Line of Argument
The London-Washington Axis Called Into Question

By Cédric Housez | Paris (France) | 16 December 2005 | Voltaire, édition internationale | The traditional alliance of the British crown with its former American colony, an alliance that served as a foundation for the British foreign policy during the times of Winston Churchill and also Margaret Thatcher, is called into question today. In effect, the United Kingdom has no other option than choosing between its Atlantist commitment and its European interests. However, as Cedric Housez notes while analyzing statements by British leaders, they reject this choice. Today’s criticism of Tony Blair’s participation in George W. Bush’s military adventures is limited to expressing a will for a balance in transatlantic relations.

The strategy of fear
France: The “war on terror” makes its entrance into the presidential campaign

 By Cédric Housez | Paris (France) | 12 October 2005 | Voltaire, édition internationale | As clever manipulators of the media, Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, Parliament member Pierre Lellouche and anti-terrorist judge Jean-Louis Bruguière are using the “war on terror” as the main topic of the French presidential pre-campaign. State-run television channel France 3 and the press group of the French manufacturer of Dassault planes take part in staging the show.

The betrayal of the French Libertarians
Selling the “clash of civilizations” to the Left

 By Cédric Housez | Paris (France) | 6 September 2005 | Voltaire, édition internationale | After having built their libertarian identity and gotten an audience among left-wing electors, satirical French weekly Charlie Hebdo and feminist association Prochoix have decided to relay the neoconservative theses about the “clash of civilizations”. This rapid turn allowed them to get institutional and media support while maintaining part of their audience. Nowadays, they sell Washington and Tel Aviv’s policies and attack the anti-imperialist movement.

The betrayal of the scholars
Alain Finkielkraut and Bernard Henry Lévy, two propagandists of the «clash of civilizations»

 By Cédric Housez | 18 May 2005 | Voltaire, édition internationale | In the past, France used to boast about producing great intellectuals who provided the world with new elements of reflection. However, today, it lives under the dictatorship of those who dictate their opinions, who answer their own questions to impose, more easily, the prefabricated thinking, thus preventing any kind of critical thinking. Alain Finkielkraut and Bernard Henry Lévy are two of those people; they are two colorful figures who make efforts to monopolize what is said in the media to promote, without contradictions, the policies of Bush and Sharon. The fact that Emir Kusturica - someone they regard as a “black sheep” - presides over the Cannes Festival could be a good opportunity to watch their methods and the channels they use for spreading their (...)

Dispute
Turkey Joining the EU

 By Cédric Housez | 15 December 2004 | Voltaire, édition internationale | On the eve of the European Commission’s study of Turkey’s candidacy for the European Union, Réseau Voltaire synthesizes the different arguments and examines their pertinence. In their attempts to convince, both partisans and adversaries do not hesitate to recuperate widespread anachronisms and prejudices. They privilege questions of identity over strategic analyses of which they sometime ignore the stakes. A recapitulation of motives and ulterior motives.

According to the US Political Power, God Is On Its Side
The Battle for US Identity

 By Cédric Housez | 18 August 2004 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Every morning, US school children recite a pledge of allegiance to the flag that speaks of the dedication of their country to God. Last June, the Supreme Court rejected a complaint seeking to declare unconstitutional that reference. Cedric Housez, a French specialist in political communication, analyzes this controversy that is the result of a long process of Christianization of the US identity; first, they did it in front of the “atheistic Communism” and now they do it in front of Islam
