	The public scandal of the Dreyfus Affair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Contrary to their expectation and to that of the public the Criminal Court admitted the plea on the formal ground that the complaint should have been lodged by the court martial which had been slandered, and not by the minister of war.
		The chief spokesman of this group was Godfrey Cavaignac, descended from a former candidate for the presidency of the republic, and himself suspected of a similar ambition.
		Brisson remained completely unacquainted with the "affaire"; but his minister of war was Godfrey Cavaignac, who would be of use to him as a security with regard to the Nationalists, and leave him full power on this delicate question.

	First, it is necessary to draw distinctions between the two periods of the Dreyfus Affair
		Eventually, the Dreyfus Affair would serve to discredit, at the very least, the Army, the Church, and anti-Semitism, and there would be an especially blatant shift of power to the left.
		Dreyfus, with his gifted military capabilities thought that they would best serve him in terms of upward mobility, and when he would eventually be arrested for treason, this lack of sympathy among his superiors would most definitely cost him.
		The very nature of the Dreyfus Affair would be centered around public opinion, and it was no accident that rural and poor areas lacking press influence due to limitations in circulation, would throughout the entire process be immune from the hysteria the press would often times incite.

		It was, however, only the beginning of what would become known as the Dreyfus affair, a shocking miscarriage of justice that preoccupied, bitterly divided, and nearly immobilized the army and government of France for the next 12 years.
		Handwriting on a report Dreyfus had filed the previous year, it was next discovered, bore a superficial resemblance to that of the bordereau.
		A public trial was demanded since, as another newspaper claimed, one in private would "only serve to prolong the scandal." But when Dreyfus appeared before the seven military judges of a court martial on December 19, the public was excluded at the first defense mention of "the sole piece of evidence," the bordereau.

		Dreyfus had no links whatsoever with an intercepted "list" or "bordereau", of French military documents which was later to be addressed to the German military attaché in Paris, Colonel Maximilian Von Schwartzkoppen, in the fall of 1894.
		Captain Dreyfus' Alsatian connection, artillery training and the lame charge that the handwriting on the "bordereau" -- although interpreted at the time as probably disguised -- was likely to be his, led to his arrest.
		Alfred Dreyfus was rushed to judgment and unjustly condemned because War Minister General Mercier had believed the falsehoods concocted by Sandherr and Henry, and because some of the graphology experts had inaccurately concluded that the author of the "borderau" was Captain Dreyfus.

		Dreyfus was in a position, or at least almost so, to have been the sender, and he seemed just the right type of quiet, unsociable, stiff, cold, generally disliked person to be capable of the dastardly deed.
		The eventual exoneration of Dreyfus, to take a novel approach, might be seen as a sign of the first tiny glimmering of Jewish media power in the West, but they were as yet too weak to have pulled it off without truth, and certain key, brave adherents to truth on their side.
		The Dreyfus Affair is also duly famous for the role played in working for justice for the falsely convicted man by France's famous intellectual class.

		Publicity usually takes money, and Dreyfus’ case emerged from its initial first couple of years of obscurity not because of any organized Jewish effort, but because the Dreyfus family had money, and the dedicated older brother, Mathieu, was determined to spend as much as it took to get justice for Alfred.
		The Dreyfus family was from Alsace, and though they were culturally French right to the bone, their textile factory still operated there even though the region had become a part of Germany as a result of the humiliating defeat in the Franco-Prussian War.
		Dreyfus’ strong French patriotism, which was a major motivation for his choosing the military career, was for others, not the least of whom were fellow Jews, just another good reason to suspect him.

		London's point of view was exemplified by the publication in 1881 by James Rothschild of French sociologist Gustave Le Bon's polemics against "assimilation" in the colonies.
		In the very early stages of what was to become the Dreyfus Affair, before anything had been made public, Hanotaux intervened in a secret Council of Ministers meeting called by the Minister of War to brief the Cabinet on what purported to be a shocking spy scandal.
		As everyone now knows, the innocent Captain Dreyfus was to be made the scapegoat in this affair: everything from forgeries, with-holding of exculpatory evidence and rocket-docket style trials were going to be used to convict a man who had not the slightest connection to the spying incident in question.
