Every time I read the writing of a Jew on the subject of friendship – such as that of Clifford D. May – I recall the Egyptian proverb which goes like this: “If your friend is made of honey, don’t lick all of it”.
That’s because the Jews are so deeply immersed in the belief
that friendship can only mean: “If you’re not with us, you’re against us,” they
do not tolerate seeing you “cozy up” to someone else, having professed to be
their friend.
In fact, that habit is so entrenched in the Judeo-Yiddish
culture, it became the driving force that pushed the Jews to relentlessly work
on subjugating America, turning it into a colony of theirs and that of Israel.
Not only that, but the habit proved to be contagious in the sense that it
rubbed off on the American culture, causing it to try licking all of its
friends.
Clifford May wrote an article in which he shows how this
works in real life. The article came under the title: “French twist,” and the
subtitle: “Emmanuel
Macron cozies up to Chinese Communist Party.” It was published on April 25,
2023 in The Washington Times.
The writer required a short paragraph of only 33 words to
describe the philosophy that pertains to the subject of friendship. Here it is,
reproduced verbatim: “Is France still an ally of the United States? Based on Emmanuel Macron’s
three-day state visit to the People’s Republic of China earlier this month, the
answer to that question is in doubt.” He then used the rest of the space to
elaborate on the philosophy.
Even though May admits that to accuse French President
Emmanuel Macron of kowtowing to Xi Jinping may be somewhat of an exaggeration, he
still seems irked by the fact that Macron has revealed that in the rivalry
between China and the United States, France does not pick sides.
Worse, in the eyes of Clifford May, whereas
Macron took pain to express fear that Europe may become an American vassal —
urging all Europeans to seek autonomy and avoid getting caught in crises that
are not Europe’s — he did not raise such issues as Beijing’s cover-up of
COVID-19, the country’s persecution of the Uyghurs, the Tibetans and other
minorities, or of China’s crushing the Hong Kong quest for freedom.
It is no wonder, therefore, that Mr.
Macron did not even suggest that French relations with China will suffer should
Chinese troops invade Taiwan. Instead, what the French President did that infuriated
Clifford May no end, was sign onto a joint declaration announcing France’s ‘global
strategic partnership with China.’ And this – in May’s view – says that Macron wants
Europe to become a third superpower.
Now that Clifford May has made it clear
he believes in the words of the old adage which asks: “With friends like these,
who needs enemies?” he went on to beat up on Emmanuel Macron, treating him as
if he were yet another potential rival that will make it difficult for America
to remain perched as the world’s dominant power … which is the position it
earned since emerging victorious in both the Pacific and Atlantic Wars of the
Second World War. Here, in condensed form, is how Clifford May went after
Emmanuel Macron:
“Since assuming office, Mr. Macron has
not been an effective leader. Nor is he currently a popular one. One issue
driving dissatisfaction is his push for pension reform — raising the retirement
age from 62 to 64. In addition, one of Mr. Macron’s goals in Beijing being to
persuade Mr. Xi to use his influence to end Russia’s war against Ukraine, he
tried that and failed to persuade”.
Still, feeling deep down that it wasn’t enough to beat-up on
the French President for the hurt he has caused America, and the hurt he is
capable of causing in the future, Clifford May went probing into the French character
looking for a flaw on which to pin what has gone wrong with the friendship that
used to be held by both nations as their proud achievements.
Here is what Clifford May said in that regard:
“The more things change, the more they remain the same, as the French
say. In 1990 Richard Bernstein wrote ‘Fragile Glory: A Portrait of France and
the French,’ a book combining admiration and criticism. He observed that the
French cling to the idea that their nation is ‘a beacon of illumination to the
rest of the world.’ He quoted Charles de Gaulle, who insisted that: ‘France
cannot be France without grandeur.’ Grandeur could be achieved, de Gaulle
believed, by making France the leader of a third power bloc buffering the
Soviet-American antagonism. It appears Mr. Macron is recycling that aspiration,
imagining France buffering what he sees as the Sino-American antagonism”.
