Super Cool Righteous Member of the Belgian Chamber of Representatives gives truly unbelievable speech

By Madison Ruppert: Member of the Belgian Chamber of Representatives for the People’s Party Laurent Louis gives one of the single most unbelievable speeches I’ve ever heard from a politician.

The speech, which clocks in just under 14 minutes and was translated into English by Geraldine Feuillien, leaves no stone unturned.

Louis covers everything from the intervention in Mali (which he characterizes as a neo-colonialist operation and voted against), the so-called do-gooders both left and right wingers or from the center who are today licking the boots of our corrupted powers,” and even the September 11, 2001 attacks.

He doesn’t spare journalists either, saying, I don’t have much respect neither for the journalists who have the audacity to label the opponents as mentally retarded while basically, they know very well that these opponents are right.”

Speaking of 9/11 he said, Haven’t we created September 11th, after all, to justify the invasions, arbitrary arrest, torture and massacre of innocent populations?”

Louis also points out the duplicity of the reasoning behind the intervention in Mali.
But yes! We have to act, otherwise the evil Islamists will impose Sharia law in Mali, stoning women and cutting the thugs’ hands off. Oh! The intention is truly noble. Noble and salutary for sure,” Louis said.

But then why is it, Good Lord, why is it that our countries have contributed in Tunisia and Libya to the accession to power of Islamists who have decided to apply this Sharia Law in these countries which were still not so long ago, modern and progressive?”
Louis asked.
I might add Egypt to that list since their so-called revolution (which I questioned back in 2011) has resulted in little to no progress and a great deal of continued violence and death, not to mention a state of emergency.
“I invite you to ask the young Tunisians who have launched the revolution in Tunisia, if they are happy with their current situation? This is all hypocrisy,” Louis continued. “The purpose of this war in Mali is very clear.”
“And since no one talks about it, I will. The purpose is to fight against China and allow our American ally to maintain its presence in Africa and the Middle East. This is what guides these neo-colonialists operations,” Louis said.
“And you will see, when the military operation will be over, France will, of course, keep its military bases in Mali. These bases will be a benefit to the Americans as well,” he said.
“And at the same time, as has always been the case, Western corporations will put their hands on juicy contracts that will once again deprive re-colonized countries of their wealth and raw materials,” Louis said.
Unfortunately, this is precisely the blueprint that the West has followed in the past. There is no indication that it will change in this case.

Thank you, Mr President.

0:03
Dear Ministers, dear Colleagues.

0:06
Belgium is indeed the land of surrealism.

0:08
This morning we learned in the media that the Belgian army is incapable

0:12
of fighting some extremist soldiers having radical Islamist beliefs

0:17
existing within its own ranks and who can not be dismissed

0:21
by lack of legal means. However, at the same time,

0:26
we decide to help France in its war against “Terror”

0:31
by providing logistical support for its operation in Mali.

0:36
What wouldn’t we do in order to fight against terrorism outside our borders?

0:42
I just hope we took care not to send for this anti-terrorist operation,

0:47
in Mali, these much talked about Belgian Islamists soldiers!

0:53
I seem to be joking, but what is going on in the world today does not make me laugh at all.

0:59
It doesn’t make me laugh, because without any doubt,

1:02
the leaders of our Western countries

1:04
are taking the peoples for imbeciles

1:07
with the help and support of the Media

1:09
which are nothing more today than an organ of propaganda of the ruling powers.

1:14
Around the world, military actions

1:19
and regime’s destabilization are becoming more and more frequent.

1:22
Preventive war has become the rule.

1:25
And today, in the name of democracy and the fight against terrorism,

1:29
our states grant themselves the right to violate the sovereignty of independent countries

1:34
and to overthrow legitimate leaders.

1:36
There has been Iraq and Afghanistan, the wars of the American lie.

1:41
Came later, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, where

1:44
thanks to your decisions, our country has been “first in line”

1:49
to participate in crimes against humanity, in each case to overthrow

1:54
progressive and moderated regimes

1:56
and to replace them by Islamist regimes,

2:00
and – isn’t it weird ? -

2:02
their 1st will was to impose Sharia law.

2:04
This is exactly what is currently happening in Syria

2:07
where Belgium is shamefully funding the arming of the Islamist rebels

2:12
who are trying to overthrow Bashar Al Assad.

2:15
Thus, in the midst of economic crisis,

2:18
as more and more Belgians can no longer house themselves,

2:21
feed, heat and cure themselves

2:23
- Yeah, I can hear what a filthy populist I am -

2:26
well, the Minister of Foreign Affairs decided

2:30
to offer the Syrian rebels 9 million euros!

2:33
Of course, they’ll try to make us believe that this money will

2:37
be used for humanitarian purposes … one more lie!

2:40
And as you can see, for months, our country is only participating

2:44
to put in place, Islamic regimes in North Africa and the Middle East.

2:49
So, when they come and pretend to go to war

2:52
in order to fight against terrorism in Mali, well… I feel like to laugh.

2:56
It’s false! Under the appearance of good actions,

2:58
we only intervene to defend financial interests

3:02
in a complete neo-colonialist mindset.

3:06
It’s a real nonsense

3:08
to go to help France in Mali in the name of the fight against islamic terrorism

3:13
when at the same time, we support in Syria

3:16
the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad by Islamist rebels

3:19
who want to impose Sharia Law, as was done in Tunisia and in Libya

3:24
It is about time to stop lying to us and treating people like imbeciles

3:28
The time has come to tell the truth.

3:33
Arming the Islamist Rebels, as Westeners have, in the past

3:37
armed Bin Laden, that friend of the Americans before they turned against him,

3:42
well, the western countries are taking the opportunity

3:45
to place military bases in the newly conquered countries

3:49
while favoring domestic companies.

3:52
Everything is therefore strategic.

3:55
In Iraq, our American allies,

3:58
have put their hands on the country’s oil wealth.

4:01
In Afghanistan, it was its opium and drugs

4:05
always useful when it comes to make lots of money pretty quickly.

4:10
In Libya, in Tunisia, in Egypt, or then again in Syria,

4:15
the aim was and is still today

4:18
to overthrow moderate powers,

4:20
to replace them by Islamist powers who very quickly,

4:23
will become troublesome and that we will shamelessly attack

4:28
pretending once again,

4:30
to fight terrorism or protect Israel.

4:34
Thus, the next targets are already known.

4:37
Within a few months, I bet that

4:40
our eyes will turn to Algeria

4:42
and eventually to Iran.

4:46
To go to war, to free people from an outside aggressor, is noble

4:52
But go to war to defend the interests of the USA,

4:55
To go to war to defend the interests of big companies such as AREVA,

5:00
go to war to put our hands on gold mines,

5:03
has nothing noble at all and it reveals our countries to be attackers and thugs!

5:09
No one dares to speak, but I will not shut up!

5:12
and if my battle makes me look like an enemy of this system who flaunts

5:18
the Human Rights in the name of financial, geo-strategic

5:21
and neo-colonialist interests, so be it!

5:26
Flaunting and exposing this regime is a duty and makes me proud

5:31
And honestly, I apology for my low class speech, but

5:36
fuck you all, the so-called do-gooders,

5:38
both left and right wingers or from the center

5:41
who are today licking the boots of our corrupted powers

5:45
and who will be pleased to ridicule me.

5:48
Fuck you all, leaders who are playing with your bombs

5:51
as kids do in a playground!

5:53
Fuck you, you who pretend to be democrates

5:56
while you are nothing more than low class criminals.

5:59
I don’t have much respect neither for the journalists

6:02
who have the audacity to label the opponents as mentally retarded

6:06
while basically, they know very well that these opponents are right.

6:12
Finaly, I despise, at the highest point,

6:15
those who believe they are the kings of the world

6:17
and who are dictating their laws, because I AM on the side of truth,

6:21
the side of justice, the side of the innocent victims of looting at all cost.

6:28
And it is for this reason that I have decided to clearly oppose this resolution

6:34
that is sending our country to support France in its neo-colonialis operation.

6:38
Since the beginning of the French operation, the lie is organized.

6:43
We are told that France is only answering the call for help of a Malian president.

6:49
We almost forget that this president has no legitimacy

6:55
and that he was put in place to ensure the transition following the coup of March 2012.

7:01
Who supported this coup d’état? Who started it?

7:04
For who is this president of transition actually working?

7:07
This is the first lie!

7:10
The French president, François Hollande dares to pretend to wage this war

7:15
to fight against the jihadists who threaten (ohhhh do you realize!)

7:21
who threaten the French and European territory! But what an ugly lie!

7:24
By taking this official argument, while taking the opportunity

7:28
to frighten the population

7:30
increasing the terror allert level,

7:34
implementing the Vigipirate plan

7:36
our leaders and media are demonstrating an un-imaginable outrage!

7:43
How dare they use such a point while

7:46
France and Belgium have not hesitated to arm and support Jihadists in Libya

7:52
and that these same countries continue to support these jihadists in Syria.

7:58
This pretext hides strategic and economic purposes.

8:02
Our countries are no longer fearing inconsistency because everything is done to hide it.

8:07
But the inconsistency is well present.

8:10
It is not tomorrow that you’ll see a Malian citizen commit a act of terrorism in Europe.

8:15
No! Unless we’ll suddenly create one

8:19
so we can justify this military operation.

8:22
Haven’t we created september 11th, after all,

8:25
to justifiy the invasions, arbitrary arrest, torture

8:28
and massacre of innocent populations?

8:30
Thus, create a Malian terrorist is no big deal!

8:33
It must not be very complicated for our bloodthirsty leaders.

8:37
Another pretext used these recent months to justify military operations,

8:42
is the protection of human rights.

8:44
Ah! This pretext is still used today to justify the war in Mali.

8:49
But yes! We have to act, otherwise the evil Islamists

8:55
will impose Sharia law in Mali, stoning women and cutting the thugs’ hands off.

9:00
Oh! The intention is truly noble.

9:03
Noble and salutary for sure.

9:05
But then why is it, Good Lord, why is it that

9:09
our countries have contributed in Tunisia and Libya to the accession to power of Islamists

9:15
who have decided to apply this Sharia Law in these countries which were still

9:19
not so long ago, modern and progressive?

9:22
I invite you to ask the young Tunisians

9:25
who have launched the revolution in Tunisia,

9:28
if they are happy with their current situation? This is all hypocrisy.

9:33
The purpose of this war in Mali is very clear.

9:37
And since no one talks about it, I WILL.

9:39
The purpose is to fight against China

9:43
and allow our American ally to maintain its presence in Africa and the Middle East.

9:48
This is what guides these neo-colonialists operations.

9:51
And you will see, when the military operation will be over,

9:54
France will, of course, keep its military bases in Mali.

9:59
These bases will be a benefit to the Americans as well.

10:02
And at the same time, as has always been the case,

10:05
Western corporates will put their hands on juicy contracts

10:10
that will once again deprive re-colonized countries of their wealth and raw materials.

10:17
So let’s be clear,

10:20
the primary beneficiaries of this military operation,

10:22
will be the owners and shareholders of the French giant AREVA

10:27
who has been trying for years to obtain a uranium mine in Falea,

10:33
a town of 17,000 inhabitants located at 350 km from Bamako.

10:38
And I don’t know why, but my little finger is telling me

10:41
that it won’t take long before AREVA will eventually exploit that mine!

10:47
I don’t know, it’s an impression I have.

10:50
It is therefore out of question that I would take part to this mining colonialism,

10:54
that modern times colonialism.

10:56
And for those who doubt about my arguments,

10:59
I sincerely invite them

11:01
to learn about the wealth of Mali.

11:04
Mali is a major producer of gold, but recently it has been designated

11:08
- recently, eh….- as being a country that offers a world-class environment

11:13
for the exploitation of uranium. How strange!

11:16
One step closer to a war against Iran, it is obvious.

11:22
For all these reasons

11:25
and in order to not fall into the traps of lies they are tending us,

11:28
I’ve decided not to give my support to that intervention in Mali.

11:31
Therefore, I will vote against it.

11:32
And by doing so, I’m being consistent

11:35
since, I never supported in the past our criminal interventions in Libya

11:40
or in Syria, and so being the only MP in this country

11:44
to defend the non-interference and the fight against obscure interests.

11:49
I really think it is about time to put an end

11:51
to our participation to the UN or NATO and get out of the EU

11:55
if Europe, instead of providing peace

11:59
becomes a weapon of attack and destabilization of sovereign countries

12:04
submissive to financial rather than human interests

12:08
Finally, I can only urge our government

12:11
to remind the President Hollande

12:14
the obligations resulting from the Geneva Conventions

12:16
regarding the respect of prisoners of war.

12:19
Indeed, I was shocked to hear on television

12:22
from the mouth of the French President that his intention was to “destroy”

12:27
- I say “destroy” – Islamist terrorists.

12:31
So, I do not want the qualification to be used to name the opponents to the Malian regime

12:37
- it is always convenient today to talk about Islamic terrorists-

12:41
to be used to circumvent the obligations of any democratic state

12:47
in terms of respecting the rights of prisoners of war.

12:50
We expect such a respect from the Fatherland of Human Rights.

12:53
In conclusion, Let me emphasize

12:59
how lightly we decide to go to war

13:03
First, the government acts without any consent from the Parliament.

13:07
It appears that it has the right to.

13:08
It sends equipment, men to Mali

13:11
The Parliament subsequently reacts and when it responds, as today,

13:16
well, this institution happens to be composed of only 1/3 of its members.

13:21
Much less if we speak of the French speaking MP’s.

13:24
It is therefore a guilty lightness

13:28
which does not really surprises me,

13:30
coming from a Parliament of puppies,

13:32
submitted to the dictates of political parties. Thank you. (Translation: Geraldine Feuillien)
