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 Met With Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas In Paris To Discuss The “Full Implementation” Of US-Brokered Gaza Peace Plan

French President Emmanuel Macron met with Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas in Paris to discuss the “full implementation” of the Gaza ceasefire agreement

Just the other day, I remarked on how quiet Emmanuel Macron has been lately while the world has had their eyes firmly glued to the ever-evolving saga of the Epstein Files and the latest Trump incendiary tweets. As it turns out, Macron has been a busy little boy, meeting with Mahmoud Abbas to create a panel to draft a new Constitution of Palestine. A state of Palestine is absolutely coming, your King James Bible tells you so. That’s the memo.

“Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;” Joel 3:4 (KJB)

On one side, you have who we say is the biblical man of sin, Emmanuel Macron, and he’s working tirelessly to create a state of Palestine. On the other side, you have Donald Trump in America, who more and more people are starting to think just might be the Antichrist, getting unanimous approval from the UN Security Council to implement his ‘Board of Peace’ plan for Gaza, So it begs the questions, are we about to see two opposing visions for Gaza and a battle of wills  to see who gets the job done first, or, will we witness a stunning merger of forces between Macron and Trump to remake Gaza in their own images? Never, ever a dull moment on the front lines of the end times.

France, Palestinian Authority announce joint panel to draft new Palestine constitution

FROM FRANCE 24: After the meeting, Macron announced that France would launch a joint committee with the Palestinian Authority to draw up a new Palestinian constitution.

“We decided together to establish a joint committee for the consolidation of the state of Palestine,” Macron said, adding that it would “contribute to drawing up a new constitution, a draft of which president Abbas presented to me”.

Abbas said he agreed “to the swift establishment of the constitutional committee”.

Their meeting comes a month into a fragile truce between Hamas and Israel, following two years of war triggered by the Palestinian militant group’s October 7, 2023 attack against Israel. Abbas, 89, is the long-time head of the Palestinian Authority, which exercises limited control over parts of the West Bank and is being considered to assume governance in Gaza under the deal.

The two leaders also discussed Israeli plans for annexation in the West Bank, which Macron described as a “red line”.

“Plans for partial or total annexation, whether legal or de facto, constitute a red line to which we will respond strongly with our European partners,” the French president said. “The violence of the settlers and the acceleration of settlement projects are reaching new heights, threatening the stability of the West Bank and constitute violations of international law,” Macron added.

Brokered by US President Donald Trump, the October 10 ceasefire has been tested by fresh Israeli strikes and claims of Palestinian attacks on Israeli soldiers. Trump said last week he expected an International Stabilisation Force tasked with monitoring the ceasefire to be in Gaza “very soon”. The meeting also followed Macron’s decision in September to recognise a Palestinian state at a United Nations summit – a move the Palestinian Authority hailed as “historic and courageous”. READ MORE

President Trump Makes Himself The Chairman Of The ‘Middle East Board Of Peace’ As Emmanuel Macron Percolates In The Background With Two State Solution

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

President Trump has made himself the head of his Gaza ‘Board of Peace’ in the Middle East with Emmanuel Macron sniffing at the back door to get in.

Behold the era of the ‘peace president’ and the arrival of an historic ear of peace in the Middle East. At least that’s what we’re being told we’re seeing. Remember, we’re also being told that we’re living in a ‘golden age’ of prosperity even though it doesn’t feel that way at the gas pump, grocery store or in your wallet. President Trump is creating a ‘Board of Peace’ with himself as the head of it, leaving Emmanuel Macron like a dog at the back door barking to get in. But don’t worry, he’ll get in.

“There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.” Isaiah 57:21 (KJB)

All of this could easily fade away like frost on an early morning windshield after the car is started, which honestly is a likely scenario. But on the other hand, this is Day 2,038 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, and literally anything could happen. One thing is for sure, the Middle East took a significant and startling turn 5 years ago with the launch of the Abraham Accords, and it is currently undergoing a similar change right now. And speaking of that, could the Abraham Accords actually be the covenant that will be confirmed by Antichrist? More and more it’s certainly starting to look like that.

Trump sets sights on peace with Iran as he hails ‘end of Gaza war’

FROM THE GUARDIAN UK: In a speech to the Israeli Knesset, made hours after the last remaining Israeli hostages were released from Gaza, Trump hailed the “historic dawn of a new Middle East” and an end to the “long and painful nightmare” of the Gaza war.

“This is not only the end of war – this is the end of an age of terror and death,” the US president said. “Israel, with our help, has won all that it can by force of arms. Now it’s time to translate those victories against terrorists on the battlefield into the ultimate prize of peace and prosperity for the entire Middle East.”

A confident Trump predicted: “Gaza will be demobilised, Hamas will be disarmed, and Israel’s security will no longer be threatened.”

Trump also indicated he was going to put pressure on Arab states to sign the Abraham accords “quickly and without games”. The accords require Arab states to recognise Israel. Iran, he insisted, was also ready for peace. Trump insisted he would play his part in the future of Palestine by chairing the board of peace that will supervise the vast reconstruction programme and oversee a largely Palestinian technocratic government. He added that he wanted Sisi to sit on the board, but said he was testing opinion in the region to see if there was support for Sir Tony Blair to be on it as well.

Donald Trump has vowed to use the power of his presidency to ensure that Israel recognizes it has achieved “all that it can by force of arms”, and begin an age of cooperation in the Middle East that may ultimately extend as far as peace with Iran. Trump, for the first time in eight years, met with the Palestinian National Authority president, Mahmoud Abbas, shaking his hand and giving a thumbs up sign. Only a fortnight ago, Trump had banned Abbas from New York and the UN general assembly.

French President Emmanuel Macron, one of the politicians most involved in keeping the two-state solution alive, said on arriving in Egypt that Abbas’s attendance “was a very good signal … It’s a recognition of the role the Palestinian Authority has to play as a legitimate entity”.

“On the questions of governance, we will have a particular role to be by the side of the Palestinian Authority and to ensure it plays its part, and also that it conducts reforms for the day after.” The authority has promised to hold presidential and parliamentary elections within a year.

Macron also called for the position of the West Bank, which is the subject of accelerated settlements by Israel, not to be forgotten and for continuing efforts to create a formal Palestinian state alongside Israel.

We must “make the connection between Gaza and the West Bank” and “ensure that there is a path to two states, the only political perspective that truly allows for lasting peace,” Macron said.

On the security front, Macron indicated that the Europeans would “step up” the training of Palestinian police officers in Gaza, but that France would not participate directly in the stabilisation force that is to be put in place.

There is a “consensus” to have “especially regional forces and perhaps contributions from certain countries like Indonesia,” he said. These countries, however, are asking that this be done within an “international framework” – that is, at the UN. France will also co-organise a conference on humanitarian aid to Gaza with Egypt, which it will host “in the coming weeks,” Macron also specified. READ MORE

Watch as Hillary Clinton praises Trump for Middle East Peace Plan

Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice, two former secretaries of state, say that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff’s success in negotiating a Gaza ceasefire is partly due to their proximity to President Trump and the changing circumstances in the Middle East after Israel’s attack in Doha, Qatar. CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell spoke to Rice and Clinton about the developments in Gaza.

MAN OF THE HOUR: Thanks To Emmanuel Macron, 157 Member Nations Of The United Nations Have Now Recognized Palestine As A Sovereign State

‘In the interest of peace’: global leader Emmanuel Macron recognizes Palestinian state at UN summit as he gets the big win he was looking for

Emmanuel Macron came to the UN General Assembly today looking for a much-needed political win, and he got it in a big way. Thanks to his relentless efforts to create a state of Palestine by the sheer force of his own will, the number of UN member nations now stands at 157, and it’s quite possible that that number will be higher when all the dust settles. Nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize? Absolutely. Actually winning the prize? Highly, highly likely, (sorry, President Trump) and that’s the memo.

For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.” Revelation 17:17 (KJB)

In doing what he was able to do today, Emmanuel Macron has now firmly set himself up as a global leader that other nations are willing to follow. I would imagine that he is already planning his next move after his second term as president of France starts winding down. Secretary General of the United Nations would be just thing for such a man, don’t you agree? Once recognition of a state of Palestine hits 160, the momentum will be virtually unstoppable. Almost there, almost Home.

‘The beginning of a process’: Western countries recognize Palestinian state at UNGA

“It is the beginning of a renewed commitment to hope, a commitment to diplomacy, to dialogue, to coexistence, and a two-state solution. To the idea fragile, but still possible, that peace can prevail,” Luxembourg’s Prime Minister Luc Frieden said at UNGA. “The effective conduct of diplomatic relations with the new state of Palestine, including the opening of Belgian embassy and the conclusion of international agreements, will be carried out once the objectives of the New York Declaration have been achieved,” Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever said.

Jordan’s King Abdullah II praised Western countries’ recognition of Palestine in his address to the UNGA

“Today, the world has taken an important step toward achieving a just and inclusive peace. This global consensus on a two-state solution sends a message that the conflict must end and that the two-state solution is the only viable resolution,” the Jordanian leader said.

Emmanuel Macron laid out some details of the peace plan France is advancing in parallel to its recognition of a Palestinian state. He urged Israel not to take further actions that thwart the effort and stressed that it will include the dismantlement of Hamas. He said an International Stabilization Force (ISF) will assist in that effort and in preparing the Palestinian Authority to take over governance in the Gaza Strip. The Times of Israel revealed the proposal earlier Monday.
