French Generals Issue Warning to Macron Regime
Posted on 4/29/21 at 2:23 pm

The following is a translation of a now notorious letter penned by 24 retired French generals, as well as 80 colonels and captains this week warning the Macron government of the need to clamp down on Islamism. Co-signed by a thousand members of French military the letter mentions of the potential of military intervention should civic authorities fail to get a handle on the worsening situation.
Mr. President,
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Government,
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Parliament,
This is a serious time, France is in peril, several mortal dangers threaten her. We who, even after retirement, remain soldiers of France cannot in the present circumstances remain indifferent to the fate of our beautiful country.
Our tricolour flags are not just a piece of cloth, they symbolise the tradition of those who, whatever their skin colour or creed, have served France through the ages and given their lives for her. On these flags we find in gold letters the words “Honneur et Patrie“. Now, our honour today lies in denouncing the disintegration that is affecting our country.
A disintegration which, through a certain anti-racism, has only one aim: to create on our soil a malaise and even a hatred between communities. Today, some speak of racialism, nativism and decolonial theories, but through these terms it is the racial war that these hateful and fanatical supporters want. They despise our country, its traditions, its culture, and want to see it dissolve by tearing away its past and its history. Thus they criticise, via the biases of statues, former military and civilian glories, analysing words many centuries old.
A disintegration which, together with Islamism and the hordes of the banlieue, is leading to the detachment of many parts of the nation, to transform them into territories subject to dogmas which are contrary to our constitution. However, for every Frenchman, whatever his belief or non-belief, all of France must be his home; there cannot and must not be any town or district where the laws of the Republic do not apply.
A disintegration because hatred takes precedence over fraternity, as it does in demonstrations where power uses the forces of order as auxiliary agents and scapegoats, against those French in yellow vests who are expressing their despair. Meanwhile hooded individuals infiltrate and ransack businesses, threatening these same forces of order. However, the latter are only applying the directives, which are sometimes contradictory, and are given by you, the rulers.
The dangers are growing, the violence is increasing day by day. Who would have predicted ten years ago that a teacher would one day be decapitated outside his school? We, the servants of the Nation, who have always been ready to put our skin in the game — as our military status demanded — cannot be passive spectators of such actions.
It is therefore imperative that those who lead our country find the courage to eradicate these dangers. To do this, it is often enough to apply without weakness the laws that already exist. Do not forget that, like us, a large majority of our fellow citizens are fed up with your wavering and your guilty silences.
As Cardinal Mercier, Primate of Belgium, said: “When prudence is everywhere, courage is nowhere.” So, ladies and gentlemen, enough procrastination, the hour is serious, the work is colossal; do not waste time and know that we are ready to support those policies which take into consideration the safeguarding of the nation.
On the other hand, if nothing is done, laxity will continue to spread inexorably in society, in the end causing an explosion and the intervention of our active comrades on the national territory, in a perilous mission to protect our civilisational values and safeguard our compatriots.
We see that it is no longer time to procrastinate, otherwise tomorrow this growing chaos will be put to an end by civil war, and the deaths, for which you will be responsible, will be counted in thousands.

I enjoy that since 1789 France tends to completely overthrow its government every 50 years or so, if not sooner. The Fifth Republic is already overdue.
The French are also not shy in seeing themselves as keepers and/or a bastion of Western Enlightenment ideals. They'll push back on the CRT and the white self-hate type stuff long before people in this country do.

Hell fricking yes!!!! It's about damn time someone stood up to all this bullshite. Now if only our own military had balls enough to do what's right. They could start with the fraudulent election and go from there.

The French have never been pussies. They get a bad rap due to Hitler outflanking them in WWII forcing a capitulation or total annihilation. But they were some cold hearted bastards in term of the resistance.
You should read A Vicious War for Peace. about the Algerian war for Independence. They were mean SOBs and what they did to insurgents....we employed following 9/11 at black sites and Gitmo.

Not sure why this is still a thing. The French took WWI AND WWII on the chin and are still around.

Can't say this upsets me.

I wish our American generals had balls like French generals. Wow, never imagined I would ever say that.
Instead, while French generals fight for the soul of the French Republic, ours are busy virtue signaling for pregnant women and trans people.
Such is the state of things today.

Muslims are quickly becoming the new "Jews" in Europe.
Only a matter of time until they're forced to deport the countries they've infested.

I wish we had generals like this instead of ones who write letters crying about demonstrations at the capital.

Truth. And to be fair to France Hitler ran over everyone in Europe not named Russia and England. And he would have defeated England had the US not gotten involved plus England is an island and Hitlers strength was his army and panzer divisions not his Navy and Air Force
