I am often criticised because I refused to vote Democrat against Trump in 2016, 2022 and 2024. No, I would never vote for the narcissistic, sociopath currently in office. I have to admit though, that the downward spiral is going much faster than I had anticipated. But my conscience told me that Democrat warmongers are no better for the world’s people than the Republicans. I also thought, naively, that Trump’s base could slow down his imperial appetite. On the latter, I was wrong. I maintain I am right about the Democrats.1

For me, the question is much like it was in World War Two. What was so democratic about the Allies for the people living in British, French, Belgian and Dutch colonies?2 Would it have changed their sort if the Axis had won? Critical thinking Americans tell us not to lose hope, that “Americans are good people.” There are too many supporters of fascism and wars of aggression in the country for me to say, “Americans are good people.” I am sorry but Americans are not good people. Please prove me wrong.

2025 was a very bad year. 2026 doesn’t promise to be much better. There are signs of hope, but it may be too little, too late.

How Europeans see the USA’s march to Authoritarianism

Every now and then I have to put my rage on paper, or in this case on my blog. I know it doesn’t make a difference. Those who want to see have already looked up. There is nothing you can do about stupid, except stop him.

It is always like walking on eggs to express opinions which go against the Lobbies and powers-that-be in the EU. The march to repress freedom of speech and of thought, especially in denouncing genocide and war-mongering, has gone much further and much faster than I thought possible.

Should we be worried that nearly half the Muslims in France privilege Islamic Law to the laws of the Republic and that the figures among Muslim youth born in France are much more radical? Or should we be relieved that half do not?

Does it change the meaning of the figures if we say ‘Islamic Law’ rather than ‘Sharia’?

The left, counting on their Muslim electorate, and a few Muslim associations, are striking back at an IFOP poll which shows Muslims in France are growing more and more radicalised and hostile to the host country. Some are saying this is Samuel Huntington’s revenge. Is the Clash of Civilisations paper proving true?

Marianne, the symbol of Liberty and the French Republic

Nearly half the Muslims in France, 15 and older, believe Islamic Sharia Law should be applied in the countries where they live, according to a study published in November by the French polling institute, IFOP.1  This adhesion to rigorous Islam is higher among those aged 15 to 24, that is to say, youth born in France of recent Muslim migration and holding French citizenship. The French model of integration does not work.2

Hypocrisy: Orwell’s “Doublespeak,” or Raymond Devos’s “Antipodes”1 found their home in 2024 and truly made it the year of the grotesque which may give renewed youth to Ionescu’s Theater of the Absurd.

Yes, every word has its ‘Anti.’ But 2024 also demonstrated that repeating lies enough does not cause most people to believe they are true.

Le ‘scandal’ Houellebecq-Onfray a le mérite de nommer les choses et de souligner l’hypocrisie de ceux qui ne les nomment pas.

Voir, par exemple, la revue Marianne qui diffusa sur YouTube en décembre, un reportage sur le sort des femmes dans les cités et banlieues sans une seule fois identifier les salauds qui font régner la terreur, ni même parler de qui sont véritablement les fauteurs de troubles.

France is withdrawing from Mali. The Military Junta may not last. But France’s capacity to impose its will on its former colonies seems to be over.

After nine years of fighting Islamist rebels in Mali, 53 soldiers killed, and over ten billion euros sunk in the quick-sands of the Sahara, France says it is  pulling out of the country. The decision comes as 40 member states of the African Union are meeting with the EU in Brussels.

If the government does nothing to stop “the disintegration” provoked by “Islamism and the hordes in the banlieue” then “tomorrow civil war will end the growing chaos, and the dead, for whom you carry the responsibility, will be counted in the thousands.”

Valeurs Actuelles Published the Veterans warning

That is the dire warning issued on April 13 and signed by some 1,300 retired Officers, including 23 generals, NCOs and other veterans of the French military. But it wasn’t until April 21 that the letter was made public by the conservative weekly Valeurs Actuelles. Since then, it has been a civil war of words between the left, the government and those on the right.

I hesitated to publish this paper because it comes very close to violating French, German and other countries’ laws on what free speech is allowed and what is not. This is a strong opinion piece in defense of Freedom of Speech and of Opinion.

La Marianne of the Republic is in Trouble

PARIS, NOV. 2, 2020. KAZOLIAS

I demand the right to hurt people’s sensitivities just as they have the right to hurt mine; the right to Blasphemy and to speak one’s mind should never be infringed upon. Libel, slander, inciting to violence are crimes, but opinions should never be.

It is better to fight those who want to deny us our freedom, than to allow those who govern us to take away our liberty, claiming it is to fight those who want to deny us our freedom.

Paris, Oct. 20: — The October 16 brutal beheading of a French school civics teacher by a Chechen migrant, on the heels of a cleaver-knife attack on September 25 against people working at the old Charlie Hebdo offices by a Pakistani migrant (he didn’t know Charlie was no longer there) has finally forced France to face its “Muslim Problem” head-on after 30 years of denial.
