Rigouste, "The merchants of fear, the band Bauer and security
ideology" (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
In 2011, Cuervo already chronicled in these pages the first edition of this little book
that is always beneficial topical today and which has also been re-released in May 2013 in
an expanded edition. Member of the PS until 1994, Alain Bauer is taking the security
ideology during a stay in the United States. It brings together scholars and professionals
from the anti-left of the far right in the 1960s, ultra-liberal and neo-conservative
right. Upon arrival at the Grand Orient of France head in 2000 expanding its network of
economic and political leaders. ---- The basic idea is that now, crime takes many forms,
with no identifiable direction. This elusiveness permits designation as an enemy any
individual or group so little protest. We understand that the security issues have artificial.
Bauer has created his own security company AB Associates. Judge and jury, he and his band
are maneuvering to play the dual role of experts and providers. A safe market has created
for itself, by the multiplication of "studies" on delinquency rates, and deployment of
provocative police forces in popular neighborhoods. Meanwhile, Bauer is working to conquer
intellectual legitimacy. By the creation or the infiltration reviews - Brave New World,
the European Elite - or research structures - Social Work Institute, Institute of Social
History, National Institute of Advanced Studies security and justice - for police and
judicial approach. By the development of "niche" in the mainstream media: the appearance
of "experts" in C in air on France 5, realization and production of the documentary The
Muslims say no to Islamism (broadcast by Arte) of Antoine Vitkine and Daniel Leconte.
Canvassing for diagnostics and local plans "security" bearing fruit demand of
municipalities explodes. Prey to the effects of ultra liberal policies, the company is
ripe to join the security ideology.
Become central themes in the campaign of Chirac in 2002. Sarkozy ends the work of the
Interior and the presidency. It is then the institutions that turn: unification of RG and
DST within the DCRI, merging various bodies to create the Defence Council and National
Security, the Superior Court of the training and strategic research.
Activists in the UNEF-ID in the 1980s, Bauer and Manuel Valls emerge again in the late
1990s to the PS rocker openly repressive.
The appointment of Valls for the Interior in 2012, then head of the government, message
value. "From Bauer and Raufer are mass-produced each year in large schools [...]. The band
at Bauer owes its longevity to this opportunism that allows it to retain a place at the
table of all parties of government. Safe ideologues mission to legitimize the control,
monitoring and suppression of all resistance [...] or are against the interests of the
ruling classes. Do you even lift
