More Vichy-ssoise, France?

I am wondering whether France will ever stand up
to the globalisation that is being crushed
elsewhere in the world.
I would equate the globalist elite, like every
recent government, including Prez Hollande,
with the Vichy government under the Nazis.

This is what gave the French the unfavourable
monicker of the 90s as "cheese-eating surrender
monkeys." There is a certain pussy-hat attitude
that is necessary to accept globalisation at this
point. Finally, that has become clear, despite
every media outlet screaming at us all not to
desert our traditional leaders - politicians and
media.
Sorry, we have twitter and we're out of here.

It just so happens that a favourite soup in
France is called Vichyssoise. Soup. Quagmire.
Surrendering to the Ratatoille Rats of
globalisation.

 

Vichyssoise & ladle metaphors explained.

Varoufakis' 25 theses nailed on the door of the ECB

This is going to be the place where I stage
a deathmatch between the Yanis and the ECB.
Only one shall be left standing. This is a
watershed moment in EU history despite the
plans of the Troika to keep Greece under
water for another 3 to 6 to 60 months with
their crafty lies and promises.

I don't know that much about the state of
Catholicism in the 16th century, but what
I do know is that it was ripe for a fall.

Well, so is the European Union, especially
if you grab it by its currency. There is
so much hypocrisy being mouthed by the troika
jailers that we need a new Martin Luther.

Along comes Yanis Varoufakis, fresh from his
battles as Econ minister in Greece. I tend
to believe that fame turns him on, but he
is doing much that is right. He wants to
start a pan-European party DIEM-25 to
bring together voters from all countries to
stave off the destruction of the EU at the
hands of its present sheltered blinkered
ruling classes, in the Louis Seize chairs.

Well, he's in the right country:

Macron Economics and they called him Macroni

This is a continuation of the French election play-by-play.
I don't usually care about France, but it is the second
battleground this year, after the Dutch election. Wilders,
the wild and crazy guy, is set to have the biggest party
in Holland. Holland veers to the far right. and Wilders
is literally crazy, in my books. I wish it wasn't so, cuz
the populist right has much that is right for these days.

Anyway, back to France. This is a far more complex
case. It has a two stage presidential election. This is
specifically designed to keep France from changing
in any drastic way. The people who are the top two
in the first election face off for the prize. In this case,
everybody is saying that Le Pen, the far right
candidate will make it to the second round. But
because of the system and because of France's still
not wanting a "fascist" as their president, whoever
faces off against Le Pen is supposed to win, even
if the French have to vote while holding their nose
like some Roccefort cheese is nearby. That's how
it has worked. But, could this be a unique case
where all the other candidates are garbage or
a scam, like Macron, full of lies, money and
bluster? Is this the chance that Le Pen needs
to actually bust through the gates of the political
Bastile?
Let's get the popcorn ready for April.

Another issue is the opposition. A fun bunch, they
are. We have:
Melanchon- a old-fashioned lefty who dresses like
Mao

Ruling Centrist "Socialists"- Elected a quiet radical
(Hamon), as a response to the sell-out Hollande, but
 who is already planning to lose
Center Right UMP- Chose a scary Thatcherite
(Fillion) who has since been trapped, by Sarkozy-
some say, in a corruption scandal where his whole
family were siphoning public money to live high
on the hog.

Some context
All of the old party system is also hampered by rules
about funding for elections. This is the reason why
the entrepreneurial Sarkozy got illegal money and is
now facing a long court case that will result in him
walking away guilty as sin, and free as a bird.
Do you remember the one about Coco Channel
handing Sarko envelopes of money to take out of
the country tax free, prolly to Switzerland?
Feckin Sarko. The embodiment of a sarcastic cynical
view of life and politics. Sarco

Who has take advantage of this political gridlock?
Emmanuel Macron. Now who is this guy?

He went from being a Mergers & Acquisitions guy
at Rothch bank in France, to being the Socialist
(ya. believe it) Economy Minister under Hollande,
the outgoing 4% popularity guy. He quit last August
but because of his connections with THAT family,
he has a lot of rich media types (I'll find them soon)
splashing his blanched face all over their mags and
papers, prepping him for power. Some baggage he
has in the form of misappropriating money, but who
in France has not tried that. Even Le Pen has snagged
300 thousand from the EU, for her party. 

As if by providence, as soon as Fillion fell on his
face, out comes Macron with a splash.
He's a centrist who uses populist language.
the Party En Marche (bland, prog-sounding)
Money
A big crowd in Lyon (from out of nowhere. He JUST started)
how does that happen?
Big anti-EU talk (bullshit)
Mild anti-banking implications (bullshit)
Stealing other Le Pen lines (again lying, to steal
votes and then continue the neoliberal gravy train).
He played the French anthem at the end (hokey, by
French standards, holding his heart like an American)
Let's watch
his gang "En Marche"


Al Jazeera



he's a smooth talker. I'll grant him that. But
so was Sarko.
If the Alt media, growing in power in France,
albeit slowly, gets its fangs into him, he
might not succeed. However, he seems most
likely to come second to Le Pen and would win
in a face-off second vote. But, the tide is
slowly turning to Le Pen. The gap is closing.
and, as we know from Brexit and Trump, maybe the
French pollsters are asking the wrong people.

In that country where the second vote is designed
to leave things exactly as they are, thank you
very much, it might be the time for Le Pen.

But, she has one fatal flaw, and it's not her
pretty daughter, Marion. It's the fact that she
wants France to leave the EU.
She mentioned leaving the Euro as a first
priority. Not bad, but I don't know how it plays
in France. It might get votes. But, to say that
you'll have a referendum to leave the whole EU
seems crazy. Nobody else in the Union is talking
about leaving, except the UK which left by
accident. France still sees itself as the heart
of the EU. Even the Eurodeath idea is not that
popular. According to polls, only Italy has
close to 50% in favour of leaving the Euro,
and all but one party pledging to leave the Euro
in Italy. So, it might work in France.

The Italians may stumble into a populist election
this year as well.

Je me Trumpe

This text will be the place where
I give time to explaining the populist wave
that is washing around the world.

Brexit, Trump, Italian referendum loss

Also, I don't know why it took 3 months
for reasonably intelligent commentators
to realise that Trump probably got the
marginal win because of Twitter. The
Russian Spox said it on the BBC and
now everybody is saying it. Trump is
playing the MSM cuz he doesn't need
them. That doesn't mean that Twitter
followers are fools. Quite the opposite.
They got the memes that Trump wanted
them to, and the MSM was pumping up
lies. Again Wikileaks played a role in
telling voters about the Dems.

So, let's watch out for the fact that the
public has fairly free access to some
truths, and lots of discussion for a
chance to split right from wrong, right in
their hands.
The MSM/government
compact has not only been bypassed,
but it has been revealed in all its
corrupt grandeur. This is not a
conspiracy theory anymore!

Anyway,
In France, there will be elections within
the first six months of this 17th year of
millenium 3. According to the polls
and prognostications of one Prof Mark
Blyth, the Front Nationale's Marine
Le Pen has a good chance of winning
at least the first round. The populist
turn, just like in the UK and US.

Here Blyth is, a day after the US election!
On this video: at 42:00, the future of the EU
-nobody accepts ECB and technocrats running
the EU anymore. Enter the populists.
-At 13:00-19:00 Blyth will blow your mind.
He had predicted Brexit and Trump (discussing
that in a later text) and how Renzi's referendum
would fail (it did) AND then he mentions
how popular Le Pen is, in polls.


with subtitles! cuz of his Scots English accent.

Then, he goes into the macro-economic and political
systems of the past 30 years and the first 30 years
after the war. How this last period is crashing now
because the middle class can see they'd been lied
to. Controlling inflation only matters to bankers
and neoliberals. 

Also, check 35:00 , hear how politicians were (past tense)
trying  to make oligarchic plutocrats richer with
TPP TTIP and CETA. Those arselickers will be out of
business soon.
[BTW Blyth goes mental at 43:00 and presents the preposterous
idea of Putin starting a war for HIS own reasons.]
I was shocked to hear him say that. With the armies of
30 nations doing exercises on his doorstep, Putin is
going to magic up a war?

NOW, I wrote "je me trumpe" because in French
je me trompe means I made a mistake. I wonder if
France is going to join the populist wave and actually
vote in the Far Right to the Elysee palace. Maybe.
It would be a mistake for France to miss the boat
back to sensible economics (if there is such a thing):

1 Francois Fillion was chosen as the center-right
presidential candidate. Now, it was just revealed
that Fillion was paying his wife a salary (bad enough)
for a non-existent job (disaster). Otherwise, surprisingly,
Fillion's neo-Thatcherite scary ideas would have
easily won the day, in the second round, after Le Pen
wins the first round. (C-left and C-right voters will
likely group together to block Le Pen's win.) Now, it's
unsure whether Fillion is a dead duck in the eyes of
French voters. One opponent weakened.
2 Center-left socialists are waiting for their second
round to choose the guy who will lose the election
because his predecessor, Hollande, was a do-
nothing technocrat. Another weak opponent.
3 The French are realising that their political
dog and pony show is being run out of Berlin,
DIRECTLY! (Germans knew the Euro would
come to this.)
Their 2016 labour law came from Germany, and
was rammed (legally) through parliament, without
debate. People were in the streets for 2 months.
4 Trump, after a few populist announcements has
started getting nasty with the EPA and with Muslim
migrants. French people already view Trump as a
moron. How will this reflect on Le Pen? It might not
help. She may lose ground daily, by being associated
with Trump. Far right losing ground?

So, the second round is up in the air. Le Pen will win
if the EU keeps visibly fucking around with every-
body's meagre existence. By EU, I mean the unelected
technocrats- the Corrupt Juncker; luckily for them,
Schultz is gone; the ECB; Schaueble and Merkel
(they were elected in Germany only, but essentially
run the EU).
Le Pen is less likely to win if Trump becomes an
even-worse pariah in the eyes of French voters. But
if Hollande or the EU try to embarrass Trump, it
will actually help Le Pen.

As it stands, Hollande is starting to shoot his mouth off,
giving Le Pen the edge. 

Trump is a mobile black swan factory

You know you're the boss when your every
word rocks the financial markets.

That is what Trump is doing. People like
hedge funds are throwing up their arms
wondering what he'll do next.

That is a perfect context for a black swan
to waltz right up and beak the banks on the
 butt. It would give us the complete
financial meltdown and reset that we so
richly deserve.


As I had mentioned before, the modus of
everybody in the financial sector and govern
ment were focused on unblocking any
liquidity logjam with plenty of fake
"future money" (to be paid by our
grandkids).

And it was working perfectly. All calls
for the Crash #2 were met with more fake
money.

The QE spigot, in true Ponzi style, was
pumping up all asset classes into a bubble
because this condition looks like good
economic times to the illiterates at the
MSM.

So it was all "buy the feckin dip."

[a message could not be simpler]

Even I know that the markets have gone
up for over 2 years now, ceaselessly.
From the 2014 date of this video to
now you could have doubled your money.
Of course, sensible people were worried
of hitting the top and riding the losses
down to zero.

No such problem. Buy the feckin dip.
Even an idiot could have borrowed
money to gamble, and won!
It's like this cartoon knew that the
US gov would backstop all this
fin de siecle suicidal pact pyramid
scheme.

Now Trump risks torpedoing all this
by accident.

The markets have been hanging on his
every word. Let's see what the markets
have been doing since Trump was elected:


CNN:

1-Trump sinks drug stocks
He plans to make drugs cheaper for Medicare.

2 Wall Street has kicked off the Trump presidency with a bounce.

The Dow jumped about 95 points on Friday following the swearing in of Donald Trump as America's 45th president.

During the inaugural address, the new president promised to follow through on his campaign pledge to protect American jobs.

"We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies and destroying our jobs," Trump said.

He emphasized that his administration will follow two simple rules: "Buy American and hire American."

Trump sought to bring the country together following a turbulent election.

"When America is united, America is totally unstoppable," Trump said.

Related: Trump market rally on hold, but may not be over

Wall Street has been on an upswing ever since Trump's historic upset of Hillary Clinton, though the euphoria known as the "Trump rally" has waned in recent weeks.

After an overnight selloff on election night, the stock market welcomed Trump with a bang as the Dow soared 257 points the day after the election. Eventually, the Dow would surge more than 1,400 points between the election and the end of the year.

All told, the U.S. market has gained $1.4 trillion in value since the election, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices.

Blyth opens the Dore to Eurodeath

This will soon be an analysis of a visit by
Prof Mark Blyth, guru of Western disintegration,
to the Jimmy Dore show.

I think Blyth is the man I follow for ideas on
the EU and the populist revolution.
He's a good narrator, if you can handle the
Glasgow Weegie accent. I have a schooling
in Weegie from an early age.

Jimmy Dore is a progressive US comic
who is podcasting and so on. Both
acidic funny and no-bullshit approach is
awesome.
This is habit-forming.
These are fairly recent i.e. this month

It is a very interesting four part show.
I don't know what order they're in, cuz
they don't say. Still, it's good, approachable
stuff.

The Union of German Soviet Ordo-Liberal Republics

This is the announcement of the obvious
news that the EU has become what the
USSR could have only hoped to have been,
if it had been more paranoid.


[last laugh, anyone?]

A number of well-chosen words from the US
were enough to distract the EU from its
hatred and fear of Putin, to its extra-ordinary
hatred and fear of Donald Trump and his
erstwhile representative in the EU, Malloch.

Observe

[Verhofstadt sees his future in the Politburo vanishing
over the Urals, or was that Urinals? Fact check please]

Ted Malloch's wonderful conversation with
Afshin Rattansi hovered over the controversy
about the new broom in town. It's clear from
the first few questions. The EU has realised
that the US will not backstop their bullshit
any longer.



Malloch and Trump have only hinted at
the number of problems that they will try
to solve, like the wimpy Euro currency.

Rubbing salt in the wounds of Brexit.

Destroying the USSR, which looks suspiciously
like the EU.

It looks like the EU has been the bully
in its own block for a long time, enforcing
torture on smaller groups, like Ireland
and Greece. It has been able to label
white as black, and now all of a sudden,
reality has hit the EU like a double-decker
bus.

A bully from around the way has said
that the EU's shit stinks, and the EU has
become well shaken.

The Soros of the Birds

Birds, as women are called, derogatorily, in the UK
were seen to march to Washington to confront Trump.
By all signs, there were a lot of human-size, as opposed
to life-sized, vaginas wandering around.

If they were protesting Trump's groping,
they certainly groped themselves a lot, as above.
Madonna, who doesn't need much of an excuse,
kept her hands up where we could see them.
Though she did consider blowing shit up,
particularly a building with the acronym WH.
Those are some strong feelings.

As it turns out, 400 or so
women's groups were involved in the march. I wonder
how many of them are required to change a light
bulb. That's a lot of groups, in other words.
It turns out that Soros is behind about 50 of them.
Planes were chartered.

Is it a stretch to think that those 50 groups grabbed
some famous women (Madonna, Scarlet, Cher, etc
and Gloria Steinem who was a spy for the Agency
while mouthing feminazi platitudes to her fans.)
and did this not for any other reason than to show
how Soros can control things?

I had an excel file on this somewhere. The article by
Liberty blitzkrieg below has a link, or the zerohedge
one.

Soros has been credited with a lot of dangerous
protests, including violent ones, like Ukraine.
He and the US have been behind the colour
revolutions that usually usher in puppet regimes
for the US, cultural destruction leading to anomie.
That kind of shit makes Soros smile cuz it makes
him richer. Now it appears that he is turning his
colours on the US.

Meanwhile, in the eternal battle over women's
bodies, that will soon involve Trump, Breitbart
seems to be concerned with abortion. It's not
a man's business to boss women around on that
issue.

Protest in the Era of Trump
Michael Krieger | Posted Monday Jan 23, 2017 at 12:25 pm

The best way to control the opposition is to lead it.

I am of the strong belief that any administration which comes into power in the current environment of nearly unrestrained executive authority, a lawless and sprawling intelligence agency complex, and a debt-driven, rent-seeking rewarding fraud economy should be assumed to represent a serious threat to the civil liberties and remaining freedoms of the American public. This would’ve been true under Hillary, and it’s also true under Trump.

Personally, I think Trump will be reacting to events outside of his control more than he will be controlling his own destiny given the extremely precarious point we are in during this geopolitical, cultural and economic cycle. This is a very dangerous period, and it will likely only get more dangerous as the years unfold. Not because of Trump, but because of the circumstances we have allowed ourselves to be boxed into as a people. As such, I fully understand and appreciate the role of non-violent protest and civil disobedience in the Trump era, just like I understood it and advocated for it during Obama’s transgressions.

Trump’s administration got off to a serious bang with the Women’s March over the weekend, which were unquestionably large events. While I think protest is important, and I don’t want to minimize the achievement of getting that many people out in the streets, there were many aspects of it that left a very foul taste in my mouth. Let’s start off with some of the people actively involved.

From the LA Times:

The Women’s March on Washington may have been filled with celebrities, singers and all sorts of Hollywood A-listers, but it was longtime feminist and writer Gloria Steinem who really revved up the crowd.

Upon exiting the Women’s March after her keynote speech in which she emphasized that protest means more than hitting the “send” button, a crowd formed around Steinem. Mothers rushed up to introduce their daughters to her; protesters held out their signs for her autograph.

Gloria Steinem, feminist icon and CIA-operative in the 1950’s and 60’s. Oh, you didn’t know that?

From The Chicago Tribune:

CIA agents are tight-lipped, but Steinem spoke openly about her relationship to “The Agency” in the 1950s and ‘60s after a magazine revealed her employment by a CIA front organization, the Independent Research Service.

While popularly pilloried because of her paymaster, Steinem defended the CIA relationship, saying: “In my experience The Agency was completely different from its image; it was liberal, nonviolent and honorable.”

Wait, what? The CIA was headed up by one of America’s most notorious psychopaths during that time, Allen Dulles. She must be aware of this fact. This is an interesting person for women to hold up as a role model, and to help lead the “resistance.”

One of the many nefarious things the CIA was up to during this time period was mind control program MK Ultra.

Project MKUltra – sometimes referred to as the CIA’s mind control program – is the code name given to a program of experiments on human subjects, at times illegal, designed and undertaken by the United States Central Intelligence Agency. Experiments on humans were intended to identify and develop drugs and procedures to be used in interrogations and torture, in order to weaken the individual to force confessions through mind control. Organized through the Scientific Intelligence Division of the CIA, the project coordinated with the Special Operations Division of the U.S. Army’s Chemical Corps.

The operation began in the early 1950s, was officially sanctioned in 1953, was reduced in scope in 1964, further curtailed in 1967, and officially halted in 1973. The program engaged in many illegal activities, including the use of unwitting U.S. and Canadian citizens as its test subjects, which led to controversy regarding its legitimacy. MKUltra used numerous methodologies to manipulate people’s mental states and alter brain functions, including the surreptitious administration of drugs (especially LSD) and other chemicals, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as other forms of psychological torture.

How liberal.

For more on the CIA at that time, see: How America’s Modern Shadow Government Can Be Traced Back to One Very Evil Man – Allen Dulles

But it gets worse. Steinem was a key factor in the election of Donald Trump by irrationally supporting Hillary Clinton and belittling Sanders supporters with some very un-feminist type commentary. In case you forget about this episode back in February, Desperate for Hillary – Feminist Icon Gloria Steinem Claims Young Women Support Sanders to Attract Boys. The only revolution this woman is going to lead is one that slams straight into a brick wall.

Naturally, Gloria wasn’t the only icon of female power to attend. The, always painfully desperate for attention and continued relevance, Madonna was also celebrated. Here’s some of what she had to say, courtesy of USA Today:

NEW YORK (AP) — Madonna is defending her fiery, expletive-laden speech at the Women’s March, saying her words were “taken wildly out of context.”

The singer said at the Washington, D.C., march Saturday that she had at times been angry after the election and had thought “an awful lot about blowing up the White House.”

Power to the imbecile.

Moving along, another red flag about the march were the amount of Democratic lawmakers present and actively protesting. Considering Trump rose to power based on the intense anger from much of the American voting public about how things were going, I find this to be incredibly ironic, and certainly not empowering. As The Hill notes in the article, Lawmakers Join Women’s Marches in DC and Nationwide:

Democratic lawmakers are are marching with women in Washington and across the nation one day after President Trump’s inauguration.

Hundreds of thousands took to the streets of D.C. on Saturday for the Women’s March on Washington, joined by a large contingent of lawmakers.

Other Democrats attended satellite protests in other cities across the country....

Actions, not fake news

I was late to the concept of the incipient
revolution that is Brexit and Trump. I honestly
figured that Brexit would fail. I have since
understood the dynamics of the situation that
Prof Mark Blyth has expressed. Soon to be found
here:


The full-on craziness of the media in its panic
at losing the neo-liberal great dawn of humanity
for the 1% was so palpable.

CNN: it's illegal to read Wikileaks

On Twitter, which is my University of the Internet,

I have often re-tweeted funny jokes on Trump, but

have refused to give time to any "news" about Trump,

especially from the MSM. I believe that words-are-just

-words and Trump's explosive words have certainly

cheapened the value of words. His incendiary words

have lit up a whole swath of people. 

But, I was waiting for Trump to start working in order 

to judge him. Is he the genius populist that he thinks he is?
I must say, many of his ideas impressed me greatly.
His ideas won't all be good, but some will be
groundbreaking:

[If they're all like the first two, Trump will be a god-send.]

He appears to be ready to:

- give former politicians a 5-year break before they 

can turn around and lobby their former colleagues.
This is only one of the revolving doors from government
to the private sector which is dripping with insider
trading and corruption. Shot 1 across the bows of
corruption.

EXCELLENT

- sign away any connection to TTP. That will be,

for many, the death knell of the democracy-killing

Shareholders' Protection Agreement, the nadir

of neo-liberalism and globalisation, signed by the 

"Leftie" Obama. The dragon has been slain.

EXCELLENT

[I just heard that the death of TTP has been
praised by Bernie Sanders, and called a
"mistake" by John McCain. I rest my case]

Others to come:

Don't want an hour as a refugee, in Davos

The theatrical works of a culture say as much about
that culture as they say about theater. In the Out-of-
Touch Burgh of Davos, the oligarch class, with or
without the perennial Clintons, go up a mountain in
search of wisdom, or fois gras. This year, the
self-appointed world elites were trying on some
human emotions like a pair of cheap, wet smelly
socks.

In their attempt to understand more about the
world publics that they usually step all over,
they tried discussing "them losers over there."
But when it came to refugees, they treated
themselves to a live, in the wool, experience
of life as refugees for 45 minutes only.

It was so out of touch. Until I can analyse it
further, it looked like a dark room, with some
water on the floor and a bunch of soldiers
yelling at them.

In the first instance, refugees, if Lesbos is
any example, are met by locals and
international volunteers with blankets,
if they manage to avoid a dunking in
the Med. Perhaps the show should have
chosen some Davos Divots and taken
them to a deep pool, and put them in a rickety
leaky boat, especially if they cannot swim.
I think several thousand real refugees died
in the Med last year.



Forget what the media tell you. This
Theater of the Elites looked more
like what will happen when the
economy totally collapses under the
weight of elitist fuck-ups. In that case,
it will be permanently dark as elites
will have found a way to cloud the
sun permanently. The shouting soldiers
would be the ones trying to save them
while killing the plebs who are
seeking a scrap of food. The soldiers
would be saving the elites and taking
them to refuge at Galt's Gulch.
