60 years of the Paris massacre

[Ringo]

On this day - October 17 - in 1961, according to various sources, the Paris police killed from 70 to 200 Algerian demonstrators: some were drowned in the Seine, others were beaten to death after being detained.
Liberal propaganda teaches that "democratic countries" are at war with "strangers", while "totalitarian" ones are at war with "their own". Algeria was not a "stranger". It was the same department of France as Burgundy, Champagne or Corsica.

Liberal propaganda also teaches that in "democratic countries" such incidents immediately become the object of attention of the press and the public, and the perpetrators are sent to trial and resign. In reality, French newspapers were banned from writing about the incident. Only "Humanite" and "Figaro" dared to mention this, and even then allegorically.

It was only in 1998 that the "democratic" French authorities recognized the fact of the massacre. A memorial plaque in memory of these events appeared only in 2001.

Bash liberals. Bash 'em good! The People's Democratic Republic of Algeria, is a nation in Africa, four to five times the size of (metropolitan) France, not to mention the island of Corsica, or its regions of Burgundy and Champagne. Its seventeen remaining colonial territories, including Corsica, add about an additional 35,000 square miles making France closer to being only about four times smaller than Algeria. Yes, liberals. That sez it all.
