"Making it happen ma'at and annihilate is?phet; judge men and satisfy the gods. " This is 
the mandate received by the pharaoh at the beginning of his reign. In other words, work on 
the restoration on earth of the perfect order of the world and society, struggling against 
disorder and violence that constantly threaten; then arbitrate and worship. To carry out 
its mission, the Pharaoh has two main tools: the army and the administration, that is to 
say the constraint. We are around 3000 BCE. A ruling class emerged in an unequal society 
Neolithic type characterized by private ownership, operation, patriarchy and already very 
hierarchical. Sacred kingship was born. The state sets in, instrument and guarantor of a 
balance of power that wants eternal. ---- For a historian of the long term, it is striking 
that, here nearly five thousand years, our social and political organization is, in 
outline, is already in place. The State has the classical royal prerogatives, namely the 
rights he attributes to tax and troops, to render justice and to be obeyed by his 
subjects. The priest-king knows the importance of communication and keeps the people in 
credulity.

Overview of the events of the last five days. Wednesday, January 7, anarchists including 
several journalists Freemasons are murdered in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. Friday 9 
at Porte de Vincennes, Jewish clients of a grocery store are also killed. In all, 
seventeen victims of an Islamist group. The order of the world is threatened by evil. 
Police officers were shot. The French government trembles on its foundations while 
supposedly omniscient, he should have prevented the disaster. Thursday 8, we heard the 
bells of Notre Dame death knell. When will the alarm? The fragile agreement justifies the 
power relations within society may be broken.

Opportunistic, Prince see in the immediate future, the opportunity to rebuild their badly 
damaged legitimacy and, ultimately, strengthen the power of the state. The nation was 
divided? Here scapegoats from different philosophical or religious communities are 
sacrificed on the altar of politics. Better yet, it is the fool of a king- satirique- 
weekly that was targeted. This jester that serves safety valve to power and strengthens 
the eyes of all, its democratic nature.

The priest-king can come on stage, backed by his media clergy. Friday 9 as Bonaparte from 
the tent to join his staff, he went on foot to the Interior Ministry. He is invulnerable 
because his person, at least he wants to have us believe, is sacred. The Fatherland is in 
danger, but the Savior on the front.

Usually at night the French follow their daily thrillers where the hostages are common. 
Or, brutalized by work or depressed do not have them, they relax in front of the reality 
shows that their empty a little brain. Now they are dumbfounded by what they see, minute 
by minute, on all TV channels. In this struggle between Good and Evil, they are given the 
opportunity to check the proper functioning of the state machine that propaganda does not 
hesitate to show nauseum. Of course, it is primarily the retributive function which is 
directed by the pervasiveness of all police forces. But it is what will allow the 
authority to return the view for new protection measures and, in this way, to restore its 
tarnished reputation.

The company is based on an original sacrifice. In France, people are prepared by nearly 
two thousand years of Christianity to his need for redemption from their mistakes. Maybe 
they remember of St. Bartholomew, but certainly successive wars recounted their history 
textbooks and whose country emerged regenerated. The victims were immolated. On Good 
Friday, the impure blood murderers watered the furrows of the soil of France. Paris Paris 
martyred but released. La Marseillaise resonates everywhere and makes sense of military 
and vengeful anthem.

While it has long been not talking tens of thousands of deaths in Syria and the killing of 
two thousand Gazans during the last summer, the priest-king heads, Republic Square, an 
unlikely procession of forty-five counts of tribe (some dictators who, in tight rows, form 
a holy alliance) to practice an ancient shamanic rite of reconciliation with the people 
itself and the heavenly forces. Heart of the Middle Kingdom, Paris became the capital of 
the world. Reminiscent of the cult of the Supreme Being celebrated by Robespierre? The 
Lord's Day, Sunday, January 11, is, in any case, that of the resurrection. Father of the 
nation, the prince kissed effusively survivors of the attacks and greet with gratitude the 
determination and enforcement.

A political deal? For some time there will be no question of unemployment, homelessness, 
daily misery that is the fate of six million French. The people appear together, the 
sacred union of political parties seems momentarily performed (the dream of every 
monarch), but the class struggle, the struggle of capital owners and the owners of the 
means of production against those they dominate and exploit resume, without a doubt, 
tomorrow. Especially, in consultation with its foreign counterparts, paradoxically those 
who speak the same language as him, the prince hopes to easily strengthen the presence of 
the army in the streets recalling reservists as the repressive apparatus of state 
institutions and equip it new ways of citizen monitoring and control of social movements. 
So this is a fool's bargain. The emotion aroused by the assassination of Jaur?s peaceful 
did not prevent the massacre of a working class protest on the Chemin des Dames and Verdun.

Neither masters nor gods.
I said, Companions.
