We all love to joke about the French, but they are in fact, a truly evil people. Consider one of the many atrocities which is the specialty of the French, and that is, killing their own defenseless citizens.
In fact, on a personal level, the French were even worse than the Nazis when it came to the murder of non-combatants. Not in raw numbers, of course, but while individual Nazis were obeying state policy and therefore their personal feelings didn't matter, the French murderers eagerly embraced the idea, and they did so because they liked it. Another reason why the French liked killing their own innocent civilians was they could commit any atrocity that they wanted to, knowing they would always be protected by their German occupiers.
France opened concentration camps even before the Nazis invaded. For example, there were camps at Gurs, Noe and Recebidou, and that's where the French imprisoned anti-fascist refugees from the Spanish Civil war, who had fled to Paris for sanctuary. Guarded by the Paris metropolitan police force, they were given over to the Nazis in order to gain favor. Naturally, all were quickly sent to Nazi death camps.
At least the Nazis did their dirty work in the East, purposefully isolating their crimes from their own people. But all the atrocities perpetrated by the French took place either right inside the city of Paris itself, or very nearby, and all the murderers were members of the metropolitan police force, in other words, the local Paris cops.
Drancy was France's biggest concentration camp. It was created and run by the French local police. In the only case in the West like this, the Nazis didn't have to bother rounding up their victims. The French were eager to do it for them. Proof exists that more than 3000 prisoners died in the French camps from lack of medical care or starvation.
In what is without doubt, the single most dishonorable act ever committed by the French people, occurred in 1942 in Paris. The Velodrome d'Hiver was a stadium in Paris designed for bike races. Asked by the Nazi administration to arrest all Jews older than 16, the French went even further and all on their own, they arrested all the children too. So closely did the French identify with their own operation that they even gave it their own code name, "Vent printanier" (Spring Wind).
All together, more than 12,800 French Jews (3031 men, 5802 women and 4051 children aged between 2 and 12) were transferred to the Velodrome d'Hiver. Locked inside in the sweltering July heat, the children were kept in there for 5 miserable days without any food or medical care and then they were transferred to Drancy, Beaune-la-Rolande or Pithiviers. The children were separated from their parents by the French police immediately after their arrival in Drancy. The parents were transported to Auschwitz and gassed. The children stayed sometimes weeks in Drancy, without care or adequate food. Babies and many very young children died in Drancy due to the lack of care and the ever present brutality of the French guards. Finally, they were all transported to Auschwitz and gassed upon their arrival. As for the rest of France, 6,000 Jewish children from all the other regions of France were arrested by the French themselves, brought to Paris, and then given over to the Nazis, to be transported to their deaths in 1942. Interestingly, and typically, there was no protest on the part of the French public over any of this.
For decades, the French Government steadfastly refused to admit the responsibility of their action and that of the French police, in the deportation of the French Jews to the death camps. But in 1995, President Chirac finally admitted the responsibility of the French people in these atrocities.
Forget about your ideas of French heroism in the face of Nazis tyranny. Forget about romantic movies like "Casablanca", making heroes out of the French. The French Resistance was tiny and powerless until just less than a year before the end of the war, when it was certain that their beloved Nazis would lose. Also, remember all those stories about the help that French farmers gave downed allied airmen? Well, all that help had to be bought with gold. That's why our pilots were equipped accordingly. Consider that thousands of allies were killed by the French military, in North Africa, when they were too afraid to kill Nazis. Here are but two selections from the more than a million citations on this subject, in Google, about how the French kill their own defensless people, but turn tail and run if faced by people with guns who fight back:

Why Are Jews So Smart?

"Common Sense: Why Jews are So Smart"
by Pete Metzger
Why are Jews so smart? There are many explanations, some of which strain common sense. But you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out why. It can all be explained quite clearly:
Through millenia of widsread illiteracy, Jewish culture valued the twin cultural ethics of learning and literacy above all else. This was true since Jesus' day, and long before. Pressures to become the most learned in the Jewish community were around forever. Many of the men were rabbis of some sort, and every one dreamed of becoming the chief rabbi. The competition for that job was stiff, and was entirely based upon mental abilities. It was not even important what was studied. Even if it had been the game of chess, it would still have produced the same result, just as long as the challenge was a hard mental contest.
Early on then, the smartest Jews rose to the highest level of their society. Moreover, the field of competition was among all men thanks to universal male literacy, and not just among a much smaller group, as it was elsewhere. So a very strong merit system was in place from the beginning, and for a very long time. This cultural accident alone can answer the question.
But there was another and even stronger pressure. As if to insure the result, the smartest men reproduced themselves moreso than ordinary males. That was because the most highly placed rabbis were freed from having to make a living. They were supported by the community so that they could study all day long. Even more significantly, the head rabbi went through wives like popcorn, a younger one each time. Culturally, it was a great honor for an ordinary father, not blessed with great intelligence but only the ability to become rich, to give up his young daughter to the Rabbis bed, once the rabbis previous wife died having her 20th child. There is even hard evidence for this gleaned from the detailed family records that Jews are well known for, even going back to Bible days. So the most intelligent men were selected not only for intelligence, but for their ability to reproduce a lot, too. This is an even surer recipe for the selection of smart genes, but the realtive smartness of the Jews was helped along from another, and most unexpected direction.
Consider how the culture of non-Jews effected their own special outcome. In the culture of Christendom, the best minds, indeed the cream of the crop, were recruited, prized, and sent into the priesthood. Thus, in a single stroke, the genes for the best minds were collected from the entire male population, every generation, and then simply sent off into the celibate priesthood, thus removing them from the gene pool forever. So while Christendom impoverished its own gene pool of intelligence, the Jews enriched theirs, thereby making the relative difference between the two populations even larger.
I can't emphasize enough the role of male universal literacy among the Jews. Not only did the Jews invent a system that produced smart men (without realizing it), but they forced their entire male population through it. That took care of all the unsung geniuses from poor families who were so often overlooked by every other system, even in lands very far away from Christendom. Indeed, who among the gentiles could read at all? Only a small part of the population, the clergy and the aristocrats. And as we all know, from the example of the colonization of South America, selecting managers solely from the aristocracy is a very bad idea.
=========================================================
Post Script: The arguments above can also be used to explain negative outcomes, of course, such as the higher than average rates of certain inherited diseases among Jews. Also, when the arguments above are applied to other groups and races, many heretofore complex and thorny issues suddenly become clear and easily understood by all.

Another great killer of the Chinese people

Here's another great killer of the Chinese people: The Great Wall of China
From the web: "During the Qin Dynasty--when the first Great Wall was built--workers toiled for ten years to build the wall, at a rate of about 25 miles per month".
25 miles per month? Wow! That's a mile a day. Do you believe it? In the first place, I suspect that such a feat is impossible. In the second place, since that "fact" is from the records, and the main source of the information in those records was the supervisors of construction themselves, they are the very people whose interests exaggeration serves. it's probably fake. But still, the work must have gone on at a death dealing pace.
Today the Chinese government uses their great wall as an example of their cultural superiority . Now there lies a great and popular paradox, not confined to the Chinese. Most cultures whose roots go back to antiquity, also have a long record of disrespect for, and destruction of, their own cultural treasures. Once having made a total wreck of their own relics, they are today utterly fanatic about protecting them, invariably claiming the high moral ground, and citing how foreigners don't respect their stuff enough and how outsiders are responsible for all the spoilage. Examples abound. Egypt has closed the Great Pyramid, blaming the damage caused to its inner walls, on the sweat produced foreigners. I did not make this up. This is after those very people stole the entire limestone skin off the pyramids, not to mention the golden capstones. Hey, how about the fact that every single royal grave in Egypt was already plundered in antiquity, including that of King Tut. I mean can you believe it? The history of those people is a history of vandalism, and yet they piously claim that it's all our fault. And China, having massively destroyed its own Great Wall, is today punishing people who seek to do one billionth as much.
From the web: "The Chinese government also hopes to protect the national treasure. Officials in Beijing are considering legislation that, if passed, would convict anyone caught littering or defacing the Great Wall to a jail term of up to seven years."
Ha ha wotta joke. Can you imagine the ruthless and fearsome world power Chinese communist government prosecuting someone for littering?
Now all this is happening even to this very day. I am reminded that during the recent occupation of Afghanistan by the Taliban, those Muslims completely destroyed a huge statue of Buddha that was the single most important ancient monument left in that benighted country. And they did so for religious reasons too. And they got clean away with it too. Imagine the holy uproar that would have taken place if a single American soldier so much as put a scratch on the place.
How Many Chinamen did this kill?

The largest obelisk in ancient Egypt weighed in at 500 tons. Sheer muscle and friction built them all. Masons rubbed wooden blocks against the quarry stone while a slurry of sand and water was poured over the work surface. Slowly, very slowly, the rock was worn through. Only seldom, did these people attempt to make obelisks out of granite, which was normally far too hard. See this hyperlink:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/lostempires/obelisk/bigwave.html
Interestingly, any larger obelisks, like those weighing more than 1000 tons, were left behind, unfinished and abandoned in the quarries. They are still there. Egypt, and then even Rome, once they learned their lesson, just gave up on trying to move them. It turned out that these larger projects cost far too many human lives. They can still be seen there today, unintentionally serving as the tombstone for the uncounted stone workers who died on those doomed projects.

But the Chinese, were different. They had a secret weapon. Then as now, China had no regard for human life. That was, and still is, China's secret weapon. Around 1400 AD, China tried to build a granite tombstone for Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming dynasty. It lays there near Nanjing today, in the Yangshan quarry, unmovable then as now. Its weight is estimated to be 34,000 tons. Long before the work was attempted, Chinese engineers had to know that they could never have moved the thing an inch. After all, this rock is 34 times larger that the largest blocks that the best efforts of the Egyptians and Romans couldn't move either. The cost in human life is unknown, naturally, but as large as it was, it must have paled before the Chinese experience only a few decades just before, in the 14th century, when epidemics and famine killed 35 million people. Here is how that enormous unmovable rock looks today:
If you want to read how China was in those days, at least its navy, and see where I got this picture, read the very latest National Geographic magazine for July, 2005.
