For
Thierry Meyssan, one of the consequences of the successive ends of
the bipolar and unipolar world is the re-establishment of colonial
projects. One after the other, the French, Turkish and English have
publicly declared the return of their colonial ambitions. We still
need to know what form they will adopt in the 21st century.

Part
1 - The French Empire
For a
decade we have been revealing the incongruity of the French desire
to re-establish its authority over its old colonies. This was the
logic behind the nomination by President Nicolas Sarkozy of Bernard
Kouchner as Minister for Foreign Affairs.
Kouchner
replaced the French Revolutionary idea of «The Declaration of the
Rights of Man and of the Citizen» with the Anglo-Saxon notion of
«Human Rights». Later, his friend President François Hollande
declared, during a Press conference on the fringes of the UN General
Assembly, that it was time to re-establish a mandate over Syria.
The
great grand-nephew of ambassador François George-Picot (of the
Sykes-Picot agreement), ex-President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing,
spoke of this even more clearly. This should help us better to
understand the desire of President Emmanuel Macron to continue the
war against Syria, without the United States.
There
has always been a «colonial party» in France which crosses all
political parties and acts as a lobby in the service of the wealthy
class. Just as in every period when it becomes difficult for
unscrupulous capitalists to crush the national work-force, the myth
of colonial conquest resurfaces. If the «Yellow Vests» revolt, let
us continue with the «exploitation of men by other men» on the
backs of the Syrians.
Long
ago, this form of domination hid, according to the words of Jules
Ferry – under whose auspices François Hollande consecrated his son
mandate – behind the duty of «bestowing civilisation». Today, it
aims at protecting the people whose elected leaders are qualified as
«dictators».
France
is not the only ancient colonial power to act in this way. Turkey
quickly followed on.
