Crimson > Le Pen accuses leading French Presidential candidate Sarkozy of being neo-con/Zionist stooge. Expect the worst and you won't be disappointed -- as with Angela Merkel, who is exactly that.

Re: April 18, 2007 -- Far right wing French National Front presidential candidate Jean-Marie Le Pen has attacked former Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, the conservative UMP presidential candidate who has based his campaign on anti-Muslim xenophobia, for not being truly French. Le Pen's references to Sarkozy's "Frenchness" is a reference to the former Interior Minister's Hungarian and Greek roots. Le Pen has also questioned Sarkozy's ties to the Americans, neo-cons, and Israelis. Le Pen directed the following barb at Sarkozy, "The French blood that you despise, has been shed a lot to defend freedom and the independence of France." Le Pen also referred to his UMP opponent as "the American Sarkozy" Le Pen also asked Sarkozy, "If the United States or Israel choose the path of war, will you bring France on their sides in a conflict against Iran?" Other French political quarters have called Sarkozy the "French Bush." Actually, the problem lies more with Sarkozy's crypto-Jewishness.... For all his recent pledges of Catholicism, Sarkozy is a French Jew whose (grand)parents immigrated from (Greece)Hungary... Hence his deep and emotional ties to the French Jewry and Israel. I guess that's also why Sarkozy is favorite among French Jews --even those who used to be out-and-out leftist/Socialist. From Alain Minc (non-executive supervisor at Le Monde, the #1 French daily) to pop singer Enrico Macias, 90% of French Jewry supports presidential hopeful Nicolas Sarkozy. Even former Minister Simone Weil, who spent her whole lifetime as a UDF (centre-rightist party) leader, jumped ship, blurting out that "François Bayrou is the WORST of them all!" Indeed, of all candidates, centre-rightist Bayrou is the only one NOT in the grip of Zionist lobbies.... Sarkozy is working hard to revamp his terrible image with ghetto youths, especially immigrants. Accordingly, he's hired several nonwhite celebrities to appeal to them: pop music stars Doc Gyneco and Faudel, soccer star Basile Boli, etc. Who'll remember that, when Interior Minister, Sarkozy appointed Arno Klarsfeld as his personal immigration consultant? Klarsfeld has acquired the Israeli citizenship in 2004 following his belated enrollment with the IDF... Somehow, his appointment could be likened to President Bush appointing (former KKK leader) David Duke to the African Desk of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (considering that most of French immigrants/illegals come from Muslim countries): Klarsfeld is a Zionist and a close collaborator of Gaullist Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy. In 2005, the Chirac government attempted to introduce a new law obliging teachers to teach the “positive” role of French colonialism in schools, but was forced to retreat by popular opposition. Sarkozy engaged Klarsfeld to analyse and report on “negative attitudes” towards colonial history. Klarsfeld argued that a distinction had to be made between colonial regimes that carried out massacres and repression, and those that invested in infrastructure, public health and transport. On this score, despite its record in countries such as Vietnam and Algeria, he gave the French state a clean bill of health. In his role as “immigration mediator” for Sarkozy, Klarsfeld has the job of deciding which undocumented immigrants can remain. Of the 30,000 undocumented immigrants with children at school in France who had applied for a special dispensation to stay in France, Klarsfeld participated in the rejection of more than 23,000 applications.
