L'amitié est un sujet subversif et révolutionnaire.
Donner des droits aux amis, c'est reconnaître la nouvelle France. De nouveaux droits qui changeront la vie de millions de gens, sans rien enlever à personne.

There are many ways you can describe the awful Raphaël Glucksmann (who would be a complete disaster as French president) but "grandson of Soviet spy" is properly ridiculous 🤦
For one thing he co-founded with his father André the "Cercle de l'Oratoire", a French pro-US think tank created for the purpose, I quote, of "defending US policy in the French public opinion and fighting against anti-Americanism" (https://t.co/0R7eylaTyo). In other words, it's a pro-American propaganda shop.
André, his father, was also infamous as one of France's staunchest supporters for American military interventions. For instance in this unreal Le Monde article at the start of the Iraq war (https://t.co/vSQIPL561Y) he wrote: "What a joy to see the Iraqi people rejoicing, celebrating their liberation and... their liberators! A few months ago, France claimed to be channeling the belligerent ardor of the United States into the 'legality' of the UN. Unfortunately, opposition to the war degenerated into systematic opposition to Washington... France put itself out of the game, ridiculed... In this respect, Tony Blair, who took the risk of confronting his electorate while remaining true to his convictions, proved to be a true head of state."
Everyone can agree that this degree of apologia and sycophantism for what history will remember as one of America's greatest crimes is beyond nauseating...
So much for for the "Soviet spy" lineage...
Raphaël Glucksmann then started his career in his 20s as the right-hand man to Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili after the "Rose Revolution", a US-sponsored color revolution. How does a young French man in his 20s find himself as right-hand man to a Georgian president in the aftermath of a US-sponsored color revolution? You tell me 🤔
And Georgia wasn't enough: 3 years after he took up his position with Saakashvili, he moved to Ukraine to help with the Euromaidan movement - another US-backed revolution - following which his then wife Eka Zgouladze, who was a minister in Georgia, became a minister in Ukraine!
Raphaël is systematically at the forefront of all the US propaganda campaigns. For instance he took a leading role in Mike Pompeo's "Uyghur genocide" campaign, spreading the most ridiculous pieces of disinformation that even US officials wouldn't dare to claim, for fear of ridicule. For instance here on his Instagram account (https://t.co/7lplVeA7YB) you can see a video of him speaking at the EU parliament and claiming that the "CCP" harvests "Halal organs" from executed Uyghurs for "wealthy clients from the Gulf"...
He's obviously 100% aligned behind all the Western geopolitical conflicts of the day:
- vis-à-vis Russia (here he is on NATO's "Strategic Communication" YouTube channel saying "we have enemies, and first of all, Putin's regime": https://t.co/n0CXckLXkg)
- vis-à-vis China (he even led a recent delegation of EU MPs on a visit to Taiwan: https://t.co/usi672Q9jz)
- and vis-à-vis Iran (here on his Instagram account he writes that "The Iranian Revolutionary Guards must now be considered terrorists and hunted down as such": https://t.co/gbkOgyeyk8).
His position on Gaza? You'll have guessed it: 100% aligned behind the American position. He writes (https://t.co/2P7lCaH6Fv): "The fight against Hamas is perfectly legitimate; one has the right to defend oneself against such a terrorist organization. But we must also be able to remind ourselves of the obligation to respect international humanitarian law, the obligation to respect international law (...) true peace involves the dismantling of Hamas." Almost straight out of a communiqué of the US State Department...
To sum up: a man who co-founded a pro-US propaganda outfit, served as right-hand man to two US-backed revolutions, parrots Mike Pompeo's talking points, calls for hunting down Iranian Revolutionary Guards, echoes the State Department line on Gaza word for word, and wants the West to confront Russia, China, and Iran simultaneously.
Calling this man a "grandson of Soviet spy" is perhaps the most unintentionally funny headline The Telegraph has ever published 🤦
With the recent allegations against Yves Tumor, I want to share my own experience.
I’ve known Shanti for years and sang on “Lovely Sewer” on his last record. What followed was one of the most disrespectful professional experiences of my career.
Mais t’as quoi contre LFI. Tu mens, tu es dans l’approximation, ton seul sujet de prédilection c’est la guerre d’Algérie, c’est quand t’es basé en semaine B. Le reste du temps, t’es sur les côtes LFI de façon malhonnête, hasardeuse, partisane, tu te fais debunker par tout le monde et tu continues de l’ouvrir. Va en vacances cousin, ou prends ta retraite.
@LorianeLafont J'ai été amusé d'entendre des New-Yorkais dire qu'il allaient manger au Halal sans sous-entendu religieux.
Pour eux Halal = nourriture orientale, pour nous Halal = ouin-ouin on se fait grand remplacer.
