Depardieu showing solidarity (source)
Thank you for what I feel are countless solidarity thoughts streaming from the whole world for
Charlie-Hebdo.
Barbarians stuck in
the 7th-century-thinking of their desert tribe are believing they can put the world civilization in reverse mode, back to their own flat-earth cult in countless countries, from India to Thailand, the Philippines, the whole Middle East, Nigeria, Somalia, China, Russia, the United States and Europe (and many more). They might meet some effective resistance one day, possibly
from within, but since the fatwa against Salman Rushdie and the tepid response of the free world, the pressure has augmented, putting even the
historians under threat. Let's hope that France will awaken after decades-old policies of appeasing terror groups as well as their sponsor states and rewarding the bad guys with huge ransoms against hostages.
Make sure to buy next-week's issue of Charlie Hebdo, they'll have
one million copies --
3 million, now
7 million__ and counting__ printed (instead of the usual 50 000).

Tignous' "La Ficelle" work in 2005 (big size pic)
Among the journalists and cartoonists killed at Charlie Hebdo there was Tignous and Honoré (artist names) who both created bottle designs for La Ficelle, the traditional Saint-Pourçain wine released in autumn which has a different cartoon-style label every year. Tignous was a father of 4 who also loved wine. Honoré was 73 and was born in 1941 in Vichy, I guess he must have joked many times about these details.
Tigrous did the one of 2005 and Honoré the one of 2006. They both took part to the dinner organized by the Saint-Pourçain producers last november 2014, along with several other artists and some press, I wrote a small piece about this event which I also attended (mid-scroll on this page). Let's have a thought for them.
