Alexandre Adler was a French neoconservative historian, journalist and expert of contemporary geopolitics, the former USSR, and the Middle East. He attended the 2002 Bilderberg meeting.

A Maoist in his youth and then a member of the Communist Party (PCF), he shifted to the right at the end of the 1970s and later became close to U.S. neoconservatives, as did his wife Blandine Kriegel, and supported the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. Adler was the counsellor of Roger Cukiermann, chairman of the Conseil Représentatif des Institutions juives de France (CRIF, Representative Council of Jewish Institutions of France).

Education

Born in 1950 in Paris into a German-Jewish family, which survived World War II, Adler was a history graduate of the École normale supérieure (1969–1974).

Career

After working with the French daily Libération (1982–1992), Adler went on to become editorial director of Courrier International (1992–2002), a weekly selection of significant articles from the international press.

Adler worked as an editorialist for the French daily paper Le Monde and worked with several French weeklies, including Le Point and L'Express. He sat on the editorial board of the conservative French daily Le Figaro.

An academic specializing in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Alexandre Adler taught successively at the University of Paris VIII, at the ESCP Business School and was subsequently seconded to higher military education. He directed the chair for International Relations of France's Ministry of Defense Interarmy College of Defense (1992–1998) where he remained a professor of higher military learning.

Alexandre Adler died in Paris on 18 July 2023, aged 72.

Freemasonry

A freemason, he was initiated into the French National Grand Lodge in 1996 in the Lodge "The Lyre and Eleazar", left it and joined the Grand Lodge of France before also leaving it in 2015 to join the Grand Lodge of Cultures and Spirituality where he had reached the 33rd degree.

Positions

Adler was one of the rare French intellectuals to defend George W. Bush's candidacy against Al Gore during the 2000 presidential election.

He regularly denounced the "simplism" that the media and some French intellectuals show towards the United States, he supported the American wars in Afghanistan and Iraq of 2001 and 2003. He also said Pakistan was a country "at war with the United States" following the attacks of September 11, 2001.

He has described the movement against economic globalization as an "enemy of freedom". His positions have sometimes led to polemics, such as his qualification of France Inter radio journalist Daniel Mermet as a "Brezhnevian journalist," head of Politis newspaper Bernard Langlois as a "repugnant journalist" (journaliste répugnant) and Rony Brauman, former president of Médecins Sans Frontières France as a "Jewish traitor" because of his criticisms of Israel and the US' policies.

He supported the "yes" vote in the 2005 referendum on the European Constitution:

{{QB}The battle for the 'yes' vote will obviously be, under these conditions, the great battle for the freedom of our continent, and I hope the great defeat of all those anti-globalists who have both the candor and the impudence to declare themselves "anti-liberal", let's just say enemies of liberty.}}

The win of the 'no' campaign in the referendum was ignored subverted by the deep state, which pretended it didn't happen, and wrote multiple new EU-treaties.
