French court absolves Natacha Polony’s genocide denial because it shields the real bastards from scrutiny
Journalist
Natacha Polony’s has been acquitted of the charge of genocide denial by a
French court in a trial which, as expected, turned out to be a kangaroo court
of Caucasians casually talking about the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in
Rwanda.
Polony
was indicted after declaring that "Unfortunately, we are typically in the
kind of case where we had bastards facing other bastards (...) there were not
on one side the good guys and on the other the bad guys in this
story".
She
made these vile statements with regard to the 1994 tragedy in Rwanda as she
tried to justify France’s continued support to the genocidal government that
was exterminating Rwanda’s Tutsi. Then and now, as she
celebrates this outrageous court’s verdict, Polony’s objective is to
shield from scrutiny French bastards who have never faced justice for their
complicity in the crime of crimes.
“[With
this decision] the court sends the message that historians, researchers, can
work, express themselves on what happened (in Rwanda), deepen the situation
without being threatened with legal proceedings ", Polony reacted to the
court’s verdict, self-mythologizing as a martyr fighting for the right of
historians and researchers to establish moral equivalence between the
genocidaires and those who stood in the way of their extermination
project.
To
be sure, the court’s verdict sends the message that it agrees with former
President Francois Mitterand’s view that “In those countries, genocide is not
that important.”
This
view is indeed the reason why French bastards decided to support a genocidal
government which was inciting the population to kill en masse when the Rwanda
Patriotic Forces (RPA) was trying to stop the killings. It is these competing
actions that determine who the bastards were or are, if the court’s behavior is
to be considered as well as its celebration on the part of Polony and her
ilk.
In
the bastards’ world, if it could be argued that both forces were bad, it would
be easy to justify choosing the side that served their geopolitical interests
even if that meant that the extermination of Tutsi would be completed or
total.
The
court’s adherence to this view is the only way to make sense of the fact that
Polony got away with a clear case of minimization of the genocide against the
Tutsi, when she attempted to equate it to other crimes allegedly committed by
RPA forces.
For
one thing, it would be absurd to suggest that during World War II both Allied
Forces and Nazis constituted “bastards against bastards” due to whatever crimes
might have been committed by the former. If that is absurd, then to suggest the
same for Africans, the RPA, is just racism and poor upbringing.
“If
the judgment had not gone in this direction, no journalist would have broached
this subject,” Polony said, as she continued the self-martyrdom depiction –
disgusting for those with a sense of decency – of the trial she invited on
herself.
If
Polony cared to read western press, journalists all over the western world have
been falling over themselves trying to rewrite the history of Rwanda. UN
agencies have been manipulated to manufacture a mythical genocide against the
Hutus committed by the RPA only to find that they have no facts to stand on.
So,
they invented one in neighboring Congo. A Mapping Report with unnamed
victims, perpetrators, investigators and witnesses was drafted and
published in completed disregard of all ethical values and with only one main
objective in mind: shielding from scrutiny western powers, members of the
Security Council that enabled a foreseeable genocide and continued to support
genocidal forces that had fled to former Zaire and militarized refugees camps
before launching attacks inside Rwanda. To date, voices in the western world
that broach the subject of the West’s support to genocidaires before, during
and after the genocide are too few and too far in between despite the need to
bring the necessary attention to the crimes committed by their bastards,
particularly the French ones.
Instead,
and shamelessly, a court in Belgium acquitted
the Belgian peacekeepers who abandoned thousands of Tutsi that had
sought refuge at ETO in Kigali, then the main cantonment of the Belgian UN
troops, to be murdered in cold blood by Interahamwe militia and government
soldiers.
Similarly, UK
courts have opposed the extradition of genocide fugitives living in the country and
refused to judge them on ridiculous grounds. Further still, French courts, have
over the years stalled judicial proceedings of genocide fugitives living in
France with the first
condemnation being issued on March 14, 2014, twenty years after the
genocide.
In
light of these delaying tactics and outrageous judicial conduct, the French
court’s decision to acquit Polony does not come as a surprise. It follows the
same logic that seeks to render insignificant the genocide committed against
the Tutsi, African lives.
But
Rwandans have been patient and resilient. Even as Polony insists that the world
should focus on the RPA crimes to deflect its attention from France’s
complicity in the genocide against the Tutsi, genocide survivors continue their
unrelenting fight against French perpetrators of crimes against humanity in the
role of an active accomplice that the self-obsessed prefer to call
“blindness.”
For
instance, the French commission set up by President Macron (despite the
resistance of reactionary forces of which Polony is part of) overlooked some
facts which in time will come to light thanks to the work of many activists and
the courage of survivors. With time, Polony will have to face the reality of mass rapes
committed by French soldiers – ostensibly sent to rescue the remaining
Tutsi were deployed when it became evident that the genocidal government,
France’s ally, had lost the war against the RPA – during the genocide against
the Tutsi.
As the crimes French soldiers committed are exposed, the noise of reactionaries will increase in the realization that in 1994, RPA heroes confronted genocidaires and their accomplices, the French bastards.
