Ce que cache #Périclès, le projet politique réactionnaire du milliardaire #Pierre-Edouard_Stérin

Après avoir fait fortune dans les affaires, le milliardaire Pierre-Edouard Stérin assume désormais vouloir financer les projets « #métapolitiques » susceptibles de faire gagner la droite et l’extrême droite. Une première liste de ces initiatives vient d’être mise en ligne. Selon nos informations, elle pourrait ne constituer que la partie émergée de l’iceberg.

Un média, une chaîne Youtube, des associations catholiques ou libérales, des think tanks destinés au lobbying politique... La première liste des projets soutenus par « Périclès » - mise en ligne il y a quelques jours sur son site internet - n’est pas bien longue mais permet déjà de lever toute équivoque sur les intentions de l’homme à l’origine du projet, le milliardaire Pierre-Edouard Stérin. Après avoir fait fortune dans les affaires, cet exilé fiscal de 51 ans - il a fui en Belgique après l’élection de François Hollande en 2012 - ambitionne de faire gagner la droite et l’extrême droite en mettant à contribution son compte en banque. Soit un investissement de 250 millions d’euros annoncé en dix ans. Du jamais vu.

Cette initiative, baptisée donc « Périclès » (pour « Patriotes, Enracinés, Résistants, Identitaires, Chrétiens, Libéraux, Européens, Souverainistes »), devait, à l’origine, rester discrète mais elle avait été dévoilée en juillet dernier par nos confrères de « l’Humanité ». Lesquels, documents confidentiels à l’appui, ont détaillé le plan de « #bataille_culturelle » imaginé par Stérin et ses équipes pour « permettre la victoire idéologique, électorale et politique » de ses idées et de ses valeurs. Parmi elles, « la #famille, base de la société », la « #préférence_nationale », le « #christianisme ». Au programme également : la promesse de mener une « #guerilla_juridique » et « médiatique » face au « #socialisme », au « #wokisme » ou à « l’#islamisme ». Surtout, ces documents énuméraient des objectifs politiques précis, dont une aide concrète à apporter au #Rassemblement_national de Marine Le Pen pour remporter le plus grand nombre de victoires lors des prochaines #élections municipales en 2026.

Offensive sur tous les fronts

En l’état, au moins 24 projets auraient déjà bénéficié de la générosité de l’homme d’affaires l’année dernière, selon le site flambant neuf de Périclès. L’ensemble confirme sa volonté de mener son #offensive par petites touches et sur tous les fronts. On y retrouve sans surprise ses obsessions libérales avec la promotion des idées antiétatistes et anti-taxes, incarné par son soutien à des think tanks comme le #Cercle_Entreprises et #Libertés, de l’ex-patron d’#Elf_Loïk_Le_Floch-Prigent ; ou encore #Ethic, le syndicat patronal de #Sophie_de_Menthon (une des rares à assumer dialoguer avec Marine Le Pen), qui a reçu, selon nos informations, 3 000 euros pour l’organisation d’une conférence. Des cercles de juristes, comme #Justitia, le collectif d’avocats de l’#Institut_Thomas_More, qui propose d’offrir « une réponse juridique aux nouvelles intolérances » ou le #Cercle_Droit_et_Liberté, qui prétend lutter contre le « #politiquement_correct » de l’Université et du monde juridique, sont également cités. Sans oublier, les enjeux migratoires et sécuritaires, via le #Centre_de_Réflexion_sur_la_Sécurité_intérieure (#CRSI), présidé par l’avocat connu des réseaux de droite dure #Thibault_de_Montbrial. Présents également, la marque #Terre_de_France, chouchou des influenceurs #identitaires ; #Eclats_de_femme, l’association fondée par #Claire_Geronimi, victime de viol par un homme visé par une OQTF en 2023, depuis proche du collectif identitaire #Némésis (elle vient d’être nommée vice-présidente de l’UDR, le parti d’Eric Ciotti, ce dimanche 9 février), ou encore l’association #Léa, en croisade contre le « #racisme_anti-Blanc ». Idem pour le mensuel « #l'Incorrect » - lancé en 2017 par des proches de #Marion_Maréchal - ou #Les_Films_à_l'arrache, une chaîne Youtube humoristique moquant - entre autres - l’antiracisme et le féminisme...

Objectifs politiques

Au-delà de ces combats marqués à l’extrême droite, Périclès a également investi dans le combat contre le « #wokisme_à_la_fac », via l’#Observatoire_du_décolonialisme, ainsi que le champ de la #laïcité au travers de #Défense_des_serviteurs_de_la_République, dont le comité d’honneur compte #David_Lisnard, le maire Les Républicains de Cannes et #Astrid_Panosyan-Bouvet, l’actuelle ministre du Travail et de l’Emploi - laquelle ignorait le lien avec Stérin, nous assure son cabinet. D’autres structures présentées par le site de Périclès font plus directement référence à l’objectif politique du projet. C’est le cas de #Data_Realis_Conseil, une société spécialisée dans la #cartographie_électorale rappelle la « #Lettre », ou de l’#Institut_de_Formation_Politique (#IFP), qui ambitionne de doter les militants de toutes les droites du bagage nécessaire pour garnir les rangs des formations politiques, des Républicains aux RN. En bonne place, enfin, #Politicae, l’école de formation au mandat de maire, destinée à faire élire « le maximum de candidats pour les prochaines élections municipales », que Stérin a confié à #Antoine_Valentin, édile LR de Haute-Savoie et candidat d’#Eric_Ciotti lors des dernières législatives. Auprès du « Nouvel Obs », ce dernier ne souhaite pas communiquer le montant du financement consenti par son mécène mais indique que l’effort financier pourrait atteindre « plusieurs centaines de milliers d’euros », d’ici au scrutin de 2026.

Des projets plus discrets

Cette liste pourrait, selon nos informations, ne constituer que la partie émergée de l’iceberg Stérin. Les sites internets de plusieurs structures citées plus haut semblent avoir été montés de toutes pièces et sur le même modèle... Surtout, la plupart de ces initiatives n’auraient en réalité reçu que de maigres sommes. Moins de 5 000 euros par exemple pour l’association #Les_Eveilleurs, proche de #La_Manif_pour_Tous, à l’occasion d’un peu rentable concert de #Jean-Pax_Méfret, chanteur des nostalgiques de l’Algérie française. Idem au #Cérif (#Centre_européen_de_Recherche_et_d'Information_sur_le_Frérisme), où la chercheuse au CNRS #Florence_Bergeaud-Blackler jure ne pas avoir touché plus de 10 000 euros. Très loin des 10 millions d’euros que Périclès claironne avoir investi au total en 2024. De quoi nourrir les soupçons sur la réalité de ce montant : est-elle artificiellement gonflée ? Ou, plus probable, l’essentiel de cet argent passe-t-il dans des projets tenus secrets ?

« Nous nous gardons le droit d’être discrets sur nos investissements », élude #Arnaud_Rérolle, président de Périclès et ancien du #Fonds_du_Bien_Commun, la branche philanthropique des activités de Pierre-Edouard Stérin. Un paravent caritatif - Stérin y finançait aussi des associations au diapason de ses idées réactionnaires - dont est également issu #Thibault_Cambournac, le nouveau « responsable stratégie » de Périclès. L’équipe compte aussi dans ses rangs #Marguerite_Frison-Roche, ancienne petite main de la campagne présidentielle d’Eric Zemmour. Quant au « senior advisor » de Périclès, #Philippe_de_Gestas, c’est l’ancien secrétaire général du #Mouvement_Conservateur, allié à #Reconquête. Pour 2025, le #budget de Périclès est annoncé autour des 20 millions d’euros. L’achat ou la création d’un institut de sondage fait déjà figure d’objectif prioritaire.

Ethical Source: Open Source, Evolved
▻https://ethicalsource.dev

« Social Good, Source Available.

Christine Peterson coined the term ‹open source› in 1998.

Coalescing around the ideal of software freedom, over the past 20 years the open source community has come to thrive, enjoying wild success and permanently changing the technology landscape. But the world has also changed in the past two decades. It’s time for open source to evolve to meet the magnitude and complexity of today’s social, political and technological challenges.

Today, the same open source software that enriches the commons and powers innovation also plays a critical role in mass surveillance, anti-immigrant violence, protester suppression, racist policing, the deployment of cruel and inhumane weapons, and other human rights abuses all over the world.

We want to do something about this misuse of our software. But as developers we don’t seem to have any recourse, no way to prevent our work from being used to harm others.

We want to change that.
We are creating ways to empower developers, giving us the freedom and agency to ensure that our work is being used for social good and in service of human rights.

We are building tools to enforce fair, ethical, and community-minded terms for those who benefit from or are affected by our work.

We are united in our conviction that software freedom must always be in service of human freedom.

We are the Ethical Source Movement. »

The Hippocratic License 2.1 — An Ethical License for Open Source Projects
►https://firstdonoharm.dev

« For too long, we as software developers have divorced ourselves from the consequences of the code that we write. We have told ourselves that development is a pure and abstract pursuit, and have spent our careers writing programs with the goals of clarity, conciseness, readability, performance, and elegance.

But we are starting to realize that the software that we create has a real and lasting impact on the world in which we live.

Politics and software are so tangled that they cannot be reasonably separated. […]

Introducing the Hippocratic License: an Ethical Source license that specifically prohibits the use of software to violate universal standards of human rights, and embodying the principles of Ethical Source Software. »

The data loss rates across industries put pressure on companies to rethink their #security measures: the current methods appear to be simply untenable.

The worrying thing is they are succeedingPhoto by Pedro Lastra on UnsplashLast night, I was talking to a friend who was trying to persuade me to switch my online shopping back to the local offline merchants. He feels that if we don’t, we will end up helping the Amazons and Flipkarts, which are non-Indian business entities, to put more and more small Indian businesses out of business. Once that happens, these big businesses will become monopolies or duopolies and we will be at their mercy, be it in terms of price or choice or availability of things or whatever.Oddly enough, I have been advocating a boycott of Amazon for the same reasons, as well as Amazon’s lack of #ethics, which is another story.

Over the past months, I have given much thought to ‘bad’ technology and how to stop being so reliant on it. What you consider ‘bad’ is hard to define, and a personal issue, but it could include everything from clearly problematic software like malware, cracking software, keyloggers, and intentionally biased AIs. This software is more obvious, and easier to opt out of using or supporting. The next level down becomes more personal. If you have issues with models that Aral Balkan terms, “Surveillance Capitalism”, or the adage of, “If there is no product, you are the product,” then maybe you avoid products and services from Google or Facebook. Their products are often harder to avoid, but with a little research, only slightly harder to know if they use practices that you disagree with.The next (...)
