A European nation, former colonial power, permanent seat on the UNSC

France is a large European country and former West European colonial power. It has had a fairly strong democratic tradition, but civil liberties, particularly freedom of speech have been rapidly reeled in, particularly since January 2015. In 2013, France was #6 in the world in terms of military expenditure. In 2018-19 the Yellow vests movement carried out a sustain protest against the French government. It plays an important role in being on the UN Security Council, coming from being victorious (not mentioning Vichy France) in WW2.

THE HISTORY OF THE CIA: France’s Secret Armies and the Pan-Europa Project [pt. 5.3]

Full article: French deep state

As is many European nations, Operation Gladio was very active in France during the Cold War. The French group, the Rose des vents (meaning wind/compass rose, not coincidentally the same image as the NATO symbol) has a dramatic history there. Formally designed as a anti-communist guerilla organization, it meddled more and more in internal politics, participating in de Gaulle's coup in 1958, then in a coup attempt against de Gaulle in 1961 and several assassination attempts he narrowly escaped.

To counter this, de Gaulle built his own loyal service, the Service d'Action Civique, plus evicting NATO from France in 1966, accusing the CIA of manipulating the West and being involved in covert warfare.

Le Cercle

Full article: Le Cercle

Konrad Adenauer meets with Antoine Pinay and Jean Violet at the earliest known meeting of Le Cercle, on 18th August 1958

Le Cercle is a major international deep state milieu. Starting around 1952, a secretive series of meetings began with French/German and a select few other West European officials and deep state operatives. The group continues to operated and may have played very important coordination role. This continues to later became less Eurocentric, with alternative meetings held in Washington DC.

"War on Terror"

Full article: “War on Terror”

Fear and islamophobia are being ramped up in French society, as in the rest of Western Europe, under the influence of Operation Gladio/B style "war on terror" events. The country is rapidly becoming militarized, with thousands of soldiers stationed to "protect key sites – from synagogues to art galleries, nursery schools to mosques and Métro stations". On 14 September 2010, the French government banned face-covering headgear, traditionally worn by Muslims.

2016 ISIS Cell In Saumur

Full article: 2016 Saumur Daesh Cell

A screenshot of the 23 September 2017 report of the Daesh cell in Saumur

On the afternoon of Wednesday 21 September 2016, ISIS flags, audio and video equipment, Arabic newspapers and a generator were found in a cave outside the French town of Saumur. After 2 hours of consultation between the authorities a commander from the local Écoles Militaires de Saumur stated that the contents of the cave were part of an "exercise" which was being carried out without police knowledge. This was reported the next day in a story entitled "Les terroristes de Daesh étaient en fait des militaires" ("The Deash terrorists were in fact (government) soldiers").

Freedom of Speech

Full article: Freedom of speech

Freedom of speech has been rapidly curtailed after the 2015 Charlie Hebdo attack, with many people being jailed under a November 2014 law which enables fast tracking of sentencing people for "defending terrorism." It seems so vaguely phrased that merely questioning the official narrative might be enough, even while drunk or speaking in jest, to have people found guilty. In November 2016, a teenager was found guilty of breaking "anti-terror" laws after naming his wifi network "Daesh 21".

Arms Production

France was the #4 nation worldwide as regards arms exports from 2012-2016.

Mass Surveillance

The Maximator-Alliance (named after a type of beer from the German brewery Augustiner-Bräu) is an alliance between the secret services of Denmark, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Sweden, comparable to the Five Eyes. It was founded in 1976 on the initiative of the Danish secret service and has operated largely undetected since then. The most important tool for reconnaissance and decryption was the sale of encryption devices with weak encryption methods. This was done via Crypto AG, a supposedly private Swiss company secretly owned by the BND and the CIA. The Alliance was only reported on after a leak by a Dutch whistleblower, who was found death not to long later.

COVID-19

On 15 October 2020, the BBC reported that "French police have raided the homes of senior government and health officials as part of an investigation into their handling of the coronavirus pandemic." Health workers were suspended for not taking the COVID vaccine.

Algiers putsch of 1961	“An insurrectionary power has established itself in Algeria by a military pronunciamento... This power has an appearance: a quartet of retired generals. It has a reality: a group of officers, partisan, ambitious and fanatical. This group and this quartet possess an expedient and limited knowledge of things. But they only see and understand the Nation and the world distorted by their delirium. Their enterprise leads directly towards a national disaster ... I forbid any Frenchman, and first of all any soldier, to execute a single one of their orders ... In the face of the misfortune which hangs over the country and the threat to the Republic, having taken advice from the Constitutional Council, the Prime Minister, the president of the Senate, the president of the National Assembly, I have decided to invoke article 16 of the Constitution [on the state of emergency and full special powers given to the head of state in case of a crisis]. Starting from this day, I will take, directly if the need arises, the measures which seem to me demanded by circumstances ... Frenchwomen, Frenchmen! Assist me!”	Charles de Gaulle	1961
The Auriol massacre	“François Mitterrand said: These people are still very powerful. They will try to destabilize the regime. What happened to Salvador Allende can happen to me. I know it." He tells me, without details, that he received threats after May 10. One day, during a trip to the provinces, someone slips a message into his hand to prove that he can be assassinated, when the time comes, without difficulty.”	Jacques Attali
