“Douce France, cher pays de mon enfance” – so goes the song [Sweet France, dear country of my infancy]. I did not grow up in France, but at times I feel as If I did, for I know her well.
I can daydream about any town or village in the “France profonde”, and think of the lines,
“On marche sur un mur de pierres, un petit pont est devant nous
Dessous passe une rivière, couleur de pluie, souffle d’antan”
[Walking on a stone wall, a small bridge ahead
Below a river, the color of rain, the breath of yesteryear]
And all this beyond and besides Paris, the cathedrals, the history, the people, the writers, the painters, the literature, the movies, the artists, “les philosophes” and “la Rive Gauche.”
Therefore, when I hear or read that Macron – the universally predicted next president of France – claims that “There is no such a thing as French culture,” I feel lost in the labyrinth of my fury, however helpless and irrelevant to the world at large, my fury may be.
Yet, the idea that “there is no French culture,” is plain evidence that we already live in-and-within the “new world order.”
For after the end of history, even semantics were put up for sale, and the meaning of words offered to the highest bidder. So, for example, Britain’s “New Labour” or Hollande’s “socialism” are no more “labour” or “socialist” than a dung beetle. New labour means new serfdom and Hollande’s socialism is bovine excretion. And, as we know, the “new world order” means the elimination of nations and of national languages, and the creation of one race of people looking like Egyptians in the paintings of the Pyramids. It is not an exaggeration, but the printed and published plan of Coudeneuve-Kalergy, the founder of the European Union.
But perhaps there is one even more striking lexical dyslexia, though as yet barely noticed. In France but not only, the true Fascists are now the Antifascists.
Apparently, the French people are neither astonished nor repelled by the wide extent of barren sterility of the present and recent regimes. Rather, they are seemingly bursting away, with resistless impetuosity, in their eagerness to defeat Macron’s “populist” opponent.
Untired by the uniformity of treason practiced on them, they are ready to extend it, under the direction of a new man, famous for being unknown, a protégé of the Talmudist Jacques Attali, and a Rothschild creature (nomen omen). An expert in international commercial and banking treaties, whose aim, acknowledged at large, is only to deceive, and whose consequences are only to defraud.
He is a partisan of the world-order of proud selfishness and ruthless exploitation, a serviceable butler of masonic power, a master of disaster capitalism, deriving pecuniary advantages from the calamity of others or even their death, as it was (is) clearly the case with the destruction of Libya, Syria, Iraq, etc.
And, of course, a darling of the financial cabal, for which a more fitting term is ‘financial dome.’
For in the financial dome there is a coincidence of interests between and among economy, finance, official and criminal enterprises, mob, crime, gangs, cliques, politicians, terrorists, warmongers, marauders and plunderers. Where ‘dome,’ a metaphor mediated from architecture, perfectly conveys the sense of a comprehensive protective environment. An environment that erases the very notion of crime, and makes it a property indistinguishable and consubstantial with the business of living.
From what we can infer from his program, or lack thereof, Macron, like his repugnant predecessor, promises the right to a dreamless sleep and unredeemed subordination, in exchange for obedience and the obligation to conform.
For the essence of neo-liberal capitalism is the generation of discontent and fear. And it is only natural that discontent preys on the heart in which fear confines it. The remedies being drugs (euphemistically called “recreational”), when not suicide.
On the “allegro ma non troppo” side of things – of Macron’s wife’s sons, one is older than her husband and the two others are coeval.
This, however, will no doubt gain him favor among women disappointed with expensive cosmetics that promise but fail to restore the bloom of fifteen to ladies of fifty or more.
The word is out, ladies, “age will not wither you, nor custom stale your infinite variety…” Be on the lookout. A prime minister or a president may be at hand, just around the corner.
And as with the American media during the recent presidential elections, the French media is kindling the heat of competition, berating Macron’s opponent and extolling the virtues of the new star in the French political Empyrean.
It is certain that the senses are more powerful as the reason is weaker; and he whose ears convey little to his mind, may sometimes listen with his eyes, till truth may gradually take possession of his heart.
If this be true… the sight of France simmering in an undeclared civil war between Frenchmen and the biblical swarm of migrants – with the occasional blood bath of civilians, courtesy of migrant terrorists – should prompt citizens at large to side with anyone who, at least, promises to do something about it.
And even accounting for the media’s relentless indoctrination, we may expect that the masses, after 30 years of worldwide Reagan-Thatcherism and neoliberal economics, could have understood its philosophy in action.
Namely that one desire easily gives way to another, as a second stone cast into the water effaces and confounds the circles of the first. Until the feudal dwellers of the above-mentioned ‘dome’ will have everything, live without work and leave what unavoidable and poorly-paid tasks there are to the serfs, or their equivalent, as in the following case.
By tradition, two Universities challenged each other every year in a rowing competition. University A had lost the two preceding races against University B. Whereupon, the Dean of A decided to apply, to the sportsmen of his team, such latest managerial techniques as would no doubt secure the success of his University.
To this effect, he dedicated a substantial budget to the project and secured the services of a Consultancy Firm, founded by some past alumni.
The two teams trained hard, and team A benefited from the re-organization and deployment of the new methods. But in the next race, team B won again, leaving team A three quarters of a mile behind.
Shocked by the result, the Dean of University A, his Consultants and A’s management team met in full to examine the causes of the failure.
They then appointed an investigative panel, composed of senior managers. The panel discovered that team A included one coxswain, five quality consultants and one oarsman, whereas team B consisted of one coxswain and eight oarsmen.
To ensure victory in the next race, University A‘s decision-making group, hired an outside firm of high-level experts, charged to analyze in depth the causes of the previous failures and correct them.
The new experts proposed a complete re-organization of boat A.
As a first step they created and published a “quality manual,” including procedures for the application of the instructions, performance-monitoring and feedback.
The new strategy aimed at a “strong synergy,” a theme-word the experts declared central for establishing the winning mindset.
The synergetic strategy would improve the productivity-output, thanks to key structural modifications. Concepts and words like ‘Zero Tolerance for Error’ and ‘Total Quality” were promoted and introduced in the parlance of team A. Reluctance to adopt the new terminology would indicate a propensity to error and loss in efficiency.
Now team A would comprise: one general director of rowing, one associate director of rowing, one rowing supervisor, one quality consultant, one management monitor, one information officer, one coxswain and one rower.
The rower was requested to produce an activity report after every twenty oar-strokes. Moreover, the strategy included an evaluation-and-feedback meeting after every mile.
The day of the race arrived. This time team A finished 2 miles behind the winning boat of team B – which persisted in operating with one coxswain and eight rowers.
The dean of University A and the consultants were profoundly affected by the outcome and took a decision, which, in the University Journal was described as “logical and courageous.”
Since he did not meet his objectives, the rower was fired. The college sold the boat and canceled the program, as well as the additional investments already budgeted for the re-organization.
With the money saved, the dean renovated and refurbished his office, the director of the consulting firm gave a generous bonus to managers and supervisors, increased the salaries of the directors and assigned to himself a special indemnity for “completion of mission.”
The anecdote may be amusing, but it stigmatizes the invasion of the professional and political world by engineering concepts and terminology originally applied to machines.
And although the philosophy was born in the US, the tale is a summary of the paradoxes and absurdities frequently found in the Western political and working world. They are often repeated, as if the consequences and the moral, implicit in the anecdote but extensible at large, were hidden, unreadable, inaudible or undetectable.
We can but think of the European Union, with its tens of thousands of highly paid employees, operating out of huge buildings in Brussels and Strasbourg, veritable temples of superfluity. A colossal extra expense for each European government, and an entity whose objective is seemingly waste and whose existence is anything but indispensable.
Returning to France, when the super-centric Macron says that “there is no such thing as French culture” he refers to a program already in action. Where the “Center” has and will assimilate the entire nation, which is historically marvelously complex, rich in original cultures, customs and traditions.
The “Center” has imposed its models, willed at first by the new industrial matrix, but now more and more the products of obscure and deadly operations of financial and social engineering.
Even so, the new “Center” is no longer satisfied with a “man who also consumes.” It cannot accept any ideology other than consumption. It’s a new Fascism, a hedonism without soul, a religion without Gods a vacuum of humanistic values.
In the process, the old “paleo-industrial” bourgeoisie has been replaced by a new bourgeoisie, which includes almost inevitably the working classes of old. With the end result that the bourgeoisie is the new humanity, with a frightful interchangeability of meaning and substance.
The “lefts,” of the Western world have accepted the transformation, for the alternative was the exclusion from the playfield and its associated emoluments. But in so doing they have joined the new Fascism.
It is a ferocious ideology. We can call it “Center”, neo-liberal, neo-liberalism, neo-capitalism, but for the average man it means nothing – as if it were nameless. He perceives that ideology as the actual reality – therefore he does not recognize it for what it is, the uncontested will of a few imposed on the life of all others.
Which is why we are forced to live in a world where antagonism and hostility are the defining characteristics of human relations, where citizens are consumers, disheartened and caged in an unnatural captivity, where the market is the only possible democracy.
The foundation of the legitimacy of power is one of the great unresolved questions of capitalist society. According to its own ideology, the most able should always have unrestricted access to the positions of power. Liberal ideology implies a meritocracy and this, in turn, means that the best should win. (Which is anything but true, as per the blog/dialog “Basket of Deplorables” – http://wp.me/p2e0kb-21R)
The ideal vision of a society of free and equal citizens might have contained a germ of truth at some peculiar points in history. But as society ages – and this is particularly true of capitalist society – positions of power and the modalities by which they are exercised tend to become increasingly and eventually completely predetermined. Power is exercised through institutions, following predetermined procedures, and those responsible for its exercise are themselves no more than the servants of a grey and slimy apparatus. They impersonate an impersonal, bureaucratized and transcendent power – look at the EU and the ‘dome’ I referred to earlier.
In turn, the bureaucratization of power induces an institutional sclerosis. It is no longer people who have power, it’s the positions of power that have their people. Such a society leaves no room for outsiders, be they adventurers, fearless Don Quixotes or imaginarians thinking outside the box.
Success belongs to careerists, to those who have followed the paths and attended schools that equip them with the personality, quirks, manners and social skills fitting the functions that look for people to fill them.
And when someone, however feebly, attempts to say something different, the ‘dome’ declares war on him/her. We saw it with Trump – though by now it seems clear that he was a scam, a Disney production based on illusions and special effects. In imitation of many before him, he shoots missiles, launches drones, kills people and beats his chest like a cartoon gorilla. To the point that some are beginning to waver in their faith, and hold opinion with Pythagoras, that souls of animals infuse themselves into the trunks of men.
Marine LePen says something different and is of a very different mold than the likes of Trump. Fighting her with all their might are the “Centrists,” the new Fascists of the left and, of course the mainstream media, completely owned by we know who, organ and blow-horn of the ‘dome.’
She has some good ideas, on the absurdity of the European Union, the fraud of the Euro, the value of intelligent national pride, the contemptible servility to the US of the last French governments in joining the imposed chorus of Russophobia. But, as we know, good counsel is only thrown away upon those who are full of their own perfections.
The result of the French presidential elections will tell us how far and how deeply the ideology of dis-humanity has brainwashed the people of what is and still remains our “Douce France.”
(“Douce France” sung by Charles Trenet)
This should be shared everywhere.
A marvellous summation of the malaise du jour – Thank you Mr. Moglia!
This back and forth analyzing and complaining about the electoral candidates in the so called “democratic elections” of the Western countries is becoming almost too painful to read.
Pages and pages are being typed about leftist, rightist, libertarian, liberal, conservative, neo-conservative, nationalist, fascist, extreme-right, new-right, new-left, left-left, left-toe, right-pinky finger, on and on and on.
Do you not realize all of them are functioning within the same Godless, criminal, unjust economic monetary system ?
Do you not know the bankers and banking families are laughing at all of you ?
Do you not realize in the West that you are now living in an experiment that is about to end ?
An experiment that has only laste a few decades, and that prior to this current experiment, you were part of an experiment where millions of people were massacred in the biggest slaughter in the history of mankind (World Wars).
Do you not realize that a few Zionist Jews and their slaves control your entire economic monetary system in the West, in the East and everywhere in between ?
The entire political system on the planet of nation states as we know it is based on the global economic monetary system.
Where are the politicians, academics and people of faith who are speaking against this system ?
Any country who tries to leave this system is destroyed……We pray to the All Mighty God, that he may destroy the people who put up this system, who control it, and who destroy others who try to leave this system. May they destroy themselves and eat each-other alive.
May God almighty rid us of this most evil, corrupt and unjust experiment the planet has ever witnessed.
So, reading your comment suggests to me that your solution to this malaise you describe, rather than accepting the agency of man and his ability to control his own destiny and that of others (at least to some degree), is to deny the agency of man and appeal to a higher power to fix all of the problems man has created.
Are you serious champ?
Your solution to the problems we all face is to pray?
Can you please explain to me what makes you so special that a so-called higher power will hear your wails and intervene on account of your calls to prayer?
Which higher deity is it that you call upon anyway?
Well, the higher deity has given Man some prescriptions on how to behave.
For instance to use something of intrinsic value for economic transactions and to avoid usury. But in his arrogance, Man thought better and decided to use ‘fractional reserve banking’ allowing bankers to make money out of nothing. Then Man’s cleverness allowed him to charge interest on the ‘money’ lent opening the way for financial manipulation and rent-seeking. What’s the biggest economic event in the US? The event anxiously awaited by the world’s government treasurers? The event that will literally determine who prospers and who dies around the world? That’s right –the Fed’s announcement on interest rates.
And yes, Champ, prayer helps. It helps Man to see clearly.
Well Julian, not that God is likely to become enmeshed in our current earthly fiasco, but what’s your plan? It seems to me that we’re all pretty much aware at this point that something is very wrong. We here continued analysis (mostly correct) in the blogosphere about the adverse state of things, but no solutions are put forth – aside from the Saker recently with this post – /how-to-bring-down-the-elephant-in-the-room/. So why criticize the otherwise excellent points Anonymous made without offering corrective measures of your own? What’s your plan bro?
Exactly. The whole world and not just the West have been caught in a trap weaved via an usurious, immoral, pernicious and rapacious international financial system. The global political system is a charade, designed to give people the illusion that they are in charge of their lives when actually they are not.
At least one or two people in the West have now got round to seeing the scam for what it is: a massive fraudulent global financial system which is enslaving the whole of mankind.
This retired (as they invariably are) US government official writes: ‘One of my projects at the U.S. Treasury Department was to develop and teach training courses on the history of U.S. government finance. My research showed that in American history, the type of financial system based on central banking controlled by private interests used to be known as the “Jewish system.” ‘
A bit too late for the Syrians, Palestinians, Greeks, Africans, Indians, Venezuelans, Brazilians, etc and perhaps even the French, but if not anything else, they’ve at least got round to mentioning the Tribe.

God helps you if you make the first step. I agree with your feelings, I am in the same way disappointed but I still have hope that people will wake up till is not too late. I cannot imagine that the machinery of the Empire is perfect, without cracks in the wheels. Oh yeah, we can see them already. The bad thing is, that those who see it are not enough to make a change. The good thing is, once the crack is there, the machinery will crash. They will do that with big noise. The noise is already mounting through their voices full of hysteria and blatant lies, the pressure is growing and the time is coming when they cannot stop the tide.
Nice comment and you are correct. There are answers, but they are painfully few. “Revolution” is not a viable option at this point and most of the world is tired of constant bloodshed. “Counter-economics” (as I have now coined it) is one option, but it would take a well-organized front.
You didn’t coin that, sorry.
revolution cannot ever be an option. Option in the context of revolution is an oxymoron.
Revolutions happen when things have changed enough that matters necessary to humans cannot continue except through new methods.
Change creates revolution. Every time.
Now then, friend, is change an option?
Try the “option” of stopping change?
How? That’s right. You can’t.
“Options” exist in small matters only, and these, in war (and there is always war) sometimes have large effect. These effects, however, cannot be predicted…hence change creates revolutions faster, generally, when the war creates greater changes, and faster changes, and amplifies the effects of small “options” in ways no-one can anticipate very well.
You wanna stop war? Be nice. You can’t know if that will work, it’s a small matter, a small “option”, but it’s a good bet that being mean will make revolution, and war, worse.

A decade or more of media brainwashing and austerity (where employment is no longer a right but a ‘gift’) created an individual which is scared of changes which might go wrong.
The ones which vote Macron in May (with the usual exception of the ‘idiots’ which like him) are scared of Le Pen’s ideas (Get out of the EU, the Euro, NATO).
Let’s be honest: Le Pen does not have a team which guarantees that such big changes (and confronting Germany’s might) can actually succeed.
The average scared and possibly anxious voter might vote for Macron, thinking that ‘not rocking the boot’ now and kick it to the future might be the only solution.
I know this is wrong, but there is all this daily noise, ad nauseam, from the media making you feel a paria if you flirt with the idea of change.
Guessing from last election: France has 40% of willing revolutionaries (Melanchon and Le Pen). Close to 30% are sadly brainwashed (politically correct) Macronists and the other 30% still has to see the light…
Cheers from the south of France.
“Let’s be honest: Le Pen does not have a team which guarantees that such big changes (and confronting Germany’s might) can actually succeed.”
Confronting Germany’s might? Are the problems in France somehow Germany’s fault? Is that how most French people think? That mindset is so early 20th century thinking. I only see German companies competing against French ones for business in eastern Europe and elsewhere. Why should the French people care what Germans do as long as they leave France alone?
There has always been French envy of Germany’s success. The Germans work very hard. If the French really wanted to compete with the Germans, they would have allowed the Alsace-Lorraine region to be 100% French/German bilingual. Doing so would have made it easier for the French people to import German technology and know-how and to facilitate an easier transfer of French cultural values east of the Rhine….
All French companies will either be owned by the Americans or the Chinese. I would wager that the Chinese will eventually own everything in France:

The eu is the americanization of europe, a process of instituting conformity and subservience within a simplified cultural context, which the capitalist right (fascists) successfully brought about in the usa many decades ago.
Americanization through proxies: Europe by Germany and Asia by Japan. A post WWII design which seems to work in Europe, but not in Asia.

News of another ‘top down colour revolution’ from the ‘covert satanists’ …
Firstly, we’re witnessing in France under occupation another cursory ‘reshuffle of the deckchairs on the Titanic’ organised by the motley CIA/National Endowment for Democracy line-up. Theoretically, the process is called the French Presidential Election. Short of a miracle – ie an upsurge of patriotism – which I’m not excluding (Cf. Brexit) – Emmanuel Macron, will be installed as François Hollande’s continuity candidate. If that happens, the real fun and games will start. As the results of the soon-to-follow Legislative Elections may oblige the new French head of state to govern by decree.
The first two links immediately below – in French – show how, in 2012, the oligarchy’s replacement for France’s extraodinarily unpopular socialist president featured in an email sent to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Strangely, at the time, the former Rothschild investment banker was but a junior member of the Elysée staff.
There can only be one plausible explanation for this occurrence and the subsequent meteoric rise to public prominence of a political nobody. He is the protégé of Talmudist Banker Jacques Attali, the founder of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) whose presidency he was forced to resign in 1993 after damaging disclosures about him and his gravy train lifestyle at the summit of a finance house now mired in accusations if corruption and of sponsoring environmental harmful projects, notably in eastern Europe.
No gnome of Zurich, this personnalité pied-noire is more a mercantile djinn from North Africa, whence his family fled from war torn Algiers to Paris in 1956. Since 2012, alongside his many business associates in The City and Wall Atreet and their shills in Washington, Tel Aviv and Paris, he has been grooming for presidential status, the snotty little nerd from Amiens. Political outcast, former sous-préfet de Saintes and outspoken critic of Israel and the Jewish lobby, Bruno Guigue has hit the nail on the head with his witty observations on the PR campaign behind the brand image of this freshly minted télé-évangeliste, by likening him to an ad for Johnson’s baby powder and nicknaming him le bébé Cadum de la finance.
The snag is that for all his psychobabble plagiarising Dan Senor, suggesting a millenial France should become a ‘start-up’ nation (I kid you not) the ‘Jewish bubble experience’ has burst and news of this sordid little arrangement – involving scads of ‘masonic handshakes’ – is all over the internet. What’s more a promising anti-Macron alliance has now been forged between Marine Le Pen and an erstwhile political rival, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan of the souverainiste and gaulliste party Debout la France.
The heavy-handed treatment by the mainstream media of this ménage-à-deux will alienate many voters. Another link below concerns Moscow’s withering rebuttal of a French ‘intelligence’ bid to incriminate Bashar al-Assad in the Khan Sheikhoun incident. Russia’s foreign ministry ridicules France’s lack of professionalism.
All of which bodes well for us as the same can be said of Macron’s amateurish advocacy of ‘third way’ unfettered capitalism. Shades of Tony Blair. After which the most popular motto is increasingly : once bitten twice shy.

If you are of a nervous disposition, what follows will make your hair stand on end. Ronald Bernard is from the Netherlands and a former currency trader. In a long interview for the online media, De Vrije, this insider from the world of international finance explains the ‘obedience’ of some of his most senior collaborators to ‘Luciferian’ ideology, At some point of the rise up the greasy pole, this requires initiation into a ‘blood sacrifice’, so as to ensure that the candidate, who will be part of the 8000-8500 strong ruling élite calling the shots worldwide, will be open to blackmail and fully committed to the trade which is destroying daily the lives of humans and their environment. At the moment of telling the worst : ritual murder of a child, what he saw and what he was asked to do, his voice falters …The whole interview will give you insights into the essentially talmudic mentality driving this group which regards run-of-the mill-humanity as ‘worthless trash’.

“the new Fascists of the left”
Nonsense, Marine LePen’s stance against imperialism and egoism and for national sovreignty are pages right out of Stalin’s playbook. The lady is a communist!
I think the term “the new Fascists of the left” refers to the left apostles of globalism and imperialism. Think Charlie Hebdo.
Thanks, Mr. Moglia, for this delightful essay tinged with pathos and eros where love (Cupid) is blind.
You love Shakespeare so much you don’t bother to attach his/her name to your bold type. I bought your book of the Bard’s quotes. What do you think of the question of authorship? What do you think of Joseph Atwill’s book, Shakespeare’s Messiah? I think he makes a good case for it being written by a Jewish woman, Emilia Bassanio and her Jewish friends as revenge for Rome’s and Christianity’s treatment of Jews.
I love your style but do not agree with your take on Trump. Should you not give more chance for the Henry V factor? Does Trump not also have the potential of Henry V? If not, why not?
I agree about France. It seems to bounce from French kiss to Judas’s kiss and kill, the kiss of life to the kiss of death. France gave us the Revolution of Liberty and the counter-revolution of Napoleon, Joan of Arc and French fries to frozen fries in Moscow snow.
I was in Paris once. I liked its cafes. Maybe it’s why I like the cafe here at the Vineyard best. I never made to the Cafe de Flore but I had couscous in a Moroccan cafe. I loved the churches but the Eiffel Tower left me cold.
With all the vile violence I don’t think I’d want to go back. How can the country be so stupid and cowardly? Still, I have a soft spot for the effete Frenchy. Maybe it’s there patron saint, Saint Denis, which is my name; except I have two balls…I mean “n’s” in my name. Grow a pair, France, like your patron and martyr, Saint Dennis (Dionysus).
Thank you Dennis. I am afraid I cannot contribute to the debates surrounding the life and origins of Shakespeare. I find Shakespeare (and all classical writers and poets) great direct and indirect contributors to the clarity of ideas.
Of course, he tops all others (in English), in the uncanny rhythm that has on the reader the equivalent effect of the first few bars of Beethoven’s Vth on the ear. For the rest I bow to the expertise of others.
I hope that the phantom on Henry V will take kindly to your comparison (with Trump) – though you say it speculatively, of course. Henry V said “O hard condition, / Twin-born with greatness, subject to the breath / Of every fool, whose sense no more can feel / But his own wringing!”
Trump appears to be particularly attuned to “his own wringing,” with little scope for other objects of sense or sensibility.
Therefore I doubt whether Trump can be assigned to the same league. Though if I were to be proven wrong, I will be the first to rescind my judgment and regret my pessimism.
Glad you liked Paris. In some ways I consider Paris an introduction to everything else which is beautiful in France, and cannot be perceived in the hustle and bustle of a large city. A city that is also a tourist symbol, with all that consumerist tourism suggests and implies.
A belated thanks. Your writing comes closest to Shakespeare, in my humble/proud opinion.
A pleasure to read.
Agree. Great piece.
The boat racing tale is so true! I laughed, it reminded me of multiple project managers I have worked with in my life.
Thank you for publising the article.
Jimmie says: -“I did not grow up in France”
-Where did you grow up? Or did you?
What do we have here. A “liberal” globalist infiltrated in here.I guess the truth must “really” hurt for your crowd.
This here, ladies and gents is probably the greatest piece of contemporary writing, I have layed my eyes upon in this milennia.
Thank You Mr Moglia.
I will study, enjoy and spread often in the future.
May You walk in the France of Your childhood in our lifetimes freely once again – cost what it may…
…but of course, we all know, there is no crosing the same river twice, even on a thousand year old stone bridge…
Here is an interview with a man who worked at the highest level of the international financial kabal. He was an top financial specialist for more than five years but broke down when he could no longer keep his conscience in the freezer when it came down to killing children. He tells in detail how governments, banks, multinationals, terrorist organisations and secret services make money deals, create wars and don’t give a s*t about people and the well being of the earth. The hate these people, these satanists, have towards us is so deep and so strong we normal people can not imagine.
Of course most of us all know how it all works, but to hear it in detail from this insider, a Dutch guy named Ronald Bernard, is very revealing and also very sincere.
I think it is the most important interview I saw lately. I really recommend the commenters here to see and hear him. (Dutch language with English subs)

@Ingrid, thank you for making this interview available. Bernard definitely brings credibility to the idea that those at the topmost pinnacle of society in the West are Satanists. We hear this claim often enough and it does seem credible, but it is easy to dismiss as a lunatic conspiracy theory. Bernard fleshes this out with his own experience that he paid dearly for. I found him both coherent and credible. He was also quite forthright about his own failings.
I recommend this to everyone.
I watched this too. Be careful. He does not really provide a clear route into this elite which I would buy – ‘someone’ gave him his spot in the currency trade for 10%’. Really? Employees and all? Do you honestly think business and finance works like that? No names. No data, No tax records. He conveniently says that, after a period of sort-of-torture, he made an agreement with ‘the cabal’ not to mention names, which is why he is not dead yet. Really?
If he were talking about being abducted by aliens, would you believe him? Do you believe him because you want to believe it?
I may be wrong, but I suspect he is a fantasist cobbling together a sequence of half facts into a self-aggrandizing narrative. Much of what he says maybe true, but I do not believe he is a reliable witness, or experienced it first hand.
Much like theories about HAARP and alien bodies hidden in government vaults, there would simply be more people coming forward if it were true. NSA spying on citizens, which is true, threw up a host of whistle blowers in short order. A lot of data slipped out. Conscience is not easily suppressed, and big fish have to employ low paid PA’s, secretaries, accountants managers etc who do not gain much from being evil, and talk. It rarely takes a self-proclaimed king pin to dish the dirt.
Look, proper gander, there’re countless ‘conspiracy theory’ sites who are forced to mix their truths with outrageous crap (about aliens, ‘free energy’, whatever) – that’s the only reason they’re allowed to exist – and there’re also countless ‘çonspiracy theory’ sites entirely run by MI6/CIA, and so forth.
It’s their main weapon actually – to discredit the truth – in order to make people react like you do.
But Ingrid’s link – I’d already seen it because Jim Stone made a link to it as well – has nothing to do with any of that. Besides, it’s rather your insinuations which don’t make much sense. What Ronald Bernard talks about is certainly true and well-known. I actually see no reason whatsoever to doubt what he says, on the contrary. Good for him. Go read about Hansel & Gretel and the cannibalistic pedophilic old hag. The latter and others of her cult were chased off to the pale of settlement for a reason.
Thanks Ingrid – well worth watching.
None of it is new, but it gives a convincing picture of how the system of criminality and corruption operates.
I have been something of a skeptic on the whole ‘child sacrifice’ meme.
Less so now, as there is a perfectly good ‘rationale’ behind it, and many opportunities in the global arena in which these psychopathic cabals operate.
It’s not just blackmail opportunities, but part of the psychology of control through transgression.
I have seen the way homophobia has been hijacked as a vector to co-opt motherhood and as a vehicle to pervert the course of childhood through sexualization of children.
Amazing the sheer depth of institutional corruption – achieved in a few short decades – that has allowed a priapic cult to takeover key areas of society – especially in health and education.
So child ‘sacrifice’ has another dimension, one in which too many of us have colluded through silence and indifference.
@ Ingrid:
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
And it’s about darn time someone carrying some credibility to his name talked about this. All we had before were mostly anonymous sources, or whistleblowers, and some of them are so psychologically damaged by their ordeal that is hard to cipher through which parts are true and which parts aren’t, but one thing is for sure [at least in my opinion], a lot of what they say is the Truth, whether we like it or nor, whether we believe it or not.
Forget 9/11, this is the ultimate Conspiracy, the Mother of all Conspiracies in fact.
That’s why if people genuinely wanna learn about these “masters of the universe” and how they really are and/or operate, you have to study MK-Ultra. There’s simply no way around that one. And I use that for short, the actual term is Multi-Generational Trauma Based Mind Control. It all revolves around that: the “elites” blackmail system, the “religion” they believe in (which is essentially a Death-Cult) the occult symbology they believe-in (and how they flaunt those on people’s faces through their media, especially Hollywood films), how their Secret Services operate [etc, etc]
You can study their Money System, their Financial Institutions, their Bilderbergs, CFRs (and whatever else) and how those interconnect with everything else ALL DAY LONG but you will still be clueless about the dark psyche lurking inside those individuals involved. What motivates them [?] That’s the key to solve any crime, particularly when physical clues/evidence are scarce. A good Criminal Investigator will seek to get inside the mind of the perpetrator he’s tracking down in order to solve the crime and bring him to justice.
This is no different.
People really do need to understand what makes the so-called “elites” tick in order to realize what they’re truly up against.
Forget the: ‘follow the money’ – while helpful, it will only get you so far down the ‘rabbit hole.’ [* BTW, Alice in Wonderland / Through the Looking Glass, are both packed to the gills with the elite’s “precious” occultism, and don’t even get me started on the Wizard of Oz…]
Instead, we should be following Sun Tzu’s doctrine of; ‘Know your enemy’ more closely.
A hell of a lot more closely, if you ask me…

-TL2Q
PS: BTW, in my opinion this R. Bernard guy knows a hell of a lot more than he let slip on this interview of his.
This was a great article. But to cut it down into fewer words. What the bottom line of it is ,” France like most of the West has been so infiltrated with anti-national ideology. The French population diluted by foreign immigration.And all the social elements,press,TV,movies,social media,etc,subverted. That the great France of the past is no more”. Its simply foolish for us to argue that point.And see some “great revival” coming to save the West.The rot is too deep for cosmetic measures.
Either the West continues as it is, until it disappears entirely.Or outside events,war or economic collapse,probably both at the same time.Overthrows the globalist elites.And allows for the rebirth under entirely new leadership of the Western States. If the past is an example,the first will happen before the second.Making ,when the second comes,it must harder to have the rebirth.And certainly it will be much bloodier,than if those countries hadn’t allowed themselves to fall so low.But when so much of the population doesn’t care about protecting their country and their population. What other results could we even expect. Adieu France,you were great at one time.
The French are not stupid. Seems all of those fawning over this article think the French are so stupid(if only they weren’t French, then they wouldn’t be so stupid). They’re just victims of being romantic. Rubbish!
So what would you call the people of today in France. The majority that would acclaim a globalist like Macron to rule them. A man who says “there is no French culture”. Now the problem with his statement is not that he said it. The problem is that there are not many millions of French people condemning him because he said it. Maybe that is because in a sense they see he is right.The globalists,liberal ideology,coupled with the massive foreign immigration,has perverted the culture of the old France. So maybe in that sense he, uncaring, spoke the truth.Realizing that the power of the brainwashing was so strong among the people that he couldn’t lose.Even by saying something like that.
Cheer up, Uncle Bob, this is Pollyanna speaking: “Everyone says France is going to the dogs, and then they come up with something tremendous like bacteriology or radioctivity or wave mechanics”. JBS Haldane, FRS.
Or the Revolution.
Those things were the “old France”. Its the “new France” we have today.The new France has fallen to the globalists.We can’t correctly compare the glory of the past in France. To a society of today where someone like Macron will win power in a landslide victory. The old France would be appalled at even the thought of that.
Yes, Uncle Bob 1, it seems the (((octopus))) has won. At least, that’s what they would like us to think. Let’s not give them the satisfaction!
No less a sage than Alice Cooper (the American rock star ….. loved his music since the 1960’s) said the devil is not stupid. The devil will not appear in red pyjamas with horns on his temples and carrying a trident. The devil is not at all stupid.
The devil will come in a guise we trust and worship. Neo-liberalism, Ms Thatcher, Mr Regan, Mr Macron ….. ?? The catholic church ….. woops, now I AM in trouble
Now, that made sense to me.
Alice Cooper is a deeply religious Christian, I am not, yet that made a lot of sense to me. Essentially, look behind the facade, lift up the white choir skirts and look for cloven hoofs.
Bob Dylan observed all those year ago, in a different age, “Something is happening here, but you don’t know what it is, do you Mr Jones?”
1984
Mr Jones, the common man, (of which I am one) is being turned into a slave, but ever so slowly so that he does not notice. (yes, yes, yes, women too, I do not want to cause a pussy riot …… that is a rather alarming thought, isn’t it?).
Maybe I am just an old fart and it is time for the knackers, but I do seem to remember kinder times.
Are we entering a new epoch, the flame of the Enlightenment turned to a flickering candle, to be extinguished by the breath of the devil?
….. and does the devil wear Prada?
The Internet has given the common man access to so much information, so many facts, but so little wisdom. I doubt the average person even knows that, ‘ … something is happening here … ‘
He is too busy trying to survive economically while reading about terrorism, evil refugees, evil Russia, China, Assad ….. and the million dollar bonuses paid to the CEO’s
As George Orwell said, “During times of deceit, speaking the truth is a revolutionary act.” Not sure how accurate this quote is. I originally thought he called it a seditious act. It is striking how societies are becoming split down the middle between those who side with tyrannical overlords because they know which side their bread is buttered on and those whose revulsion for lies forces them to engage in the seditious act of truth telling. The motive force of this burgeoning revolt of the masses throughout the West seems to be that they can inspect the entrails and read the tea leaves as to what all this means for them personally. The French have had it so good compared to even other prosperous countries that they are torn between thinking, “If I just close my eyes and plug my ears, things will stay the way they have always been!” versus, “Damn, if we don’t act now, tomorrow it will be too late!” In the recent past, it didn’t really matter who was president, at least up through Chirac, but now someone like Macron has it in his power to assure tyranny and penury à la fois in Europe as a whole, such is the importance of this French election.
… the invasion of the professional and political world by engineering concepts and terminology originally applied to machines.
Don’t blame engineers for that mess. It’s solely the fault of economists who don’t have a clue about anything (except screwing others) and misapply otherwise useful concepts for purposes where they don’t belong.
Success belongs to careerists, to those who have followed the paths and attended schools that equip them with the personality, quirks, manners and social skills fitting the functions that look for people to fill them.
You’re using quite some nice words to describe Sociopaths.
“Don’t blame engineers for that mess. It’s solely the fault of economists who don’t have a clue about anything (except screwing others) and misapply otherwise useful concepts for purposes where they don’t belong.”
Very true. What passes for Western “economists” is a truly wonderful anti-scientific coterie in the service of Western corporations. Actually, they are proof positive of the Homo Economicus paradigm in the sense that they adapt their “science” to what will eventually be most handsomely rewarded.
No such thing as french culture? Does he really say that? It is such an obviously false statement that it might even make a few mainstream people realize that something is wrong with the political class and their narrative! I wonder if that statement really was that well thought through
Eric:
I think the erasure of national cultures is the long term objective of the globalist empire yet to be achieved. Obviously this is going to involve a titanic struggle between the Transnational elites and the subaltern classes. What has not been understood is that this will not be an imposition of multiculturalism, but the exact opposite: an imposition of an all pervasive monoculture, made in the USA. The world is going to be Americanised; well that is the plan anyway. Of course it is the imperative of neo-liberal capitalism. Freedom of movement of capital, labour, culture and commodities, will be the vehicle of this attempted homogenisation. This is the modern totalitarianism. But all totalitairan systems face internal opposition, and, crucially they become corrupt and effete, and eventually disintegrate internally. As one American writer has put it.
”The dissolution of corporate hegemony, when it does occur … will happen because of the utlimate inability of the system. This type of breakdown is a recurrent historical phenomenon … a long range one internal to the system… (Morris Berman – The Twighlight of American Culture)
“There’s no such thing as society”, said Mad Maggie Thatcher. And proved it by destroying British society. Macron is a Trojan horse from the same Anglo-Capitalist stable.
Yes,if anything Britain has adopted the “New Liberalism” even more than France. Or maybe we just hear more about it because we read the reports in English,who knows. But when you allow a free reign to Wahhabism to subvert your immigrant population. And have over 40% of your main city and capital’s population made up of immigrants. When a Parliamentary member is kicked out by his party for antisemitism. Not BTW real antisemitism (i.e. hatred of Jews for being Jews),but for saying Israel is an apartheid state. That was his “crime” of antisemitism in today’s Britain.The fact that Israel could be the “poster child” for an apartheid society seems to not matter. If you speak the truth, that is the crime,not real racism. Putting all of that together (and there is much more),I’d say Britain is another another country where “its all over but the crying”,for the national sovereignty of its native population.
The rowing competition story was so hilarious I almost fell off my chair laughing! Aren’t modern ultra-super-duper management excrements just awesome?
To top it off, a press spokesman or spokeswoman covering the losing team could submit a communiqué to the effect that the hapless rower was in fact a Kremlin/DPRK/Al Qaeda agent.
Thank you for reminding me about “la douce France” and everything I like about her culture, food, language, art, history, literature…
I had the pleasure to meet Trenet, Aznavour and many who represent this France-the one people used to hear so much about and stand in queues for hours to see and get a taste of.
It is regrettable that the supposed next President of France doesn’t represent this France, but instead seeks to wash it of it’s substance and take it to the cleaners.
Macron’s “I go every way” image really irks me. I don’t believe the majority of Frenchmen and Frenchwomen identify with the way he speaks, thinks, dresses, assumes, projects; HOWEVER, they admire him and are seduced by his palpating hipster androgyny (just look at all the billboards in major cities in France, the men dressed in “Kooples” clothing (as is Macron) definitely portray this. Of course, his wife gets her clothes free from LV.
Last year I jokingly suggested to my boss that Macron is going to seduce the women of France (including LGBT) first then the women ( LBGT) of France will convince the men to vote for him.
He laughed.
But I feel this is what has taken place. Did you notice no “feminists” rallied around Marine Le Pen, the first woman to get this close to taking the top job of France? Edith Cresson through Raffarin, secretly met Macron to give him advice. The women of France, with their Elle, Vogue and Marie-Claire magazines under their arms were so enthralled and enticed by seeing this young golden boy with an older women, they buckled at the knees and forgot their brains. LGBT drooling.
This major publicity campaign mirrors one in the US, his skin is just more golden brown and he dances better too. No surprise Macron’s campaign is headed by the same people who worked to propagandise Obama (Laurence Haim and Liegey Muller Pons).
That cool phone call was just the tip of the I’m in-game, but hey, didn’t the French press vote Obama for next French President at the beginning of the race?
Hoodwinked, carwashed the French? Paris, Lyon Yes. The rest of France, we’ll see Sunday.
“Enfance” is not infancy, it is childhood. :)
“Marine LePen says something different and is of a very different mold than the likes of Trump. Fighting her with all their might are the ‘Centrists’, the new Fascists of the left and, of course the mainstream media, completely owned by we know who, organ and blow-horn of the ‘dome.’ “
Clearly, for the time being, Marine LePen stands out as the most able and the most talented leader within the Populist Right worldwide. Understandably, she is anathema to each and every little two-bit Western liberal as she outsmarts Merkel-the-harridan hands down and is very explicit about the legitimacy of the main fascist Western institutions: EU, IMF, and NATO: they have none.
However, if the contrast between Marine LePen’s and Angela Merkel’s intellectual capacities and leadership abilities is appreciable, a comparison between LePen and the pathetic Left populist buffoon Alexis Tsipras in Greece makes the contrast truly staggering. Why is this significant? It is significant because of the very similar situation prevalent in France and Greece with a native petty bourgeoisie and labour aristocracy taking imperialist privilege for granted but feeling the screws being remorselessly tightened as the West approaches implosion while also made worse by (very raw) Elite contempt. Tsipras knew full well that the majority population in Greece wasn’t the slightest interested in leaving NATO, the EU, or even the curse of the Euro and tried to tell the Eurocrats that, on this basis, the Greeks deserved much more favourable loan conditions. As everybody knows, Tsipras’s silly grovelling got the answer it absolutely deserved: Bugger off!. And that’s what happened — Syriza capitulated instantly after its “anti-austerity” line won the popular referendum.
Put into the French context: If Marine LePen doesn’t win the Presidential Election, that’s not necessarily — or even likely — a matter of rigging, but a recognition by the majority population in France that, (especially in this day and age) any “messing” with NATO, IMF, and the EU by the elected government will call for consequences; in other words less imperialist privilege for France as a country, possibly a total strangulation of her economy in case the Zionazis would really like to “make a statement”.
And, conversely, if she does win then, given her very clear perceptions, what will she tell the the fascist entities of NATO, the EU, and the IMF?
“It is a ferocious ideology. We can call it “Center”, neo-liberal, neo-liberalism, neo-capitalism, but for the average man it means nothing – as if it were nameless. He perceives that ideology as the actual reality – therefore he does not recognize it for what it is, the uncontested will of a few imposed on the life of all others.”
This is an important insight which is too easy to overlook.
I was in Narbonne for the Centenary Festival Charles Trenet! Imagine ‘Douce France’ played on the Cathedral organ. Et ‘La Mer’.
Returning to Paris I stumbled upon ‘La Manif pour tous’ against ‘Le marriage pour tous’. I thought then that there is hope. Hélas, non.
“… where citizens are consumers, disheartened and caged in an unnatural captivity” Well said!
I used to work for a non-profit that catered to disabled people. One day at a meeting we were told that we were not supposed to refer to them as “patients” or “clients” anymore, but “consumers”…Drip, drip, drip … the road to eradicating all humanity out of us, turning us all into profit machines. And do not let the fact that it was a non-profit I worked at, where do you think they get their money from?
Also loved the link to Charles Trenet song … yes, it still echoes in the French soul.
Merci Jimmie for this magistral tour de force – truth adorned with poetic prose. No wonder the Saker holds you in high regard. Des ames jumelles!
We, the “enlightened old left”, can feel and tell about the cataclysmic changes taking place before our own eyes in a swift rush to an Orwellian world of conformism and obedience to the masters of the universe.
The capitalist system – by design or structural dynamics – has created a monster of unstoppable greed that will swallow everything that can be turned into profit and human beings have always been a prime source of profit either as slaves, serfs or wage earners – essentially the same thing as commodities for exploitation.
We tend to accept the false tenets of the capitalist ideology as truths, such as the belief that we are free to choose ways and direct our lives to happiness and prosperity. We are not. Unless you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth, to survive you have to sell your labour to someone in the profit chain of capitalism. and that’s how the system feeds itself – from the labour it extracts from you.
It is that simple.
you must publish it on the saker francophone
