France is done. One writer claimed France was in a slow-motion collapse, and my view is that France is doomed, and that doom is unstoppable, and they deserve it. It seems to me in all its history France has had only two great leaders. Charles Martel who saved Europe from the Muslim invasion, and Napoleon; and he was and Corsican Italian.
I have a three-part series on Europe’s looming fiscal collapse (see here, here, and here). Based on this data from Robin Brooks, the crisis will likely start in France (it’s a bad sign when the light blue line is above the dark line). So what should be done about this seemingly inevitable fiscal crisis?
The easy answer is not to repeat the mistakes of the past. More specifically, don’t bail out profligate governments. No bailouts from the IMF. No bailouts from Brussels. And no bailouts from the European Central Bank (ECB). As I wrote about Greece back in 2010, I think bankruptcy and default is a preferable approach. And, back in 2018, when I speculated that Italy would be the first debt domino, one of my recommendations was a no-bailout policy............
For what it’s worth, I issued the same warning back in 2011. Sadly, the current head of the ECB is both incompetent and statist, so I’m not very hopeful for a good outcome. P.S. While the European Central Bank has a bad track record, let’s not overlook the pernicious role of the International Monetary Fund. If we want to stop bailouts, we have to worry about both the ECB and IMF.
And truth be told, it won't matter whether they get the bail outs or not, France is representative of the dangers of a massive socialist welfare state. They're doomed economically, culturally, socially and ethnically as the native French population is on pace to become a minority by 2050 at current rates of migration. I think that's going to happen whether they restrict immigration or not as Muslims are disproportionately out breeding ethnic Europeans.
French Defeat - France—long the self-proclaimed guardian of high culture, of cathedrals and Cartesian clarity, of Enlightenment rationality and the moral vocabulary of Christian inheritance—now confronts scenes of disorder that would have been unthinkable to its earlier custodians. In the streets of its cities, young cohorts drawn largely from Muslim immigrant communities assert themselves with a confidence born of demographic momentum and ideological certainty. The response of the governing class under Emmanuel Macron has been a studied detachment—the sociological equivalent of what clinical psychiatry once termed belle indifference, the serene unconcern of the hysteric in the face of symptoms that disrupt ordinary life. This posture, cultivated since the retreat from North Africa, has allowed the progressive erosion of the nation’s historic cultural core while elites congratulated themselves on their openness and compassion toward the cultures of the world...... |
President Emmanuel Macron showed up at the UN and rather than mentioning the murder of one of his citizens or any of the core issues France is suffering from, such as illegal mass migration, went on a rant about Israel, claiming that Israel was engaged in a “shameful spectacle” in Judea and Samaria, which he called the West Bank, and claiming that it was needless because Hamas was not active in the West Bank. Not only was Macron lying, but Hamas has just murdered a French citizen and father of six in the West Bank.
Here's the level of violence going on in France the police can't control that's costing France million of dollars they don't have, overwhelming their justice system.

This is a civil war and anyone who stands against the suicidal actions of the French government elite has to be punished, like this French military priest who called upon "men of faith to prevent the French people from being replaced", with the globalists running France calling his speech racist and seditious and implying he should be imprisoned for daring to state the obvious, along with any solider who agreed with him. But he isn't alone.
49 per cent, of the French public would support the military intervening to restore order and safety in France, even without government orders to do so, according to a poll conducted by Harris Interactive. The polling was released on Thursday in response to a letter signed by 20 former French generals and an estimated 1,000 former and active-duty military members who denounced growing insecurity and Islamism in France and warned of potential civil war and military intervention.........It also found that 74 per cent agreed that “anti-racism” activism had caused the opposite effect of what was expected.........
In a letter by Marine Le Pen she has "invited former military officials to join her movement after they signed a letter denouncing Islamism and rising crime and warned of potential civil war in France. The letter, which was signed by 20 former generals, including the former Commandant of the French Foreign Legion Christian Piquemal, called on President Emmanuel Macron to defend patriotism in France"
Anti-government students and Antifa left wing extremists rioters originating in France have spread to Belgium, "sparking violent clashes with police in Brussels and Liège", and one has to wonder how long before this spreads over all of western Europe.
Well, we can stop wondering, as here's an update that appeared today, Yellow Vests Return as French Protests Spread and Macron’s Crisis Deepens, saying:
An uncomfortable reality is setting in for French elites: throwing more money at handouts and degrading services, on top of mass migration, has been a toxic progressive experiment that appears to be unraveling at the seams. As Macron and his globalist buddies lose control of France, unrest has spread to other corners of the bloc, including Spain, Italy, Albania, and Belgium.
I'm betting we're going to see a lot of ethnic Europeans begging to be allowed to immigrate to the U.S., and I'm willing to say ...... no! In spite of all the warnings they snickered, snorted, sneered and looked down their self-righteous virtue signalling noses at those who issued those warnings. We already have too many leftists losers that were born here, so let them live with the consequences. Schadenfreude!
I think of her as the Actress, who auditioned for the job, but is really just a social(ist) media influencer. Turkish born Cenk Uygur (Hasan Piker’s uncle) helped to launch the Actress’s career. They used her as the face of the Green New Deal, which brought the spotlight on the Actress.
As we have seen, she is basically an ignorant script reader and unable to discuss serious topics without a script. Like Biden playing the role of Grandpa, the Actress plays the role of the ingenue, the Bronx-born daughter of hardworking Puerto Ricans. Her role could be a musical production like West Side Story or a TV show called Sandy in New York City. I doubt her Hollywood-style star machine persona will play that well outside of NY.
