Boris Caves To EU Over Brexit Trade Deal
The Western white male is the new scapegoat
by Giulio Meotti
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!”.

Greece: Migrants Film Themselves Licking Baby Food in Supermarket
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.
Thermal spa in the German Islamist stronghold Duisburg bans too tight bikinis
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.

Germany: 14-year-old girl drugged and raped? The accused Pakistani is denying everything
The girl who is said to have been drugged and then raped by Taswar A. (28 years old) was just 14 years old. But during the trial before the regional court, which began on Monday, the Pakistani living in the Wilmersdorf district denied the accusation and claimed: “Everything that happened was by mutual agreement.In May 2020 he claims to have met Jenny (name changed) at Alexanderplatz in Berlin. “I was there with a friend. She with a friend.” They started talking while drinking beer. Finally, the girl asked him for his mobile phone number.”She actually called me on the 25th, wanted to meet up.” First at the Alexanderplatz. “Where do you live?”, she asked him there. Together they went to the underground station Konstanzer Street.The accused said: “I went to get some beers from the Rewe supermarket. She rolled a joint.” She then asked him: “Do you want some? Doesn’t hurt you.” Until then, he claims he had nothing to do with drugs.An assertion which is in stark contrast to the indictment. It is based on the assumption that the accused was financing his living as a dealer and had not only sold ecstasy to the underage girl several times in the past, but had also given her about 0.75 grams of cocaine that evening in his flat.
Jenny had become sick from it. She had vomited in the bathroom. Couldn’t walk on her own after that. Taswar A. is said to have taken advantage of her helpless situation, undressed her lying motionless on the mattress, rubbed her back with oil and then raped her. A flatmate heard her cries of pain.
The accused claimed: “It was not like that. She asked me to massage her, took off her vest. She kissed me, took off her panties … And after that? “We sat together for a moment. “Then she wanted to go home.”Why she made the accusations of rape afterwards? “It was a real shock for me. I hadn’t done anything.” Later, after she had left, he saw her talking to two boys in the street. “She must have told them something like that. They came up to me and pushed me and hit me.”
Back home, the police were already looking for him.
Judge: “So you had nothing to do with narcotics? The accused: “I have taken one or two in my life.” Judge: “Drugs were found in a backpack in the flat. Defendant: “The rucksack was with my buddy.” Judge: “And the substances in her blood?” Defendant: “I can’t explain it.”
The trial continues on Friday ( 16th of October).
Major social fraud in Germany: Turk rips off over 6 million euros
Authorities trusted him, the man who allegedly gave hundreds of immigrants a new perspective. After all, he was also the father of a member of parliament for the Social Democratic Party (SPD) at the time.
But Selim Ö. (59) is said to have made a fortune out of the misery of others, cheating the state out of 6.1 million euros. The alleged XXL social fraudster has been in the dock at the Regional Court since Tuesday.
It took the public prosecutor a full three hours to read the indictment, which is more than 100 pages long: “The defendant is accused of 758 crimes in which social benefits amounting to 6.1 million euros were paid without justification under false pretences.33 further attempted frauds would not have been successful. But in the other cases, the defendant is said to have cashed most of the money.
According to the public prosecutor’s office, the ploy worked like this: Selim Ö. got in touch with Bulgarian immigrants as the 1st chairman of the associations “Agency for Employment and Integration e.V.” and “Society for Family and Gender Mainstreaming e.V.”. In the years 2013 to 2016, he is said to have issued them fake employment contracts and helped them to establish pseudo self-employment.
At the beginning of the trial the public prosecutor presented case by case core data of employment contracts with migrants who were allegedly employed by the “Agency for Employment and Integration” or the “Society for Family and Gender Mainstreaming” during the period of the crime. In each case the public prosecutor listed the sums paid out to the migrants by the job centre – sometimes hundreds, often thousands of euros!
According to the prosecution’s investigations, Selim Ö. was aware that the immigrants were not entitled to financial assistance from the Job Centre.
In order to deceive the authorities, he is said to have pretended that the destitute women and men were employees in marginal employment. “In fact, no labour services were provided by the immigrants for the associations at all,” said the public prosecutor. The immigrants have therefore given untruthful information.
From 2013 to 2016, no one at the Job Centre noticed the serial fraud. At the start of the trial, the defendant remained silent. Another 36 days of trial are planned until June next year.
‘They are thieves, murderers and rapists’ — Zemmour in hot water again over comments on so-called unaccompanied minors
Éric Zemmour, the French philosopher and essayist, has once again found himself the target of the ethics committee of Canal + Group, which is the network owner of CNews, for comments he recently made about so-called ‘unaccompanied minors’ during one of his frequent appearances on the channel.
Five members of the ethics committee will speak with Christine Kelly, a French journalist who’s often featured on the same programs as Zemmour as well as CNews chief Serge Nedjar and several magistrates to determine whether additional airtime will be granted to the writer and polemicist.
The review of Zemmour’s place on the CNews program as well as an investigation opened by the Paris prosecutor’s office for “incitement of racial hatred” and “racist public insults” come just days after the right-wing thinker was fined $10,000 euros for allegedly ‘inciting religious hatred’ during a speech he gave last September on Islam and migration.
This time, Zemmour, as he so often does, ignited public opinion when he made less than flattering remarks about ‘unaccompanied minors’ in France on the program Face à l’Info late last month, Le Parisienreports.
When referring to the ‘unaccompanied minors’ living in France, Zemmour argued that “Each foreign minor costs us €50,000… They are thieves, they are murderers, they are rapists, and that’s all they do.”
The NGO SOS Racisme, the International League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism, and the Loire-Atlantique Department have also filed parallel complaints against Zemmour – a Jew of Algerian origin himself – for his comments.
Earlier this month, Zemmour again made waves when he asserted that not only do unaccompanied migrant minors in France cost the state vast sums of money, but they’re also a major source of crime and delinquency, Remix News reported.
“Among the these minors, some 40,000 to 50,000 a year cost us [in France] billions [of euros], and feature an enormous delinquency. I never said they are all delinquents, all I said was that a great many of them are,” Zemmour said while speaking on the French news channel CNews.
The French government has grown increasingly alarmed over Zemmour and his growing popularity in France. His shows break ratings records. For example, his appearance on CNews drew a record of 600,000 viewers on Oct. 5, up from the 80,000 viewers the show was receiving a year before. The Élysée is reportedly worried that Zemmour may be a threat to President Emmanuel Macron’s reelection bid, with polls showing that his main contender, Marine Le Pen, will likely fare better in the next election in 2022.
Zemmour, perhaps France’s most eminent public right-wing intellectual, has been a vocal critic against mass migration from the third-world into Europe for years. Late last month, Zemmour, while speaking on CNews, asserted that mass migration into Europe should be regarded as nothing less than population replacement, a crime against the European peoples, and warned that it would end in bloodshed, Remix News reported.
“Immigration changes the makeup of a people. It is a crime against the European peoples, it will end in bloodshed,” Zemmour said.
The French intellectual’s polemic speeches have made him a target, not just of the French government, but also migrants. Last spring, video surfaced on social media which showed a man who appeared to be Middle Eastern or North African threatening Zemmour with violence as he walked alone on the streets of Paris. The young man, who filmed himself accosting Zemmour, also claimed to have spat on the journalist, Remix News reported.

Former German mainstream journalist feels ‘liberated to work for free media’
On Saturday, at the invitation of the AfD, the Second Free Media Conference took place in the Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus of the German Bundestag. The former mainstream journalist Matthias Matussek (who has written for Spiegel, Welt and Stern) gave a lecture there on the topic of “Critics on the sidelines – the ‘quality media’ are losing their bright minds”.
Matussek’s articles were no longer published by the mainstream because of his focus on the family, nation and faith. He now works for Tichy’s Enblick, the Deutschland-Kurier, Tumult and the Swiss Welt Woche instead. His says this has given him a feeling of freedom, as he can finally write about what moves him deeply and what he considers to be very important for Germany.
PI-NEWS conducted an interview with the experienced journalist at the conference, in which he addresses the pressures of political correctness that everyone who works in the mainstream media is exposed to. This is why the free media are becoming increasingly important, he pointed out.
This quarter-hour interview provided some insights from an unconventional freethinker into the severe restrictions he encountered in the mainstream media.
Matussek said he could not understand why Chancellor Merkel completely changed her convinctions. She was still patriotic and conservative in the early 2000s. He also disapproved of the blockade being put into place by the old parties, probably in a bid not to grant the largest opposition party in the Bundestag the post of Bundestag Vice-President.
Personalities which have shown complete integrity such as the exemplary lawyer and mother of three Mariana Harder-Kühnel was turned down. He said the position was given instead to the obese and barely literate Green Party politician Claudia Roth who rushes proceedings simply because she wants to go and stuff her face with food.
Matussek recounted how a Spiegel journalists tore a German flag out of his hand during the 2006 World Cup euphoria, although the then Spiegel publisher Rudolf Augstein was himself a patriot.
According to him, his wife who is from the former East Germany said that under the DDR, everyone knew that an honest opinion was never expressed in public. The real issues were discussed at home behind closed doors only, for fear of reprisals. Today she says the DDR is back again: Everyone is too scared to say what they really think.
The former head of the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) Gerhard Schindler has meanwhile outlined Merkel’s huge mistake in dealing with the migrant crisis in 2015. The statement by Merkel “We can do it” was a pull factor, motivating many migrants to come to Germany, he argued.
In Schindler’s view, a “timely signal to the countries of origin” would have been important. Closing the border with Austria would have shown, for example, “that Germany is not the promised land and that not everyone can be welcome here because this is simply not possible,” explained the former BND head.
But the signal failed to appear “for fear of unpleasant TV pictures at the German borders”.
His counterparts from all over the world were appalled by the German approach. With Merkel’s decision, those responsible in the federal government isolated Europe and divided Germany within a very short time.
This “mass immigration and division of society” are fatal for internal security. Foreigners are overrepresented in the crime statistics. “The reports about the everyday crime of Arab clans in our big cities are gradually decreasing acceptance of immigration, act by act,” warned Schindler.
He added that registering all migrants when they enter Germany was an insufficient measure. Among the newcomers there could still be “criminals, extremists or torturers without our being able to recognize them due to a lack of matching options,” warned the former BND chief.
He advocated less immigration and a “consistent deportation of rejected and criminal asylum seekers”. The corresponding numbers are currently “regrettably low”. Some federal states are not willing to deport migrants, said Schindler.
