J’Accuse! America’s Dreyfus Affair unfolds in Minneapolis

Bookworm

What happened to Derek Chauvin has disturbing parallels to France’s famed Dreyfus affair 127 years ago.

. . . "In 1894, Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer in the French army, was convicted of treason – despite it being obvious that he was not guilty but was being railroaded. Four years later, once the facts were fully known, Émile Zola, the famed novelist, famously wrote an open letter under the headline “J’Accuse,” accusing the French military of a deliberate cover-up. I can’t help but see parallels to that in Derek Chauvin’s railroading in a Minneapolis courtroom.

"As French Jews discovered when the Nazis invaded, while many French people disliked the Nazis, they disliked the Jews even more. From the collaborating Vichy government on down, a disgraceful number were happy to connive with the Nazis to get rid of the Jews in their communities. The Jews should have expected this because they had a foretaste of French antisemitism in 1894 with the infamous Dreyfus affair.

"The bare bones of the story are that Alfred Dreyfus was born into an affluent and assimilated Jewish family. He attended the famed École Polytechnique and, after graduating, joined the military. He achieved the rank of captain and ended up serving in the War Ministry.

"In 1894, Dreyfus found himself accused of selling military secrets to the German military attaché. He was arrested in mid-October and, by mid-December, he’d been convicted and given a life sentence. Four months later, he was off to the heinous penal colony on Devil’s Island, in the waters off French Guiana, which had a mortality rate that reached 75%.

"Dreyfus’s conviction and imprisonment might not even have made the local papers were it not for the fact that the entire case was driven by virulent anti-Semitism, which was the Critical Race Theory of its day. It was obvious to all involved in the case that the evidence introduced against him was always weak and often implausible. Even the meanest intelligence could see that he was being railroaded because he was Jewish. Britannica sums it up thusly:

Although he denied his guilt and although his family consistently supported his plea of innocence, public opinion and the French press as a whole, led by its virulently anti-Semitic faction, welcomed the verdict and the sentence. In particular, the newspaper La Libre Parole, edited by Édouard Drumont, used Dreyfus to symbolize the supposed". . .  disloyalty of French Jews.

MSNBC Agrees With Radical Race-Baiter: GOP Wants ‘American Apartheid’

"In wake of President Biden huddling, on Thursday, with radical left-wing activists who pretend to be “civil rights leaders,” MSNBC on Friday touted National Urban League President Marc Morial coming out after that meeting and hurling the vile accusation that Republican-sponsored voting reforms and the U.S. Supreme Court were conspiring to create “American apartheid.” Rather than fact-check such a horrendous lie, the partisan cable channel endorsed the disgusting rhetoric instead.

“Civil rights leaders gathering with President Biden....We know they want more action on federal voting rights,” anchor Chris Jansing announced while filling in for Stephanie Ruhle in the 9:00 a.m. ET hour. She eagerly pointed out that “all of this is happening after the Supreme Court upheld Arizona voting restrictions and the president of the Urban League, Marc Morial, talked about that after the meeting at the White House.' ”. . .

Are We Seeing a Cultural Realignment?

 If the pushback we’ve seen in the last few months continues, the left is in big trouble -- and it couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of wannabe tyrants. 


American Thinker  "Recently we’ve been seeing stories in the news about average Americans pushing back against liberal initiatives.  Taken alone, these stories are entertaining, though not particularly earth-shattering.  But observed together, do they form a pattern?  Are we seeing the beginning signs of a cultural realignment?

"One recent story is that of women protesting a California spa allowing “perfectly normal women with penises” to use the female facilities.  The protesters were quick to point out that they are Democrats and support LGBTGFNB  rights.  But it turns out there is a limit to the amount of leftist baloney that even Democrats can accept.  Equity for people with gender confusion sounds compassionate in theory.  In reality, it facilitates naked men bathing with our six-year-old daughters -- which inspires a different emotion than compassion.

“ 'Perfectly normal women with penises” competing in women’s sports is all over the news too.  The left has been telling us that we need to accept each person’s perception of reality -- even if that person is somewhat gender-confused.  But “perfectly normal women with penises” competing in women’s sports has illustrated the absurd destination this path leads to.  Why don’t we go ahead and let heavyweight boxers identify as lightweights and let them beat the crap out of somebody half their size?  After a year of this nonsense, we’re beginning to see that there may be many perceptions of reality, but there is only one actual reality.  Are feminists starting to see that their movement sold them into servitude to liberalism and they’ve become the handmaidens of leftism?". . .
