I'd like to ask you a quick question about a series of recent events. E, at first, It's about the fire of Notre-Dame de Paris.
“The Madonna in flames, hit in the choir, it is the very image of Christianity today. What else can we say that hasn't already been said? I think of Dominique Venner and re-read Péguy”.
The end of the "great debate" and Emmanuel Macron's press conference, which does not seem to convince two out of three French people?
“The head of state was wrong to mistake the French for the mougeons (half sheep and half pigeons). Micron, resignation!”.
The yellow vest movement, is regularly described as “running out of steam” and generating “unacceptable violence”. What do you think??
A peaceful movement, “good-natured” would not have gotten a tenth of what the yellow vests got, even though none of their essential demands have been met yet. Violence (I don't mean that of professional "casseurs".) sometimes it's the only way to be heard. 14 July 1789, The storming of the Bastille was no walk in the park! Review Georges Sorel's reflections on violence. In any case, this popular violence is little comparable to the systemic violence of white-collar predators, identity killers, of social destroyers and masters of profit. As for the worries of the yellow jackets, it's about, at best, of a break before the next battles. Throughout Europe, the middle classes are disappearing and people are bearing the consequences of austerity policies. In our hourglass-shaped society, wealth is piling higher and higher, while poverty and precariousness are constantly increasing downwards. The same causes produce the same effects, we are moving towards a generalized social revolt.

The whistleblower Julian Assange was handed over by Ecuador to the English authorities who have already sentenced him to a year in prison, while the Americans issued an arrest warrant against him…
“The United States bought Assange for $ 10,2 billions in credit through the International Monetary Fund (FMI). A country worthy of the name would have immediately given asylum to the founder of WikiLeaks. Like all the "debtors" to the White House, France naturally abstained. You have other asylum requests to process…”.
In South America there is a deterioration of the situation in Venezuela and the recognition by the "international community" of Juan Guaidó as self-proclaimed president of this country in place of Nicolás Maduro, elected president twice again.
“Maduro has a nice Mexican revolutionary mustache, but he is sure that he has neither the charisma nor the talent of Hugo Chávez. That said, it is even more certain that the United States has done and continues to do everything in its power to ruin and above all control Venezuela, the country that has the largest hydrocarbon reserves on the planet. The whole question is whether the Americans will launch a war to impose the super liberal Juan Guaidó, a coup plotter in a three-piece suit who must have been in prison for a long time. Emmanuel Macron advised Maduro to resign and give in to 'street pressure'. Maduro could have replied that, comparing the six months of the anger of the French yellow glets – just like the Bouteflika gang to that of the Algerian people – Macron has only to set an example (resigning, ndr)”.
What do you think of the new economic sanctions decreed by Donald Trump, not only against Caracas and Moscow, but also Havana and Tehran?
“These are all acts of war directed against French and European trading companies that traded dollars with Venezuela, Cuba or Iran, or they made investments, and who are now required to align themselves with Washington's dictates in the name of the implausible principle of extraterritoriality of American law. In terms of foreign policy, Trumpian unilateralism is becoming more detestable every day.".
The never-ending story of Brexit: Britain will be, or not, outside Europe?
“De Gaulle was right: to begin with, should never have entered".
Pope Francis is embarrassed by the scandal of pedophile attacks by priests?
“I will definitely surprise you, but I think there are no longer problems of pedophilia in the Church. Exists, However, a serious problem of “homosexual hebephilia”. Pedophilia is defined as sexual attraction to children, immature boys or girls. Over 80% of sexual assaults involving clergy involve pubescent adolescents, aged between 12 e 18 years, and almost exclusively male. They are minors, not children. We don't dare say it so as not to be labeled "homophobic", but Frédéric Martel's book confirms it. In these circumstances, ending priestly celibacy would not favor gay marriage! I will also remember that, contrary to what is often believed, priests do not take a vow of chastity. This vow is reserved for monks, that is, members of the regular clergy (in contrast to the secular clergy)”.
