Following the lead of the their American socialist counterparts – the corrupt Democrats – the French put LePen on trial for trumped up charges driven by political foes. The only difference is, they convicted her and will imprison her. But more importantly she won’t be able to run for President. The front runner would most likely would have won as she is against immigration and violent islamization.

France has major problems with a very unhappy electorate; many are Marine Le Pen supporters. As reported, she has been sentenced to four years in prison but only has to serve two. She cannot run for office for five years, nor can eight of her MPs.

The case against her was a Brussels campaign finance case blown out of proportion. The US media claims she embezzled millions. She used European funds for her national campaign. She didn’t embezzle anything. It’s similar to the case against Trump in Manhattan in that they misuse the terms “embezzle” and “fraud.”...

Marine Le Pen angered the globalists in Brussels, prompting them to unearth a decade-old campaign finance violation. They directed French authorities to treat it as a crime, but under French law, it’s classified as a ‘non-crime’ called a ‘délit,’ so she wasn’t granted a jury trial. Instead, three judges, appointed by the president, ruled that even though Le Pen didn’t personally pocket EU money, she should face jail time and a five-year ban from political office.

One poster wrote, ” Every leader who dares challenge the establishment meets the same fate, prosecution, imprisonment, or exile. Marine Le Pen in France. Bolsonaro in Brazil. Imran Khan in Pakistan. Salvini in Italy. Trump in America. Calin Georgescu in Romania. Different countries, same playbook. The system doesn’t defeat its opponents at the ballot box …. it destroys them in the courtroom. If the people don’t choose who the globalists want, their choice is simply erased. The illusion of democracy is just that.”...
