6.2 THE FLANK OF SAINT-PIERRE ET MIQUELON<br />

How can you discover that a military operation, which has all <strong>of</strong> the<br />

appearances <strong>of</strong> being wrong, turns out to be right? There was an apparently<br />

insignificant event during World War II, which had all <strong>of</strong> the appearance <strong>of</strong><br />

being a strategic blunder, but which turned out to be to the advantage <strong>of</strong> both<br />

the allied forces and the Free French. The story is the de Gaulle Free French<br />

take over <strong>of</strong> St. <strong>Pierre</strong> and Miquelon Islands, <strong>of</strong>f the coast <strong>of</strong> Canada, while<br />

Churchill and Roosevelt were celebrating Christmas Eve, together in<br />

Washington D.C.<br />

It became clear, very early on, that if the Roosevelt administration had<br />

given its open support to the Free French, and Charles de Gaulle in London,<br />

and if Charles de Gaulle, himself, had not constantly made a public stink<br />

about American diplomatic relations with the Vichy government, the entire<br />

networks <strong>of</strong> synarchist operatives interfacing the French government and the<br />

international Synarchist banking circles would never have come to the light<br />

<strong>of</strong> day. If some people were dismayed by the negative display <strong>of</strong> public<br />

relations between de Gaulle and Roosevelt, it was merely because they fell<br />

prey to the "leftist" press and the clamors <strong>of</strong> public opinion <strong>of</strong> the time. This<br />

point will become clearer as we proceed further in this report.<br />

On December 24, 1942, General Admiral Emile Muselier, under the<br />

order <strong>of</strong> General de Gaulle, led the Free French forces into a surprise<br />

occupation <strong>of</strong> the Vichy controlled Islands <strong>of</strong> St. <strong>Pierre</strong> and Miquelon <strong>of</strong>f the<br />

coast <strong>of</strong> Newfoundland. The ostensible reason for the occupation <strong>of</strong> the tiny<br />

Islands was to dismantle a powerful wireless transmitting station, which<br />

served as a guide to enemy submarines <strong>of</strong>f the coast <strong>of</strong> Canada and the<br />

Unites States. It was widely known that, during the war, German submarines<br />

had penetrated the Saint-Lawrence River all the way up to Montreal. The<br />

Canadian, British, and American governments had been approached to<br />

consider such an operation, but none <strong>of</strong> them had given their consent, when<br />

de Gaulle decided to strike, on his own authority.<br />

Needless to say that the surprise was much greater in Ottawa,<br />

Washington, and London, than it was in this remote half deserted outpost for<br />

a handful <strong>of</strong> French fishermen. No one was hurt, except the pride <strong>of</strong><br />

Canadian Prime Minister, Mackenzie King. The other surprise came when,<br />
