Best of the Web: Macron lawyers bring forward defamation trial against authors who theorized France's 'First Lady' is a man

France's first 'First Lady' is obviously a woman. Right?
Brigitte Macron has brought forward her libel trial against Natacha Rey, who made bizarre claims that the French First lady was born a man.

The hearing has been moved from March 2025 to June 19, 2024, at the request of Macron's lawyer following Rey's claims that she was born under the name Jean-Michel Trogneux.

Since the interview with Rey, 48, on a YouTube channel at the end of 2021, lawyer Jean Ennochi said the rumours surrounding French President Emmanuel Macron's 70-year-old wife had continued to be fuelled.

Ennochi therefore requested the hearing to be sped up, as concerns around how the rumours have spread beyond France and into the United States have arisen.

He also said: 'In recent weeks, particularly internationally, via the Trumpist influencer Candace Owens, who relayed, I felt that the harm to my clients was increasing day by day'.


Comment: "Trumpist influencer"!?


Comment: And her father, according to the theory, is Brigitte Macron.

Here's the full theory translated into English.

As part of this new tack from the Elysee of 'meeting the crisis head-on', which was apparently spurred by Candace Owens bringing it to the anglosphere's attention in March, French TV is about to air a special series on France's First Lady.

Maybe it will publish, for the first time, some photos of Brigitte in her youth?

Notre Dame Cathedral renovation is almost complete

Five years after the fire at Notre-Dame, the iconic cathedral in Paris now has a roof and a tower again. The reconstruction is almost complete in what is no less than a national tour de force that has led to rare unity in a divided republic.


Comment: Perhaps, but only unity in the sense of the majority of people against the Parisian elites.


It is rare that gaps need to be closed in the sky. In this case, though, it was urgently needed. For almost five years, Parisians looked into a sad emptiness when they walked past Notre-Dame and looked up. The void reminded them of a national trauma: the evening of April 15, 2019, when smoke first rose from the Gothic building and flames then shot out of the roof.

With every catastrophe, there is a moment when the hope dies that the drama can still be averted. On that evening in April, it was the minute the glowing tower plunged into the depths. On both banks of the Seine to the left and right of the Île de la Cité, people stood and shouted, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Television stations sent images of the burning "flèche" around the world, just as they had shown the collapsing towers of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. And in November 2015, the footage of desperate people fleeing from Islamic State (IS) terrorists via windows in the Bataclan concert hall in Paris, hanging helplessly from the façade.

Comment: The ND renovation may be almost complete, but the culprits - and their handlers - remain at large.

Revealed - The documents the state didn't want you to see before the referendums

Documents provided to Gript under FOI show that senior officials in the Department of Justice believed that amending Article 41 of the Constitution to include non-marital families, as proposed by the Government in a recent referendum, would undermine, or even outright destroy, the ability of the State to operate an effective immigration system.

One email seen by Gript shows senior officials in the Department being told that
"The State has been able to maintain an immigration system so far precisely because Article 41 is applied to a small, tightly-defined group of people. The State will not be able to regulate immigration if this protection is applied any more widely."
In one of the two referendums held in March of this year the Government attempted to expand the definition of family in Article 41 to include non-marital families which were based on "durable relationships."

Comment: Given the dire, uncontrolled example provided by US southern border, Ireland would be smart to specify and lock its process.

Malaysia: 10 dead after navy helicopters collide mid-air during training, 3 days after similar incident with Japan's Navy

The two helicopters crashed during training for a flyover for Malaysia's 90th Naval Day celebrations.

Ten people have died after two helicopters collided in mid-air during a rehearsal for a Royal Malaysian Navy parade.

The incident took place at the Malaysian navy's Lumut Base - 100 miles (160km) northwest of the capital Kuala Lumpur - at around 9.30am local time.

The crash involved an AW139 maritime operations helicopter, with seven crew members, and a navy Fennec, with three crew members.

"All the victims were confirmed to have died at the scene and were sent to the Lumut Base Army Hospital for the identification process," the navy said in a statement.

Comment: As noted, this comes just a few days after a similar incident in Japan; where similar manouevres were considered to be risky, and which was why they were reportedly prohibited from performing them.

So just what's causing this increase in these kinds of incidents? Failures in training? Because there have been a significant number of incidents and blunders, particularly amongst Western militaries and their allies; the experimental jabs which have been shown to cause issues during high stress situations? Sabotage? Solar activity interfering the precision of the instruments?

New Delhi chokes as 65 metre 'Trash mountain' fire spreads hazardous fumes

India's capital choked on toxic fumes Tuesday, as a thick and pungent haze spread from a fire at a towering trash dump, the latest in a series of landfill blazes that authorities have struggled for years to bring under control.

Sections of the Ghazipur landfill in New Delhi burst into flames on Sunday, causing dangerous heat and methane emissions and adding to India's growing climate challenges.


Comment: This is hardly a 'climate challenge'...


By Tuesday, the blaze at the capital's largest landfill had largely been put out, but people living nearby complained of throat and eye irritation due to lingering acrid air, according to local media reports.

The cause of the fire remains unknown; landfill blazes are often triggered by combustible gases from disintegrating garbage.

Best of the Web: USDA claims bird flu is spreading in cows with detections in 32 herds in 8 states, is criticized for withholding data

© ADAM DAVIS/EPA-EFE/ShutterstockFILE: Experts say the US is not sharing as much data on the outbreak as it should.
Researchers around the world are growing more uneasy with the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) in US dairy cows as the virus continues to make its way into new herds and states. Several experts say the US is not sharing enough information from the federal investigation into the unexpected and growing outbreak, including genetic information from isolated viruses.

To date, the US Department of Agriculture has tallied 32 affected herds in eight states: Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, South Dakota, and Texas. In some cases, the movement of cattle between herds can explain the spread of the virus. But the USDA has not publicly clarified if all the herds are linked in a single outbreak chain or if there is evidence that the virus has spilled over to cows multiple times. Early infections in Texas were linked to dead wild birds (pigeons, blackbirds, and grackles) found on dairy farms. But the USDA reportedly indicated to Stat News that the infections do not appear to be all linked to the Texas cases.


Comment: It doesn't seem as though this 'link' was proven to the be culprit, because there were other more likely routes of transmission - just 2 weeks ago it was reported: Ground-up chicken waste and excreta fed to cattle may be behind bird flu outbreak in US cows


Comment: What with the establishment's sinister track record - exemplified by the contrived coronavirus crisis, lockdowns, and experimental injections - in addition to their stated agenda to destroy farming as we know it, one would be right to be highly suspicious of this bird flu situation.

The scare has already resulted in culls of tens of millions of birds just in the US, with global biohazard restrictions on flocks - which, ironically, is known to weaken immunity - and, worryingly, MIT recently reported that an mRNA jab is in the works. A jab that when administered may remain in some form within the meat itself.

It's also notable that wild birds have been considered to be one of the primary vectors of bird flu, and with their migration patterns taking them all across the planet, 'nowhere is safe'.

Whether this will indeed be 'disease X' that the WEF & co. have been promoting remains to be seen - because smallpox also seems to be another strong contender - but one could argue that they are certainly building the case for it:

Supreme court allows Idaho to enforce law blocking sex-change procedures for minors

The court allowed the Vulnerable Child Protection Act, a state law forbidding so-called gender-affirming care for minors, to take effect pending appeals.

The U.S. Supreme Court issued an emergency order late on April 15 allowing Idaho to resume enforcing a state ban on sex-change-related procedures for minors after the law was blocked by lower courts.

At least five of the six conservative justices voted to restore the state law, while all three liberals voted against doing so.

It was unclear at press time how Chief Justice John Roberts, a moderate conservative, voted, if he voted at all.

U.S. District Court Judge Lynn Winmill, who was appointed by President Bill Clinton, found in December 2023 that Idaho could not enforce the statute while the litigation remained pending. Idaho appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, which affirmed Judge Winmill's temporary injunction blocking the law, but has yet to issue a final ruling in the case.

Although the decision took the form of an unsigned order, there were multiple opinions (pdf) issued by various justices.

Cannes Hospital Centre - Simone Veil (CHC-SV) shut down its systems in response to a cyberattack it fell victim to last week.

Also known as the Broussailles Hospital, the healthcare organization decided to completely cut off computer access to contain the attack, which forced employees to turn to pen and paper to continue providing services to patients.

"These procedures are more time-consuming and the examination delivery times are extended," an automatic translation of the hospital's incident notice reads.

Comment: With all the cyberattacks on emergency and governmental services, one could be forgiven for thinking that these are trial runs for something much more significant - below is just a selection of attacks in the last year or so:

World's first inquiry into excess deaths established by Australian Parliament

The Australian Senate voted to establish a parliamentary inquiry into the nation's excess deaths today, giving the green light to what is possibly the first inquiry of this nature in the world.

One year and five motions is what it took for Senator Ralph Babet, of the United Australia Party, to finally get the go-ahead on the inquiry.

Senator Babet tabled two unsuccessful motions calling for an inquiry into Australia's excess mortality last March, followed by another unsuccessful motion in February of this year.

Several weeks later, his fourth motion calling for the Senate to acknowledge the need for an inquiry scraped through with a win, marking a shift in attitude within the Senate and paving the way for today's vote to finally establish an inquiry.

Senator Babet, in a statement after his motion passed successfully, said:
"Fifth time's the charm! This appears to be a world-first inquiry for what is a global issue. May this committee process give a voice to the family members of the deceased and deliver the answers that our nation so desperately needs."
