Macron’s weird bet is happening today. Like most countries, France can have an election any time the government wants. France is NOT stuck in hell for an automatic unstoppable 4-year sentence. Parole is possible.
Macron is a Wall Street alumnus, so he enjoys destroying entire countries for fun and profit. See Soros or Sammy.
It appears that the normal French party of LePen will get enough seats for effective control with a coalition, and polls think she could get an absolute majority. Her normal French party would then control domestic policy while Macron would still be in charge of foreign affairs.
The election is a nice shibboleth for various “news” media, with the openly Wall Street types like the Economist rending their 5-piece suits and wailing in the streets, while the more sneaky Wall Street types are content to describe LePen with loaded words like “far-right” or “ultra-right” or “explosive” or “grenade” or “clawing” or “outlandish” (hint, hint, hint, WE MEAN HITLER).
There’s nothing outlandish about LePen. Macron is literally outlandish, loyal to outlanders.
LePen is a strictly NORMAL French politician, directly descended from DeGaulle. France is traditionally more ethnic nationalist than other Euro countries, with the Academie protecting its language and a Minister of Culture.
France was the first rebel against WallStreet carpetbaggers in the 1840s, with the Foy Rebellion. Now, if the polls are right, they’re rejecting another WallStreet carpetbagger.

Politico has an interesting take on the election. DC insiders are worried that a less slavishly loyal France would weaken our burning demonic need for imperialist wars everywhere, especially our permanent war against Russia. LePen will try to use the power of parliament to constrain Macron’s militarist and imperialist goals.
Again an echo of DeGaulle. He REMEMBERED that Russia had been the most important ally and sacrificed the most to defeat Germany. Later he expressed gratitude in a practical way, maintaining close ties with Russia, irritating our Deepstate demons in the same way that LePen irritates our modern Deepstate demons. We memoryholed Russia’s role immediately after FDR died, and prosecuted officials who had participated in the alliance.
