Ces gens-là, on les retrouve dans l'Histoire dans l'Espagne de Franco, l'Italie de Mussolini, l'Allemagne d'Hitler, la France de Pétain, l'URSS de Staline, le Cambodge de Pol Pot ou la Chine de la Révolution culturelle, bien d'autres encore, et je me limite au XXe siècle... Il y a toujours une idéologie qui leur sert d'alibi. Ce sont des minables qui voudraient devenir les Maîtres du Monde (ou d'une partie du Monde) alors qu'ils ne sont que la…

However, the testimonies of…
