John Kerry’s Family Fights for Border Security at Palatial French Villa Because of Terrorism

Following the law is for the little people, and enforcing secure borders is only for elites.

That seems to be the conclusion after the family of John Kerry rejected rules about land access in France, while demanding that migrants and hikers be kept away from their multi-million dollar property.

Kerry, the former liberal senator, presidential candidate, and secretary of state, spends a significant amount of time at his family’s ancestral home in Saint-Briac-sur-Mer, a beach escape and resort playground for the elite.

It’s a lifestyle that most people in America and indeed the world can’t afford, and Kerry’s family seems intent on keeping it that way.

The laws of France say that a portion of all beaches must be public access, but the wealthy Saint-Briac residents don’t think that law applies to them.

I don’t believe John Kerry has any Irish ancestry at all. His mother was from the famous Forbes (Scottish) family. His Catholic father’s ancestry was Jewish.

When Kerry was running for prez......every time I saw Teresa all I could think of was......all that money and she doesn’t have a good hairdresser or decent clothes. Lol
Her hair is always frizzy and she dressed like the help. Then again, money doesn’t equate to class.

Rodrigo Garcia-Velasco Bernal was awarded the Woolf Institute Cambridge Scholarship to undertake his PhD studies at the University of Cambridge. His project, which is supervised by Professor David Abulafia, and co-supervised by Dr Esther-Miriam Wagner, focuses on the formation of frontier communities in Spain during the period of Christian expansion over the previously Muslim-dominated territories of al-Andalus, between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries.

ok, so a jew and a moslem try to tell you that the Queen of England is related to mohammad...that's about as convincing as Hitti (in recent years honoured by The American University of Beirut) trying to make the case that arabs invented stained glass windows and musical compositions which led to the sublime works of Beethoven.

Philip Khuri Hitti (Shimlan 22 June 1886 – Princeton 24 December 1978) was a Lebanese-American professor and scholar at Princeton and Harvard University, and authority on Arab and Middle Eastern history, Islam, and Semitic languages. He almost single-handedly created the discipline of Arabic studies in the United States.

His mother was a Forbes, of the famous Forbes family. He’s always had money and believed he was destined to rule.

Interesting he has a Christian first name. My daughter in law is Lebanese, and her family is Christian. She said Lebanese Christians often give their children French names, as code, to differentiate them from Muslim Lebanese.

This authoritative study of the Arabians and the Arabic-speaking peoples is a valuable source of information on Arab history. Suitable for both scholars and the general reader, it unrolls one of the richest and most instructive panoramas in history, telling with insight the story of the rise of Islam in the Middle Ages, its conquests, its empire, its time of greatness

I wouldn’t have a problem with “Arab Studies”, except I’m willing to bet it’s been hijacked for many years.

Samuel Huntington’s “Clash of Civilizations” came out in 1979. Everything in ‘Arab’ Studies changed then.

from the comments section:

The Arabs are people who used to live in what is now Saudi Arabia. The rest was occupied by various cultures and communities like Asyrian, Coptic, Amazighi… and spoke various languages. The Arabs, with the leadership of Islam and Muhamad, invaded the other lands and forced people to convert to Islam and to use the Arabic language (being the language Mohamad used to write the Quran). Today, we can fairly say that the Arab countries are Islamic countries by forced and oppressions – every Arab country, except for Lebanon, has an Article in its Constitution which says that “Islam is the religion of the country and the main source of legislation is the Islamic Sharia”. This does not mean that the same laws apply on all since the non-Muslim is ahel dhimma (second class citizen) according to the Sharia. He hence does not have the same rights as the rest. The truth is, those who were able to remain non-Muslim, the original people of the land, are economically politically and religiously persecuted – and has always been – and this explains why the multiplicity in what is now the Arab world has disappeared. Of course, books of history and social sciences published by the Arab/Islamic countries misguide their population and enforce amnesia.
