The new season of “Presidential Election” has just kicked off, and they are already repeating plot points from the American version.
We have the “centrist” establishment figure taking on the “far-right nationalist”. We had a “leftist firebrand” too, but as usual, he lost on the preliminary rounds after getting just enough mainstream air time to pretend real change was possible.
Blah, blah, blah. Whatever. Macron will “win”, or maybe – maybe – Le Pen will “win”. Either way, there will be no democracy and no real “election”.
Let’s have a little reality check on Emmanuel Macron, shall we?
He is an ex-employee of the
Rothschild investment bank. In 2016 he announced he was running for President as leader of a political party that was less than a year old. He had never even run for office of any kind before, let alone won.
Nevertheless, his “movement” stormed over the established political parties and he won the presidency.
This year, despite Covid and lockdowns and eighteen months of yellow vest protests, he’s still expected to win a second term.
Does any of that really make sense?
2020 saw
the most obviously-rigged US Presidential election since 2000, and there was a decidedly
shady UK election in 2019. We’ve watched Bernie get cheated off the ballot twice in 4 years, and blithely take it on the chin each time.
We are living through year two of an entirely fake pandemic, staged with the cooperation of dozens of national governments, intelligence agencies and multi-lateral organizations.
…do we really think “elections” mean anything at all? That they would leave something like that up to chance?
There is no reason to ever believe any election is genuine.
