Mitterand - Dirty Tricks Revealed - France

April 1995
We take another look at Mitterrand, the man whose presidency was ridden with high-level corruption.

In an interview France's former head of counter intelligence Yves Bonnet directly implicates President Mitterand in the Rainbow Warrior bombing. Two explosions sank the Greenpeace flagship, the Rainbow Warrior, in 1985. The ship was protesting against French atomic testing at Mururoa Atoll in the South Pacific. The incident caused a diplomatic brawl between New Zealand and France. Charles Hernu, the French Defence Minister at the time, was forced to resign but a French Government cover-up kept the President in the clear. Also confirms the existence of Mitterand's dirty tricks section which allegedly spied on his enemies.

Please we do not hate the French. I adore France and the French in paticular.

However, in America we have many far right morons who hate everyone, including the French. So please excuse these morons, they don't not represent America as a whole.

Mitterrand était le "Machiavelli" du 20éme siècle - Subtil, intelligent, la classe mais aussi et surtout opportuniste, intuitif, manipulateur, doué dans le domaine de la réthorique et avec beaucoup de répartie, il était l'animal politique parfait! Cela au détriment de l'économie de la France.

All this political correctness and bullshit to soften the blow. France ordered a state sponsored terrorist act on NZ end of fucking story. They lied and lie and continue lying.

@scorpio75000 Il etait un politicien comme tout les politiciens maisl il a joue le jeu de la politique mieux (frolant la perfection des fois comme durant la 1er cohabitation) que les concurrents. C'est tout.

This documentary is not very flattering, even biased against mitterand. I myself is not a fan of the guy, but saying corruption and failed black ops were invented during his mandate is a lil too much... There are a lot of good things he did for france that are not cited in this doco... His work on europe and even on french infrastructures are undeniable. The guy didnt get relected for nothing...

power bring greed I agree... But dont forget to give credit where its due

Mitterand ordered state sponsored terrorism against peaceful democratic New Zealand, via the Rainbow Warrior bombing. Then he lied about it. Then he blackmailed NZ over trade when NZ imprisoned the two agents caught. And he refused to name all involved. as France has ever since. There are lots of NZ soldiers buried in Europe fighting to free France in2 world wars. Mitterand was what Kiwi's would call a liar. The failure since to name those saboteurs stains france's honour to this day in NZ.

" Mitterrand, the man whose presidency was ridden with high-level corruption".

oh yeah and how about chirac's ones, why don't you put something about that then?? the only french president who had to hide behind his position as the head of state not to have to appear in front of judges for all the charges against him

[tommyrjensen]

Mitterand caused people throughout the world to think of the french people as nothing but terrorists, and to avoid purchase of french products whenever it could be avoided. Very few people have damaged France as severely as Mitterand did.

At 1:05, enters the ignoble Jack Lang ("goat-face" in th French version of the Muppet show), Mitterrand's creeping courtesan. Back on 3:24 with a torrent of lies.

Le slogan "la force tranquille"... inventé en 1941 par Mitterrand pour décrire le régime nazi.
