The barbarians are within the gates:
Since the riots of November 2005, we know that the French government is not able to protect the French citizens. Instead of taking legal action against criminals, the government rewarded rioters.
Today (march 22, 2006) we learn that this government has let 1,000 years of cultural and religious legacy to become smoke and ashes.
Barbarians and savages entered in the library of “l’Ecole des Chartes” (100,000 books) in the Sorbonne, and destroyed writings of abbeys of Île-de-France containing all the official documents since the middle age.
This is absolutely nauseating. But in addition to demonstrating the barbarism of those the diversity crowd considers the equal of Western Culture, it serves as an indication of why the elite, with their dreams of a boot in the face forever, need barbarians to do their dirty work. In order to build a static future, it is necessary to wipe out the memory of the dynamic past. What the rulers do not dare legislate, they can arrange for by proxy. Then, when the situation is completely out of control, they can step in and offer order.
And the fools will embrace those responsible as saviors.
UPDATE – some commenters on the site linked are saying that this is a fake and there was no burning of books at the library. I’ve just sent an email to a friend of mine who happens to be in Paris, so we should be able to discover the truth within a day or so. One reason for skepticism: the name of the library is “L’Ecole nationale des chartes” not “l’Ecole des Chartes”.
