Emmanuel Macron is the new President of France. He won 65% of the votes. His victory ought to give rise to some very sober reflections about the rise of a ‘new democracy’, of new politics in the West.
During the campaign between Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron some observers have pointed out that this was the confrontation between nationalists and globalists. The result is clear: the globalists won.
M Macron was, as has been pointed out, an ‘unknown’. We here in the UK first heard of him when, as French Finance Minister, he added to the ‘climate of fear’ by threatening that, should we vote to Leave, France could scrap the ‘Le Touquet agreement’, sending all Calais Jungle dwellers to Britain, while ‘rolling out the red carpet’ for bankers (see here).
But France being France, there’s more to it. There are elections for the French Parliament next month, and commentators earlier this year kept pointing out (see e.g. here) that a win for Marine Le Pen wouldn’t be so bad because her party had only two representatives. M Macron of course doesn’t even have a party, just a ‘movement’. The next few weeks will be very interesting for ‘France watchers’ – after all, a President does need some sort of power base in parliament, no?
So, what does this victory mean for us?
It means, for starters, that the Brexit negotiations have become even more difficult, not just because of the usual French intransigence, but because the globalists, who ‘fabricated’ M Macron and who are, as we all know, utterly anti-Brexit, have now good cause to regard themselves as winners who have the power to manipulate the will of a whole nation. More on that below.
We only need to look at the rise and rise of M Macron, supported by all-out propaganda in the MSM. Even the strange incidence of ‘leaked documents’ just a couple of days before the election looked to me as fabricated, as an attempt to have a ready-made argument should he not win: the Russians did it … I doubt if we will now hear more of that sort of accusation.
We can also ponder the amazing fact that such an unknown was able to create a ‘movement’ out of thin air, and run such a well-financed campaign. We UKIPpers know only too well how much such a campaign really costs, especially when one doesn’t have a large party apparatus as support!
What does this tell us?
It tells us that yes, using social media can work – provided certain International Banks are prepared to give behind-the-scenes support, organising and paying for the boots-on-the-grounds, launching media campaigns, utilising the MSM who are anyway establishment mouthpieces and who will never report without bias. Who pays the piper … isn’t it!
It tells us that lovely slogans, spread across the MSM, are easily swallowed provided they are factually meaningless, because people don’t have the time to analyse. Just look at this phrase:
“Addressing the nation, a sober Mr Macron immediately reached across the divide to Le Pen voters, saying he heard the “anger, anxiety and doubts” that many had expressed.” (Telegraph)
The cynic in me says: yes, he ‘hears’ this – but will he do anything about it? Will he do anything about the rise and rise of islam in France? Will he do anything about the illegal immigrants in Calais, in Paris? I doubt it.
We must accept that the globalists and the EU won this election. It was not about French politics. It was about keeping the ‘populists’ out, by all and any means. Just imagine what the international MSM would have said had Marine Le Pen ‘rebranded’ the FN and named her party ‘En Marche’, which means ‘on the move’. They would have immediately pointed out that this is fatally close to fascist slogans. But when international banks support it, it’s of course not extreme ultra right-wing populism, of course not!
The cynic in me says: see, there’s horrible populism and there’s the right sort of populism, as exemplified by clean and sober M Macron, and it’s the globalists who decide which is which. We the people don’t need to think about it – they think for us.
What is so fascinating in this victory is that usually, in times of danger, people will vote conservative. The elections in one of the German federal states yesterday gave, for example, the victory to Ms Merkel’s party. We can assume therefore that Germany will again elect Ms Merkel this September. We know that here in the UK, Ms May will romp home on June 8th with an unassailable majority.
But – M Macron, formerly belonging to M Hollande’s socialist party, is not a conservative. That should tell us that these labels are now irrelevant. It does not matter to the globalists if someone is ’socialist’ or ‘conservative’, as long as they toe the line the globalists prescribe. That line, here, is to keep ‘The Project” going – the EU, the United States of Europe. M Macron, their President, will do just that, as his victory speech shows:
“I will defend Europe; it is our civilisation which is at stake…I will work to rebuild ties between Europe and its citizens.” (Telegraph)
The cynic in me says: isn’t it astounding that a newly elected President of France will ‘defend Europe’, but not France! But then again, we do know, do we not, that the EU has its roots in Vichy France, and that these roots can be traced back to the Napoleonic Empire.
Showing that M Macron is indeed the new ‘President of the EU’, is this:
“Later Mr Macron took the stage to the strains of Beethoven’s Ode to Joy, the European Union anthem, in the courtyard of the Louvre museum.” (Telegraph)
The ‘Marseillaise’, it would seem, is history.
Nationalism – a dirty word.
Patriotism – a dirty word.
Globalism is what it is now all about – globalism for the New Elite, the new Feudal Overlords, and serfdom for us peasants.
Welcome to the new era of globalist feudalism!

I felt down about it all this morning. But the reality is that there is nothing to be depressed about. The FN marches on with the youth vote growing. Macron was fuelled by older voters.

Stout, isn’t Le Pen very much on the left, economically?
The French won’t support radical economic change au moment as Macron will find out. Hence stagnation. Maybe in five years. So Marine rightly focuses on immigration, sovereignty and so on.

Yes she is. Her protectionist stance is almost identical to Mélenchon’s. Only Fillon had sensible economic policies and we saw what the deep state did to him!
So the Bilderberg boy won. Blair, Obama, Macron, how long before Umanna makes it in the UK? (Assuming the UK still exists.)
What an insult to France to drop the Marseillaise in favour of the EU anthem, but it’s all of a piece with other Macron insults such as claiming that here is no French culture or art worth speaking of.
And they’ve elected this toe-rag as the President of France because they were afraid of ‘too much change’! Too many of the French are still the cowards their forebears were when they failed to stop the Germans invading, then collaborated with them in the Vichy government.
How to win friends and influence people, Panmelia! Since we in the UK can’t get anything like the NF’s level of support, that must make us even more cowardly.
Yes we are – but not in any way to be compared with trying to stop German invaders in this centenary of the Great War, in which the French Army and people gave their all.
Let’s try and be generous where we can, please.
British and Commonwealth forces surrendered in Singapore to a numerically smaller army of Japanese invaders. Not sure we can lecture anyone on `cowardice’.
I share your dismay over Macron but 11 million French voted for Marine. They would seem less cowardly than the British actually.
Agreed, Stout. Many Brits are in thrall to political correctness multi-culti blah blah – even UKIP Leadership – The 11 million are more in number than those UKIPpers who want the voice of Anne Marie to be heard at the top of UKIP, so that we can rally behind her, but we are here, and we want, and intend to be heard! Only that way can we aspire to fight the Globalist agenda.
The populist tide has not gone out – UKIP haven’t been obliterated either. We all know Macron is a globalist puppet and we all know that things in France will not improve, in fact the very opposite will happen. Mrs May needs to champion the British people who have lent her their votes. She’d be extremely stupid to renege on her promises to the British people.
Indeed – but she’d sugar-coat a super-soft Brexit with words like ‘she did all she could, sorry’, and thanks to the MSM, we’d all have to swallow that. The next elections will now be in 2022, well after the official Brexit. And we all know, do we not, that Ms May, as Home secretary, gave good speeches but did nothing dos top the flood of immigrants, legal or illegal. She has form.
LibLabCon got us into the EU. LibLabCon want us to stay in the EU. Not doing a bad job, are they.
“The EU has its roots in Vichy France”? That’s funny Viv, one of Nigel’s stated reasons for not associating with the NF is that they have their roots in Vichy France. One of those statements can’t be right.
I don’t like the EU any more than you do but it’s simply no good indulging in Breitbartian comments comme ca – or trying to escape the truth that Nigel’s main reason for disdaining the NF is that he’s a Thatcherite and they’re not.
Nigel is a brilliant politician – a historian he is not.
A recent biography of Himmler quoted contemporary letters from Vichy French politicians to Himmler, saying that the time had now come to have a ‘united Europe’ under Hitler’s leadership. Not all of those politicians were old and died, many transferred seamlessly into post-war French politics. That is a fact, not a ‘Breitbartian comment’.
The EU did not start with the signing of the Lisbon Treaties, Mr Barroso and Mr Junckers.
That’s right. The Euro was a design idea of Hitler’s government matter of fact.
And Hitler loved animals and banned hunting. So what, exactly?
Yes Mike, the Nazis wanted a united Europe all right – but that doesn’t mean the EU came out of Vichy.
We really do have to be scrupulously accurate and logical in what we all say if we are to be taken seriously.
Funny how the sort of Europe the Vichyites wanted is the one we’ve got then!
In the great upheaval of wartime and post-war France all sorts of things were going on, but it is not true as a generalisation that the French founders of the EU were Vichy sympathisers, Viv. To maintain they were is a Breitbartian comment and does no favours for our credibility.
Much more importantly, Nigel was also of course quite wrong. If he was such a good policitian he wouldn’t have made enemies of the NF – and might actually have won an election or two.
Nazis and Fascists founded the EU. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nf5KeC4dAs.
TFT
There isn’t much point in ‘free thinking’ if it’s based on false syllogisms.
Just because the EU includes Germany and various other wartime Nazi and Fascist states does NOT mean the EU “was founded by Nazis and Fascists”.
This sort of absurd claim only undermines our credibility. Most reasonable people will regard the following as by far the more convincing and relevant truth:
http://www.euro-sceptic.org/founding-fathers-of-the-eu.html
Please do not undermine the efforts of those in UKIP who struggle hard for our Party and our country.
Another dark day for freedom. UKIP must keep the flame of independence alive.
Exactly. Macron is now working against the tide not making it.
The French never learn and they are going to get what they deserve. On the other hand they always seem to (in their eyes) turn defeat into victory. Macron is of course hobbled before he even begins – no party, no representatives in the Assembly and almost 50% of the population against his principles. The French will take to the streets.
The answer, Flyer? Get working people on our side, and win the argument with our own Thatcherites.

This terrible result proves that the French really are sleep walking their way into a total disaster,The Islamification of France continues,click the link,the title it is so apt:
EMANUEL MACRON,USEFUL IDIOT OF ISLAMISM.
Geoff.Elliott,UKIP RCT Branch,Pontypridd.
GCE, the islamics must be celebrating Macron’s victory in non-alcoholic wine (available via fountains in allah’s paradise) after their Useful Infidel Idiot got elected, opening many doors to power for Europe’s ideological enemies.
Macron is another Tony Blair, not a drop of patriotic blood or sincerity in his body, mouthing what his audience of the moment wants to hear, shallow, superficial, a host for the parasites of islam to latch on to.
Anyone can see from his expressions what a cocky, self-satisfied, mega-ego he is. Let us hope his downfall comes before he can cause too much damage.
It was a bitter pill to swallow but on the positive side it might increase the chances of a diamond hard Brexit , even May cannot allow herself to be seen to capitulate before the likes of Macron .
One would hope so – but if she and her ‘advisers’ produce enough soft-soap slogans to lull us into a false sense of security and indeed accomplishments, she and her globalist friends will get away with the softest of Brexits. Her statement, congratulating M Macron, does not bode well, see: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/07/french-election-live-marine-le-pen-emmanuel-macron-presidency/.
But then again, I’m a self-confessed cynic …
