A French court recently sentenced National Rally leader Marine Le Pen to prison and banned her from running in national elections for five years, ostensibly for embezzling European Union funds. Even the court admitted that Le Pen did not personally profit.
This is almost certainly a ruse, as French courts clearly do not care where or how non-conservative politicians and public servants get their money.
Jordan Bardella, president of National Rally and Le Pen’s presumptive successor in the presidential run, strongly condemned the ruling stating, “Today, it is not only Marine Le Pen who is being unjustly condemned: it is French democracy that is being executed.”
Well, France has a long history of executing out-of-favor politicians, allegedly in defense of democracy.
Remember the Jacobins?
But, hey, when in doubt about your election chances, and, to save your beloved "democracy," it’s always a good thing to jail your political opponents, right? Corollary: if somehow they are still able to run — and win — just declare the election null and void! It’s easy and brilliant! Eat, sleep, repeat, right? Keep doing so until your guy/gal/they is elected! The Soviets did this almost flawlessly, as did the Nazis.
Bridging the East and West, left and right, in a touching display of totalitarian inclusiveness, Brussels has now fully embraced these totally tyrannical tenets.
Woe to the wayward, formerly independent nation that has the temerity to favor a conservative non-globalist to head their country. Hell hath no fury like Brussels scorned!
So, screw you, Romania! Get ready to be corrected, Germans! The French government has proactively screwed its own citizens. And, you English … well, never mind, you are obviously gloriously intent on your own submission, anyway. Well done!
Glad to hear Canada is on board with the Great Submission, as well!

Isn’t democracy grand? Show everyone how it’s done, Europe! And to think we were just an ear away from joining these clowns for good (and probably eternity).
DJT, let Macron know very clearly that there will be no relationship with the US until that verdict is wiped away. Impose a 100% tariff on all French goods, including airplane tickets, tell them no NATO protection, recall our ambassador, shut it down. And the same for Romania and Germany. Time for the big stick approach.
Just like “keep counting ballots days or weeks after the Election Day until the Democrat wins.”
He’s just noticing?
Are the Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys sharpening up the old Guillotine as I type? ;)
Europe was never “found”, so how could it be lost?
Palace intrigue is the norm there and it ain’t never changed.
That’s one of the reasons they keep ripping themselves apart with stupid ass wars.
I used to be proud to be descended from the Ice-Age hunters of Europe.
I heard an Englishman and his wife were recently jailed, because they made comments online that were ‘critical’ of the local school board, where there child is now enrolled.
I honestly thought this was some kind of satire at first.
No. It really happened. Stunning and ominous, but if Kamala were now president, we Americans wouldn’t be all that far from being thrown in jail too, and for the same reasons!
You can throw Ireland into that mix of countries that have gone off the deep end, Conor McGregor is in their crosshairs, he must be polling well after saying he was going to run for President, the Irish establishment has called him every vile name in the book, now they are investigating him for social media posts from 2023, looking to take him out with criminal charges.

France is practicing the same kind of lawfare that biden did. It is using the full power of the government to eliminate its political opponents.

It’s a four year reprieve. The indoctrination factories are operating at full capacity, (schools). The younger population is so stupid, it takes my breath away. Even older people have been indoctrinated thoroughly. Just look at the videos of Tesla vandals.
We need to leave NATO. The way Europe is headed we’ll never get to see peace.
“Tariffs Away”
I agree. Let the so wonderful European Union deal with their neighbors' problems. Europe has brought all their problems upon themselves. Just read where a UK couple was arrested for voicing their opinions against immigration policies. Europe has lost it's mind. NO AMERICAN TROOPS TO DEFEND EUROPE ANYMORE.
The lights are going out all across Europe. But this time their leadership is doing it to their own peoples.
Not exactly the best example to pick from:
The terms Jacobin and Jacobinism have been used in a variety of senses. Prior to 1793, the terms were used by contemporaries to describe the politics of Jacobins in the congresses of 1789 through 1792. With the ascendancy of Maximilien Robespierre and the Montagnards into 1793, they have since become synonymous with the policies of the Reign of Terror, with Jacobinism now meaning "Robespierrism".
I say terrible choice because it almost equates Le Pan to Robespierre as if they are similar in nature, even though there is no evidence to support that comparison.
Many might agree with the decision to do what was done to her, yet this is not what this article's intent was supposedly meant to convey, was it?
I for one saw nothing that even tried to dispel the comparison. but we have evidence as to the radicalism that Robespierre & politics of Jacobins were certainly something that is not desired to be repeated.
When a country allows itself to be overrun by cultural aliens from destitute wastelands, elects a President who “married” a woman twenty five years his senior and has no progeny of his own, you know that that this country is in an advanced state of cultural rot.
