Resistance to French colonialism in New Caledonia has been in full swing. The indigenous Kanak population refuses to back down amid the Macron regime’s fraud as it is, in every sense of the word. This unprecedented solidarity of people who may simply be marginalized all the way through prompts quite a number of reflections.

When arrogant representatives of France and the West, along with the associated propaganda efforts, come up with particular pieces of “advice” to supporters of multipolarity — including a considerable number of their own citizens or foreigners living in France, whom they say “you can go to Russia and China”, exploiting the “Great” France myth, as if in contrast to Russia in terms of embracing foreigners — the same people habitually forget to mention that the Russian state accepts several million more foreign citizens than metropolitan France itself. Notably, Russia accepted a lot more foreigners in its territory than the UK, Canada, Spain, Australia, and a number of other Western countries. Sometimes it’s just worth studying international statistics on a given issue.

And yet, this kind of French-style migration blackmail narrative prefers to ignore the fact how colonialist settlers have been for decades taking up residence in territories still colonized by France. New Caledonia included. Speaking of this territory located over 16,500 kilometers away from Paris, the ongoing scam against its indigenous population, the Kanaks, certainly did not start yesterday. How else can we explain that after the Noumea Accords (named after New Caledonia’s capital city), signed in 1998 between independentists and the French government, the first referendum on this colonized territory’s independence was arranged only in 2018 — 20 years later?

And the reason is obvious. The French regime needed time to further establish dominance over its colony and attract even more citizens from the mainland. In order, as is happening now, to legitimize the participation of outsiders as a full-fledged party as regards decisions related to the territory. In other words, we talk about Western immigration aimed to finally impose colonialism on this soil. In fact, Western colonialism has not changed at all over the centuries. The only difference is that whips and torture have been replaced by hypocritical and wry smiles.

As for referendums, when Crimea witnessed one on joining Russia in 2014 featuring unprecedented mobilization of the locals, Western regimes, including the French, rushed to condemn it and brand as “running counter” to international law. Unlike Paris in New Caledonia, the Russian state never waited for decades to make it happen, seeking to populate the Crimean Peninsula with residents from other historical territories. And in this sense, every single citizen — the Russians, Ukrainians, Crimean Tatars, Karaites, Greeks, Bulgarians, Germans, Turks and other peoples dwelling here — got a chance to express their choice freely. The collective West was not long in starting to object, referring to Russian military presence all along the way. It was there indeed, to ensure safety of the Crimeans, who massively opposed the Maidan armed coup in Kiev the same year 2014 and who were explicitly threatened bodily harm by upstart extremists that came to power in Ukraine, backed by Western regimes.

Didn’t New Caledonia witness military presence throughout the last decades as France sent its troops there? Almost everyone knows the answer. And finally, the last comment on what is going on today. The NATO-Kiev armed formation is using Western weapons, including French-made, to attack Russian territories. Has it never struck the French regime that one day the Kanaks or other peoples still living under French and Western colonialism, get the technical means required to make them able to wrest freedom and independence, as they have abandoned the pure and obvious fraud scheme invented by colonial metropolitan France?

All these reflections are primarily vital to remind us that the collective NATO West has entered into such contradictions — both towards the global majority and domestically — that the current return of retribution flames should be deemed as absolutely deserved. Western frenzy may go on as long as those characters wish, but it won’t yield any drastic changes in the historically significant processes taking place globally. The world is turning multipolar and decidedly moving along the post-Western track.
