France has experienced the worst riots since 2005. The worst riots in western Europe since the 2011 riots in England which left five dead. In six nights of rioting in France this month, 4,873 vehicles were burnt, 990 buildings burnt or badly damaged, 570 police officers injured, and 3,317 rioters arrested. The buildings destroyed included schools, libraries, homes, shops, police stations, and town halls. Rioting and destruction was not just limited to big cities, like Marseilles and Paris, but even small towns, like Beaune in Burgundy, famous for its wine and medieval buildings, suffered. Beaune, which has a population of only 20,000, saw a gang of ‘youths’ attack the police station, a petrol station, and burn shops and vehicles.
The French state was pushed to the limit in its attempt to stop the rioting. Over 45,000 members of the police, the CRS, and gendarmerie, including all the specialist units like RAID, and the BRI, were deployed, along with armoured vehicles, helicopters, and drones. This was a powerful internal security apparatus stretched to its absolute limit. It is likely that the rioting slowly stopped as much because of exhaustion on the part of the rioters as because of the efforts of the police. All of this was predictable, had been predicted, and has followed an established pattern that will recur, again and again, not only in France but elsewhere in western Europe.
The proximal cause of the events was the shooting of a 17 year old Algerian background delinquent by police after he refused to stop his car. The victim had a long history of criminality, enabled by his taking advantage of the law which forbids detention for those under 14. The shooting was videoed and quickly went viral. The immediate response of President Macron was to condemn the police officer, without any regard to the principles of justice. Macron, like his interior minister, Gérald Darmanin, was attempting to appease the foreign origin mob. To no avail, as they would have known. The mother of the victim became the centre of what looked like a triumphal procession, riding on the top of a lorry, grinning and waving to masses of North African origin supporters. Some of those supporters were filmed declaring that as Muslims the Koran gave them ‘the right’ to kill anyone who killed a Muslim. What followed was six nights of chaos. Even before that had died down, the familiar response had begun.
Interior Minister Darmanin happily announced that 90% of the arrested rioters were French. What he meant was that they were ‘French’ in terms of their papers, they are paper-French. The reality is that they wave the Algerian flag, they live according to their interpretation of Islam, their sense of themselves as colonisers in a France they hate. They see themselves as taking revenge on France for colonising what became Algeria. Like Darmanin, the former French President, François Hollande, categorically stated that the problem ‘is not immigration’. Instead, Hollande believes that all is needed is a ‘deepening of Republicanism’. French Republicanism, which insists on equality of the sexes, and demands a public sphere completely empty of all religion – and Hollande thinks Muslims from North Africa want more of that Republicanism? And just as Darmanin and Hollande’s deliberate refusal to acknowledge reality was predictable, so, too, is the reaction of the mainstream media, with well-rehearsed lines about discrimination, poverty, and racism. The BBC has made its small contribution, claiming it is about the ‘voiceless’ finding ‘a voice’, by burning and destroying. Interestingly, the author of that BBC piece is someone who grew up in Canada, now lives in France, writes for the BBC, but sees himself as ‘an Algerian’.
The next stage in the process will be the rapid forgetting of the events by the media, politicians announcing that the ‘real’ threat is from ‘the far right’, and the spending of enormous amounts of tax-payers money. The first estimate of the damage done has been over one billion Euros, but billions more will be poured into the suburbs dominated by North-African background populations. Just as before, it will make no difference. Mass immigration and high birth rates will continue to grow the hostile population, more areas of France will come to be dominated by the Islamic and North African norms of the Algerian bled, criminality and delinquency will spread as the daily weapon of a colonising population. And, despite the reality, the French political elites, the mass media, universities and all the other cheerleaders of a failed multi-culturalism will insist that all is well, if only we guard against the ‘far right’.
Is there a solution? The first step has yet to be taken, and that is a recognition of the truth of what we see in France. And not only France. In Belgium, the colonisers fly the Moroccan flag, in Germany, the Turkish flag, in England, the Pakistani flag. The truth is that the so-called leaders of western Europe actively seek to replace the culture, history, and people of Europe. Those politicians are the guilty ones, they are the perpetrators. Others, in the media, education, ‘entertainment’, civil service, judiciary, are collaborators. In the case of France, its historical relationship with North Africa is an additional factor. The depredations of Ottoman slavers and pirates was brought to an end in a long war between France and tribes in what would become Algeria. French settlement and colonisation began in the 1840s, and a century later the Algerian War led to Algerian independence in 1962. At that point a million French Algerians (the Pied noirs) were forcibly remigrated to France. In the aftermath of a vicious war, the Pieds noirs were given the choice of ‘the suitcase or the coffin’. That forcible remigration was approved of by all the powers, agreeing that only an ethnically homogenous Algeria could succeed. It did not stop a later intra-Algerian war, but no longer was there ethnic conflict. Remigration does not have to be bloody, but it works. But the issue in France is also a result of continued interference by French elites, by French corporate capital, in Francophone Africa. Similarly, the EU elites are committed to creating a ‘Eur-Africa’, immigrating millions of Arabs and Africans into Europe to create a huge geographic area filled with an undifferentiated population. Both of these policies are forms of neo-imperialism.
The catastrophe continues. The leaders of France, like those of the rest of western Europe, hate the European peoples, they seek to replace everything that makes us who we are. They are supported by collaborators in the wider system. Under the regime that dominates us, nothing will change, the pattern is established. At the moment, our task is to alert as many of our people as we can. We need to join together and build strong groups and movements to defend our only homelands.
