America's Mission in France - Sequel

This article appeared on D-Day in Le Monde. It was also posted at Bivouac-Id. I have had to condense it. This is not the first time the French press has written about the interest shown by the American government in the suburbs and ghettos of France, in particular Seine-Saint-Denis (see my previous post from 2008). What seems to be happening is a type of "head-hunting" with a strong affirmative action basis, i.e., the Americans are recruiting the "best and the brightest" of French Muslim ghetto dwellers in order to groom them for high-ranking positions, theoretically in France, but also in the U.S.

The inauguration of a giant mural in Villiers-le-Bel. A trip to La Courneuve to meet the young people. An encounter in Bondy with a Hollywood star. The American ambassador to France, Charles Rivkin (photo), has been redoubling his efforts for the past year in the troubled ghettos, but these symbolic and media-oriented operations mask the real scope of a network put in place to identify the elite from the ethnic minority neighborhoods of France.

Note: "Elite" refers to the leaders, the most influential, the brightest.

The American embassy has, in fact, put together the most complete and up-to-date list of names available today on the French suburbs. So complete that even the political parties, the associations, the universities and the media cannot hold a candle to the American embassy's network.

Thus, dozens of group leaders, educators, locally elected officials both on the Right and the Left, artists, young researchers, have been identified as the future elite of French society. "It's fascinating. Every time I meet someone brilliant, he has already been in contact with the embassy," says Ahmed El-Kely, 43, a talk show host on France Ô and one who knows best the ins and outs of diversity.

Note: Why would we want to know who the future leaders of France will be? And why would we want these future leaders to be Muslim, instead of French? The answer must be that we are anticipating the future demise of white European civilization and its replacement by a non-European, non-Christian society.

The most promising young people are offered two or three-week stays in the United States to gain a deeper knowledge of the subjects of interest to them. The "international visitors" program at one time targeted the traditional elite, and figures such as Nicolas Sarkozy and François Fillon took advantage of the offer when they were in their thirties.

Note: The fact that Sarkozy and Fillon participated in this years ago does not serve as a very good recommendation, does it? Three weeks is not a long stay. I would imagine the ultimate goal is to induce them to return here for longer periods of study or entrepreneurial activities.

Since September 11, 2001, the Americans have in part reoriented their influence strategy towards (potential) Muslim leaders of Western countries. A step reenforced by the election of Barack Obama. "Our desire is to identify the future French leaders, those who will emerge and occupy positions of responsibility," explains Laura Berg, cultural attaché at the embassy. "The Americans are counting on a social-demographic change in France," adds researcher Vincent Geisser, 42, a specialist on Islam, who left for the United States in 2009. "They figure that today's elite, old and white, are inevitably going to evolve, and they are identifying those who, today on the periphery of the system, are apt to become the new leaders."

Note: "Evolve" here means "die out".

Then the American government is aware of the inevitability of "population substitution". A headline recently in USA Today announced that the United States in a few years will be composed only of minority groups, including a white minority. There will be no dominant culture, except the culture of multi-culturalism itself, with its tedious dumbness and uniformity. The whites, apparently, are expected to die out. It can be assumed as well that when that happens our formerly flourishing and civilized lands will lapse into a permanently backward and violent state, like South Africa today.

The contradiction lies in the fact that we naively think we can have some kind of influence over future Muslim leaders of Western nations, when in fact they are the ones who are influencing us.

The article points to Randiane Peccoud, 53, a Frenchwoman employed at the embassy, as the person who actually locates the candidates for the project. Always on the alert for information, she learns through word-of-mouth who is doing what.

Praise for Peccoud and for the American system come from the participants:

"It's simple. Randiane knows everybody."(...)

"She holds the Who's Who of Diversity."

"(The Americans) are not looking for media personalities, but for people who take action, who are movers, who produce something."

"I have never seen such a network."

The discrepancy between American activism and French reluctance is a source of regret. As if it were still another indication of the lack of interest of French society. "The embassy is advancing on virgin territory that no institution cares to cultivate," notes Antoine Menuisier, the editor of the Bondy Blog. "We are identified by another country as potential leaders, yet we are not recognized here", adds Rokhaya Diallo, 32, president of the Indivisibles, who has just returned from the United States. "In the United States, we are considered as a hope, as a potential mover of tomorrow's France," exults Reda Didi, 34, human resource consultant and president of Graines de France, a think tank devoted to the problems of the ghettos. Majid El-Jarroudi, a manager, 33, was invited to the United States for an economic summit: "What's troubling is that we get more of a response from the American government than from French institutions."

Note: The above comment is ridiculous. The French institutions have poured millions into welfare, educational and health services for these immigrants/invaders. Of course, France is responsible for their being there, but you cannot say they have not been helped. Look at the positions they hold: consultants, sociologists, managers, etc... Having a good job is not enough. They all want to be president of France. Besides which, their religion is the second largest in France, more protected by the government than Catholicism, and well-supplied with places of worship at taxpayers' expense.

Humorist Yassine Belattar summarizes: "(The Americans') strength is that they put everybody on an equal footing. They don't operate, as the French do, according to labels but according to actions. Who is acting? Who is proposing? Who is innovating? Not: What kind of diploma do you have? Where did you study? Who's your father?"

It is hard to imagine a more devious decision on the part of our government (except possibly for New York's decision to build a mosque on Ground Zero). This began under Bush as an initiative of Condaleeza Rice and continues more intensively under Obama. Though it may seem to be just a pragmatic promotion of the American way of doing business, it means much more in today's climate. First, it means that we are giving gifts to the enemy who attacked us on 9/11. Second, it means we are neglecting the normal future leaders of Europe - the Europeans themselves, who should come first. Third, we are helping to propagate the ideology that will bring down the West - Islam and its jihad, the very ideology behind 9/11 and Fort Hood, and countless other attacks. Fourth, we are butting into the political and social life of another country that is perfectly capable of handling its own affairs. Fifth, we are demonstrating an abysmal ignorance of Islamic doctrine and an equally abysmal refusal to have learned the lessons of the past regarding entitlements, affirmative action, and blind egalitarianism. Sixth, we are potentially creating more violence in France as Muslims will perceive the French as more "racist" than Americans. Seventh, by our actions we are condoning the open borders policy of both the EU and the U.S. Eighth, we are betraying France by turning these invaders even more against their host country. Ninth, our government is, in a word, betraying us, and setting a nice trap for itself into which it will fall as it did in Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan... If this project grows, men like Sarkozy, using us as an example, will try even harder to force the French into swallowing the need for métissage and total egalitarianism, snuffing out the last remaining embers of national pride and personal self-respect.

We have already done this sort of recruiting here among the inner-city blacks. In the 70's and 80's, employers and universities actively sought the best black candidates they could find to fulfill the demands of affirmative action. The supply quickly ran out, however, and soon businesses and schools were accepting anybody who was black, not just the best. The result has been a general lowering of standards throughout our society, an increase in the demands for entitlements, and ultimately a transformation of the entire value system that has prevailed in America until now..

No conservative, traditionalist American government would ever do this. Only Socialist America (including liberal Republicans like Bush) would ever conceive of such a thing. We should be warning the French about the dangers of allowing massive Third World immigrants into France, not grooming them to become her leaders! This time, if general war breaks out, we really will be the enemy of civilization, as so many like to claim we are. A complete reversal of everything we stood for is taking shape, and because of demographics it will become impossible to reverse course.

As a footnote, I heard today on the news that the overwhelming majority (about 75%) of candidates for the American army are either too fat, too stupid, or too immoral to qualify! Ready for the Caliphate?
