"Me Thinks He Doth Protest Too Much."

Nicolas Sarkozy, the French head of state, was quoted this week as saying,
"We cannot accept and therebye facilitate what looks more and more like a particularly wicked programme of cleansing in the Middle East, religious cleansing."

On the face of it, one might conclude that Sarkozy was expressing indignation about the Coptic Christians killed in Eygpt celebrating the Orthodox Christmas or even the Christians recently killed in Iraq, while worshiping in a Catholic church.

Marie Julie was told that the first crisis would come about, when an evil man would come to power in France. She was told that he was not to be trusted depite professions of morality. Marie Julie was given a title for the man and there is little doubt in my mind that Nicolas Sarkozy is the best fit for the person in question. Is Sarkozy trying to forment religious intolerance or express true moral indignation?

France has a hugh population of North African immigrants who are at least cultural, if not pius, Muslims. Why would the head of state of of a country with ten million or more Muslim immigrants be making such comments? Has he been heard expressing moral indignation when Muslims murder one another during prayer in Iraq? It seems to me to be the ultimate in hypocracy, if not itself part of a "wicked programme" of propaganda.

In the same week, three executives were suspended at France's Renault for "unspecified ethical issues".   A French minister complained that  "economic warefare" was hurting French industry. Imagine that! How embarrassing that a WikiLeaks cable, just made public, quotes the head of a German satelite company as saying that France is the top industrial espionage offender, worse than China and Russia combined. Imagine that! German counter intelligence experts claim Germany will lose 30 Billion Euros or 30,000 jobs to economic espionage.

One wonders how long will Germany regard France as a partner in the European Union. Are not members of the union supposed to be political, economic and monetary allies?

From what was revealed to Marie Julie, it is unclear whether the first crisis is an accident, so to speak, or a deliberatley engineered event. If one believes that nothing in politics or economics occurs by sheer happenstance, then I am inclined to wonder if the first crisis will be brought about by the same "elite" that instigated the French revolution. It seems that Nicolas Sarkozy must be a member of their ranks, and as heaven advised, is not to be trusted.
