NB : the Oran reference is to the 5 july 1962, when about 4000 french pieds noirs were slaughtered in abominable way after the peace was singed, with the french army present not lifting a finger due to orders from the gaullists. It was the start of modern day "French Arab Policy".
Two days ago Galliawatch published an article on the massacre that took place in the Algerian city of Oran on July 5, 1962. The annual commemoration ceremonies had, this year, provoked an angry protest from the communist newspaper Humanité and from Muslim organizations such as MRAP, because of the permission that was accorded to ALLO, one of the organizers of the event, to light the eternal flame under the Arc of Triumph in Paris. Here is a follow-up, by Yves Daoudal, on what happened at the ceremonies. The photo is from a French government website.
Under pressure from the communists, Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy and Minister of Veterans Hamlaoui Mekachera, forbade the laying of a wreath at the Arc of Triumph in memory of the martyrs of Oran. It's an historic first. Even the Nazis did not act like this. The Association of Alumni of Lamorcière High School (ALLO), that each year commemorates the hundreds of people (some sources say 3000) massacred on July 5, 1962 (while the French army remained in its barracks under orders from General de Gaulle), had obtained authorization from the Committee of the Flame to lay a wreath this year at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and to light the flame. The president of ALLO, Jean-Pierre Rondeau, had informed the various associations of Algerian Frenchmen, who, in turn, spread the news on their websites for their members and sympathizers. He had agreed to all the conditions asked of him: no signs, no slogans, no speeches, no mention of any organization except ALLO.

Here is a daily motion vid with a demonstration of the Révolution bleue in support of Danemark, with *excellent* speeches in french, for thoses who understand it. Georges Clément is present, I don't remember if he speaks, he's the guy with mustachios IIRC.

It is false to say the French Army did nothing: there was an officer who disobeyed orders and saved Pieds Noirs. He was an Algerian.
Alaso I don't uinderastand how that filthy racist party who helped the Nazis in 1940, backstabbed the French Army in every war and treated the Harkis (Algerians in French Army) in revolting way, I speak of course from the French Communist Party, I don't understand how it is still legal.
Also I am pretty sure that De Gaulle didn't conisder the Pieds Noirs as pure blooded French. He used them at Cassino and elsewhere but he despised them for being mostly from Spnaish or Italian origin.
Unless you live in a cave, you know that the French team has made it to the finals and will play against Italy on Sunday in Berlin. The "Blues" against the "Blues", since both teams have "Blue" as their color. When France defeated Portugal yesterday in the semi-finals, chaos erupted in many parts of France and, once again, the French people were treated to the sight of cars burning, looting, muggings, destruction of property and even death. The worst incidents were in Lyons, but Paris also became the scene of mass disorder. Occidentalis has drawn on various sources, including Via-Resistancia, for this report.
A reminder that when they speak of "black-white-Arab" France, they are referring to the soccer team of 1998 that was composed of the three ethnic groups and lauded by all as a triumph of diversity. The current team, largely black, was doing poorly until recently. Now that they are winning, it is a return to the atmosphere of 1998. However, last night, "black-white-Arab" also referred to the gangs roaming around the cities, in search of victims.
It's the return of "black-white-Arab" France, as the headlines this morning are calling it. The papers are also trying to minimize, even cover up, the fact that this "return" has been accompanied by numerous flare-ups throughout the country, often violent confrontations with the police, and by the now-customary practice of robbing drivers caught in traffic jams in downtown Lyons...

And they say the English have a soccer hooliganism problem?
I know, this isn't 'hooliganism' - we all know what it is, and the MSM won't admit it. Nor even report it - so the stories grow in the telling, and the silent majority get more annoyed because they're being ignored or lied about and lied to, and then one day it's all going to get very very nasty. And a hell of a lot of innocent people are going to die. A very bad situation.
As to tomorrow, I think I'll be going for Italy (I'm learning it at the moment), but if France win, I'll be happy for Zidane - he's been utterly sublime in the last few games.

Our common peace and security depend more on mutual understanding than demonisation. We, Muslims and non-Muslims, have all been victims of global terrorism, in New York, Madrid, London, Bali and Amman. And yet, five years after 9/11, the war on terrorism is seen by many Muslims as a war on Islam. As Islamophobia and xenophobia grow, the critical distinction between religious extremism and mainstream Islam is increasingly blurred. How do we break out of this cycle of ignorance?
...Anti-western feelings result from what we do, our policies and actions, not from our way of life. Globalisation and an increasingly multicultural west test the mettle of our values. Islamophobia is a threat to our democratic way of life. This cancer should be as unacceptable as anti-semitism. Pluralism and tolerance demand greater understanding and respect from non-Muslims and Muslims alike. The more we learn about each other, the more we will see beyond our differences to a reservoir of common concerns, values and interests.
--------------------- We must learn to love: the parasitic class of welfare collecting mullahs, who leach off the West while promoting hatred of it; the compulsory spousal battery, as prescribed by the Koran; jihad terror, and hate promotion; accomodation of Muslim prayer farting, by using public funds to build facilities; honor Murders; worthless economies sandbagged by injunctions against profits; male license to rape, where 4 male witnesses are not available; hacking limbs off thieves; be-heading videos; prison recruitment of terrorists; Saudi bribery of our academics; bad breath during the Fast; removal of pig symbols; revision of the Crusades; polls that tell us how much Muslims hate us; costly cleansing of food preparation places, to accomodate the pork-haters; etc.
John Espositio has made a fortune, shilling the Muslims are benign snakeoil. The fact that he does it in a UK publication of 7-7 reveals the depth of his depravity.
#2
Muslims seem to want it both ways. You have contradicted yourself. That is what I hear muslims all over the world saying. That westerners treat muslims like crap, but it is o.k. to kill American or Coalition GI's, and it is o.k. to suicide bomb the Jews. The Saudis will throw you in jail, maybe execute you for preaching christianity in the Kingdom, but Cair howls like a dog when you say even the slightest thing against islam. All their demands seem to be backed by the promise of violence, all their lands seem to be endemically stricken by poverty and senseless violence. What the hell are we supposed to think? It's not islamophobia, it's a distaste for bullshit.
#3
Say what you will about Esposito, he is no Dhimmi. He knows full well what the mullahs are preaching, and he is working with them to actively dismantle the resistance to the final solution.
#4
Seafarious:
After serving for 20 years as Ambassador from Italy to Saudi Arabia, the diplomat made a sudden conversion to Islam on retirement. It made me wonder just who he was serving all that time. Don't know the dude's name, but he probably changed it to Muhammad Jihadini or something like that.
#5
Islamophobia is a threat to our democratic way of life. This cancer should be as unacceptable as anti-semitism.
Oh, really ? What is the Zionist group that bombs and decapitates again ?
Anti-semitism is the hate of people for practicing a particular religion, Judaism.
Islamophobia is the reaction to an eighth century caveman's religion preaching to kill all of the rest of us, while remaining within the main stream of Islam.
#6
the people crying islamophobia should be noted - they are the ones provide aid and assistance to our enemies, and when the fit hits the shan, when the first American city gets nuked or WMD'ed, they should be the first to go

During the Cold War, under Ronald Reagans presidency, the United States government paid special attention to Soviet efforts to manipulate world public opinion against the United States.
They referred to these Soviet efforts as active measures. A special unit at the United States Information Agency, headed by a top Soviet analyst, Herbert Romerstein, kept track of the most vicious Soviet tricks and exposed them as frauds to the public.
Among the Soviet fabrications were such gems as the claim, which was widely accepted before it was debunked, that the U.S. government had invented the AIDS virus and was spreading it throughout the Third World to decimate non-white populations.
Today, new masters of disinformation have emerged in Iran, Iraq, and the Palestinian territories.
Although the KGB is no longer behind their efforts to manipulate world opinion, a new corporate entity has emerged. Its active agents tend to be Palestinians, who have learned the ropes fabricating Israeli atrocities.
They are now exporting their wares to Iraq, and according to Israeli officials I spoke to recently in Jerusalem, have been personally involved in fabricating U.S. atrocities in Haditha and elsewhere in Iraq.
To vehicle their fabrications as fact they frequently turn to left-wing activitists working for Human Rights Watch and other NGOs. They are aided by a willing press; from the left-wing Guardian and Independent dailies in Britain, to the French state-owned France2 Television, now defending its reputation in a court case for having allegedly fabricated the Mohammad al-Dura Murder in 2000 that ushered in the 2nd Intifada and killed off any hopes of a peace agreement between Israel and Palestinians.
The most recent example of this new, KGB-style media manipulation operation hit the big screen on June 9, when international media spread worldwide the image of a bereaved Palestinian girl, wailing on a Gaza beach, after an Israeli artillery shell killed her entire family during a picnic.
The only problem was, it never happened at least, not as the media first told the story.
A self-styled military expert for Human Rights Watch, Marc Garlasco, alleged that an Israeli artillery shell, fired in retaliation for Palestinian rocket attacks into Jewish towns inside Israel, had strayed onto the beach and killed the Palestinian family.
The Israelis agreed a bit too hastily that Garlascos version may have been true. They had been firing against Palestinian terrorists several hundred meters away, and agreed to launch an investigation. But as the Israeli government investigation proceeded, all the evidence pointed in another direction.
Garlasco, who has no artillery experience or forensics training, has never explained how a 155 mm artillery shell could explode amid sand dunes without leaving a huge crater. Despite this, international media organizations considered him to be a credible expert, when he accused Israel of the killings.
According to a French Media watch organization, Media ratings, France 2 television quoted Garlasco as claiming that he had picked up scrapnel on the beach from an Israeli artillery shell.
But even Arab media had reported that the beach had been cleaned of scrapnel by Hamas and Palestinian security officials immediately after the incident.
And Israeli officials told me that the wounded who were eventually transported to Israeli hospitals had been picked clean of easily-accessible scrapnel by Palestinian doctors.
Garlasco also misrepresented a meeting he had with the head of the Israeli military forensics team investigating the incident, Maj. Gen. Meir Klifi.
After a three-hour meeting with Klifi and other Israeli officials in Tel Aviv on June 20, Garasco told the Jerusalem Post that he came to an agreement with Gen. Klifi that the most likely cause [of the blast[ was unexploded Israeli ordnance.
But an Israeli official present at the meeting told me that was not the case. We agreed that no Israeli shell was fired at the beach that day, and that we could not yet determine what caused the explosion, he said. It might have been an old Israeli mine, or an unexploded shell. Or it could have been a makeshift explosive device. The Israelis taped the meeting.
The Israeli government has said that Hamas operated an explosives factory not far from the site of the beachfront accident.
Dr. Gerald Steinberg of Bar Ilan University has been tracking non-governmental organizations operating in Israel for several years. Human Rights Watch has a political agenda, based on Israel bashing, and Garlasco is not what he purports to be, he told me in Jerusalem.
An earlier Human Rights Watch report that used Garlasco as a military forensics expert made unverified and unsubstantiated claims that Israel had razed Palestinian neighborhoods in Rafah, on the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, he said.
News organizations plastered the photograph of a terror-stricken six-year old girl, grieving the loss of her family on the Gaza beach, on front pages around the world.
But the photograph was staged by Hamas fighters who rushed to the scene after the explosion, new video footage of the immediate aftermath of the attack shows, Israeli officials believe.
Israeli military officials identified a Palestinian photographer with known ties to Hamas from video footage shot in the aftermath of the beachfront tragedy.
The photographer arrived with Hamas fighters after emergency aid workers had covered the bodies and taken them to ambulances, and could be seen giving direction to aid workers to set up the scene for the photoshoot, an Israeli official who viewed the footage told me.
The Palestinian photographer coached the girl whose photograph hit the front pages around the world, the official said.
This is very similar to the Mohammad al Dura case, the Israeli official said, where Palestinian stage-managers have created fictional facts that many in the media bought into uncritically.
The alleged killing of a 6-year old Palestinian boy by Israeli soldiers in September 2000 led to the second Initifad.
An Israeli army investigation, which examined all footage taken by Palestinian camera crews on scene, concluded that it was physically impossible for Israel soldiers to have shot the boy, since they were positioned around a corner.
Mohammad al Dura and his father could be seen looking fearfully at Palestinian gunmen positioned directly across from them just before they were shot, in video footage that was aired on France 2 television.
The Palestinians were now trying to export their stage-managed massacres to Iraq, the Israeli official said.
Another Palestinian photographer, Mazen Dana, was killed by U.S. forces in Fallujah in 2004 when American soldiers saw him encouraging Fallujah residents to stage a riot for a camera crew.
The Israelis believe that Dana was just one of several Palestinians who have since gone to Iraq to coach Iraqi insurgents in media manipulation techniques.
U.S. military lawyers defending the Marines on trial for the Haditha massacre last November would do well to take a much closer look at the affiliation of the so-called witnesses who shot the incriminating footage of civilian victims after the running house-to-house battles in Haditha between the Marines and anti-U.S. insurgents.
They will find a similar pattern to many of the so-called Israeli massacres in Gaza and elsewhere; stage-managed events, planned and coordinated by Palestinian media manipulators, seeking to achieve maximum impact on world public opinion.
From the conclusion of "Mahomet and His Successors," by Washington Irving:
"We have set forth, in simple and succinct narrative, a certain portion of this wonderful career of fanatical conquest. We have traced the progress of the little cloud which rose out of the deserts of Arabia, 'no bigger than a man's hand,' until it has spread out and overshadowed the ancient quarters of the world and all their faded glories. We have shown the handful of proselytes of a pseudo prophet, driven from city to city, lurking in dens and caves of the earth, but at length rising to be leaders of armies and mighty conquerors; overcoming in pitched battle the Roman cohort, the Grecian phalanx, and the gorgeous hosts of Persia; carrying their victories from the gates of the Caucasus to the western descents of mount Atlas; from the banks of the Ganges to the Sus, the ultimate river in Mauritania; and now planting their standard on the pillars of Hercules, and threatening Europe with like subjugation." My take: given a choice of jihad or peace, the Muslim - when in a position of strength - will go with jihad. The solution is: never let them get into a position of strength.
Most interesting point for those of us who sometimes obsess about China's growing economic clout:
Did you know that just over the past 11 quarters, dating back to the June 2003 Bush tax cuts, America has increased the size of its entire economy by 20 percent? In less than three years, the U.S. economic pie has expanded by $2.2 trillion, an output add-on that is roughly the same size as the total Chinese economy, and much larger than the total economic size of nations like India, Mexico, Ireland, and Belgium.

No! No! No! It's all a lie to try to fool the American people into voting for you republicaNazis in Novemeber.

That is a staggering achievement. Tax cuts work because incentives work, whether they're to have more welfare babies or build more businesses - they work. So you need to choose your incentives wisely...
Of particular interest is this;
Since the 2003 tax cuts, tax-revenue collections from the expanding economy have been surging at double-digit rates while the deficit is constantly being revised downward.
Cause, meet effect.

A parent from Plymouth, N.Y., has sent along another example of liberals gone wild. Fishing through her son's backpack (he's a ninth grader), she found a crumpled up handout from the health teacher. The title caught her attention: "Dysfunctional 'Family Rules.'" The handout is reproduced below with punctuation, grammar and capitalization as in original:
It's a summary of all the things "radicals" don't like about Western society...
"Here is a list of some of the unworkable rules found in dysfunctional families
"Boys shouldn't cry. (they should be like diminutive adult males, independent, self contained, and tough. they should bear pain and hurt with a kind of stoicism and emotional flatness exemplified by rugged males in cigarette commercials and by romantic depictions of fighters and the wild, wild west.)
There are extremes to everything, but I don't think Mr. Teacher's talking about the extremes here. Boys really shouldn't cry. When we're children, we learn how to conduct ourselves, and squirting tears is one of the things we're discouraged from doing. There's a reason for that: Back in the very early Paleolithic age there were two cavemen, Ogg and Gug. Ogg was a tough fellow who spent no time weeping. He was brusque and he was unsociable, and he had a foul temper. Gug, who lived in the next cave over, was a sensitive kind of guy who felt your pain. He was devoted to his family and got along with everyone. One day a cave bear came by and Gug burst into tears, whereupon the bear killed and ate him. The next day the same bear showed up at Ogg's cave, expecting a similarly easy dinner. Rather than breaking down, he attacked the bear with a sharp stick. He ended up with enough bear meat to last him through October, a comfy bearskin rug, and Gug's widow, and became the ancestor of the human race. Real men know that the time for blubbering is after you've killed the cave bear, skinned it, butchered it, stored the meat, and had your way with Gug's widow on the bearskin rug. By that time, real men are usually past the stage where they feel like it. It's a dysfunctional world out there, and you can't negotiate with cave bears, sabre toothed tigers, and similar creatures, though some of them are quite tasty.
"Girls should always be nice. (Talk nice talk. Never say anything negative. Do nice things. Never do anything that would make someone look askance at you. Nice girls DON'T.)
Girls are supposed to be nice. In a slightly different manner, so are boys and men. Once Ogg had fathered the human race we decided to become civilized It's become quite fashionable in this country in the past few years to have an "attitude," but the people you actually want to spend extended periods of time with aren't the truculent bitches who just finished their fist fight in the 7-11 parking lot, but rather with people with at least a minimum of good manners. "Outrageous" didn't used to be something to be admired. It's not polite to say negative, catty things. It is pleasant for us all when people do nice things.
"Elders always deserve respect and come first. (No matter how the elder behaves, the elder must be treated gingerly, for and elder has power -- even if it used capriciously and irrationally.)
In the days before children were treated as little adults they were adults in training. Their elders were assumed to have more experience in life, more capability in dealing with the world than short people whose brains hadn't yet finished growing. Occasionally elders do behave badly, even irrationally, but most people try not to, especially those who adhere to the rules for girls and boys above. It would make a lot more sense to children to expect their elders to behave rationally and to extend them their respect, which can then be withdrawn when Pop comes home with a tatoo on his neck or Mom's arrested for hooking.
"There is only one way to do things. (That is, there's only one RIGHT way to do things. There's only one right way to handle a spouse, to deal with the kids, to have a birthday party, to dance . . .)
There are ways to do things that are right, and ways to do them that are wrong. Though there are many approaches to solving problems, generally the right way is constrained within a relatively narrow range, while the wrong way offers many more opportunities to screw up.
"Don't talk, think or feel about sex, money, and feelings. (Talk . . . well, talk stirs things up, gets people upset, well it just causes more trouble. When it comes to sex, money and feelings, silence takes on a precious eloquence. Silence is not only golden, it's high grade platinum.)
The most boring people in the world are the ones who regale you with tales of their sex life, how much money they make, or — Gawd help us all! — their feelings.
"Work first, play later. (Much later . . .)
Pretty good rule, actually. Work doesn't do itself. Grown men, and many grown women, take much of their self-worth from their accomplishments. You don't accomplish thingsby playing. That's why people who have lots of money don't usually stop working, even though they could spend all their time playing.
"The older child must always set an example for the younger children. (Good example that is.)
I have a difficult time envisioning a family as dysfunctional when the older children try to provide a good example for the younger and the adults try to provide a good example for all their children. I'm obviously not smart enough to catch the desirability of showing younger children how to be jerks and doing things that would make one's parents ashamed.
"Children should always obey their parents. (And it's the parents job to see that their children make the RIGHT decisions -- the decisions the parents want. Then when the child reaches the magic age of emancipation -- 18 or 21 -- the Good Decision Fairy will plink the child on the skull with a charmed wand and make the child a full-fledged adult who always makes Good Decisions.)
When raised as adults in training, by the time the child is old enough to enlist or to vote the raging hormones of teenagery have for the most part receded and the young adult has a sufficient store of knowledge to make fairly rational decisions. The key word is "fairly," of course, since many of the rational decisions we make at 22 look pretty silly at 33 and can be breathtakingly dumb by the time we reach 44. By the time we reach 55 they've been lumped in with the other sins of our youth, something to chuckle over, unless the consequences included jail time or loss of a limb.
"Don't talk about your family to anyone outside the family. (Outsiders will just spread malicious gossip. So always pretend that everything's OK at home, even if it isn't. there's nothing worse than being disloyal to your family.)"
Don't tell me your family secrets. Tell me about your new baby or the grandkids, your new boat, or your successes in the garden. Don't tell me when you fight with your wife or husband, when you have sex and how, when you poop, or that Uncle Ralph was arrested again. I don't want to know. First of all, it's boring. Second of all, it's crass. I could go on, through 12th of all, but take me word for it: keep your family business inside the family. Nobody else cares.
Let's assume that this diatribe is the work of only one irritable teacher and not schoolwide, or, God forbid, countywide, instruction. Still, it represents something. This health teacher obviously believes that delicate matters of family dynamics, as well as highly intimate subjects like sex, obedience, money and family privacy are within the purview of her course. And while she cannot take the time even to proofread her copy, she is prepared to heap scorn on parents who presume to know better than their minor children. In fact, she sounds very much like a petulant child herself, whining about having to set a good example for her younger siblings and delaying gratification.
Sure, this teacher may have had a bad day. But across the nation, public school students are being indoctrinated in "health" classes and other venues to treat their families with skepticism and to regard traditional mores as "dysfunctional." Liberals have achieved what the Italian communist Antonio Gramsci only dreamed about: They have completed "the long march through the institutions" and now control the commanding heights of the culture. Conservatives are going to have to figure out the same trick if they do not want to see the country drift irrevocably to the left.
While liberal teachers preach, conservative parents must teach their own kids to become screenwriters, journalists, professors, teachers and producers. The rallying cry of Gramsci's acolytes was "Capture the culture." Ours should be "Recapture the culture."

By the standards of the Kos Kiddies, he/she did pretty well with the spelling and grammar. Apparently proper English is a right wing thang, now.
I still would have sent it back to the teacher with plenty of red ink on it, only because he/she had that rule about girls always being nice, and I want to let her know my son wasn't growing up in a "dysfunctional family".
(I guess I'm becoming more conservative by the day. Damn you, RB!! ;) )

Geesh!
Who would have though that a health teacher(the easiest college degree of all times) would have the expertise to dispense Family Behavioral Health tips to children. Shouldn't she be teaching about drug abuse, nutrition, safe sex, you know, like they have since the beginning of time?

When my kids were small, and had to go to the Doc for shots, they were asked: "Does your family keep guns in the house?"
I said that's none of your fucking business.

What gets real scary is then they get the power to enforce their family values on the rest of us.
This health teacher might not have any problems calling Child Protective Services and report an 'hostile environment' (as in OMG - the father spanks his children on the butt!)
Ouch! That one hits too close to home (that was the first election I voted in).
I rationalize that now by saying that without the dismal Carter years, we probably would never have elected Reagan (even though I didn't vote for him - sheesh, I was a pathetic LLL back then...)
There is one thing... It is possible that I am projecting a tad, but... when I were growing up behind the Iron Curtain, at the age of 14, I could see through al that leftist crap. No, I was not exceptionally bright, anyone with 2 brain cells could.
I think that something similar may be happening with the youngsters, say between 14 and 19, they do not eat that librul crap as readily as one may presume. At least those of them that do not have attrophied thinking abilities.
Sure, it may be in part a result of the teenage rebelion, opposition for the sake of being different. But seems to go a bit deeper than that.

twobyfour - you were exceptional by American standards - times have changed. American kids are internet-oriented rather than growing up watching their parents' MSM news. My 18 yr old reads my National Review mags rather than People magazine...perhaps that's why he joined the Army ;-)

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
