Marx Back in Germany
Communism seems on the verge of conquering Germany. Individual former Marxist-Leninists already occupy high positions in the Federal Republic of Germany. Now it looks increasingly likely that the Left Party, the successor of the East German Communist Party, might be in government in the foreseeable future.
Dieudonné, Faurisson and... Le Pen
The comedian and professional anti-Semite Dieudonné M'Bala M'Bala (left), who is currently performing at the Zénith Theatre in Paris, invited onto the stage to join him one Robert Faurisson, noted French Holocaust denier. This happened while Jean-Marie Le Pen was in the audience.
If this doesn't bring the Front National to an end, nothing will. I would almost venture to guess that Le Pen is doing this deliberately to sink his party so that no one, not even his daughter Marine, will ever take the reins of what he must consider his own private possession.
Duly Noted: From Bankruptcy to Bureaucracy
1. Baling out Detroit. “Bankruptcy now” has been avoided. However, the measure might bring only temporary relief. As so often, support is likely to finance the continued manufacture of products that not enough people want. Avoiding immediate bankruptcy also means that this ruin’s place will be taken by “immediate bureaucracy”. The control of automobile manufacture will be made the co-responsibility of a state appointed “Car Czar”. This person will in theory know more about car-making than the CEO’s of the Big Three. Might pastry shops be next?
