Hi Adaryn, it's been a while since I followed Dieudonné and Soral a bit, and I thought they had some interesting things to say. So I'm curious as to how they/the movement have exposed themselves - is there a forum thread or sott article or something that you can point me to (I also read French)? Thanks a lot!
There's been a lot of unsavory revelations and stuff going on regarding Soral/Dieudonné these past few months.
Soral, to begin with, has exposed himself as a complete whacko and a sexual predator. Well, it came as no surprise, given his past. But still, he claimed he had been "redeemed" and "found the light" (after all, he said that if Jesus were to reincarnate, he (Jesus) would sit at Soral's right hand side
). Well, a few months ago, he was caught sending pics of him naked to a black young woman to whom he sent racist and very insulting text messages. Of course, for him, it was all a "zionist" conspiracy, yeah right.
Following that affair and Soral's fallout with most members of the French "dissi-dance" (where he insulted about everyone, starting with LLP), LLP made a series of 5 videos exposing Soral's dubious past and links to the National Front (he's apparently financed by one of the big bananas of the NF, Philippe Péninque, who also happens to be a friend of the fraudster Jérôme Cahuzac). This series of videos is called "Soraloscopie", you can find them on YouTube. There's a lot more, but I think you'll get the gist of it by watching the videos.
As for Dieudonné, it seems he's reached a point of no return. First, he goes into partnership with convicted serial killers (one of whom he named his "publication director") and pedophiles (the infamous Patrice Alègre) – always under the "guise of humor" and "second degree", you know. Then, he claims he's gonna emancipate people from the system by creating a totally "independent" insurance company. When Laurent Louis – another dubious guy, who was supposed to be involved in that insurance project but decided to quit because Dieudonné wouldn't pay him enough - it's all about money you know – denounced Dieudonné's project as a fraud, Dieudonné, hiding behind Patrice Alègre, answered him with one of the filthiest articles I've ever seen (didn't have the stomach to read it, I just perused it and read other people's accounts of it), attacking Louis' adopted disabled daughter (a 6 y.o. child!) in the most disgusting manner.

Needless to say that this article (most probably penned by Dieudonné but signed under the name of P. Alègre) sparked public outrage even amongst his fans, many of whom just stopped being fans. The article was unpublished from Dieudonné's website, but screen captures are still available. Strangely, the mainstream media, which are always eager to trash Dieudonné, never said a word about this scandal.
An article from last April summing up the last events regarding Dieudonné (minus the Laurent Louis affair, which happened later) : _https://lequichotte.wordpress.com/2015/04/25/dieudonn-lhomme-suite/
In short, this "so-called" dissidence has been a slow motion train wreck, and I wonder if it wasn't all manufactured from the beginning, to divert people's anger and discontent with the situation in France (particularly young people from the "banlieues"). It's been interesting to observe though. I think it's a prime example of ponerology, where pathologicals and conmen take over or create organizations promoting certain aims and values, whereas the real goal is hidden (make money, divert people's anger, manipulate, etc). I'm not sure if Soral/Dieudonné are conscious of what they're doing, or if they're just useful idiots. In any case, Dieudonné has made a huge amount of money, and he's announced his latest show (next year) would be the last. I guess it's time to draw the curtain - big show's over!
