This coming Sunday, July 14th, is Bastille Day, the annual celebration of the royal prison-fortress in question being stormed by a radical mob back in 1789, marking the real beginning of the French Revolution. In 2024, the political revolution had occurred upon the previous two Sundays, June 30th and July 7th, when the French electorate had rebelled against the 21st-century ancien régime of President Emmanuel “Let Them Eat Cake” Macron, first of all by voting for the supposedly “far Right” National Rally of Marine Le Pen, and then for a more authentically far-Left “New Popular Front” electoral alliance between Communists, Greens, Islamists and other assorted racaille, to keep the Rally out of office. Come the next French Presidential election due in 2027, King Macron himself may well be electorally guillotined and Le Pen become the nation’s new Queen.
Or, then again, maybe something else revolutionary in nature could occur – France may descend into outright civil war. At least, that was the warning of Jupiter Macron: vote for anyone other than the grown-up, rational centrists like him, and there would be immediate bloodshed. Strange, really. When Donald Trump warned of a “bloodbath” in the U.S. car industry should Biden win America’s own Presidential election earlier this year, he was spuriously accused of inciting mass violence. Why wasn’t Macron monstered by the media similarly? Because, unlike with Trump, the mainstream Western media are overwhelmingly on Macron’s side.
