Michael Moore brought to their feet the adoring European elites with his accustomed diatribes, defamations and wild attacks against President Bush and the American traditions and values. The jubilant reaction of the privileged European and Hollywood elites in attendance to the Festival, says more about their own values than the alleged merits of Moore's documentary. Accordingly, he received the longest standing ovation ever at the Cannes Festival, an spectacle bordering on collective hysteria.
What makes it more loathsome, is that the French would be speaking German today if Americans had not given up their lives by the tens of thousands to liberate them from the Nazi occupation... and as a result of their collective cowardice, in less than 20 years they will be forced to speak in Arab while French will be relegated to the dust bind of the dead languages, following the example developing in Belgium where those who arrived as immigrants are considering themselves the rulers and demanding the adoption of the Arab language as the second official language in the country.
Cannes' shameful spectacle is a representative hallmark of the character of the Gallic people. We must not forget that Hitler occupied France much without resistance and there was extensive cooperation among the French people with the Nazis, to the point of delivering their own French Jewish friends and neighbors to the Germans for extermination in Hitler's concentrations camps.
Thanks to the Spanish dictator, Generalissimo Francisco Franco y Bahamonde, more than 60,000 French and other European Jews saved their lives crossing the Pyrenees Mountains. Even though there were 20 German divisions at the French Spanish border threatening to invade Spain in order to conquer Gibraltar, Franco welcomed the persecuted Jews as Spanish citizens giving them asylum in Spain as if they were descendants of the Sephardic Jews that were expelled from Spain by the Catholic Monarchs in 1492.
There was an historical moment in which the character and moral fiber of the French people was defined. After the defeat of the Germans and their retreat from France the American and British had the courtesy to allow General De Gaulle along with his meager troops to enter Paris at the head the triumphal Victory parade.
Nevertheless, very soon afterwards De Gaulle decided to extricate France from the military Pact of the North Atlantic Pact between Western Europe and the United States that secured the peace and freedom in that part of Europe, saving them from falling under the Soviet boot as it happened to the East Europeans countries.
De Gaulle, in a bout typical of French arrogance, or perhaps to appease the Soviet Union and the very powerful French communists in control of much the bureaucracy, demanded the immediate shut down of the American bases in France and the return of the troops to United States.
Eisenhower, with great dignity, responded: " General, it is going to take some time to exhume all our dead soldiers from the soil of France."
The sick minds of the French and Hollywood's elites share a common longing for the discredited and failed socialist ideology with its legacy of slavery, extreme misery and the murder of hundreds of thousands of innocents human beings throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America with the approval and complicity of those elites.
What we witnessed in Cannes is an example of how those elites pour their inferiority complexes against the nation that made it possible for them to dump their hatred against the generous American people who more than once sacrificed their best sons and daughters to free France and Europe from captivity, and also fed and clothed them when they were under abject misery.
In an interview with Princess Caroline of Monaco and Hanover, published in the Spanish magazine Hola (4/29/04), Jean-Marie Rouat, a Member of the French Academy, asked to H.R.H. Princess Caroline:
¿What is your opinion on France's scientific research crisis?
H.R.H. Caroline responded: "It is deplorable. There is veritable scarcity. We are witnessing an intelligence flight. That is impoverishing the scientific and intellectual life. Sometimes it is necessary for a scientist to wait three months in order to have access to a microscope in a research laboratory. Those instruments frequently cost near 450,000 euros; so, there is only one per university, or one for almost 1,000 researchers, who are forced to wait in order to proceed with their experiments."
This is the legacy of socialism. This is the famous European socialized medicine. This is France, a country that allowed their old citizens to die without family or government assistance during a heat wave last summer. It was vacation time and the old folks were left behind in their city apartments under searing heat, and their children, doctors and nurses went on vacation to enjoy and relax.
That sacred time could not be interrupted, not even to save the lives of their own parents or to claim the corpses of those who died and were placed in funeral homes and food storage buildings waiting for weeks to be claimed and buried.
A French couple might spend 200 euros for a dinner in a not very luxurious restaurant; but they will not spend 300 euros in an air conditioning unit for making their parents' life more comfortable.
It is repugnant to hear those same people speaking with a tone of moral superiority when referring to the civil casualties during the year long war with Iraq, which has been minimal when compared to any other previous war, and much less than the old people left to died without assistance in France during a period of less than a month.
France longs to assume Europe's leadership and become a balance to the United States in global affairs and politics. This country opposed Iraq's liberation because they were in cahoots with Saddam Hussein with oil deals worth near 100 billion euros.
This is a country that in cahoots with the United Nations, Germany, Russia and even the Vatican, was taking billions of dollars destined to be use for food and medicine for the children of Iraq and were used instead for the construction of Saddam's palaces and to grease the good will towards his regimen by paying off politicians and members of the media.
France is boasting its moral superiority, when once before excelled in applying brutal methods of torture during the war in Algeria, methods approved by Mitterrand's socialist government. They dare to judge the idiotic and dishonorable actions of a small group of American soldiers who humiliated some Iraqi prisoners and whose behavior was not condoned by their superiors and are going to be punished according to United Sates military.
This is the country that invented Madame Guillotine in order to humanly behead those who the plebs considered superior, richer or more powerful. France has not been able to exorcise from its soul and genes the demons of the Jacobin's reign of terror and try to find in others a similar bloody ancestry.
They seem to share pleasure in beheading along with the Islamic terrorists who are very proficient at that sport. It is no surprise that they do not find it abhorrent when a person is beheaded, especially when the victim is an American. ¿Did anyone ever hear the French denounce the crimes of Stalin, Mao, Pot Pol, Castro or the beheading of Nick Berg?
France is such a sophisticated country that it has made ingratitude a virtue. Jean Francois Revel, the famous French philosopher and writer made a masterful analysis of the roots of the French and also of the European anti-Americanism.
Aiding and abetting terrorism does not ensure the safety of Hollywood's useful idiots. Madonna and her children have received death threats by the terrorists. While American civilians are being decapitated, murdered and their bodies desecrated, dismembered, and burned, the corrupt European and Hollywood elites, remain oblivious to the fact that their own heads might also roll soon.
Hollywood's masochist self-flagellation of the American values continues unabated to the amusement of the decadent and corrupt European elites and to the joy of terrorists. During the Cannes' Festival, Michael Moore felt pleasantly at home enjoying the company of hyenas from the same pack. It was quite a memorable occasion for the enemies of the United States.
And this film was bought from Disney by a pair of (won't mention their ethnicity) and will be distributed to theatres this Summer to be shown around the U.S. and put out on DVD soon after.
I would not be at all surprised if CBS shows it as a "special" by this Fall just before the election...plus the big 60 Minutes and 60 Minutes II long interviews with traitor Moore sure to precede or follow the opening day. CBS is feeling it's treasonous oats.
I can bring a crowd of French to their feet just by lobbing bars of soap at them.
