So I finished reading the seminal book by Juan Branco,
Crepuscule (
link posted in the previous post), and man, does this guy dig deep into the mechanisms that's powering
la Macronie.
To make a short summary of the book, it basically makes the legitimate case (after all, Branco is a lawyer by training) of how some of the well-known French billionaires, in this case Bernard Arnault, chairman of
LVMH (
personal net worth est. USD ~$87Bn), who owns many of the prestigious french press and media, incl.
Le Figaro, L'Obs, Le Monde, etc. as well as Xavier Niels (married to the former's daughter, Delphine Arnault) another billionaire with a dark past (including prison term for pimping) who are
Macron's handlers via his wife, and First Lady, Brigitte Macron.
The point of this however, is that this small circle of the
Petit Paris are the ones who not only accosted Manu, but also the ones who later, when the time came, to manipulate the press to give
smoke-and-mirrors, and ultimately allowing Macron to be elected, to everyone's surprise (after all, practically no one was aware of who he was only months prior). And
who can forget this sort of brazen symbolism when he got elected. Shameless.
Some notes that I found interesting was an alleged dinner in
NY & LA where Macron and his handlers were celebrating/conspiring to get him elected a few years prior the 2017 election (I'd love to find evidence for this, if possible).
The book basically shows the inevitable, how corrupt and hijacked the french institutions have become.
In France, as elsewhere, the trap is in the illusion of multiplicity of choice, that are in fact all networked by a few with vast resources. The control is done by the directors who are in charge of whom to hire/fire; promote;punish, in brief, everything you'd read in the
Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars.
The second part of the book focuses on Gabriel Attal, a 29-year old nobody who managed to become the youngest public servant at the Elysee, whose journey is outlined in great details, and how this young man of the
Petit Paris with not one work experience, has managed via his network to have a desk working in the Republic for his own interests. The case goes deeper, by showing that the details surrounding the Benalla case (a big scandal in France about Macron's protégé), and how Macron's basically hiring his own security detail outside of law-enforcement, guys like Alexandre Benalla who was caught
in May 2018, kicking a citizen in the street prompting protests.
As Juan Branco puts it succinctly:
"Ces êtres ne sont pas corrompus. Ils sont la corruption." These people are not corrupted. They
are the corruption.
The good news is, that this book is selling like hot-cakes, topping the charts with an increasingly informed citizenry that's waking up to this masquerade. One thing I realized from this cess-pool of archons however, is that the very fact that the corruption runs so deep, is their strength, but also their weakness. Meaning, if one card falls (and they can't put out the fire quick enough) the whole deck with it, falls apart. And that's why as hard as they are trying to ignore the fire, their end is too visible, thus the aptly named title
Crepuscule (Twilight).
I have my own preconceptions and biases, including that the involvement of Dark Magic and RSA is present (although not explicitly mentioned in the book), and nothing points more to that, than having your own, corrupted security detail and hijacking of the French Military Force apparatus. but I digress.
Maybe, they are the proverbial hare that rushed too fast to get to the end, while the wise turtle manages, slowly, to overcome the situation at the end.
