)

When we continue here we'll look at the devolution of rights to identity politics and interest. We will see the end in the Left of the 'Universality of Man' as first enacted in the American Revolution and in the French Revolution. The point is that when the social scientists rushed out to protect the rights of barbarians, they gave a place of privilege to the whole, to the family, to the clan, to the tribe. What they lost was the rights of the individual, a concept they could not accommodate within the scope of ideology of the collective of the Natural Man. the philobarbarist was not interested in the person but in the romance of the culture. They were interested only in the ideology of identity. When we return next we'll look at an essay that shows this line of reasoning, clearly perhaps, but also in a style that some might find tedious and obnoxious. We'll do our best here to make it presentable to our readers.

New French Minister of Islamic Affairs


Sacher-Masoch, Leopold Ritter von (auch: Charlotte Arand, Zoe von Rodenbach), * 27. 1. 1836 Lemberg (LwĂ­w, Ukraine), † 9. 3. 1895 Lindheim bei Frankfurt am Main (Deutschland), Erzähler, Dramatiker, Feuilletonist, Essayist; Onkel von Artur Wolfgang von Sacher-Masoch.

For further details on the new French minister of Muslim affairs click below:

France on Tuesday declared a state of emergency in riot-hit parts of the country in order to combat an outbreak of urban unrest and moved to facilitate access to the job market and stamp out racial discrimination.

A leading Muslim cleric based in Qatar has called on Muslim communities in France to be "calm and reasonable," while Turkey urged immigrant communities in Europe to stay away from the riots.

Meeting in crisis session under the chairmanship of President Jacques Chirac, the Cabinet invoked a 50-year-old law originally drawn up at the start of the Algerian war which permits the declaration of curfews, house searches and a ban on public meetings. The measure was to come into effect at midnight after the government issued a decree setting out the geographical limits for the state of emergency.

The left-leaning Le Monde newspaper said that "exhuming a 1955 law sends to the youth of the suburbs a message of astonishing brutality : that after 50 years France intends to treat them exactly as it did their grandparents."

It was the toughest response to date to nearly two weeks of rioting in the country's high-immigration suburbs which has left more than 6,000 cars burned, public and private property destroyed, tens of policemen injured and one civilian death . More than [!?]1,500 people have been detained.

Acknowledging the accumulation of social and economic handicaps in the Arab community, Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin acknowledged that jobseekers with foreign-sounding names were not always given equal consideration with applicants with traditional French-sounding names when they presented their resumes.

He announced the creation of an anti-discrimination agency, the allocation of 20,000 state-paid jobs for inhabitants of poor suburbs, an extra 100 million euros ($120 million) for associations working there, and the creation of 15 new special economic zones with tax-breaks for employers.

In Qatar, leading cleric Sheikh Youssef al-Qaradawi insisted that France was a friend and called on Muslim communities in the country ripped by urban violence to be "calm and reasonable."

Qaradawi, who hosts a popular show on Al-Jazeera, also called on French authorities to go beyond restoring security and start dialogue with Muslim community leaders .

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan issued a similar pledge to Turkish communities in Europe saying: "Those who claim to be the victims of discrimination and injustice cannot acquire their rights by violence, by attacking innocent people and their property."

"I call on our 4.5 million Turkish compatriots [in Europe] to act with common sense and caution," he said.

While condemning the spread of violence, the Arab media has mainly blamed riots on longstanding social malaise, unemployment and alienation.

***
In Lebanon, the An-Nahar newspaper said: "What is happening in France today shows the flagrant failure of the integration of immigrants.

"While it may be normal to give priority to security [concerns], the remedy to this situation cannot be limited to just that ... as the causes of this absence of integration should be tackled," it said.

Qatar's Asharq newspaper said: "There may have been wrongful reactions by the immigrants ... in attempting to obtain some of their rights, but the problem is [based] on l ong-standing cultural and human" disparities.

An editorial by the U.A.E.'s Khaleej Times said: "Immigrants may have a grievance or two, but should they go to this length and disrupt life this way? France has all along helped the millions of immigrants to live their lives with dignity ... for a mistake or two, no one must punish a country like this." - Agencies

Day of the Nuit


Look at what happens in a nation that is not Islam-friendly. A vote comes due, and the politicians fall over themselves to plunge into the Islamic pool. We see the emergence of foul-smelling rats. We see our politicians turning the voters into jackals.

Where do the people turn when the electable leaders, not the fringe candidates on the extremes of politics but the ordinary men and women of the nation, stink to high heaven? What is the average voter to think when his own representative goes against him in search of election? What is the average person to think when leaders of a nation consort with the enemy to win a democratic race that results in betrayal of democracy itself?

France is burning this evening. So too is Germany. Denmark. Belgium. And what can we expect from them, the leaders of nations in the thick of Islamic violence, when the time comes for them to court votes? We will write nothing further on this for today other than to leave at the end of this post a link to a long and boring minimanual we hope people will read for its historical interest. The minimanual is meant not as a physical blueprint for action but as a manual for psychological preparation for this struggle ahead, one that is explicitly organizational. As we have written many times and consistently, the Muslim is a police matter; but Islam is a matter for us all. Yes, we urge our readers to act as extra-parliamentary oppositionists, and that has in the past meant groups we cannot abide, but that is where we must pick up from our politicians and make of our experiences what we will.

Anti-Turkish Austria courts local Turkish vote

AP , VIENNA
Monday, Oct 24, 2005,Page 6

Most Austrians -- and most of the country's major political parties -- vehemently oppose Turkey's bid to join the EU. But it's election time in Vienna, and suddenly those same parties are courting the local Turkish vote.

So how do you meld the conflicting interests of appealing to the mainstream Turkophobe Austrian electorate while catering to voters of Turkish origin whose ballot will make a difference in yesterday's capital's election?

"It's tough occasionally," conceded Nurten Yilmaz, an Austrian of Turkish origin, as she took a break from handing out red balloons and folders urging voters -- Turkish and otherwise -- to vote for her Social Democratic Party.

Only one of the five parties running for City Hall -- the xenophobic Freedom Party -- is not fielding a Turkish candidate. Instead, it appeals to the rabidly anti-Turkish fringe vote with posters declaring "Liberated Women instead of the Mandatory Headscarf," and "German instead of `Don't Understand.'"

But with most of Austria's 200,000-strong Turkish community living in Vienna, a city of about 1.5 million people, the other parties cannot ignore their vote.

Many Turks here are skeptical of their sudden popularity -- and with reason.

"I've been here for 20 years but I'm still not fully accepted," Mehmet Akar said in strongly accented German as he stopped at Yilmaz's stand in Vienna's 16th District, where kebab stores are next to shops offering more traditional Austrian goods.

Recent EU surveys show only one in 10 Austrians backs the idea of Turkey joining the bloc. Austria tends to have little political clout in the EU. Yet it took days of intense pressure from the bloc's 24 other member states for Vienna to abandon its attempt earlier this month to scuttle talks with Turkey on future full membership.
***

In Austria, there is no such clear divide on the Turkish question. But the People's Party -- the governing party nationally -- seems to be fighting an uphill battle because of its vehement opposition to Turkish EU membership.

Turkish candidate Sirvan Ekici repeatedly canceled appointments with a reporter wanting to accompany her during campaigning. Even the rightist BZOE has fielded a candidate of Turkish origin, despite past opposition to immigrants by its leading figures, including populist firebrand Joerg Haider.

Even the rightist BZOE has fielded a candidate of Turkish origin.

Our natural good humor leaves us at times, and we are left scowling. What are these people thinking? Worse, what are we thinking? We're thinking that the French will appease the Muslim rioters now, and that when the next election comes due they will sell out to the Muslims for a sou. We are left looking in absolute disgust and bewilderment. Our political leaders have exchanged day for night, and they expect us to nod and smile. This cannot continue without a revolt of the people.

The Fire Next Time

"[T]he unpreparedness of the educated classes, the lack of practical links between them and the mass of the people, their laziness, and, let it be said, their cowardice at the decisive moment of the struggle will give rise to tragic mishaps."

Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth
***
We begin with a look at the last federal election in France in which Le Pen, a neoNazi, came second in the presidential elction. What will happen next, now that the Muslims have given him and his lot the ultimate election cmpaign platform?

We'll move from that to a closer look at those who are rioting and burning crippled women on buses, the sort of activities that will push the reluctant into the waiting arms of the reactionaries and the fascists. Yes, the victims of society must have their say here. No, that would not be the average French. We leave you, dear reader, to form your own conclusions regarding what is to be done.

Shock success for French far right

The far-right nationalist, Jean-Marie Le Pen, has won enough votes to take on Jacques Chirac to become the President of France, in the most staggering election result in European politics in years. [....]

Thousands of people took to the streets around France after the preliminary results were announced, to demonstrate against Mr Le Pen and his anti-immigration policies.

The BBC's James Coomarasamy in Paris says that although the National Front leader had been climbing in the polls, no-one expected Mr Le Pen would upset the status quo in such a dramatic way.

'Big defeat'

The final polls before the vote put the 73-year-old former paratrooper on 13% or 14%, compared with 18% for Mr Jospin.

With 97.75% of the vote counted, Interior Ministry figures showed Mr Chirac on 19.67%, Mr Le Pen on 17.02% and Mr Jospin on 16.07%.
[....]

"There is first and foremost the rejection of the people who have governed them so inefficiently... and then the hope for change."

He added: "The chances of me winning the second round don't depend on me but on the French electorate, the French people's desire to rip out the decay that is hitting our country."
[....]

'Cataclysm'
[....]

Mr Jospin's Finance Minister, former Prime Minister Laurent Fabius, called Mr Le Pen's unexpected triumph "a cataclysm of terrifying proportions".

President Chirac told his supporters that the preliminary result put in question France's future and its values of respect and tolerance.

"Today, what is at issue is our national unity, the values of the republic to which all we French are deeply attached," he said.

"At issue is the future of France, of even the idea we have of our country, of its great humanist tradition, of its universal calling," he said.

"Also at issue is our capacity to live together and respect each other."

Holocaust

The far-right leader who in 1987 described the holocaust as a "detail of history" toned down his usual anti-immigrant rhetoric in this campaign, as law and order - his other main preoccupation - came to the fore.

French police report 186 new arrests amid urban unrest

Compiled by Daily Star staff
Monday, November 07, 2005

Spreading urban unrest-- with arson attacks on vehicles, nursery schools, and other targets in France from the Mediterranean to the German border-- reached central Paris for the first time since it began ten days ago, and police on Sunday reported 186 arrests nationwide.

The unrest is forcing France to confront long-simmering anger in its suburbs, where many Arabs and Africans and their French-born children live on society's margins, struggling with high unemployment, racial discrimination and despair.

Just off the highway linking Paris and its Charles de Gaulle airport, Aulnay-sous-Bois is one of many dreary suburbs where unemployment is significantly higher than the national average of about 10 percent. In the rougher estates, it probably reaches 30-40 percent or more, feeding a widespread sense there's not much residents can do to get ahead. "Even if you have a university degree, in the end all they give you is a broom," hisses an Algerian cafe owner.

Fouzi Guendouz worries he won't get a summer job next year because he comes from this riot-hit suburb of 80,000 residents.

"It's already hard enough to get a job when you have an Arab name like mine," says the 20-year-old business student of Algerian origin. "Now my address is against me too."

Guendouz has no time for politicians who urge residents of foreign origin to make more efforts to integrate: "I was born here, I went to school here, I'm a French citizen - how much more integrated can I get? That's an insult, it's stupid."

[....]

Sonia Imloul, who works with troubled teens in the northeastern Paris suburb worst-hit by the unrest, says youths are often trapped.

"It is very, very difficult to leave this place," she said.

"There is a stigma attached to being a resident of this place."

Many single mothers are left to fend alone, said Imloul, whose Algerian parents were divorced before her father's death. She is a single mother herself.

"Fathers do not play any role in their children's lives. The father doesn't exist at all," she said.

She said about 40 percent of families in the suburbs where she works are dysfunctional, which explains [?] the high rate of school dropouts, drug use and trafficking, petty crimes and
aggressive behavior. Police records burden youths arrested for petty crime, preventing them from building their futures.

"Those who set fire to cars and buildings are not criminals. They are young kids. What are 12-year-olds doing in the streets at midnight? Parents have no control over them," she said.

Rawa Khalil, 15, has no interest in education. "No motivation," she says simply. It is easier to become a hair stylist and marry and have children, she adds.

Defeatism hits parents, too, and some are accomplices to their children's crimes. Some mothers help their sons sell drugs, Imloul said, by hiding the drugs in their homes.

Most parents, however, are law-abiding people who fear for their children, she said.

Holding her little daughter, a young mother named Ghislaine says the protesting youths have no right to trash things, but sympathizes with their frustration.

"The police are really rough with them," she says. "If they're Arab or black, they constantly get stopped to have their ID card checked. It's no wonder they're fed up with it." - Agencies

One can only guess at how fed up are the people of France with the lumpen-proletariat they've imported, and of the scum of the Earth whom they did not import but who followed the rat-lines and made there ways into France anyway, to nest, to swarm, to gnaw and wreck. We are faced with the cowards of France who must run against the Lepen-proletarians. This is a bad choice all round. Muslims, Left dhimmi fascist, White fascists, and the government of filth people. Good grief.

Confronting Reality

Some kids burn cars in the streets, and others work at making them fly. Today we have stories about how we think of our lives, the purpose of being. We have a piece on Somali pirates attacking ships off the Horn of Africa, and we have a story about a Korean boy, about the chaos of Somalia and the dedication of Koreans to educating their children. Like it or not, people make their own decisions, and if Muslims in Somalia choose to raise their children to be garbage people the Somalis aren't going to be rocket scientists. The French are caught in the middle, and it's there we'll start this post, by looking at the situation as objectively as possible, hoping that the solution to the crisis of Somali in France can turn into a Korean solution. We approach this obliquely:

Re: Politics of Confrontation.

Shiva and I have written on this often, my take coming from the U.S. and France in the late 1960s when the New Left, (the red diaper babies,) response to their parents' old-style party-based Communism was seen to be an obvious failure in the eyes of the public, i.e. the working classes, amd the New Left left the backrooms of the union halls and took to the campuses of elite Western colleges to bring forth the people's revolution. Unsurprisingly, in spite of the high rhetoric of the New Left the working classes weren't buying into Communist revolution, given that they were relatively prosperous and paying dearly for their children's educations. Young radical students though, raised in the atmosphere of combined Stalinism and affluence, felt themselves to be intellectually and morally superior to their parents, and seeing clearly that the working classes were "part of the problem" rather than part of the solution abandoned the working classes as counter-revolutionary and as reactionary, and they took to a new constituency for support and power: the barbarians and lumpen-proletariat, i.e. the Third World peasants and the street people in ghettos, abandoning the classical thrust of socialist concern, the working people.

There arose the clear division between the Left classical socialist and the Left fascist, which to this moment most of our Leftist contributors don't understand. Briefly, the New Left, not having any base in the working classes took up with barbarians, hence "philobarbarism," and, with no support from the Old Left Communists, were cut adrift from their roots.

Like today's homicide bombers, the Left fascists had little actual power but a great deal of media awareness, which they put into action in the politics of confrontation in the streets of major Western cities, rioting, battling with police, and cetera. The idea, fairly successful, was to confront the authorities with an intolerable situation that would require, in the interests of the state, that the state act in violent response against the Left and its constituents, thereby radicalizing the marginals, drawing them in and dividing them between those who supported state reaction and those who would by necessity side with the "revolutionaries" to halt genocide. To start riots in Watts would be to expose the racism inherent in the system, would show the white police beating the black rioters, and would thereby show the world just how evil the whole system is, forcing people to take sides even though they'd rather live quietly and go to work and raise their children.

This is the "politics of confrontation" that Shiva and I write about. We feel that to stir the pot and bring to the surface the clear evidence of our problems will divide the nations' people between those who will fight and those who will side with our enemies, there really being no middle ground left. We will find that there is a problem that cannot be solved by dialogue alone, and that those who do not attempt to sovle it by rational means are part of the problem.

[Before anyone jumps to the wrong conclusion that I or Shiva promote terrorist vigilantism, please search here for posts, and there are many, on the legitimate rule of law in legitimate states. cf www.jihadwatch.org.]

You may turn to the review [just singing in the rain] and excerpts from Eugene Methvin, The Riot Makers, a classic look at the mind of those who followed the politics of confrontation to its limits.
***

The riots in Paris continued for the tenth straight night, and as usual there is much nonsense about racism, bigotry, social alienation brought about by the evils of the system, and cetera. It's not only tiresome, it's not convincing to any but the most idiotic of ideologues and fools, of whom there are many. But the situation changes, however gradually, when the fire comes home, as it's doing in France. The question is when will the majority of French and other Westerners accept the situation for what it objectively is: a mass movement to primitivise the Western world in accord with Left dhimmi Counter-Enlightenment neo-feudalism. In other words, the Left dhimmi fascist agenda of destroying progress, the concept of linear historical movement in favor of cyclical and primitive agricultural existence based on a pre-industrial economy and social structure is trying to destroy the Modern world in favor of a fascistic "Return to Nature." Media-smart Leftists and sophist philosophers of Left dhimmi fascism use the primitives as proxies to destroy the industrial and technological West in the hopes of destroying capitalism and its progress toward individuality and privacy. It's not different now from the 1960s politics of confrontation; but it is we, older and wiser, and on to the tricks of fascism who can turn this table around at long last and sling our future even further into progressive Modernism if only we will.

So, let us compare the futures of our possible worlds. First we can look at the vison presented by the Left dhimmi fascists, and from there we'll look at the future Korea presents. Regarding the politics of confrontation, we leave that to the reader to consider in the privacy of his/ her own mind.

Pirates may have also attacked UN ship

CTV.ca News Staff

A group of pirates that attacked a luxury cruise liner were likely responsible for seizing a UN vessel in June, a Kenyan official said Sunday.

The Seabourn Spirit was 160 kilometres off Somalia when two speedboats closed in on the vessel and opened fire with machine-guns and a rocket-propelled grenade.

[.....]

Rogers said the captain evaded the pirates by increasing speed and charging their two boats. The pirates then "scurried away," he said.

[....]

Andrew Mwangura, head of the Kenyan chapter of the Seafarers Assistance Program, told The Associated Press that the pirates are likely responsible for hijacking a UN-chartered vessel on June 27.

The crew was held hostage for 100 days, until the ship ran out of fuel. It was on a humanitarian mission to Somalia, carrying food aid.

Mwangura told AP the pirates likely belong to a group that operates along Somalia's 3,025 kilometre coastline.

[....]

The Somali coast is known to be infested with pirates, who are becoming more and more brazen.

According to the International Maritime Bureau (IMB), at least 23 hijackings and attempted seizures have been recorded off Somalia's coastline since mid-March.

Two days ago, the World Food Programme (WFP) warned that such activity had hampered delivery of relief supplies to more than 500,000 people in the region.

Due to its impact on tourism, the Seafarers' Assistance Programme (SAP) is planning to convene Monday to discuss this latest attack -- the first on a cruise ship off the Somalia coast.

Somalia has been without a functioning government since the 1991 ouster of dictator Mohamed Said Barre, and is now overrun by warlords.

Song Yoo-geun, 8, wants to build flying cars, defying Newton's law of gravity, and the physics genius which has made him Korea's youngest university student may very well drive him to that dream.

Amid scholastic achievements that have confounded experts, the public spotlight is squarely on the child prodigy and his parents, both 46 and both former teachers. What has made Yoo-geun - born late November 1997 and actually just shy of 8 years old - so special?

His parents differ from the vast majority of Korean parents who show a passion approaching zeal for their children's education.

"No fixed daily routines for our boy," said Yoo-geun's parents. "Yoo-geun has a monthly schedule only. Rather than being confined by a rigid timetable, Yoo-geun has the freedom to explore every field he wants to."

While other children his age are first graders at elementary school, he is a freshman at the Physics Department of Inha University in Incheon, west of Seoul.

Song Yoo-geun

He set a record by completing elementary, junior-high and high school curricula in just nine months - a progression that normally takes Koreans 12 years - before being admitted to university.

With no school record to rely on for screening Yoo-geun's qualifications, the university tested him through an interview in October. He surprised professors by explaining the Schroedinger equation, which is of central importance to the theory of quantum mechanics.

Experts say the equation, proposed by the Austrian physicist Erwin Schroedinger in 1925, plays a role analogous to Newton's second law in classical mechanics.

[....]

The interview was conducted mainly with the senior Song since Yoo-geun is lacking in his ability to communicate with adults.

"I think it's good to let my son do whatever he wants," the father said. According to him, when Yoo-geun is engrossed in solving math problems or doing games, he often concentrates on them for up to 14 or 15 hours. "He likes to reach conclusions, even it takes a long time."

He said his son wants his to undertake research at CERN, the world's largest particle physics laboratory near Geneva.

Yoo-geun's dream is to make flying cars, based on the superstring theory - an attempt by science to explain all particles and forces of nature by representing them as vibrations of tiny strings.

"It goes against Newton's law. Everything on earth gets drawn to the surface by gravity, but in the case of flying cars, it's different," Song said. "There should exist the same opposite magnitude of power as the earth's gravity-pull. So, a balance is formed between gravity and reaction, which makes flying cars float in the atmosphere," he explained.

"To study more on flying cars and the super-string theory, Yoo-geun wants to join CERN," the father said.

Yoo-geun first made headlines in March last year when he received a certificate for information-processing, normally given to professional engineers in their 20s or 30s. A KBS-TV program introduced his extraordinary talent in physics last November.

In March this year, he went to an elementary school but after a few days said he didn't feel suited to the school system. He took a test to obtain a diploma certifying graduation from elementary school, and passed it.

But the Song family became embroiled in legal disputes with the school authorities after they refused to approve the exam result and issue a diploma.

In April, the Song family won the case. Afterwards, on April 5, Yoo-geun passed the middle school-level entrance exam, followed on Aug. 3 by the high school-level entrance exam. In October he was admitted to the Physics Department of Inha University.

Then Science and Technology Minister Oh Myung labeled Yoo-geun as "the first prodigy in science" and promised to offer him scholarships for five years. Oh said the government will provide support for him to be able to experiment at state-run research institutes and study at universities abroad.

Yoo-geun's father is basically against prodigy schools because, he says, their institutional methods prevent children from growing creatively. Plus, he added, it's absurd to produce the same number of gifted students every year.

Nationwide there are currently 23 such schools, which accept a set number of students. What about other gifted students who, unfortunately, weren't allowed to enter? The standards to determine genius become unclear, the senior Song said.

Asked if media attention is burdensome, he said "proper attention" is desirable because proper media attention can enable encouragement to be passed on. Furthermore, it will generate more interest in physics, an area which is declining but fundamental to advancing science.

Song also said he hopes media attention can help Yoo-geun become the Park Se-ri of physics. By winning many LPGA golf championships, Park became a model for young, aspiring golfers. After Park, plenty of female Korean golfers such as Kim Mi-hyun and Grace Park and Michelle Wie have figured prominently on the women's golf circuit.

"Public attention on Yoo-geun shouldn't stop here. I'd like to see more kids go along the same path, shoulder to shoulder with Yoo-geun," said Song.

[....]

"I believe, above all, the first priority in education is to make every child happy, said Song.

"The single most important thing in education is to find a favorable, encouraging environment for a kid - in other words, let him be," he concluded.

Mr. Song has not only the right idea, letting children be, but also the kind of child one can let be. Muslims, grinding their children into the muck of Islam also let them be: feral. In Korea a gifted child has numerous schools to apply to, and if there's a shortage one must assume there will be spaces available for them at other schools abroad. Those children are wanted-- desperately. The desperate, we don't want them and we can't seem to get rid of them. Kids who make cars fly, and kids who make car bombs. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who we want and who we want to rid ourselves of.

How do we confront the issue of Muslim rioters who school themselves in jihad? We leave it for smart people to figure that out.
