Political Unaware; French President Emmanuel Macron Puts Globalist Case Against Trump at UN, Hints at Anti-U.S. Trade Deal Boycott, what is unfolding is a stooge acting out to try and be seen as a force and the main power player in Europe, cheered by the elite and held in contempt by his own people, Macron is a man with a limited future

















Dear All

When I was on Gordon Brewer’s radio debate on the EU referendum as a guest speaker, one of the things which I touched on was the way the EU uses trade deals which is detrimental to other countries. As part of my pitch, I talked about the trade deal between the EU and Kenya.


Basically, the EU brokers deals with developing countries in a way that they either they sign or their market access to the EU is restricted. What the EU is doing is operating a cartel to suppress prices in their favour, in effect creating unfair deals which poor countries have no option but to sign up to.

It is a form of economic warfare.

Such, tactics can work on small countries, but the problem then unworkable when used against a major world economy such as the US. Donald Trump has problems domestically and internationally, his crime was getting elected and rejecting the globalist agenda. As US President, he is forthright in putting the interests of America and its workers first, something which the Democrats failed to do.

The EU experiment to create a super state is doomed to failure; the cracks in the EU already are beginning to emerge, in Poland, in Hungary and in Italy. The sea change in the mood of the people is transforming politics in Europe in a way which will eventually lead to a break up or re-organisation.  

France’s Emmanuel Macron has used his speech to the United Nations General Assembly to put the globalist case against the pro-sovereignty, strong borders vision outlined by U.S. President Donald Trump. The economy of France isn’t exactly doing well, and when you consider the bill for NATO which the US pays a hefty share in order to protect Europe, you have to ask why Macron is so stupid. The embattled French President is facing tumbling approval ratings at home which are set to grow even worse, as France has been rocked by the migrant crisis.  

French President Emmanuel Macron will fall because the people of France will come to realise that stronger leadership is needed to protect France and its citizens. He already feels the pressure as rising national populist parties in Italy and Central Europe are challenging his efforts to cast himself as the main player in European Union power politics. Angela Merkel’s career is in effect over, she still holds power but what she doesn’t hold is the trust of the German people.

In global forums like the United Nations, however, Macron remains the poster boy for ‘centrism’, he may think that the assembled politicians and bureaucrats giving him a standing ovation makes his political future secure, but it doesn’t. Macron is a stooge; formerly he worked as a Rothschild & Cie financier. He then had a stint serving as economy minister in France’s previous Socialist government before launching his own party. He like Merkel knows that there is a crisis of the very foundations of today’s world; he is one of the players who created it.

Macron did however admit that this is a time where their ‘collective system is falling apart’, but like a Captain wanting to go down with his ship, he said he was committed to “multilateralism”.

In the US, President Trump is turning the US around, employment is at an all time high, but the road to a ‘Make America Great Again’ still has a long road to travel, especially in problem cities like Detriot, San Francisco and Los Angeles.


Yes, there is a price for the globalist dream, the rich get rich and the ordinary person, well whether you are in America or Kenya, the end result is always the same.

President Trump has his critics but who can fault this statement:

“We reject the ideology of globalism, and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism.”

The bottom line, US President tells UN General Assembly he will never "surrender sovereignty to an unelected global bureaucracy."

Trump’s speech in contrast emphasise the way illegal migration “exploits vulnerable populations, hurts hardworking citizens, and has produced a vicious cycle of crime, violence, and poverty”.

Again, the evidence is there to see in black and white.

Trump is right to assert that “Only by upholding national borders [and] destroying criminal gangs can we break this cycle and establish a real foundation for prosperity”. If you can’t protect your own people, and are not willing to, then that begs the question why are you in public office?

Poland is one country singled out by Trump as:

“a great people are standing up for their independence, their security, and their sovereignty”.

President Macron like Angela Merkel is a relic of a failed experiment which struggles each day to be relevant in European politics, they hold power now, that power will be taken away from them by the people.


Finally, right across Europe, new parties have emerged, some condemn them as far right in order to stigmatise them in the eyes of the public, mostly this is fake news, but despite every dirty trick, support grows. People know a strong Europe doesn’t lie by being part of the EU; it lies in each country having sovereignty and being accountable to the people.

  1. Yeah, on reflection, a lot of this seems to be fallout from the 2008 crash after the bankrupcy of the Lehman Brothers. In fact, I wonder if the rise of the SNP as well as Corbyn, Brexit and Trump are part of this, people desperate for some sort of change? I can't remember if I may have already mentioned it, so forgive me if I already have.

    Really, I'm relieved that Trump hasn't destroyed the world or its economy at the moment. There's still plenty to criticise him about, I'm more concerned over his policies and their effect on the world rather than some petty joke about what he's been up to with some call girl.

    As for Macron, I really thought LePen was going to win based on 2016's events, so do you reckon that's about to change, George? Also, I remember that 'Brexit: The Movie' mentioned the rise of far right groups on the continent as a reason to break off from the EU. Do you think they were correct, or that they got that segment wrong? (I don't mean to be cheeky, it's a genuine question.)

    Also, I'm wondering if you think that things will change back again after Trump goes, or if his presence in the White House is irreversible like Brexit - support it or no - effectively is, even if a Democrat politician wins?
