La racaille: you're either with them or against them

Urban guerilla tactics being used in France's suburban turf wars pitting French kids against cops.

French Intifada

French youths are keeping all the goodies on a slow burner just waiting until the situation is just right. Don't worry about the 500 pound Islamic elephant waiting in the corner and please parrot the State Party Line©: the kids are depraved because they're deprived.

The Al-Dura Affair: Fabrication Nation

TelChaiNation on France2’s getting a child killed to provide drama for the camera:

At another point, a boy faked a leg injury, but instead of drawing big kids who could pick him up and rush him past the cameramen to an ambulance, he only attracted little kids. He shooed them away, looked around, and, seeing that no one was coming to evacuate him, straightened up and walked away without a limp. An Israeli cameraman working for France2 who was watching the film with me and Enderlin at the time, laughed at this point. When I asked him why, he said, “because it looks so fake.” “That’s my impression as well,” I responded. Enderlin responded, “Oh, they do that all the time. It’s their cultural style. They exaggerate.”

To the sensationalist, ideologically driven press, human life is cheap.


Eyes wide shut: meet the face of evil.
An even shoddier news outfit playing on France2’s problems by saying their news is more “real.” Using a fad-in, fade-out montage of images, the video includes the implication that US soldiers in Iraq commonly kill innocent civilians.

Bientôt au Quai Branly

The face of today's Fwance. More suburban monkey business as police are continually ambushed with impunity.

Pressing their advantage (International edition)

Iran to Europe: forget the Jews and you won't get hurt. "America is far away, but you are neighbors." Can Europe be a poodle to Russia and to Iran at the same time? Who will hold the leash?

Pressing their advantage (French suburban edition)

The French Intifada continues apace as suburban racaille step up the pressure on law enforcement to see how far they can go [Ed. - the response is "very far"]. In Orléans, an unmarked police vehicle was hit by 2 Molotov cocktails and police had to fire rubber bullets to fight off the thugs. Hit-and-run attacks against French police are now becoming an almost daily occurrence. As usual, the French preSS and pédé-bloggeurs put this down to Sarkozy's provocations and other socio-economic mumbo-jumbo, and not -- shudder the thought -- anything to do with France's second most popular religion. After all, serious French polls conducted by authorized French pollsters who have never set foot in a French suburb all indicate that these chères têtes blondes all claim to be good French citizens just chomping at the bit to play their part in the Universalist and Secular Utopia that is the Repoublika Franska.

In Europe, you can say anything you want ... really!

As long as it's insipid, bland, unthreatening, and in accordance with the State Party Line©.

Her master's voice

Zeropeans adopt their role as Putin's poodles in order to keep their hovels and favelas warm and comfy. ... et moi qui croyais qu'ils se tenaient bien au chaud rien qu'avec leurs lumières zéropéennes.

The French rediscover their balls ...

... when it comes to threatening Jews. French Defense Minister Michele Alliot-Marie has her Fofana moment.

Next week's Friday edition will contain editorial commentary by Magilla Gorilla

Libération PropagandaStaffel, while it continues its death spiral towards bankruptcy, is desperately latching on to any gimmick in an effort to boost sales. Today, to mark the anniversary of last year's Muslim Suburban Riots, the newspaper decided to hand over the editorial direction for one day to the stewardess bashing, chimp beating, French rap mogul Didier Morville (Joey Starr). Today's edition was littered with editorial commentary from this distinguished representative of La Repoublika Franska des Zarzélettres (set apart from the rest of the content with titles typeset in graffiti tag fonts -- see link above).

Bush Has Brought Chaos to Iraq

Listen to reason, listen to the reason of the peace protesters, American and foreign nationals alike: As Cécile Hennion confirms, America has brought chaos to Iraq.

Chasing Jeff Spicoli

Attempting to impose their notions of citizenship on foreigners, the editors couldn't be in love with a lamer American.



Otherwise they prefer image over reality, and don’t use the word much when it comes to what a good citizen should do to be called one.the fuse is lit!

French State TV

French State TV is all about yearly State TV taxes financing blood libel and fabricating the truth. Sort of a "All the news that's fit to rig" operation.

The Shape of Things to Come in Europe.

Crossing the Atlantic with a Koran in hand: "Islam and terrorism have become intertwined in the collective subconscious"

A hijab left only the oval of my face exposed - my blond hair was covered, pulled back in a tight bun - and I was wearing an ankle-length skirt. For good measure, a copy of the Koran stuck out of my handbag.

In a typical mainstream media article, Katrin Bennhold dresses up as a Muslim and crosses the Atlantic Ocean in a flight from Washington to Paris. Although hardly anything happens — most officials and fellow travelers, both in the airports and on the plane, show her no disrespect (they even know Muslim customs) — the International Herald Tribune's Paris correspondent discovers that, needless to say, any (rare) example to the contrary (such as a remark) speaks

loudly about how Islam and terrorism have become intertwined in the collective subconscious.

In order to make this hardly-a-story an article, the German journalist must go to other sources, documenting how unfairly Muslims have been, and are, treated in the West and getting feel-good quotes such as the one ending the piece. Never mentioned, of course, whether by herself or the complaining Arabs she interviews, is how non-Muslims are treated in Muslim societies and whether there might not be a modicum of common sense (at least, in this day and age, i.e., that of Mohammed Atta) in racially profiling people whose brothers regularly call for the death of the West.
