jules and friends...

Jules Letambour had a fondue night with a few of his dwindling (socialist) friends. Jacques, Robert, Frank, Jean-Paul, Rémy, Phillipe and Jason. The hot Glühwein flowed like the pure local water stream fed by the Jura’s melting snow.

 

As we know, Jules, professeur d’histoire et de géographie à la retaite, is a stickler for history and records. They were all joyfully pissed and bloated with the bread and cheese. Jules had by some accident, turned on his old reel to reel playing device on RECORD, thinking it was playing music. The music actually was coming from the radio (an old valve set that had come from his dad, and that Jules had fixed himself with the help of a local electrician). Being an amateur of classical music, France Music was playing what he thought he had on tape, enregistré about 25 years ago… By next day, to his horror, Jules noted he had wiped his favourite recording of Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande for the conversation the night before. Here is an extract…

 

— Macron est un con… (Macron is a c**t — from then on the conversation will be in English for the Anglo/Saxon populace.)

— He would fuck his own mother… Look at what he’s doing to our kids… My Joel is approaching sa retraite (retirement) and Macron wants to push it back another two years…

— I still remember when retirement used to be at 55…

— Yeah… My uncle who worked for the SNCF (railways) lived till 95. As a stoker on locomotives, he was not expected to survive beyond 56… The coal dust and all that, err… He had the pension, free travels on trains, and spent his “holidays” in winter on the Riviera. He lived in a location (rented) shoebox and when he and his wife, Louisette, died within a few days of each others, he had a few million francs at the Caisse d’Epargne (public savings account).

— Good old French stock…

— He had gone to Les Antilles, to rescue poor people when the Mont Pelé had exploded… He was in the French navy then. His little apartment was full of mementos. A stuffed baby croc, an oil painting of an old sailing ship from the 19th century, and countless bibelots. He even had a bronze cast of Napoleon from 1817…

— Yeah, Macron thinks he’s Napoleon.

— He’s shorter… Napoleon was quite tall for the times. 

— Napoleon would not talk to Putin, would he?

— No. He would invade Russia and loose his pants…

— No, I mean, look, Macron talked again with this “war criminal”, apparently. According to madame.

— La ministre des affaires foutues?

— Yeah, Zelensky keeps a line of contact with Putin via Macron and Sergeant Shultz, the guy in charge of Les Boches. 

— are we going to send some planes? To be shot down like ducks in the pond next door? 

— one wonders what Macron and Putin would talk about…

— Macron: “ stop it or you’ll go blind”…(not in those words but similar). Putin: “I told you before, Crimea is Russian, the Donbass is Russian and Russia does not want Ukraine to be part of l’OTAN (NATO). Zelensky is supported by the West at the West’s own peril. Remember, Zelensky, despite being Jewish, is a supporter of Stepan Bandera, whose organisation murdered more than 600,000 jews during world war two and participated in the nazi invasion of Russia. Today we celebrate the defense of Stalingrad against the Nazis… and we want a guarantee that our friends, the Americans, won’t invade Russia…. blah blah blah.

— Yes we know. Putin tells the history bluntly with the skill of a professional oyster-bar employee…

— … To which Macron would say: “Yes I know but, but but but-butbut….”

— “Why are you supporting fascism once more, Emmanuel?”

— “My dear Vladimir, we have to go with what Washington says..”

— No non. Macron would not say this. He’s too proud not to be his own man. He’s a psychologist and knows how to butter the bread economically… 

— Yes, Macron would find a way to blame Putin for the war…

— It’s not a war, it’s a “military intervention”.

— It’s sad that the whole thing has come to this. Mothers are travelling miles (kilometres) to recover the bits of their sons killed on a battlefield of death. So Macron would blame Putin for this butchery.

— Putin could reply that the same, or worse, happened for eight years in the Donbass. I’ve seen the pictures and the official United Nations observations were that more than 14,000 people got killed by the Kiev regime since 2014…

— And Hollande and Merkel bullshitted Putin about the Minsk Agreements. Mind you he had to know this, but nonetheless, Putin tried to be friendly and a handshake is a handshake. I believe that Russians are less devious than the French and German politicians…

— Putin is a stickler for agreements. This annoys Jens no-end. Jens is a bombastic old trebuchet facing a 75 mm cannon. 

— They did not help us against the Panzers (this is a reference to the french horse-drawn “good” 75mm cannons facing the German Leopard tanks in 1940. Trying to play Klumondo with matchsticks.)

— So is Macron going to send a few Rafales to Ukraine or not?

— If I was Macron, I would not… but I’m not a psychologist with the brilliance of a “grosse tête”…

— So what’s going to happen next?

— I’m going back home, to my nuclear shelter.

— aren’t we too old for this shit?

— When I was fighting the Arabs in Algeria, we knew we were on a slippery slope…

— We’ve had a good life since… Despite the French leadership. But we, on the left, are divided like the crazies of the French Revolution… They ended up with Napoleon…

— Sure, Napoleon, bien sure. Macron isn’t Napoleon…

— Pity. We need the General de Gaulle once more.

— He was nearly two metres tall… Macron reaches barely one-sixty… He needs high heels…

— That’s the problem. Look at the American Lloyd Austin and his Phillipino counterpart. Like Laurel and Hardy. 

— The best car demolition ever… (one has to see this old classic Laurel and Hardy).

— Politics at its best. Good night, les amis… 

— Bonsoir….

macron calls putin....

French President Emmanuel Macron’s phone calls with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, mainly took place “at the request of President Zelensky” of Ukraine, a spokeswoman for the French Foreign Ministry stated on Saturday. Zelensky has publicly declared that he will never speak to Putin in person, and has made peace talks with the Russian leader illegal.

“Mr. Macron calls President Putin mainly at the request of President [Vladimir] Zelensky, and always in coordination with our allies to maintain a channel for dialogue,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Anne-Claire Legendre said during an interview with RTVI.

Kiev has never admitted that Zelensky presses his Western backers into speaking to Putin, and the Ukrainian leader himself signed a decree in October forbidding negotiations with Moscow unless “another president of Russia” replaces the current Kremlin occupant. With negotiations officially off the table, Zelensky has repeatedly vowed to use force to seize Russian territory that is claimed by Ukraine, including Crimea.

Among Western leaders, Macron is one of a small minority who maintain contact with Putin. Both he and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz have held regular phone calls with the Russian leader since Moscow’s military operation in Ukraine began almost a year ago.

Legendre said that at some point “Ukrainians will decide that the time has come for negotiations. That is why we consider it useful to maintain this channel of dialogue.”

Macron and Scholz have been condemned by their Eastern European allies for holding discussions with Putin. “Why talk to him? He’s a war criminal,” Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas declared last summer. “I feel that if everybody is constantly calling him, he doesn’t get the message that he’s isolated.”

Although Macron has defended his conversations with Putin, and has spoken publicly of the need to reach a ceasefire deal that doesn’t “humiliate Russia,” he has still supplied Kiev’s military with progressively heavier weapons. France announced last month that it would send infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine, and Macron last week refused to rule out the eventual transfer of fighter jets.

Western nations that supply weapons to Ukraine have made themselves de facto participants in the conflict, Moscow has repeatedly stated.

the voice of fraternity.....

by Regis Chamagne

Remember that the war unfolding in Ukraine is only the tip of a much deeper iceberg: the geopolitical paradigm shift that opposes the “collective West” to the rest of the world. It is in this that American officials recently admitted that it was for them an existential question.

existential questions

The non-lobotomized observers understood from the beginning of the special military operation that it was a question of survival for Russia. The de facto integration of the Ukrainian army into NATO since at least 2014, favored by the deception of the Minsk agreements, and the preparation of a NATO-Ukrainian offensive in the Donbass posed a direct threat to Russian territory. The outbreak of hostilities by Russia was therefore a defensive maneuver in the face of NATO's latent offensive which was to result in a very real offensive.

The Americans and their European minions initially thought that the economic sanctions would sink the Russian economy and that the Ukrainian army, armed and led by NATO, would push back the Russian army. But there ! Russia is self-sufficient in food, energy and practically self-sufficient in industry, thanks in particular to China, which supplies it with certain electronic components it needs. As for defence, the Russian military-industrial complex produces materials at a lower cost, in large numbers and effective while that of the collective West produces very expensive materials, in limited numbers and moderately effective. Moreover, on state directives, Russian industry was able to move quickly to 24-hour production, with 3-8 shifts, while American private industries are unable to do so, for the simple reason that their operation is conditioned by profit rather than the higher interests of their nation.

Let us remember in this respect that defense is to the nation what immune defenses are to the human body. Privatizing the defense industry is like relying on vaccines to preserve your health. Having a national defense industry amounts to strengthening one's own immune defenses through a healthy lifestyle. Any analogy with recent events is obviously purely coincidental.

On the American side (with its minions…), the center of gravity of the system is the dollar. The role of the US military is to impose the dollar as a global currency, which has so far allowed the US to ransom the entire planet (or almost) with its monkey money. " If you are not with us, you are against us. said Debeliou Bush in his time; It can not be any clearer. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria... A military defeat of the collective West in Ukraine would therefore mean, in the long term, for the United States, the end of the hegemony of the dollar, the heart of their system of domination and consequently the collapse of their system. It is therefore indeed an existential question for the United States, with regard to the world it claimed to dominate.

Weak signals that are getting stronger and stronger indicate a ground movement in the world.

A fundamental movement

For the moment, the “non-aligned” countries; in short, Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia and the Middle East, are confined to a posture of “nice” neutrality (you never know with these Americans). Condemn the Russian invasion? Not really ! Send arms to Ukraine? No thanks ! These are weak, “nice” signals.

At the same time, things are happening that would have been unimaginable ten years ago: exchanges in non-dollar currencies are multiplying in trade agreements such as those between China and Saudi Arabia, Western armies are being kicked out of their former colonies (see France in Mali, CAR or Burkina Faso for example) for the benefit of Russia or China. All of this is part of a fundamental movement that rejects colonialism and Western neo-colonialism. If this is done today, it is simply possible. This means that the geopolitical reality is such that it makes it possible to question symbols that have been rooted in history for a long time. And that is huge. It is a shift in consciousness.

The decisive offensive

Some indicators point to a strategic Russian offensive in Ukraine in the near future. There is panic in Washington, so much so that they were able to offer Russia a ridiculous way out of the crisis in a posture of the weak against the strong, believing themselves to be still the strongest.

NATO's military defeat is therefore looming, and with it the end of American hegemony over the world.

I don't predict what form this offensive will take, but I imagine an operation that will use air force as a strategic tool (so far the Russians have used air force in a tactical role) coordinated with a maneuver appropriate electronic warfare. The appointment of General Surovikin at the head of the aerial maneuver suggests this kind of employment. There will probably also be maneuvers of deception, so weak and disorganized is the Ukrainian army, in order to act where it does not expect it, notwithstanding NATO's strategic reconnaissance means. Basically, amassing forces in one place to concentrate the NATO-Ukro-Nazi armies and rush into a hole with lighter means supported by aviation and artillery. These are all tactical guesses, but Russia's superiority on the ground gives it such a wide range of possibilities that anything is imaginable. In any case, I think we are going to be surprised by the form this decisive offensive will take.

The interactions

When all eyes are on the Russian offensive in Ukraine, we will have to look elsewhere. How quickly will weak signals turn into geopolitical reality? What will be the interactions between the reality of the military situation in Ukraine (the tip of the iceberg) and the shifts towards the new world (the submerged part of the iceberg)?

It will be necessary to look in at least two directions, but there are surely others: the requests to join the BRICS and the nature of the monetary exchanges with the “non-aligned” countries and the new world that is being built.

The BRICs were originally an English acronym (English-Americans love acronyms) of an English economics journalist who grouped countries with strong economic growth. This acronym became a geopolitical reality in June 2009, in Yekaterinburg, when Russia organized the first gathering of these countries. That said, there are other institutions outside the Western field such as the SCO or ASEAN, but they are regional, while the BRICS, with a more flexible format and more open to the outside, open up the possibility of a larger gathering. This is perhaps the embryo of a future international organization which will eventually replace the UN.

More importantly, it will be necessary to monitor economic and monetary exchanges between countries outside the collective West. In which currencies? At what pace and with what intensity? This is where the geopolitical paradigm shift is taking place. This is really what we will have to watch out for when the Russian military offensive begins.

And France in all this? When France becomes eternal France again, faithful to its great and long history, that of General de Gaulle, stripped of the traitors who have administered it for decades, it will naturally take its rightful place, that which the peoples of the whole world offers him: a voice! The voice of freedom, the voice of respect for self-determination of peoples, the voice of fraternity.
