After class and the film, we discussed history, film, travels, and food (good and bad) over dinner at a bistro in Montmartre.

World War II, Vichy, and Casablanca
In HIS/GOV 322, we have begun to study France in World War II, a complex and highly charged topic that has introduced us to the collaborationist Vichy regime established by Maréchal Philippe Pétain and the Free French forces led by Charles de Gaulle. We learned that most administrators in the French colonies remained loyal to Vichy before the Allied invasion of November 1942. This seemed the perfect opportunity to screen Casablanca, set in the French colony of Morocco. In the film, Captain Louis Renault, played by Claude Rains, serves as the Vichy prefect of police in Casablanca. Corrupt, cynical, and a self-serving opportunist, Renault collaborates with the Nazis before deciding to join, with Humphrey Bogart's Rick Blaine, the French resistance in Brazzaville.

I have been suffering from (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS) for the last four years and had constant outbreaks and pains. During the first year,I had faith in God that i would be healed someday, and i was taking treatments and meds from my doctor. I was taking accyclovir alongside some ointment. I spent so much on meds but the blisters still return after some months. It was early this year, i was using the Internet to see if i could gather any information to get rid of this virus once and for all, using natural herbs. Then i came across a testimony of a woman who was healed from diabetes and Cancer of the breast by one Herbal Dr.yakubu. I copied the email address of the doctor after her testimony. So I sent a message to Dr.yakubu telling him about my Herpes Virus. he told me not to worry that as long as I will make use of the herbs as directed, with God, I will soon testify. I thought he was bluffing. So we got talking and he asked me some questions. He prepared and sent me some herbs in 70ml bottles and ointment, then he guided me on how to use them. In less than 2 months of usage, i was totally healed. The blisters disappeared and the pains gone too. I went for a test and the result was Negative. I had to use a different hospital and the result was same. Since over nine months now, I am Herpes Free.... Please my advise is this, if you have similar sickness or any other sickness at all, Please do not forget to reach out to Dr.yakubu on : (dr.yakubuherbalhealingclinic@gmail.com). you can also reach the doctor on whatsapp +2348057353647
