ROF's Vanessa Biard Tries to Bring Some Sanity to France's LCI TV Channel

Among the people who were face to Face à Darius Rochebin Thursday night was Vanessa Biard-Schaeffer (appearing at 1:13:07 and 1:27:27), ROF's vice-president who was, in the words of Paul Reen, "defending Trump against the clown Gallagher Fenwick who compared Trump to a rapist on FranceTV last week, and can only resort to name calling. Bravo Vanessa for trying to bring some sanity to these ridiculous TDS channels."

First Elon Musk, Now Steve Bannon: "All I Was Doing Was Wave to the Audience"

The latest example of Drama Queenery comes from France via CPAC, where Jordan Bardella pulled out of a scheduled speech because one of the speakers, Steve Bannon, allegedly made a "gesture referring to Nazi ideology". 

Je condamne avec la plus grande vigueur le salut nazi effectué par Steve Bannon lors du CPAC.
Pour mémoire, Bannon n'est plus dans l'entourage de @realDonaldTrump depuis bien longtemps.#CPAC#CPAC2025#Bannonpic.twitter.com/5FFKQPWO4y

The BBC's Brandon Drenon:

"If he cancelled [the speech] over what the mainstream media said about the speech, he didn't listen to the speech. If that's true, he's unworthy to lead France. He's a boy, not a man," Bannon told the French news magazine Le Point. 

At the Reagan Dinner Friday night, the head of the War Room again said: "All I did was wave to the audience."

As I wrote when the Elon Musk scandal erupted,  

few fascists ever, few Nazis ever gave the fascist/Nazi salute from the heart, as Elon Musk did. Whether in Italy, in Spain, in Portugal, or in Germany, the arm went straight up from the side as the individual is standing still. Aye, there is the rub: the salute is traditionally formal, given as a soldier standing still by an "inferior" to a "superior" at the outset of an event or only when asked (when commanded) to do so. 

Thus we see lines of Nazis, in uniform or civilian attire, all doing the Führergruß together, mechanically, at exactly the same time, while shouting the same words (Heil Hitler or Sieg Heil) in unison…

Back in Paris, as a guest on Sud Radio, ROF's Vanessa Biard-Schaeffer gave her take on the allegations…

LCI: Trump and Musk, "the New Revolutionaries" Who Have the Gall to Criticize Europe as the "Cathedral to Bureaucracy"

Russia and the future of the Ukraine war were the initial subjects of Darius Rochebin's Sunday 6 pm show on LCI with part of the focus on Donald Trump's telephone call to Vladimir Putin. And as the subject changed (at about 29:30) to President Trump's domestic fight against the swamp — and to cries of outrage about Elon Musk calling Europe a "cathedral to bureaucracy" — Vanessa Biard-Schaeffer, a member of Republicans Overseas France (ROF), was brought into the debate (from about 30:50 to 50:50, video at the link), where she proceeded to be… regularly interrupted, although she persisted and held her own.

The pundits on LCI thunder against Trump and Musk (who the hell does Musk think he is?!) before one of them puffs his chest with pride, stating that he is proud of being European — presumably in no need whatsoever of administrative simplification. It might do them good to read Nicolas Conquer's Figaro article ("While America seeks to restore its ability to be one step ahead, Europe persists in a systematic distrust of risk, success, and initiative"). A word, writes The Smallest Minority, that  we should all know (Americans, French, other foreigners, and not least pundits on… French TV shows) is Statolatry (thanks to Instapundit's Sarah).

Economist Ludwig Von Mises coined the word to describe the literal worship of government. He said: “People frequently call socialism a religion, It is indeed the religion of self-deification.”

Statolatry is about worship for the state to replace a God they have rejected, a relationship with some entity more powerful than themselves to which they swear their love and fealty, the goal of which is to receive blessings (which are drawn the public till).

The people on the statolatrist left have landed on a toxic mixture of statism, politics, mysticism, and atheism rolled up into a loose ball called “progressivism” as a substitute for Judeo-Christian theology. Progressivism is as much a religion as Catholicism, it just replaces a Pope with government, counting on the senior leadership of [leftist parties] to be their High Priests.
