[Robert Faurisson was a French Holocaust denier to whom the racist French artiste Dieudonné gave an award]

November has been a dark month for freedom. Indeed, the recent deadly attacks in Paris have served to overshadow several ever-more ghastly attempts by Zionist organisations to stifle freedom of expression. Worst of all, this assault on our most precious of human rights – to be allowed to think for ourselves – is supported by nation states defined as secular western liberal democracies.

Freedom of expression is the well-spring of democracy yet this month we’ve seen state prosecutions lead to jail sentences in three of the world’s supposedly most-developed countries : Ursula Haverbeck in Germany, Arthur Topham in Canada and now a Belgian court has sentenced French comedian Dieudonné to two months in prison for ‘anti-Semitic’ jokes he made during a show in 2012.

I’ve been following Dieudonné since the Anelka incident. In January, just after the Charlie Hebdo attacks, I went to see his show ‘La bête immonde’ in Lausanne. There is no doubt in my mind that the man is a genius. No amateur of French language and culture could deny the immensity of his writing talent. Despite a notable lack of any balanced commentary from French and global mainstream media, his greatness is what makes him France’s most successful comedian. He is indisputably the best by miles.

Twice in the space of a fortnight, world Jewry’s public enemy n° 1 stand-up comedian has been again the subject of rigid press releases citing past convictions meant to impress the reader after the ECHR’s decision not to accept Dieudonné’s appeal concerning Professor Robert Faurisson’s fictive Prize for Infrequentability and Insolence.

By claiming that Faurisson’s appearance was not part of the show itself, the ECHR has effectively validated Faurisson’s prize – making it a reality rather than just a provocative ending to a comedy show in a theatre. The prize should become an annual event, Le Trophée Faurisson, pourquoi pas?
