French President Emmanuel Macron Suffers Stunning Setback As His Poor Handling Of The COVID-19 Crisis Has Left France Deeply In Debt

For a man who had aspired to rule like the Roman god Jupiter, the pandemic has left Emmanuel Macron and his vision of a multilateral world order in tatters and his own leadership back in France in question.

This is exciting, now we get to see just what Emmanuel Macron is really made up of, and how he does or does not rebound from this current setback will show us if our previous assessment of his astonishing similarities to the biblical Antichrist were well founded or misplaced. Remember one thing, though, Adolf Hitler was looking like the Antichrist right up to the moment they put him in jail where everyone said his days were over. But they were just getting started. Quo vadis, Emmanuel Macron, quo vadis?

“Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle. And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.” Daniel 11:20,21 (KJB)

Emmanuel Macron has repeatedly likened himself to the Roman god Jupiter, which is a very telling comparison if one is aware of ancient Rome and their oppression of the Jews in Israel. In 132 AD, the Bar-Kochba revolt against Rome took place because the Romans had erected a statue of their god Jupiter right on the Temple Mount. If Macron sees himself as Jupiter then that only further cements his standing as leader in the end times Antichrist sweepstakes.

“That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.” Acts 1:25 (KJB)

I will be watching with an extremely high interest level as Emmanuel Macron attempts to dig himself out of this hole, and restore his former glory. I am rooting for him to do just that. He’s come all the way out of his own place for such a time as this, and failure is not an option.

The Humbling of Emmanuel Macron

FROM BLOOMBERG: Just four months ago, with the gardens of his Elysee Palace in the background, the youngest French head of state since Napoleon boasted that the country “hasn’t known such energy in years.” With re-election two years away, he vowed his plans to cut taxes and reduce red tape would put France at the heart of a reinvigorated European Union.

Today, such confidence seems a world away after his struggle to get a grip on the coronavirus epidemic left Macron damaged at home and abroad.

The EU’s second-biggest economy registered its first case of Covid-19 in January but for weeks the government insisted that wearing a facemask was useless for the public, even as the disease coursed through French society. Macron didn’t impose a lockdown until March, when Italy and Spain had already shuttered most businesses. In a dramatic U-turn, the government is now encouraging people to wear masks when venturing outdoors.

One official in his office, speaking on condition of anonymity, acknowledged the government fumbled its response in the early stages, but insisted it has the situation under control now. Government spokeswoman Sibeth Ndiaye told Europe 1 radio Friday that the policy on masks had evolved along with the scientific advice.  A press officer at the Elysee declined to comment.

As the death toll in France climbed past 25,000, the president’s dithering was in stark contrast to Angela Merkel’s sober, methodical approach next door in Germany.

Macron had seemed to eclipse the German chancellor when he burst onto the stage in 2017, with Beethoven’s Ode to Joy, the European anthem, at his election-night rally. But as France tries to return to a new kind of normality with the tentative reopening of its economy on Monday, it’s piling up debt while Merkel has fiscal reserves to spare. Put simply, France will struggle to spend its way out the recession in the same way as its neighbor.

CLICK TO SEE WHAT EMMANUEL MACRON HAS BEEN UP TO

For a politician who’s gone toe-to-toe with Donald Trump and urged the EU to stand up to China, the scale of the crisis and his own role in it has forced a degree of introspection. As he said in one of several televised statements in April, “it’s a moment to start again from scratch.”

A government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said it was too early to say who had handled the crisis better and pointed to France’s successes, such as treating its gravest cases in hospitals and coordinating with international allies on a vaccine conference.

With his approval ratings slipping, Macron himself has also recognized that his administration fell short. “Were we prepared for this crisis? Obviously, not enough,’’ he said last month. “This moment, let’s be honest, has revealed cracks.’’

For Philippe Maniere, president of crisis management consultancy Vae Solis, Macron’s making a political calculation. “He needs to change course to get back on his feet — he’s being tactical,” he said. Even before the crisis there were signs that Macron might have to adjust his approach, with his lectures on everything from Iran to climate change at global summits failing to produce results, despite the personal chemistry he seemed to enjoy with the U.S. president.

Macron couldn’t persuade Trump to stick with the Paris Climate Agreement, failed to keep the U.S. in the Iran nuclear deal or indeed stop it undermining the World Trade Organization. When Macron pursued a coordinated international push for a coronavirus vaccine, it became clear the U.S. was out for itself. White House tariff threats meanwhile forced the French president to suspend his plans to tax internet giants like Google and Amazon.com Inc. on their revenue from France.

At home, his first wobble came after the Yellow Vest protests – a movement sparked by a hike in gasoline taxes but fundamentally driven by anger at economic injustice and perceptions of the president’s at times arrogant manner. The seeds were sown as far back as 2018, when he ruffled feathers with a video that went viral of him scolding a teenager for not addressing him as “Mr. President” and spoke to the nation about inequality from a gold desk.

Outside France, his demand for EU reform had become increasingly shrill as opponents like the Dutch and the Austrians stonewalled his calls for tighter integration or, when he did win support for a euro-area budget, diluted his original proposals to the point of irrelevance.

All this meant that when disaster struck, his political capital was running low. With his handling of the virus coming under fire in France, his credibility with EU partners was further weakened and calls for joint euro-area bond issuance to fund the economic recovery were easily brushed off. His fall-back proposal of grants from an EU fund has fared little better so far.

Macron’s warnings that the EU risks collapse if the Dutch don’t accept his demands grow more hollow with each repetition.

Perhaps expectations were too great when he came to power in the aftermath of Trump’s shocking election victory and the Brexit referendum, promising a progressive renewal for France and Europe. Perhaps he was guilty of fueling those expectations with his pre-election talk of how France wanted its president to be god-like. But the impression among some European officials now is, ‘who is he to tell us what to do’?

If Macron is realizing that he may never strike the grand bargain he wants for Europe, disenchantment with the political prodigy set in even sooner back home.

Like most world leaders, Macron initially failed to grasp the dangers of Covid-19 and as March’s municipal elections approached with Italy and then Spain in lockdown, calls mounted for the ballot to be delayed.

But Macron feared that would expose him to political attacks, so the vote went ahead, potentially exposing thousands of people to infection. A day later, the president who had vowed to rein in the state, announced 300 billion euros of government loan guarantees and halted his economic reforms. The government made clear it wouldn’t hesitate to take equity stakes in companies if necessary and the state is paying more than half the private sector workforce to stay home.

Far-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon attacked Macron for stealing his policy ideas. It’s an ironic political journey for Macron, the son of a doctor from northern France who studied at one of most prestigious institutions in Paris and worked as Rothschild & Co. investment banker. He’s spent more than a decade honing his world view among the educated, Parisian elites before he came to power promising to make France a “start-up nation” by paring back the role of the state and courting foreign investors.

But the truth is that Macron is grasping for a new identity. The Jupiter-like stance he’d envisaged before his election just an embarrassing memory. READ MORE

Emmanuel Macron Says He Is Now Ready To Send French Troops Into Ukraine If Russia Is Able To Break Through The Front Lines Which Is Quite Likely

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Emmanuel Macron has said he would be prepared to send troops to Ukraine if Vladimir Putin’s forces break through the front lines, raising the risk of NATO forces clashing with Russia’s armies.

Emmanuel Macron has been talking tough lately, and if he is not careful he just may get the chance to see how tough France really is. The French military is pretty good as far as Europe goes, constantly ranked in the ‘Big Three’ along with the UK and Germany, but Russia is an anomaly as many leaders like Napoleon and Hitler found out the hard way. Fighting Russia through Ukraine as a proxy is one thing, fighting them head on will be quite another.

“How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!” 2 Samuel 1:27 (KJB)

Russia right now is getting missiles from North Korea, drones from Iran, and a massive amount of technical assistance from China, forming an Axis-type alliance with these shadowy end times nations. Did you know that Vietnam was a proxy war? It sure was. Russia and China backed North Vietnam while the United States backed South Vietnam. Guess who won? It was not the United States who suffered more than 58,000 dead and then was forced to flee as Saigon fell. Proxy wars can have very substantial consequences as Emmanuel Macron may soon be finding out.

Macron vows to send TROOPS to Ukraine if Putin’s forces break through front lines and Zelensky asks for reinforcements

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: In an interview published today, the French president said the issue of sending troops would ‘legitimately’ arise if Kyiv and president Volodymyr Zelensky made such a request. The Economist said Macron gave the interview after delivering a keynote speech last week where he declared that Europe is ‘mortal’ and could ‘die’ partly due to the threat posed by Russian aggression after its February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

It also came as Russia claimed its forces had taken another town in Donetsk, eastern Ukraine, with Moscow’s armies continuing to push against Kyiv’s defences. Russia is rushing to advance against struggling Ukrainian forces ahead of the long-awaited arrival of the bulk of US weapons to the front for Kyiv’s outgunned troops.

‘I’m not ruling anything out, because we are facing someone who is not ruling anything out,’ Macron said when asked if he stood by comments earlier this year not excluding the sending of Western troops that sent shockwaves around Europe.

Such a move would see NATO troops go head-to-head with those in the Russian army, dramatically increasing the risk of an escalation. What’s more, some analysts believe that Russia could be on the verge of launching a major new offensive in Ukraine.

Macron said ‘if Russia decided to go further, we will in any case all have to ask ourselves this question’ of sending troops, describing his refusal to rule out such a move as a ‘strategic wake-up call for my counterparts’.

He described Russia as ‘a power of regional destabilisation’ and ‘a threat to Europeans’ security’.

‘I have a clear strategic objective: Russia cannot win in Ukraine,’ Macron said. ‘If Russia wins in Ukraine, there will be no security in Europe,’ he warned.

‘Who can pretend that Russia will stop there? What security will there be for the other neighbouring countries, Moldova, Romania, Poland, Lithuania and the others?’

Under NATO’s Article 5, all members are obliged to defend others in the case of an armed attack. Should Russia directly attack a NATO member, then the US, the UK, France and Germany are among those who would be expected to respond. Any such conflict risks growing into a global war, the like of which has not been seen since the end of the Second World War. READ MORE

Emmanuel Macron Releases Photo Of Himself Boxing To Signal That He Is ‘Ready For Battle’ Pitting Europe Against Russia In Solidarity With Ukraine

Intimate portraits of Emmanuel Macron boxing have been described as the ultimate show of ‘virility’ as he appears ‘ready for battle’ against Russia

French president Emmanuel Macron, who as you recall, is also the Co-Prince of Andorra, has just sent a message to Vladimir Putin about the Russia Ukraine War. Macron has signaled to Putin and indeed to all Europe, that he is ready to lead them into battle to defend Ukraine. He did this by releasing photos of himself aggressively punching a boxing heavy bag, taken by the official French presidential photographer, in a move some are saying shows Macron is ready for war.

But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.” Daniel 11:38 (KJB)

These boxing photos of Emmanuel Macron by themselves amount to not much more than him indulging in his well-documented narcissistic tendencies. But taken in complete context with the very aggressive pro-war statements he has been making over the past month, now you have something. Not only is Macron on record as saying that ‘European troops should be prepared to fight against Russia in solidarity with Ukraine’, he went on to say that if Europe and the West would not fight for Russia, then they were ‘cowards’. These boxing photos of Macron are funny, funny in the same way that photos of ‘the funny little man with the mustache’ in Germany were funny, right up to the moment that the laughter stopped. Just remember that the last two World Wars started in Europe, spread to Russia, eventually pulling in the United States. WWI killed 20 million with another 20 million wounded, plastic surgery was invented as doctors struggled to deal with the horrific wounds they’d never seen before. WWII killed 55 million, 6 million of which were Jews. Is Macron about to plunge us into WWIII? It’s starting to seem like it.

Macron boxing pictures show he is ‘ready for battle’ against Russia

FROM THE TELEGRAPH UK: Soazig de la Moissonnière, the official presidential photographer, released two black and white images of a sweaty French president hitting a punch bag in a gym on Instagram. They showed him with bulging biceps as he struck the bag with gritted teeth and veins protruding.

Nice-Matin, a regional French daily newspaper, said the images conveyed a message of “ultimate virility” that brought to mind those of a bare-chested Vladimir Putin practising judo or riding a horse.

CNews said Mr Macron appeared “ready for battle, his gaze fixed on the punching bag as if determined to beat his opponents”.

“With his features drawn, his muscles bulging and his teeth clenched, the president looks like a real warrior. A situation that echoes the tense news of recent days,” it said.

That was a nod to Mr. Macron’s apparent shift from dove to hawk regarding his stance to the war in Ukraine, urging NATO not to rule out deploying troops on the ground.

“Perhaps at some point – I don’t want it and I won’t take the initiative – we will have to have ground operations…to counter the Russian forces,” he told Le Parisien over the weekend. READ MORE

As Emmanuel Macron Says EU Troops May Fight Against Russia For Ukraine, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen Says ‘Prepare For War’

French president Emmanuel Macron says European troops should be prepared to fight against Russia in solidarity with Ukraine

When will the war between Russia and Ukraine come to an end? Not anytime soon. 4 days ago marked the 2-year anniversary of the day that Putin sent Russian troops to move against Ukraine, the largest attack on any European nation since the end of WWII. October 7th was the largest attack against the Jews since WWII, anyone else seeing where this all might be heading? If you guessed all this is presaging WWIII, congratulations.

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJB)

And of course, we have our buddy Emmanuel Macron in the thick of it all, as usual, this time raising support for the idea of European troops on the ground alongside Ukraine to fight against Russia. Unthinkable, you say? Not by a long shot, it’s not only probable, it’s likely. Ask Solomon, he knows.

Ursula von der Leyen warns EU states ‘should be prepared for risks of war’ and need to ‘urgently’ rebuild their armed forces – after Emmanuel Macron refused to rule out sending troops to Ukraine

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: Ursula von der Leyen has warned that EU states ‘should be prepared for the risks of war’ and need to ‘urgently’ rebuild their armed forces after Macron refused to rule out sending troops to Ukraine.

The European Commission President said the threat of war for the EU ‘may not be imminent, but it is not impossible. The risks of war should not be overblown, but they should be prepared for and that starts with the urgent need to rebuild, replenish, modernize member states’ armed forces,’ she said.

Her comments come after French president Emmanuel Macron warned that while there was ‘no consensus’ on the sending of Western troops to Ukraine, ‘nothing should be excluded’ following a meeting of two dozen European leaders in Paris.

This caused a worrying reaction by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who said if NATO members sent their troops to fight in Ukraine, ‘we would need to talk not about the probability, but about the inevitability (of a direct conflict)’.

Getting involved in the war in Ukraine with boots on the ground would break a major taboo the West has so far been reluctant to challenge – until now, NATO members have only supplied weapons to the Ukrainian army.

While French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal reaffirmed Macron’s comments saying: ‘You can’t rule anything out in a war,’ Downing Street said there were no plans for ‘large-scale’ troop deployment to Ukraine.

A NATO official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, also emphasised ‘there are no plans for NATO combat troops on the ground in Ukraine’ despite the ‘unprecedented military support’ from the alliance. READ MORE

French President Emmanuel Macron announced Monday new steps to boost Ukraine in its fight against the Russian invasion, saying not even the sending of Western ground troops was ruled out to achieve Europe’s goal of defeating Moscow.
