poll bird terror operation. no turning back for thousands of anti corporate occupy protesters in america who are preparing to descend on congress as it turns from the holidays for months on and there's no sign of backing down from their demand that the richest one percent stops making money at everyone else's expense. next political activist explains why he thinks the united europe is not feasible concept and that his native france it's a complete revamp. the today we're joined by alice are all he's a french writer and founder of the political think tank equality and reconciliation and he's considered by many as a controversial figure in france for his political stand that more often than not goes against the status quo and for comments that push the envelope on topics that are generally considered taboo well mr straw thanks very much for joining us today

my first question is what is it that you dislike so much about the french a status quo that you feel compelled if you will to go against it. first of all today we can no longer believe in the masquerade of the political left and right for a long time here in france unlike anglo-saxon countries even germany and the united states there was a real alternative in french politics meaning there was the communist party and there was the whole movement of economic liberalism there was real political diversity in france gradually the so-called left eventually gravitated towards economic liberalism the right the only differences between the left and right were small variations in their positions on ethics and society the best example is right now we have francois hollande and nicolas sarkozy and there's no real opposition between left and right it doesn't exist they're all roughly economic liberals libertarians are fronts for the first step of visible liberalism is the european

union there are those who submitted to the e.u. which means the end of borders the free movement of goods and capital ideology of right and left the ideology of message a nation this is the dominant ideology in france shared by left and right the difference is only a static equivocal set and then there are those who oppose this dominant ideology who fight for the restoration of borders the restoration of the nation those who criticize the ideology of miseducation meaning to defend cultural identities and so on the battle to. de is to resist globalism on economic and cultural fronts etc we have to show that the fight between left and right no longer exists because today the two battling sides are the globalists and those resisting globalism with your list. so what exactly is your motivation for being an opposition is it just for the sake of being in opposition because you think there is none and friends say. yes it in body is the new opposition and it has one important distinction which is this

opposition has no place in today's institutional system whereas before and for historical reasons if there was opposition within the establishment today even in television there's a centrifuge which excludes a marginalizes people who are not liberals globalists human rights hardliners pro-american suppose i honest it can be seen clearly there is no opposition in the establishment anymore these days i may have been the last one even to be invited to talk on shows on trying time french television that went wrong the people who invited me ended up having problems system french elections are coming up soon what do you think will be the results especially at the final round who do you think are the two candidates that will be running for it at the end. with the french elections we can clearly see today that the french system that was developed by do call and the fifth republic is being destroyed to make way for an american system. so you have the incumbent in particular sarkozy on the right. and then you have the primary election and the left wing political parties it's like the republicans and

democrats in the us there is actually no difference between the two sides left and right are both liberals economically speaking maybe one wants to legalize weapons and the other doesn't but the reality is there is no alternative management we arrive at the same thing. in france today there's sarkozy get you and after the primary election the socialist party or launches a circus the winner was francois hollande now the media then reduces the sarkozy whole and political debate into a war of catchphrases example with all and calling sarkozy the bad guy is pure theater but there is no political content because in reality they are both fans of the european union and they cannot do what they pretend to want to do like green just realisation saving companies you know what they're proposing or against e.u. laws of thought you know the socialist party of the ruling union for a popular movement have ratified ninety three percent of what the e.u.

proposed because sarkozy and hollande are two economic liberal candidates with very minimal differences in stands on social issues which is why i'm interested in marrying a punk who has good poll ratings and offers an alternative to leave the european union go back to the french france and defy wall street and the other to try to pretend she doesn't exist they try to get the french into the american system they are afraid and marie le pen can make it to the second round of the presidential election if that happens it will expose the lie of the french system with a huge amount of media effort through television shows they try to bring the french people into a situation of actually having no choice. you have all our guns are cozy in france we say it's like choosing between tweedle dee and tweedle dum sometimes a very subtle form of to tell a tarion is i'm using liberalism which is smarter than a dictatorship you. you have two choices that are essentially the same or say you are against the european union and you're against the euro and what exactly is it

that you see for france a system that you see would work better for your country. to deceive other than when you look at the reality of the past twenty years the european union has changed very little by the way if we remember back then we felt we were still having referendums on such decisions as the mass treat referendum got through but in the second referendum on the lisbon treaty the french voted no in our land they voted no it was rejected by the people but then forcibly voted in by m.p.'s. this means that the national assembly betrayed the people of fronts it does not represent the people in statistical terms that lisbon has been ratified by the national assembly overwhelmingly and when the people rejected the treaty in a referendum it is clear that this representative democracy actually represents no one at all today because the european union is scared of the people for the consulting the people who can drop the ball there's also the demonization of the people treating them as though they're stupid as though they won't understand this

is real right wing ideology of us men are idiots sheep that must be led by an elite against their will it's an ideology that can be called extreme right to do what be european union was meant to bring down unemployment bring prosperity security whatever you want to callers instead it brought on employment to the adoption of the euro inflated prices because deindustrialization especially in france it may be better for germany but it's an economic disaster. on the security front it's been a disaster with sharing and a total loss of border control the french have long been familiar with that widespread disaster it doesn't work and now it's worse than before even today economic experts say it's about to collapse it's not even a question of whether it's good or bad it's falling apart mechanically the euro is . this ingle currency is a technical impossibility and europe of twenty seven countries cannot work we see

that this huge thing is crumbling and has only brought negative effects practically with merkel and sarkozy meeting every three days it's getting ridiculous now there's a summit every three days it's no good it's close enough to collapse. before they discuss the media coverage of various events around the world particularly b. coverage of the arab spring occupy wall street and other more recent ones what's your take on how such events are portrayed in france. already there is a very big difference in the treatment of occupy wall street and the arab revolutions about the power we don't talk in mainstream media about the riots and demonstrations challenging the power of the us banking oligarchies all about it but only if we do not want to see internal unrest that exists right now in the united states which is very serious but they are absolutely not reported in the french media nothing zero there is all day long we hear about the arab spring we were

given nonstop coverage of libya and we hear about cereal all day long. the streets demonstrations and political rallies in the us are important i haven't seen bashar al assad ask obama to step down queen of england there is also a lot of social unrest in england is that so in reality the problem is that in this world what we call the empire dominates the western media that the people swallow all this and think that all is well in the us it's the largest democracy in the world so that now against syria it's fire and blood to the problems that he was eating small children but the french media and i don't just mean mainstream media but also newspapers that were traditionally read by french intellectuals he put it on people and there is a total collapse of political analysis in france but the only serious analysis available is on the internet but it's a very small niche if not the french situation the french know nothing of the serious problem in the united states but they are exposed to the syrian situation throughout the day because only because only now they've always stood for

nationalism but you've always said that fashion look out for its own interests in a more nationalistic way but did not see any merit in france being more interdependent with other countries especially since we are living in a more interconnected world whether economically or politically what in france isolated if it turns in words rather than outwards. let the. well we've got we get the impression that there are only two choices the new world order which means open borders globalism and total submission to the us or closing in on ourselves in fact the alternative is neither of those. we have the option of using functional borders not as barriers but as doors and windows that can be opened more or less for reasons of protectionism which is acknowledged by all serious economists partnership point of view it is well known that our logical partners with whom we have an interest is russia rather than the us. lest thanks
