This incisive article was first written by the late Stephen Lendman in the wake of France’s April 2017 first runoff election.
May Stephen’s legacy prevail.

“Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité” in France?
Historic Crisis of the French Republic
by
Stephen Lendman,
April 2017
Its deplorable policies belie its national motto – first declared during its 1789 – 99 revolution, overthrowing monarchical rule, establishing the First French Republic in 1792.
When the 1848 Constitution was drafted, it was considered a “principle of the Republic.”
July 14, Bastille Day, represents transferring power from the monarchy to the people.
The national motto was written into the 1946 and 1958 Constitutions. It’s part of France’s national heritage, inscribed on the pediments of public buildings, appearing on coins, postage stamps and elsewhere.
Modern French governance is deplorable, its sovereignty sacrificed to Brussels, a US-dominated NATO member, an imperial American partner.
After its May 7 [2017] runoff election, it’s likely to stay that way – establishment favorite Emmanuel Macron heavily favored to win.
French aristocracy loves him, strongly opposes Le Pen for wanting national sovereignty regained, an anathema notion for globalists, a scheme to enrich privileged elites at the expense of most others.
Hoping to distance herself from unpopular National Front policies, she announced she’s no longer its president, stressing “I am the candidate for the French presidency.”
Explaining her move, she said it’s to be “above partisan considerations.” She faces a daunting task of winning over enough undecided voters and others supporting defeated candidates.
Polls aren’t encouraging, showing Macron heavily favored. On May 7, voters will choose a new president.
Hugely unpopular Francois Hollande’s tenure will end days later, continuity under Macron likely to follow.
French media and establishment figures already proclaimed him the winner.
Le Pen warned he’ll “destroy (the) entire (French) social and economic structure.”
It’s already in shambles after five disastrous Hollande years. Under him, his recent predecessors, with Macron likely France’s next president, dirty business as usual should replace its Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité national motto.
Today
Emmanuel Macron and Segments of The Left Support the Nazi Regime in Kiev
“Plus Ça change, plus c’est la même chose” . “The more things change the more they stay the same”
Ironically, the only party firmly committed to suspending military aid to the Nazi Kiev regime is Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) which is tagged by people on the Left as “fascist” and “anti-semitic”.
Meanwhile, according to the Kiev Post, Ukraine is rejoicing.
Several of France’s leftist parties which are part of the NFP socialist coalition are firmly supportive of Ukraine’s Nazi regime.
To my Friends on the Left
How is it that people who are committed to social democracy and socialism are endorsing a Neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine?
Brigitte Macron, Baron David de Rothschild, Emmanuel Macron
In the above report emanating from the Rothschilds (image February 2016) Emmanuel Macron endorsed by Baron David de Rothschild is casually announced as the future president of France, more than a year prior to the April 2017 elections.
Emmanuel Macron is not acting on behalf of the French people. Since the inauguration of his presidency on May 14, 2017, endorsed by powerful financial interests, he has acted as a proxy, supported by France’s “imperial American partner”
The Left is misinformed
Supporting the Nazis in Ukraine, serves the interests of the Global Financial Establishment and the hegemonic interests of the US.
The following image is revealing. From Left to Right: the Blue NATO flag, the Azov Battalion’s Wolfangel SS of the Third Reich and Hitler’s Nazi Swastika (red and white background) are displayed, which points to collaboration between NATO and the Neo-Nazi regime.
While Western governments (including France) are actively repressing the protest movements against Israel’s act of genocide, —with mass arrests on charges of antisemitism—, those same governments are supporting Ukraine’s Nazi movement which actively participated and collaborated with Nazi Germany in the genocide directed against the Jewish population of Ukraine during World War II.
What this implies is that our governments are antisemitic.
Specifically, the German penal code prohibits “Denial of the Holocaust” as well as the “dissemination of Nazi propaganda”.
We are dealing with something far more serious than Nazi “hate speech”, namely the relationship of the German Government with the Kiev regime’s Nazi Movement.
See the legal procedures of the European Parliament pertaining to Holocaust Denial
See also the Resolution of the UN General Assembly, dated January 2022 quoted in the above document.
Unquestionably, the German Government of Chancellor Scholz’s decision to support the Kiev regime’s Nazi Movement constitutes a criminal act under German law., namely the violation of. the Penal Code.
