What would a real ‘popular front’ look like in France in 2024?

Posted by: John Phoenix Under cover of ‘uniting against fascism’, French workers are being asked to align themselves with the true instigators of fascism and war. Georges Gastaud Subscribe to our  channel Much of the faux left in the west is drooling over the surprise election victory of the ‘New Popular Front’ in France, which supposedly came together with the ‘centre’ (including standing down for Macron’s party in some seats) to ‘stop the far right’ and ‘oppose fascism’. By aligning themselves with Euro-Atlanticist social democrats and greens, however, all the supposedly ‘far left’ have done is to expose themselves entirely in the eyes of the masses. By no measure can the forces represented by rabid warmongers such Emmanuel Macron and Raphaël Glucksmann be less of ...

French government fines TV news for allowing a skeptic to speak without being challenged

Posted by: John Phoenix We know what secrets they fear the most, by how they overreact By Jo Nova | July 13, 2024 In France, the second largest news network let an economist go on air and declare he thought global warming was a lie and a scam used to justify State intervention. He even went on to say it is a form of totalitarianism. Shockingly (to the regulators Arcom*), the CNEWS TV* hosts did not contest this, and nor did anyone else in the studio. For this, 11 months later, the TV channel is being fined €20,000. Too close to the truth then? A popular French rolling news channel has been fined for broadcasting climate scepticism unchallenged By Saskia O’Donoghue, EuroNews During the programme, prominent economist Philippe Herlin shared personal clim...

Among the reasons for the trend, the report cites Israel’s offensive against Hamas in Gaza, polarizing debate over recent ...

Looks like he may have fooled himself into thinking that dumping all over the political chessboard was a big-brained three-dimensional move.  In the wake of the anti-establishment National Rally party winn...

#FreeBashir: Iranian music maestro victim of French repression of pro-Gaza activism

Posted by: John Phoenix By Ivan Kesic Last week, in a move widely condemned as part of the French government’s ongoing repression of pro-Palestinian activism amid the Nazi Holocaust on Gaza, an Iranian national was arrested in France. Bashir Biazar, a renowned music maestro and cultural figure, has been languishing in a French jail for the past week after being accused of “supporting terrorism” and “causing discord in the community” over his advocacy of the Palestinian cause and opposition to the Nazi Holocaust on Gaza. Previously the production manager at the Music and Song Department of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) in Tehran, Biazar was summoned by French police in Paris on June 4 without explanation or a warrant. Much to his surprise, he was ...

French “civil war”? Or a Gladio operation triggered by US Globalist class?

I unpack the recent ramping up of violence in France on UK Column News VANESSA BEELEY AI image circulating on social media. On UK Column News 5th July I unpack the recent increase in violence in France and the surge of right-wing propaganda criminalising France’s Muslim population. For context I include an excerpt of something I wrote in 2021 about the 1961 massacre of Algerian refugees in Paris and I recommend watching this short animated movie called Tears of the Seine. The refusal to recognize victims boils down to a message that one person’s life doesn’t have the same value as another’s. And 17 October 1961 shows that the life of an Algerian was worth very little. This sign of contempt and injustice is still felt in diffuse ways by new generations ...
