Our president has now gone to congratulate the invaders of Palestine on their being still there after sixty years of official 'statehood', and to show his strong support for their continuing oppression, persecution and ethnic cleansing of the indigenous inhabitants.
This is a sad day for our country, and it is ironic when we are often officially told that our government still claims to support Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité, precisely the same universal values which are openly trampled on every single day by Mr Sarkozy's hosts.
His disgusting show of support for murderous oppression comes on top of his decision to join other European politicians in subjugating their own countries, their peoples and their interests to the whims of the real rulers of the USA.
Whatever may be wrong with the proposed Lisbon Treaty, it was at least an attempt to give some cohesion to the European Union, which might thereafter be better able to stand up for decency, freedom and democracy on the world scene. The widely advertised disarray which has appeared among the member states of the European Union no doubt gives enormous pleasure to those who wish to subject our lives still further to the rule of the holders of real power in the USA.
As many felt at the time, when Hitler was at the peak of his power, the best way to destroy the tyranny of these powerful forces would be for their prime victims, in the present case the ordinary people of the USA, to free themselves from their own greedy imperialist ruler or rulers.
This takes courage on the part of every one of us, if we dare to stand up and say that we are against injustice, oppression and murder despite all the threats proffered against us by the powerful who use every available means of coercion to maintain what they consider to be "law and order".
It does not matter in which country or community we live, since we are all, everywhere in the world, subject to these damaging pressures, even if they only show themselves in such comparatively minor things as commercial imperialism whereby our local economies are subjected to the influence of vast corporations which form part of the occult establishment in the USA.
One most obvious example, on which I and others have already written, is the attempt to destroy agricultural independence by the corporations which wish all world food supplies to be subject to their very strict control.
Their actions might temporarily benefit some farmers in the USA, Canada and other parts of America, where vast areas can be used for growing crops, but over time they will finally find themselves suffering from exactly the same economic squeezes as those currently afflicting their counterparts in the poorest areas of the world.
These thoughts may seem a long way from Mr Sarkozy's present touristic travels, during which he will smile upon, and appear to talk earnestly with, such deeply flawed people as Mr Olmert and Mr Abbas, because they have both been fully approved by the Bush régime. At the same time, he will refuse to have any serious discussions with Mr Haniyeh, the prime minister democratically appointed following the free and fair election in the areas of Palestine conquered in 1967, and still under the same brutal enemy occupation as the lands and homes stolen in 1947 and 1948.
My argument is very simple, namely that this present visit to the Holy Land is no more than one more small, but significant, part of a general policy of surrender of sovereignty to the all-embracing, and often well hidden, sources of power which maintain the present highly corrupt political system in the USA.
In other words, our president is happy to scrap all the principles which have been our past guiding lights, especially Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité, if he can thereby gain the grudging approval of foreign tyrants. This is one more clear sign that he prefers the status of favourite 'poodle' to having the courage to stand up as an independent responsible human being.
