Apparently being a French nationalist is now a hate crime.
It is highly suspicious that Macron went through with most votes and will now likely win the Presidency on May 7th.
Here's a 39 year old Rothschild banker who was virtually unknown less than one year ago, endorsed by Obama and NATO, never elected to public office, spent a couple of years as a shoo-in economy minister under Hollande where he proposed a 'labor' law that bears his name that hundreds of thousands protested against and had to be forced through by executive decree and with a manifesto slightly less bland than his personality.
Hollande's presidency, under which Macron served, is probably the least popular in French history. And yet we're expected to believe that a majority of French voted for this guy??!
Sounds like a rigged game to me.
Yet despite the media already assuring everyone that Macron will easily take the laurels on May 7th, the game may not be over.
Mélenchon (the uber lefty trotskyist nut job) who received about 20% of the vote had the role of drawing votes of the large number of those disgruntled with the system away from Le Pen. He did his job well. But now Mélenchon has to decide how to urge those who voted for him to vote for Macron. Those who voted for him did so largely out of severe distaste for an establishment dupe like Macron. To avoid exposing himself for the shill he is, Mélenchon has said he will not endorse either Le Pen or Macron but will instead ask his 450,000 party members to decide via his website.
This is a sneaky move, because when he does endorse Macron, he can blame his party members. Nevertheless, his supporters may not be fooled and the result may be that they will turn to Le Pen as the only "anti-establishment" option. It's a long shot, I know, but remember Trump. In fact, a similar scenario played out in the USA last year, when Clinton screwed over Bernie Sanders to win the Democratic nomination. When Sanders then endorsed Clinton, many of his supporters, feeling betrayed, voted for Trump in protest.
The other point of interest is the 1% of votes won by candidate François Asselineau.
In the French regional elections in November 2015, with little to no mainstream media coverage and with only 9,000 members of his party (UPR), Asselineau received 190,000 votes, which worked out at 1% of the vote.
Today, with 26,000 party members, a month of decent mainstream media coverage, 11 million views on his youtube channel and many rallies attended by thousands of people, his total votes increased to 300,000, which somehow works out to 0.8 %. Go figure. Voting is a murky business, hard to figure out. Open to being meddled with. Just ask the Russians.
All in all, it's not looking good for France or the French people, all of whom would be well advised to prepare themselves. Postmodern, globalist, nihilistic, warmongering and REAL racism against Muslims everywhere (in the form of more bombing of Muslim nations) has installed itself fully in La Republique.

It seems like a lot of these "unexpected" events are planned imho.
Mélenchon has done very well and may displace the old Socialist Party. He's Tsipras mated with Bernie Saunders. Le Pen's supporters will not stand down. Macron's authoritarian liberalism and inability to govern will drive the two walls against him. The period of Social Facism will be over recalling that most Nazi party members were of the Strasser-Rohm wing.
It is also interesting to see how most the candidates now fold and lend their support to Macron. The current French PM also tells the French to vote for Macron. Will the French people in the next round follow the dictates of a most unpopular government?
Europe will need a new center soon. The EU has failed. Brussels is no longer where it is at. It will be a new boss and Он будет таким же, как все начальники, которые пришли раньше...IMO. ( I must look up where the expression 'egg on you face' comes from.)

Though I share most of your opinions, I find this point to be doubtful.
The political platforms are very similar, but the base of voters are really unlike each other. A voter for Melenchon is strongly convinced that right and left are real political entities, and will remain faithful to the left. Half will vote Macron, half will abstain. No way they could vote Le Pen, who is Hitler for them. (Yes, it makes no sense but...)
PARIS — France’s political mainstream, shut out of the presidency by an angry electorate, united on Monday to call on voters to back centrist Emmanuel Macron and reject Marine Le Pen’s populist nationalism..... [Link]
Look at the Brexit vote, don't like the results, well vote again a make sure this time the people vote the right way.
Donald Trump, well turns out all those promises were empty words, more of the same but with a little less sting than his predicted opponent, more a slow burn.
Why should France be any different.
We are witnessing a very clever manipulation, the manipulation of the people to make sure this time the vote counts because the people of France as a strategic partner for the agents of chaos have to vote "the right way"
Now it's all identity politics, he/she looks good says the right things I want to hear, word of mouth and persuasions by community members, friends and family.
In reality nobody in politics has words of truth, says words of truth or even whispers words of truth, if they did then they may come to a sorry end, there career in the milk train of politics would be over.
"That being said, Maybe it's time France did elect a woman president, it would be unique, to see a French electorate acknowledging a woman can play with the big boys. And who knows, make a better job of it."
Why do you bother getting up in the morning?
From a really high level perspective, it's amazing to see certain lessons forgotten in these times. Years of training getting thrown out the window.
If you all cast your minds years ago, you will remember a time when it was open knowledge to those in the alt community that the puppets put in front of the masses were just that... puppets. You will remember the mantra that there was a programme for EVERYONE.... that includes everyone in the alt community too, no exceptions.
You will remember that drama entices and that every now and again they will shift from left to right to release pent up pressure. In short, you will remember the warnings about it all being theatre....
Now it's like the alt is joining in and endorsing a specific side... being transfixed by the drama like someone trapped in platos cave watching the shadows move on the wall and taking it to be real.
Years worth of training going down the pipe... long forgotten.
Does it matter if Le Pen or this Macron fellow win? Yes one is a slick suit wearing establishment type pretending to be a centralist etc, the other is a right wing type acting as a pressure release valve to all those disenfranchised souls who want to stick the middle finger to the establishment...
Does it matter who gets in? Will your situation change? Will the world improve for the better? Will the elites be banished? Will the pathology be cured?
Why be transfixed by a game for which its only purpose is to entertain and transfix when ultimately, the house will always win.
From Trump, to Brexit... to every single revolution in the west since many centuries.... who wins and who loses?
Why all of a sudden are you all into the left vs right game... slowly but surely being sucked into the abyss, like quicksand gobbling you up.
All those years of training.....
For what????
That's your mantra, not mine. Your programme, for all I know. LOL.
The second trick is some sort of family type connection to the world Jewish lobby like the next Prime minister of Greece has.
The third is drug addiction. The fourth is financial compensation, but rather a small amount and usually illegal.
Put all these 4 elements and whatever deviance from sanity on the profile of any country's political "leader" and this country is "dead" before you know it.
In short, most politicians and officials in "high places" , along with those who appoint them in these places (the voting process is a farce, proven time and again) should be locked up in mental institutions forever !
"If they say I have a double life with Mathieu Gallet, it must be my hologram, but it can't be me."
An interesting thing to say, coming from someone who has been compared publicly to 'a hologram'.
The snap election called in the UK makes me wonder if the government wants to secure a larger majority in parliment, to prevent the opposition blocking any war that might be in the pipeline, like Syria? Then the Blairites will use labour's defeat to oust Corbyn. The whole thing stinks, and the empire is rather desperate. They just can't allow Le Pen to win, and in a fair election, maybe she would?
