Hungary and Poland, two legitimate democracies, are now the targets of blackmail from the European Union over their stance on migration and LGBT issues, warned French philosopher and writer Éric Zemmour said on Wednesday on French news channel CNews. 

Zemmour also believes that the Hungarian and Polish concepts of democracy might be different from the one generally accepted in the Western world, but they are no less viable.

“It is very simple. There are two democracy concepts — the traditional one is that of Lincoln, ‘of the people, by the people, for the people,'” Zemmour said. “And there is the concept of the constitutional state. It says that all the actions of the power must be authorized and controlled by a judge… Hungary and Poland have a noble conception of democracy, not a conception based on the power of judges. They don’t want the multiculturalism the EU wants to impose on them.”

Zemmour said that while the first idea of democracy “for the people” is a fundamental concept, while the second is of a procedural nature, and while former French President François de Gaulle said the Supreme Court is the “people”, he was in fact saying what today’s technocratic concept of democracy actually is, which equates to giving all the power to the judges. On the other hand, Maximilien Robespierre, one of the key figures of the French Revolution, said he would like to see the dreadful word “jurisprudence” disappear from the French language, according to Zemmour. 

“Orbán and the Poles have very noble precedents: their democracy concept is not a sub-democracy or an inferior democracy… I also think that if we have to mention a crisis of democracy in the past 20 years, that it because we have abandoned the authentic popular concept of democracy for cold, procedural, judicial concept that gives all the power to the judges,” said Zemmour.

“I find it absolutely lamentable what France, the [European] Commission and Germany are doing to Hungary and Poland,” he said. “The Hungarians and the Poles have the right to organize themselves as they want. It is extraordinary to see that the Commission and the major European countries want to impose concepts of state, democracy, law and morale and criticize Poland for refusing to be dominated by the LGBT lobby.”

Zemmour believess that much of the reason for the EU’s pursuit of the two countries is tied to their stance on migration and their conservative viewpoints on LGBT issues. 

“The European Commission and France are blackmailing them because these two nations do not want migrants, nor will they submit to the LGBT lobby,” said Zemmour. “I think that Hungary and Poland will not give in on migrants and the demands of the European Commission. They don’t want the multicultural society that the Commission and France want to impose on them.”

Zemmour said by the same token Hungary is being criticized for not wanting to take in tens of thousands of migrants. Both Hungary and Poland have recently been the targets of rule of law hearings, with prominent EU officials and politicians threatening to cut EU funding if the two countries do not comply with EU demands, including on LGBT issues. 

“These peoples have the right to organize themselves as they want to,” Zemmour said. “So what is democracy? Is it obeying the concepts of the Brussels’ Commission, which are quite respectable, but one should also be able to question them. I for one contest them, just as Orbán and Poland do.”

“Should we have the right to contest or is it that we have to submit to them, as the former Eastern Europe had to submit to the Soviet Union?” he asked.

He said the Commission’s drive to link EU funding to rule of law requirements is nothing but “economic blackmail”.

Zemmour, who is Jewish, has grown increasingly popular in France for his conservative views on migration and culture, including for his recent calls to deport unaccompanied minors, and his warning that mass migration to Europe is a crime that would end in “bloodshed”. French President Emmanuel Macron is reportedly increasingly worried about the record viewership numbers Zemmour is gaining on the CNews program, with Zemmour now being targeted by an ethics committee, which will determine if he is appearing on the program too often.

A French woman who recorded and uploaded non-graphic footage of a foreign man sexually assaulting her on a train, has accused Facebook of censoring the video post, saying that the social media giant has prevented the sex offender from being exposed. The victim also urged the French government to begin protecting the country’s female population.

During the disturbing video recording, the female victim can be seen sitting facing a foreign man who’s sitting in the chair opposite of her. At first, the recording shows the man — who’s sitting slouched over in the chair — touching his genitals as he looks at the woman. He then mutters a few unintelligible words before he unzips his jeans, grabs the victim’s leg, and attempts to remove her shoe.

Repeatedly, the victim commands the man to stop assaulting her as she attempts to push his hands away from her leg. The video, which she also posted to Twitter, was given a “sensitive material” tag, meaning users have to click to view it. 

She tagged the French National Railway Company (SNCF) in her two video posts, writing, “TER train 17491 / September 26, Marseille Saint Charles — Nice. A jerk assaulted me and touched himself in front of me. Compartment train, empty, no controller anywhere. He assaulted two other girls after me.” 

She explains the assault in a post on Facebook:

“A ‘[mentally] unbalanced’ (that’s how they say it now, right?) attacked me and touched himself in front of me in a compartment train in an empty car. 

I don’t publish this video cheerfully, I know this probably won’t work and that he will never be found, but I just want to point out a real and daily problem. It’s really not good to be a woman right now!

Luckily, when I got out of the train a man defended me and literally pushed him into the wall. A thousand thanks to him. So good to see him crumble in front of a man, a real one.

Sweet France…. take care of you girls.

PS: for the simple-minded who wonder why I didn’t change places…. What do I do when the train is empty and there’s no one around? Move to another compartment and play hide-and-seek at the risk of making it even crazier than it already is?”

Not long after the victim posted the video along with her statement to Facebook, where she tagged President Emmanuel Macron, Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin, and the French National Railway Company (SNCF), the video was flagged and censored by Facebook for violating the Community Standards for Sexual Acts.

Following the censorship of her post, the victim again took to Facebook, writing: “Visibly denouncing the truth and the daily attacks on women in France in 2020 goes against the standards of Facebook. What a nice message of encouragement to crazy people and perverts! ‘Go on, assault, rape, kill, everything is allowed in France, but don’t forget to wear a mask…!”

The SNCF actually responded to the woman on Twitter, although with her video flagged as sensitive material on the platform, it has limited reach. 

The SNCF wrote, “We thank you for this report and sincerely regret the situation you were confronted with. Please know that we take this type of situation very seriously, the well-being & safety of our travelers being our priorities.”

As of this report it’s still unclear whether French authorities are investigating the public sexual assault.

The issue of sexual assault and harassment of women in France has been in the news lately. At the end of September, a woman was punched in the face by a group of youths in Strasbourg for wearing a skirt, with her case garnering national headlines after she posted a video of her injuries to social media. The case highlighted the worsening problem of sexual harassment and sexual assault in France.

Joe Biden’s corrupt, debauched, coke-addled son Hunter has been found to have sold access to his dad’s office for tens of thousands of dollars. That’s the obvious conclusion from a trove of emails with his name on them, showing him driving a hard bargain his his pay to play game, making sure he got paid up front. And Vice President Joe Biden, who’s now running for president? He’s been caught red handed, lying to us about not knowing a thing.

Because sure enough an abandoned computer has turned up, according to theNew York Post, loaded with Hunter’s emails, showing him promising to give corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs access to Joe for a price.

According to the Post:

The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month.

“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email reads.

An earlier email from May 2014 also shows Pozharskyi, reportedly Burisma’s No. 3 exec, asking Hunter for “advice on how you could use your influence” on the company’s behalf.

The blockbuster correspondence — which flies in the face of Joe Biden’s claim that he’s “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings” — is contained in a massive trove of data recovered from a laptop computer.

The emails were discovered in a way that was about par for Hunter’s character: Hunter apparently turned in his Apple MacBook Pro in to a repair shop in 2019, and then ran out on his tab, not bothering to pick the computer up after the technicians did the work, leaving the store in hock. The store owner tried to contact him, got ghosted, and then poked around, finding all kinds of evidence of political and personal sleaze on the device. Then he turned the matter over to the lawmen, but kept a copy of a hard drive, which the Post obtained.

Speaking of sleaze, there was also this:

Other material extracted from the computer includes a raunchy, 12-minute video that appears to show Hunter, who’s admitted struggling with addiction problems, smoking crack while engaged in a sex act with an unidentified woman, as well as numerous other sexually explicit images.

Which rather suggests that the Russians or any number of bad actors might just have copies of the same, known in their world as Kompromat. That would allow them to squeeze Hunter, and quite possibly old Joe for whatever they wanted, just to keep the scuzzy reality from getting out.

Joe Biden, though, is the one who ought to be on the hottest of the hot seats: He’s insisted for years that his son Hunter “did nothing wrong” and in any case, he never discussed business with Shakedown Junior, who often accompanied his dad on his foreign travels, following him around almost as if he black bag was outstretched. 

The Post has that angle in this separate article here:

In the email, Hunter Biden wrote to Archer, “We need to ask for long term agreement and across the board participation. This is a huge step for us that could easily become very complicated. And if we are not protected financially regardless of the outcome we could find ourselves frozen out of a lot of current and future opportunities.

“The contract should begin now- not after the upcoming visit of my guy.

“That should include a retainer in the range of 25k p/m w/ additional fees where appropriate for more in depth work to go to BSF for our protection. Complete separate from our respective deals re board participation.”

And it turns out Joe knew all about it, as the Post reporting describes.

Which would also explain why Biden gets so touchy whenever the matter is brought up. The last person who brought it up directly with him was called: ‘Hey, fat!’ and challenged to a push-up contest.

Why this one should be let go, just as the coup attempt against President Trump has been allowed to go, and the pay to play corruption at the Clinton Foundation is quite a guess. But at some point this has to stop, and Hunter appears to be as good a place as any. Hunter sold the U.S. down the river for his own personal profit. And the Mister Big protecting him was none other than Joe Biden. It’s time to roll this raw corruption up, starting with exposing Joe’s lies and forcing to answer some questions.

Pascal Bruckner, as the ideal representative of the “old heterosexual and western white male,” refuses to be a “scapegoat”. That is, the one described in his new book for Grasset, “Un coupable presque parfait”, anticipated by Le Figaro.For the author of “The Tears of the White Men” and “The Tyranny of Guilt,” views the present as if, in wanting to fight the old demons of the West, a certain progressivism has in fact resurrected them.

Bruckner is afraid of a tribalized society arising in the throes of the struggle of “genders”, “races” and “communities”.

Already in 1983, with the publication of the “Sanglot”, Bruckner broke with a certain left that, at the time, contrasted a radiant and idealized south with a rapacious and oppressive north. It drew the image of the Third World as a place of all the horrors linked to Western prosperity. Cause and effect are obvious: With our voracity and our consumerism, we Westerners starve the masses of India and the Sahel. The vegetable proteins that we destroy to fatten calves and pigs, used differently, would be enough to feed millions of human beings who instead die of starvation.

The television bombards us with gruesome images of those decimated by hunger and disease. But the faces and bodies of these concrete human beings become emblems, projections of our mind.

“The absolute novelty now is that it is the ‘whites’ in Europe and the United States, belonging to the wealthy classes, who curse each other, denounce the ‘unbearable whiteness of our culture’ and use the color of their skin to demonstrate their infamy. The hatred of the white man is first of all a hatred of oneself on the part of the rich white man” who has internalized the accusations.

The “new scapegoat” implies the deviation off-course of three Western causes: feminism, anti-racism and anti-colonialism. “A vast re-education enterprise is underway, at the university, in the media, asking those who are defined as ‘white’ to deny themselves”.

If traditional feminism was universalist and intended to establish both economic and symbolic equality, “neo-feminism is openly separatist, even supremacist and pits the sexes against each other”. The #MeToo? “Iconoclastic enjoyment in demolishing certain known male figures”, Bruckner writes, even if justice would have acquitted them (Philippe Caubère, Luc Besson, Woody Allen). “The feminism of progress has become the feminism of processes”.

The anti-racism of the past defended the idea of ​​a common humanity. “The new anti-racism exacerbates identities, focuses on the color of the skin and even resurrects the concept of race that was believed to have been abolished”, by true nostalgics of the Count de Gobineau.

We denigrate the “chalk faces”, the whites, to celebrate other skin colors by attributing every virtue to them.

Anti-racism is paired with anti-colonialism which is all the more delusional and virulent since colonialism no longer exists. We must decolonize Western countries from within, free them from historical and cultural prejudices. “The last time we experienced racial propaganda was with fascism in the 1930s: the a priori disqualification of part of the population. We’ve been vaccinated, thank you. But it comes back from the Atlantic disguised as anti-racism”.

White people can do nothing right. Look at Amy Cony Barrett, accused of “white colonialism” for adopting two Haitian chldren.

For us to exist is first of all to atone. At the bottom of the hierarchy is the western white heterosexual male. “At the top, black or Arab or Indian, lesbian or queer, the new queens of the universe. Thus all women are in danger, in Raqqa as in Beverly Hills, in Goma as in the seventh arrondissement of Paris”.

According to the new prejudices, “it would be better to be dark than pale, homosexual or transgender than heterosexual, women rather than men, Muslims rather than Jews or Christians, Africans, Asians and natives rather than Westerners”.

And the media lend themselves very generously to this ideological make-up. “The media guillotine is spinning at full speed and, like the other, is thirsty for new heads to cut off”.

There are no more masterpieces, “only the works of the leaders of Western propaganda, from Cervantes to Faulkner”.

Will we have to rewrite all the classic tragedies, those of the Greeks, Shakespeare or Racine, because they incite femicide or assign a negative role to a non-white person, like Othello? “Censor friends, to work, the task is gigantic!”.

Migrants on the Greek island of Samos have angered a local mayor after they filmed themselves licking children’s food in a supermarket as the country sees a resurgence of the Wuhan coronavirus.

Police in the town of Vethi arrested at least one migrant following the publication of the video on social media which shows a man picking up a carton of baby yoghurt in a supermarket and licking the top of it while smiling at the cameraman.Giorgos Stanzos, mayor of East Samos, reacted with anger to the video, saying according to Proto Thema: “Such antisocial behaviour, in the midst of a pandemic, must be punished wherever it comes from. We thank the Greek police for guarding public safety and health.”

The incident comes as Greece has seen a new wave of coronavirus cases in recent weeks, with the country recording 460 cases on October 2nd, the highest daily number since the outbreak this year.

There have also been several cases of newly arrived illegal migrants testing positive for coronavirus, including several who landed on the island of Lesbos in May.

The first migrant to die from the disease was a 61-year-olf Afghan national who had lived at a migrant camp north of Athens and was treated at an Athens hospital before he passed away late last month.

Coronavirus quarantine measures are also said to have been the motivation for several Afghan migrants to light fires that ended up setting the Moria migrant camp ablaze in September that left an estimated 13,000 migrants homeless.

The fire came after at least 35 camp residents had tested positive for coronavirus.

Shortly after the fire, Greek politicians, including Greek Migration Minister Notis Mitarachi, labelled the incident an arson attack. Police later arrested six Afghan migrants, two of them underage and all under 21, in connection with the fires.

In Duisburg (see also tweet above), for example, the operator of a thermal spa decides that in future no more tight bikinis should be worn because families would feel disturbed. To be more precise:

“We are a location where many cultures meet. Permissive behaviour is not always tolerated by all visitor groups”.

Note: Intolerance is only a bad thing if it is exercised by the native German with regard to questionable Islamic customs. However, if the intolerant people are non-German and in the majority, as in Duisburg, the situation is completely different. There, intolerance in the name of tolerance is better given in quickly before anyone else gets upset.
