FRENCH INTERPRETATION OF FREE SPEECH

That’s funny. European politicians joined together in solidarity to rejoice in the beauty of free speech. I guess their interpretation of free is different than mine. If you agree with their government approved speech, than it’s OK. If not, they arrest you.

The French are going to use this incident as the reason to create their own Patriot Act. Rather than supporting the right to free speech, they will take away more liberties and freedoms from their citizens. It was so predictable. And the sheep will stand idly by while they are led to slaughter.

PARIS — France’s prime minister announced he would seek tighter surveillance of convicted extremists Tuesday and reports emerged that the weapons used by a terror cell to kill 17 people around Paris came from outside the country.

In a rousing, indignant speech, Prime Minister Manuel Valls said “serious and very high risks remain” and warned the French not to let down their guard. He called for new surveillance of imprisoned radicals and told the interior minister to come up with new security proposals shortly.

In a sign that French judicial authorities were using laws against defending terrorism to their fullest extent, a man who had praised the terror attacks in a drunken rant to police was swiftly sentenced Monday to four years in prison.

French Comedian Arrested Over Sympathizing With Charlie Hebdo Killer

Yesterday we discussed the crackdown on ‘extremism’ around the world (and its potential implications for freedom). Today, as The Guardian reports, notorious French comedian Dieudonné M’bala M’bala is now intimately aware of the implications, having been arrested for being an “apologist for terrorism” after suggesting on Facebook that he sympathised with one of the Paris gunmen.

As The Independent reports, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls attacked Dieudonné, calling him a “peddler of hate and said there should be no confusion between the ‘impertinent’ satire of Charlie Hebdo and ‘anti-semitism, racism and negationism’.”

In an open letter, the comedian claimed on Tuesday that he had been misunderstood.

 

The comedian made international headlines in 2013 when French footballer Nicolas Anelka was banned for five matches by English football authorities for using a gesture created by Dieudonné that many consider to echo the Nazi salute.

His original statement on his Facebook page was as follows:

“After this historic, no legendary, march, a magic moment equal to the Big Bang which created the Universe, or in a smaller (more local) way comparable to the crowning of the (ancient Gaullish king) Vercingétorix, I am going home. Let me say that this evening, as far as I am concerned, I feel I am Charlie Coulibaly.”

What he had meant to say on Facebook, he said, was that “I am considered like another Amedy Coulibaly when in fact I am no different from Charlie.”

The same day a Saudi official marched in Paris for free speech, his country – the one that persecutes/jails writers/activists and considers women drivers terrorists – dragged jailed blogger Raif Badawi into the public square and flogged him 50 times for “insulting Islam,” the first of 20 scheduled floggings.

Four of the 54 arrested in France are minors. One person has already been sentenced to 5 years in prison. Prosecutors throughout the country are arresting people for “hate speech, anti-Semitism and glorifying terrorism”. Krist. Can’t even criticize da Joos. They’re even worse than the Chatham police.

Don’t we have some fucker from France that posts here … tells us how great France is? Yeah, he can go suck my nut-sack.

Overall, though, not that big a deal. The frogs haven’t had anything worth saying for the past hundred years.

And didn’t I see David Cameron marching in Paris while 2 British cartoonists are in jail for distributing Holocaust cartoons?

Oh, I see, we support freedom of speech, just not in our countries.

False flag??? I don’t know. Real or not all TPTb are the same . ” Never let a good crisis go to waste.”

They will do whatever they can to solidify their position. They just want to stay on top.

These “leaders” are hypocritical limp dicks. They talk a good game, but it’s just rhetoric. Shameful.

Would you believe It? Most French resent both what happened to Charlie Hebdo and what happens to Dieudonné. France cares about free speech, the French politicians – not really.

“…, or in a smaller (more local) way comparable to the crowning of the (ancient Gaullish king) Vercingétorix, …”

Vercingetorix revolted against the Roman empire, seems to me Dieudonne is calling Frances leaders muppets to the empire and that is what got him in trouble
