Not since Barack Obama arrived on the scene as a “community organizer” turned politician have we seen a major international candidate like French Presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron.  Is this, like Obama, a “Manchurian Candidate”, foisted on a gullible population by people behind the scenes like George Soros?  Similar to Obama, who only served briefly in the Illinois and U.S. Senate, Macron has had no previous political exposure.  An investment banker, he is for retaining, even strengthening ties with the EU and maintaining open borders.  Where he got the money to wage his campaign is largely unknown.

The other winner in the primary election is Marine Le Pen.  She is an avowed populist, who like Donald Trump, wants to curb “immigration”, maintain the unique French identity, and leave the EU, whose policies she maintains have greatly disadvantaged the French economy and French workers.  The mainstream media have already basically proclaimed Macron the presumptive winner in the upcoming French general election, just as they predicted a walkover for Hillary Clinton last November.  However, with high unemployment in many sectors of the French economy, and continued violence and threats from Muslim extremists, the media might once again be proven wrong.
