MICHAEL WALSH REPORT: Charles André Joseph Marie de Gaulle (1890 – 1970) was a French general and statesman.

De Gaulle in 1940 led the Free French Forces against the armies of the Third Reich. From exile in Britain, he chaired the Provisional Government of the French Republic from 1944 to 1946, tasked with restoring democracy in France.

In 1958, amid the Algiers putsch, he came out of retirement when appointed Prime Minister by President René Coty.

De Gaulle rewrote the Constitution of France and founded the Fifth Republic after it was approved by referendum. De Gaulle was elected President of France later that year, a position he held until his resignation in 1969.

CHURCHILL’S BETRAYAL OF FORMER ALLIES

Painfully aware of Churchill’s betrayal of Poland and a score of other formerly free European nations to Stalin’s Soviet Union, De Gaulle was under no illusions as to Churchill’s depraved dishonesty.

D-DAY BRITISH SEIZURE OF FRANCE

The famous French leader realised that following the D-Day invasion of France on June 6, 1944, his exhausted nation would be occupied by the British armed forces, just as Britain was set to occupy, plunder and control large regions of the defeated Reich.

REMINDER: In 1939, the British Expeditionary Force in France was purposed to deter a German invasion of France. Likewise, from June 1940, the German armed forces were deployed to northern France to deter Britain’s intention to invade France.

France, once free of the pro-German Vichy government’s control, would be vulnerable to the post-war sinister intentions of Winston Churchill’s voracious war party.

In 1945, Britain’s armed forces numbered 2.9 million men and women. The British occupation of France would be strengthened by the formidable armed forces of the British Empire and its Dominions.

Thus, in one stroke, Churchill’s Britain would control France and its worldwide colonies.

A British occupation of France would be as easy as taking candy from an infant. That was until Churchill’s plan was stymied by the guileful French General Charles de Gaulle.

De Gaulle revealed: ‘The landing of June 6 (1944) was the affair of the Anglo-Saxons, from which France was excluded.

They (the British) were determined to settle in France as they had in enemy territory. As they had just done in Italy and as they were about to do in Germany (brutal occupation and control).

‘They, the British, had prepared their AMGOT, which was to sovereignly govern France as their armies advanced.

‘They, the British, had already printed their counterfeit money, which would have been forced tender. They would have led themselves into a conquered country.’

OCCUPATION

NOTE: AMGOT stands for Allied Military Government of Occupied Territories. This was the form of military rule administered by the Allied forces in former Axis-held territories during and after the war.

‘This is exactly what would have happened if I had not imposed, yes imposed, my commissioners of the Republic, my prefects, my sub-prefects, my liberation committees!

‘And you would like me to go and commemorate their landing, even though it was the prelude to a second occupation of the country?

‘No, no, don’t count on me! I want things to happen gracefully, but that’s not where I belong. SOURCE: A. Peyrefitte ‘It was de Gaulle’ – volume II – chapter 14.

CHURCHILL NOT WELCOME IN FRANCE

When General Charles de Gaulle’s statue was erected in London, newspaper reader Brian Reeve wanted to know if wartime autocrat Winston Churchill’s statue could be erected in Paris. 

The cost was estimated to be $320,000. A subscription drive was undertaken, but it raised only $56,000.   

The contribution by the French was negligible.  Perhaps the French remembered that it was the British who sank their navy, a fighting navy that the legitimate German leader, Adolf Hitler, had entrusted to French hands to protect French colonies.

THE FROGS DESERVE A GOOD KICKING – BRITISH NEWSPAPER

The headline of The Star newspaper (since bankrupt), A British red top tabloid notorious for blaming Soviet atrocities on the Reich, screamed ‘The frogs deserve a good kicking’.  

Brian Reeve, the optimistic fundraiser for the Churchill statue, did concede that he had received hostile correspondence from irate French people.

The luckless Reeve bemoaned the fact that there wasn’t to his knowledge a single statue of Churchill to be found anywhere in France.   

ISRAEL LOVES WINSTON CHURCHILL

However, there is a forest in Israeli-occupied Palestine that is dedicated to the memory of Winston Churchill. It would seem to be a far more appropriate honor.

FRANCE – NO MIGRANTS IN THE FIFTH REPUBLIC

No Emmanuelle Macron, Charles de Gaulle, in 1959, the President of the French Republic, made the following statement:  

‘We are, above all, a European people of the white race, of Greek and Latin culture and of the Christian religion.  The Muslims, have you seen them with their turbans and their jelubas?  

THE MIGRANTS WILL NEVER BE FRENCH

‘You can see clearly that they are not French.   Try to mix oil and vinegar.   Shake them up.   After a minute, they are separate again.

‘Arabs are Arabs.  The French are French.  

‘Do you think that French society can absorb 10 million Muslims who tomorrow will be 20 million and the day after that 40 million?

 ‘If we integrate, if all the Arabs and Berbers of Algeria were to be considered French, how would we stop them from coming to the Metropole where the standard of living is so much higher?  

My village would no longer be Colombey les deux Eglises (Colombey of the Two Churches) but Colombey les deux Mosquees (The Colombey of Two Mosques). ~     President of the French Republic, Charles de Gaulle.

Colombey-les-Deux-Églises was deeply significant to General Charles de Gaulle. He purchased La Boisserie, a large estate in the village, in 1934, and it became his personal retreat.

Throughout his political career, he often withdrew to Colombey when he was out of power, including after the fall of the Fourth Republic in 1946 and before his return to leadership in 1958.

NOTE: Today, there are FIVE MOSQUES situated close to Colombey: TELL US WHAT YOU THINK
