| French Terror Ring Dismantled, Members Sound Like Sympathizers of the Occupy Wall Street Movement - 2012-05-20 20:26:00 |
![]() A terrorist ring has been dismantled in France, writesElise VincentinLe Monde, with its members now on trial and risking 10 years behind bars; and needless to say, their members all belong to the far right and are the ideological counterparts of the Tea Party movement in the United St— Uh, wait — except,no, they arenotsympathizers of the Tea Party movement, in any way; rather, they are members of the farleft, who sound amazingly like sympathizers of the Occupy Wall Street movement. The six young men and women, aged 29 to 31, are allegedly part of an "anarchic-autonomous movement" who 1) are out of work (or "in training" for a job) and receive the minimum wage; 2) sing the praises of their "anti-capitalist" views; 3) expressed a wish to (do nothing else but) "become visible to imprisoned people" (in other words, to become to visible the much-maligned bourgeoisie); and 4) claim to fight against poor housing conditions, personal data collection by the police, and the defense ofundocumentedaliens. Le procès de six militants d'ultragauche renvoyés pour "actes terroristes"se tient, depuis le 14 mai, à la dixième chambre correctionnelle du tribunal de Paris. C'est le premier procès relatif à ce que les services de police et de renseignements ont commencé à appeler, à partir de 2007, la"mouvance anarcho-autonome".Une mouvance à laquelle le groupe de Tarnac - interpellé en 2008 pour des sabotages sur des lignes SNCF - a, plus tard, été rattaché. |

| Oh you Little Shnickelfritz, how Could Anyone Stay Mad at YOU?!? - 2012-05-18 17:46:00 |
| The current foreign minister, Laurent Fabius, is responsible for French EU policy. In 2005, he and his crew tried to suffocate the EU treaty in its crib on the pretext that it required fiscal restraint inimical to Socialist (non-)economics. Now they’re parroting the latest sculpted mendacity about “growth vs. austerity”, when there hasn’t been any austerity to peak of, and assumes that economic growth can only be initiated by government spending. Then there’s the “30% pay cut” that Hollande and his Ministers are taking in symbolic self-debasement before they tax-and-spend, ending up with large personal empires at their disposal when they’re deposed. On the other hand, the idea of, say, reducing government by 30% tostimulate growthwould never occur to them in a million years. As I said: now you’ve got your socialists, see. So what you’re going to get is a lot of fake issues and generalized bedlam as light entertainment. |
