FRANCE RIP

GLOBAL RESEARCH – In the post-World War II era, one week stands out as truly extraordinary. Just a couple of days after the failed US-backed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, on April 21, 1961, a group of French generals launched a coup-d’etat, with the aim of taking down President Charles de Gaulle. This week marks the 55th anniversary of this profound event, little-remembered today.

The conspirators managed to control Algiers, the capital of French Algeria, but failed to achieve their secondary objective of taking Paris. Lacking popular support and having lost momentum, the coup was put down within days.

Evidence suggests that Allen Dulles, the US Director of the CIA, and his numerous contacts deep within the French government, helped orchestrate the plot.

Many French — along with Dulles — feared an independent Algeria would fall into the hands of Communists, giving the Soviets a base in Africa.

  1. ‘Sfar as I know, Charles de Gaulle was the real deal in terms of being a French patriot. He was clearly a man with a sharp wit…

    “Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.” – Charles de Gaulle

    A lot sharper, one suspects, than Lord ‘Dulles’, sometime Director of the CIA, the US branch of ‘Intelligence Central’, which encapsulates MI6, Britanical’s Secret Lack-of-Intelligence Service (SIS), Mossad – ‘Wage war with deception, yada, yada, yada’ – and the aforementioned CiA. They, of course, all work for the Rotshites and their privately owned and run Central Banksterin’ cartel. Oh … paid for, naturally, by you ‘n me … the common or garden ‘taxpayer’.

    As an aforementioned ‘patriot’, Charles would not, could not, have been popular amongst the Rotshites and their admirers. Being ‘internationalists’ ‘n all. Thus a target for assassination, just months, indeed, before the self-same attack on JFK.

    The only thing that can really have any importance for a ‘patriot’ is control of one’s own money supply. Without control of currency, you basically have control of nothing. As another well-known Frenchman is quoted as saying…

    “When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain.” – Napoléon Bonaparte

    How very true. Charles musta known. How far he went down the yellow brick road trying to reclaim France’s sovereignty, I don’t know. But he, unlike JFK, did not wind up with a bullet in the head. Then again, even if he did, Charles had the perfect ‘riposte’, as the French prefer to say. To wit…

    “The graveyards are full of indispensable men.” – Charles de Gaulle
