Seems Familiar

Funny how some things in the world remind you of other things.

France just elected this guy Hollande. A Socialist. He ran with a campaign slogan of “Change”. It turns out that what got him elected was a nearly monolithic block of votes from one minority group in the population. 93% of the Muslim voters in France pulled the lever in his favor.

Scary how history seems to repeat itself. Makes me wonder if Abdullah Ackbar is going to be their new Ministre l’Justice? Or if the guy will surround himself with an unvetted, self-appointed cabinet of césars?

According to a survey of 10,000 voters conducted by Opinionway for Le Figaro (not online), 93 percent of French Muslims voted for Francois Hollande in the second round of the French election, La Vie reports.
...
“It is the mark of a true rejection of Nicolas Sarkozy” said Julien Goarant, research director at Opinionway. Sarkozy’s attempts to woo Far-right voters and question the role of Islam (especially Halal meat) in France also did not go unnoticed.

On the flip side, a poll for La Vie showed that 79 percent of practicing Catholics voted for Sarkozy, with Hollande cornering only 21 percent of their vote. But 70 percent of those considering themselves “without religion” went with Hollande, according to Le Figaro.

So the godless and the satanic put Hollande over the top. Hmm ... wonder what’s next for France? Doug Ross got a letter from le Resistance:

Hello to my American friends,

As you know, the Socialist François Hollande won the presidential elections in France, last Sunday.

It is a catastrophe for France.

Hollande was elected by the Muslims: a survey (of 10,000 Muslims) shows that 93% of the Muslims voted for him. As 2 million Muslims participated in this election, Hollande got 1,720,000 Muslim votes more than Sarkozy did: (0.93-0.07) x 2,000,000 = 1,720,000.

But at the end, in the whole population, he got only 1,139,316 votes more than Sarkozy.

So, without the Muslims’ votes, Sarkozy would have been re-elected. ... Criminality is already on the rise (1,700 cars were burnt in France for the first night). Muslims are screaming anti-French and anti-Jews watchwords in our streets. Veiled women, wearing the illegal burqa, are strolling in our streets.

And, as if this wasn’t enough, Hollande wants to give to all the foreigners the right to vote in our elections! France will face a very hard situation. We are heading for civil war in a few years.

That’s the last news from occupied France.

And at the same time, some other folks aren’t going to stick around to see how bad it gets. Aliyah is the right of any Jewish person to emigrate to Israel.

Some 5,000 French Jews participated in an aliyah fair in Paris.

The fair, organized and run by the Jewish Agency, took place May 6, the same day as the French presidential elections where incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy, the candidate favored by the country’s Jews, was defeated.

“I cannot recall having seen such a massive number of people interested in aliyah since the days when lines of people stretched out of the Israeli Embassy in Moscow,” said Jewish Agency Chairman Natan Sharansky, who attended the fair. The annual event usually attracts about 2,000 visitors, according to the Jewish Agency.

The French Jewish community is the largest in Europe, with some 500,000 members, according to the Jewish Agency.

The fair comes on the heels of a March attack on a Jewish school in Toulouse in which four were killed: a rabbi and his two young sons and the daughter of the head of the school.

Where does that [Hollande’s victory] leave France? And, French Jews might add, where does that leave us, and where does that leave Israel? It is likely that a majority of the Jewish vote went to Sarkozy. Like most Israelis, most French Jews perceived him as a friendly figure with deep sympathies for Israel. Those who voted for him may now fear both the rise of Marine Le Pen - who intends to play a leading role in the opposition - on the far right, and the access to power of the Greens, who are nominally allied to Hollande and have radical anti-Israel views.

On the night of Hollande’s victory, TV broadcasts showed Arab-French youths displaying Palestinian, Algerian and Moroccan flags on Place de la Bastille, where his supporters had gathered to celebrate.

History may be repeating itself a bit. 2012 may not be another 2008. Pray that it is not another 1939.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
