A French cement company will pay $778m in fines after it pled guilty to funding ISIS as the terror group was killing western hostages, the Justice Department has announced.

Lafarge Cement admitted to conspiring to provide material support to the terror organisation in a federal court in Brooklyn on Tuesday. The company paid Isis $17m between August 2013 and October 2014 to keep its cement plant in Syria running, according to Reuters.

“Lafarge SA and LCS have accepted responsibility for the actions of the individual executives involved, whose behavior was in flagrant violation of Lafarge’s Code of Conduct,” the company, which is now known as Lafarge Holcim, said in a statement. “We deeply regret that this conduct occurred and have worked with the U.S. Department of Justice to resolve this matter.”

After an internal investigation, Lafarge admitted in 2017 that it had paid the terror group to protect its staff.

US prosecutors accused the company of ignoring Isis’s human right abuses and continuing to pay the militant group as it was torturing kidnapped Westerners.

“The defendants routed nearly six million dollars in illicit payments to two of the world’s most notorious terrorist organisations — ISIS and al-Nusrah Front in Syria — at a time those groups were brutalising innocent civilians in Syria and actively plotting to harm Americans,” Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen said in a statement obtained by the Associated Press. 

“There is simply no justification for a multi-national corporation authorizing payments to designated terrorist organisation.”

Everytime something happens in France in a comic, I realize how little researches comics writers do. And like, if they are this bad with my western country, how bad it is with third-world countries they talk about???

In Nightwing (2016), Raptor is from a circus that was near Paris during Mary Grayson's childhood, so more than 40 years ago at least.

In this flashback, they accuse the mayor of Paris of having given leprosy to the romani and of keeping away the meds they need. Already, with our healthcare's system, it's hardly possible, as they would be able to go to a hospital to get the help they need. Do they think "public healthcare" means the state has a direct control on medication, because that's not the case at all. The French gov control the money put into medication, how much is bought, but a mayor has no power over this. I just don't understand how something like this could happen. You can totally write a racist medical scandal in France, but makes it make sense with our system.

But also, Paris didn't have a mayor until 1977, so if it's before 1977, impossible. And, Paris' mayor from 1977 to 1995 is JACQUES CHIRAC, who was the PRESIDENT after. They wrote a story implying that a French President kept medications away from sick people, was discovered and was still elected President. And, yes, the French government is far from good and they have deeply harmed the romani, but like, maybe don't write shit like that. (Also, Chirac was really against the war of Iraq, and stood up against the US, which France is still paying the price for to this day. So I don't really like an USAmerican to criticize Chirac. Like, we can do it, others can do it, but not USAmericans, y'all have done enough) I'm pretty sure that wasn't the goal of the writers. No, what happen is that they didn't do researches about Paris' mayor and so, wrote that shit.

This may be inspired by the contaminated blood's scandal in the 80s-90s, which was worst in France, but no mayor was found guilty, it was doctors who knowingly contaminated patients with a deadly illness. And the French government was held accountable, even if they had no hand in it, as a matter of principle.

I understand it's a fiction, and they didn't literally wrote "Chirac did this", but it's kind of clumsy. (Especially because of everything I wrote earlier about Chirac's politics and how the US is still punishing France for being against killing civilians and destroying Iraq. France was doing the right thing, and the US worked so France would go back in line and treat Arabs like shit. Do not think western countries are free from the US' imperialism)

And in no way I'm saying that you cannot write France being awful, I know my gov's crimes (rn, they have deported homeless out of Paris for the Olympics, the President is refusing to acknowledge the left won the elections and to take a leftist prime minister so we have no prime minister since mid July and fuck democracy I guess, they support Israel's crimes against humanity, and are behaving like the colonizers that they are in New-Caledonia, sending the armies against the Kanaks that have not enough power on their own land), I'm just saying it should at least be believable enough to work. (Easiest way: make the cops racist. Boom. Also, French cops talk like vilains, it's insane.) And also, not about someone touchy like clumsily painting badly a president that was punished by the US for doing the right thing.

[apenitentialprayer]

For when religious men lose confidence in the power of moral principles to effect good in the world, the immediate and terrible result is that force and violence are called into play to solve the social evils that cannot longer be endured. [...] Hence the question: "Isn't it the race problem hopeless?" we answer: "To declare a moral problem hopeless is to declare the bankruptcy of human society."

- Fr. John LaFarge, S.J. (Interracial Justice: A Study of Catholic Doctrine on Race Relations, page 7)
