The King of the "New Philosophers" is nothing more than a shill for the sinking Empire of Chaos

It would be easy to dismiss Bernard-Henri Levy as a vainglorious douchebag, but he’s a douchebag who still has a lot of schlep. The great BHL, as he styles himself, took credit early on for the liberation of Libya. Given how that triumph has worked out, one can only marvel that any reputable news platform would bother to publish his ruminations viz the latest Nations of Virtue operation, the liberation of Syria.

But there he was the other day, in Canada’s national newspaper of record (and no, that’s not the National Post), waxing wise on the whys and why-nots of the crusade against Assad. The paper earnestly informs us that BHL is a founder of the Nouveaux Philosophes movement.

Wow! Guess we are meant to be mightily impressed!

BHL’s essay begins with a couple of highly speculative assertions presented as facts in the first paragraph, and goes downhill from there. Hey, he’s a philosopher, not a journalist!

Here’s one of the few real working journalists still working the Syria file, Patrick Cockburn, contradicting most of what the great BHL has to say.

So who are you going to believe?
