But it is a story that has played out many, many times before, and likely will many more times before people, after who knows what calamities, finally cast off the ridiculous fantasies of this Age of Absurdity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2026/07/05/sudanese-migrant-arrested-after-three-people-stabbed-in-france/' target='_blank'&gt;Breitbart&lt;/a&gt; reported Sunday that “a Sudanese migrant was shot and then arrested by police after allegedly going on a stabbing spree in the French city of Clermont-Ferrand on Sunday, leaving at least three people wounded.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It seems that this grateful refugee, who is 34 years old, “is alleged to have stabbed a neighbour at around 2:30 pm local time, before going on to attack other pedestrians. When police arrived on the scene, the man reportedly ‘charged at a police officer with his knife.’”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The charge, however, was not successful: “After seeing his colleague come under attack, a fellow officer on the scene shot the alleged knifeman, first in the arm, and then in the abdomen and side as the attacker continued to come towards him.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This Sudanese migrant’s behavior is entirely in accord with the repeated calls from the Islamic State and al-Qaeda for individual Muslims to mount “lone wolf” attacks against innocent civilians in the West. The Islamic State  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/2014/09/islamic-state-we-will-conquer-your-rome-break-your-crosses-and-enslave-your-women-by-the-permission-of-allah' target='_blank'&gt;issued&lt;/a&gt; this call back in Sept. 2014:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So this fellow attacked several of the “spiteful and filthy French” with a knife. He didn’t manage to “slaughter” any of them, but that was not for want of trying. Now, it may be a total coincidence that this Sudanese migrant was acting in full accord with jihadi exhortations to attack random civilians. The French authorities, in fact, are certain of it: “The prosecutor claimed that ‘at this stage, no evidence suggests the terrorist nature of the facts.’”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is more.

Pakistani police  &lt;a href='https://www.thehindu.com/news/international/pakistan-police-rescue-french-woman-5-children-after-decade-of-alleged-captivity/article71143244.ece' target='_blank'&gt;rescued&lt;/a&gt; 54-year-old  Sylvie Yasmina and her five children from a mud-brick house in Bara, in  Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The rescue has  exposed years of alleged physical abuse, psychological torture, and  isolation, while reigniting concerns about foreign women trapped in  abusive marriages with Muslim men who take them to Islamic countries.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The rescue operation began when one of Yasmina’s sons slipped out of  the family home and reached a nearby police station. He told officers  that his mother and siblings had spent years confined inside the house  and subjected to abuse. Police raided the residence and found Yasmina  and the remaining children living in what is described as an “extremely  dilapidated” room under distressing conditions, even by Pakistani  standards.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Officers arrested Yasmina’s husband, Ahmad Khan, shortly after the  raid under charges of physically and mentally abusing his wife and  children while effectively imprisoning them inside the family home.  District Police Chief Waqar Ahmad said investigators have launched  criminal proceedings, and are examining the full extent of the alleged  offenses.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In her statement to police, Yasmina described years of relentless  violence and intimidation. She alleged that her husband exercised  complete control over the household, prevented family members from  leaving freely or interacting with others, and subjected them to almost  daily abuse. She told investigators that the ordeal destroyed both her  future and the future of her children.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Kalam_Swat_valley_Khyber_Pakhtunkhwa.jpg' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Kalam_Swat_valley_Khyber_Pakhtunkhwa-300x174.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kalam, Swat valley, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Police also documented the family’s harsh living conditions. Officers  found Yasmina and the children crowded into a deteriorating room with  few basic amenities. Several family members bore visible bruises and  injuries, while Yasmina had injuries on her face when officers arrived.  Investigators said the physical condition of the victims and the house  corroborated allegations of prolonged abuse and neglect.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; According to investigators, Yasmina married Ahmad Khan in Australia  in 2003, where the couple lived for several years before moving to  Pakistan in 2014. Yasmina alleged that she gradually lost her freedom  after the relocation and became trapped in an abusive environment from  which she could not escape.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The children’s circumstances make the case even more disturbing. The  two eldest children reportedly stopped attending school after the family  relocated to Pakistan, while the three younger children, all born  there, never received any formal education. They grew up entirely  isolated from society, deprived of schooling, social interaction, and a  normal childhood.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Following the rescue, officials transferred Yasmina and her children  to a women’s protection facility in Peshawar, where they remain under  official protection. Yasmina has expressed her desire to return to  France, and Pakistani authorities have begun working with French  officials and the French Embassy to facilitate the family’s  repatriation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The case has drawn strong reactions from human rights groups. Shabina  Ayaz, director of Pakistan’s Aurat Foundation, condemned the alleged  abuse and urged Pakistani and French authorities to provide long-term  protection and rehabilitation for Yasmina and her children. Rights  advocates say domestic violence remains a serious challenge in Pakistan,  where many victims never report abuse because of social stigma, fear of  retaliation, and limited access to legal remedies.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; But Yasmina’s captivity is far from an isolated case. Over the past  several decades, women from Western and other non-Islamic countries have  stated that after marrying Muslim men and relocating to their husbands’  home countries, they became trapped in abusive relationships, lost  control of their passports, faced restrictive custody laws, endured  social isolation, or found themselves unable to leave because of threats  and intimidation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Among the best-known cases is that of Betty Mahmoody, an American woman and author of &lt;i&gt;Not Without My Daughter,&lt;/i&gt;  who traveled to Iran with her Iranian husband, Sayyed Bozorg Mahmoody,  in 1984. Her husband then confiscated their travel documents, refused to  let her and their daughter return to the United States, and subjected  her to abuse and forced Islamic practices on her and hr daughter. After  18 months, Betty and her daughter escaped through Turkey.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; India has witnessed several cross-border disputes of this kind. In 2017, Uzma Ahmed alleged that a Pakistani man, Tahir Ali,  &lt;a href='https://www.thehindu.com/news/international/indian-woman-says-she-was-forced-into-marriage-in-pakistan/article18410054.ece' target='_blank'&gt;forced &lt;/a&gt;her  to marry him at gunpoint after she traveled to Pakistan. She eventually  escaped to the Indian High Commission in Islamabad, and returned to  India following an order from the Islamabad High Court.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Another widely known case involved Indian author Sushmita Banerjee,  who married Afghan businessman Jaanbaz Khan and chronicled her  experiences under Taliban rule in her memoir &lt;i&gt;Kabuliwala’s Bengali Wife&lt;/i&gt;. In 2013, armed militants  &lt;a href='https://time.com/archive/7149361/fears-stoked-for-future-of-women-in-afghanistan-after-indian-author-killed/' target='_blank'&gt;abducted &lt;/a&gt;her  from her home and shot her multiple times, leaving her bullet-riddled  body outside a madrasa. Afghan authorities blamed militants for the  killing, while a Taliban splinter group later claimed responsibility.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Germany has also recorded similar allegations. In 2023, Hadia Sher  Ali, a German woman of Pakistani origin, claimed that her husband lured  her to Pakistan under false pretenses, confiscated her passport, and  prevented her from returning to Germany until diplomatic intervention  helped secure her release.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Authorities in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia have also  handled numerous consular cases involving women stranded in Islamic  countries after marriages broke down. Almost all of these victims  reported passport confiscation, domestic abuse, child custody disputes,  or legal barriers that prevented them from leaving countries such as  Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan with their children. British authorities  have also dealt with numerous such cases. The UK’s Forced Marriage Unit  (FMU) provides consular assistance to British nationals trapped in  forced marriages overseas.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The case of Sylvie Yasmina should serve as a warning to women  considering marriage with men from Islamic countries. Muslim men have  successfully targeted Western women who possess little understanding of  Islam, their orthodox culture, and a way of life that differs sharply  from the modern Western world, or whom pro-Islam groups in the West have  misled, presenting a false and flattering picture of Islam while  downplaying these realities.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35567174</link><pubDate>7/6/2026 12:43:46 AM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Maple MAGA ] Mother of Louis, a French Boy Whom Muslims Murdered, Calls This ‘a Time for War’...</title><author>Maple MAGA </author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/2026/07/mother-of-louis-a-french-boy-whom-muslims-murdered-calls-this-a-time-for-war' target='_blank'&gt;Mother of Louis, a French Boy Whom Muslims Murdered, Calls This ‘a Time for War’&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Jul 5, 2026 2:00 pm &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/author/laszlo' target='_blank'&gt;Hugh Fitzgerald&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/2026/07/mother-of-louis-a-french-boy-whom-muslims-murdered-calls-this-a-time-for-war#comments' target='_blank'&gt;10 Comments&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;How  long must French people allow the Muslims in their midst to rob, rape,  and murder them? The mother of one of those just murdered calls this a  “time for war,” and is organizing a protest in Narbonne against this  insupportable state of affairs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Louis was a 17-year-old French boy from a modest and difficult  background who became a target of five Muslim teenagers. In their first  encounter with Louis, they knocked him unconscious. He was, after all,  an Infidel, so he had it coming. A week later, the same five Muslims, in  ages from 16 to 19, lured Louis to an empty building site, where they  beat him nearly to death — he would never regain consciousness —  laughing all the while and taking videos of themselves with their  victim, drenched in his own blood. He never recovered, was put into an  induced coma, and died in a hospital three days later. Now his mother  has called for the French to mount a severe response, proclaiming that  “this is a time for war.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Louis-Ni-Oubli-Ni-Pardon.jpg' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Louis-Ni-Oubli-Ni-Pardon-300x224.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; More on the sorrow and the rage of Louis’ family, and of many others,  too, in France who will come out to share both, can be found here:  “France: Mother of 17-year-old murder victim Louis calls for ‘war,’  plans White March on July 5 after in Narbonne,”  &lt;a href='https://rmx.news/article/france-mother-of-17-year-old-murder-victim-louis-calls-for-war-plans-white-march-on-july-5-after-in-narbonne/' target='_blank'&gt;Remix News&lt;/a&gt;, July 3, 2026:&lt;blockquote&gt; A “white march” is planned for Sunday,  July 5, in honor of 17-year-old Louis, who was beaten to death by at  least five multicultural thugs in the French city of Narbonne. Louis’  mother said this was no time for mourning, “but a time for war.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; His aunt has also spoken to the media, calling for justice while  describing the horror of Louis’ death and the indifference of the  perpetrators, who filmed themselves laughing as he died.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The march, which is organized by the  family, will be held at 11:00 a.m. at the Narbonne City Hall square and  proceeds to the construction site where Louis was beaten to death. The  mother is expected to speak there in honor of Louis.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; She has already expressed her rage at the death of her son, telling  &lt;a href='https://www.lejdd.fr/Societe/je-veux-que-les-lois-soient-revues-le-combat-de-la-mere-de-louis-lynche-a-narbonne-177537' target='_blank'&gt;Le Journal du Dimanche&lt;/a&gt;, “This is not the time for mourning, it is the time for war.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; She has called for the perpetrators to be  tried as adults, revisions to juvenile justice laws, and emphasized that  Louis should be the last victim. She has described repeated warnings to  social services about risks to her son. He had been placed in an ASE  foster home at the family’s request and had ADHD and other challenges.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The march has been described as a  “derni&amp;#232;re marche” (last march) or “marche blanche” (white/silent  vigil-style march) in homage to Louis, with the explicit goal that he be  the last such victim. The family has invited parents from across  France, residents, and politicians from all political spectrums to  attend….&lt;/blockquote&gt; This is to be a silent march that the mother and aunt of the murdered  Louis are organizing. There will be no shouting unless it comes from  Muslim thugs who may attempt, in one final act of barbarism, to destroy  the procession and violate the silence of monumental grief.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;Investigators are still trying to determine what the  motive was behind the attack but initial reports expect it was a  targeted ambush attack based on revenge.&lt;/blockquote&gt; What conceivable revenge? Did he attack one of the five? Most  implausible. By all accounts, he was a sweet-tempered boy. The reason  some officials may be mentioning revenge as a possible motive for his  murder is because they do not dare to tell the French public the truth.  To wit: There was only one reason for those five Muslims to beat Louis  to death. He was an Infidel, one of “the most vile of created beings.”  They needed no other reason, just as the Nazis needed no reason to  murder Jews.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; How many French people will heed Louis mother’s declaration that  “this is a time for war” — a war of French self-defense against the  Muslims who have already murdered so many people in France? Think only  of Ilan Halimi, Sarah Halimi, Mireille Knoll, Rabbi Jonathan Sandler,  Samuel Paty, Dominique Bernard, the hundreds whom Muslim terrorists  killed at the Bataclan night club and on the Promenade des Anglais in  Nice, and now, a quiet boy named Louis.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The Muslim campaign against the Infidels began in the seventh  century, and has gone on, uninterruptedly, somewhere in the world ever  since. Louis is the latest victim. Let’s hope for a good turnout in  Narbonne on July 5, not of hundreds, but of thousands, and hope, too,  that political figures show up — Marine Le Pen, Jordan Bardella, Bruno  Retailleau, Eric Zemmour are some who come to mind — to make Louis’  death the opening salvo in what his mother rightly called “a time for  war.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35567171</link><pubDate>7/6/2026 12:42:27 AM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Maple MAGA ] France: Prosecutors Claim Motive ‘Remains Undetermined’ in Muslim Gang’s Fatal B...</title><author>Maple MAGA </author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/2026/07/france-prosecutors-claim-motive-remains-undetermined-in-muslim-gangs-fatal-beating-of-french-boy' target='_blank'&gt;France: Prosecutors Claim Motive ‘Remains Undetermined’ in Muslim Gang’s Fatal Beating of French Boy &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jul 5, 2026 10:00 am &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/author/laszlo' target='_blank'&gt;Hugh Fitzgerald&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/2026/07/france-prosecutors-claim-motive-remains-undetermined-in-muslim-gangs-fatal-beating-of-french-boy#comments' target='_blank'&gt;9 Comments&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In  France, Muslim gangs prey on the non-Muslims among whom they now live:  “French Teen Left to Die after Brutal Beating Amid Debate over Suspects’  Origins,” by Joakim Scheffer,  &lt;a href='https://www.thejc.com/opinion/how-beirut-signed-a-deal-legitimising-israeli-military-presence-on-lebanese-soil-oex6u63o' target='_blank'&gt;Hungarian Conservative&lt;/a&gt;, June 27, 2026:&lt;blockquote&gt;French outlet &lt;i&gt;Fronti&amp;#232;res&lt;/i&gt; raised the possibility of a racial motive and reported that additional footage showed  &lt;a href='https://x.com/Frontieresmedia/status/2070172918189867385?' target='_blank'&gt;suspects returning to the site&lt;/a&gt; to  film themselves beside Louis as he lay unconscious and bleeding.  Prosecutors have said that the evidence available to them does not  indicate a racial motive. The motive for the fatal ambush remains  undetermined.&lt;/blockquote&gt; Oh, for god’s sake. The “motive remains undetermined”? No, it does  not. It’s obvious. Five Muslims lure a white French boy to a building  site where they proceed, while laughing all the while, to beat him  nearly to death (and he ultimately did die in hospital from the  beating). They mention he’s an “a**hole,” as are other “people like him”  — that is, other French boys whom these Muslims hate because they are  white by race, French by nationality, and non-Muslim by religion. The  French police are fearful of admitting to any of that, lest they be  accused of being “racists” and “Islamophobes” (just like the British  police who did not investigate Pakistani grooming gangs for several  years, long after thousands of white English girls had had their lives  ruined by the mass gang rapes they endured).&lt;blockquote&gt;Establishing the suspects’ precise backgrounds is  complicated by France’s approach to identity data. Ethnicity and  religion are generally absent from routine administrative and criminal  records and are treated as sensitive information. Official research may  nevertheless measure immigration and immigrant descent through  birthplace, nationality at birth, and parents’ countries of birth.&lt;/blockquote&gt; The French government deliberately does not collect data on the  ethnic and religious identity of criminals, for fear such information  might play into the hands of “right-wing politicians,” but it is easy to  figure out both of them based on their names, their birthplaces and  those of their parents. If your name is Mohammed, Khaled, or Driss, and  you were born in Morocco or Algeria, or your parents were, we know your  religion. Islam, and your ethnicity, Arab or Berber.&lt;blockquote&gt;The debate has unfolded against broader concerns over  immigration and crime, particularly juvenile crime. Foreign nationals  represented around 8 per cent of France’s population in 2024 but  accounted for 18 per cent of homicide suspects,  &lt;a href='https://questions.assemblee-nationale.fr/q17/17-5430QE.htm' target='_blank'&gt;20 per cent of intentional-assault suspects&lt;/a&gt;,  13 per cent of sexual-violence suspects, 22 per cent of armed-robbery  suspects, and 38 per cent of residential-burglary suspects. These  figures do not classify French citizens of immigrant descent as  foreigners.&lt;/blockquote&gt; If the French were to count in their crime calculations those of  Muslim immigrant descent who are French citizens, the percentage of  crimes that Muslims committed would skyrocket.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Jordan_Bardella.jpg' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Jordan_Bardella-300x174.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jordan Bardella, European Parliament from EU, Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 17-year-old Louis was killed because he was French. He was killed  because he was white. He was killed because he was not a Muslim. And  that was enough for his Muslim killers, laughing like hyenas as they  beat him into a coma — he finally died in a hospital — and filmed the  scene for the future delectation of themselves and their friends. This  is only the latest Muslim atrocity in France today. There have been so  many victims: Ilan Halimi, Mireille Knoll, Sarah Halimi, Rabbi Jonathan  Sandler and his sons Aryeh (6) and Gabriel (3), 8-year-old Miriam  Monsonego in Toulouse, France, four Jewish shoppers and staff at the  Hyper Cacher supermarket, the 91 people who were killed and over 200  were wounded at the Bataclan nightclub in 2015, the 86 people that a  Muslim driving a truck mowed down in Nice on Bastille Day 2016, and so  very many more. For the French, waking up to the news of the latest  horror, the latest victim that Muslims beat to death, the installation  of anti-Islam Jordan Bardella as prime minister can’t come fast enough.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The latest figures show that more than 7 out of 10 French people  believe that crime is out of control. And everyone knows that Muslims,  both migrants and the children of migrants, caused this crime wave.  Muslims make up 10% of the population of France, but 70% of the inmates  in French prisons. And that is why the National Rally Party, which  Jordan Bardella now heads, has skyrocketed to the top spot in the polls.  The National Rally promises to call a halt to Muslim migrants from  entering the country, to cut welfare benefits and to impose work  requirements on those receiving them, to end family unification  programs, and to deport those migrants, overwhelmingly Muslim, who are  convicted of crimes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; And that is why Bardella has a chance to become the next president of  France, for he has made clear that his highest priority is to halt  Muslim immigration, and to discourage those already in France from  remaining, by imposing a work requirement on welfare recipients, by  deporting migrants convicted of crimes back to their countries of  origin, and providing financial inducements to those migrants who agree  to self-deport. Those measures should go a long way toward reducing  absolute Muslim numbers and thus decreasing the number of crimes, and  the alarm over “crime that is out of control” should also diminish.&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35567170</link><pubDate>7/6/2026 12:41:28 AM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Maple MAGA ]  In France, Five Muslim Teens Beat a French Boy to the Point of Death   Jul 4, 2...</title><author>Maple MAGA </author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/2026/07/in-france-five-muslim-teens-beat-a-french-boy-to-the-point-of-death' target='_blank'&gt; In France, Five Muslim Teens Beat a French Boy to the Point of Death &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jul 4, 2026 4:00 pm &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/author/laszlo' target='_blank'&gt;Hugh Fitzgerald&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/2026/07/in-france-five-muslim-teens-beat-a-french-boy-to-the-point-of-death#comments' target='_blank'&gt;1 Comment&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just  one more example of many such cases in Europe, where Muslim gangs prey  on the non-Muslims among whom they now live, can be found here: “French  Teen Left to Die after Brutal Beating Amid Debate over Suspects’  Origins,” by Joakim Scheffer,  &lt;a href='https://www.thejc.com/opinion/how-beirut-signed-a-deal-legitimising-israeli-military-presence-on-lebanese-soil-oex6u63o' target='_blank'&gt;Hungarian Conservative&lt;/a&gt;, June 27, 2026:&lt;blockquote&gt; 17-year-old  French boy named Louis died after five youths lured him into a  premeditated ambush at a construction site in Narbonne, southern France,  and subjected him to a  &lt;a href='https://www.leparisien.fr/faits-divers/je-ne-sais-pas-a-quel-moment-je-pourrai-retrouver-le-sommeil-la-tante-de-louis-lynche-a-narbonne-se-confie-26-06-2026-Q7C4OEOGQBANZGRTL65J7ZGJOI.php' target='_blank'&gt;brutal beating of extreme cruelty&lt;/a&gt;, which they filmed and circulated online.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The attackers repeatedly punched and  kicked Louis as he lay defenceless on the concrete floor, with footage  appearing to show one suspect stamping on his head and another striking  his face several times. He was abandoned unconscious overnight and found  the following morning with severe head and facial injuries, bleeding  from his nose and ears. Louis died in hospital on 23 June after spending  three days in an induced coma.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Five suspects aged between 17 and 19—three  minors and two adults—were identified partly through the footage and  placed in pre-trial detention. Prosecutors said the evidence suggested  Louis had deliberately been lured to the unfinished building and that  the ambush had been planned in advance.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The case has since triggered fierce  controversy over how French media have described the suspects’ origins.  Mainstream reports have generally referred to them as ‘young people’,  disclosed only their first names and surname initials, or described them  as French nationals and local youths without discussing their  backgrounds in greater detail.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Reports on social media and by alternative  news outlets have suggested that the suspects are of immigrant origin,  possibly French-born second- or third-generation descendants of  immigrants, with some reports specifically alleging Algerian, Tunisian,  Spanish, and Italian backgrounds. The news outlet &lt;i&gt;Visegr&amp;#225;d 24&lt;/i&gt; circulated a photograph said to show one of the suspects wearing a  &lt;a href='https://x.com/visegrad24/status/2070553527156461981' target='_blank'&gt;football shirt with a Palestinian flag.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/french-louis-beaten-to-death-murder-youth-e1782529749293.png' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/french-louis-beaten-to-death-murder-youth-e1782529749293-300x174.png'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Louis, X screenshot, The Hungarian Conservative &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A “Palestinian flag” certainly suggests that the wearer was a Muslim  Arab. But there are also their social media posts, giving more evidence  of their Muslim identities. And the fact that one of them said the word  “Wallah,” that means “I swear to Allah” in Arabic, further suggests that  both he, and those he was speaking to, are Arabs, and Muslims.&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; Other reports focused on material said to have been taken from the suspects’ social media accounts. &lt;i&gt;RMX News&lt;/i&gt; reported that videos showed two of them  &lt;a href='https://x.com/RMXnews/status/2070428271850742201' target='_blank'&gt;handling firearms&lt;/a&gt;,  dealing or consuming drugs, inhaling nitrous oxide, and drinking  spirits. Separate footage was also said to show three members of the  group filming themselves  &lt;a href='https://x.com/ImMeme0/status/2070201078453293137' target='_blank'&gt;aboard a train after the attack&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The controversy intensified after another  video emerged showing an earlier assault on Louis. In the footage, a  speaker says: ‘Wallah, look at little a**holes like him. One slap and we  knocked him out.’ Some interpreted the reference to people ‘like him’  as possibly referring to white French youths, with some describing the  fatal attack as an anti-white killing or using the term ‘blancocide’.&lt;/blockquote&gt; So the same gang had assaulted him before, but not nearly as  murderously as the second time. His Muslim assailants had so much fun  kicking and punching Louis the first time that they decided to do it  again. But this time, they were not going to stop until he lay dying on  the floor. In the footage of the video they made, a speaker says:  “Wallah, look at little a**holes like him. One slap and we knocked him  out.” Some interpreted the reference to people “like him” as referring  to white French youths, with some describing the fatal attack as an  anti-white killing or using the term “blancocide.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Of course, it was both racial and religious hatred that motivated  those five Muslims to murder this inoffensive young boy. He was a white  French boy, and an Infidel to boot, one of those whom the Qur’an  describes as “the most vile of created beings.” Call the killing  “blancocide” or “francocide” or “kaffirocide” — all three fit the case.  It is a subset of migrants, those who are Muslim, who do not integrate  into French society. They can’t and they won’t, for they know that they,  as Muslims, are “the best of peoples,” while the French among whom they  now live are, as non-Muslims, the “most vile of created beings.” It  would make no sense for the Muslims to assimilate into a society that  Infidels created, with Infidel values that violate those of Islam,  including democracy, free speech, freedom of religion including the  freedom to convert or to have no religion, equality of the sexes, and  the legal equality among religions, races, and ethnicities. The contempt  that the newcomers have for French society and the French people is  clear from the fate of young Louis.&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35566014</link><pubDate>7/4/2026 4:39:57 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Maple MAGA ] French Leftist Crows About How the French Are Being Replaced Jul 3, 2026 6:00 am...</title><author>Maple MAGA </author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/2026/07/french-leftist-crows-about-how-the-french-are-being-replaced' target='_blank'&gt;French Leftist Crows About How the French Are Being Replaced Jul 3, 2026 6:00 am &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/author/samir' target='_blank'&gt;Robert Spencer&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/2026/07/french-leftist-crows-about-how-the-french-are-being-replaced#comments' target='_blank'&gt;5 Comments&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Great Replacement is a ‘conspiracy theory’ no more.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Clemence_Guette_vice_presidente_de_lAssemblee_nationale.jpg' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Clemence_Guette_vice_presidente_de_lAssemblee_nationale-300x174.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Cl&amp;#233;mence Guett&amp;#233; by Claire Jacquin, Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Cl&amp;#233;mence Guett&amp;#233; of the far-left La France Insoumise party is a member  of France’s National Assembly, and she is overjoyed that there are  fewer and fewer French people for her to represent. And so what has been  derided up to now as a “white supremacist conspiracy theory,” and  likely will be again, since there is never any shortage of uninformed  and ignorant people, has proven to be true. In fact, not only has it  proven to be true, but leftists who, as is ever more obvious, are  determined to destroy their host countries, are openly celebrating that  fact.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Breitbart  &lt;a href='https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2026/06/27/you-lost-leftist-french-lawmaker-celebrates-demographic-decline-of-white-population/?trueLinkId=s2b5lB8wb42aFLjHsV0Rp%2FH%2FGh4jhsnO5Chjvtduiiu7ZRXRMePA5eAU8hhzMi947VUWMnNiOs9kYgq1X%2BxRxA%3D%3D&amp;amp;trueLinkTs=1781456746&amp;amp;trueLinkExpiry=43200' target='_blank'&gt;reported&lt;/a&gt; Saturday  that “during a debate in the National Assembly this week on legislation  intended to crack down on fraudulent or arranged marriages,” Guett&amp;#233;  “declared that alleged efforts to preserve the French ethnicity have  failed.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Scarcely able to contain her joy, Guett&amp;#233; taunted her foes in the  National Assembly who have the temerity to want to preserve the French  identity and culture. “You have lost the racist ideological battle,” she  declared. “Today, one in three French people is already linked to  immigration.” And that percentage is only going to increase.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Guett&amp;#233; “accused the populist National Rally party of Marine Le Pen  and the conservative Union of the Right for the Republic (UDR) party of  &amp;#201;ric Ciotti of seeking to protect the ‘so-called native French’  population, which she equated to ‘white French people.’”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; It is because the native French people are indeed white that Guett&amp;#233;  can so freely stigmatize efforts to protect them. If they were black,  and white immigrants from another country were overwhelming them,  threatening to become a majority before too long, and boasting of their  imminent takeover, then the same Guett&amp;#233; would be denouncing it all as a  “racist,” “settler-colonialist” project. But to oppose the suicide of  her own nation would likewise be “racist,” and for Guett&amp;#233; and her  comrades, “racism” is the cardinal sin that she must avoid above all  others.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Guett&amp;#233;, like the rest of us, has likely been raised with the idea  that any attempt to preserve the countries of Western Europe (and North  America) in something like the form in which they’ve always existed is  “racist” on its face. As recently as May 7, 2026, HIAS (the Hebrew  Immigrant Aid Society),  &lt;a href='https://hias.org/news/deep-dive-great-replacement-theory/' target='_blank'&gt;warned&lt;/a&gt; that  “over the last decade, there has been a dangerous rise in lies and  conspiracies about immigrants in the U.S. and around the world. Among  the most pernicious is that there is an ‘invasion’ of immigrants who are  poised to change the demographic nature of the country. This lie, in  combination with other dehumanizing comments that falsely blame  immigrants for economic struggles and crime, is being used to stoke  hatred and fear — with devastating consequences.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Among these alleged lies, HIAS explained, was a “particularly harmful  conspiracy theory,” the Great Replacement Theory, which “alleges a plot  to replace white populations of western countries with non-white  immigrants. Once relegated to the darker corners of the internet, the  Great Replacement Theory entered the mainstream in the late 2010s when  it inspired mass shootings and the 2017 ‘Unite the Right’ protest in  Charlottesville, Virginia. Nine years later, the Great Replacement  Theory is arguably more prevalent than ever in American politics — a  hateful ideology espoused on some of the biggest political stages in the  country.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; None other than the Southern Poverty Law Center turns out to have  &lt;a href='https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2026/04/23/southern-poverty-law-center-indictment-unite-right-rally/89730972007/' target='_blank'&gt;paid for&lt;/a&gt; the  Charlottesville protest, so that it would have some “white  supremacists” to raise funds to combat. And now Cl&amp;#233;mence Guett&amp;#233; is  openly celebrating the victory of what HIAS was calling “a particularly  harmful conspiracy theory” just short of two months ago.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; HIAS and other leftist organizations that warn about the “Great  Replacement Theory” claim that it is inherently antisemitic, as “the  Jews” are supposedly behind the mass influx of migrants. And while  leftist Jews have indeed advocated for and helped foster mass Muslim  migration into Europe, leftist Roman Catholics and leftists of all  manner of persuasions have done so as well. Pope Francis and now Pope  Leo have both been champions of mass migrations, and both tried to  guilt-trip Christians into thinking that support for unlimited, unvetted  migration into Europe was part of their commitment to the Faith.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; To call this the Great Replacement an antisemitic conspiracy theory  is false on every point. It is not a wholly or solely Jewish endeavor.  It is not a conspiracy, but the manifestation of the leftist mind virus.  And it is not a theory, but an increasingly obvious fact. Cl&amp;#233;mence  Guett&amp;#233; may even stop celebrating it long enough to tell you that.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35564888</link><pubDate>7/3/2026 1:01:20 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Tom Clarke] Multicultural French Music Festival Sees Hundreds of Arrests for Stabbings, Sex ...</title><author>Tom Clarke</author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;Multicultural French Music Festival Sees Hundreds of Arrests for Stabbings, Sex Assaults, Date Rape Druggings&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a class='ExternURL' href='https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2026/06/22/multicultural-french-music-festival-sees-hundreds-of-arrests-for-stabbings-sex-assaults-date-rape-druggings/' target='_blank' &gt;breitbart.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35558998</link><pubDate>6/27/2026 5:19:48 AM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Tom Clarke] Paris Bans Alcohol Consumption, Sales Amid Heatwave  Paris police told reporters...</title><author>Tom Clarke</author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;Paris Bans Alcohol Consumption, Sales Amid Heatwave&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Paris police told reporters that alcohol consumption in the streets and other public places as well as takeaway alcohol sales will be banned from Friday amid intense heatwave.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a class='ExternURL' href='https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/paris-bans-alcohol-consumption-sales-amid-heatwave-11688437' target='_blank' &gt;ndtv.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35558997</link><pubDate>6/27/2026 5:18:27 AM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Maple MAGA ] The New European Normal     Afghan Muslim Who Rapes Animals Declares ‘I’m a Perf...</title><author>Maple MAGA </author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;The New European Normal   &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/2026/06/afghan-muslim-who-rapes-animals-declares-im-a-perfectly-normal-person' target='_blank'&gt;Afghan Muslim Who Rapes Animals Declares ‘I’m a Perfectly Normal Person’ &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jun 24, 2026 2:00 pm &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/author/laszlo' target='_blank'&gt;Hugh Fitzgerald&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/2026/06/afghan-muslim-who-rapes-animals-declares-im-a-perfectly-normal-person#comments' target='_blank'&gt;7 Comments&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One  more example of a Muslim migrant demonstrating his unfitness for living  in Europe: an Afghan found love in all the wrong places.

His dark eyes remain fixed on the  interpreter—despite the presiding judge’s reminders to address the  court—as he stands before the Aix-en-Provence tribunal. The 19-year-old,  born in Afghanistan, only becomes animated when answering questions,  doing so briefly and in English. He is appearing in court this Monday on  charges of sexual assault and severe abuse against six animals:  goats—one of which died—and a six-month-old lamb.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The acts were committed repeatedly between February and April against  these animals, which belonged to the “Un moment” sanctuary and  educational farm in Les Pennes-Mirabeau, near Marseille. Cassandra  Sortino, the facility’s owner, remains deeply traumatized by the events.  “We set up this organization to do good, yet the animals were in danger  within our own facility. There is no moral explanation for it,” she  says. “We feel like we failed.” She is defending herself without a  lawyer, seeking in vain an answer to the question: “Why?”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; For her and the volunteers present in the courtroom, the nightmare  began in February. After noticing ligature marks on the legs of some  animals, she decided to file a police report. The animals also showed  vulvar injuries and traces of blood, as confirmed by a veterinarian.  After installing a surveillance camera, Cassandra Sortino repeatedly  spotted a male figure and observed the same signs of abuse. She visited  the police station several times before the defendant was finally  arrested in early April—caught in the act behind a goat. He was wearing  latex gloves, and his trousers were down.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Despite the evidence—his DNA was found on the animals, and his phone  repeatedly pinged cell towers near the farm—Massoud S. completely denies  the allegations. “I don’t know how to explain it,” he replies when  questioned by the judges. Regarding the night of his arrest, he claims  he missed his train to Marseille, where he lives in an asylum-seeker  center in the 3rd arrondissement. “That place was right next to the  station; as far as I was concerned, there was nowhere else to stay for  the night,” he explains. “I wish I could have understood.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The questioning sometimes feels like a dialogue of the deaf, hampered  by the laborious translation into English. Having arrived in France in  November 2025, Massoud S. claims to have lost his family in an airstrike  in Afghanistan during the war. “After recounting my story and the  impact on my mental health, I received treatment,” he recalls,  describing it as “very heavy.” When asked about his strict religious  upbringing, he says he feels “full of shame.”&lt;/blockquote&gt; So he admitted that he had in fact been at the animal farm and  shelter, but only as a place to bed down for the night. As for the  accusation that he raped a half-dozen animals, he flatly denied it, even  though his DNA was found inside the animals: “That’s impossible” he  said.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;During the psychiatric evaluation conducted while he was  in pre-trial detention, the doctor reported no signs of mental disorder  and noted a form of partial acknowledgment of the facts. “They’re making  a huge fuss over it, even though they’re just animals,” he reportedly  said. The defendant explains that the person who committed the act  likely did so to avoid “raping a woman,” reasoning that a goat wouldn’t  recognize him. In court, he struggles to recall these statements, which  were highlighted by the lawyers representing animal rights groups acting  as civil parties. “I’m a normal person,” he insists in his defense.&lt;/blockquote&gt; He denied being guilty of raping the animals, but he also defended  the practice to the psychiatrist examining him: why were people “making a  big deal out of it…it’s just animals.” And he even offered  justification for animal rape: the person who had done this did so, he  claimed, in order to “avoid raping a woman.” Since he was the animal  rapist in question, he ought to know. A Muslim migrant, far from home,  feeling those sexual urges with the fierce urgency of now, could hardly  be blamed if he were to rape a girl or woman, but how thoughtful of him  to spare humans and instead chose to have sexual congress with animals.  And Massoud S. claims: “I am a normal person.” And so he would be  considered, if he were back in Afghanistan, where such animal rapes are  not unheard of. But he is in France, where such things are not “normal”  at all.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Indeed, the only religion whose clerics have solemnly considered sex  with animals, and have carefully set out the “rules” that should govern  such sex, is Islam. It was that most learned of Shi’a theologians,  Ayatollah Khomeini himself, who set out the dating Do’s-and-Don’ts for  Muslims having sex with sheep, cows, camels. Here is what he wrote in  his “Tahrirolvasyleh,” fourth volume, 1990:&lt;blockquote&gt;“A man can have sex with animals such as sheep, cows,  camels and so on [including goats, the chief love interest of Massoud  S.]. However, he should kill the animal after he has his orgasm. He  should not sell the meat to the people in his own village, but selling  the meat to a neighboring village is reasonable.”&lt;/blockquote&gt; That’s good to know, because otherwise a Muslim might commit the  unpardonable faux pas of serving the meat of a camel — or of a cow, or  of a sheep (or a goat) — he has just sodomized to people of his own  village, and that, as Ayatollah Khomeini reminds us, would never do.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Massoud S. insists he is a “perfectly normal person.” And so he is —  in Afghanistan. But in France, he is rightly regarded as a sexual  pervert. One more example, I’m afraid, of how millions of Muslim now in  Europe cannot be expected to integrate into the larger society. And one  more reason to call a halt to Muslim migration, and to deport as many  Muslims as possible — the illegals, and those convicted of crimes, for a  start — back to their countries of origin.&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35556269</link><pubDate>6/24/2026 7:08:47 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Maple MAGA ] France: Woman Faces Prison for Expressing Alarm Over Muslim Sexual Assaults   Ju...</title><author>Maple MAGA </author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/2026/06/france-woman-faces-prison-for-expressing-alarm-over-muslim-sexual-assaults' target='_blank'&gt;France: Woman Faces Prison for Expressing Alarm Over Muslim Sexual Assaults &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jun 23, 2026 2:00 pm &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/author/laszlo' target='_blank'&gt;Hugh Fitzgerald&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/2026/06/france-woman-faces-prison-for-expressing-alarm-over-muslim-sexual-assaults#comments' target='_blank'&gt;4 Comments&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A   26-year-old French woman has dared to claim on television that   “African, Black, and Arab immigrant men” are the main danger to women in   France.

[/X]&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;Her remarks incited an on-screen  uproar, leading  producers to confront d’Escoeuffant off-camera. They  reportedly shouted  that she never would have been invited onto the show  had they known she  would make such a statement.&lt;/blockquote&gt; So much  for free speech in France. All she did — her name suggests an   aristocratic background — is point out a truth that too many people in   France know but are afraid to speak about openly, so scared are they of   being maligned as “racists.”&lt;blockquote&gt;Things further spiralled when  she received a letter  saying she had been summoned to court to be tried  on the charge of  ‘public insult against a person or a group of persons  on account of  their origin, ethnicity, race or religion.’…&lt;/blockquote&gt;  What was the “public insult against a person or group” based on their   “origin ,ethnicity, race or religion”? She was soberly describing what   happened to her, and has happened to other French girls who have endured   sexual assaults from Muslim Arabs and Muslim Black Africans. She chose   to note the prevalence of Muslims among those accused of such crimes,   and offered data supporting her assertion. That did not constitute an   “insult.” It was a fact.&lt;blockquote&gt;The prosecutor, however, argued that  d’Escoeuffant was  portraying herself as a victim and suggested that,  as a social media  activist, she had used the controversy to raise her  profile and generate  income.&lt;/blockquote&gt; This attribution of a  pecuniary motive to Ms d’Escoeuffant is only a  disgusting attempt to  undermine everything she says that might wake  people up to the danger  that Muslim migrants pose to French girls and  women. She adduced her  own experience, she referred to other victims,  and she said what  everyone knows to be true, that North African and  Black African  migrants are responsible for most of the sex crimes in  France.&lt;blockquote&gt;Referring  to the migrant break-in she says she  experienced several years  earlier, the prosecutor argued that  d’Escoeuffant was using a “poor  incident to justify hate speech”, adding  that such remarks had “no  place in our democracy”.’&lt;/blockquote&gt; Why is the break-in at her house,  and the attempt to force her to  perform a sex act a “poor incident to  justify hate speech”? Where is the  “hate speech”? D’Escoeuffant noted  that the person who broke in to her  apartment was a North African, and  from his outward aspect and accent,  she judged him to be a Tunisian.  Did she call for “hating” him, or all  Tunisians, or all Arabs? Didn’t  she, rather, point to his identity as  unsurprising, given that so many  of the rapists in France are Muslim  Arabs from North Africa? Was she  wrong to say “I feel increasingly  fearful” on the streets because of  her own experience, and what she has  learned about the steep rise in  sexual assaults in France, and the about  the identity of those who are  committing them?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; She was only trying to raise the public’s  consciousness of this fact,  so that an informed public discussion about  halting Muslim immigration,  not hysterical and hate-filled, but sober,  based on data compiled by  both government analysts and private  researchers, could take place.  She’s well aware that there is a  powerful effort by both political and  media elites to prevent or stifle  such discussion. Anne-Tha&amp;#239;s du Tertre  d’Escoeuffant is articulate,  well-informed, and fetching, and thus a  triple threat to those who are  determined to shut her up. If that  anti-racist group suing her  prevails, she could even be sentenced to  prison for daring to speak the  truth.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Anne-Tha&amp;#239;s du Tertre d’Escoeuffant, now facing a  possible prison  sentence for her expression of alarm over Muslim sexual  assaults, sounds  like someone to support to the hilt. Perhaps she will  enter the  political lists, if she can persuade Jordan Bardella of the  National  Rally that she is not “far-right” (a scare epithet affixed to  anyone  who, no matter how liberal on other matters, wants to end Muslim   migration). Given how articulate and well-spoken she is, and already  how  well-known, she would be an effective campaigner in the next  election,  an election that may determine the demographic destiny of  France.&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35554880</link><pubDate>6/23/2026 3:21:23 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Maple MAGA ] French Woman Prosecuted for Telling the Truth About Muslim Rapists   Jun 23, 202...</title><author>Maple MAGA </author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/2026/06/french-woman-prosecuted-for-telling-the-truth-about-muslim-rapists' target='_blank'&gt;French Woman Prosecuted for Telling the Truth About Muslim Rapists &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jun 23, 2026 10:00 am &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By   &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/author/laszlo' target='_blank'&gt;Hugh Fitzgerald&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/2026/06/french-woman-prosecuted-for-telling-the-truth-about-muslim-rapists#comments' target='_blank'&gt;1 Comment&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In   France, all the powerful people — state prosecutors, anti-racist   organizations, the mainstream media — have come down hard on a   26-year-old French woman for daring to claim on television, as the   statistics bear her out, that “African, Black, and Arab immigrant men”   are the main danger to women in France.

[/X]&lt;br&gt;    &lt;blockquote&gt; A French hard-right activist is facing  prison time for  saying on live television that ‘African, Black and Arab’  immigrant men  are the ‘main danger to women’ in   &lt;a href='https://www.dailymail.com/news/france/index.html' target='_blank'&gt;France&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  Anne-Tha&amp;#239;s du Tertre d’Escoeuffant, who  uses the pseudonym Tha&amp;#239;s  d’Escufon on social media, was sued by a French  anti-racism  organisation over the remarks and is due to learn the  court’s decision  on Thursday.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The 26-year-old activist’s case received  little  attention in French media, but gained international interest  after  d’Escoeuffant posted a 25-minute video on X about comments she  made  during a BFM TV broadcast discussing the rape of a French woman by a   migrant….&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; She claims that in late 2022, while  returning home  from the gym, a Tunisian migrant followed her into her  apartment  building, entered her flat behind her, locked the door and  kept her  there for around 20 minutes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; At first, she said, the situation  was  ‘very confusing’. The man allegedly claimed he was being pursued by   authorities and repeatedly told her: ‘Please don’t call the police. I   won’t harm you. I just need refuge in your home for 10 minutes.’&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; As time passed, however, d’Escoeuffant said she became increasingly frightened as the man began making comments about her body.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  She said she tried to remain calm because  he had taken her phone and  she felt she had no way of calling for  help. When he eventually  appeared ready to leave, she said he asked:  ‘Can you give me a kiss?’&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  Hoping he would go, d’Escoeuffant said she  agreed to kiss him on the  cheek. But she alleges that he then grabbed  her wrists, forced her onto  a footstool and demanded that she perform a  sexual act on him.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; ‘I begged him not to do it,’ she recalled. ‘I said “I was just nice to you. I did everything you wanted. Please just leave”.’&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The man eventually left, and d’Escoeuffant said she immediately went to the police.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  She claims officers told her that  identifying the suspect would be  difficult because of a large backlog of  6,000 similar cases they were  investigating involving ‘African and  Black migrants’.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; A few  days later, she was invited on  French television to discuss the  incident after people online accused  her of fabricating the story.&lt;/blockquote&gt; Why would anyone want to fabricate such a story, so embarrassing for the teller?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;She  says she broke down in tears during the interview and  was challenged  on her decision to describe the man as a Tunisian  migrant, with  panellists asking why she considered his background  relevant….&lt;/blockquote&gt;  Why was his identity relevant? Because her whole reason for telling   the story was to offer her own experience as an example of what she   knows is a widespread phenomenon — sexual assaults and rapes of French   girls by North African migrants.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;“When panellists  tried to tell her that the problem was  men, she replied: ‘Actually, the  main danger for women in France are  African immigrant and Arab  immigrant men.’&lt;/blockquote&gt; In fact, Muslims make up 10% of the French  population, but an  estimated 70% of the rapists. Why shouldn’t  d’Escoeuffant warn the  public about that enhanced danger from Muslim  migrants? What is wrong  with her saying, correctly, that North African  Arabs and black Africans  (mostly Muslims from the Sahel) are  responsible for “most rapes” in  France? Is the French public to be  shielded from such facts precisely  because they would encourage  anti-immigrant sentiment? Shouldn’t the  French public be properly  informed, and not shielded from information  that might make the people  of France more inclined to call a halt to  Muslim immigration and to  institute a robust policy of deportation of  illegals, as well as of  legal aliens who have been convicted of crimes?&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35554599</link><pubDate>6/23/2026 11:03:13 AM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Thomas M.] [X]

She  has said that the meeting appeared to focus more on the sensitivities of  the Muslim community than on addressing the risk to the Jewish  community.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Elaine has accused West Yorkshire Police of seeking to appease  Muslims — including Muslim officers and community leaders — rather than  focusing on the threat to the Jewish community.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Speaking to Allison Pearson about the meeting, Elaine said: “I could not believe what I was hearing.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; She added: “I was taking part in this emergency Teams meeting hosted  by West Yorkshire Police, the day after the horrific attack on the  synagogue. It was chaired by a white female inspector. She was very  fair, very strict and didn’t take any nonsense, but she was under  constant pressure from the Muslim men in the meeting…&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; “The whole meeting wasn’t about what it should have been about. [It  should have been about], ‘How can we protect the Bradford synagogue and  the Jewish population?’ ” Elaine insisted that much of what was  discussed “[was about], ‘We Muslims need protecting because we are now  at risk of anti-Muslim reprisals.’ ”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The retired academic, who is in her 60s, was informed of her sacking  via a letter stating it was the result of “divisive and inflammatory”  comments that had prompted complaints from Muslim officers who had  attended the meeting….&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; This followed a separate incident in which Elaine, in her capacity as  chair of the panel, reviewed a case in which a member of the public had  telephoned the police helpline and ranted to Muslim officers about the  Prophet Mohammed marrying a nine-year-old child, calling him a  “paedophile”. The individual was initially charged with a hate crime….&lt;/blockquote&gt; The caller was simply stating the truth. According to the Hadith,  Muhammad consummated his marriage with little Aisha when she was nine  and he was fifty-four. You can find this at Sahih al-Bukhari 5134 and in  many other hadiths.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;At the emergency meeting following the attack on the  synagogue, Elaine proposed an open discussion about the threat from  Islamist terrorists. She was subsequently informed that she had been  removed from her role as member and chair of the scrutiny panel for  failing to show impartiality.&lt;/blockquote&gt; After a Muslim murdered two Jews at the Heaton Park synagogue, Elaine  wanted to discuss the threat of “Islamist” terrorism. That enraged  Muslims on the police force who claimed that showed a lack of  “impartiality.” Presumably, she should have asked for equal time be  given to discussing Muslim and to Jewish terrorists in the UK, although  there are no examples of the latter.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;Several complaints from West Yorkshire Police email  addresses [from Muslim police] were sent after the meeting. One read: “I  don’t know the lady in question… some of the wording used in the  meeting today, I noted in my daybook: ‘there is one community that this  is coming from’, ‘just say it how it is, we are not stupid’. It appeared  she was insinuating that the hate towards the Jewish community was from  the Muslim community only and that Muslims — 2 billion or so worldwide —  themselves posed a threat.”&lt;/blockquote&gt; Do Muslims pose a threat to non-Muslims, including Jews, or don’t  they? How many examples of Muslim attacks on non-Muslims worldwide need  be adduced to prove that they do? On what basis should the issue not be  discussed? That such discussion might make Muslims feel in danger? Have  there been any violent attacks on Muslims in the UK?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Muslim officers are maligning Elaine the truth-teller precisely for  telling the truth   that “we all know which community is responsible for  the attacks in Manchester” — and for noting that “we all know what is  the elephant in the room.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;A third complaint said of Elaine: “[She] made a number of  comments that I found deeply troubling… I found her remarks highly  inappropriate and concerning.”&lt;/blockquote&gt; Yes, how “inappropriate” and “deeply troubling” of Elaine to suggest,  just after Muslims murdered two Jews, that Islam itself deserved to be  examined.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;West Yorkshire Police is no stranger to accusations of  imbalance in the way it applies policing across different communities.  In 2025, the force temporarily blocked applications from white British  candidates in an effort to boost diversity. It is also the same force  that a government-commissioned report found had “totally and utterly  failed” a religious studies teacher who faced such severe threats after  showing pupils a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed that he was forced into  hiding.&lt;/blockquote&gt; That teacher, with his entire family, remains in hiding. Shouldn’t  the responsibility of the Muslim community in tolerating those of its  members who have threatened him be discussed? Shouldn’t its leaders be  asked to publicly denounce those who have threatened the teacher?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Those Muslim police officers who wrote to the chief constable to  complain of Elaine’s wanting — after the attack that killed two at the  Heaton Park Synagogue — to discuss how to protect Jews from attack,  rather than on assuring Muslims of their safety, and to demand that she  be fired, should themselves be sacked for trying to shut down her  exercise of free speech. But they won’t be. Elaine will not be  reinstated. And the UK itself will sink further into the mire of  appeasement of the Muslims in its midst.&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35545395</link><pubDate>6/12/2026 9:37:13 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Tom Clarke] Someone needs to beat the shit out of them.</title><author>Tom Clarke</author><description /><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35544634</link><pubDate>6/12/2026 9:22:16 AM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Maple MAGA ] France: Muslims storm Catholic church service, scream ‘F**k your mothers, you Ch...</title><author>Maple MAGA </author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;France: Muslims storm Catholic church service, scream ‘F**k your mothers, you Christians!’ and ‘Allahu akbar’ &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jun 12, 2026 9:00 am &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/author/samir' target='_blank'&gt;Robert Spencer&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/2026/06/france-muslims-storm-catholic-church-service-scream-fk-your-mothers-you-christians-and-allahu-akbar#respond' target='_blank'&gt;Leave a Comment&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Imagine  how much we would be hearing about this if a pair of Roman Catholics  had shown up at a mosque and shouted “F**k your mothers, you Muslims!”  and “Jesus is Lord!” That would never happen and should never happen, of  course, but the double standard is no less acceptable for being  obvious.

When they do leave, other Muslims will be ready to move in, until the  entire area is “Muslim land.” That’s how the jihad advances without a  shot being fired.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Poissy_-_Eglise_Saint-Louis_de_Beauregard_-_2.jpg' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Poissy_-_Eglise_Saint-Louis_de_Beauregard_-_2-300x174.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Saint-Louis’ church of Beauregard in Poissy, &amp;#169; Peter Potrowl, sitemai.eu, Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 “‘F**k your mothers, you Christians!,&amp;#39;”  &lt;a href='https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=122133721191139885&amp;amp;id=61584196566166&amp;amp;mibextid=wwXIfr&amp;amp;rdid=8yj7iWJ4qT7vrCWz#' target='_blank'&gt;G&amp;#233;n&amp;#233;ration Poissy&lt;/a&gt;, June 7, 2026 (thanks to  &lt;a href='https://medforth.biz/muslims-stormed-a-catholic-service-at-a-church-in-beauregard-france-shouting-fuck-your-mothers-you-christians-and-allah-akbar/' target='_blank'&gt;Medforth&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;…Friday night Beauregard church was the site of racist,  insulting and inadmissible language!

Those who have been caught have all been Muslims, and it is reasonable to assume that those who haven’t yet been caught are also Muslims.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Sanctuaire_de_Notre_Dame_du_Faron_Toulon_Provence-Alpes-Cote_dAzur_France_-_panoramio.jpg' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Sanctuaire_de_Notre_Dame_du_Faron_Toulon_Provence-Alpes-Cote_dAzur_France_-_panoramio-300x174.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sanctuaire de Notre Dame du Faron, Toulon, by M.Strikis, Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0More on the latest desecration of a Christian site can be found here: “Attack on statue of Our Lady as French shrine vandalized,” by Gaetano Masciullo,  &lt;a href='https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/attack-on-statue-of-our-lady-as-french-shrine-vandalized/' target='_blank'&gt;LifeSite News&lt;/a&gt;, June 9, 2026:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Vandals desecrated the Notre-Dame du Faron shrine in Toulon, France, damaging a statue of the Virgin Mary at one of the region’s most visited Marian pilgrimage sites.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On June 9, the Diocese of Fr&amp;#233;jus-Toulon reported the desecration of the Notre-Dame du Faron shrine, a prominent Marian pilgrimage site overlooking the harbor of Toulon in southern France. Church authorities announced that a statue of the Virgin Mary was damaged in an act of vandalism discovered in recent days by the priest of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul parish, which is responsible for the shrine. The diocese has filed a formal complaint with the authorities.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;According to a report released by  &lt;a href='https://tribunechretienne.com/diocese-de-frejus-toulon-profanation-du-sanctuaire-notre-dame-du-faron/' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tribune Chr&amp;#233;tienne&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, the damage was identified after the parish priest inspected the site at the summit of Mount Faron. The pedestal supporting the statue, known as Notre-Dame du Mont Faron, had been knocked over and broken. The wooden statue itself also suffered damage. Church officials reported a crack in one of the feet and additional deterioration to the head that will require restoration work. The statue has since been removed and secured pending repairs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At this stage, the diocese indicated, no information has been made public regarding those responsible for the desecration or the reasons behind it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;After many thousands of such attacks on churches across France — about 800 to 1,000 annually — a number of the malefactors have been caught, sometimes through having been filmed on the church’s CCTV, and sometimes by the swift appearance of the police, summoned by a priest or parishioners when the vandals are still inside the church, and in every case they have turned out to be Muslims, so we can safely assume that Muslims most like vandalized this shrine, too.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Muslims wish to destroy the symbols and places of Christian worship. There are 40,000 churches in France; the police now guard only a few hundred of them in the cities; those in small villages are left unguarded, because the locals cannot pay guards to secure their churches. As the Muslim population of France increases, so will the attacks on Christian sites — churches and shrines. French leaders should recognize that the attacks on churches are an attack on Christianity in France, the faith that is central to the French cultural identity. The national government should have a dedicated force, some ten to twenty thousand men strong, whose officers are tasked with protecting the religious heritage of France. That means guarding its churches from vandalism and arson. These men could be spread out across the country, capable of being summoned at once by alarm systems set off by intruders in the churches, systems that would be installed in every church in the land. Such a force won’t stop all of these attacks, but many attacks will be foiled, and many malefactors who currently ‘scape whipping will be caught, convicted, and either sent to prison or better still, be deported back to their countries of origin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And meanwhile, of course, &lt;i&gt;ora pro nobis&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35544400</link><pubDate>6/11/2026 11:19:32 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Tom Clarke] French leftists call to ban giant banquets enjoyed by thousands of revellers cla...</title><author>Tom Clarke</author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;French leftists call to ban giant banquets enjoyed by thousands of revellers claiming they are purposely excluding Muslims and vegetarians&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Banquets enjoyed across the French countryside have become a hot political issue after hard-left politicians called for their ban.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The massive events, run by company called Le Canon Fran&amp;#231;ais, have proved a hit across rural France with four courses of local cuisine, unlimited wine, and several hours of music and group singing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;However, politicians from the La France Insoumise (LFI) party have accused the events, costing around €81 (&amp;#163;70) per ticket, of turning a blind eye to racist chanting and deliberately excluding Muslims and vegetarians by featuring pork regularly on the menu.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They also pointed to the involvement of conservative investor Pierre-Edouard St&amp;#233;rin as evidence the banquets are used to promote the agenda of the hard right.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Emma Fourreau, an LFI member of the European Parliament, told the BBC: "If they were in good faith, Le Canon Fran&amp;#231;ais would never have accepted St&amp;#233;rin as an investor.

Her story says something profound about nations’ right to defend their borders.&lt;br&gt;George Matwijec | May 30, 2026&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src='https://images.americanthinker.com/gl/glnxtbpafwjgtpfcwjhm_640.jpg'&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;    The issue of immigration is central to many countries in Europe and also the United States in today’s political environment.  At its heart is whether a country has a right to maintain its cultural identity and therefore limit immigration in order to preserve that identity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What if there were a historical example that shed light on that topic and included a note of divine consent?  There is such an example, and that is the story of Joan of Arc.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Joan came out of nowhere as a woman in the medieval era and led an army to eject the English from her land.  The lesson here is twofold. First, no country has a right to maintain occupation or domination over another.  This message in itself is quite relevant to today’s political theater.  Second, a country has a right to maintain its cultural identity free from foreign domination — in this case, English domination over France&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;May 30 is the celebration of Joan’s feast day of Joan.  Maybe it’s time to take a second look at her life story and see what connections can be made.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What is interesting about the Joan of Arc story is that Joan claimed that her deeds were done with divine assistance.  She frequently claimed that she had received inspiration by means of voices from St. Margaret, St. Catherine, and St. Michael the Archangel.  This is an incredible claim.  However, what she accomplished was an incredible feat in its own right.  She became the leader of the French army in the Middle Ages at a time when the concept of women as warriors was preposterous.  Perhaps this is a case where her deeds proved her claims of divine assistance.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The key fact that allowed her to ascend to such heights was a secret she told King Charles VII.  Neither the king nor Joan ever revealed this secret, so historians can only speculate what it was.  But the king knew that the secret was true and therefore believed in Joan’s divine mission.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The second fact about Joan’s life that proves the validity of her claims is that she was willing to die rather than renounce and recant everything she did.  People don’t die for a lie.  This is one of the great arguments used for the spread of Christianity.  The early Christians experienced Christ in a spiritual manner, and they were willing to die because of that experience.  The voices were real for Joan: They were the saints, beckoning her to defend the cultural identity of France.  Historically, Joan did recant briefly, but later she rebuffed that momentary weakness and remained faithful to the truth she was presented with.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Think about the consequences of this.  We have an example of divine intervention by means of a humble maid, as she referred to herself, taking a definitive side in a concrete instance of history.  Many times during a conflict, both sides claim to have God on their side, but in this case, God, by means of his celestial messengers, took a definite side.  The French had the right to their own king, their own country, and their own cultural identity.  The English were on the wrong side, attempting to dominate and master the French by means of force.  The English knew what this meant, and this is the reason they had to destroy Joan of Arc.  Allowing God to be on the side of the French in the person of this peasant girl meant they were committing evil.  This is something Joan constantly reminded them of by her very existence.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Joan  &lt;a href='https://sourcebooks.web.fordham.edu/basis/joanofarc-trial.asp' target='_blank'&gt;wrote a letter&lt;/a&gt; to the king of England, which we still have today.  In this letter, she said, “You will not withhold the kingdom of France from God. ... King Charles, the true inheritor, will possess it, for God wills it.”  In other words, God, according to Joan, took the side of France in this 100-year war.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is why the example of Joan is relevant for today’s world.  Joan said she had divine affirmation that it was necessary for France to retain its king, its country, and its culture.  The English needed to leave France, as she said: “As for the English, the only peace with them is by their return to their own country, to England.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What Joan was defending is what I would call a soft nationalism.  It’s not a nationalism that speaks of dominating other cultures or claiming superiority; it’s a nationalism that speaks of sovereignty and freedom to determine a nation’s own path.  Joan’s main goal was to free France from English domination and to maintain the French monarchy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When I read about Joan of Arc on the internet, I see that she is celebrated for her courage, her faith in God, and her purity.  Rarely do I see the theme of defending France from the English by means of the lance!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Joan was a warrior who used the sword as a legitimate act of self-defense.  There is plenty of ethical support for the right of self-defense in the face of aggression, including the use of arms if necessary.  The French definitely had the right to defend their homeland, and Joan was there in the midst of battle.  When you read the original text of her trial and what witnesses said about her, you can see that she had no bones about doing battle with the English if they did not voluntarily leave.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Today, many people in Europe and the United States are concerned about preserving their cultural identity from excessive immigration.  They fear that the character of their country is disappearing.  The message behind Joan of Arc is a reminder to affirm one&amp;#39;s cultural identity.  There is no need to apologize, as Joan shows us that God&amp;#39;s blessings were on the side of France. This implies that it is a moral good to maintain that identity, whatever it may be, for each nation in question.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;George Matwijec is an adjunct philosophy teacher at Immaculata University who specializes in teaching knowledge and logic.

Later celebrations are planned at the club&amp;#39;s home stadium, Parc des  Princes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src='https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/480/cpsprodpb/1402/live/6a759400-5ce6-11f1-81d4-4b01427112e9.jpg.webp'&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;AFP via Getty Images&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Authorities say they are prepared to deal with any trouble&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src='https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/480/cpsprodpb/8859/live/667c3560-5cdd-11f1-8b8c-6d33e1d5abb6.jpg.webp'&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;AFP via Getty Images&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Scenes from Paris were similar to last year&amp;#39;s celebrations of PSG victory&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Earlier, the interior minister said the security forces would be "firm" in their response to violence.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"We are a great country for maintaining public order. We allow freedom of assembly, but not excesses," he said.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There was similar violence when PSG won the same trophy last year, with celebrations turning deadly. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thousands of officers had been deployed this time to curb unrest that disrupted bus, train and rail services in Paris. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The vast Champs-&amp;#201;lys&amp;#233;es was swarmed by fans shortly after the local team won in a penalty shootout. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Footage  shows flares being set off, electric bikes burning on roads and  revellers smashing the glass of at least one shopfront. Police fired  tear gas to disperse crowds in the city centre.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Paris police made 480 arrests, with 277 taken into custody, including 82 minors.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The  figures were provisional, the Paris prosecutor&amp;#39;s office said. It added  that offences ranged from attacks on officers to attacks on property,  theft, as well as illegal possession of weapons.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The  circumstances surrounding the death of the 24-year-old near Porte  Maillot in the Paris ring road remain unclear. Some witnesses said he  was riding a motorcycle when he crashed into concrete blocks. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A  teenager was also in critical condition following a brawl in another  area of Paris. It is not clear if they were involved in the  football-related rioting.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src='https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/480/cpsprodpb/7aa9/live/78d00c40-5d0b-11f1-9dbd-c1cee1747804.jpg.webp'&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;AFP via Getty Images&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thousands of PSG fans are expected to watch their team parade the Champions League trophy near the Eiffel Tower&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src='https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/480/cpsprodpb/28d9/live/0a39b1e0-5d0c-11f1-9dbd-c1cee1747804.jpg.webp'&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Getty Images&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;PSG fans were in good spirits as the victory parade began on Sunday evening"The vast majority go out to celebrate and it goes very well," the French interior minister said on Sunday. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"But  other individuals, who are not PSG supporters, who don&amp;#39;t even watch the  match, come to cause trouble and disturbances.

The French are in a state of anxiety and alarm over the Muslims, now  10% of the population, in their midst, with their terrific cost to the  state’s coffers, the great increase in crime by Muslims, and both their  inability, and unwillingness, to integrate into French society. As a  result, polls confirm, there has been a dramatic rise in support for the  anti-Muslim immigrant National Rally party and its young (30 years  old), and charismatic leader, Jordan Bardella. More on Darmanin’s plan  can be found here: “France’s Justice Minister Calls for Three-Year  Immigration Moratorium, Says Nation Has ‘Reached the Limit,’” by Ben  Kew,  &lt;a href='https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/05/frances-justice-minister-calls-three-year-immigration-moratorium/' target='_blank'&gt;Gateway Pundit&lt;/a&gt;, May 25, 2026:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Darmanin_1_Besancon_10-02-2024_Toufik-de-Planoise.jpg' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Darmanin_1_Besancon_10-02-2024_Toufik-de-Planoise-300x174.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;G&amp;#233;rald Darmanin by Toufik-de-Planoise, Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 &lt;br&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;France’s Justice Minister has called for a sweeping  three-year halt to immigration, warning that the country has reached a  breaking point after decades of mass migration.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; G&amp;#233;rald Darmanin, a senior figure in President Emmanuel Macron’s  government and a likely contender in next year’s presidential election,  said France no longer has the capacity to properly integrate new  arrivals.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; “We have reached the limit of our capacities for integration and assimilation,” Darmanin said in an  &lt;a href='https://www.lejdd.fr/politique/exclusif-periscolaire-immigration-narcotrafic-les-annonces-de-gerald-darmanin-174711' target='_blank'&gt;interview with &lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;Le Journal du Dimanche. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; ”So I now have a very strong conviction: we must put an end to immigration as it is today.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; ”This is why I am proposing a three-year moratorium on legal immigration.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The comments mark one of the starkest admissions yet from a senior  member of the French establishment over the scale of the migration  crisis.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Darmanin also called for tougher deportation enforcement.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; “Let’s put a stop to immigration, let’s expel those who must be  expelled by conditioning visas on the acceptance of deportation orders,  and let’s work on the assimilation of those who are on the national  territory.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; He also proposed ending automatic family reunification pathways and  replacing them with strict annual visa quotas based on labor needs and  country of origin.&lt;/blockquote&gt; By including “country of origin” as one of the criteria for judging  who should be admitted into France after the proposed three-year  moratorium has concluded, Darmanin has semaphored his intention to  severely limit, or perhaps block altogether, immigrants from Muslim  countries.&lt;blockquote&gt;Darmanin said many migrants lack “respect for the values”  of France and blamed business interests for encouraging mass migration  to suppress wages….&lt;/blockquote&gt; That lack of “respect for the values of France” — values that include  freedom of speech, freedom of religion (that means the freedom to have  any or no belief, and the freedom to convert) — is based on the texts  and teachings of Islam. Why should Muslims, whom the Qur’an instructs  are the “best of peoples,” respect the values of non-Muslims who,  according to the Qur’an, are “the most vile of created beings”? Why  would Muslims want to assimilate into a society fashioned by such  creatures? They don’t, and they won’t, no matter how hard the government  tries to make them respect and adopt “the values of France.”&lt;blockquote&gt;Opponents have dismissed Darmanin’s remarks as political  posturing, noting that the current French establishment bears  significant responsibility for the country’s immigration policies.&lt;/blockquote&gt; Yes, the French political elite does bear responsibility for  immigration policies that have caused such harm to the country. But now  Darmanin is trying to change those policies. He is almost certain to be a  presidential candidate next year, under President Emmanuel Macron’s  Renaissance banner. He knows how unpopular Macron has become, in large  part because of his failure to staunch the flow of Muslim immigration,  and he wants to make sure that voters know he is cut from a different  cloth and will indeed deal forcefully with that immigration, beginning  with his just-proposed three-year moratorium that would likely be  followed by another, much longer moratorium, Darmanin wants voters to  understand, if he becomes president.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The far-left party of Jean-Luc M&amp;#233;lenchon, La France Insoumise, has  the support of more Muslims than do any of the other parties. The far  left in France — M&amp;#233;lenchon is a Communist — supports unlimited Muslim  immigration because it understands that those immigrants, once they  acquire citizenship, will swell the ranks of the far left. The leftists  are not wrong. And if La France Insoumise comes to power, it will let in  even more migrants, and increase the benefits lavished on those Muslim  migrants once they are in France.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Darmanin hopes his moratorium on immigration will allow him to fend  off a challenge from Jordan Bardella, whose National Rally party has  always made ending Muslim immigration central to its platform. Bardella  will, I suspect, now say in response to Darmanin that while he, Jordan  Bardella, welcomes the moratorium on immigration, Darmanin should have  proposed that it last not for three years, but for at least ten, and  furthermore, he ought to have made clear that there would be exceptions,  but only for high-value migrants — doctors, scientists, entrepreneurs —  who come from non-Muslim countries.&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35532445</link><pubDate>5/29/2026 6:12:22 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Maple MAGA ] Head of Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine Terrorist Cell Lives Free ...</title><author>Maple MAGA </author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;Head of Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine Terrorist Cell Lives Free in France, but for How Long? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;May 29, 2026 10:00 am &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/author/laszlo' target='_blank'&gt;Hugh Fitzgerald&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/2026/05/head-of-popular-front-for-the-liberation-of-palestine-terrorist-cell-lives-free-in-france-but-for-how-long#comments' target='_blank'&gt;1 Comment&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Salah  Hamouri is the head of a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine  (PFLP) cell inside Israel. He directs it both from his current home in  France, and in clandestine meetings with its members in various  locations throughout Europe. Hamouri is a naturalized citizen of France.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/SalahHamouri.jpg' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/SalahHamouri-207x300.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Salah Hamouri, by Abachell, Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 More on the PFLP terrorist roaming free in France can be found here:  “Shin Bet, police bust east Jerusalem terror cell headed by PFLP  terrorist in France,” by Goldie Katz,  &lt;a href='https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/crime-in-israel/article-897383' target='_blank'&gt;Jerusalem Post&lt;/a&gt;, May 26, 2026:&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;Israel Police and the Shin Bet have foiled a terrorist  cell consisting of east Jerusalem residents operating under instructions  from a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist  living in France, the police announced on Tuesday.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Five PFLP-linked east Jerusalem residents were arrested in November  and December of 2025 for questioning after they were suspected of having  been recruited by Salah Hamouri, a senior PFLP terrorist.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Hamouri, a lawyer, has a history of active involvement in terrorist  activity, including the 2005 attempted assassination of Rabbi Ovadia  Yosef, according to Israel Police.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Hamouri’s Israeli residency was revoked in 2022 due to his  involvement in terror plots, and he was transferred to France, where he  has citizenship….&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Indictments were filed against two of the east Jerusalem residents  recruited by Hamouri. They were charged with terrorism related offenses,  including active membership in a terrorist organization, dealing in  property for terrorist purposes, and attempted conspiracy to commit a  crime that is an act of terrorism.&lt;/blockquote&gt; I assume that Israel has not yet presented its complete dossier on  Hamouri, with the copious evidence of his PFLP activities, as compiled  by the Shin Bet, and Israeli police, to the relevant French authorities.  However, the French do not extradite their own citizens to non-European  countries. So what is to be done? Could all the evidence of his PFLP  activities be enough for a French court to strip him of his citizenship,  and then to extradite him to Israel?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Even if that were possible, there are many French officials in the  DGSI, the General Directorate for Internal Security, who are so worried  about how Muslims in France will react if the government of France does  indeed decide to deport him to Israel that they will persuade the  government to let Hamouri keep his citizenship so that he can remain in  France.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; But his continued presence in France, now that Israel has made public  his terrorist activities, is certainly an embarrassment to France. Can  the French government try him as a terrorist in France, based on  evidence Israel provides? Or would that, too, lead Muslims to stage  violent protests on the streets? In order to relieve itself of his  shameful presence, the French might allow Hamouri to slip through their  fingers and to take a plane to Algeria, from which he will again recruit  Palestinians to carry out terror attacks inside Israel. But at least he  won’t be France’s problem. It’s a possibility.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In my hopeful moments, however, I allow myself to believe that once  the Israelis present their mountain of evidence against him, Hamouri  will be stripped of his French citizenship, and then extradited to  Israel, as Gregory Peck used to say, PDQ.&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35532002</link><pubDate>5/29/2026 11:51:13 AM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Maple MAGA ] France: Muslim migrant screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ attacks soldiers, then strips na...</title><author>Maple MAGA </author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;France: Muslim migrant screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ attacks soldiers, then strips naked &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;May 29, 2026 11:00 am &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/author/samir' target='_blank'&gt;Robert Spencer&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/2026/05/france-muslim-migrant-screaming-allahu-akbar-attacks-soldiers-then-strips-naked#respond' target='_blank'&gt;Leave a Comment&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Once  again, “Allahu akbar” does not mean “God is great.” It means that the  god of Islam is greater than the god of the infidels. Jihadis often  shout it while attacking infidels because their attack is a sign that  Allah is greater; the infidels’ god cannot even protect his people from  being attacked.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Meanwhile, why did this guy take off his clothes? Maybe he was  expected to be killed, and wanted to be ready for the virgins of  paradise. Islamic paradise is a physical place, where the blessed  recline in “enclosed gardens and vineyards” (Qur’an 78:32), where there  will be “fruit in plenty, neither out of reach nor forbidden, and raised  couches” (Qur’an 56:32-4). On those couches, there will be  “large-breasted women of equal age” (Qur’an 78:32-3). These are the  famous virgins of paradise: “Indeed, we have created them a special  creation and made them virgins, lovers, friends” (Qur’an 56:35-7).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; These women are, according to Islamic tradition, waiting with  tremendous enthusiasm for those who “kill and are killed” (Qur’an 9:111)  for Allah, and are rewarded for doing so with an immediate trip to  paradise. That is why 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta packed a fancy suit in  his luggage (which was flagged, while he himself wasn’t) on that fateful  day.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Atta was actually anticipating changing into this suit before he flew  the plane he hijacked into one of the World Trade Center towers. He  wanted to make this change so that he would turn up in paradise looking  his very best for the heavenly virgins. According to a  &lt;a href='https://www.wnd.com/2002/09/15172/' target='_blank'&gt;letter&lt;/a&gt; that  was also in his luggage, Atta was looking forward to “marriage” with  the “women of paradise,” whom he would encounter “dressed in their most  beautiful clothing.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Jardin_des_plantes_montauban.png' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Jardin_des_plantes_montauban-300x174.png'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jardin des plantes montauban by Flo82, Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 “Naked and shouting ‘Allah Akbar’ in Montauban: a 24-year-old  Tunisian national attacks soldiers while they are jogging; two police  officers are injured during the arrest,”  &lt;a href='https://www-ladepeche-fr.translate.goog/2026/05/26/nu-et-hurlant-allah-akbar-a-montauban-un-ressortissant-tunisien-de-24-ans-sen-prend-a-des-militaires-en-plein-footing-deux-policiers-blesses-lors-de-13388794.php?_x_tr_sl=fr&amp;amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;amp;_x_tr_hl=da&amp;amp;_x_tr_pto=wapp' target='_blank'&gt;La D&amp;#233;p&amp;#234;che&lt;/a&gt; via  &lt;a href='https://www-fdesouche-com.translate.goog/2026/05/26/nu-et-hurlant-allah-akbar-a-montauban-82-un-tunisien-de-24-ans-sen-prend-a-des-militaires-en-plein-footing-deux-policiers-blesses-lors-de-linterpellation/?_x_tr_sl=fr&amp;amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;amp;_x_tr_hl=da&amp;amp;_x_tr_pto=wapp' target='_blank'&gt;Fdesouche&lt;/a&gt;, May 26, 2026:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;EXCLUSIVE. A training exercise by soldiers from the 17th  Parachute Engineer Regiment turned into a tense confrontation Thursday  morning in Montauban (Tarn-et-Garonne). A 24-year-old man, who had been  following the soldiers while shouting threats and religious slogans,  then stripped naked before entering a private property near the Jardin  des Plantes. Two police officers were injured during his arrest.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; […]&lt;br&gt; The young man began to follow the group very closely. One hand remained  hidden in his fanny pack. In broken French, he repeatedly said what  sounded like threats against the army soldiers, before shouting: “Allah  akbar” (“God is great”, in Arabic).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; What followed was utterly bizarre. In the middle of the street, the  man stripped completely naked and then forced his way into the garden of  a private property located on Impasse d’Angleterre. Alerted by this  intrusion and the threats made against the soldiers, municipal and  national police officers quickly converged on the area. The arrest  proved difficult from the outset. The individual refused to be subdued  and put up violent resistance. A struggle ensued with the police  officers.&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35532001</link><pubDate>5/29/2026 11:50:28 AM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Tom Clarke] [X]

However, under maritime laws, facilitating illegal migration can be prosecuted, and it should be.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Last year, new laws were  &lt;a href='https://www.gov.uk/government/news/major-law-change-to-criminalise-small-boat-smuggler-ads' target='_blank'&gt;created&lt;/a&gt; in the UK to criminalize “the  &lt;a href='https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/promoting-small-boat-crossings-social-media-become-criminal-bnbse' target='_blank'&gt;creation &lt;/a&gt;of social media posts that promote breaches of immigration law, such as advertisements for small boat crossings, or promises of illegal working opportunities in the UK. Approximately 80% of migrants arriving via small boats said that they used social media at some point to facilitate their illegal journey to the UK, including communicating with the smuggling gang members who arranged their crossing or accepted their payment.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yet there is seldom any followup to growing public frustration over the invasion of illegal migrants into the UK, mostly from Africa and the Middle East.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Britain has also now found itself in a trap, as have other open-door migration countries, since the word “refugee” has become synonymous with&lt;i&gt; economic migrant&lt;/i&gt;. The vast majority of illegals invading the UK are arriving on boats from the northern coast of France. UK immigration law allows the government to render an asylum claim to be inadmissible if the applicant either has a connection to or traveled through  &lt;a href='https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/69a1c2a6286b6fdc85daeae5/Inadmissibility__2_.pdf' target='_blank'&gt;a safe third country&lt;/a&gt; where they could have applied for protection. According to UK government statistics, “there were 46,497 detected arrivals via illegal routes, 7% more than in the previous year.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;These numbers have added up through the years. The slow, steady invasion of Britain by illegal migrants and their offspring has already resulted in a major shift in demographics and attitudes toward Britain. Numbers do not lie, and neither does the black and white print of Sharia, to which many of the boat migrants adhere.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Boat-migrants-Wiki-Commons-Public-Domain.jpg' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Boat-migrants-Wiki-Commons-Public-Domain-300x200.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Photo: Wikimedia Commons, Public Domain“ANOTHER boatload of illegal migrants cross Channel with more seen preparing to launch from France,” by James Saunders,  &lt;a href='https://www.gbnews.com/news/migrant-crisis-asylum-seekers-english-channel-france-crossings-bank-holiday' target='_blank'&gt;GB News&lt;/a&gt;, May 25, 2026:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A fresh boatload of illegal migrants have crossing the English Channel this morning – with more already seen massing on the beaches of northern France.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Around 70 migrants arrived in Dover this morning on a dinghy, GB News can reveal.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Meanwhile, further “asylum seekers” have been seen massing in Dunkirk, to the east of Calais on France’s north coast.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The first boat left for Britain from near Calais between 2am and 3am this morning.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It then sailed past the French navy to the halfway point in the Channel, where it was intercepted by the British Border Force vessel BSC Courageous.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That dinghy was intercepted at around 5am – and is understood to have arrived in Dover shortly after 6am.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Further images obtained by Britain’s News Channel from Dunkirk today show migrants wading out into the water to board a “taxi boat”.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Taxi boats travel along the beaches of France, picking up passengers before then making the crossing towards the Kent coast….&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;…The early morning tally of 70 is set to bring the total number of bank holiday weekend arrivals to more than 980.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If any more small boats cross to the South Coast today, that number could smash the 1,000 mark….&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35528587</link><pubDate>5/26/2026 9:10:19 AM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Tom Clarke] [X]

He allegedly expressed enthusiasm for  ISIS and the group’s implementation of proper Islamic law.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The French authorities dug deeper and found him talking to foreign jihadists about access points to the Louvre and  &lt;a href='https://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2026/05/11/un-jeune-homme-arrete-pour-un-projet-d-attaque-djihadiste-visant-le-louvre_6688154_3224.html' target='_blank'&gt;discussing&lt;/a&gt; how  to plant a bomb inside the famous museum. His phone had a video of the  museum building and he was asking AI about bomb building techniques.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The same year that Dhafer invaded France, the Louvre had hosted the  “Pillar of Missing Migrants,” bemoaning the “dangerous trajectories  taken by the men, women and children fleeing war, famine, poverty and  environmental disasters” under the Louvre pyramid.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Little did the Louvre’s management seem to know that the dangerous  trajectory of migration was heading towards the storied museum, even as  it “virtue signaled” in support of more migrants.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Which amounted to the museum calling for more Islamic plots against its own existence.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Louvre_Museum_Wikimedia_Commons.jpg' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Louvre_Museum_Wikimedia_Commons-300x174.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Courtyard of the Museum of Louvre, and its pyramid, Benh Lieu Song (Flickr), Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 This is the second Muslim plot involving the Louvre in two years  after the previous Louvre heist in which the known suspects have Muslim  names such as Ayed, Abdoulaye, Rachid and Slimane, and one of the  suspects had tried to flee to Algeria and another to Mali, despite the  media going to great lengths not to report on their identities even  while blowing up assorted irrelevant details of the story like a random  man in a photo who went viral on social media.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; It was all the more awkward since the Louvre, which Rachid, among  North African Muslims, had conspired against fell under the jurisdiction  of Macron’s Culture Minister Rachida Dati, a fellow Algerian and  Moroccan Muslim, whose name is the female version of his, and who had  complained about the museum’s lack of effective security instead of the  prevalence of North African Muslim criminals like the ones who robbed  the Louvre and who had amassed an extended record of robberies,  assaults, pimping and other crimes while occupying a Parisian suburb.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Why do North African Muslims seem drawn to targeting the Louvre? The  museum and a lot of Parisian institutions depend on a North African  Muslim labor force which has access to its layout. And a foreign settler  population hostile to France and primed for taking part in terrorist  attacks to avenge perceived cultural slights and expand the frontiers of  Islam represent a severe risk.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Dhafer, the latest Muslim terrorist plotter, worked in the 16th  Arrondissement, which contains other museums, embassies and a part of  the remaining Jewish community in Paris. Dhafer had also reportedly  considered trying to make ricin, to poison some of the Jews living  there.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; There’s no telling how far the terror plot would have gone if the  police hadn’t conducted a random check, found the fake license, examined  his phone and taken him in for further questioning.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; It certainly wouldn’t have been the first Muslim terrorist plot or attack aimed at the Louvre.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In 2014, Ali, a 29-year-old Tunisian butcher,  &lt;a href='http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/10956636/Islamist-plot-to-blow-up-Eiffel-Tower-Louvre-and-nuclear-power-plant-foiled-say-French-police.html' target='_blank'&gt;proposed attacks&lt;/a&gt; on  the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and “cultural events that take place in  the south of France in which thousands of Christians gather for a  month”.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In 2017, Abdullah al-Hamahmy, an Egyptian Muslim screaming “Allahu  akbar,” attacked soldiers standing guard outside the Louvre with a  machete. The Muslim terrorist who had been staying in France on a  tourist visa had urged fellow Muslims to “fight in the cause of Allah.”  Once he was taken down however, his family denied everything. Dhafer is  also denying everything and claiming that he was trying to understand  ISIS, but wasn’t plotting an actual attack.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The Louvre has worked hard to accommodate Islamic colonization,  opening a permanent gallery of Islamic art: which is a misnomer since  Islam bans art and what the museum actually did was cannibalize its  appropriately named Department of Near Eastern Antiquities, renaming its  materials ‘Islamic art’ regardless of whether the artisans were devout  Muslim and the fact that apart from its Koran folio and assorted Islamic  exercises in calligraphy, Islamists would happily destroy most of the  tapestries and knicknacks that the Louvre mischaracterizes as Islamic.  But Louvre Abu Dhabi opened in the United Arab Emirates, took in sizable  amounts of Saudi, Kuwaiti and Omani money to promote Islam both abroad  and inside France.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In 2022, the same year that Dhafer entered France as a migrant, using  the invasion point of Lampedusa, the Louvre hosted ‘The Pillar of the  Missing Migrants’: a collection of supposed luggage from the migrant  invaders, from a Cameroonian ‘artist’.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; One migrant who wasn’t missing, but probably should have been, was  Dhafer, who is now accused of plotting to bomb the same museum that had  hosted the ‘The Pillar of the Missing Migrants’ to advocate for more  migrant invaders.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The Louvre’s description claimed that the migrant pillar is a “new  art form responsive to the world as it affects us and outrages us.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; If only anyone in the Louvre or among the French elite were capable  of being outraged by Islamic terrorism, maybe the Louvre wouldn’t need  as much security as it does.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; For now, Op&amp;#233;ration Sentinelle, which has been going on for ten years,  has positioned the French army in the streets of Paris at locations  like the Louvre to protect it against the barbarians at the gates.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; But if matters go on this way, the Louvre will suffer the same fate  as the Library of Alexandria whose burning Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab  decreed because “if those books are in agreement with the Koran, we have  no need of them; and if these are opposed to the Koran, destroy them.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The books were taken out and burned to provide fuel for the  bathhouses used by the Islamic invaders. The treasuries of human  civilization provided just enough fuel to keep the Muslim bathhouses  heated for six months.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; If France falls to Islam, the Louvre will fare no better than the great libraries of Alexandria, India, Persia and Byzantium.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35527068</link><pubDate>5/24/2026 9:46:18 AM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Tom Clarke] There's a good chance AI will eventually help us understand the language used in...</title><author>Tom Clarke</author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;There&amp;#39;s a good chance AI will eventually help us understand the language used in some sense by the smartest sorts of animals, like elephants, dolphins, whales, perhaps even certain sorts of plant life.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What this will mean we can only guess.

What began as a relatively obscure tale of a provincial cleric’s sudden and inexplicable wealth has spiraled into a wide-ranging debate involving suppressed Gospels, royal bloodlines, secret societies, and coded art.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The question is not merely whether Sauni&amp;#232;re discovered something of value, but whether that discovery was leveraged to manipulate, conceal, or provoke the guardians of religious and historical orthodoxy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Some historical contexts are worth considering before evaluating the implications of Sauni&amp;#232;re’s presence in the village.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Appointed to Rennes-le-Ch&amp;#226;teau in 1885, Sauni&amp;#232;re inherited a dilapidated church dedicated to Mary Magdalene. The building, like much of the surrounding region, bore the architectural scars of earlier centuries, most notably the  &lt;a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visigoths' target='_blank'&gt;Visigoths&lt;/a&gt; and the  &lt;a href='https://www.britannica.com/topic/Cathari' target='_blank'&gt;Cathars&lt;/a&gt;, both of whom played pivotal roles in the region’s layered history of religious dissent. In 1891, Sauni&amp;#232;re began renovations on the church, funded at first by modest parish donations and personal savings. But shortly thereafter, his financial circumstances changed. And they changed dramatically. He embarked on a lavish reconstruction of the church and presbytery, commissioned new artworks, landscaped elaborate gardens, and constructed the  &lt;a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Bethania' target='_blank'&gt;Villa Bethania&lt;/a&gt; and the  &lt;a href='https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tour_Magdala' target='_blank'&gt;Tour Magdala&lt;/a&gt;, each project far beyond the means of a rural priest.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The account that has drawn the most attention begins with the claim that, during the early renovations, Sauni&amp;#232;re discovered one or more parchments hidden within a hollow pillar supporting the church altar, allegedly Visigothic in origin. According to reports circulated decades later, these documents contained genealogical or esoteric information linked to either a lost royal bloodline or a suppressed theological truth. Unfortunately, no official record of the parchments exists in ecclesiastical archives (the Vatican perhaps?). Most of the documentation comes from secondhand testimony and books published long after Sauni&amp;#232;re’s death.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src='https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:875/1*GFPPYP29r-tU8O9bi259OQ.jpeg'&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Far left, seated: B&amp;#233;renger Sauni&amp;#232;reOne of the earliest popular accounts was published in 1967 by  &lt;a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A9rard_de_S%C3%A8de' target='_blank'&gt;G&amp;#233;rard de S&amp;#232;de in his book “L’Or de Rennes&lt;/a&gt;,” which presents Sauni&amp;#232;re not merely as a priest but as a possible discoverer of ancient secrets with the potential to challenge Church authority. De S&amp;#232;de’s narrative draws heavily from material provided by  &lt;a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Plantard' target='_blank'&gt;Pierre Plantard&lt;/a&gt; and  &lt;a href='https://priory-of-sion.com/rlc/bag/cherisey.html' target='_blank'&gt;Philippe de Ch&amp;#233;risey&lt;/a&gt;, whose documents, allegedly deposited in the Biblioth&amp;#232;que nationale de France, speak of the “Prieur&amp;#233; de Sion” (Priory of Sion), a shadowy organisation claimed to have guarded the bloodline of Jesus and Mary Magdalene for centuries.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Plantard’s documents list a succession of “Grand Masters” of the Priory, including  &lt;a href='https://www.leonardodavinci.net/' target='_blank'&gt;Leonardo da Vinci&lt;/a&gt;,  &lt;a href='https://www.britannica.com/biography/Isaac-Newton' target='_blank'&gt;Isaac Newton&lt;/a&gt;, and  &lt;a href='https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Hugo' target='_blank'&gt;Victor Hugo&lt;/a&gt;. Although it has since been proven that many of these documents were forged, their influence cannot be dismissed. The forgeries themselves introduced a storyline that merged cryptic symbols, apocryphal Gospels, and suppressed dynastic claims. The fabrication did not extinguish belief in the theory; rather, it ignited a broader cultural phenomenon, culminating in works like “ &lt;a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holy_Blood_and_the_Holy_Grail' target='_blank'&gt;Holy Blood, Holy Grail&lt;/a&gt;” (1982) by Henry Lincoln, Michael Baigent, and Richard Leigh, which expanded on de S&amp;#232;de’s material with considerable scholarly gloss and a more ambitious narrative.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The core thesis of “Holy Blood, Holy Grail” is that Jesus survived the crucifixion, married Mary Magdalene, and fathered children whose descendants intermarried with the  &lt;a href='https://www.britannica.com/topic/Merovingian-dynasty' target='_blank'&gt;Merovingian line of Frankish kings&lt;/a&gt;. The survival of this line was allegedly protected by the Priory of Sion, which maintained a hidden influence over European history. The book draws connections to the Templars, Cathars, and Rosicrucians, suggesting that religious and chivalric orders became vessels for preserving this sacred lineage.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Complementing this view, Margaret Starbird’s “ &lt;a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Woman_with_the_Alabaster_Jar' target='_blank'&gt;The Woman with the Alabaster Jar&lt;/a&gt;” (1993) argues that Mary Magdalene represents not only the consort of Jesus but also the lost feminine principle in Christian theology. Her research, though speculative, attempts to rehabilitate Magdalene from her alleged and unsubstantiated role in history as repentant prostitute to that of wisdom bearer, priestess, and mother of a royal bloodline.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mary Magdalene became widely identified as a repentant prostitute largely due to Pope Gregory I’s 6th-century sermon, which conflated her with other biblical figures — a characterisation the Vatican has since officially repudiated, clarifying that there is no scriptural basis for labelling her a prostitute.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Laurence Gardner, in his book “ &lt;a href='https://archive.org/details/20240209_20240209_0631' target='_blank'&gt;Bloodline of the Holy Grail&lt;/a&gt;” (1996), echoes this sentiment, suggesting that the Roman Church actively suppressed both the bloodline and the theological implications of Magdalene’s authority. If the Grail were not a cup, but instead a womb, the vessel of divine inheritance, then the entire metaphysical foundation of orthodox Christianity would be challenged.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This alternative interpretation of the Grail, as “Sangreal,” or royal blood, recurs in “ &lt;a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holy_Blood_and_the_Holy_Grail' target='_blank'&gt;The Messianic Legacy&lt;/a&gt;” (1986) and “ &lt;a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Temple_and_the_Lodge' target='_blank'&gt;The Temple and the Lodge&lt;/a&gt;” (1989), both of which attempt to tie these ideas to the broader evolution of secret societies and esoteric thought. Yet none of these sources offer direct, verifiable evidence. They rely instead on patterns, symbols, linguistic ambiguities, and the cumulative weight of coincidence.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One of the more controversial associations in this web of theories involves the  &lt;a href='https://www.britannica.com/topic/Templars' target='_blank'&gt;Knights Templar&lt;/a&gt;. Following their brutal dissolution in 1307, the Templars were accused of heresy, idol worship, and hidden rites. Some researchers suggest that the Templars excavated key texts and relics during their time at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which may have included Gnostic Gospels or family records related to Jesus and Magdalene. The Languedoc region, where Rennes-le-Ch&amp;#226;teau is situated, was also a stronghold for the Cathars, another persecuted group accused of harbouring heretical knowledge. The proximity of these threads suggests a regionally persistent lineage of religious dissent, secrecy, and alternative Christianities.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src='https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:875/1*CExpvLEJ0keTquLroBE08Q.jpeg'&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Knights Templars were accused of heresy, idol worship, and hidden rites following their dissolution, which was jointly ordered by King Philip IV of France and Pope Clement V (image: Google) &lt;a href='https://www.leonardodavinci.net/' target='_blank'&gt;Leonardo da Vinci&lt;/a&gt;, often cited as a Grand Master of the Priory of Sion in Plantard’s documents, becomes central to the symbolic argument. In “The Last Supper,” da Vinci famously omits the Holy Grail as a physical object and places a distinctly feminine figure beside Jesus, interpreted by some as Mary Magdalene. While most art historians identify the effeminate figure as John the Apostle, the flowing hair and curiously feminised features have fuelled claims that da Vinci embedded heretical messages in plain sight. The hypothesis remains speculative, but its implications resonate with the broader narrative of coded resistance to Church orthodoxy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This symbolic ambiguity extends into the very term “Sangreal,” which has been interpreted in two distinct ways depending on where the word is split. The traditional rendering, &lt;b&gt;San Greal&lt;/b&gt;, translates from Old French as “Holy Grail,” reinforcing the medieval legend of a sacred chalice used at the Last Supper and sought by Arthurian knights. However, when rendered as &lt;b&gt;Sang Real&lt;/b&gt;, it takes on an entirely different meaning: “royal blood.” This linguistic duality opens the possibility that the Grail was never intended to be an object at all, but rather a veiled reference to a bloodline carrying spiritual or dynastic significance. Proponents of this interpretation argue that such a double entendre would not have been accidental. In medieval Europe, where allegory, secrecy, and layered meanings shaped both religious and political discourse, the ambiguity may have been intentional, designed to hide profound theological and genealogical claims within a term that could pass unnoticed by those lacking the necessary keys to decode it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The question, then, is not whether the Grail exists, but whether its true meaning has been intentionally obscured by centuries of doctrinal control and selective translation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src='https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:875/1*SSdjcrICyfcjb8NrAixwdg.jpeg'&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“San Greal” translates from Old French as “Holy Grail”Dan Brown’s 2003 novel “The Da Vinci Code” catapulted these themes into global consciousness. He borrowed, quite liberally, from Lincoln’s “Holy Blood, Holy Grail,” a fact that led to a failed lawsuit by his co-authors, Baigent and Leigh. Yet Brown’s contribution lies not in originality, but in making the subject accessible, a fact he later acknowledged as key to his novel’s success. By weaving these elements into a thriller, he introduced millions to the idea that Christianity may have originated from a suppressed union between divine masculine and feminine energies. The Church’s swift dismissal of the book as fiction did little to stem public fascination.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src='https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:625/1*5K1SZtho4IwqAEviQRC3CA.png'&gt;&lt;br&gt;Paul Bettany’s character, Silas, in Ron Howard’s 2006 thriller ‘The Da Vinci Code’ (image: Columbia Pictures)What, then, are we to make of B&amp;#233;renger Sauni&amp;#232;re? His wealth was real; his Church reprimands for “trafficking in masses” are documented. Yet these accusations do not account for the full extent of his spending, nor do they explain the elaborate symbolism integrated into his renovations. He ordered statues and inscriptions that appear to contain coded messages, including an enigmatic Latin phrase above the church entrance: “Terribilis est locus iste” (“This place is terrible”), a biblical quote that takes on new meaning in the context of a heretical secret.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hypothetically, one might ask: what if the parchments discovered by Sauni&amp;#232;re were inauthentic, deliberate forgeries designed to attract attention, or to test the response of ecclesiastical authorities? And what if, in attempting to exploit them, he stumbled into a deeper and more dangerous tradition, one that predated even Christianity? Is it possible that his actions brought him into contact with living members of a suppressed sect, or initiated a chain of events he could not fully control?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Another possibility, rarely explored in depth, is that the concept of the holy bloodline was never meant to be genetic. Rather than a lineage of flesh and blood, it may have referred to a priestess line; a sacred succession of feminine initiates charged with preserving divine gnosis. If so, the Roman Church’s suppression of Mary Magdalene and her symbolic lineage would represent not just misogyny but a strategic erasure of an entire ritual framework. The Priory of Sion, whether real or invented, could have been a deliberate misdirection, a decoy placed in the path of seekers to keep the true legacy hidden beneath layers of mythology.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;None of these theories can be proven outright.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But the convergence of Sauni&amp;#232;re’s mystery, the Templar legacy, Magdalene’s rehabilitation, and the symbolic richness of Renaissance art suggests that we are dealing with more than mere coincidence.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The story of Rennes-le-Ch&amp;#226;teau endures not because it offers answers, but because it provokes deeper questions.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So, who decides what history is remembered?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What happens when religion becomes a tool of suppression rather than revelation?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And if the Holy Grail was never meant to be found, but understood, what have we misunderstood all along?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;References&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“L’Or de Rennes” by G&amp;#233;rard de S&amp;#232;de &lt;a class='ExternURL' href='https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1972565.L_Or_de_Rennes' target='_blank' &gt;goodreads.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“Holy Blood, Holy Grail” by Baigent, Leigh, and Lincoln &lt;a class='ExternURL' href='https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/106092.Holy_Blood_Holy_Grail' target='_blank' &gt;goodreads.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“The Woman with the Alabaster Jar” by Margaret Starbird &lt;a class='ExternURL' href='https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/93794.The_Woman_with_the_Alabaster_Jar' target='_blank' &gt;goodreads.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“Bloodline of the Holy Grail” by Laurence Gardner &lt;a class='ExternURL' href='https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/731578.Bloodline_of_the_Holy_Grail' target='_blank' &gt;goodreads.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“The Messianic Legacy” by Baigent, Leigh, and Lincoln &lt;a class='ExternURL' href='https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/106093.The_Messianic_Legacy' target='_blank' &gt;goodreads.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“The Temple and the Lodge” by Baigent and Leigh &lt;a class='ExternURL' href='https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/106095.The_Temple_and_the_Lodge' target='_blank' &gt;goodreads.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a class='ExternURL' href='https://medium.com/' target='_blank' &gt;medium.com&lt;/a&gt;@nicoauthor/b%C3%A9renger-sauni%C3%A8re-and-the-secret-of-rennes-le-ch%C3%A2teau-bloodlines-parchments-and-heresy-3776f87954ca&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35522933</link><pubDate>5/20/2026 5:45:52 AM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Maple MAGA ] A Mother Superior’s Demons  What does it mean when an entire convent of Urusline...</title><author>Maple MAGA </author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;A Mother Superior’s Demons&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://daily.jstor.org/a-mother-superiors-demons/' target='_blank'&gt;What does it mean when an entire convent of Urusline nuns appears to be possessed by demons? Many things, as it turns out.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; 				&lt;br&gt; 					&lt;img src='https://daily.jstor.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/a_mother_superiors_demons_1050x700.jpg'&gt; 				&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Soeur Jeanne&lt;/i&gt; by Charles Emmanuel Patas after Charles Monnet&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By:  			 &lt;a href='https://daily.jstor.org/daily-author/amelia-soth/' target='_blank'&gt;Amelia Soth&lt;/a&gt; 			&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;October 31, 2024 &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; 							This is the story of what happened in Loudun, France, in 1632,  when an entire convent of nuns was found to be possessed by demons. The  events described below really happened, although people over the  intervening centuries have  &lt;a href='https://www.jstor.org/stable/4091562?mag=a-mother-superiors-demons' target='_blank'&gt;interpreted&lt;/a&gt;  them in many different ways—and you will, no doubt, have your own  ideas. There are three people at the center of the story: a Mother  Superior, an exorcist, and a priest. By the end, one of them will be  famous, one will be insane, and one will be dead.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In the beginning, the nuns reported strange happenings in the  convent: they saw evil spirits wandering the halls, and one day, a huge  black ball came rolling through the refectory, knocking some nuns over.  Then they began to manifest the telltale signs of possession:  convulsions, visions, eerie strength, revulsion towards sanctified  things, and anger towards their confessors. They heard voices, laughed  uncontrollably, cried, screamed, fainted, convulsed, and seemed to be  slapped by invisible hands.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; An exorcist was called in, and it quickly became a public spectacle. Day after day, the nuns were brought to a  &lt;a href='https://www.jstor.org/stable/1343477?mag=a-mother-superiors-demons' target='_blank'&gt;scaffold&lt;/a&gt;  in the center of town, while crowds gathered to watch. Tied to chairs,  they writhed while the exorcist called forth the demons within them and  tried to force the evil spirits to reveal their names.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Soon it emerged that this was no simple case of possession, but of  witchcraft too. Specifically, the nuns pointed a finger at Urbain  Grandier—a local priest and their confessor. He was a controversial  figure, for the pamphlets in which he shared his unorthodox opinions,  his outspoken criticisms of church leaders, and his  &lt;a href='https://www.jstor.org/stable/23919959?mag=a-mother-superiors-demons' target='_blank'&gt;dalliance&lt;/a&gt; with the daughter of a local bigwig.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;img src='https://daily.jstor.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/a_mother_superiors_demons_1050.jpg'&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Urbain Grandier burned alive for witchcraft in Loudun, 1634 &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Grandier, it seems, had made too many  &lt;a href='https://www.jstor.org/stable/2671349?mag=a-mother-superiors-demons' target='_blank'&gt;powerful enemies&lt;/a&gt;.  When the nuns produced a contract between him and the Devil (a copy of  the original, apparently, which was signed in his own blood and stored  in the bowels of Hell), he was done for. He was tried for witchcraft,  found guilty, and burnt at the stake.&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://daily.jstor.org/a-mother-superiors-demons/#' target='_blank'&gt;When a spiritual oddity presented itself, then, who got to decide what it meant?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; 					 		 Grandier’s horrible fate has drawn much attention to the events at  Loudun over the years. But the truth is, in the scheme of things, mass  possessions in convents weren’t all that usual. Religious historian  Moshe Sluhovsky has  &lt;a href='https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/532851?mag=a-mother-superiors-demons' target='_blank'&gt;identified&lt;/a&gt;  at least forty-five distinct cases, most of them little known. Most  took place in orders that had recently undergone some kind of dramatic  reform. In the 1490s, for instance, a group of Florentine nuns began to  show signs of possession following the imposition of strict new rules  with the rise of the charismatic ascetic Savonarola. When the rules were  relaxed, the demons departed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; During the two decades before the mass possession at Loudun, the  Ursulines, originally a very active and public order, had been forced  into the cloister. We have one very interesting primary source on the  transition: a demon, recorded during another mass possession event, in  this case among the Ursuline sisters at Aix, in 1611. Sluhovsky writes  that the demon announced he was&lt;blockquote&gt;angry with those who live in chastity in their  monasteries; but the Ursulines make me more furious, because they save  many souls… All the demons have tried with all their might to persuade  them to desert their vocation; we explained to them that monastic walls  were most suitable for women, and that they were wrong, that their  vocation was not approved.&lt;/blockquote&gt; Possession, in this instance, might have offered the nuns a chance to  speak—though with demonic voices—on the changes that were being pressed  upon them.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; As Sluhovsky notes, another complicating factor is that there wasn’t  always a clear line between ecstatic visions and demonic possession. He  considers it&lt;blockquote&gt;of utmost importance to realize that once a possession  took place, it was not immediately clear to the nuns, their mothers  superior, their confessors, or other theologians who were witnessing the  events what the nature of the possessing agency was, and whether it was  divine or demonic. It is equally important to realize that the  discernment of spirits was not an intellectual or abstract, scholastic  exercise but rather a social practice, one that involved the possessed  nuns themselves, their friends and their enemies, their sisters,  abbesses, spiritual directors, confessors, and outside experts.&lt;/blockquote&gt; When a spiritual oddity presented itself, then, who got to decide what it meant? How do you determine who is a  &lt;a href='https://daily.jstor.org/julian-of-norwich-anchoress-and-mystic/' target='_blank'&gt;holy mystic&lt;/a&gt; and who is afflicted with  &lt;a href='https://daily.jstor.org/birthing-the-jersey-devil/' target='_blank'&gt;devils&lt;/a&gt;? And what do you do when the devils refuse to play by the rules?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; After Grandier was executed, the Mother Superior at Loudun, Jeanne  des Anges, continued to be tormented by demons. A new exorcist was  called in, a monk named Jean-Joseph Surin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; 	 Surin had a  &lt;a href='https://www.jstor.org/stable/20057960?mag=a-mother-superiors-demons' target='_blank'&gt;different approach&lt;/a&gt;  to exorcism. It would no longer be a spectacle. Rather, he would sit  quietly with the afflicted nun, read her prayers, and whisper in her ear  about finding a place of inner peace. His desire to save her was so  overpowering, that,  &lt;a href='https://doi.org/10.1353/scs.2012.0043' target='_blank'&gt;as Surin himself recalls&lt;/a&gt; (using the third person for himself),&lt;blockquote&gt;he could not keep from offering himself to the divine  Majesty to be burdened with the evil of that poor girl and to  participate in all her temptations and suffering, to the point of asking  to be possessed by the devil…&lt;/blockquote&gt; Jeanne went into a fit of  &lt;a href='https://www.jstor.org/stable/40060033?mag=a-mother-superiors-demons' target='_blank'&gt;convulsions&lt;/a&gt;.  When she emerged, her hands were marked in bloody crimson with the  names Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and Father Sales (the saint who had developed  the form of prayer Surin used in his exorcisms). The demons were  banished, but, as Surin wrote afterwards, “During my ministry, the devil  passed from the body of the possessed person and entered into mine.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Jeanne des Anges quickly became a  &lt;a href='https://www.jstor.org/stable/20685729?mag=a-mother-superiors-demons' target='_blank'&gt;celebrity&lt;/a&gt;, traveling across France to exhibit her miraculously inscribed hand. Jean-Joseph Surin, on the other hand, was  &lt;a href='https://www.jstor.org/stable/40550863?mag=a-mother-superiors-demons' target='_blank'&gt;tormented&lt;/a&gt;  for the next twenty years with maladies that he attributed to Jeanne’s  demons: suicidality, horrific physical pain, delusions, catatonia that  ultimately left him unable to speak, and intense spiritual despair. He  didn’t recover until the last few years of his life. One of his final  acts was to record the whole story in his memoirs.&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35521046</link><pubDate>5/18/2026 11:23:18 AM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Maple MAGA ] The Forgotten Untouchables of France  For centuries, a mysterious community in s...</title><author>Maple MAGA </author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;The Forgotten Untouchables of France&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://daily.jstor.org/the-forgotten-untouchables-of-france/?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-ca' target='_blank'&gt;For centuries, a mysterious community in southwestern Europe endured extreme discrimination with no clear cause.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; 					&lt;img src='https://daily.jstor.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/the_forgotten_untouchables_of_france_alt_1050x700.jpg'&gt; 				&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A procession of Cagots arrives on the banks of the Lapaca, nineteenth century &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By:  			 &lt;a href='https://daily.jstor.org/daily-author/ed-simon/' target='_blank'&gt;Ed Simon&lt;/a&gt; 			&lt;br&gt; 						May 13, 2026 						 					&lt;br&gt; 						 						9 minutes &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; 							At the center of the bucolic French Atlantic commune of  Moustey, nestled in the rolling green hills of Nouvelle-Aquitaine where  the country abuts Spain, there stands a picturesque twelfth-century  &lt;a href='https://daily.jstor.org/h-h-richardson-and-the-making-of-an-american-romanesque/' target='_blank'&gt;Romanesque&lt;/a&gt;  church of Saint-Martin. Small and simple, the church’s red-tiled roof  and whitewashed stone walls appear similar to those of any number of  other charming sanctuaries throughout southwestern France.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Going around to the side of the Saint-Martin de Moustey, a visitor  might find, beneath one of the stained-glass windows, an unremarkable  arched doorway, bricked up centuries ago and painted over. It sits  beside a yard overgrown with stinging nettle and creeping buttercup, but  its former status as an entrance of sorts is still clear.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Aside from their inherited designation of Cagot, they were indistinguishable from the French and Spanish among whom they lived.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; 					 		 As distant from the central doors of the church as is possible, it  would be easy to assume that this bricked-up passageway might have been  an old receiving portal or service entrance. In fact, the door served  neither purpose. Instead, it was a separate entrance for a hated and  despised minority who dwelled in Moustey, as well as throughout the rest  of the Landes region and into the  &lt;a href='https://daily.jstor.org/the-racial-myth-of-the-basque-sheepherder/' target='_blank'&gt;Basque&lt;/a&gt; country of Spain. They were known as the Cagots.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;img src='https://daily.jstor.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/the_forgotten_untouchables_of_france_600.jpg'&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A door for Cagots at the Saint-Martin de Moustey, via  &lt;a href='https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Moustey_SM_porte_cagots.jpg' target='_blank'&gt;Wikimedia Commons&lt;/a&gt; Spurned and reviled, when the Cagots came to Mass at Saint-Martin  (for they were Catholics), they were required to enter into the church  through this distant entryway and to worship in a segregated section of  the sanctuary. They also received holy water through separate fonts lest  their mere presence contaminate the purity of the sacramental fonts  that can still be seen today.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; 	 Now the Cagots are largely forgotten, even in France and Spain.  Perhaps a surname survives here or there, or the residual architectural  evidence of their persecution remains visible beneath paint and brick.  Yet they offer an instructive lesson about the irrational nature of  bigotry. In some sense, the hatred the Cagots faced represents  persecution in its most distilled form.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; When it comes to the issue of difference, D. Hack Tuke in an 1880 issue of &lt;i&gt;The Journal of the Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland &lt;/i&gt;noted that  &lt;a href='https://www.jstor.org/stable/2841703?mag=the-forgotten-untouchables-of-france' target='_blank'&gt;“I have been unable to obtain any evidence which marks the Cagots out as a people distinct from the surrounding inhabitants.”&lt;/a&gt;  No marker of race, ethnicity, or religion differentiated them; aside  from their inherited designation of Cagot, they were indistinguishable  from the French and Spanish among whom they lived.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Regardless of the lack of justification, the effects of anti-Cagot  bigotry were horrific. The nineteenth-century British novelist Elizabeth  Gaskell, author of &lt;i&gt;North and South, &lt;/i&gt;provided one of the few  English-language sketches of the Cagots just as liberal reforms ensured  that they functionally ceased to exist as a separate persecuted  community.  &lt;a href='https://www.jstor.org/stable/45185873?mag=the-forgotten-untouchables-of-france' target='_blank'&gt;She recounts in her 1855 story “An Accursed Race”&lt;/a&gt;  how, around 1700, a soldier in Brittany punished a Cagot who drew holy  water from a prohibited font. She writes that the soldier “cut off… [the  Cagot’s] hand, and hung it up, dripping with blood, as an offering to  the patron saint of the church.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Lurid though that particular anecdote may be, and others Gaskell  provides—such as one in which rebelling Cagots murdered oppressive town  officials and used their heads as balls in an impromptu game of  soccer—their daily persecution was no less unjust for being more  prosaic. Cagots were relegated to distinct ghettos in towns and  villages, and were mandated to dress in a particular manner to announce  their separate identity. All had to wear a badge featuring a red symbol  in the shape of a duck’s foot. They were only allowed to marry within  their own community, and when that restriction loosened, anyone from  outside who married into the group was recategorized as a Cagot. They  were also limited to certain professions, including carpentry,  rope-making, masonry, and tiling.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; As an anonymous writer in an 1870 edition of &lt;i&gt;The Catholic Telegraph &lt;/i&gt;notes, the persecution of the Cagots was  &lt;a href='https://www.jstor.org/stable/community.32157315?mag=the-forgotten-untouchables-of-france&amp;amp;searchText=Cagot+Catholic+Telegraph&amp;amp;searchUri=%2Faction%2FdoBasicSearch%3FQuery%3DCagot%2BCatholic%2BTelegraph%26so%3Drel&amp;amp;ab_segments=0%2Fbasic_search_gsv2%2Fcontrol&amp;amp;refreqid=fastly-default%3Add7a773237646213d7eb839767b482f4&amp;amp;seq=1' target='_blank'&gt;“not only a popular prejudice; the law consecrated and set its seal about this inconceivable act of barbarity,”&lt;/a&gt;  whereby they were “legally separated from the human species…[for] they  could not devote themselves to any profession, nor live by any peaceful  or congenial occupation, nor mingle their blood with that of a society  which regarded them as objects of horror.” Much of the treatment of the  Cagots echoes that of other scapegoated medieval minorities, such as  various Christian heretical groups and, of course, the Jewish community;  however, historians have been unable to identify even a spurious  justification for their treatment. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What does it mean when an entire convent of Urusline nuns appears to be possessed by demons? Many things, as it turns out.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  		 Naturally there has long been an interest in understanding why the  Cagots were such a despised minority. Various hypotheses have been  proffered as to an assumed original identity. Noting that in 1517 the  Consul of Navarre had declared that discourse between Cagots and “other  Christians was very dangerous and transmitted contagion,” Emma Wilby  observes in &lt;i&gt;Invoking the Akelarre: Voices of the Accused in the Basque Witch-Craze, 1609-1614 &lt;/i&gt;that the group was “Often associated with lepers.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Certainly an epidemiological justification for their exclusion, or at  least an association with disease, was explicit in the codes against  Cagots. These ranged from their separate fonts for holy water to the  long spoon on which a priest would offer them the eucharist so that he  could avoid getting too close to them. Yet this imputation of disease  appears based more on fantasy than reality. Even physiognomically,  sources contradict one another as to whether—or how—the Cagots differed  from other residents in the Pyrenees. An 1866 article in &lt;i&gt;The Anthropological Review &lt;/i&gt;describes them as being  &lt;a href='https://www.jstor.org/stable/3024950?mag=the-forgotten-untouchables-of-france' target='_blank'&gt;“deeply bronzed, with crisp wooly hair, grey eyes, and high cheekbones,”&lt;/a&gt; while  &lt;a href='https://www.jstor.org/stable/community.32157315?mag=the-forgotten-untouchables-of-france&amp;amp;searchText=Cagot+Catholic+Telegraph&amp;amp;searchUri=%2Faction%2FdoBasicSearch%3FQuery%3DCagot%2BCatholic%2BTelegraph%26so%3Drel&amp;amp;ab_segments=0%2Fbasic_search_gsv2%2Fcontrol&amp;amp;refreqid=fastly-default%3Add7a773237646213d7eb839767b482f4&amp;amp;seq=1' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Catholic Telegraph &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;claimed  that the “only signs which served to distinguish them from the southern  population were their weak and blueish eyes, their pale complexions,  and their long light hair.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The origin of the Cagots is also contradictory. G.W. Dasent and C. Haughton Gill in an 1872 issue of &lt;i&gt;The Journal of the Society of Arts &lt;/i&gt; &lt;a href='http://www.jstor.org/stable/41324025?mag=the-forgotten-untouchables-of-france' target='_blank'&gt;offer an etymology of “Cagot”&lt;/a&gt;  as being “a corruption of Cams Golhicus, ’dog of a Goth,’ [which] was  applied to the descendants of the warriors of the great Alaric, who once  had filled all southern Europe.” Six years later, C.F. Keary in &lt;i&gt;The Numismatic Chronicle and Journal of the Numismatic Society &lt;/i&gt;proffers an opposing explanation, explaining that the name of the group  &lt;a href='http://www.jstor.org/stable/42681009?mag=the-forgotten-untouchables-of-france' target='_blank'&gt;“may have been applied to the Saracens as expellers of the Goths.”&lt;/a&gt;  Other sources claim that the Cagots were not descendants of Iberian  Muslims, but rather that they had originally been Jewish. Meanwhile,  Wilby noted that the Cagots “endured a long-standing association with  heretics,” with members of the community themselves claiming to be  connected to the Cathar heresy of twelfth-century Provence. However,  references to the Cagots predate that period, and the heresy was never  present in Navarre. &lt;i&gt;The Anthropological Review &lt;/i&gt;suggests a Cagot  origin almost diametrically opposed to their supposed beginnings  amongst heretics, noting that some claim they are the “descendants of  Christians of the primitive Church persecuted and driven into the  hills.” Ironically, they were persecuted by the descendants of their  pagan tormentors, who had themselves subsequently converted to  Christianity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; More idiosyncratically, Graham Robb recently conjectured that the  Cagots were related to Medieval guilds associated with woodworking,  rope-weaving, and masonry, which had run afoul of civil authorities and  had been punished long after anyone remembered what the original  indiscretion that merited such treatment may have been. Regardless of  the proliferation of potential explanations, none of them have any  supporting evidence beyond the flimsiest of associations or  coincidences, which is to say that a millennium after they appear in the  historical record, we still don’t know why the Cagots were persecuted,  much less who they were. Indeed,  &lt;a href='http://www.jstor.org/stable/45185812?mag=the-forgotten-untouchables-of-france' target='_blank'&gt;as Gaskell observed&lt;/a&gt;,  they “were not easily distinguished by casual passers-by from other men  [and because of this] were compelled to wear some distinctive  peculiarity which should arrest the eye.” Were it not for the red tunic  and the mark of a duck’s foot, nobody would even know that you were a  Cagot.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; 		 			&lt;br&gt;What exactly Cagot culture was like—for  any community ostracized and separated for so long must have developed  its own unique attributes—is now lost to history.&lt;br&gt; 					 		 As the history of racism demonstrates, perceived difference need not  be real to have an effect on the material realities of a community. By  every criterion listed in journalist Isabel Wilkerson’s &lt;i&gt; &lt;a href='https://www.nationalbook.org/books/caste-the-origins-of-our-discontents/' target='_blank'&gt;Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;/i&gt;the  Cagots could be classified as a type of “untouchable.” Their  persecution was justified by recourse to divine will; their status was  heritable; intermarriage with them was prohibited; the rhetoric of  impurity was used to describe the community; they were limited to  circumscribed professions; association with them carried stigma; the  majority viewed themselves as inherently superior; and they were  controlled through the threat of cruelty (think of that hand nailed to  the door, skeletal by the time Gaskell saw it). The Cagots were, as  Ibrahim K.

Gaskell’s writing is the  rare source in English to address the Cagots, though they also appear as  a plot point in Rachel Kushner’s recent novel &lt;i&gt;Creation Lake&lt;/i&gt;.  The bulk of what does exist dates to the nineteenth-century, and the  suffering of this forgotten group remains as obscured as a stooped  doorway in Moustey.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Shirley Foster, in &lt;i&gt;The Gaskell Society Journal, &lt;/i&gt;argues that the author’s purpose was to provide a  &lt;a href='http://www.jstor.org/stable/45185873?mag=the-forgotten-untouchables-of-france' target='_blank'&gt;“deconstruction of this superstitious racism, which is historicized as cruel and irrational prejudice.”&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;The Catholic Telegraph &lt;/i&gt; &lt;a href='https://www.jstor.org/stable/community.32157315?mag=the-forgotten-untouchables-of-france&amp;amp;searchText=Cagot+Catholic+Telegraph&amp;amp;searchUri=%2Faction%2FdoBasicSearch%3FQuery%3DCagot%2BCatholic%2BTelegraph%26so%3Drel&amp;amp;ab_segments=0%2Fbasic_search_gsv2%2Fcontrol&amp;amp;refreqid=fastly-default%3Add7a773237646213d7eb839767b482f4&amp;amp;seq=1' target='_blank'&gt;similarly observes&lt;/a&gt;  that the Cagots were “guiltless of angst that should have subjected  them to an expiation so long and terrible.” Their persecution, lacking  even a pretense of justification, underscores the irrationality of such  hatreds: if prejudice against the Cagots was baseless, so too was  hostility towards more visibly obvious religious or racial minorities.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Tuke writes that “it was not until the time of the French Revolution  that their unhappy lot was greatly ameliorated.” Revolution’s  universalizing philosophy of liberation, similarly responsible for the  Jewish emancipation during the eighteenth century, was integral to the  Cagots’ freedom, suggesting the kind of ideological shift required to  exorcize such bigotry. And yet, as Tuke observes, even in the nineteenth  century, “a remnant of the old stigma” remained, so that across  Brittany, Navarre, and Landes a “certain number of families belonging to  the race, hitherto regarded as infamous and accursed… are still living  under the stroke of a kind of blight, imposed… by public opinion.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Reference to the group as a living community dwindled in the  twentieth century, a tragic consequence of the fact that persecution had  been the only ingredient sustaining the group’s cohesion and identity.  What exactly Cagot culture was like—for any community ostracized and  separated for so long must have developed its own unique attributes—is  now lost to history. Any lessons the Cagots would have had to teach us  about survival and endurance remain unlearned. Ironically, the only  permanent evidence of their culture lies in the architecture of  exclusion, expressed in a segregated font or a bricked-up doorway. The  Cagots themselves, as skilled craftsmen, were the builders of many of  the churches across the Pyrenees, which had built into their very  foundations the inequity of their contractors’ treatment. Churches in  which the Cagots would sit and hear a priest intone from Galatians that  there is “neither Jew nor Greek… bond nor free… male nor female: for ye  are all one,” before serving them communion upon a long spoon lest he be  contaminated by his own parishioners’ supposed impurity.&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35521037</link><pubDate>5/18/2026 11:15:16 AM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Maple MAGA ] I like it..

I’m posting it here as a reminder that the Louvre  has been a jihad target in the past, and will undoubtedly be targeted  again in the future.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Many thanks to  &lt;a href='http://garyfouse.blogspot.com/' target='_blank'&gt;Gary Fouse&lt;/a&gt; for translating this  &lt;a href='https://www.20minutes.fr/faits_divers/4223044-20260511-arrestation-tunisien-suspecte-preparer-attaque-terroriste-contre-louvre' target='_blank'&gt;article&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;i&gt;20 minutes&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;b&gt;Tunisian suspected of planning a terrorist attack against the Louvre or the Jewish community&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Jihadism: A Tunisian suspected of planning an attack targeting the  Louvre and the Jewish community in Paris was formally charged and  detained on Monday as part of an anti-terrorist investigation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; On Monday, the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s Office (Pnat)  announced the arrest of a 27-year-old Tunisian, suspected of planning “a  violent, jihadist-inspired act” in France. The man was placed in  custody and jailed as part of an anti-terrorism investigation, opened by  the Pnat.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; According to a source close to the case, the suspect was planning an  act targeted “at a Parisian museum, as well as members of the Jewish  community, but without a specific target.” The investigation was  launched in the framework of a preliminary inquiry opened on May 6 into  “conspiracy to commit terrorist crimes against persons”. According to  our colleagues at &lt;i&gt;Le Monde&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Le Parisien&lt;/i&gt;, the museum is thought to be the Louvre Museum.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;The suspect was arrested at the end of April&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; According to &lt;i&gt;Le Monde&lt;/i&gt;, the case began with a police check in  the center of Paris on April 28. This man, arrested because he was  driving a car with a false driver’s license, resides in La  Garenne-Colombes, a Paris suburb, and was taken into custody and then  placed in a center for administrative detention, for not possessing a  valid residence permit. Born in Djerba in 1999, he arrived in France in  2022 from Lampedusa looking for work, according to the newspaper. He was  then arrested on May 7.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Also, according to the daily newspaper, the analysis of his cell  phone revealed the presence of numerous videos of jihadist propaganda  and hundreds of photos of firearms and knives. On his social media,  Dhafer M. utilizes as his profile the image of an Islamic State fighter  executing prisoners. Some searches on ChatGPT with questions such as  “how to fabricate a bomb,” or the damage caused by TNT were also  retrieved from his phone, says &lt;i&gt;Le Monde&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;b&gt;He also intended to join Daesh [ISIS]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The case has been assigned to the General Direction of Interior  Security (DGSI) and the Anti-Terrorist Section of the Criminal Brigade.  The Pnat specifies that the target of the inquiry is also “suspected, on  the one hand, of fomenting a violent, jihadist plan of action, and on  the other hand, planning a hijra.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The Anti-Terror Prosecutor’s Office states that this hijra (exile to a  Muslim land) corresponded to a planned departure to join the ranks of  the Islamic State “in Syria or Mozambique”. Following the detention  order on Monday, Pnat requested the opening of a judicial investigation.&lt;/blockquote&gt; 			&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35519487</link><pubDate>5/16/2026 2:07:15 AM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Maple MAGA ] Muslims a Source of Social Disruption in France   May 15, 2026 10:00 am   By  Hu...</title><author>Maple MAGA </author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;Muslims a Source of Social Disruption in France &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;May 15, 2026 10:00 am &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By  &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/author/laszlo' target='_blank'&gt;Hugh Fitzgerald&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/2026/05/muslims-a-source-of-social-disruption-in-france#comments' target='_blank'&gt;2 Comments&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Italian  journalist Giulio Meotti’s latest dispatch from the front: “French  capitulation to Islam: Libert&amp;#233;, &amp;#233;galit&amp;#233;, soumission,” by Giulio Meotti,  &lt;a href='https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/426939' target='_blank'&gt;Israel National News&lt;/a&gt;, May 12, 2026:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;When Secretary of State for Equality Marl&amp;#232;ne Schiappa  decided to move for three days to the city of Trappes to demonstrate  attention toward cities with high immigration rates, she tried to stop  at a bar “where women are not welcome.” The prefect invited the minister  to continue on her way “to avoid an incident.”…&lt;/blockquote&gt; The Secretary of State for Equity visiting Trappes got a taste of the  gender segregation herself; it’s Muslims imposing Sharia informally —  no laws are needed — on everyone. Did she stand her ground, and demand  to be served a glass of wine, or did she take the hint from the prefect  about possible violence and choose to move on? It sound like the latter,  and if so, she had a good lesson on how Muslims, using the threat of  violence, are imposing their rules on non-Muslims.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;The Algerian poet Kamel Bencheikh denounced what happened  to his daughter in Paris’s nineteenth arrondissement. “She was waiting  for the bus with a friend. When it arrived, the driver stopped, looked  at them, and drove away without opening the doors.” The driver told  Bencheikh’s daughter, who was wearing a miniskirt: “Dress properly.”…&lt;/blockquote&gt; A Muslim driver imposes the Muslim dress code — “dress properly” — in  the middle of Paris. Would he have done so if the girl had obviously  been a non-Muslim? Probably. It’s one more example of the spread of  Sharia rules through enforcement by Muslim “civilians” just doing what  they see as their Islamic duty.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;.In Bordeaux, shops have emerged asking “sisters” to come on Saturdays and Sundays and “brothers” on weekdays….&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Crowmus.jpg' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Crowmus-300x174.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A Carrion Crow, on a Muslim crescent, Mosqu&amp;#233;e de Paris, France by Jebulon, Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 These shops in Bordeaux are enforcing gender segregation by insisting  on women-only weekends, and men-only weekdays. These rules violate  French laws, but will the French police position themselves at the  entries to these shops and escort male shoppers in on weekends and  female shoppers in on weekdays? No, of course not. They have better  things to do with their time. De minimus non curat lex.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;200,000 Jews have already left France in thirty years.&lt;/blockquote&gt; Those 200,000 Jews left France for only one reason: the antisemitism  that Muslim migrants have brought with them, undeclared, in their mental  baggage, and have spread the virus to others.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Now that Muslims constitute 10% of the population in France, they  have taken over whole neighborhoods, hundreds of “No-Go Areas” where  non-Muslims fear to tread, and even the firemen and police enter only  with heavy security. Muslims are a source of social disruption, and at  times provoke violent conflict with the forces of order. Many French  women in cities no longer go out alone in the evenings. Many Jews do not  wear their kippahs in public. Both are targets of Muslims.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The Muslims are taught in the Qur’an to despise the indigenous  French, whom they regard, just as they do all non-Muslims, as “the most  vile of created beings.” They are the cause of a steep rise in crimes;  Muslims make up 10% of the population, but at least 70% of the prison  population in France. They take full advantage of every benefit the  general welfare state of France provides: free or highly subsidized  housing, free medical care, free education, unemployment benefits even  without a work record, family benefits, and more. This costs French  taxpayers at least twenty billion euros each year.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In short, the large-scale presence of Muslims in France has created a  situation that for the indigenous French is far more unpleasant,  expensive, and physically dangerous than would be the case without that  large-scale presence.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; What Meotti states is all, harrowingly, alarmingly, true, and most of  the French population, as well as other Europeans, still seems  oblivious to what is happening. What Meotti does not seem to recognize  are the hopeful signs. In France, where he has seen the signs of growing  Islamizaion, he fails to mention the sudden upsurge in the polls of  support for the National Rally, and the appearance — cometh the hour,  cometh the man — of Jordan Bardella, age 30, a young Lochinvar with a  clear-eyed understanding of what the influx of millions of Muslims has  meant for France, and what must be done both to stop that increase in  Muslim numbers, and to bring them steadily down.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35519049</link><pubDate>5/15/2026 1:35:46 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Tom Clarke] Gad Saad: "The West is a woman to be mounted."

His latest  dispatch from the front can be found here: “French capitulation to  Islam:Libert&amp;#233;, &amp;#233;galit&amp;#233;, soumission,” by Giulio Meotti,  &lt;a href='https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/426939' target='_blank'&gt;Israel National News&lt;/a&gt;, May 12, 2026:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; The French R&amp;#233;publique is  submitting itself, neighborhood after neighborhood, bistro after bistro,  with the same elegance with which it once guillotined its kings.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The Enlightenment has been  digested in a single Ramadan and the nation that invented the rights of  man and secularism is turning itself halal without even the modesty of  an explicit conversion. It is a creeping surrender, bureaucratic,  commercial, smelling of fear and terminal goodism.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Even fast-food chains are adapting to sharia: locals in Lyon with rooms to pray to Allah.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; All that was missing was the R&amp;#233;publique en djellaba turning itself into a catering service for Islamization.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In Submission, Michel Houellebecq has a character say: “Old Bat Ye’or is not wrong with her phantom of the Eurabia conspiracy.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; “Eurabia is not a conspiracy!” Bat Ye’or boldly replied this week in the&lt;i&gt; Journal du dimanche:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; “Eurabia is not a conspiracy.  The Euro-Arab fusion policy became official with the Barcelona Pact  (1995). The denial of public and established facts does not prove a  conspiracy, but an equally established concealment. At the time, I  perceived in Europe social behaviors that evoked those of dhimmitude,  but I did not yet see the pathways or networks that were implanting in  the heart of twentieth-century European societies social schemes dating  back to the Muslim Middle Ages and conforming to sharia.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; “Still active today in most  Muslim countries, these dynamics derive from jihad, a set of theological  and legal directives dictating relations between Muslims and  non-Muslims. We are living through a transitional period: that of the  passage from a European country of Judeo-Christian culture to an  Islamo-Christian state, a stage toward its Islamization.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In Vienna, Islam is now the  majority religion in public schools. They tried twice to conquer Vienna  (and Europe) militarily; now they are entering step by step.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Anyone entering certain  suburbs and town centers today has the impression of having landed in  another civilization, except that nobody had the courage to declare the  change of sovereignty.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In Lyon, now 30 percent  Islamic, Alexandre Dallery announced that his bakery no longer sells  pork-based products. No more salami, ham, lard, or bacon. On Facebook,  Dallery spoke of “various pressures over several months to make  everything halal. To calm things down, we no longer sell ham. Otherwise  they burn everything down.”…&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;a href='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/FR_Society_38_Muslim_in_Montmartre_4977990504.jpg' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='https://jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/FR_Society_38_Muslim_in_Montmartre_4977990504-300x174.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Muslim in Montmartre by Francisco Osorio, Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Dallery, with Muslims threatening arson terrorizing him, in order to  prevent such an outcome has “voluntarily” stopped selling all pork  products in his boulangerie.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;In Ard&amp;#232;che, cinemas refuse to screen the film “Persepolis” so as not to upset Muslim students….&lt;/blockquote&gt; The movie is about a young girl growing up in Iran during the Islamic  revolution. The regime of the mullahs are shown, properly, as fanatic  Islamofascists. This was an important movie, but the move theatre in  Ard&amp;#232;che would not screen it, as the owners feared violence from local  Muslims. Had they been made of sterner stuff, they would have called for  police security at the theatre, declared publicly that, after all,  those Muslim students who object to the film could simply avoid seeing  the movie themselves, and that they had no right to deprive others of  seeing such an important film.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;In the historic center of Bordeaux, an Afghan stabbed two  people, killing one and seriously wounding the other. He had reproached  them for “boire un coup,” drinking alcohol, on the day of Eid al-Fitr,  the celebration marking the end of Ramadan….&lt;/blockquote&gt; It’s unclear if the people stabbed were Muslims, and he was enforcing  in homicidal fashion Islamic rules for Believers, which in Western  societies is impermissible, or whether those he stabbed were  non-Muslims, which would be an even greater infraction, using deadly  force (and killing one person) to enforce a rule that applies only to  Muslims.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;A principal is threatened with death for asking a student to remove her veil in class….&lt;/blockquote&gt; French law prohibits “conspicuous” religious clothing, including  hijabs, in public schools. But after enraged Muslims murdered teachers  Samuel Paty and Dominique Bernard, what teachers or principals would not  find Muslim threats terrifying and modify their behavior accordingly —  including enforcing that anti-hijab rule?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Giulio Meotti claims that “the presidential elections of 2027 will be  the last opportunity to stop French suicide (and perhaps it may already  be too late).”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Such defeatism is premature. The National Rally, with the articulate  and charismatic Jordan Bardella as its new head (now that Marine Le Pen  has been prevented from running for office for five years), now leads  all the other parties, and if Bardella wins in 2027 and becomes prime  minister, among his first acts will be to call a total halt to Muslim  migrants, and to start enforcing deportation orders that a lax  government has failed to enforce. Bardella will also greatly increase  the numbers of deportations, applying it to all migrants who are  convicted of crimes, and also to those migrants who refuse to work for  their benefits, in menial jobs offered by the government.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35518081</link><pubDate>5/14/2026 5:02:36 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Maple MAGA ] I love British satire...

Look at the fucking theatre of it. Look at the sheer absurdity. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A  grown man wearing a diamond-encrusted crown worth more than entire  towns, reading words written for him by unelected handlers, pretending  this is modern civilisation instead of the last rotting carcass of  feudalism dressed up with better cameras and cleaner propaganda. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And what was he actually reading? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;More control. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;More bureaucracy. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;More fucking regulation. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;More promises from the exact same machine that created the collapse in the first place. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Talking  about “strengthening public services”, “modernising Britain”,  “security”, “digital reform”, “public accountability”, “online  protections”, “new powers”, “economic growth”, “national resilience”,  endless piles of legislation stacked on top of legislation while  ordinary people are worked into the fucking ground just trying to  survive another month. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You’ve got this ancient ceremonial relic,  dressed like a medieval emperor, reading out plans for more digital  systems, more regulation, more surveillance, more state intervention,  more centralised control, while pretending it’s all about “fairness” and  “safety”. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You genuinely could not invent a more dystopian image if you tried. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It looks like something out of the fucking Capitol in Hunger Games. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Gold everywhere. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thrones. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jewels. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Guards in costumes. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ancient rituals. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Billion-pound estates. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;While the peasants sit at home wondering if they can afford eggs and electric this week. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You’ve  got people doing 50-hour weeks, parents skipping meals so their kids  can eat, pensioners freezing in their homes, young families buried in  rent and debt, while this lot sit under chandeliers worth millions  talking about “service”. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Service to who exactly? Because it sure as fuck isn’t the public. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;These people have never lived like normal people for a single second of their lives. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Private  guards, private chefs, private doctors, private drivers, private  estates, private schools, private everything, funded by the same public  they emotionally blackmail into believing they somehow “represent the  nation”. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Represent the nation? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They don’t even represent  reality.    And the weirdest fucking part is people still clap for it.  That’s the real psychological operation. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They’ve convinced millions of people that bowing to bloodlines is somehow noble instead of humiliating. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Full-grown  adults standing in the rain waving little flags at a family whose  entire existence is based on the idea that they were born more important  than you because of who slid out of whose womb hundreds of years ago. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Strip away the orchestra music, the uniforms and the fake dignity, and it’s absolutely fucking insane. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If any politician stood up today and proposed this system from scratch, people would think it was satire. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“Right everyone, hear me out. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We’re  going to give one family billions of pounds, castles, jewels, military  ceremonies, constitutional privilege and lifelong protection because  their ancestors conquered people with swords.” &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You’d get laughed straight out of the room. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But because it’s old, people defend it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That’s how deep the conditioning goes. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They call it “tradition” because “national humiliation” doesn’t sound as marketable. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The whole thing is one giant ritual of class supremacy. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A public display of power designed to remind ordinary people who still sits above them. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They  roll out the crown, the robes, the gold carriage, the ancient language,  the guards, the jewels, the ceremonies, all to maintain the illusion  that these people are somehow special instead of just beneficiaries of a  centuries-old racket. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And there he is, sat on a throne made of  stolen wealth, literally telling struggling people about economic  responsibility and national duty while wearing enough diamonds to feed  entire communities for generations. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You honestly couldn’t write a more insulting image if you tried.”&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35517221</link><pubDate>5/13/2026 10:05:05 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Maple MAGA ] [X]

[/X]&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Why is the white girl “dirty”? It isn’t at its core a racial issue. The  man who spoke those words was likely working from the assumption that is  encapsulated in this Qur’an verse: “O you who believe, the idolaters  only are unclean….” (Qur’an 9:28) The unbelievers are unclean, and also  must be humiliated, as is the mandate in the verse immediately following  that one, wherein the Qur’an tells Muslims to fight to ensure that “the  people of the book” “feel themselves subdued” (9:29). Rape is a tool of  that humiliation.&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=35515995</link><pubDate>5/12/2026 7:43:10 PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
