The Morning Report — 7/4/23
The existence of a masked gang of young men tying up rioters in one town is discussed in French language publications, but the mayor insists no such thing exists and tells locals to call the police if they witness unrest. Witness accounts of a so-called “brigade anticasseur” (anti-thug brigade) in the port town of Lorlent, Brittany are reported by local newspaper Le Télégramme. In addition to what is reported by members of the public to the paper, a journalist for the publication claims to have seen a group of between 20 and 30 “young, hooded men” wearing balaclavas and gloves performing unofficial arrests. Using zip-ties to restrain alleged rioters, the men are said to have then handed their captures onto the regular police on Friday night as well as having been seen putting out fires. Described as strongly physically built, fast-moving, and proceeding in a tightly-packed group, a report in Ouest France says one member of the group told a journalist that he couldn’t reveal their identities but that “we are on the good side” and that the group was a spontaneous meeting of friends to protect the city-centre. . . . . . When asked by the interviewer if the group had any “far-right” connections, a woman replied that: “no, we are just people who want to save France, because France is going to ruin”. She further added that it was their belief the killing of an Algerian-heritage teen by a police officer last week is just being used as an excuse for rioting and looting by youths. A man added “we are patriots who love France” and that if rioters only had trouble with the police, they could understand that, but the attacks on private businesses for looting underlined the true cause of the violence. He said it was unacceptable to see a small business owner, who may have invested his whole life of savings, and all his energy, see his hard work “go up in smoke” because of looters.The scum who these French citizens are zip tying and handing over to the police should be grateful that their necks weren't zip-tied, followed by a Mussolini lamp posting. Of course, my figurative orgasmic glee over this should in no way be interpreted as wanting something like this to happen over on this side of the Atlantic. Heaven forfend. I'm no expert on French politics nor the internal workings of their bureaucracy; that is if they have a Deep State similar to the criminal junta and their minions of technocrats and apparatchiks that have effectively undermined our governing principles, hijacked the government and using its instrumentalities against the citizenry. I will say that while France may be socialist, its deeply ingrained sense of national identity (sadly, something that reared its ugly head in the eager collaboration with the Nazis to deport the nation's Jewish citizens to the ovens in Birkenau), is finally coming to the fore as the wolf of cultural suicide via mass immigration of non-assimilating Muslims and Africans is at their throats. Is it too late for France? Probably. But they brought this on themselves. Funny people. They pass things like AOC laws (no, not Titty-Caca Cortez) protecting indigenous food and wine as well as others literally outlawing "franglais," words like "le weekend" and "le hamburger" to guard the purity of language. But, as a sense of guilt about their imperialism and colonialism flung their borders wide open for a mass wave of foreigners, the French did virtually nothing to try and assimilate these people. Worse, those who came in had no desire to assimilate in the first place. I ain't no Margaret Mead but for sure, this is not a recipe for a growing, flourishing, prosperous and peaceful society. That's why in France, and elsewhere in Europe, you have these massive slums or "banlieues." Literal "no-go" zones where even police dare not set foot; de facto foreign countries within their own borders, and they're hostile almost to being in a near state of war. And as we see in France today, an actual state of war. I bring this up because what is happening in France is for sure heading our way, if the summer of 2020 wasn't the first wave of this to begin with. And correct me if I'm wrong but a big difference between France and here is that the government over there is prepared (to a greater or lesser extent) to deal with this while over here, the rioting is being egged on and supported by the government as a tool of political repression: i.e. "anarcho-terrorism." Like everything, it all starts with the repression of freedom of expression:
Bill HB 4474 – passed in the Michigan House on June 20 – could make it a felony to intentionally “intimidate” someone for, among other things, using the wrong pronouns. The bill also extends to a number of “protected classes,” including race or color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or national origin.” By “intimidate,” the House means “a willful course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of another individual that would cause a reasonable individual to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened, and that actually causes the victim to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened.” However, the bill does not offer an objective definition against which intimidation or harassment can be held. Therefore, it is up to the interpretation of the listener as well as the local prosecutor to determine whether what was said was indeed intimidation. Bill HB 4474 is “part of a [continued] effort by Democrats in the state [of Michigan] to advance a pro-LGBTQ+ agenda in their first months in power,” reports The Daily Mail. “Make no mistake about it. Those advocating for this legislation will wield these policies as a weapon capable of destroying conservative expression or viewpoints grounded in the sacred,” adds Professor Emeritus William Wagner.Is addressing some freak in drag with "Hey, mister" as bad as wishing someone "Un bon weekend" in Paris? If I remember correctly, the fight against "Franglais" sort of petered out years ago. But it is indeed all about the language and who gets to wield it.
I am glad that the recent case involving the creative designer in Colorado was decided correctly, as the justices of the Supreme Court determined that a private person operating a business cannot be compelled to lend creative or material support to messages and to deeds he or she believes are odious, in particular, those that violate the person’s religious commitments. And yet, it is like winning an appeal before an occupying army accustomed to enacting tyrannical laws, often inconsistently and incoherently enacted and enforced at that. Nor is it just a matter of making an appeal directly to the chief judges of the occupiers. It has required a tremendous outlay of money, time, talent, and effort, not to mention the wrangling. Even the victory is bitter, and I fear that the main aim of the conquering army continues to be confirmed, to bend a formerly free people to its will by threatening them with destitution and public shame. Machiavelli says that a prince who occupies a country accustomed to old and traditional ways should not attempt to alter them when they pose no threat to his power. For the people, says the shrewd Florentine, want mainly to be left to their own devices, and will be grateful to find that the new prince does not do what they feared he might. . . . . . the ongoing revolution aims at nothing less than that there shall be no peoples. Globalism is, like modernism, not a commitment to anything that enlists the heart and inspires it to works of courage, beauty, and social union, but a negative. Modernism, as an ideology or an aesthetics, is a kind of patricide, whereby you pride yourself on your degree of separation from, and contempt for, the father, for the religious and cultural soil wherein you should have taken root. It explains what in human history is otherwise new and bizarre: that people should take pride in the ferocity with which they reject their patrimony. But there is nothing to replace that patrimony. So the committed modernist, rather than permitting his empty soul to move him to come to his senses, rather than saying, “I shall arise and go to my father’s house,” gives himself over to the Nothing. Since it is unnatural and untenable for man to lack something to believe in, Nothing comes to take the place of God. A good temperament and some residual, incoherent, and unacknowledged faith in God prevents him from falling, always, into the most murderous and appalling forms of Nothing-worship, but that is the drain he is swirling into. The globalist is in the same position. Nobody can be committed to the globe, as no one can love “the masses,” because it is characteristic of each that there are no characteristics, nothing to hold on to. Thus globalism demands that there shall be no genuine nations anymore. Locales may retain a couple of pseudo-traditions, so long as they mean nothing; such may be useful for fooling or distracting the masses. But otherwise, real local independence and culture must be obliterated. In this light, consider again the people who brought suit against the Colorado designer. They are, as so often in our time, practitioners of sexual behavior detached from the natural structure of the human body and from the natural foundations of human societies. They could, of course, easily find someone happy to help them celebrate their dysfunction. That is not the point. The point is to humiliate any last person who believes in the reality of good and evil apart from what the mechanisms of mass behavior and mass control determine.Ironic how the Leftist mantra "The Constitution isn't a suicide pact," actually rings true. Except like everything else they spout, it's always a case of Orwellian phraseology and projection. I agree. It's why if there is to be a land of the free and a home of the brave, then the Constitution as it stands cannot be the foundational document in the formation of the government of a reborn American nation. That is, unless every citizen in that nation swears absolute fealty to the principles of that document. That means of course anyone of the Left cannot be a citizen of that nation. QED. For nearly 60 years and most especially the last two and a half, we have flung the border wide open and millions of third world peasants, not just from Latin America but from all over the world, (including terrorists and enemy agents actively plotting violence for political and religious reasons). They also have zero desire to assimilate yet were invited in by a government that actually sees their "diversity" (puke) as politically desirable for them to maintain and exert power over the rest of us who know better. While seemingly the French police and military have common cause with their citizenry, despite whatever is going through the mind of the Macron government, our law enforcement and military are openly lined up against the citizenry of this nation. We already know what will happen to people like Kyle Rittenhouse and Daniel Penny when – not if – the shit hits the fan as it is doing so now in France. Happy Fourth of July.

Just willowed and I don't cut and paste so,will try again, a lot of chatter about the next Republic in France but there is no Napoleon type on the horizon. Instead it looks like a classic de-evolution story. They burned the Alcazar for God's sake - classic barbarism. I don't think there is a European analog for context, perhaps South American history of revolutions is the answer? The Poles and Hungarians are looking like geniuses right now.

In view of the recent uprisings and government attempts to throttle discovery and end human flourishing, a paragraph came up in the downstairs thread about the savages burning down libraries. That paragraph in the news is manipulative in that the author wants us to care and be outraged because two generations of Leftist thought have trained us not to care about human lives and the means of production so we need to trigger our anger at something else.
Nonetheless, the burning of one of the wonders of the ancient world was also an attempt to throttle real progress.
Just like God stopped the works in Babylon, it seems that there is some sort of cosmic limiter on human progress and flourishing. Whether its Liddites, #FJB, Communism or Muslim savages, something pops up to keep humanity from being great. Enough to support billions of people, but never enough to be Great.

Sporting turmoil across the pond. England and Australia national cricket teams are playing the Ashes, a quadrennial tournament of five Test matches, played this time in England.
Australia has been accused of sharp practices. England was on a roll and threatening to tie the series 1-1. However, one of their batsman was out under circumstances not usually seen. He wandered out of the batting crease thinking the ball was dead, but the alert Australian wicket keeper caught the ball and in one motion threw it and caught the wicket. England ended up losing and is now down 2-0.
Now England is screaming that his actions violated the "spirit of the rules". To which I say, piss on that noise. The Ashes aren't some scratch match. You have to be at the very top of your game and be alert to the rules that can work for and against you.

The Rules of Cricket explained.
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.

The Supreme Court's terrible 303 Creative v. Elenis ruling made me realize, until 4-5 years ago, I didn't there know such hate filled folks were in the USA...then Trump came along and gave permission to all to hate.
Trump ripped off the bandaid, covering up the festering sore of intolerance and making it OK to hate in public. Now they're flying Nazi flags outside DisneyWorld and Synagogues and banning books.
I felt it when Dubya stole the 2000 election and it continues to escalate.
If they're so big on "parents rights", parents should be managing what their kids read. Now, a small vocal minority banning every kids access. How is that "freedom" and "small government"?
I never imagined one could be president by making ugly emotions the rallying cry. How naive is that? All I needed to do was look at history. I was a sheltered, naive fool.
I will give equal hate back as these fuckers want to eradicate me and others like me. Call me an uppity trans woman. IDGAF.

The Gendarmes is essentially a military force that has certain police duties, whereas the police are strictly an urban law enforcement entity.

I thought “gendarme” was just the French term for “policeman.” What’s the difference between gendarmes and police?
Posted by: Bulgaroctonus at July 04, 2023 08:15 AM (xTRSc)
I think it’s firepower. The gendarme, which means “one who bathes with soap” in the French, carries more firepower.
More coffee…

Gendarmes are paramilitary.
||The National Gendarmerie (French: Gendarmerie nationale, [ʒɑ̃daʁməʁi nɑsjɔnal]) is one of two national law enforcement forces of France, along with the National Police. The Gendarmerie is a branch of the French Armed Forces placed under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Interior, with additional duties from the Ministry of Armed Forces. Its responsibilities include policing smaller towns, suburbs and rural areas, along with special subdivisions like the GSPR. By contrast, the National Police is a civilian law enforcement agency that is in charge of policing cities and larger towns. Because of its military status, the Gendarmerie also fulfills a range of military and defence missions, including having a cybercrime division.||
Canada's RCMP is also paramilitary but not part of the Army, though they serve abroad in wartime and in peacekeeping missions.

I agree but I assume the reasoning is that they're too vulnerable to MANPADS [or real antiaircraft missiles/weapons?] from peer-level enemies.
Didn't seem to have been too problematic in Iraq and Afghanistan from lesser-equipped foes.

Hey retard ..
The A-10 is intended for the FEBA or FLOT. Not going into downtown Baghdan or Kiev for Rolling Thunder.
And as two Warthogs have proven, the plane is more survivable against MANPAD and other mobile defenses than planned.
But the modern mobile battlefield has evolved you will scream next. Right you retard? Which is why the A-10C is wired to fight in all weather conditions and deliver the full array of USAF smart munitions to make it more survivable.
The smart set in the 1950s said missiles were the future also. But we still got planes toting Gatling guns even now.

Multiple day cricket tests are excruciating. Much like the baseball shot clock change this year, in the early 2000's the 20/20 format was introduced in which two teams play an inning each of 120 legal pitches. These are typically done over 2 hours, making it a great lunch time endeavor for fans. It has returned a lot of young fans to the game and is actually quite watchable even for Americans.

"Harvard Faces New Civil Rights Complaint Challenging Legacy Admissions
REUTERS/Brian Snyder"
The Leftists appear to be seriously going after Legacy Admissions to their preferred colleges. Corrupt Joe even mentioned ending them in his SCOTUS decision remarks last Friday.
I believe it's all Leftist optics BS. They will very publicly "force" Ivy League schools to end official legacy admissions policies. For fairness and equity! In private they will tell legacy applicants to write in their application essay about being inspired to learn and explore and end white supremacy by their parent(s) stories of how attending Harvard helped them do the same. Or variations of this.
Although straight-up legacy admissions have ended, applications with essays containing a legacy hook will automatically be put in the "ADMIT" pile. Easy-peasy.
Or the schools will simply cut to the chase. College presidents will meet with admissions deans to give them a hand-written list of legacies they must admit BAMN.

It's not like they have a stellar track record in either.
And the sun, being somewhat variable and all, and moving through space we know nothing about is the biggest source of change for our planet. Yet the experts still don't understand shit.
And want to blot out the sun for our safety. 🤷

Yes, it will. It will go out in a blaze of glory, so to speak. I may not see it in my lifetime. It will put up a mighty struggle. And it's death-throes will destroy indescriminately. But it will die.

It'll be interesting to see how the French authorities can/do react to this.
If this was in the United States, the process would go like this... The media would find the name of the group, or make one up if it's not a real organization. The surveillance State would at the same time rapidly identify as many real or perceived "members" as it could. After a period of a couple of weeks of insane, frothing-at-the-mouth vituperation of the "vigilantes," the battering rams and camera crews come out for a series of highly publicized raids with a bunch of arrests and show trials.
The whole time this was happening, our intelligence agencies and social media companies (BIRM) would deploy a full court press to make anyone who expressed support for this an Instant Nazi (just add bullshit).
The Americans know how to put their uppity subjects in check in a hurry.

Today I honor the ideals of our Founders, a set of principles laid out in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution that we as a society have striven to attain for nearly 250 years, in fits and starts. Those ideals were unique in the history of human governments and will live on in the hearts of lovers of true liberty. As a nation we will survive if we continue to uphold those founding principles, not if we continue to tear them down. May God bless America.

President Joe Biden needs a tuneup. He’s a stiff when speaking at the lectern. When not a stiff, the 80-year-old can be a dolt, saying, as he did this week, that Russian President Vladimir Putin is “losing the war in Iraq” when he meant Ukraine, or blurting out a senseless, “God save the Queen, man,” at a gun control rally last week. The English language has never been his friend, so it’s logical that his managers, er, his aides, have limited his exposure to the press. No president since the equally doddering Ronald Reagan has held so few press conferences. Not since Ray Leonard’s ill-advised third comeback has a contestant seemed so out of condition for a big rumble…

Re: Bill HB 4474, looks like someone took the time to study the fed's 2021 updated Hate Crime statistics.
For ALL Bias, Intimidation followed by Simple Assault were the highest reported offenses & Residence Home followed by Highway, Alley, Street, Sidewalk the most likely Locations. There's a whole lot more there regarding Bias Categories, Offenders, Offenders Ethnicity but the point is intimidation as a crime & family members could easily be among the offensive.
Yay. Another progressive v. conservative warfront leading up to the next presidential election.

Tell me about it; Mired in Minnesota, the land of Ilhan, Ellison, and Klobuchar. I'd drink if I could, I'd shoot but no gun, I'd move but no place left to go...
just kidding...This is what Apostle Paul called "these light afflictions" before he was *beheaded*
2 Corinthians 11
"...five times I received 39 lashes with a whip. Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day spent in the sea; in journeys often, in perils of waters, robbers, my own countrymen, in perils of Gentiles, cities, the wilderness, the sea, false brethren; in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness..."
Paul wrote to the Church to follow his example, stand strong in Christ, keep the faith, and finish our race well. It won't get any worse for us than him.
