A first-person monologue recorded as a YouTube video arguing that Emmanuel Macron represents a corrupt, system-backed continuity (likened to Hollande and to Hillary Clinton), while Marine Le Pen has a real chance in the upcoming second round. The speaker—who identifies as Algerian—urges listeners to remain active, rejects the logic of submission to Islamist threats (arguing that conciliation only strengthens them), criticizes the French media and political class for degenerating into censorship and groupthink, and explains that anger at the political oligarchy now largely motivates their support for Le Pen.
Hello, my friends. A week ago, I made a video about the first round, and I wasn't extremely optimistic. Do you remember that? And since then, things have changed. Things have evolved a lot. Today it's Monday, the second round in less than a week. And I'm starting to believe, I'm really starting to believe that you have a good chance of reclaiming the destiny of your country next weekend. We mustn't fall asleep. It's clear and it's not a done deal yet. But I have a hard time. When I read the polls in France, I have a hard time seeing where they're going to find the 60% of people who are going to vote for Macron. Genius. It doesn't sink in. Macron has been Hollandized beyond all our hopes. Today, people are clearly starting to associate him with his mentor, his creator, Mr. 4%. Even African dictators in the most sincere polls don't reach 4% satisfaction. He easily exceeds that threshold. So what I want to say today is that Mr. Macron risks playing not the Hollande of the day, but the Hillary Clinton of the day. He will be to the French presidential election what Mrs. Hillary was to the American election. The system, if you like. The system is too sure of itself, you understand? It means that either it is too sure of itself or it no longer has people of the intelligence of a Francois Mitterrand, for example. It can no longer line up this kind of big shot, you understand? Because I think that it is in the process of. It is in the midst of a complete degeneration from the inside. So it can no longer come up with anything better than Manuel Macron. There you have it. And I think that's going to cost them dearly because they're up against Marine Le Pen, who is very controlled. She's changed her communication a lot. I've noticed that she's really improved her game. So now I think there's a real chance. There's a very, very real chance that she'll win. That was the first thing I wanted to tell you. And it's still a message of hope. We just have to keep up the pressure for now. And what I also wanted to tell you is that I've received a few messages from people telling me that apparently if Marine Le Pen wins and starts expelling the jihadists and all, that these jihadists, knowing that they're cornered, might start taking action and carrying out attacks. That's a very interesting approach. I'm sure that these are brilliant journalists who have shared this concern. But if you like It's a bit like if I were to say to you, look, I have something swelling here. I don't know what it is. However, I don't want to go to the doctor because I'm scared, okay? It's swelling up visibly day after day. It's getting worse. It hurts more and more, it's changing color. But I'm not going to go to the doctor because apparently if I go to the doctor, he'll touch it and it won't work out. It's a choice. It's again, once again, we're not faced with a situation of good and evil. We're faced with a situation of civilizational choice. Okay? And you can indeed, if you are afraid, if this fear is important to you, indeed, you should vote for Macron in that case. And he will not touch the Islamists. He will try to be conciliatory with them. And in the meantime, what are they going to do? They will continue to gain more and more influence, to strengthen their ranks, to arm themselves more and more. And one day they will go on the attack. It will not be the Battaclan. You will not say here I am saying the name of Battaclan. What is the B Clan? It is a. It. It is a theater. Ah, well, one day we will talk about the names of villages or small towns when we talk about terrorist attacks, okay? It is like it is with us. It is as if I told you, Ben Talha, for example. Ben Talha is not a theater in Algiers. It is a village that was massacred from the first to the last. Do you understand what I mean? When we let terrorism progress because we are afraid, because we think that a little submission will allow us to live in relative security with the occasional attack. I think we are not going very far. We are not going very far because we have to understand that with Islamism, submission is not. Look at Pakistan. Pakistan, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, more Islamized than that. You can't do it. Okay. Do they escape the attacks? No, no. Submission is useless. I can tell you that. It won't help you at all. So there you have it. I understand that France is tempted by submission. They say to themselves that they are going to let them kill a few of us from time to time. Like, well, let's just share the fire, as they say. From time to time, there will be a da. Disk. Nothing. He will want to kill. Well, you let him. He'll kill a few people. We'll lay flowers, we'll light candles, and that's it. I understand. This vision, I understand in a context of pure cowardice, it's clear that, yes, it can be defended. But what I'm trying to tell you is that it won't help you. This reasoning doesn't hold water. Do you understand? This reasoning is wrong with the Islamists, not only will you submit, not only will you have attacks, but they will continue to get angry. So I think you'd better take control of your country, control of your destiny, and then clean it up, really, Like Sarkozy said, But he didn't do it well. I think there's only one person who will do it, and that's Marine Le Pen. And what's also happening is that today, lets see the aggressiveness of the French system. There are journalists today who are in a total collective state of hysteria. They have lost all dignity. Today you just have to not. And I haven't seen that. Huh? I can tell you something, my friends. I'm going to tell you something. You've fallen more than you can shake a stick at. Seriously, where am I from? I'm from Algeria, okay? Just for you, for your information, I'm from Algeria. When I was little, in elections, there was a single party that presented a single candidate who won the election with 99.9% of the votes. Okay? That's where I come from. So I don't come from a place where we have a great democratic tradition. But I can tell you that even taking into account my experience, I have never seen a country fall so low like that. That is to say, even in Algeria, under the single party, when a newspaper did not want to brush the boots of the system's sole candidate, other journalists did not attack that newspaper. Okay? There were newspapers that specialized in what we called shida in our country. The brusher, he brushed. But this is the first time. This is brushing with blood power. Not only does the brusher brush, but he looks around him and soothes those who do not brush enough. And if you take it from an African, this has never been seen in history. It is really very, very special to your country. I find it sad. I find it sad because, you know, at the time when we had the single party, the. When we had the single candidate, of course, I took your political alternation. Alternation in appearance, at least. I took this change over as a true democratic example. And I think I took some of my democratic sensibility from you by observing what is happening in your country. And today I. I still find it unfortunate that you have gone backwards in terms of politics, public debate, collective intelligence, that you have gone backwards well below the time when we were in the single party system. That makes me sad. Okay, I'm going to leave you. But despite this sadness, I'll leave you with a positive message, an optimistic message. Keep up the pressure. Make him look like a Dutchman. Make him laugh, okay? You have to make him laugh and make him laugh. That's what you have to do with him. Both. And then I'm going to tell you something personal. Tell you something personal. You know, before this election campaign began, 90% of my motivation was to support the national front program and 10% was against the system. Okay? It was a desire to break this rotten and corrupt system that threatens us even in our countries of origin. You know, I am Algerian. I have a certain fondness for the French system. It's not just for you that I'm fighting. It's for my own sake too. But the fact remains that today, seeing these old rascals, seeing this corrupt oligarchy running for the soup with such arrogance, I can tell you that the proportions have been reversed. Despite all the support first have for Marine Le Pen's program today, 90% of what drives me is seeing these disappointed people. It's seeing their faces on Sunday evenings, just wanting to get rid of them from the landscape or from the visual, as they say. Okay, I'll leave you. I'm going home. I can't stand this car anymore. I was in town and I started testing perfumes, to be honest, and I've tested quite a few and I can't even breathe in this car. There are at least 50 perfumes that smell like this. See you soon.
