🇫🇷💰 FRANCE REPATRIATED ALL ITS GOLD, PLAN TO BECOME A GOLD TRADING CENTER

🔍 An analyst has reported that the central bank of France has covertly repatriated 221 tonnes of gold between 2013 and 2016. This move would aim to revamp Paris as a gold trading center.

🗣 However it may be, France’s central bank saw huge potential for gold right after 2008. Based on Goulard’s article my assessment is that BdF expects gold’s role in the financial system will increase. Why else upgrade all the French gold, overhaul the vault, set up a new IT system, and develop a full set of trading services for foreign central banks in Paris?

🇫🇷🗳 French election: Macron and Le Pen to face off in live TV debate tonight

🔍 Five years ago, Marine Le Pen had embarrassed herself during the same debate with a poorly prepared, muddled and aggressive performance that sealed her eventual defeat by a margin of 12 points.

🗣 “The debate was a failure for which I paid a very heavy price”, Le Pen admitted last month, vowing not to make the same mistakes twice. One of her closest advisers, Philippe Olivier, said she had been “preparing for this moment for the last five years”.

👉🏻 For those interested, the debate begins at 9pm local time (meaning in 20 minutes), and can be watched here.

📺🥱 Worst audience score ever for the Macron/Le Pen debate

😪 The televised debate between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen gathered 15.6 million viewers, compared to 16.5 million five years earlier, which was already a historical "bottom".

📊 According to a poll for BFMTV conducted at the end of the debate, 59% of viewers of the show were convinced by Emmanuel Macron, against 39% by Marine Le Pen.

🕋🗣 Marine Le Pen during yesterday's debate: "I'm not fighting against Islam, which has its own place, I'm fighting against the Islamist ideology that seeks to impose Sharia law"

His neighbors called him "special".

Shirtless in his apartment, sitting at his little table, by the light of a flashlight, Vincent Gite was cleaning his weapons.

He believed in violence, and saw it as the best way to solve his problem. His problem was the others. On the table, a knife, a small revolver, a Glock 19, seventeen and thirty round magazines, several boxes of ammunition and an assault rifle. It was an HK G36 K, caliber 5.56 NATO.

Gite was loading the magazines. In his head, he reviewed his certainties. The Frenchman? Clinically dead. He claims that violence solves nothing, because he believes that his cowardice has solved everything. He believes his defeat glorious, his dishonor worthy. Pretentious cock in his shit.

Wise? Impotent. A big word for fear, and a justification for sitting still. He would pay. He would pay dearly.

A revolt? The city will collapse on itself. The redneck will defend his village, his house, his fields. He won't get in line to save Paname.

The cops? The military? They will defend the regime or join the ghettos. There is no third way. The top brass? State carpets, sorted out for decades to better flatten themselves. There will be no coup d'état. Conjurers won't stand a chance.

They will pay. They will all pay.

To accomplish his revenge, Vincent Gite counted only on himself. He couldn't stand all these people claiming to be on his side, and doing nothing. Pretending to hate without being able to kill, it was a dishonor to hate.

He put away his cleaning utensils. He no longer had a side. He couldn't stand anyone. He had come to hate the whole world.

He wiped the table with a rag. He was his own cult. He gathered his magazines. He was a man for whom man was heresy.

🇫🇷 FRENCH PEOPLE CREATED A PLATFORM TO SELL/BUY VOTES DURING THE ELECTION

A few days before the presidential and legislative elections in France, a service ironically called "Uber Elect" has emerged on social networks.

The site, which claims to have almost 3000 users already, is simple:
- it offers French citizens to sell their vote for 75 €
- it offers candidates to buy votes

The whole thing is apparently done with a proof of vote and a Monero transfer. A sort of Craigslist or democracy marketplace where people can monetize their citizenship. The uberization of democracy to it's end.

💥 This video has been circulating social media recently. it's unclear if this is just an ironic trolling operation to mock what Western democracies have become, or if this is a real business to sell votes. Whatever the case it exemplifies the perception of westerners (and especially the French) have on democracy.

🇫🇷🇺🇦 France supplied ammunition to the Ukrainian military by diplomatic mail on board, possibly civilian aircraft.

At one of the positions of the Ukrainian security forces in the Donbas, boxes with 12.7-mm cartridges were found, where the French embassy in Kiev is listed as the addressee.

🇫🇷🇺🇦 «FRANCE HAS BEEN SENDING ARMS TO UKRAINE SINCE 2014»

👉🏻 On April 13, the spokesperson of the French government Gabriel Attal mentioned France has sent 100.000.000€ worth of arms since the beginning of the War, but also unveiled the fact that arms shipments had been ongoing since 2014.

🗣 I also want to remind you that since 2014 [...] France was the first supplier of weapons to the Ukrainians.

🇫🇷📹❓ — Over the past days, a pro-Russian video was massively broadcasted on France's social medias, since a few days before the presidential election.

This video uses words like "Empire of Lies" or the "Z" of the Russian army. It denounces the degeneration of Western Europe with a succession of images, with a background of music from the... Choirs of the Red Army. Some of the images also seem to denounce compulsory vaccination, censorship of social networks, drugs and pornography.

It is not clear whether the video was produced by the Russian services. Russian citizens. Or by French pro-Russians.

This Sunday is the second round of the French presidential election, which sees Macron (anti-Russian, pro-NATO, pro-EU and pro-embargo despite the inflation they cause) and Marine Le Pen, a nationalist and populist candidate known to be hostile to NATO on its foreign policy and close to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

🇫🇷🇷🇺 French departments are obliged to finance the maintenance of Russian cargo ships immobilized in French ports, as their owners are targeted by the sanctions imposed on Russia. Nearly 50,000€ have already been spent on a single ship, largely paid for by the Brittany region, which is asking for help from the state.

🇫🇷💥 FRENCH ECONOMIST: "RE-ELECTING MACRON MEANS WAR"

👉🏻 Charles Gave is a French economist who made his fortune in the stock market and is known in France for analyzing the country's and Europe's economic situation with a very critical perspective.

🔎 In his latest video, he warns the French: according to him, the re-election of Emmanuel Macron will mean that France and the European Union will definitely enter a cold war phase with Russia and China. This is to follow the American interests.

📌 A catastrophic situation for the economy of European countries and for the standard of living of their citizens.
