Last Saturday, CNews launched "Place for Ideas", an ambitious magazine enlightened by the thought of Eugénie Bastié, of the "Figaro", and by the dialectic of Gabrielle Cluzel, noticeably more to the right. The opportunity to explore the intellectual matrix of the ultra-left, embodied by authors such as George Sand, Victor Hugo, Émile Zola or Michel Foucault. And to highlight the plot of the great replacement thanks to the insight of the guest of honor, Alain Finkielkraut.
Make way for ideas, proclaims the title of the new CNews program launched last Saturday. What a pleasure to see a channel putting philosophical debate in the spotlight. “Welcome to your new weekend meeting, greets presenter Clélie Mathias. One hour with Eugénie Bastié and her guests. Excellent initiative to feature the journalist from Le Figaro. The excesses of this reactionary anti-feminist will certainly arouse interesting reactions. “And in front of you for an hour, Gabrielle Cluzel. " It will bleed. Gabrielle Cluzel is editor-in-chief of Boulevard Voltaire, a site condemned for provoking hatred against Muslims. By opposing a representative of the extreme right to a representative of the extreme right, CNews shows that she is capable of a brown, sorry, a bit of pluralism.
“First theme you wanted to address, announces Clélie Mathias, the left and its relationship with the police. Eugénie Bastié returns to Audrey Pulvar's statement: “She described the police demonstration as a 'demonstration supported by the extreme right to put pressure on the deputies, a chilling image'. These remarks are absolutely detestable, false, Manichean. In reality, it was a demonstration of leftists supported by Yannick Jadot, Olivier Faure and Fabien Roussel. “These remarks are indicative of a drift of a part of the left which is becoming radicalized on questions of the police and security. Cursed radicalized left when the right, playing appeasement, simply proposes the abandonment of the rule of law.
“Is this explained historically? Asks Clélie Mathias. — Yes, this hatred of the police has two major historical sources, replies Eugénie Bastié. First, there are those who think that the state has a monopoly on legitimate violence…” Because they misread Max Weber. “And there is another tradition which comes notably from Marx and Engels who says no, the state is not legitimate because it represents the interests of the ruling class, of the bourgeoisie, and the police are the guardian of dominant interests. A misconception, everyone could see that the police were a tool of emancipation for the oppressed. “There is a second major source, it is leftism as it was able to express itself in May 68 with this CRS=SS idea, the idea of a police state. As if the Minister of the Interior stood at attention in front of the far-right police unions.
“It is a mistake on the left to despise the police, believes Eugénie Bastié. Because the left is the French Revolution, article 12 of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen: “The guarantee of the rights of Man and of the citizen requires a public force.” " Well, it's strange, the journalist forgot to quote the second part of the article: "This force is therefore instituted for the benefit of all, and not for the particular utility of those to whom it is entrusted. The revolutionaries of 1789 must have read Marx and Engels, they feared that the police would serve the rulers. “There is no right if there is no public force to guarantee it, continues Eugénie Bastié. The first of freedoms is order and security. This is already what a certain Jean-Marie Le Pen, a notorious promoter of human rights, said in 1992.
Clélie Mathias intervenes: “I would like to have Gabrielle Cluzel's opinion on all these points. “Oh yes, me too! The editorialist judges that the left is “fractured” between two options on the security issue: “Either choose the crazy headlong rush of the ultra-left or play the security card, be on the party of order. From the right-wing party of the left. “It goes back to the 19th century, this sort of fascination with the bad boy. Lacenaire was a nineteenth-century delinquent. George Sand, Victor Hugo, there was a whole bourgeois intelligentsia who were fascinated. Who sang "Everybody Hates the Police" at the end of his dinner parties. “Afterwards, there was May 68 and then, in 1975, Michel Foucault with Discipline and punish who showed that prison was not good. “While prison is a formidable school for crime and radicalization.
“We see this narrative that we find on the ultra-left which consists of applying the schema of the class struggle to what is currently happening in the suburbs. Not to mention the racialists who stick the schema of racism there. “Left rhetoric is always Sartre's schema. Those who oppress are the police, and then there is Robin Hood, or the eternal Zola, who are the ultra-left with the Black Blocs. Who shoot our police with volumes of L'Assomoir. “We see that the terrorist of Rambouillet was going to drink in this breeding ground of recriminations. To eradicate terrorism, the reading of Zola should be prohibited. And for the anti-cop hatred to cease definitively, the police, during their next demonstration, should proceed to the burning of the works of Marx, Engels, Hugo, Sand, Foucault, Sartre, Zola...
“Mélenchon spoke of “factious” police officers, reports Clélie Mathias. - We can clearly see the reference to the Leagues and February 6, 1934, deciphers Eugénie Bastié. But at that time, we should remind the left, it was the police who arrested the Leagues, who prevented them from carrying out a coup. Judicious reminder: on May 19, it was the police themselves who demonstrated, so they could not stop themselves. “There is a double analogy in the imagination of the left which leads it to delegitimize the police – because the left is very fond of making analogies, historical or spatio-temporal comparisons that are a little risky. That wouldn't happen to the right, which makes analogies between Zola and the Black Blocs.
“The second reference, details Eugénie Bastié, is the United States, the racial question. We are going to model the problem of police violence in the United States, which is specific to black Americans because there is a whole history of racism very different from ours. Indeed, if the United States suffers from the reminiscences of its past, centuries of colonization and slavery have preserved France from all racism. “We absolutely want to find a French George Floyd, this is the speech of Audrey Pulvar with Adama Traoré… She quotes on October 17, 1961, Malik Oussekine, Zyed and Bouna, Adama and Théo, various facts with people who died after a confrontation with the police of which we do not know if the death was attributed to the police and we know even less if it was racist. It could very well be heart attacks or sprained lungs.
“This bundle of cases, deplores Eugénie Bastié, is spread out to demonstrate that there would be violence against minorities from immigration. That even the Defender of Rights denounced, also succumbing to indigenism. “It's the famous notion of systemic racism, a completely conspiratorial notion…” Paranoid. “She suggests that behind scattered facts, there would be a deliberate will of the State to attack a certain category of the population. “As if the delinquents of the beautiful districts, Nicolas Sarkozy, Carlos Ghosn or Patrick Balkany, did not also undergo choke keys, ventral tackles, LBD shots and beatings in order.
Clélie Mathias recalls the laxity of justice, Gabrielle Cluzel confirms: “Offenders make the law in the street, that's what the French feel. As a result, the French no longer dare to go out in the street, that's what Gabrielle Cluzel feels. “To come back to the violence that can be attributed to the police, they have a monopoly on legitimate violence. “Legitimate for Gérald Darmanin. “In 'legitimate violence', there is 'violence': to arrest a violent offender, it is rarely with a bouquet of roses. “Although… Whipping a delinquent with rose branches, you should try it, it would change from the telescopic truncheon. “If we take a short, well-directed video, we can quickly sue them. Hence the need, in order not to distort the facts, to prohibit the filming of the police.
"There is a romantic image of the delinquent, insists Gabrielle Cluzel, it's a bit like Les Choristes. With Gérald Darmanin in place of Gérard Jugnot. “When the ecological mayor of Lyon says that we are going to create workshops between the police and the inhabitants, it is very revealing… And the judge, is he going to come in a tutu to play Swan Lake? No, that's ridiculous. Why not a Minister of the Interior in the role of a satyr, while we're at it? Clélie Mathias calls for “the last word, Eugénie Bastié. — I will quote the words of Charles Péguy, “only order creates freedom”. Against the harmful influence of Zola, Hugo or Foucault, thank you to CNews for rehabilitating Péguy. “Today, there is no order in the city. Marine Le Pen said it, “the country is out of control”. “Impunity reigns. The prisons are empty. “No one is afraid of the police anymore. “Ah, let’s return to the good times when the police terrorized the population…
“The guest of Place aux Ideas: Alain Finkielkraut, announces Clélie Mathias. Eugénie Bastié, why did you want to receive it for this first broadcast? — Because Alain Finkielkraut is my favorite among intellectuals. “A darling so cute. “It was he who gave me a taste for the life of ideas. And the taste of rancid ideas. “I asked you what topics you wanted to discuss, you told me that you love McFly and Carlito and that you had followed with interest the interview given by the president to these youtubers. — I really resent my time for having forced a word like “youtubeur” into my mouth and nicknames like McFly or Fly Rider, laments the philosopher. What happened to France, land of arts, weapons and laws, to become the land of McFly and Fly Rider? These are the Hugos and Zolas of modern times, if I have understood correctly.
“Fly Rider, Maxime Nicolle, wanted to take the Élysée, recalls Alain Finkielkraut. McFly is received there with all the honors with Carlito by the one whom the two friends call “the director of Gaul”. What happened to the transgression so that it is embodied today in the insolence of these young people who are very proud to do somersaults in the gardens of the Élysée? “It happened to him that it was Emmanuel Macron who chose the most subversive form of it. “It is the culmination of a long process that dates back to the invention of television. Abhorred by the philosopher to the point of never ceasing to strut about it. “If I was young myself, I would feel offended. We are living in a particular moment of chronic violence… ”The content of CNews broadcasts bears witness to this. “… Every day there are attacks on firefighters, mortar fire on the police and then a doctor whose office was ransacked, a mayor attacked…” As Marine Le Pen says, “the country is out of control”. “And then these wild rodeos in Lyon which are not only provocations. These are acts of occupiers: “We are at home and we taunt the mayor by doing our rodeos on the town hall square.” It is the Occupation with bikers from the housing estates instead of the Nazis. Their rodeos are the symptom of the great replacement.
“Seeing McFly and Carlito curl up, with what is happening…, laments Alain Finkielkraut. We cannot share their good humor. — There is a lack of sense of the tragic which is quite bewildering, approves Eugénie Bastié. In an interview with Zadig, Emmanuel Macron compares Seine-Saint-Denis to California without the sea, it makes you wince. — It's a very high quality interview, Macron is intelligent and shows sensitivity. And then all of a sudden, disaster, Seine-Saint-Denis. Clélie Mathias intervenes: “I don't know if you've seen Éric Zemmour on this subject. "I saw him," Finkielkraut replies. No big deal, we'll show it to you anyway because it's a custom on CNews to rebroadcast the words of its star in all its shows to make the guests react to the voice of reason.
"For me, California is my youth, the hippies," says Zemmour. And today it's Google, etc. I haven't seen Google invented in Seine-Saint-Denis. On the other hand, the State does not even know how many illegal immigrants there are. And the prosecutor of Seine-Saint-Denis says that it is the most criminogenic department in France. “I was flabbergasted,” adds Finkie. Emmanuel Macron sets up Seine-Saint-Denis as a model, a department where France assumes to be a country of immigration. This immigration means that, as Éric Zemmour said, there are an incalculable number of illegal immigrants, that integration is not possible…” As a sociologist, Zemmour is all the same more reliable than Foucault. “This means that Emmanuel Macron assumes to be the president of the change of people and the change of civilization. This is proof that he personally directs this conspiracy of the globalist elites that we call the great replacement.
“We had a strange week, continues Eugénie Bastié, with the government which stood to attention about the murder of a woman in Hayange by her companion and at the same time this choice of rapper Youssoupha for the team of Blues. “Ah, is it the government that chose Youssoupha's song? I thought it was the FFF native commercials. "A rapper who in one of his songs called for the rape of Marine Le Pen", assures the journalist.
“First, reacts Alain Finkielkraut, the choice of a rapper for the France team is very debatable because rap is aimed at a certain audience, a certain youth. There are many people who have another idea of song, music, poetry than rap. It would have taken a java, only authentically French style. “This choice recalls that of Black M for Verdun. We say to ourselves “no-it's-not-possible”. “There are only for the Bamboulas. “We could have expected a massive protest from feminists. But Marine Le Pen is supposed to be racist and for those who are said to be racist, there is no protection. Poor martyred racists.
“Racism referred to a certain ideology or a certain type of behavior, explains Alain Finkielkraut. Today it is a Kafkaesque accusation, it can fall on anyone at any time for any reason. While only racialists are racist. “The RN has all kinds of faults but demonization means that racism is no longer tolerated there. Phew, I am reassured: according to the survey carried out by our lighthouse of thought, racism has been eradicated from the RN. Now you know who to vote for.
“There is a denial on the part of feminists, approves Eugénie Bastié. - We talk a lot about the culture of rape in France and some feminists say that feminicide is the culmination of this culture, notes the philosopher. But for the abominable assassinations of Mérignac and Hayange, what relationship between these assassinations and France? In Mérignac, it was a Franco-Algerian, in Hayange, a Serb who obtained the status of political refugee. This is proof that only foreigners commit feminicide, that only barbarians perpetuate the culture of rape. Instead of wondering about the latter, “we should wonder about the use of the right of asylum”. And stop respecting those pesky human rights. “When we say “another feminicide”, we would like a little intellectual honesty. Remember that intellectual honesty consists in “thinking” like Alain Finkielkraut.
“A word of conclusion, Eugénie Bastié, again claims Clélie Mathias. — Alain Finkielkraut, I always find you very enlightening about the contradictions of progressives who only see the problems that suit them and not the real issues of the time. Who are, let's remember, immigrants, Muslims, rappers, human rights and television. “What I like about you is that you see the present. Chanting that it was better before.
The next evening, Sunday, the 20 hours of France 2 confirms to me the decay of the country, of which its forces of order are the first victims. After having mentioned the knife attack on a municipal police officer from La Chapelle-sur-Erdre, Thomas Sotto relays the “concern among many other municipal police officers in the country. They have the feeling of having become targets in their turn”. If it's a feeling, it's true. “Immersion in the Alpes-Maritimes. “A very judicious choice on the part of France 2: the Alpes-Maritimes is precisely the department where Christian Estrosi recently organized a demonstration of municipal police officers to protest against the Constitutional Council and its decision to censor certain provisions of the Security law. overall. There is no doubt that the witnesses questioned by the JT will demand the dissolution of this disastrous institution.
“During each patrol, recounts a reporter, Patrick cannot help but think of the recent attacks against municipal police officers. “Hundreds of attacks, no doubt, even if an article in Le Monde recalls that the police die twice less on mission than forty years ago. “We are easily a target for anyone who is unbalanced or otherwise,” confirms Patrick. “How can local police protect themselves from such an attack? Asks the journalist. In Vallauris, the thirty-nine municipal police officers are equipped with a semi-automatic weapon and since January, a taser. “It seems light to me. Why not equip them with combat helicopters? In addition, Vallauris being a coastal town, equipping nuclear attack submarines seems appropriate. “When we get into a fight, says Patrick, we prefer to be armed to preserve our integrity. “And amputate that of our citizens.
The journalist sums up the credo of the municipal police: “Equip yourself constantly more to protect yourself better”, that is the secret of a peaceful climate. “In La Trinité, in the Alpes-Maritimes, the twelve municipal police officers are all equipped with this protective vest. A police officer describes “a dorsal plate and a ventral plate in Kevlar… It is very important to feel protected”. Even if the use of light armor would be more protective. “This municipality of ten thousand inhabitants has also adopted a defense dog to assist it during certain patrols. It will never achieve the deterrent effect of a tank. “Equipment that was not necessary until some time ago. “I started almost fifteen years ago, testifies a policeman, knife attacks, we were less sensitive to it. However, it is with weapons of war that we relieve the sensitivity of the police. The journalist concludes: “Faced with the increase in risks…” Formally established by the absence of a source. “… La Trinité like Vallauris respond in the same way, they want to hire new police officers. Responsible for protecting the police.
Thomas Sotto reappears on set. “To the long list of current barbarian events…” Remember that, traditionally, barbarians are foreigners. “… we must add this teenager beaten with a hammer on Friday in front of a high school in Essonne. Surely by a foreigner or a descendant of a foreigner because France has no more to do with the culture of rape than with the culture of the hammer. Then the presenter continues: "We talk to you a lot at the moment about these young people who are drifting, of these bands which are slipping, of these neighborhoods which may seem out of control..." As Marine Le Pen says, "the country is out of control" . However, France 2 still has some effort to make to reach the level of the debates of ideas proposed by CNews.
