Macron is a McKinsey guy/principle. He is now being accused of being a “traitor!” for working on selling off French assets. Very big deal in France. Standard bearer for Globalism there…now going down in flames with the rest of Globalism…What caused this to happen now? The World going DIGITAL…new psycho environment…now what? We live in interesting times indeed…;)

Okay, that French stuff, Mark, pass it by me one more time...:) Well, maybe we'll end up in some ghastly world war, but what is for sure that there will be plenty of entertainment along the way. The Right in France is as incompetent as it is in the US and UK, so I expect the Left will sneak in through the back door and really take the country down. What a world!

Liberal democracy seems to be a type of political inflation--you know the gag about good money and bad money?

This is the political version of the Benny Hill Show. Adding to the French 'folie a plusieurs' is the U.K comedy of errors - the billionaire Sunak leaving DDay commemorations early to do an interview- scroll down for the memes:

Not only that but he had the gall to say he was late because D Day 'over ran' (!)

He also tried to suggest he knows how the working classes feel because he had to go without Sky TV (satellite channels) so his parents could pay his private school fees . ... cue more memes.

Then we have Starmer who for some reason thinks repeating over and over that his dad was a tool maker validates him as a man of the common people instead of the paid up member of the Islington chattering classes we all know him to be. Cue more memes:

Then there's 'frozen Joe' at that event which the U.K Daily Mirror 'bizarre glitch'.

What world is this?

Macron cherche le chaos, et il va le trouver: Macron is provoking chaos and is getting it. Soon a general emergency or war footing? The cheshire cat in the Kremlin is wearing a wide grin!

I'm not sure he's that clever, ML. He may get chaos, but he won't be able to control it.

True, in pure Machiavellian terms, Microbe is no match for Mitterrand! But it would be incredible if Microbe actually succeeded in bringing the “far right” to power.

New York Democrat who sharply criticizes Israel faces ouster threat

Hillary Clinton stuns Democrats by endorsing George Latimer for Jamaal Bowman's congressional seat

Just like Max Blumenthal said yesterday. Hillary only comes out of her hole to do the bidding of The Israel Lobby.

I'll say this again. Trump walking down the elevator at TT in 2016 and the UK Brexit vote triggered some terrible kind of madness within the deep state.
