I’ll will be rejoining James Edwards’ great/best ever radio show The Political Cesspool this Saturday May 10th, 2019 8:30 PM CST. Our/my theme is: “Everything sounds better in French” and I’ll be discussing French nationalists battle to keep French Algeria in the 1950s and the racial/cultural clash that existed then and now. Here’s a beautiful French popular song expressing the defiance of all those brave French who fought in the Battle of Algiers “I have no regrets” J’ne regrette rein
You should consider “Camp of the Saints” as a story come true.
Complètement vrai.
Here is one of THE best scenes from the best war movie ever “Battle of Algiers”

The French counter terrorism Colonel is meeting with the mainland French press (who are sympathetic to France remaining in Algeria), the Press respects French military success but questions the “tactics” a clear reference to French counter terrorism using torture against FLN Arab Muslim terrorists/”freedom fighters”.
The colonel replies in this type of war, if you want us to win, Algeria to remain French than you (the press, political leaders back in France) must accept the consequences that yes, that does involve torture and summary executions of terrorists or just Arab, Ork unter.
Watch it and ask if you/we could do this:

Its moments like these that I’m proud to have French blood in my veins.
