The deperation of the French Elite.

French elites were always out of touch with the plight of the French working class. The classic was the phrase uttered by Marie Antoinette, who upon being told that the French peasantry had no bread replied 'then let them eat cake.'

The current scare of the Elite is that Marine Le Pen will get elected President. That is why the Elite are pulling every trick in the book to fool the electorate. The first trick is the "fresh young face" of Emmanuel Macron, the 'independent candidate' and opponent of Marine Le Pen. Mr Macron was the Finance Minister of the Socialist Hollande and is a supporter of the EU and the continuation of stuffing France with North Africans and Muslims.

But the next "trick" shows that Marx was right at least on one thing when he said that "history repeats itself, first as tragedy and then as farce." French 'journalists' are 'reporting' that the same Russian forces that hacked Hillary's campaign are trying to hack Macron's. So, the Elite is trying to convince the French that Le Pen is a Russian puppet.

A few years back, the Elite would have rejoiced in the possibility that the Russians might gain influence in France. What happened that the American and the French elites now speak of Russia with hatred and loathing?

Play close attention to the Moscow Parade of 2015. It begins in a fashion dear to Left wingers: the elite Kremlin guards goose stepping a red flag and a Russian flag then stop at their appointed space. But, it is the next sequence that no doubt enrages every red-blooded Liberal in the US and France. At 6:29 of the tape, the camera switches to Minister Seguin, With a cathedral behind him, he rides in a staff car bare headed, crosses himself then puts his cap back on. Any left winger no doubt screamed.
