France's intelligence services target America, in order to steal our business and technology secrets, according to Colonel David Hunt, a retired senior officer in the CIA's Directorate of Operations. While perhaps unknown to the general public, this targeting of American businesses has been well—known for decades. No less a figure than Charles DeGaulle initiated and authorized the policy of targeting American business to plunder its technological and strategic secrets.

It is time for the French Republic to change its slogan from "Liberte, egalite, fraternite" to "Lie, cheat and steal."
