La France pays le plus désagréable envers les touristes

La carte postale française est un peu écornée sur les bords, si l’on en croit le sondage en ligne effectuée par Skyscanner, un moteur de recherche spécialisé dans les voyages. Ce dernier a demandé à ses clients d’élire le pays du monde le plus désagréable envers les touristes, et 19,29% d’entre eux ont choisi l’Hexagone, selon Forbes.

«Pour défendre la France, j’ai toujours trouvé les Parisiens aussi désagréables les uns envers les autres qu’envers les étrangers. En dehors de Paris —et même à l’intérieur—, les gens peuvent se montrer aussi charmants qu’ailleurs», tempère Andrew Bender, le journaliste spécialiste du tourisme au sein du magazine financier américain.

«Etant donnée sa réputation un petit peu dédaigneuse, il n’est pas très surprenant de voir la France arriver première», note de son côté le magazine américain Time. Skyscanner, dont les conclusions sont citées par l’International Business Times, note que les Français «sont connus, aux yeux de beaucoup de leurs voisins européens, pour leur nature abrupte et cassante, particulièrement vis-à-vis des touristes étrangers». «Il n’est pas surprenant que les Français aient été élus nationalité la plus désagréable. Cela paraît un stéréotype très répandu, même s’il n’est pas forcément vrai», explique Sam Baldwin, un des responsables de Skyscanner.

Les chauvins noteront que le sondage en question a ét

é effectué sur un échantillon plutôt restreint —1.200 personnes seulement— et qui plus est peu représentatif puisqu’environ 60% des sondés étaient… britanniques, le pays d’implantation de Skyscanner. Ce qui n’empêche néanmoins pas ceux-ci de décrocher la médaille de bronze des hôtes les plus désagréables (10,43%), derrière les Russes (16,56%), mais devant les Allemands (9,93%). Les Américains se classent septièmes (3,39%) et les Brésiliens ferment la marche en tant qu’hôtes jugés les moins désagréables (0,08% seulement des sondés ont voté pour —ou plutôt contre— eux).

En 2009, une étude menée auprès de 40.000 hôtels dans le monde avait déjà «sacré» les Français pires touristes au monde, notamment pour leur pingrerie supposée et leur réticence à pratiquer la langue du pays. Quand il s’agit de tourisme, les Français récoltent donc des cartons rouges qu’ils jouent à domicile ou à l’extérieur.

Avertissement au lecteur : Rien dans cet article d’investigation ne devrait être interprété comme une preuve que Sott.net approuve les activités manipulatoires d’organisations telles que la scientologie ou toute autre organisation qui profite de la fragilité humaine. Non seulement nous reconnaissons la nécessité de protéger les personnes vulnérables, au sein de la société, de ce genre d’escrocs « New Age », mais en outre, depuis ces 10 dernières années, nous nous efforçons sans relâche de démasquer ces prédateurs. Ce sont d’ailleurs les escrocs New Age que nous avons démasqués qui ont commencé à nous calomnier en nous affublant de l’étiquette « secte ». Le problème s’avère toutefois que les groupes financés par l’État et prétendument créés dans le but de protéger les citoyens des « manipulations mentales » ont leurs propres motivations ; des motivations qui, au final, sont tout aussi pernicieuses que celles des groupes promoteurs de charlatans qu’ils prétendent combattre. Preuve en est le fait que la MIVILUDES n’a opéré qu’une attaque symbolique contre la scientologie ; les scientologues n’ont jamais subi de descente de police ni d’interrogatoire (au contraire de nombreux groupes inoffensifs) et, à l’issue d’un procès hyper-médiatisé, ont été condamnés à une amende de seulement 600 000 €, ce qui, pour une organisation aussi riche, équivaut à une petite tape sur les doigts. Pendant ce temps-là, et à plusieurs occasions, le président Sarkozy faisait ami-ami avec le représentant de la scientologie, Tom Cruise. En bref, les actions menées par la MIVILUDES contre la scientologie ne sont rien d’autre que de l’esbroufe.

Depuis les années 1970, les gouvernements français qui se sont succédés ont utilisé à outrance et exagéré le danger posé par les groupes New Age, dans le but d’imposer au peuple français un conformisme oppressif en matière de croyance : il s’agit de croire en l’État lui-même. Il s’agit ni plus ni moins que de remplacer une idéologie destructrice et manipulatrice par une autre. Comme l’a déclaré la principale organisation anti-secte en France  – la MIVILUDES :

« Une répression de la part de l’Etat est donc nécessaire si un certain nombre de critères doivent être satisfaits :
- Une ou plusieurs personnes commencent à croire en certaines idées qui s’écartent de celles généralement acceptées par la société. »

C’est-à-dire, lorsque des personnes ordinaires commencent à adopter des idées qui pourraient, de façon générale, menacer le contrôle qu’exercent les psychopathes au pouvoir sur la masse des êtres humains normaux [1].

L’inquiétant état des lieux que nous exposons dans les paragraphes qui suivent ne concerne toutefois pas que le peuple français. Le phénomène est mondial, et ses racines remontent aux années 1960 et 1970, période marquée par les tentatives des « agences de renseignement » occidentales et de certains éléments au sein des gouvernements occidentaux de récupérer et de discréditer le « Mouvement du potentiel humain » et son rejeton  – le mouvement New Age  – et d’imposer un conformisme de pensée et de croyance à des centaines de millions de personnes.

Diet Guru Pierre Dukan Targeted by MIVILUDES

The French authoritarian nanny state strikes again.  Undoubtedly, this is prompted by MIVILUDES

Doctor Pierre Dukan

French medical orders have filed complaints against celebrity diet guru Pierre Dukan, whose diet was reportedly used by the Middleton family ahead of Kate’s wedding to Britain’s Prince William.

Both the French and the Parisian Medical Councils accuse Dukan, who promotes a high-protein diet that has seen him sell millions of books and win over a slew of famous followers, of breaking professional rules.

The man behind the “Dukan Diet Cookbook”, which he is currently promoting in the United States, is accused of failing to observe two articles in the doctor’s code: lacking prudence in statements potentially damaging public health, and of practising medicine as a business.

Dukan recommended in January that students in their final two years of high school be awarded extra marks if they manage to maintain an acceptable Body Mass Index (BMI), a measure of body fat based on height and weight.

He is accused of failing to take into account how his recommendation might affect anorexic or overweight students.  READ MORE

Sarkozy to ban entry to Respected Egyptian Cleric

The French government will deny entry to Egyptian Sheikh Yousef al-Qaradawi should he accept an invitation from an Islamic organization to visit France next month, according to Henri Guaino, a close aide to President Nicolas Sarkozy. “The French government does not want any extremist preachers entering its territory,” he said. “This person does not require a visa because he holds a diplomatic passport, but measures could be taken to prohibit him from entering France.” Qatar-based Al-Qaradawi is one of the most widely respected Sunni Muslim clerics in the Arab world and a household name in the Middle East. Earlier, Sarkozy has announced a crackdown on people who follow extremist Islamic messages on radical websites in the wake Toulouse killings by an Al-Qaeda-inspired gunman, reports Reuters.  LINK

Dutroux Affair and Ritual Child Abuse in France

Belgium’s X Files: Dutroux Affair Uncovered Pedophile Networks

This programme first aired Sunday 5th May 2002 on BBC2 at 7.15p.m.. It was part of the Correspondent series that reported on various issues of public interest, with one programme entirely devoted to each issue selected. The issue focused on here is the Dutroux paedophile scandal that broke in Belgium in 1996. See here for basic background information.

Foremost in my mind is the notion that this certainly isn’t a Belgian phenomenon. People need to wake up to the fact that this is occurring in many countries. It is primarily used as a tool to blackmail and control politicians, judges, public servants, successful businessmen, the wealthy, media personalities, celebrities, and other influential citizens etc.. Literally anyone they can get with a seat at the table of power. In a nutshell, it all boils down to corruption and the subversion of democracy. Key questions left unaddressed are who is ultimately responsible for all this and does it, to some extent at least, link up on an international level?

The Dutroux Affair is definitely linked to Ritual Child Abuse in France:

Monsters among us: Ritual child abuse in France

Interesting, but shocking German documentary that delves into three cases of child abuse in France. Three victims, ‘Deborah’, ‘Robbert’ and ‘Noemi’ tell about their experiences of abuse, and how they were molested in a pedophile network.

Rumours about these pedophile networks are not uncommon. The Casa Pia case in Portugal, the Dutroux case in Belgium, the Franklin affair in the USA and the Zandvoort affair in the Netherlands to name but a few – in all these cases there have been allegations of cover-ups and involvement of people in high societal standing, and investigations seldom lead to a satisfactory result – the Portuguese Casa Pia scandal, where politicians and a national tv-show host were actually convicted, being the proverbial black swan.

Noemi, in this documentary, claims to have met Marc Dutroux, the Belgian pedophile who was convicted for kidnapping and killing several girls in the late 1990′s, through her father. If this is true, it is explosive evidence of the case reaching beyond national borders, something that has always been suspected by researchers.

The two girls and the boy’s stories are horrible beyond imagination – not only involving abuse, but also child-murders, infant sacrifices and instances of cannibalism. It’s tempting to dismiss their stories as the product of imagination, given the trauma they have been through, but it should be stated that these testimonies are very similar to what the “X-witnesses” in the Dutroux affair claimed.

There is an excellent book: Les dossiers X: Ce que la Belgique ne devait pas savoir sur l’affaire Dutroux (the X-files: what Belgium wasn’t allowed to know about the Dutroux affair) in which three investigative journalists research the story of Regina Louf, aka witness “X-1″. She was the first to come forward with her story. Many believed her but then the press instigated a character assassination. The writers of this book however, not only find many credible details in her story, about never resolved murders of young girls in Belgium, but they also show beyond a doubt the whole investigation into the case was deliberately derailed by Belgian Justice.

Of course, the above makes one wonder what MIVILUDES is REALLY up to with their phony cult hunting all the while diverting attention away from the real criminals in high places.  Who knows what may happen to the children that MIVILUDES tries to take away from honest, decent people just looking for a clean and spiritual way to live – maybe they end up in Dutroux type stables?

 

Sarkozy (son of immigrant): Too Many Foreigners in France – they Make the French Aware of How Deprived they are

French President Nicolas Sarkozy arrives for an EU Summit in Brussels March 2, 2012.

Fighting an uphill reelection campaign, French President Nicolas Sarkozy declared Tuesday that there are too many foreigners in France.

“Our system of integration is working increasingly badly, because we have too many foreigners on our territory and we can no longer manage to find them accommodation, a job, a school,” Sarkozy said on a three-hour French TV debate show Tuesday, the Guardian reported.

The startling remarks from the son of a Hungarian immigrant came just two days after the center-right leader sparked alarm in both France’s Jewish and Muslim communities by saying French state schools should not serve “halal” or kosher meat.

Analysts of French politics said Sarkozy’s nationalistic comments can be easily explained, if not necessarily excused: polls currently show Sarkozy to be running in second place behind Socialist Party challenger Francois Hollande. Sarkozy is trying to knock off the current third-place challenger, far-right candidate Marine Le Pen, daughter of age-old right-winger Jean-Marie Le Pen, before the first round of voting on April 22nd.

“The biggest threat for Sarkozy is to go down in polls so much … that Le Pen goes to a second round,” Justin Vaisse, a French expert at the Brookings Institution, told Yahoo News Wednesday.

Polls currently show the Socialist Party’s Hollande at about 30%, Sarkozy at about 25%, and Le Pen at about 17.5%, Vaisse said.

Sarkozy, in his 2007 presidential campaign, was brilliant at poaching voters from Le Pen’s far-right constituency, Vaisse said. “It’s almost a ‘Southern’ strategy, sending signals that are not racist per se, but that appeal to national identity and ‘damn the foreigners’” sentiment.

But some of Sarkozy’s comments this campaign suggest a degree of desperation, Vaisse said. The halal comments in particular have stirred a backlash.

“[Sarkozy] reopened a row, begun last month by Le Pen, over whether meat ritually slaughtered according to Muslim religious standards was being sold on the wider market to unsuspecting non-Muslim consumers,” the Guardian reported. France’s prime minister was holding crisis talks with Jewish and Muslim leaders over the controversy, the report added.

“It’s the revenge of democracy,” Heather Conley, director of European programs at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), told Yahoo News Wednesday. “Sarkozy is trying to ‘outright’ Le Pen, that is what we see now.”

Sarkozy, who portrays himself as an experienced leader bolstering France’s role on the world stage, also said Tuesday that he hopes U.S. president Barack Obama is reelected. And if Sarkozy is himself reelected president, his first foreign trip will be to Germany, he said.

French Socialist candidate Hollande, by contrast, has played to French resentment of Germany during the Euro debt crisis and said he would review a recent treaty on the matter.

On a visit to the French presidential palace this month, German chancellor Angela Merkel stirred controversy in France by openly campaigning for her fellow center-right leader Sarkozy.

Frenchman Sues Google for Posting Peeing Picture

 A Frenchman claiming that a Google Maps’ Street View picture of him peeing in his front yard has made him a “laughingstock” is suing the tech giant for 10,000 euros.

“Everyone has the right to a degree of secrecy,” his lawyer, Jean-Noel Bouillard, told Reuters. “In this particular case, it’s more amusing than serious. But if he’d been caught kissing a woman other than his wife, he would have had the same issue.”

The man, who was not identified but referred to as in his 50s and living in a village of 3,000 in the Maine-et-Loire region, ”He discovered the existence of this photo after noticing that he had become an object of ridicule,” Bouillaud told AFP, asking that the name of the village not be published.  Read the rest…

 

Solution?  The French should live up to their claim to be “civilized”:  stop peeing in public and don’t kiss anybody but your own wife.  After all, indoor toilets and monogamy are civilized attributes!!!

French Xenophobia Stirred to Impose Fascism Using word “Secte”

New spiritualities, esotericism, personal development, New Age… alternative health or educational methods, alternative ways of living together.

This list is not exhaustive but most of the victims of repression… that we will discuss in this film will find themselves on it.

What these people have in common is…that they have all one day been stigmatized by the use of the word ”cult”.

Documentary in 3 parts, (total 120 minutes – French video with English subtitles)

The Attack on Spiritual Freedom

“At 6 a.m., 5:45, they arrived; there were sixty gendarmes.”
“In the end, they broke down the door. They came in screaming.”
“They aimed at me when I had my little one-year old daughter in my arms and I had another child with me who was three years old.”
“They hit me, twisted my arm, put me on the floor, a pistol to my head.”
“I think there are countless victims.”
“The gendarmes who came were convinced that they had to save the interns from a collective suicide that would not fail to happen in the days to come.”
“Any group, of any kind, can become a ‘cult group’ if you want to cause some trouble for it.”
“Myself, personally, I don’t understand what is happening in France.
I find it unacceptable.”
“It’s an attempt to demonize people.
So, in order to demonize them, we say they belong to cults.
It’s easy that way, we reject them as a group and there is no more discussion about it.”
