French Resistance or French Surrender?


France is easily one of the coolest countries on the planet. 

Between its cultural vivacity and the independent intellectual esprit de coeur of its citizens, France arguably more so than any country  influences global culture on a per capita basis. 

France's empire may be long deceased however French culture today spans the globe. 

The country's great cultural industries and exports depend on free trade, cultural openness, and a willingness to engage the world.

And yet the dreary reality of politics, society and upcoming French Presidential elections threatens the country's outward looking successes.


French cool.... unfortunately can't fix French reality. The country's de-industrialization over the last quarter century has brought on a brutal world where youth unemployment exceeds 25%.

A long march towards the same old crazy story... Donald Trump... no Marine Le Pen.

The European Union is burning. America is retreating. Russia is gaining. Britain is bonkers. France needs to hold the line but will it? 

The upcoming French Presidential elections will determine the fate of Europe as a political body and with it a large part of the globalist project.

Pollsters predict a run-off between Marine Le Pen and another. It is unclear as to whether any mainstream political candidate has the capacity or popularity to deal with this menace.

Marine Le Pen is a bigot, a fraud and possibly (hopefully not) the next President of France.
