Macron Threatens to Set Calais Migrants Loose on Britain

Marine Le Pen’s globalist rival in the French presidential elections, Emmanuel Macron, has promised to rip up border controls in France, potentially opening Britain up to a new wave of illegal migration.

The establishment favourite in the French presidential race asserted that the Le Touquet treaty, under which Britain operates border controls in the migrant hotspot Calais, should be “back on the table.”

In an interview with TF1, the former Rothschild banker said the deal “must be renegotiated, especially the parts that deal with the fate of isolated child migrants.

Muslims: CSA [Superior Council of Audiovisual] investigates case against Ivan Rioufol of Figaro

by Magazine Marianne
April 26, 2017

Ivan Rioufol, an editorialist for Le Figaro, affirmed on April 21 on CNews that “27% of French Muslims claimed the ideology of the Islamic State”.

The CSA said on Tuesday (April 25th) that it had opened a file on the remarks by Ivan Rioufol, an editorialist for Le Figaro, made on CNews last Friday. As a guest on the show “L’heure des pros”, presented by Pascal Praud, the polemicist quoted a poll from the Institut Montaigne demonstrating — according to him — that “27% of French Muslims claimed the ideology of the” Islamic State, and 50% of the young Muslims of the suburban neighborhoods.” The audiovisual authority has received about 40 reports, as revealed by Buzzfeed, while the replay of the show is not available on the CNews website.

At AFP, Ivan Rioufol denounces an “intimidation” that would be “exploited by a religious minority”. “To say that 50% of young Muslims have a practice of Islam” that is fundamentalist “and” adopted a system of values clearly opposed to the values of the Republic “is a fact noted in this study of the Montaigne Institute,” he affirms. “To bring it closer to the ideology of the Islamic State that applies sharia is a matter of my freedom to comment.”

In fact, Ivan Rioufol did indeed benefit to a large extent from his “freedom of comment”. The poll he quoted on CNews, was conducted by Ifop on behalf of the very liberal Institut Montaigne, and was published in September 2016 by the Sunday Journal. It divides the Muslim population living in France into three categories: 46% are “secularized”, totally secular; 25% have “Islamic pride”, being defined above all as Muslim and proud of the public expression of their religion; and 28% of the “Ultras” living in breach of republican values, polled in favor of the wearing of niqab or burqa and polygamy. The latter group is overrepresented among young people, as 50% of Muslims under 25 years of age are members of the group, according to the study.

It is thus to these 28% of Muslims that Ivan Rioufol reproaches with claim “of the ideology of the Islamic State”. Yet, the panel of respondents “was not questioned on Daesh,” said the Institut Montaigne on Twitter on Tuesday. “In no case can the findings of our inquiry feed your comments,” the think tank added to the attention of the editorial writer.

Translation of Twitter messages:

Institute Montaigne: @ivanrioufol You said that 50% of the young people in the cities cling to the ideology of the Islamic State

Institute Montaigne: @ivanrioufol In any case, the conclusions of our investigation cannot support your remarks.

Ex-Muslim in Paris gives the Mayor a piece of his mind

Posted on by

This is quite a clip and has a couple of cultural references that need adding. First, the man on a rant, Farod Smahi, who was hauled away from Anne Hidalgo yesterday as she left the Marks & Spencer store where terrorist Karim Cheurfi was gunned down by police, referenced the most famous case of malpractice of French jurisprudence.

From the translator, Ava-Lon:

“Fareed is using the expression J’accuse which entered in the French language about 120 years ago during the cause of Dreyfus.

Dreyfus was a Jewish officer in the French army who was tried for treason (in favor of Germans, who France was fighting at that moment) in 1894 in an atmosphere of prejudice and where evidence against him was fabricated.

“J’accuse” was an open letter of French writer Emile Zola, published in January 1898,concerning the case of Dreyfus, where Zola was accusing French government of antisemitism, bias , and unlawful jailing of Alfred Dreyfus. For that letter Zola was himself prosecuted for libel and found guilty in February 1898. He had to exile himself to England to avoid imprisonment. He returned to France the following year and continued his defense of Dreyfus, who was retired the same year, found guilty again, but was pardoned

(all seems to point to the government trying to save face)
Only in 1906, on appeal, Dreyfus obtain annulment of his guilty verdict and even awarded the Legion d’honneur the highest French media. (with mention “for a soldier who has endured an unparalleled martyrdom”)

The expression “J’accuse” since became the call of everyone who is fighting greater power. Even if fareed wasn’t aware of the exact case he sure used the expression well”

Also the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, is a well known leftist and muslim sympathizer.

In fact she is creating legal and financial problems for an excellent French counter-jihad site because they did a mocking caricature of her. 

Oz-Rita is more highly versed in that particular issue than are we.

Mayor of Paris and Mahmud Abbas

Oz-Rita adds the following about Hidalgo, the Mayor of Paris:

“She came to politics via Francois Hollande.  At the time the now (still) French President was still living with the mother of his 4 children, Segolene Royal,  and it was reported that the latter was very unhappy about their “relationship” and did not like Hidalgo.”

When some Saudi was “offended” by some French writer and sued him, she took the side of the Saudi etc. she is a nasty piece of ‘work'”

ISIS Paris Shooter Was Previously Arrested For Going On A Police Shooting Rampage

Posted on by

From The Daily Caller:

The Islamic State terrorist responsible for shooting three French police officers Thursday was previously convicted for going on a shooting rampage against police in 2001.

The Islamic State’s Amaq news agency claimed Abu Yusuf al-Beljiki, formerly known as Karim Cheurfi according to France’s L’Express, was responsible for killing one officer and injuring two others. Beljiki was later shot and killed by police, but this was not his first shoot out with authorities.

 

Beljiki, a native of Paris’s Livry-Gargan suburb, stole a car in 2001, according to a Le Parisien report. He later accidentally ran the vehicle into a police trainee’s car. The officer, who was reportedly off duty, and his brother gave chase until Beljiki crashed in a ditch. Beljiki then proceeded to fire at the two men, wounding both.

(Newest material at the bottom)

Daily Mail:

A police officer was shot dead and another seriously wounded by two Kalashnikov-wielding gunmen on the Champs Elysees in central Paris tonight.

French police said that the incident was probably a ‘terrorist act’ and the world famous avenue was on lockdown by 9pm.

Heavily armed officers had flooded the area and a third individual – believed to be the killer – was killed, according to police sources.

Reports suggest ‘at least’ two people were involved in the attack which took place as presidential candidates took part in a TV debate nearby before Sunday’s election.

(This clearly has bugger all to do with the election. It was almost certainly a muslim terror attack. Who else fetishizes Kalashnikovs? Its worth going to the DM just for the photos. Beautiful. Like a horizontal cop Christmas tree)

The telegraph is winding the event down, saying it was just one gunman

Attack claimed by Islamic State:

MINUTE PER MINUTE – One individual, alone, opened fire on police officers. It was filed S. Francois Hollande confirmed that the terrorist track was privileged. The attack was claimed by Daesh.

The ‘Islamic’ bar in Paris that became a French election scandal

Posted on by

From The Local:

France has been left divided after hidden cameras footage revealed men in an “Islamic” bar in Paris telling women they weren’t welcome.
Amar Salhi is still amazed at how his scruffy bar north of Paris sparked an election scandal after it featured on national television in December during a report about Islam and women.

In footage shot with hidden cameras and broadcast during prime-time by state media giant France 2, two women activists were seen facing a hostile welcome as they tried to go for a drink in the Jockey Club.

“There’s no mixing in this bar,” one client was heard saying.

“You’re not in Paris here… it’s a different mentality, it’s like the village back home (in north Africa),” said another.

More than 350 prison guards blocked the prison in Fleury-Mérogis (Essonne) on Monday night to protest the recent assault of six guards in the largest prison in Europe, undermined by prison overcrowding and lack of personnel.

The demonstrators, with placards reading “Fire, penance burns”, “Overpopulation, understaffing, danger” and some inviting presidential candidates to visit them, set up barricades from 7:30pm on the only route that leads to the prison, said an AFP journalist.

The facility is currently filled to 180% of its capacity. It houses more than 4,200 detainees, and nearly 150 staffing posts are vacant, according to trade unions.

“The situation is simply unbearable. This aggression is the straw that broke the camel’s back”, said Olivier Legentil, of the union UFAP-UNSa Justice (majority).

On Thursday, six prison guards were wounded by eight minors during an altercation between detainees that degenerated into a fight.
