BorrowToLeech Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Seriously, you think this is some kind of weird conspiracy? This is the entirely predictable outcome of right wing neoliberal politics that people keep voting for. Putting banks in charge has been the stated aim of the right since the seventies. Thatcher was the best prime minister! If only Reagan was in power! Wait why are bankers taking over the world? ?

knock out johnny Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Take the tin-foil hats off lads I didn't hear any of this when Alexis Tsipras became PM of greece at 41 years of age I find it laughable that some of the posters are Trump fanbois who believed his "drain the swamp" BS and he's filled the White house with Wall Street's finest and immediately repealed what little regulation Obama enacted I suspect the anti-marcon sentiment is he's the only thing standing in the way of your latest wet-dream pin-up girl Jean Marie LePen from wrecking the EU Edited April 24, 2017 by knock out johnny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenDevil Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 8 hours ago, TheCountOfNowhere said: Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Macron (French: [emanɥɛl makʁɔ̃]; born 21 December 1977) is a French politician, senior civil servant, and former investment banker. Born in Amiens, he studied Philosophy at Paris Nanterre University, completed a Master's of Public Affairs at Sciences Po, and graduated from the École nationale d'administration (ENA) in 2004. He worked as an Inspector of Finances in the Inspectorate General of Finances (IGF) and then became an investment banker at Rothschild & Cie Banque. And yet the people must vote for him. WTF?

Thatcher was the best prime minister! If only Reagan was in power! Wait why are bankers taking over the world? ? To be fair I did say "Maybe it's just that they are all so rich now that they have time/money on their hands for such projects...or maybe they are backed by friends in high places.' im not one for conspiracy theory's but I do think the unregulated bankers ate awash with cash and some will no doubt be using it to fund people to move into high office and reap the benefits of such relationships. maybe the queen ain't so bad after all. either way, putting out if touch bankets/bank facing politicians in high office will not serve the British or European people well. Will just get more thievery and debt. the finally collapse will be massive and the war that follows, which is possible, a tragedy for us all.

nome Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 The banks have always been the puppet masters pulling the strings of governments behind the scenes... now they're not even trying to be discreet about it and are placing their representatives directly into positions of power and cutting out the politician middle man.

WinstonSmith Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 So many non-sequiturs...... Tsipras was leader of his party for six years before he became prime minister. Macron hasn't been elected to anything, EVER. Tsipras didn't just walk in off the street for a ministerial job and then suddenly say "hey I'm starting this new movement" and have people throwing millions at him. Yeah, Le Pen is the devil, we've heard it all before........ Importing millions of snackbars is nothing to worry about, it's the middle aged blonde we need to watch. ?

Yeah, the Tsipras bit was off at a bit of a tangent, I agree. This move in France is quite unique and as such should be seen with some suspicion. I'm genuinely surprised, given all the terror attacks in the last 18 months, that the French are going for it. The power of advertising and state propaganda is strong. I think I'll take the TV up the tip at the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddlehead Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Macron wants to cut 120,000 public sector jobs. Le Pen wants to cut the retirement age to 60. Which one is the establishment candidate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not in an artillery battle !!! Sure advertising and propaganda works both ways. The only trouble being the people in country of the state broadcaster and of the large media outlets have the upper hand ( look at the stats about murdoch has championed the winner of each general election since 1976 ) All propaganda is drowned out by the loudest voice.
