Posted by seumasach on January 18, 2013

18th January, 2013

Avec la fougue de la jeunesse, une logique réelle et sans langue de bois, le député indépendant belge Laurent Louis, 33 ans bientôt, s’oppose, seul contre tous les autres parlementaires, à la participation de la Belgique à la guerre au Mali. Il dénonce la manipulation internationale, le mensonge de la lutte anti-terroriste, le soutien des Occidentaux aux djihadistes en Libye, Tunisie et Syrie et dévoile les véritables raisons, selon lui, de cette opération militaire néo-colonialiste.

Open letter to President Francois Hollande

Posted by seumasach on January 17, 2013

“How on earth has France sided with islamists to commit mass murder in Libya and Syria? Under the false pretext of protecting civilians, France has returned to colonialism. For Andre Chamy, France should not betray French ideals and the values of the left, he should change direction.”

Comment diable la France s’est-elle embarquée aux côtés des islamistes dans des crimes de masse en Libye et en Syrie ? Sous le prétexte fallacieux de protéger les populations civiles, Paris renoue avec le colonialisme. Pour Me André Chamy, François Hollande ne peut trahir les idéaux français et les valeurs de la gauche, il doit changer de cap.
