The buzz triggered by the "Dieudonn? affair" has the merit of making clear that the
pseudo-comic is now a 100% right-wing propagandist. Racist as government tax cheater as
the capitalists, it is not anti-system, but remains dangerous to the success he meets.
---- At first, the speech Dieudonn? have the appearance of dementia. So when there two
years ago, he believed in an interview with Iranian television that Zionism was
"perversion, vice, falsehood", which means "both exist in both underground and the general
day "and" below, the entire planet is affected and infiltrated by this disease." ----
However, Dieudonn? is perfectly lucid and aware of what he does. He handles the challenge
with skill to play the victim and reinforce the belief of his supporters in a large plot
of "Zionists" (meaning Jews), who pulled the strings in the heart of the system.
January has been an illustration of this phenomenon. Originally, a remark during a
"sketch" the journalist Patrick Cohen, regretting that he did not finish in the gas
chamber, resulting in a rather understandable indignation. Some dumplings later Valls
bounces off the controversy by calling prefects to cancel shows antisemitic.
Antisemitism unambiguously
In Nantes, January 9, the order of the prefecture of Loire-Atlantique prohibiting the show
to be held the same evening is first suspended by the administrative tribunal of Nantes,
but the decision itself is canceled by the Council State few hours later. Such rapidity of
judgment, exceptional from the highest administrative authority of the State, could only
suggest to spirits, such as the dieudonnistes already have conspis inclinations that
pressure at the highest level had occurred. Maybe did they also, for once, not entirely wrong.
Certainly Dieudonn? out of the episode with a clear anti-Semitism for many people
reputation. But for a minority too politicized to see through large strings of Dieudonn?
strategy, it is now with the prestige resistant, person against whom "everyone" in the
"system" is.
However, Dieudonn? has nothing anti-system. His anti-Semitism, no doubt sincere, is also a
business, allowing it to fill its rooms and sell tickets several tens of euros,
substituting racist provocations monomaniac at humor failed.
Dieudonn? is also, like many French capitalists, a tax evader: in October 2012, part of
his property had been seized to allow the IRS to collect 887,000 euros of unpaid taxes.
Trade hatred is clearly profit.
Dieudonn? is also under investigation for money laundering and "fraudulent organization of
insolvency" to escape fines totaling approximately EUR 65,000, imposed particularly for
its anti-Semitic remarks.
Amalgam
Dieudonn? is not anti-Zionist, if by that we mean the movement of solidarity with the
Palestinian people in their struggle for their rights. Never, in fact, it brought any
tangible support to this movement. Worse, he has only join the pro-Israel right in the
Jewish / Zionist amalgam of organizations like the Representative Council of Jewish
Institutions in France (CRIF) strives to make in order to absorb any movement of
solidarity with the Palestinians some form of anti-Semitism - even. We have seen most
recently with the campaign against Boycott Divestment-Sanctions campaign (BDS), led to the
call from Palestinian civil society to implement peacefully economic pressure on Israel.
Of BDS activists were able to be prosecuted and sometimes condemned in recent years.
Dieudonn?, it promotes the amalgam between Zionism which it claims, for example with the
list presented to the 2009 European Alain Soral, and anti-Semitism that effectively
spreads, so does common cause with the enemies the Palestinian people.
For his anti-Semitism, Dieudonne also the alter ego of all those who, to the top of the
state, trying to enjoy the anguish caused by the crisis to stigmatize a population. As
Manuel Valls, specialist racist against Roma and Muslims.
Dangerous propagandist
But if racism seems to be, unfortunately, one of the best things shared in France today,
however it should be noted that the outputs of Dieudonn? are run more ink than others,
though of the same ilk. Thus, Gilles Bourdouleix, deputy mayor of Cholet (Maine-et-Loire),
said about the Roma: "Like what Hitler did not kill enough perhaps." About a population
that was as Jews, being a project of extermination by the Nazis, the words do not have
much to envy to those of Dieudonn? on Patrick Cohen. If he had to resign from the Union of
Democrats and Independents (UDI), the politician has retained its mandates without
arousing the indignation of the current quarter. But how could it be otherwise when the
Interior Minister himself says that Roma are not intended to integrate in France, and
encourages evictions?
Dieudonn? is not less dangerous as successful for a long time propagandist. Besides his
performances, for which he was able to sell some tickets in 5000, as Nantes, his videos on
YouTube have accumulated 40 million views since March 2011 in its chain "iamdieudo" and is
followed by 260,000 subscribers. Knowing that regularly shows with personalities of the
extreme right, as denier Robert Faurisson, or recently with Serge Ayoub, who has provided
a forum for the leader of the extreme right can spread his misinformation about the murder
Clement Meric, murdered by his flock. Dieudonn? poses the risk of popularizing ideas of
extreme right and racist conspiracy. It is to be taken seriously. If the government has
only recently become aware of the danger, we fight for years and will continue.
