France tells US President Trump to stop interfering in its politics
Straights Times ^ | 12-9-2018 | AFP

Posted on 12/09/2018 2:54:10 PM PST by tcrlaf

The French government on Sunday (Dec 9) urged Mr Donald Trump not to interfere in French politics after the US president posted tweets about the protests rocking the country and attacked the Paris climate agreement.

"We do not take domestic American politics into account and we want that to be reciprocated," Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told LCI television.

"I say this to Donald Trump and the French president says it too: leave our nation be.

Yes, this speech from March of this year seems to say he is interfering in US policies...:^)

Speaking at a conference in Brussels, Macron said that since Trump had indicated US withdrawal from the Paris deal, a new trade deal would undermine clean energy producers in Europe, and project a message of weakness abroad.

Far from bending to the will of the US, “trade agreements should reverse the burden of proof,” Macron said. “They should be a way of spreading our standards. Anyone who signs an agreement with the EU should be committing to put the Paris Agreement into practice…

“We even go beyond our own rules and ask our own economic agents to do the same. Why should we sign a trade agreement with powers that say they don’t want to implement the Paris Agreement? We would be mad [to do so].”

Macron said that the world’s multilateral rules-based trade policy was “threatened by unilateral temptations”.

“I’m not in favour of showing any softness to those who decide to break those rules,” he said. “We can no longer pursue objectives that work against our own [climate] policies inside our own borders.”

The riots should have happened years ago to kick Muslim invaders out.

Be not deceived. The French government lives in a hermetically sealed bell jar, much like our own beltway. Little information leaks in or out. The denizens of the atmospherically controlled interior exist only on a sustainable system of recycling their own waste.

You might call it Biosphere III; and because Trump has blown the seals and allowed a rush of fresh oxygen in, the hothouse mutants who have evolved over the last century are in violent reaction. Same thing is happening to France.

This is nothing but damage control to a sinking ship. President Emmanuel Macron’s control is going down quickly. The curtain of deception has been rolled back on Global Warming and has revealed a disgusting, criminal, money-making scheme that no way will reverse climate change. Macron is up to his eyeballs in that scheme as his ship goes down.

Paul Ryan allowed Macron to criticize America at a joint session of Congress.


Macron Critiques Trump’s Policies in Speech to Congress

“One day after President Emmanuel Macron of France and President Trump showered each other with praise, the French president spoke more critically of his host’s foreign policy, trade and environmental decisions in a speech to Congress that amounted to an implicit rebuke of Mr. Trump’s ‘America First’ approach.”

I’ve often thought that if I was ultra rich I’d be spending $million$ on small arms and ammo to arm the native (nationalist) populations if Britain, Sweden and Germany.

Ryan will always been known as the spineless little beech who stood for nothing but the highest bidder in the globalist/open border cabal and never for the American people.

EXPOSED: Obama ordered CIA to spy on foreign presidential candidate, posted by ptsal · 48 replies
Milne News ^ | 27-May-2018 | staff
Former President Barack Hussein Obama not only ordered agencies to spy on just President Trump, but turns out he ordered the CIA to spy on then french presidential candidate Marine Le Pen. In a huge bombshell revealed from Wikileaks, Barack Obama interfered and ordered the Central Intelligence Agency to spy on French presidential candidate Marine LaPen. The revelation was revealed when Julian Assange replied to President Donald Trump’s tweet about #Spygate being the biggest political scandal in U.S. history.

From what I hear, it seems they are looking for data that shows Trump asked the Russians to cause chaos in Frog-Town and they, being in close collusion with him, made it happen....

>>Perhaps they shouldn’t have bashed Trump at the WWI memorial then..

I don’t recall the French government denouncing President Obama when he flat out refused to stand with the heads of state of other nations to join with the French in denouncing the Islamic terrorist attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices.

Barack blamed the victim and said that they instigated the attack.

The Charlie Hebdo march: where were the American leaders? [UPDATE: White House response added]
By Eugene Volokh
January 11, 2015

ABC reports that the massive march in Paris included “Germany’s Angela Merkel, Britain’s David Cameron, Italy’s Matteo Renzi, Mariano Rajoy of Spain, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko, and European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker.” CNN adds “Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,” as well as “Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu [and] Jordan’s King Abdullah II and Queen Rania.” BBC reports there were “40 world leaders” present.

But President Obama wasn’t one of them; Vice-President Biden and Secretary of State Kerry apparently weren’t there, either. CNN reports that “A senior State Department official told CNN that Kerry had committed a long time ago to be the lead speaker at Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s entrepreneurship and innovation summit in India. The official said that Kerry did not want to cancel that as he continues to work on the United States’ relationship with the nation.”

Agence France Press published a list of “world political figures who have confirmed their attendance,” before the march itself. It noted, in the first sentence, that “United States President Barack Obama will not join other world leaders at Sunday’s Paris march in tribute to the victims of this week’s Islamist attacks in France, a US official told AFP,” though it included Holder as the representative of the U.S. But CNN reported that, though Attorney General Holder was in Paris “to attend a security summit on combating terrorism,” he didn’t come to the rally.

...President Obama also didn’t appear at the Washington march organized by the French Embassy; the U.S. was represented by “Victoria Nuland, assistant secretary at the Department of State.” According to Politico, “Obama wasn’t far from the march in D.C. on Sunday that wended silently along six blocks from the Newseum to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. Instead, he spent the chilly afternoon a few blocks away at the White House, with no public schedule, no outings.” Politico adds a good deal more; if you’re interested, read the whole article (by Edward-Isaac Dovere)...

John Kerry’s Reprehensible Charlie Hebdo Comments Perfectly Reflect Obama Administration Policy
By ANDREW C. MCCARTHY
November 23, 2015 9:30 PM

...As has been widely reported, Kerry initially said there was a “legitimacy” to the mass-murder of cartoonists and writers who satirized the prophet Mohammed. Instantly realizing he’d gone too far, Kerry watered “legitimacy” down to “a rationale that you could attach yourself to somehow and say, ‘Okay, they’re really angry because of this and that.’” By contrast, Kerry claimed, there really was no “this and that” to rationalize what happened in Paris November 13, a terrorist strike he described as “absolutely indiscriminate” and not done “to aggrieve one particular sense of wrong.”

Of course, this contention is as absurd as it is offensive. Both sets of terrorist atrocities were driven by Islamic supremacist ideology.

Kerry distorted the Charlie Hebdo episode as if it had involved only a reprisal over cartoons lampooning Islam. In fact, the jihadists shot and wounded a random jogger (consistent with the call to jihad against non-Muslims), killed a police officer (consistent with the ISIS call to assassinate Western security personnel as part of that jihad), took hostages at a kosher market, killing four of them (consistent with anti-Semitism, a core theme of Islamic supremacism), and took hostages at a printing factory (again, consistent with the call to jihad).

So looked at in its totality, the jihadist operations at and around the Charlie Hebdo attack were very similar to November 13, except in scale (17 murdered in the former; 130 in the latter). Neither atrocity was “absolutely indiscriminate,” except in the judgment of an administration willfully blind to the ideological underpinnings of jihadist terror...

The French haven’t been implicated in Spygate yet, AFAIK, but if they had and/or are having any involvement....
