PARIS
– France is considering banning performances by a black
comedian whose shows have repeatedly insulted the memory of Holocaust
victims and could threaten public order, Interior Minister Manuel
Valls said on Friday. He said his ministry is studying legal ways to
ban shows by Dieudonné
M’bala M’bala, a comedian repeatedly fined for
hate speech who ran in the 2009 European Parliament elections at the
head of an “Anti-Zionist
List” including far-right activists. Valls announced the move
after Jewish groups complained to Pres Hollande about Dieudonné’s
trademark straight-arm gesture, which they call a “Nazi salute
in reverse” and link to a growing frequency of [Allegedly]
anti-Semitic remarks and acts in France. Valls said in a statement
announcing the legal review aimed at banning his public appearances:
Dieudonné M’bala M’bala doesn’t seem to recognize any limits any more. From one comment to the next, as he has shown in several television shows, he attacks the memory of Holocaust victims in an obvious and unbearable way.
France has Europe’s largest Jewish minority, estimated at about 600,000, but also sees a steady emigration to Israel of Jews who say they no longer feel safe here. In the worst recent anti-Semitic incident, a French Islamist killed a rabbi and three pupils at a Jewish school last year in the southwestern French city of Toulouse. Dieudonné, as he is known on stage, has responded to the criticism from prominent Jewish figures by threatening to sue them for linking his gesture, a downward straight arm touched at the shoulder by the opposite hand, to the Hitler salute. He calls the gesture “la quenelle,” the word for an elongated creamed fish dumpling, and says it stands for his anti-Zionist and anti-establishment views, not anti-Semitism. The gesture has gone viral on social media recently, with mostly young fans displaying it at parties and sports events. Some do it while in the audience at live television shows. Two soldiers were sanctioned by the army in September for making the gesture in uniform in front of a Paris synagogue. Roger Cukierman, head of the CRIF umbrella group of Jewish organizations, said after complaining about it to Hollande last week:
It’s the Nazi salute in reverse. Very clearly, Mr Dieudonné is developing a nearly professional anti-Semitism under the cover of telling jokes.
Dieudonné, 46, Paris-born son of a Cameroonian father and French mother, began his comedy career with a Jewish sidekick in the early 1990s and appeared in several films. Originally active with anti-racist left-wing groups, he began openly criticizing Jews and Israel in 2002 and ran in the European elections two years later with a pro-Palestinian party. He has been fined several times in France for defaming Jews. Police broke up his one-man-show in a Brussels theater last year for suspected anti-Semitic hate speech, but he was not convicted. When Radio France’s Patrick Cohen asked on air last week if the media should pay so much attention to him, Dieudonné suggested the journalist should get ready to emigrate.

Amazing stuff is happening in France. It all
began with a relatively well-known French-Cameroonian
comedian, Dieudonné
M'bala M'bala was
invited to participate on a TV show on the channel France 3. The
show also featured a Maghrebian artist and Dieudonne decided to
impersonate an extremist Israeli settled infuriated by the presence
of an Arab on a French show (for those of you who understand French,
you can see an excerpt of his appearance that day here).
Dieudonne
who, in the past, had always enjoyed ridiculing pretty much every
segment of French society clearly had never expected the hysterical
uproar that his humor would trigger that day:
the huge constellation of French Zionists organizations lead by the
notorious CRIF ("Representative Committee of Jewish
organizations in France" - the
French version of AIPAC)
immediately attacked Dieudonne, suing him for racists comments and
suing him for "anti-Semitism" (a criminal offense in
France). This was hardly the first time that the French Zionist mob
had decided to crush an outspoken critic of its role in French
politics or its unconditional support for the last racist state on
the planet: Israel. But this time, the Ziomob miscalculated,
badly.
Dieudonne began making the
accusations of anti-Semitism made against him a central piece of his
shows. Here is a sampling of the kind of the hilarious skits
Dieudonne came up with:
Les
racistes anonymes
Dieudonne et Faurisson au Zenith de Paris
This
was not at all what the Ziomobsters in France had hoped to achieve
when they attacked Dieudonne for his appearance on France 3. In
response to his defiant stance, they then used their total control
over the French political class to shut down his shows under the
pretext that they would "threaten the public order".
Dieudonne immediately replied that France is capable of providing
the security needed for an event like the G8 summit, but not to let
one comedian make his show.
Still,
while in the past he had filled the biggest concert halls in France,
Dieudonne was forced to perform his skits in a rented bus (you can
see a report about this here).
But Dieudo, has he is known, had one more thing up his sleeve.
His
logic was simple: if I cannot use my freedom of speech as a
comedian, why not use it as a politician?
Dieudo
had already tried one to run for office a couple of times, but he
never achieved any measure of success. This time, however, he came
up with a stunning argument. Basically, Dieudo claims that the
Left-Right chasm is an artificial and meaningless chasm in French
politics and that the real issue which separates the parties in
France is their
attitude towards the Zionist ideology, the state of Israel, and the
role of the Israel Lobby in France.
Check out his press conference here:
Conference
de presse de Dieudonne 1
Conference de presse de Dieudonne 2
Conference de presse de Dieudonne 3
Conference de presse de Dieudonne 4
Needless
to say, the French political elites had a total hysterical breakdown
at such inpudence. Doubleplusgoodthinking reporters
and commentators declared that his political party had to be banned
and
that
Dieudonne
was probably mentally insane (the
latter reminds me of the old trick invented by Yuri Andropov's KGB
who used to declared that Soviet dissidents were "obviously"
insane because how could any mentally sane person oppose the Soviet
rule: QED).
Still,
Dieudo did not back down and he has recently presented some of the
members of his political movement "the Anti-Zionist Movement"
running as candidates for the European Parliament. Here is the press
conference of this event:
Conference
de presse liste UE 1
Conference
de presse liste UE 2
Conference
de presse liste UE 3
Conference
de presse liste UE 4
Candidats
du Parti anti-sioniste: presentation
What
is most interesting in this list is that its candidates come from
every political movement imaginable. Unionists, nationalist
conservatives, Roman-Catholics, Muslims, ex-Communists, Socialists,
etc. Ethnically, everybody is also present. It appears that the
Zionist threat is truly uniting many of those who until recently
were virulently opposed to each other.
What
is the potential of this political movement?
On
one hand, the entire weight of the French political establishment is
now coming crashing down on Dieudonne. Every politician, every
newspaper, every commentator either completely ignores Dieudonne and
his movement or, when they speak of him at all, it is with a
vitriolic loathing which cannot be imagined. The French newspaper
even calls him a "comedian" in quotation marks, showing
that such a hideous figure as Dieudonne cannot be called a comedian
or somebody who makes people laugh. The fury of the establishment is
such that I find it very likely that Dieudonne's political movement
will be simply banned and declared a criminal organization (in
France, the membership in an organization declared illegal is
considered a crime in itself). If not, Dieudonne might do very, very
well.
The
fact is that there are literally millions of French citizens from
all parts of the society who are sick and tired of being ruled by a
small group of mutually interchangeable elite (all of which is 100%
loyal to anything Zionist or Israeli). The fact is that in the
French "banlieue" (suburbs) there are hundred of thousands
of Muslims who are outraged by the events in Gaza, the war in Iraq,
the war in Afghanistan and the constant threats against Iran. The
fact is that the economic crisis had hit France - and the rest of
the Eurozone - very badly and that more and more people are making
the link between the Israeli-American model of globalization and the
economic collapse of the world markets. In fact, I would say tha the
potential of Dieudonne's movement is huge and that it represents a
very real threat to the French and, beyond that, USraelien elites in
the West.
The
fact that Dieudonne himself is (half) Black, and that he succeeded
in federating very different currents of the French society under
his stance will make it impossible to simply ignore him. Can the
French political establishment engage Dieudonne and prevail over him
in an open political debate? Not in a million years. Banning
Dieudonne's political party will, at best, be a stop-gap solution as
we can be certain that Dieudo will sue the French courts in Brussels
and that, if needed, he will simply re-compose his movement under
another name.
Under
the infulence of the recent immigrants to France, the French society
is changing and it appears that while the "native" French
did not have the wits and guts to take on the Ziomob in power, those
who immigrated to France do have what it takes.
It
is amazing to listen to these recent immigrants defending the
secular and multi-ethnics nature of the French Republic and
denoucing the ethnic and tribal nature of Jewish ortanizations in
France. For example, Dieudo was once asked what he thought of the
attemps made by such French Blacks to create an organization which
woud speak for them. Dieudo rejected this approach, saying that the
organization which should speak for them should be the French
Parliament. Amazing idea, no?
Thanks
to Dieudonne, Zionism
is
now finally being denounced as a
tribal and racist, ideology
and
suport for Israel is now becoming as morally repugnant as support
for Apartheid. The entire intellectual edifice which was carefully
built by the Zionists in France for many decades is now coming
crashing down because once these issues are out in the open, the
Ziomob has already lost the key battle. In fact, Dieudo has said
that he has already won the next election.
What
will happen next? Dieudonne does not take his participation in the
upcoming elections too seriously. As a typical comedian, he can sit
there and say "I will bring you all to the light" with a
serious face. When asked if he is really serious, her replies that
nobody in French politics is serious and that the difference between
him the the rest of the French politicians is that they are lousy
comedians whereas he is a professional.
Humor
as a weapon of liberation can be very powerful. The ridicule which
Dieudonne is now heaping on the previously sacred cows of French
Ziopropagnda, such as the "The Eternal Memory of the Shoah"
(all in caps), and all the rest of the Zionist brainwashing toolkit
might well prove to be a formidable weapon for which the Ziomob does
not have a standard answer.
It
will be very interesting to see what happens between now and June
7th - the next election.
In
the meantime, here are some links to Dieudonne's non-political
skits. Enjoy!
