"Je suis Charlie"

What are French Politicians and Journalists Afraid of?

by Voltaire Network

Geneva (Switzerland) | 26 January 2015

The astonishing Press campaign currently being waged in France, in the name of freedom of expression, against all those who have been questioning the January attacks in Paris, has spread progressively to all the NATO countries. As from now, the use of a critical mind may become a criminal (…)

Darfur: Simplification and Moralization of the Conflict

by Voltaire Network

Paris (France) | 10 March 2006

The extremely complex situation in Darfur is being ignored by analysts and by the commentaries published in the western mainstream media, particularly in the United States. US media analysts deal with the Darfur issue only as an ethnic conflict, or more precisely as the “genocide” of “Africans” (…)

Pakistan: after the missiles, the smokescreen

by Voltaire Network

Paris (France) | 3 February 2006

As we already said in previous articles, the US attacks against Pakistan, whose supposed goal was to eliminate Al-Qaeda’s Number 2: Ayman Al Zawahiri, allowed to attack rebel movements in Baluchistan. However, the mainstream media have never considered this offensive as evidence of Washington’s (…)

Russia: George Soros’ great offensive reveals the emergency of the energy situation

by Voltaire Network

Paris (France) | 2 February 2006

As it is hard to believe that the disclosure of the activities of British spies by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) is just a coincidence of the calendar, it is certainly very unlikely that the activities of Project Syndicate dealing with the Ukrainian issue are not a veiled response. (…)

The two bodies of the Israeli Prime Minister

by Voltaire Network

1 February 2006

In his famous work The King’s two bodies, German historian Ernst kantorowicz studied the consecration of the royal figure of the Middle Age and of Modern Times in Europe. He studied how the myth of double Royal nature had been created: on the first hand, the individual with his own gifts and (…)

Chile, Bolivia… “responsible” left against “populist” left

by Voltaire Network

Paris (France) | 31 January 2006

The Electoral victory of Evo Morales in Bolivia again puts Latin America in the focus of attention of the media after a long absence. Erroneously compared to the election of socialist Michelle Bachelet in Chile, the Bolivian election is fairly interpreted by the media as a symbol of a political (…)

Iraq: What does success mean?

by Voltaire Network

Paris (France) | 30 January 2006

Trapped in its own propaganda, the US currently faces a serious problem in Iraq. The US people are more and more reluctant to the deployment of troops in Iraq, while neo-cons are already dreaming of new invasions. For the Bush administration, the officially-proclaimed objectives of the invasion (…)

Iran: made satanic before what?

by Voltaire Network

Paris (France) | 27 January 2006

We’re witnessing, in the mainstream press, a propaganda campaign against Iran similar to that preceding the invasion of Iraq. We’re seeing again the arguments then used to shape western opinion for a war on Baghdad. However, there is a big difference between the articles currently condemning (…)

After all, it is just a movie…

by Voltaire Network

24 January 2006

The entertainment, television or movie industries feature political symbols that can support or denounce the actions of a government. In this case, they then turn into an adversary for those who are in power, whose impact has to be minimized. Over the past months, we have seen several movies of (…)

Orwellian resource to make torture acceptable

by Voltaire Network

Paris (France) | 20 January 2006

Eclipsed by the media whirl of the end of the year, the torture issue begins to gradually appear again in some articles. Most of media outlets make big efforts to analyze it “with clarity and without prejudices” (as the German conservative journal Frankfurter Allgemeine reads), which in fact (…)

Debate on “Islam” Back in the Media

by Voltaire Network

Paris (France) | 19 January 2006

The questions about Islam, which have been formulated after the spreading of images produced by the Strauss ideology of the “Clash of Civilizations”, are a recurrent subject in the “Western” press since 9/11, 2001. Having nothing to do with recent reality, many tribunes that expose or question (…)

Chronicle of the Announced Death of a “Man of Peace”

by Voltaire Network

Paris (France) | 18 January 2006

“Homicidal”, “killer”, “war criminal”, “terrorist”, “commander-in-chief of a death squad”: none of these words will be found in the hagiographic forums spread by the Atlantist press after the stroke suffered by Israel’s Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Regrettably, this is not amazing to us. We have (…)

The Unknown Evo Morales

by Voltaire Network

Paris (France) | 17 January 2006

Coca-leaf farmer Evo Morales – President of the Movement to Socialism (MAS) – has been elected President of Bolivia in the first electoral round on December 18, 2005. The International Press puts the event in some skeptical manner, which translates into the US loss of interest in South America (…)

Silencing the media with submission or with bombs

by Voltaire Network

Paris (France) | 16 January 2006

The Project to bomb Al Jazeera has led people to talk a lot about this issue in the United Kingdom, where the government of Tony Blair has refused to make any comments. However, outside the United Kingdom, not much is said about it and most of the western media outlets, the same that do not (…)
