I didn’t post yesterday. I’ve been researching a longer piece on MERS, but it seemed inappropriate to send it out with France in flames. The worst of the violence seems to have subsided, but the destruction has been considerable: As of yesterday 5,000 vehicles have been torched and nearly 1000 buildings damaged, many of them by arson, including
I lived in France during the 2005 riots, which made me decide to write my senior thesis for university on North African immigration in France in 2007. My conclusion at the time: It was a mess, government policies had been short-sighted, and immigrant communities had failed to integrate for a number of reasons. No one was in the right and things would only get worse. I wish I had been wrong.
North African immigration was only ever intended to be temporary, i.e. as temporary laborers starting in the 1960's. The French government did not anticipate many wanting to stay and bring their families. So, we're looking at decades of poor and temporary decisions stacked on top of each other. The second- and third- generation immigrants are often far more radicalized than the first because they feel like they don't belong and it's hard for them to find employment. But that's largely because the culture that's developed in the banlieueus is so toxic.
There is no short-term resolution here. This trend of violence and instability will continue and worsen — because no one I'm aware of has any workable plan to sort it out.
Just shows that behavior of “ new ‘ people doesn’t conform to the norms of a civilized society. We saw this in Newark and Detroit in the 60s. We saw it all over with the Covid riots where a hoodlum died with lethal drugs at incredibly high levels and no injury to his trachea and the elites welcomed the riots as reparations for events of almost 200 years ago and still yak about paying the rioters for their bad behavior. France need to stop immigration. France for the French is the wisest policy. Diversity doesn’t work. When will it be admitted.
Not only do migrants corrode the native social structures targeted by globalists for revision and replacement, but the very problems they cause provide an excuse for an expansion in the power of the managerial state.
This can't be allowed to continue. In addition to the terrorism you mention, the constant background hum of street crime, the general filth and disorder, there's also the attacks upon churches and priests. It is intolerable. The formal political structures have been largely subverted by those who feed and water this monster; having so thoroughly betrayed their nations, they have no moral legitimacy left to call upon. The governments of Western Europe are now as alien as the invaders they've invited in.
As you note, much of this is supported by American power. I'm tacitly hopeful that the gradual loss of the dollar's reserve currency status will attenuate this influence, and make it harder for Washington's quislings to keep a lid on popular rejection of their imperial policies. Although when the lid comes off it will probably get very messy. What we're seeing in France right now is likely only a taste of what's to come.
Thank you for covering what the Lugenpresse ignores. The Netflix movie Athena is a visceral portrayal of this new normal Anarcho tyranny. Jean Raspail tried to warn the French 50 years ago. After Charie Hebdo, Bataclan, and Nice, how much patience to the French have left for WEF court eunuchs like Macron? https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-speak-french-part-2
One important issue immigration-friendly policies rarely seem to take into account is that developing countries tend to have significantly decreased equality between the sexes. This makes young men freer than young women, and as a result they tend to the be the ones emigrating and immigrating. They are a poor match for women in their host countries, and find themselves reluctant incels, something that understandably increases anger, rootlessness and violence, including against the women they feel are rejecting them. Basic biological facts seem to be broadly denied these days, with wide-ranging effects.
Another basic fact that has been thoroughly ignored, again with terrible results, are the cultural differences between immigrants and host countries. When these differences are too big, clashes are inevitable. Especially immigrants with strong and militant muslim backgrounds seem to be resistant to assimilation.https://www.opindia.com/2022/05/sweden-immigration-integration-immigrants-prime-minister-violence/
Yes, it's deeply fascinating how one person's (or angry teenager's) outburst is regarded as legitimate critizism of state overreach while another person's outburst (or peaceful demonstration) is regarded as illigitimate, quasi-Hitlerite would-be coup, depending on whether it fits the state and the media's agenda.
To put it another way: if 20% of Germans decide to use their right to vote to protest the reigning coalition, their fault is all theirs and they are "brown scum" (copyright: Verfassungsschutzchef of Thuringia). If hundreds of disenchanted French teenagers from ethnic minorities start destroying state property, it's a sadly slightly too passionate exercise in antiracist consciousness raising.
We in western Europe are being overrun, steadily and with no end in sight.
Here in Blighty, 'controversial opinion' now embraces the beliefs and concerns of most of the public; however, now that the banks are eagerly depriving the 'controversial' elements of society- aka most of us- of banking facilities, financial as well as social cancellation is now the order of the day.
Weasely Chancellor Hunt, whom I wouldn't trust on most counts, has 'expressed concern' and asked for a review... join the dots folks.
We now rely on GB News and the Free Speech Union, both of which have come up against the wokerati of the banking and advertising sectors, to tell it like it is.
Meanwhile the Bank of England is dedicating its substantial resources to directives on ' gender neutral pregnancy' and multi- gender free for all staff lavatories: this takes priority over rampant inflation and the unilateral closure of banking facilities depriving ever more people of a basic necessity.
Finally, I recommend Jean Raspail's Camp of the Saints, Douglas Murray's The Strange Death of Europe and Christopher Caldwell's Reflections on the Revolution in Europe.

Life is pretty normal and not what the news says. Yes, some areas like Clamart have a curfew and there are "hotspots" but generally speaking, everyday life is normal.
On the Thursday night we heard what sounded like fireworks outside and were wondering what it was about ... some football game? On the Friday morning I went out to find some shop windows smashed, and all the banks and ATM machines attacked, with the notable exception of the post office, that is just beside the banks and other shops, but was left alone. And now there is a large queue of people using the post office ATM.
The glass shop fronts were smashed, but there was no looting. Nothing appeared taken/stolen.
Cafes, bars, restaurants were open as normal, and people were out eating, drinking, laughing in the summer weather.
On Saturday we went into central Paris and it was a normal summer's day. Public transport was running normally. Very busy with lots of American accents and tons of tourists. Nothing out of the ordinary.
It is a fact here that there are "cités", basically large modern housing projects usually full of high-rise blocks of flats, that are inhabited by the north African immigrant community. These are located on the outskirts of major cities. It is also a fact that whenever there is rioting or such trouble, it tends to come out of there. That is were there are large concentrations of unemployed youth of north African descent. That is just the way it is. I am not commenting on how this situation emerged or what to do about it. The "hotspots" tend to be near these housing projects. Angry young men come out of these areas, do what they do, and then retreat back.
And while it is true that last Tuesday a 17-year old of north African origin was shot dead, it is also strongly rumoured here (with information to be confirmed) that the officer who shot him is also of similar origins.
Ahhhh... The French get to enjoy a Saint George Floyd/BLM moment that the Americans saw in 2020.
All this propaganda pours from the same Evil source carefully sowing division and death amongst our communities to detract from our focus on them. And it works, every time.
The only solution for the French, and all other Western societies, is to stop all immigration from Muslim countries and African pagan societies, period. It's not that none will assimilate and accept Western values and traditions. The problem is that a sizable minority of each will not, under any circumstances. For example, there is nothing in Sharia Law that can be massaged to fit into any Western society. And immigrants bring their own racial and cultural beliefs and prejudices, which they must give up to assimilate, which they don't want to do.
That the lorry assault drove legislation allowing the shooting of drivers fleeing traffic stops is critical context, yet I had not read it any report until now. A reminder always to read Eugyppius.
Great essay. As I've said in an earlier essay the Globalist Agenda is like a multifaceted Clusterfuck, which is to say there are many agendas being orchestrated globally: Fake Climate Change, Digital ID, Digital Currency, 15 minute cities, restrictions on gas appliances etc. The goal is to reduce the status of every human to that of a slave on a Global Digital Plantation. Immigration serves multiple purposes in the grand globalist agenda: it divides the people while insuring an unending supply of cheap labor. It has been used globally for many decades now but is getting far worse in recent years. Since Biden was "selected" in 2020 between 6 and 15 million Illegal Aliens have been allowed into the US. And certainly the violence in France is more than partially due to the influx of millions of Muslims over the past decade, who do not share "western values.
Review of Prey: Immigration, Islam, and the Erosion of Women’s Rights by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
To be clear I have no enmity toward immigrants. At the same time I also believe that every Illegal Alien that has crossed into the US and EU should be deported. Why? Because the working people of the US and EU are already suffering due to these increasing globalist policies. There is no sin in putting your own people first. If anything we should be helping the growing masses of homeless Americans and Europeans rather than bringing in more cheap labor for the benefit of the global elites. At the same time we should be encouraging these immigrants to fight for their own inalienable rights in their countries of origin.
Open Borders are just another part of Biden's Globalist Plan to destroy the United States and the rest of the developed world
Biden and the Democrats are putting American Citizens last and footing us with the bill
This is absolutely exactly what is taking place!! Perfect..
Note ‘Macron’ et al were partying at Elton John concert while gorillas and guerrillas were running the streets..
These ‘certain protestors’ are doing the job their masters tell them to..it is why they are there..note in some videos..masked young men giggling while letting zoo animals escape..This is plan of the ‘new order’ and these puppet politicians are evil fools with no conscious or sense of morality.. 🙏🏽For France..
"This is about power and they don’t care. They’ll vaccinate billions and take years of heightened mortality in stride. They’ll burn whole cities to the ground if they have to."
It has always been hard for me to believe that they are willing to debase and even largely destroy their own civilization in order to gain or maintain power over it. What's the point of ruling a cesspool?
But at some point, it becomes undeniable. Their goal is to be Satan in hell. We're just along for the ride.
What? You mean Western European and American societies that have evolved, successfully, over hundreds of years are not capable of assimilating millions upon millions of poor, 3rd world immigrants without social upheaval and civil unrest?? I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you! 🤦♂️🙄

Yeah, well, and I'm supposed to swallow this?
There is no opportunistic violence like this in countries that have controlled immigration and maintain their historical cultures and norms.
