Irrelevant

"He is well known for his anti-pedophile activism."

How ? When ? Where ? On google, the only sources that support him are conspiracy websites.
Not very serious.

From the french article, this guys seems to like attention : when it's not rumors about the "pedophile conspiracy", it's the freemasons or the romani.
But did he ever do something ? Did he help to catch a criminal ? Nope. Ranting is not enough to be labelled "anti-pedophile activist". He's just a politician.
ps : now his new rant is the french intervention in Mali. He denounces the "international manipulation", the "neo-colonialism", "the lies of the war on terror"... The usual stuff.

You're a fucking idiot.

now the page is even talking shit about him: "Laurent Louis is well known for having tried to use alleged anti-pedophile activism in order to promote himself" ... lol? as long as it talks shit about him its no longer irrelevant? what is going on here?

"…In order to promote himself" is what is written in the newspapers and magazines of national importance used in the references. --H₂O^(talk) 17:05, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, Laurent speaks of Freemasons, the Romani and the Illuminati, but his intended target is the 0.01%, as indicated by his comments on control of the economy and govt by the Illuminati et al (as well as protecting the pedophiles). In essence he is trying to establish a nefarious historical context for the corruptions of the 0.01%. That Laurent uses the inflammatory language of Freemasons, Romani, and Illuminati for purposes of inciting the less educated members of his political base does not automatically reduce the rest of his argument to to "self promotion". In this case, I would request some consideration of the tendency, when people talk of the hegemony of the 0.01%, for them to be dismissed as conspiricists. Is there or is there not an elitist class whose interests run counter to egalitarian principles? How much cultural control is exerted by the fact that around 147 companies control the worlds economic tides -- http://www.cbsnews.com/news/report-who-really-controls-global-economy/ -- or by the fact that these elites control the electoral process in the US via unlimited campaign donations and ownership of 90% of the media there? It is not a conspiracy. It is an overt economic hijacking of the State. And it's not just in the US. It's starting up full swing in Belgium, and Laurent is pointing that out, if rather flamboyantly.

Any documents of reference in order to substantiate the above claims? Or are these merely personal thoughts with no available back-up based on reliable sources? Because there are on the contrary many sources that show that most of the Belgian consider that his usual rants are completely worthless. --Lebob (talk) 12:41, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
