Contre la gendarmerie planétaire

On se souvient de Claude Lanzmann, né en 1925. Entré dans les maquis d’Auvergne à dix-huit ans, membre des FFI d’Auvergne en 1944, pour empêcher ou retarder la remontée de troupes allemandes vers la Normandie. Frère du parolier Jacques Lanzmann, ami de Michel Tournier, amant de Simone de Beauvoir, il lui succède à la direction des Temps Modernes à son décès en 1986. On garde de lui surtout son inscription au registre de la Mémoire du monde de l’UNESCO, pour sa longue enquête sur les conditions exactes du transport et de l’extermination des Juifs durant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. Une enquête de sept ans, de 1974 à 1981, 350 heures filmées d’entretiens avec les acteurs historiques et les témoins, synthétisées en dix heures du film Shoah, sorti en 1985.

Ce que l’on sait, c’est son opposition radicale à ce qu’il a défini comme « la gendarmerie planétaire », en avril 2011, durant les bombardements français et « alliés », anglo-américains, sur la Libye. « J’ai toujours été hostile à ce type d’intervention de la gendarmerie planétaire ».

Dès 1991, il prenait position contre la guerre du Golfe. En 2003, il dénonçait la fabrication du mythe d’ « armes de destruction massive » en Irak, et s’opposait à cette nouvelle guerre de marque impériale.

« En 1991 et 2003, quand les missiles Tomahawk s’abattaient sur Bagdad, j’étais – et c’est l’absolue vérité – déjà viscéralement révulsé par ce spectacle diffusé en boucle sur les télévisions du monde entier. De même, j’ai très mal vécu le bombardement de Belgrade et ceux du Kosovo [1999]. »

« Ce que je n’ai pu supporter, c’est l’hypocrisie du langage, la litote, ce terme de ‘frappe’ répété à l’envi. La ‘frappe’, c’est la fessée, donc l’infantilisation de la politique. »

« Nous sommes en présence d’une technologie kamikaze, mais dans le camp des frappeurs ne périt que la ferraille. (…) C’est surtout la légèreté avec laquelle on prend son parti des dévastations et des changements extrêmes entraînés par la guerre, qu’elle soit nommée ou innommée, qui m’apparaît scandaleuse. » 23 avril 2011, Marianne

Nous n’avons besoin de personne pour nous sentir horrifiés par la folie dévastatrice du « Complexe Militaro-Industriel » (Eisenhower, janvier 1961). Ce qui nous manque, trop souvent, c’est une généalogie de tout ce chaos : 1991… 1999… 2003… 2011…2026…

De Bagdad à Belgrade, et Bagdad encore, puis Tripoli, Damas, maintenant Téhéran…

Chercher à comprendre ?

Winston commença à lire :

« La division du monde en trois grand Etats principaux… l’Eurasie, l’Océanie, et l’Estasie…

Groupés d’une façon ou d’une autre, ces trois super-Etats sont en guerre d’une façon permanente depuis vingt-cinq ans. La guerre, cependant, n’est plus la lutte désespérée jusqu’à l’anéantissement, comme dans les premières décennies du vingtième siècle. C’est une lutte dont les objectifs sont limités, entre combattants incapables de se détruire l’un l’autre, qui […] ne sont divisés par aucune différence idéologique véritable. Cela ne veut pas dire que la conduite de la guerre […] soit moins sanguinaire…

Au contraire, l’hystérie guerrière est continue et universelle dans tous les pays, et le viol, le pillage, le meurtre d’enfants, la mise en esclavage des populations […] sont considérés comme normaux.

Pour comprendre la nature de la présente guerre, car en dépit des regroupements qui se succèdent à peu d’intervalle, c’est toujours la même guerre, on doit d’abord se rendre compte qu’il est impossible qu’elle soit décisive. Aucun des trois super-Etats ne pourrait être définitivement conquis, même par les deux autres réunis.

[…] Les habitants de ces pays […] sont employés, comme une quantité donnée de charbon ou d’huile, à produire plus d’armes, à s’emparer de plus de territoires et à posséder une plus grande puissance de main-d’œuvre pour produire plus d’armes, […] et ainsi de suite indéfiniment.

L’objectif de toute guerre déclenchée, c’est toujours d’être en meilleure position pour livrer une autre guerre. […] Le but primordial de la guerre moderne […étant] de consommer entièrement les produits de la machine sans élever le niveau de vie. »

On saute quelques pages.

« La recherche de nouvelles armes se poursuit sans cesse.[…] et aucun des trois super-Etats ne gagne jamais sur les autres un avantage significatif. […] Aucun des trois super-Etats ne tente jamais de manoeuvre qui implique le risque d’une défaite sérieuse. »

« On ne permet pas au citoyen d’Océanie de savoir quoi que ce soit des codes des deux autres philosophies, mais on lui enseigne à les exécrer et à les considérer comme des outrages barbares en termes de morale et de sens commun. En vérité, les trois philosophies se distinguent à peine l’une de l’autre, et les systèmes sociaux qu’elles supportent ne se distinguent pas du tout les uns des autres.

Il y a partout la même structure pyramidale, le même culte d’un dirigeant semi-divin, le même système économique existant par et pour une guerre continuelle. »

« Comme d’habitude, les groupes dirigeants des trois puissances […] savent aussi qu’il est nécessaire que la guerre continue indéfiniment et sans victoire. »

« Coupé de tout contact avec le monde extérieur et avec le passé, le citoyen d’Océanie est comme un homme des espaces interstellaires qui n’a aucun moyen de savoir dans quelle direction est le haut et où peut être le bas. Les dirigeants d’un tel Etat sont absolus, plus que n’ont pu l’être les Pharaons ou les Césars.

[…] La guerre, quoi qu’irréelle n’est pas dépourvue de sens. Elle dévore le surplus des produits de consommation, et elle aide à préserver l’atmosphère mentale spéciale dont a besoin une société complètement hiérarchisée.

Comme on va le voir, la guerre est une affaire désormais purement intérieure. 

[…] La guerre est menée par chaque groupe dirigeant contre ses propres sujets et son objectif n’est pas de faire ou d’empêcher des conquêtes de territoires, mais de maintenir intacte la structure de la société. »

Ces trois super-Etats… L’Océanie ? Mais voyons, les pays de l’OTAN, Traité de l’Atlantique Nord, et leurs associés…

L’Eurasie ? Ce serait la Russie, et ses alliés économiques, de l’Iran à l’Inde ?

L’Estasie ? La Chine, bien sûr, et ses partenaires, d’Asie en Afrique…

Alors oui, bien sûr, avant-hier « Saddam », et puis « Milosevic », hier « Gaddafi », et puis « Assad », « Poutine », et maintenant « Khamenei »… Demain : ?

Coupé de tout contact avec le monde extérieur, le citoyen d’Océanie ?

1984 + 42

“In one combination or another, these three super-states [Oceania, Eurasia, Eastasia] are permanently at war, and have been so for the past twenty-five years. War, however is no longer the desperate, annihilating struggle that it was in the early decades of the twentieth century. It is a warfare of limited aims between combatants who are unable to destroy one another, have no material cause for fighting and are not divided by any genuine ideological difference. This is not to say that either the conduct of war, or the prevailing attitude towards it, has become less bloodthirsty or more chivalrous. On the contrary, war hysteria is continuous and universal in all countries…”

“To understand the nature of the present war – … – one must realise in the first place that it is impossible for it to be decisive.”

“… and the object of waging a war is always to be in a better position in which to wage another war.
(…) The citizen of Oceania is not allowed to know anything of the tenets of the other two philosophies, but he is taught to execrate them as barbarous outrages upon morality and common sense. Actually the three philosophies are barely distinguishable, and the social systems which they support are not distinguishable at all. Everywhere there is the same pyramidal structure, the same worship of a semi-divine leader, the same economy existing by and for continuous warfare.
(…) it is necessary that the war should continue everlastingly and without victory.”

“When war is continuous there is no such thing as military necessity.

(…) Cut off from contact with the outer world, and with the past, the citizen of Oceania is like a man in interstellar space, who has no way of knowing which direction is up and which is down.”

“The war, if we judge it by the standards of previous wars, is merely an imposture. (…) It eats up the surplus of consumable goods, and it helps to preserve the special mental atmosphere that a hierarchical society needs. War, it will be seen, is now a purely internal affair.”

George Orwell, 1984

Lo and behold, in March 2026 about eighty percent of our visitors are from Asia (China, Singapore…). 10% from North America. 5% from France, 2% from Germany. 1% from Sweden, Poland, the Netherlands. Interesting shift, compared to what it was in 2024 and 2025.

The historical hinge between the continents, Palestine-Israel, has been cruelly battered from the end of 2024 till the end of 2025. The whole gate frame is now burning, from Lebanon again to Iran. There are rising concerns about the prices of oil all over.

Oil prices ‘could breach $100 a barrel within days’ amid supply disruption from Iran war
It already means crucial rising fuel prices and higher transportation fees for millions. They now are above. World economy is at grave risk, has warned the UN chief.

Sadly, this is all trivial, compared to the death of 165 schoolgirls and the maiming of dozens under bombing in a primary school in Southerneast Iran, on the last day of February 2026. Nobody outside their families will know or remember their names. They’ve been turned into fractions of abstract numbers.

Lettre de Liaison 142

11 novembre 2025

Commentaire d’une spectatrice qui n’avait jamais assisté à un de ces concerts : « ça redonne du baume au cœur, quelqu’un qui est beau à regarder, beau à écouter, qui a de l’humour, lucide, » et qui est « à 96 ans, le même homme, intact, qu’il était en 1964-1966 ».

	Alors, oui, n’hésitez pas : partout où il se produira, ne manquez pas d’y aller. C’est bien le même qui était avec Martin Luther King, dans ce même Palais des Sports, en mars 1966, pour un concert contre le racisme, pour y chanter Les crayons de couleur.
C’est bien le même qui découvre Bob Dylan alors inconnu, à New York, en 1961, pour traduire par suite ses textes et introduire sa pensée, sa musique, en France. Semper Fidelis, devise de Saint-Malo : Toujours Fidèle. Intemporel.

Alors, voilà : il vaudrait mieux bien faire attention à se dégager du temporel, de tout ce qui nous enfonce dans le marécage au jour le jour de « l’actuel », des actualités, telles qu’elles nous sont inoculées.

La guerre est finie, à Gaza ?

Dans ce cas, pourquoi plus de quinze cents immeubles ont-ils été rasés par l’armée israélienne, depuis le 10 octobre 2025 ?

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0mxylxw48yo

Pourquoi deux cent cinquante Palestiniens ont-ils été abattus en un mois ?

La guerre est finie, si vous le voulez, avertissaient John Lennon, le Beatles assassiné, et Yoko Ono, sur les murs de New York, en 1969 (cf. notre dernière Lettre de Liaison, du 21 octobre). War is over, if you want it. C’est-à-dire qu’elle ne dure qu’avec votre consentement, votre accord.

Et il ne s’agit pas (que) de la vieille, longue guerre des Hébreux et des Philistins. Où que l’on se tourne, on trouve le conflit, l’exclusion, le jugement sans appel, la non-prise en compte de l’Autre. Le refus, en somme, d’entendre, d’écouter, de chercher à comprendre. Et encore plus, de mettre des actes en accord avec des paroles, des pensées.

Ajoutez la fausseté, l’hypocrisie ordinaire, la fuite des responsabilités, le défaussement.

Avec, en toile de fond, le découragement permanent, le renoncement, un égocentrisme amer et frileux, qui ressasse ses défaites subies, et la vanité de toute alternative.

Vous voyez bien qu’il ne s’agit pas encore de Gaza.

Une fois admis que la guerre d’annihilation menée là-bas d’octobre 2023 à maintenant n’a été possible qu’avec le consentement général, la passivité des personnes de tous pays et de leurs représentants.

Il est bien facile de critiquer Trump, Netanyahou, Macron & co, mais c’est oublier qu’ils ont été élus, avec une majorité de voix, au cours d’élections régulières, répétées. Relire La Boétie, son Discours de la servitude volontaire (au programme du Bac, en France, en 2026).

Où le bât risque de blesser : tous ceux, ici, qui ont voté « Macron » en 2022 ont voté pour la guerre contre les Russes, poussant plus loin les pires limites de la « guerre froide » (1947-1991). En connaissance de causes ? Que diront-ils lorsque cette guerre s’arrêtera, comme elles s’arrêtent toutes, faute de combattants, ou de profits suffisants ? Après combien de morts ?

Oser voir les choses en face : les guerres qui nous affectent le plus depuis 2022, 2023, ne se font qu’avec le soutien passif, la volonté opaque et profonde des millions (d’Américains, de Français, d’Israéliens…) qui les tolèrent, les approuvent, les justifient malgré eux, à longueur de temps.

Sortir du train-train quotidien, à la surface des ragots, des rumeurs, du papotage.

Reprendre de la profondeur de champ.

« Quel glas sonne pour ceux qui meurent comme du bétail ? » Wilfred Owen, poète anglais, tué le 4 novembre 1918 à Ors, dans le Nord, avec ses camarades du Second Manchesters, par les Allemands sur l’autre rive du canal. Une semaine avant l’armistice. L’un seulement des 885.000 Anglais et des deux millions d’Allemands massacrés dans cette boucherie industrielle de la Première Guerre Mondiale. Des Français ? un million quatre cent mille. Des Russes ? un million huit cent mille.

Voilà d’où nous venons. Près de dix millions d’hommes de troupe tués entre 1914 et 1918. Neuf millions de civils. Plus de vingt et un millions de soldats estropiés, mutilés, amputés. Ceux-là sont morts, se sont fait estropier à vie non tant « pour la France » ou « pour l’Allemagne » que pour les fabricants de canons Krupp et Schneider-Le Creusot.

A Ors, le 11 novembre 2025, ils étaient une centaine d’hommes, de femmes, et d’enfants, à se rassembler autour de la dernière demeure de Wilfred Owen, lieu de départ d’une première Marche pour la Paix. En raison, disent-ils, de « l’odeur de poudre qui flotte dans l’atmosphère actuelle » et d’une « menace qui plane comme dans les années 1930 » – que sait-on des pertes russes et ukrainiennes ? Les uns les évaluent à cent mille pour les Ukrainiens, trois fois plus pour les Russes.

Les marcheurs d’Ors se veulent « éveilleurs », « éducateurs de la conscience ». Ils ne sont pas seuls.

« Votre esprit tout entier est un brouillard que les Toltèques appellent un mitoté (…) dans lequel des milliers de personnes parlent en même temps, et personne ne comprend personne. » (Les Quatre Accords Toltèques).

Ces Lettres, comme autant de feux anti-brouillard, sachant combien le brouillard des mass media va continuer à s’épaissir tout autour de nous, « économie de guerre » oblige.

Si nous avions encore à préciser la partie qui est la nôtre, de Jérusalem et Naplouse à Strasbourg et Paris, ce serait en tant que sentinelles, veilleurs. Veilleurs bienveillants.

« Quand j’amène l’épée sur un pays, les gens de l’endroit choisissent l’un d’entre eux pour en faire une sentinelle. Si la sentinelle voit venir l’épée, il sonne la trompette pour donner l’alarme à la population. Si alors quelqu’un entend la sonnerie sans y prêter attention, et que l’épée vienne le faire périr, il est responsable de ce qui lui est arrivé : il a entendu la sonnerie de la trompette mais n’y a pas pris garde : il est responsable de ce qui lui advient. Mais celui qui aura tenu compte de l’alarme aura la vie sauve.» Ezéchiel, 33, 2-5.

Pour conclure, provisoirement, sur une note moins comminatoire, c’est une question d’intérêt personnel. D’équilibre interne, d’harmonie profonde de la personne. De cohérence. De renforcement dans la résilience.

Si mon but est bien, après Giono, de comprendre ce monde qui est là, dont je fais forcément partie, et de le goûter de mes sens, autant ne pas le trouver âcre, amer, abject.

L’espérance statistique de vie en France, pour les hommes, étant de 80 ans, un peu moins de 86 pour les femmes, nous proposons une autre lecture du possible, d’autres modèles.

Fauja Singh, champion de marathon à cent ans, tué par une auto à 114 ans. Ernst Jünger, officier durant les deux guerres mondiales, écrivain, entomologiste, mort en 1998 dans sa 103^ème année, dans son sommeil. Stéphane Hessel, résistant, diplomate, disparu en 2013 dans sa 96^ème année…

Durer dans ce monde ? Aller aux limites convenues, et au-delà ? Les yeux ouverts.

La révoltante violence, l’hallucinante cruauté méthodique de ce qui s’est passé à Gaza de la fin 2023 jusqu’à maintenant, vous aideront peut-être à relativiser vos soucis et priorités, dans cette société de facilités et de centres commerciaux qui regorgent de toutes choses.

Le massacre des innocents à si peu de distance d’Ashkelon, de Tel Aviv, a été suffisamment documenté.

Si vous deviez ne retenir qu’un article, ce pourrait être celui du Washington Post, du 30 juillet 2025.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/interactive/2025/israel-gaza-war-children-death-toll/

« 60.000 personnes ont été tuées à Gaza. 18.500 étaient des enfants. Voici leurs noms. »

Le chiffre, depuis, est monté à plus de 69.000, en trois mois. On nous dit que la guerre est finie ?

Engagés auprès des vivants, des survivants, nous soutenons comme nous pouvons la famille Bilal – Massoud Bilal, cet universitaire deux fois déporté avec les siens entre octobre 2023 et septembre 2025. Aux dernières nouvelles (mardi 11 novembre), ils essayaient de rentrer chez eux, à Gaza City.

A ceux qui se poseraient la question légitime d’une parité : nos amis survivants israéliens et les réfugiés de Nir Oz, Kyriat Gat, ne manquent de rien. L’état hébreu pourvoit généreusement à leurs besoins, avec la diaspora. La reconstruction a bien commencé dans les kibboutz frontaliers saccagés par l’attaque du 7 octobre 2023.

3. Le principe d’égalité.

C’est parce que tous les êtres humains sont égaux absolument que nous ne pouvons accepter aucun discours de discrimination. Ainsi, laisser des êtres humains croupir dans leur détresse, sous prétexte de fatalité ou d’impuissance, est le commencement même des systèmes d’extermination collective et de ségrégation. Nous n’acceptons aucune forme de séparatisme, d’apartheid, quelle qu’en soit la logique.

5. Le principe de défense des minorités, des opprimés.

L’oppression existe, sous de multiples masques, et nous la combattons, partout où elle déclenche son cortège de haines, de boycotts personnels, de refus du dialogue. Ce combat reste non-violent (…).

Vous laisser sur une note plutôt optimiste : la position française, concernant le Proche-Orient, est impeccable, et assez courageuse. Le Président français et son homologue palestinien ont annoncé, à Paris, ce 11 novembre, la création d’un Comité Conjoint franco-palestinien pour mettre au point la constitution de l’Etat palestinien. La France garde donc son cap sur la question, et marche devant, en Europe. C’est pour nous réconfortant.

Reste que, répétons-le : il nous reste une soixantaine d’euros en caisse. Nous n’attendons pas que votre encouragement de participation, nous avons aussi besoin de vos réactions, vos points-de-vue.
