09:18 | | This is present-day France! And we’re going back, you see, |
09:22 | | back to the two words of François Hollande: “the partition” |
09:26 | | He’s right, François. Yes. You laugh, but he’s right. |
09:30 | | He’s lucid. The problem is that he is powerless. But he is lucid. |
09:34 | | You know that’s what it is: the great modern tragedy. |
09:38 | | It’s not the stupidity of the great modern tragedy. It’s the lack of will, |
09:42 | | the lack of, of… The inability to act. |
09:46 | | And you therefore have |
09:50 | | INVASION, COLONIZATION and CONFLAGRATION. |
09:55 | | The attacks, they happen like that, you’re under the impression that it |
09:59 | | falls from the sky. I’ll explain. I listened to a — |
10:03 | | on the radio, I don’t know if you heard that, the commercial for |
10:07 | | “de-radicalization”. You have to die of laughter! |
10:11 | | You have to die of laughter. You’re under the impression |
10:15 | | that [the jihadi] is a kid who believes in |
10:19 | | whatever, all the conspiracy theories, a poor, lost kid, |
10:23 | | and the parents are distraught. They f***ing take us for imbeciles! |
10:27 | | The word “Islam” isn’t mentioned a single time, obviously. |
10:31 | | It’s comical, in fact. They are rather funny. They invent concepts. |
10:35 | | “Radicalization”. Radicalization of what? Where? |
10:39 | | Where is it coming from? We don’t know. It fell from the sky, like that. |
10:43 | | It’s radicalization. So of course you have understood that |
10:47 | | the conflagration is born of the invasion and the colonization. |
10:51 | | Of course all those young people have to do is |
10:56 | | to read the Quran. They know what they have to do. |
11:00 | | The jihad is part of the Quranic instructions. |
11:04 | | And it was NEVER questioned by anybody. Not even |
11:08 | | most tolerant the most rational Muslim philosophers — |
11:12 | | such as Averroes! Even Averroes — who is quoted to us all the time — |
11:16 | | he defends the idea of jihad. |
11:20 | | Even the Sufis, you know that Muslim sect |
11:24 | | That is much more spiritualist, much less |
11:28 | | ritualistic than the others, doesn’t question the jihad. |
11:32 | | The jihad is an instruction from God. |
11:36 | | And like all the Quranic instructions, they are |
11:40 | | divine instructions, which have been given directly by God, |
11:44 | | and they didn’t pass through humans — unlike the Gospels or the Torah — |
11:48 | | and they [therefore] cannot be debated, unlike the Christian |
11:53 | | theology of the Talmud. Incidentally, Tariq Ramadan recognizes it himself: there is no |
11:57 | | “Islamic theology”. And for good reason: since it came directly [from God] and it has to be applied |
12:01 | | in a strict way. Therefore those young people are in no way |
12:05 | | “guilty” — as it’s being suggested — they are absolutely not imbeciles, |
12:09 | | [they aren’t “guilty”] of not knowing their own religion. On the contrary! |
12:13 | | They have a theological-political project called “Islam”. |
12:17 | | Voilà, that’s what it is: the terrorist attacks, |
12:21 | | it’s that: those people who — we are under impression — |
12:25 | | arrive just like that in Nice, or I read that |
12:29 | | he had a fight with his wife; they were in the middle of a divorce so he killed a hundred people. |
12:33 | | Jaw drop. If everybody |
12:37 | | who is getting divorced were to take a truck onto the Promenade des Anglais |
12:41 | | and kill eighty people, wow, that |
12:46 | | would be something, things would go to pot; it would be good for social security, |
12:50 | | but, well, other than that… They are screwing with us. |
12:54 | | They are telling us nonsense. Yes. |
12:58 | | So, you absolutely need to understand that there’s a logic, |
13:02 | | a civilizational, political and economic logic, |
13:06 | | that this situation that we are experiencing and will continue |
13:10 | | to experience didn’t fall from sky. Only voilà, today there are European peoples |
13:18 | | who have become conscious of this great danger. |
13:22 | | You know, usually in history it is the elites who guide their peoples. |
13:26 | | Here, however, we have the elites who switched to doing something else, |
13:30 | | who don’t want to guide their peoples any more, who don’t want to know them any longer, |
13:34 | | who are sort of in a their own world. |
13:38 | | You know, a great American sociologist, Christopher Lasch, |
13:42 | | has predicted that since the ’70s-’80s. He called it “the Revolt of the Elites”, |
13:47 | | which shows that there are very lucid people out there. And who can see what’s coming. |
13:51 | | So voilà: we are experiencing the Revolt of the Elites, and today |
13:55 | | the peoples are revolting against this Revolt of the Elites. |
13:59 | | There’s a terrible confrontation between the peoples |
14:03 | | and their elites, between the peoples and another people, brought in by the elites, |
14:07 | | who became mixed with those elites; you have certainly seen it. |
14:11 | | It’s very interesting today, I recommend that at every election you have a look |
14:15 | | at the social relations of the votes. |
14:19 | | It’s always the same. You always have the same |
14:23 | | social groups: you have invariably on one side |
14:27 | | the CSP+ [managers, and highly trained professionals], the children of immigration, the women |
14:31 | | from large cities, and then you have on the other side |
14:35 | | the popular class in the small towns, in rural America, |
14:39 | | in dilapidated English towns; you see, it’s always the same. |
14:44 | | Always. In reality you have a confrontation between two peoples. |
14:48 | | For now it’s only an electoral [confrontation]. |
14:52 | | That’s all I have to say about that. |
