SSCI Chairman Senator Mark Warner Organizing Democrat Consultation on the Risk Joe Biden Represents


Posted originally on the CTH on July 6, 2024 | Sundance 

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) is the center of the silo network that supports the Intelligence Community control over U.S. political outcomes.  SSCI Chairman Mark Warner has been the leading organizer of the IC efforts to interfere in USA politics since 2015.

Senator Mark Warner was selected by the DC system to represent the IC interests when Donald J Trump became the leading candidate for the 2016 election.  Warner was quickly installed to replace Senator Dianne Feinstein on the SSCI immediately following the 2016 election outcome.

From his position within the IC silo, Warner led the legislative effort to frame Trump for the Russia Collusion hoax.  His efforts to support the IC have been fully immersed thereafter and continue through today.   The IC is concerned that Biden now represents a risk to their system of control.

As a direct result, Warner is now activated to lead the consultation conversation about how to mitigate damage and proactively protect the IC interests.

WASHINGTON DC – WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Senator Mark Warner on Tuesday was contacting some fellow Democratic senators to invite them to a possible meeting on Monday to discuss President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, a source familiar told Reuters.

The source did not elaborate or say whether Warner was trying to organize a group of senators to pressure Biden to quit the race.

The Washington Post reported on Friday that Warner was trying to put together a group of Democratic senators who would ask Biden to end his presidential campaign. (READ MORE)

Why 2032 is so Necessary


Posted Jul 5, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

2024_07_04_09_39_39_Top_Democrats_who_pushed_25th_Amendment_during_Trump_years_silent_on_triggering_

With every day that passes, we are edging closer and closer to 2032, where our Computer is forecasting the collapse of our present form of Republican government, and the light at the end of the tunnel is that we get to hold another Constitutional Convention. This time, we get to correct all the mistakes of our Founding Fathers. ONE major reform must be TERM LIMITS, but another should be abolishing POLITICAL PARTIES. You may think you are voting for whatever that person promises. They then go to Washington and are told, that was great; now, here is what you will vote for. The policies are set behind closed doors, and if you look at the voting, you will notice that it typically goes down party lines. That alone proves that the form of government we live in is just so corrupt that it is not worth saving.

2024_07_04_09_46_32_House_Approves_Resolution_Urging_Pence_To_Invoke_25th_Amendment_House_Impeachm

Here is a classic example. The Democrats passed a 25th Amendment motion to get rid of Trump when he was certainly not mentally impaired. They have hated his agenda and have impeached him twice, and now are criminally charging him for anything they can conjure up. This is the disgusting evil of policies, and this is the very cancer that demonstrates our present form of government will NEVER survive. Now, the Republicans have sought to invoke Section 4 of the  25th Amendment against Trump when the majority of people recognize he is not fit to be president.

T Shirt Afraid of Government
Party Politics

The fact that no Democrats would dare to invoke the 25th Amendment against Biden demonstrates that the Constitution, the rule of law, and the safety of our nation are NEVER considered when it would impact their party for the election.  Here we have HR 1336 Resolution to invoke the 25th Amendment against Biden. Every Democrat that refuses to endorse this is showing you that they will NEVER defend the country or honor what they promise because they vote only as told by their Party against the people they are supposed to represent.


Section 4.

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.


H. RES. 1336

Calling on Vice President Kamala D. Harris to convene and mobilize the principal officers of the executive departments of the Cabinet to activate section 4 of the 25th Amendment to declare President Joseph R. Biden incapable of executing the duties of his office and to immediately exercise powers as Acting President.


IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

June 28, 2024

Mr. Roy (for himself and Mr. Higgins of Louisiana) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary


RESOLUTION

Calling on Vice President Kamala D. Harris to convene and mobilize the principal officers of the executive departments of the Cabinet to activate section 4 of the 25th Amendment to declare President Joseph R. Biden incapable of executing the duties of his office and to immediately exercise powers as Acting President.

Whereas President Joseph R. Biden has repeatedly and publicly demonstrated his inability to discharge the powers and duties of the Presidency, including, among others, the powers and duties of the Commander-in-Chief: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the House of Representatives calls upon Vice President Kamala D. Harris—

(1) to immediately use her powers under section 4 of the 25th Amendment to convene and mobilize the principal officers of the executive departments in the Cabinet to declare that President Joseph R. Biden is unable to discharge the duties and powers of the office; and

(2) to transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives notice that she will be immediately assuming the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

It’s Just Time – Political Revolution


Posted originally on Jul 4, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

Its Just Time

Back in 2008, I named a report after what Margaret Thatcher had told me about politics. I began that report by writing:

Time is but a dimension that we divide up to mark its passing. Western thought, unfortunately, is linear, not dynamic. This has been the curse of Western understand­ing and knowledge. Time is but a cycle – a circle. Asians are raised with the idea of cycles leading to a more dynamic thinking process. Some see and feel cycles, and some see it as necessary and instinctively understand them. Lady Margaret Thatcher once commented to me that the Conservatives would lose the elections in Great Britain when John Major was running, she said – “It’s just time.

Lady Thatcher came and spoke at our conference on cycles. She said.

Thatcher 1997

Use Up/Down Arrow keys to increase or decrease volume.

Today’s British election is underway, and we will see a sweep where Labour will replace Conservatives, who have acknowledged that Labour appears headed for victory and urged voters not to hand the party a “supermajority.” Britain’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak insisted “the outcome of this election is not a foregone conclusion.” However, in a message to voters on Wednesday, Sunak said that “if the polls are to be believed, the country could wake up tomorrow to a Labour supermajority ready to wield their unchecked power.” He urged voters to back the Conservatives to limit Labour’s power. The Conservatives have been more concerned about appeasing Anthony Blinken and the American quest to conquer Russia. To hell with the economy or the people. Britain was fully on board with the Globalists, which was precisely OPPOSITE of all the positions to retain independence from Europe, which were the core policies of Lady Thatcher.

I have done some interviews in Britain where the host reluctantly put me on the air because of my connection with Lady Thatcher and their obstinacy about even trying to understand her policies. Many regard her as the most hated Prime Minister, all because they were used to handouts. They claim that she destroyed Britain’s manufacturing industry, and her policies led to mass unemployment. That was absurd, for the world was engulfed in the crisis at the time – not just Britain.

I advised companies that wanted to get into the EU and needed skilled labor to place them in Britain, while I placed those that needed the best tax deals, like airlines, in Ireland. Thatcher had heard that there was this guy rearranging companies and wanted to meet me. She asked me why I placed industries in Britain compared to other European countries. I explained that the cost per employee in other regulations was 40% less in Britain compared to Germany at the time.

Others argued that she presided over 15% interest rates. Again, that was not unique to Britain; it was a global trend. Most of the complaints about Thatcher were based on their ignorance of global trends. No single country can reverse a worldwide recession, no matter who the politician might be. The very best you can do is minimize the volatility and depth of the decline.

I did feel the public would never understand her reasoning regarding the poll tax. She felt that if people had skin in the game, this would limit government waste. But the people, I said, are like dogs. They are satisfied with the scraps from your table, not about jumping on your table and eating the whole meal. Others complain that she sowed the seeds of NHS Privatisation. I think Russia proved, as did ancient Byzantium, that the government is INCAPABLE of running anything efficiently. Those who hated Thatcher seemed to want to be taken care of and had no interest in their country.

Thatcher Federal Europe

What the self-centered haters of Thatcher refuse to understand, no less acknowledge, is that she SAVED Britain. I remember she said if she walked across the Thames River, they would say it was because she did not know how to swim. The coup staged against her by John Major and others was to take Britain into the fantasy land of the Euro. Major took Britain into the ERM and overvalued the pound, which led Soros to make his fortune thanks to John Major and others.

She knew that Tony Blair would win long before there were polls. When I asked why, she told me, “It’s Just Time.” She understood cycles better than any Western politician I have ever met. So while the ignorant still hate Margaret Thatcher, they will now get to see what voting for self-interest will do with promises of more money.

Economy Politics

The one thing I have learned from our computer is that if you turn the economy around with these Economic Confidence Model turning points, you will get political change. What is sweeping the world is that 60% of it is going to an election, and WHOEVER is in power is just being thrown out. The Globalists have been trying to take over everything, creating their dream of a one-world government headed by the United Nations with the elimination of our right to vote on anything. Their dream is a global dictatorship. Democracy must end as part of their agenda. It is refreshing to see Macron in trouble, as is Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. World leaders like Trudeau in Canada, Biden in the USA, and Ursula in the EU have a common goal – war against Russia at all costs and the creation of this one-world government bringing Democracy to an end. The people are responding regardless if they call themselves conservative, liberal, labour, or communist. Whoever is in power is taking the brunt of this global political shift.

French President Macron Aligns with the Black Bloc Communists in Effort to Stop Surging Patriotism


Posted originally on the CTH on July 4, 2024 | Sundance 

It really is remarkable to watch the similarities between left-wing politics in the USA and left-wing politics in France.  Historically, and in actual practice, we see this similarity as history rhymes and repeats. In both instances, you will note how the “mainstream” Democrats align with the communists to stop the majority of commonsense patriots.

In the USA, Democrats enjoy the activity of their foot soldiers in Antifa (Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, or RevCom etc.)  In France, the Democrats (NPF), within Macron’s camp, enjoy the activity of Black Bloc (the EU Antifa socialists and communists).

For this second round of the election, President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Gabriel Attal have organized 210 candidate exits, as Macron pulls his party toward the far-left.  The people, within the center of the Macron coalition, cannot believe how Macron would join with the communists, simply to retain his own power.  Apparently, they don’t follow history much.

FRANCE – […] “Macron reportedly refused to accept that the election result was a disaster and represents the end of his movement.

Criticizing his sudden decision to ally with far-left extremists, one minister said, “He is so drunk on himself that he is in a bubble. In every moment, he sincerely believes, even today, that he does the best thing that can possibly be done and says the best thing that can possibly be said.”

Another minister told reporters, “It was a completely surreal scene. It was as if he hasn’t understood that he’s lost, hasn’t understood that because of him his political movement is dead, hasn’t understand that now he inspires only rage in those who once supported him, hasn’t understood that his words now ring hollow, hasn’t understood that he has lost all his political capital.” (more)

The French political manipulators (like Samantha Power) are repeating all the familiar moves – like putting agent provocateurs on the streets, people dressed in Nazi uniforms – to give the appearance of the nationalists as a “right-wing” extremist group.   The Canadian political manipulators did the same thing during the Trucker rally, and the USA version of the same people created the optics for J6.  It’s all the same playbook.

All of the opposition research files on the Marine Le Pen supported nationalist candidates are being dropped in advance of the Sunday election, in an effort to stop the conservative French from achieving victory.  These are all direct plays from the revolutionary communist playbook.

FRANCE – The French interior minister, Gerald Darmanin, said some 30,000 police will be deployed across France late on Sunday following the second round of elections to ensure there is no trouble.

Late last night, the French prime minister, Gabriel Attal, said candidate Prisca Thevenot – the government spokesperson – and members of her campaign team were attacked by four individuals while putting up election posters. “Violence and intimidation have no place in our democracy,” he said.

Today, Thevenot thanked law enforcement and said “violence is never the answer.”

The French prosecutor’s office said it opened an investigation into an assault with a weapon against a public official.

A new poll from Ifop shows that 47% of voters believe the far right National Rally will win an absolute majority of seats in Sunday’s election.

The far right National Rally’s Marine Le Pen argued her party can still win an absolute majority. “I think there is still the capacity to have an absolute majority with the electorate turning out in a final effort to get what they want,” she said.

Raphaël Glucksmann, who led the French Socialist-Place Publique list in the European elections, has cautioned against a belief that “we have saved things” already and called for urgency to defeat the far right.

The Ecologists’ Marine Tondelier has criticised the far-right National Rally’s Jordan Bardella, arguing that his party is allowing some candidates who made racist, anti-Semitic and misogynistic comments to remain on the ballot (read more)

It’s all playing out exactly as we predicted – SEE HERE

If the communists (Democrats) lose to the nationalists (Republicans), they will burn France to the ground.

Watch closely, because when Donald Trump wins in November, the same thing will likely happen here! 

The War on Farming Continues – Denmark to Tax Cattle


Posted Jul 3, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Dairy Cow

The globalist cabal needs to control the food supply in order to control the masses. The World Economic Forum proposed ending gardening in general. Every nation is watching their farmland bought in bulk, with places like America seeing land taken away through eminent domain laws. The UK imposed a tax on chickens simply to prevent people from having the ability to source their own food. Now, Denmark is implementing a tax for cow ownership.

Denmark has imposed a 672 krone ($145) tax per cow owned by any individual in an attempt to combat climate change. People must pay the government for the luxury of owning livestock as they are threatening the climate. The government has paid for scientists to back these claims and falsified studies that state that gardening or owning livestock of any kind threatens the existence of planet Earth. Like COVID, we are blindly forced to trust “the science” when it is clear propaganda.

This is a massive issue for Denmark where 63% of the total land area is used for agricultural production. The dairy cow population is about 546,800, declining 1.74% from 2022 to 2023, and the nation hosts 2.5% of all dairy cows in the European Union. About 3.6% of all milk consumed in the EU comes from Denmark. Yet, Denmark is pushing full speed ahead to meet asinine climate targets. The nation plans to reduce 70% of all emissions by 2030, in alignment with Agenda 2030, before becoming climate neutral in 2050.

French_farmers_protests

Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen praised Denmark for becoming the first nation to impose a carbon tax on agriculture. The plan, per usual, is to continue increasing this tax, as the levy will reach 1680 per cow by 2035. The billions in revenue will circulate back into the green agenda.

Farmers across the EU have been protesting against these climate initiatives for a long time. They’re being forced to change their feed and use less fertilizer. Everything they’re asked to abide by only makes their industry less competitive compared to foreign nations that are not and will never abide by the green agenda.

This will do nothing to change the climate or the weather. This will, however, prevent small farmers from operating and give few more control over the agriculture industry. Climate change is the premise to tax us into oblivion. No one is able to question the climate agenda, and there is no limit on how much carbon they claim they need to reduce to save the planet. Slowly but surely, every law imposed will curb our God-given ability to utilize the land to feed ourselves. Governments are absolutely tyrannical with power and are attempting to control the most basic of human needs.

Were Politics Always This Divided?


Posted originally on Jul 2, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Politics were never divided to the level we see today. I have people write in to say that politics has always been a divisive and dirty game. While that is true, there is no denying that America has never been less united. Socrates is not forecasting a typical partisan debacle come election season, rather, Socrates is predicting a massive rise in civil unrest that will explode by the beginning of September. By 2028, there may not be a US Presidential election at all.

Take a look at the video above. One may recall the division that took place when Barack Obama was running for president. There has always been the left v the right, but there was humanity. Everyone still identified as an American, first and foremost. The debates today have come down to outright battles between the two sides where neither feels the other deserves to exist on the same land. In the movie “Civil War,” one separatist soldier questioned, “What kind of American are you?” This line of thinking is precisely what we see today, and it is precisely on time.

Cicero 5

We are in the final stages of the decline and fall of republics. When the founding fathers founded America, they cited Cicero who was the fake news of the ancient world – eventually they beheaded him and nailed him, he was that bad. They thought it was a republic against monarchy or, effectively, a republic is always the most corrupt because everyone is up for sale. The scenario created is far worse than a dictatorship, as one cannot bribe a dictator.

Simply look and listen to the current president of the United States, the most powerful man in the world who cannot hold a coherent thought. Juxtaposing his speech and mannerisms to only a few years ago is simply tragic. He has declined into a shell of his former self. The establishment will not allow Biden to step away from power without utterly humiliating him first so that there is no question as to why they must swap out their candidate.

CBS conducted a survey that found 72% of all voters questioned the president’s cognitive abilities. We are not merely questioning his policies, but we are questioning whether he is fit enough to function. About 35% of Americans still held onto false hope that Biden could physically serve another term, but that dropped to a mere 27% after his debate with Donald Trump. The establishment believes that We the People are idiots when we can clearly see that our president has a serious mental impairment. What’s worse is that one side still believes people will vote for a senile man.

They are deliberately creating outrage among the public and failing to listen to the wishes of the people. The newly installed candidate who will replace Biden will “save the day” in the eyes of the Democrats, but that person will merely fuel the anger on the right. The left has been the most outspoken in terms of their discontent with the government, even under a liberal administration. What will they do if their candidate loses? The corrupt legal system like Manhattan DA Alvin Braggs will not prosecute anyone on the left. The right has been demonized and backed into a corner.

The 2024 US Presidential Election will not follow the normal discourse of Republicans v Democrats. We have two completely different schools of thought competing for the future of America as we have known it. Economics drives everything and NO ONE is content with the current state of the economy, but they do not understand how it functions and are willing to assign blame to either party. It has taken years, a pandemic, mass migration, and woke politics to fuel a landscape of absolute hate. I fear that a civil war is inevitable as both sides want to reclaim their version of America.

Supreme Court Overturns Chevron Doctrine – Reining in the Deep State


Posted originally on Jul 1, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

US Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has overturned the Chevron deference in a 6-3 vote in a major push toward eliminating government overreach. The 1984 Chevron U.S.A. v. Natural Resources Defense Council has permitted government agencies to implement the rule of law, bypassing the federal judicial system.

Deep State 1

Individuals and Corporations have been at the mercy of agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which was permitted to implement regulations over entire industries as it saw fit. That violated the Constitution, for the laws are to be made by the PEOPLE, and Congress should NEVER delegate that power to an unelected agency that creates the Deep State. Conservatives have attempted to overturn the Chevron doctrine for years, as it simply places the law in the hands of unelected government officials.

Rosevelt FDR Drawing

Justice Roberts said Chevron violated the Administrative Procedure Act (1946), which dictates how government agencies may issue and develop regulations. The APA was intended to inform the public of how and why rules were implemented and provided a platform for public participation. It also created a clear standard for proceedings and restated judicial review. The APA was implemented after Franklin D. Roosevelt created an onslaught of public agencies through the New Deal. Chief Justice Roberts further stated that the Chevron doctrine was “misguided” as it made the rule of law ambiguous.

For 40 years, the Chevron doctrine has corrupted every aspect of American life, from health care to labor laws. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) deferred to public agency interpretations of the law, which was outrageous that non-elected and non-judges make the law. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) had the authority to control what Americans content Americans could consume, and they abolished the Fairness Doctrine with no regard to how that would harm society with fake news.

The Food and Drug Administration (FD) had the authority to control what it deemed safe for Americans to consume. With COVID-19, they prohibited anyone from advocating drugs that worked all because funding comes from the Pharmaceutical companies. This has by no means benefited society and this decision was so necessary to restore some accountability.

7th Amendment

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) had the ability to define American financial markets. The SEC has just been overruled where they were charging people, imposing penalties, and refusing to allow what the Constitution supposedly guaranteed – the right to trial by jury under the 7th Amendment.

Absolutely every facet of American life is partially controlled by unelected government agencies who need not abide by a uniform rule of law before implementing regulations. What the SEC has been doing has rejected the Constitution for decades. Once you hand this unbridled power to any agency, you get tyranny. What is WRONG WITH OUR LEGAL SYSTEM is that whenever Congress or an agency write any law or rule, they should go to court to establish that it is Constitutional. Instead, they pick on people who cannot afford lawyers to expand their tyranny, and it is always our burden for someone to challenge them and make it to the Supreme Court. That is outrageous.

The Supreme Court ruling is a major blow to the administrative Deep State. It is ABOUT TIME! This aims to de-politicize government agencies to control our very way of life. Executive branches need to be reined in dramatically, especially at a time when industries such as the EPA are driving entire sectors into the ground, outlawing gas stoves that I grew up with, and I think I’m still alive. The liberals in favor of Chevron believe Congress should be trusted to defer power to agencies, which they believe will rule based on expertise, laughably unbiasedly.

The reason I say we need a Constitutional Court that Congress and agencies go to first for PERMISSION to create the rule of law is that they get to rule the country by sheet tyranny. In my case, they seized the foreign companies, denied using any funds, would not allow them to answer complaints, and installed a receiver, Alan Cohen, who refused to defend the companies or even answer a complaint. This amounted to violating the 5th Amendment, illegally taking my companies, and denying them any right to defend themselves.

They threw me in contempt of court using 28 USC 1826, where the statute states the maximum time is 18 months, not 7 years, and that I was supposed to have a right to appeal in 30 days, which was NEVER honored by the Second Circuit. The very prison records show the contempt was renewed every 18 months, and the ONLY way I was ever released was when I finally made it to the Supreme Court, and they ordered the government to explain. They released me and told the Court the case was then moot. If they can do this to me, steal the pensions of 240 employees, they can do it to anyone.

Political Forecasts – Macron in Trouble


Posted originally on Jun 30, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Socrates IPad

Our computer’s political forecasts do not rely on polls. What is most interesting is that when you correlate the economy with politics, you get to see the major swings coming like never before. As I have said, our model has been showing that the 2024 election in the USA should be won by Trump. The Democrats will most likely draft Hillary to try to defeat this correlation whereby Biden would lose, and our computer interest had forecast back in 2020 that whoever won the 2020 election would not finish out the term. I had been concerned that if Trump won 2020, what was the computer forecasting – he would die in office or be assassinated? But the election was cleverly rigged in Congress itself with the help of the Deep State because Trump was anti-war. The previous anti-war president was Kennedy, and we all know what the CIA did back then.

The June 23, 1972, tape from the Watergate Affair was hailed as the incontrovertible evidence that Nixon had obstructed justice. The last vestige of support for Nixon on Capitol Hill evaporated. Two weeks later, on Aug. 8, 1974, Nixon resigned. Why did Congress and the Deep State abandon Nixon? Because while the tape dealt with obstruction of justice, it was a threat to the CIA that Nixon knew who killed JFK – the CIA. Nixon made ominous threats that reeked of unspoken crimes to the head of the CIA that had employed four of the seven burglars. For the next 50 years,  people have looked at this evidence, and historians have pondered the June 23 tape as a Rosetta Stone of the JFK assassination. Nixon basically threatened to expose the “hanky panky” and “the whole Bay of Pigs thing.” What story was going to “blow” if the CIA didn’t cooperate?

1972 Presidential Election Forecast

A long-overlooked White House tape provides the answers—the “hanky panky” referred to CIA assassination operations in the early 1960s. The “whole Bay of Pigs thing” was the Agency’s reaction to its most humiliating defeat. And the story that might blow was the connection between those events and the assassination of JFK. Nixon was taken down and had to be discredited to protect the “hanky panky” that took place behind the scenes. The Watergate burglars were ex-CIA. Many wonder if they took down Nixon for daring to threaten them. The 1972 election had 520 Electoral votes for Nixon vs. 17 for McGovern. Nixon came in at 60.7% of the popular vote compared to 37.5% for McGovern. Our political model had forecast 61% and 62% for Nixon on two models. But then, too, it suggested that Nixon would not finish out his term. Nevertheless, 4 out of six models point to a Nixon victory.

France_Marine_Le_Pen

Marine Le Pen’s National Rally was leading in the first round of parliamentary elections across France on Sunday. Based on early projections, her party is now one step closer to its goal of winning control of the National Assembly and taking the reins of government. Her National Rally and its allies appear to have won 34% of first-round votes, while the New Popular Front, a coalition of leftist parties, garnered 30% of ballots. President Emmanuel Macron’s warmongering party and its allies were heading for a third-place finish with 22% of the vote.

Macron’s presidential term ends in 2027. Macron placed a huge bet on this snap election. He wrongly expected to edge out leftist parties in the first round and force their voters to rally around his party for the runoff and thus defeat Le Pen’s National Rally. Macron does not understand politics. His strategy has backfired coming in third-place which means many of his candidates might miss runoff races altogether.

Le Pen and her allies, meanwhile, are within striking distance of a 289-seat majority in the National Assembly that would compel Macron to select a prime minister from her ranks. Le Pen has said she wants her protégé, 28-year-old Jordan Bardella, to run the government if National Rally captures a majority in the lower house of parliament.

France CPI Macron

The major political issue has been the rising cost of living. Macron fails to comprehend that his posturing to lead Europe and send troops to Ukraine will only drive inflation substantially higher in France. The cost of the sanctions against Russia has been devasting to inflation combined with the insane response to COVID with lockdowns. Leaders like Macron do not look at the costs of their chest beating in geopolitical posturing.
