How Woke Conquered the World & Why It Threatens Democracy, Tolerance & Reason
Europe: Demography Governs Democracy
There is a replacement of civilization and the media is not even covering it.
Sept pas vers l’enfer (“Seven Steps to Hell”), the new book by Alain Chouet, the former number two of the DGSE, the powerful French counter-intelligence service, is an indictment of the European élites. Chouet recalls:
“I have been invited every year to give a lecture on the problems of the Arab world in Molenbeek, a suburb of Brussels. One day I was there… when Philippe Moureaux, the city’s socialist mayor and big boss of the Belgian Socialist Party, took the front row flanked by two imposing bodyguards in djellabas, beards and white berets. To the audience, Moureaux said I was not qualified to discuss the Arab world, as I came from a country that had tortured Muslims in Algeria. His reasoning is significant in the way in which, since the late 1980s, the European left has allowed itself to be taken by the sirens of militant Salafism. The management of Molenbeek is exemplary in this sense: authorizations granted easily and without any control for the opening and functioning of mosques, Islamic private schools, cultural and sports clubs generously subsidized by Saudi Arabia”.
25 out of 89 member of the Brussels Regional Parliament are not of European origin.
Chouet continues:
“I accuse political leaders of never wanting to understand the rise of radical Islam and of deliberately ignoring it because of the electorate and ‘politically correctness’. I accuse them of allowing several municipalities to develop jihadist radicalism for years, to the point that a socialist official told me: ‘We know Molenbeek’s problem, but what do you want, it is an electorate that cannot be neglected'”.
It now is France’s turn. “Is the Muslim vote decisive?” the Algerian writer Kamel Daoud asked in the French weekly Le Point.
The re-election of Emmanuel Macron was predicted. The real shock from the last French presidential election was the resounding boom of the radical left. The candidate of the pro-immigration party, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, of “La France Insoumise” (“Rebellious France”), made dramatic progress compared to 2017. He received 22.2% of the vote, just one point behind Marine Le Pen. Notably, he received 69% of Muslim vote.
“Mélenchon,” said the French philosopher Alain Finkielkraut in an interview with French television Europe 1 “is betting on the Great Replacement to acquire more power”. Finkielkraut had also mentioned the “Great Replacement” in January, when he said that the replacement of the European people by Africans, Asians and Middle Easterners was “obvious.”
“This is in fact a fragmentation and yes, this risk does exist and in any event, I think the demographic change of Europe is extremely spectacular. The historical people in certain municipalities and regions are becoming a minority.”
France’s suburbs and large cities with a high rate of immigration have been the heart of Mélenchon’s political project, and where he received 60% of the votes in the elections.[1]
What do these numbers tell us? That many have gotten on the bandwagon of political Islam, and the feeling of communal solidarity has yielded the desired results. Mélenchon, who participated in “marches against Islamophobia” and compared Muslims in 2022 to Jews in 1942, predicted the “creolization” of France: “By 2050, 50 percent of the French population will be mixed”.
“I am the only one who defended the Muslims”, Mélenchon openly claims . He was heralded in working-class neighborhoods, in particular thanks to the Muslim vote, according to Le Figaro.
Although other candidates had also supported the claims of political Islam, “There is a category in which Jean-Luc Mélenchon is very strong, where he is the strongest”, Brice Teinturier (Ipsos) warned. “[T]hese are French Muslims, where he is between 45% and 49%…”
In short, a new national dynamic can be seen: demography governs democracy. The common theme between supporters of these candidates and supporters of Islam appears to be an aversion to Western societies, which, using the progressive language and symbols of “woke”, they apparently want to displace — ostensibly to impose a more “inclusive” and “cosmopolitan” society that would be austere, forbidding and fundamentalist.
When the city of Grenoble, for instance, recently approved wearing burkinis in its public swimming pools, the mayor justified the change as a form of social inclusion. “The mayor of Grenoble”, Céline Pina wrote in Le Figaro, “adopts the arguments and rhetorical formulas of the Muslim Brotherhood: talking about freedom to impose sexism.”
This wokeism talk pretends to be “inclusive” but carefully excludes entire groups on the clearly racist basis of skin color (whites) or ethnicity (Jews). Wokeism, filled with progressive, racist talk, pretends not to be racist but meanwhile is imbued with the syrupy racist ideology of “diversity” — which advocates replacing a society by immigration. It also promotes political correctness, a deadly virus that paralyzes the vital reflexes of the West. Wokeism is the ideal ground for the debut of political Islam in Europe.
France Strategy, an autonomous institution accountable to the Prime Minister, published a shocking study last October, which showed that there are 25 cities in France where the percentage of non-European young people is between 70% and 79%. More than 70% reside in four Seine-Saint-Denis cities.[2]
“There is an extraordinary correlation between Mélenchon’s vote and the share of immigrants of non-European origin in the Paris region,” wrote the analyst Sylvain Catherine.
In Montpellier, “there are more practicing Muslims than practicing Christians, and while the churches are not very crowded, the mosques are full”, the Midi Librenewspaper reported. There, Mélenchon found an immense reserve of votes. In Créteil, for instance, a symbolic city of immigration in the Marne Valley, Mélenchon received 40%.
Erwan Seznec, the author of the book Nos élus et l’islam (“Our Elected and Islam”), detailed how so many of the French leadership have allowed Islamism to flourish in these cities. From Denain to Perpignan, sizeable numbers of elected officials have ambiguous relations with their Muslim voters. In exchange for votes, they watch out for their homes, jobs and prayer rooms. Islamist activists, in turn, fight to care for their supportive politicians. Bernard Rougier, author of the book Les territoires conquis de l’islamisme, (“The Territories Conquered by Islamism”) cautioned two years ago that “In the next elections, in Mélenchon’s party, there will be candidates of this Islamist fabric…”
Mélenchon received 61% percent in centers such as Trappes, a symbol of the Islamization of provincial cities:
“70 percent Muslim, 40-50 different nationalities that take on the appearance of some Lebanese localities, microworlds enclosed in the perimeter of another religious reality and civilization. The ethnic grid of the Balkans is also not far off.”
In Roubaix, in a city already 40% Muslim, Mélenchon received 50% of the vote. In Mulhouse, the Alsatian city chosen by Macron to launch a project to contain political Islam, Mélenchon won 36% of the vote. In Nîmes, where Mélenchon effortlessly won, non-European immigration is expanding and, according to Le Monde, “the share of inhabitants born outside Europe rose from 7.3% to 16.3% of the population between 1990 and 2017”.
In the second round of the elections, most Mélenchon voters opted for Macron. During Ramadan, the Great Mosque of Paris even organized for Macron’s re-election an iftar-dinner. Christophe Castaner, Macron’s former interior minister and president of his party, attended it. The votes for Macron rolled in. Trappesvoted 74%, for Macron, 20 points above the national average; in Roubaix, 70%; in Grigny, 70%; in La Courneuve, 77%; in Bondy 74%; in Colombes, 80%; in Les Lilas, 83.5%; in Bobigny, 75.5%…. These are the symbolic cities of Saint-Denis.
In the northern districts of Marseille, which had largely voted for Mélenchon in the first round, Macron easily won. Those are the neighborhoods that are home to a large part of the Islamic community — 30% of the total population of the city and a quarter of all the inhabitants of the city. “The northern districts of Marseille”, wrote: Le Figaro, “a ‘small city’ where communitarianism is a daily reality…”
The same dynamic can also be seen in Germany. Research by MedienDienst Integration noted that 83 parliamentarians in the newly elected German Bundestag — 11.3% of the total — have foreign origins. The percentage of German parliamentarians of foreign origin has increased for the third consecutive time since the national elections of 2013 (by 5.9%) and 2017 (by 8%). 18 new Members of Parliament are of Turkish origin, and 24 have Balkan roots…. The number of Social Democratic MPs (the winners of last September’s elections) who have an immigrant background went from 10% to 17% in one election.
This ever-increasing percentage of Turkish, Bosnian, Kosovar, Iranian and Iraqi politicians will increasingly influence the choices of the first European power in matters of immigration and multiculturalism. The left-wing party Die Linke has the highest percentage of parliamentarians with an immigrant background: 28.2%. And tomorrow? Herbert Brücker, the head of migrant research at the Federal Institute for Employment Research, told the German newspaper Die Welt:
“Currently a quarter of the people in Germany have an immigrant background. In 20 years, it will be at least 35 percent, but it could also exceed 40 percent… What we see in big cities today will be normal for the whole country in the future. In a city like Frankfurt, we will have between 65 percent and 70 percent”.
“The result of the presidential election reveals that Mélenchon’s strategy aimed at the Muslim community paid off,” noted the anthropologist Florence Bergeaud-Blackler. But with what consequences in the future?
“The massive vote for Mélenchon is proof that the strategy of community victimization that began in the 1990s produced what it was intended to produce in one or two generations. Mélenchon gathered a large part of the Muslim vote, which obviously does not make it a Muslim or Islamist party, but only a ‘cuckoo’ party. Like the cuckoo hatching its eggs in the nest of a bird of another species, a cuckoo party shelters and protects ideas that are not its own. The Muslim Brotherhood have a strategy that they expressed in their plans from the 1980s: to form an alliance with the most docile parties to propagate their ideas”.
What will happen in France in five years with demographics turning upside down? Will there be a scenario as in the novel Submission by Michel Houellebecq, with a “moderate” Muslim Brother elected as president? Or those with similar policies who take the lead thanks to their pact with the Muslim communities?
“Today,” the philosopher Alain Finkielkraut reflected, “there are 145 mosques in Seine-Saint-Denis compared to 117 churches.” The former are overcrowded, the latter are half-empty.
The future is here already.
[1] To be exact, Mélenchon received 61.13% percent in Saint-Denis, 17 points more than in 2017. In Montreuil, Mélenchon collected 55.35%. In Bobigny, 60% of the vote. Across the Seine-Saint-Denis, Mélenchon reached 49.09% -- a dramatic increase compared to 2017, when he gained only 34.02%. In Argenteuil, the third largest city in Île-de-France, he came first with 49.89%. Across Île-de-France, the largest French department which also includes Paris, Mélenchon largely defeated Macron.
In the Islamized Seine-Saint-Denis, Mélenchon won in 37 out of 40 cities. Mélenchon won in Marseille (31%), Le Havre (30%), Lille (40%), Lyon (31%), Montpellier (40%), Saint-Etienne (33%), Toulouse (36%), Strasbourg (35%), Rennes (36%) and Nantes (33% ). In Marseille and Lyon (second and third largest cities of France) Muslims already make up 30% percent of the population, and a quarter of the students of public schools in Strasbourg are Islamic. In Mulhouse the Muslim community is already 25% percent of the population. In Paris, Mélenchon came in second with 29%of the vote. In Aubervilliers there was a plebiscite. "Here the municipality is working with Muslims to build a large mosque", said the panel installed on a piece of land in Rue Saint-Denis in Aubervilliers. Islamic clientelism is in evidence in "9-3", the French department where 30% of the population is now Muslim.
[2] La Courneuve (64%), Villetaneuse (73%), Clichy -sous-Bois (72%), Aubervilliers (70%). In La Courneuve, Mélenchon had 64% of the votes, in Clichy-sous-Bois 60%, and so on.

Europol predicts Latin American style street violence in EU
Europe’s top police agency Europol is warning of an extreme increase in violence on European streets. Europol director Catherine De Bolle warned of a “level of violence on European streets that we have never seen before. Until now, we only knew this from Latin America.”
De Bolle described the decryption of the chat application EnchroChat, used by criminals, by investigators as an important blow against organised crime in an interview with the Welt am Sonntag newspaper in Germany. It has provided a whole new understanding of how organised crime threatens European security, the rule of law and democracy, she said.
De Bolle added: “Our conclusion is: we underestimated the danger.” Drug trafficking continues to play a major role for criminals, she said. Cartels have realised that it is profitable to produce certain drugs in Europe. “We discovered synthetic drugs from the Netherlands on the Brazilian market, for example, which surprised us a lot,” De Bolle said.
Of the approximately 2 000 tonnes of cocaine produced annually in the Andean region, 60 percent is now destined for the European market, she said. In the past, most of the production was destined for the US market.
In addition to violence and drugs, the extent of corruption has been underestimated. More than half of the criminal organisations use corruption, for example to get dock workers to cooperate in drug smuggling. This also involves very specific threats. “Criminals take photos of the target’s wives and children to pressure them to cooperate.”
Eighty percent of criminal organisations set up legal businesses alongside the illegal ones to launder their money. “The illegal business infiltrates our economy and destabilises the system,” De Bolle warned.

France: After stealing from firefighters and threatening Jean-Michel Blanquer with death, Rayanne goes to Syria to practice using weapons. The influencer filmed his “shooting practice” and posted it on social media
In October 2021, Rayanne B. appeared quite proudly on social networks. After stealing from and insulting firefighters and then threatening police officers and Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer with death, the young man was sentenced to mere citizenship training and community service. After his release, the 21-year-old influencer with 175,000 subscribers made a comeback. On May 28, Rayanne showed up on Snapchat holding weapons.
In a first video, he holds a Kalashnikov and chants: “I hope I hit all my enemies” before firing several volleys into the void. In a second video, Rayanne B. is armed with a rocket launcher this time and fires a rocket into the middle of the landscape where he is surrounded by several people. After the act, he spoke out on Snapchat, explaining that he had been arrested by authorities on the Syrian-Lebanese border. “We were one or two days (in) such a cop thing, they asked us a lot of questions and we were fed 8000 cakes,” he asserted. Rayanne B. and his friends were then “thrown out of the country” and ” hastily sent back to France”.
France: Former rapper Diam’s asserts that she would have died “without the Qur’an”
In her documentary "Salam", which was screened at the Cannes Film Festival, the former French rap star talks about her conversion to Islam, which she says prevented her from "blowing herself up".
Her appearances had become rare. Diam’s the former rapper, who presented her documentary Salam at the Cannes Film Festival, spoke at length about her conversion to Islam in an interview with the newspaper Le Parisien on Thursday ( May 26) after, among other things, attempting suicide. ”I was drugged with medication that first knocked me out and then uninhibited me,” the former hip-hop singer said. Before assuring, “If I hadn’t opened the Koran one night on a beach in Mauritius and found meaning in my life, I think I really would have killed myself.”
The now 41-year-old also came back to her decision to wear a veil, which surprised herself at the time. ”I also see the difficulties of an unveiled woman, the pressure, the judgements, the cult of beauty she can suffer from. I myself have forgotten all that. My beauty is for me, my husband and my family,” she said.
Another interview, this time filmed, that the former rapper gave to the media company Brut also caused many responses on social networks. Journalist Caroline Fourest, known for her vehement defence of secularism, called those remarks she made “pure propaganda”, among other things.
Others, like Bruno Attal, a police unionist and parliamentary candidate for Reconquête, described Augustin Trapenard’s interview in the online medium as ” compliant “.

Woman Claims Paris Opera Rejected Her for Job over Internship at Conservative Newspaper
A Frenchwoman who participated in a five-month internship at a conservative French newspaper claims she was rejected for a position at the Paris opera due to her right-wing past.
The woman, named Adelaide, claims that she applied for several jobs following her internship at the Valeurs Actuelles newspaper and received a job offer from the Association pour le rayonnement de l’Opéra national de Paris (AROP), who gave her an interview earlier this week.
In an opinion article for Valeurs Actuelles, she said her experience during the interview began normally until the interviewer questioned her on her past at the newspaper and articles she had written for other French conservative media outlets, branding them “far-right”.
“Not wishing that ‘my past’ would interfere with the interview, I explained to [the manager] that having studied five years at the Sorbonne and forged precious links with left-wing students, I have no trouble working with people who defend ideas opposed to mine,” Adelaide wrote, explaining that she was impartial in her work.
Nevertheless, she said that the interviewer told her that other employees were from “immigrant backgrounds” and she would not be able to “promote the diversity line of the Paris Opera,” and that the interview was therefore a waste of both of their time.
After being confronted on the issue of diversity of opinion, the interviewer allegedly told Adelaide, “Madame, racism is not an opinion, it is a crime,” allegedly adding: “The world of culture is left-wing, don’t waste your time applying.”
Woke hiring practices in various institutions are nothing new, however. In December of last year, for example, Oxford University in the United Kingdom proposed a system of woke scores when considering the qualifications of prospective academics looking to work at the university.
Oxford’s race equality task force even demanded that candidates show their commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) as part of the hiring process.
