THE BLOOD OF FREE MEN: THE LIBERATION OF PARIS, 1944

By Michael Neiberg
Basic Books, $28.99, 352 pages

"The French people sloughed off years of national shame in one glorious summer month in 1944 when, with only minimal assistance from Allied armies, they evicted German troops from Paris. Albert Camus, writing in the clandestine newspaper Combat, spoke of Paris returning to its historic role of purging tyranny with the 'blood of free men.' ..."

    Someday there will be another resistance, fought within all Western nations by those who have the radical idea that the best of Western civilization should be defended, and that Western peoples should not be demographically erased. 

     There are important reasons, besides the obvious moral ones, that this should be accomplished nonviolently. However, no matter how it unfolds, the young men and women involved will have to possess extra courage, because they will also be sacrificing their reputations, as they will be relentlessly smeared and blacklisted by Western elites and their many enablers, the loving Tolerance Police, and characterized as frothing-at-the-mouth 'haters.'

     Of course this is more than just being up against unpleasant name-calling. It is about the likely devastating impact on one's future career, friendship, dating and marriage prospects. The Left, as it has 'marched through the institutions' of the West, has largely re-written history, built the foundations of the modern social sciences to its advantage, even taking over academic subjects like English and the arts, and professions like journalism, entertainment and government, as well as commandeering the language itself, coining such Orwellian terms as "affirmative action" and "diversity," and generally taking ideas that were a mere generation ago considered to be on the wild extreme fringe, and turning them into today's revealed truths that must be believed with religious devotion by all enlightened humans. Those who make counter-arguments to these beliefs are deliberately turned into outcasts, untouchables, creatures only fit to dwell on some rocky remote Un-PC Leper Island. 

On the other hand, how many people are so privileged that they happen to live at a time in history when they can help save, with all the real and imagined faults, the greatest civilization and people in history?
