- Following a secret vote in the European Parliament in 2013, the elite went
so far as removing legal immunity from Marine Le Pen MEP so that she
could be prosecuted for remarks which were perfectly legal for her to
make when she made them in 2010. The use of retroactive criminality is a
hallmark of totalitarian governments – see Juan Jose Linz, Totalitarian
and Authoritarian Regimes, London, 2000, p.101; Robin White & Claire
Ovey, The European Convention on Human Rights, 5th edition, Oxford,
2010, p.298. This action by the European Parliament was done at the
behest of the elite in France. Le Pen did not say, for example, “that all
Muslims are essentially filthy and we demand that the rest of us be
protected from them” (the inverse of the rule that Muslims in countries
like the UK are to be protected from the dirty Kuffar). The elite tried to
prosecute her for comparing the illegal praying of Muslims in public
spaces (in secular France) as being like a National Socialist army
occupying foreign territory. “Marine Le Pen faces court on charge of
