- Three questions
.to
Jacques Gaillot
Facing terrorism, the need for security
has become the main concern of the people. Security policy is
being intensified. Can we be afraid that tomorrow every individual
will be under control?
-
- It is already coming. The new technologies
speed up this trend. Private information are already collected
and transmitted by Air companies, banks, and supermarkets
.
There are attempts to file in the genetic traits of the population.
-
Without speaking of the omnipresence
of surveillance video cameras installed in some cities. We are
going toward a society of control. Security overpasses our individual
rights. Public opinion does not react because it asks for maximal
security. |

- In France, the ecologist Nicolas
Hulot has become a key representative of the defense of the environment.
He is always alerting the politicians by saying that a major
catastrophe is on the doorstep of humanity. What can ordinary
citizens do?

They can change the way they live. Used
to a consumer society in our wealthy countries, we are invited
to consume less and live in a different way. This concerns transportation,
food, management of waste, use of energy, tracking down waste,
respect of nature
. People are becoming aware of that. It
is urgent. If we do nothing it will be too late. |
-
- The Israeli attacks on the Palestinian
population in the Gaza strip are multiplying. Is there a will
to break the national unity of the Palestinian people?
-
- Certainly. There is a hope to see
the right wing of Fattah rising up against the Hamas government
and then instigating a civil war. All the necessary ingredients
are gathered including and mostly the forced blockade of the
Palestinian people.
-
|
The people are economically strangled.
Deadly internal conflicts are happening. However, presently the
hatred of the occupying power is still strong and the national
unity is a deciding factor. |
