The French National Front: A Quasi-National European Party

There really is a lot to say about the so-called nationalist parties in Europe making so much noise in the media these days. The Danish Peoples Party, for instance, only drinks Israeli wine at their meetings and demands more money to be allocated for protecting Jewish interest in Denmark. The Swedish Democrats are so avidly pro-Jewish and pro-Israel that they actually have praised Rabbi Meir Kahane as “a great leader” and called for “a new Benjamin Disraeli to rule Sweden.” Several leading members of Belgium’s Vlaams Blok are also members of Zionist organizations in that country. Actually, Vlaams Blok is so eager to court Jews that they even translate their propaganda into Hebrew, and they are also the party which has most fervently supported Ariel Sharon in Belgium (1).

The trip to Israel by Alleanza Nazionale leader Gianfranco Fini and his following anti-Italian commentaries are notorious, as is the Austrian Peoples Party with their “court Jew” Peter Sichrovsky and Jörg Haider’s constant apologies and crawling whenever the Jews complains.

Why, then, be surprised that the same pro-Jewish influence is found in the National Front?

First of all, let’s take a quick look at the ideology advocated by these parties, the so called “National Democrats.” What characterizes them is pro-democracy, pro-Zionism, anti-Islam, and anti- all racial thinking. They don’t give a damn about race – it is really all about culture, they claim. In other words, they share the Marxist outlook that states are to be regarded as social constructs whose racial composition is irrelevant. They advocate the point of view that the state is only an abstract idea, a cultural container whose values must be protected. Franz Boas would be proud. And considering all of this, why wouldn’t Jews be attracted to these kind of politics, and why wouldn’t they take advantage of the opportunity to lead nationalists astray using such organizations?

Many Europeans are indeed fed up with multiracialism -- frequently referred to as multiculturalism by the media to stress the Marxist outlook -- but very few of them possesses the underlying knowledge of what is wrong and why. They are still “lemmings,” to use Dr. Pierce’s phrase, wandering around scared stiff of being called “racists.”

As regards the National Front in France and its leader, Jean-Marie Le Pen, there are several remarkable facts that must be noticed. To start with, it has been claimed that his current wife, Jany Le Pen, is half-Jewish, according to several different sources. I have tried to confirm this information without success. However, I have confirmed that she is deeply involved in influential Jewish circles and has established contact between these Jews and her husband. The following statement in The Guardian is significant and effectively sums it all up:

“Before I met Jean-Marie, half of my friends were Jews from the cream of Jewish finance. I was proud to introduce them to this exciting and brilliant politician. They said he was anti-Semitic, but it was enough to invite them to dinner for them to realize what a shameful caricature had been built around him. (2)”

Le Pen’s second oldest daughter, Yann Le Pen, is married to the leader of the National Front’s youth section, Samuel Maréchal, who has been pointed out as being a Jew by several independent sources, among them Dr. Pierce (3).

Le Pen’s youngest daughter, Marine Le Pen, is now being described as heiress of the party -- so her point of view is of great importance. It is interesting to know, then, that she despises all criticism of Jews and considers racial thinking to be something only for “the people with small brains.” She even has practiced as a lawyer, defending immigrants to help them stay in France when they were about to be thrown out of the country (4). In an interview with the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz, Jewish anti-Nationalist and philosopher Alain Finkelkraut concludes regarding Marine that “Le Pen is anti-Semitic, but his daughter is absolutely not.” (5)

Le Pen’s right hand man, Bruno Gollnisch, has also been pointed out as being Jewish by several sources, one of them being Dr. Pierce (6). Gollnisch, married to a Japanese woman, has visited the US several times to hold speeches at symposiums arranged by American Renaissance. At one occasion Gollnisch bemoaned how Jewish organizations “oppose us despite the fact that we practice no anti-Semitism, despite the fact that we have members and even elected representatives who are Jewish.” (7)

He doesn’t mention himself, but he does touch upon the very relevant fact that there indeed are several Jews present on high positions in the party. The Jewish journalist and National Front member Jean-Pierre Cohen went one step further to emphasize the pro-Jewish stance and co-authored a pamphlet, ‘Ni raciste, ni antisémite, le FN répond aux organisations juives qui le combattent injustement’ (‘Neither racist, nor anti-Semitic: the FN replies to those Jewish organizations which unjustly attack it’; (8)). In it he insinuates that four leading members are of Jewish extraction: Catherine Mégret, Jacques Bompard, Daniel Simonpierri and Jean-Marie Le Chevallier.

Catherine Mégret, nee Catherine Raskovscki, is descended from “Russian” Jews (9) and is married to Bruno Mégret, who used to be Le Pen’s right hand man before a schism arose between the two. When Catherine Mégret was a member of the National Front, she used to serve as mayor in Vitrolles.

Another distinguished party member who has been pointed out as a Jew is Jean-Claude Martinez, a member of the European Parliament. However, I haven’t been able to confirm this claim.

To sum up, the Jewish presence in the National Front is very real and should be taken into account when we analyze the party and what they stand for. Unfortunately, there is nothing that indicates that it could be considered to be nationalistic, much less pro-White.
