It’s really quite a coincidence, isn’t it, that prosecutors and courts deeply committed to the transnational elite are finding that all their opponents are criminals who must be arrested and banned from running for office.
And it only happens when it looks pretty likely that they are about to win office!
BREAKING:
Today marks the day democracy died in France.
A judge ruled Marine Le Pen is ineligible to run for president in 2027.
She is the frontrunner.
8 MEPs from her party are also barred from participating in elections.

Marine Le Pen, the French far-right leader, was found guilty of embezzlement by a criminal court in Paris on Monday and immediately barred from running for public office for five years, jeopardizing her plans to compete in France’s 2027 presidential election.
The verdict was a major blow to the perennial presidential ambitions of Ms. Le Pen, an anti-immigrant, nationalist politician who has already mounted three failed bids. Looking grim and murmuring “incredible,” she walked briskly out of the courtroom before the judges had completed reading her sentence.
She did not address the dozens of camera crews that awaited her outside the courtroom, but she was expected to speak on French television later on Monday evening. She had spoken of her “serenity” before the hearing but there was little evidence of that.
Ms. Le Pen is the clear front-runner in opinion polls for the 2027 election. Her ineligibility is certain to provoke strong protests from her own party, but also more broadly, there are likely to be claims that French democracy is being denied. The presiding judge, however, said that nobody was entitled “to an immunity in violation of the rules of the law.”
Luckily, we in the West live in countries deeply devoted to democratic principles, and it is inconceivable that prosecutors and judges would invent BS charges, stretch the boundaries of legality past breaking, or threaten the stability of their political systems by exceeding their legitimate power.
Right?
RIGHT?!
The EU has progressively devolved into authoritarianism.
