Macron is a psychopath

https://www.infowars.com/top-psychiatrist-says-french-president-macron-is-a-dangerous-psychopath/

A prominent Italian psychiatrist says that French President-elect Emmanuel Macron is a dangerous psychopath who could potentially ruin France.

In a video interview with ERTV, Dr. Adriano Segatori explores Macron’s psychological background, which he says was shaped by Macron’s relationship with his 64-year-old wife.

Segatori begins by alleging that Macron “suffered a grave sexual assault” at age 15 by his future wife Brigitte Trogneux, 24 years his senior, and that this led to Macron developing an omnipotent personality complex born out of “the idea that limits do not exist”.

Benalla, who hasn't been on active gendarme duty since 2015, holds the rank of lieutenant colonel of the gendarmerie – an exceptional achievement for someone so young, which the force vaguely explains citing his "level of expertise."

When Macron became president, he picked Benalla as his assistant chief of staff and put him in charge of his security.

The bodyguard eventually settled in a lavish residence, which, according to reports was paid for by the Elysee.

This is really bizarre - there are probably hundreds of French soldiers or even legionnaires who have self-control, intelligence, impeccable emotional control - all of them would love to work for the president.

I think Benalla might be one of Macron's lovers.
That would make a lot of sense.

Macron has a bunch of henchmen to serve his globalist plan.
This was predicted on rooshvforum!

He looks like a SPECTRE villain out of some low-budget 80s Bond movie...

Macron keeps having frequent meltdowns, even as a president who is supposed to represent the Republic's dignity.

Macron is like a kid who try to look nice at the beginning, and when he feels comfortable, reveals himself as an annoying little brat

He already has a mini meltdown today because some journalists say that it's weird that he acts like he has already win

Golden Rule: rooshvforum is always right!

I generally disapprove of psychiatrists commenting on the mental health of people they haven't interacted with professionally, but that link is scary.

France has the third strongest declared nuclear arsenal on the planet, and it lacks the safeguards the other powers have.

I strongly suspect EM is gay, but since I consider it no worse than granny-fucking, the rumours don't affect my opinion of him. What does is if he uses his power and influence to accomidate them. Something I'm assuming is happening with Benalla

 

[balybary]

This italian psychiatrist has predicted that Macron, as a true psycho, never feels remorse or guilt when he has made social transgression.

Macron has made a comment about the biggest french scandal since many years:

"I am proud to have hired him at the Elysée because I consider him to be someone who was devoted and who had a different career path," he said, believing that Alexandre Benalla had done "many good things" by his side.

Macron has clear tendencies to act like a remorseless annoying teenager/kid.

He wants minions who treat him like a big boss/big boy, he doesn't really want competent workers around him.

 

[Transsimian]

Here's a translation of the video. I don't speak Spagetti, so may not be accurate.

It's interesting to watch, but the timing around the election was problematic. I dislike Macron, but I dislike attempts to sabotage campaigns based on appeals to authority and remote diagnosis.

Maybe he values loyalty over competence. The French military overwhelmingly supported his opponents in the polling booths, so he's trying to block off any threat.

 

[Beirut]

Havent followed his internal things but Macron hasnt been so bad in terms of foreign policy in the middle east. He did some moves that were very good surprisingly. Hes no Lepen but hes been better than his predecessors.

As for this scandal it seems like a small issue to me. Western politics seems all about media scoops and gotcha moments and ignores all big issues

The new Twitter chatbot (remember Tay?) is eerily reminiscent of the FIFA World Cup 2018 thread, but /pol/ is hard at work trying to corrupt it.

Most epic political ad I've seen:

 

[Simeon_Strangelight]

The Muslim terror death camp that trained children to become school shooters sure gets little coverage - and certainly suppresses all info about the fact that it was a Jihadi camp and there were people involved who actually met Obama.

Now they are releasing some of them due to charges of Islamophobia:

New Mexico compound jihadis released on bond after charges of racism and “Islamophobia”
AUG 13, 2018 9:48 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER 20 COMMENTS
“Their lawyer argued that there was a double standard in the case because his clients were Muslims. He argued that if they had been Christian and white, ‘we might not be here today.'”

Seriously? If they had been Christian and white, stockpiling weapons and plotting school shootings, with the ringleader being the son of one of the most respected Christian preachers in the country, there wouldn’t have been news coverage of anything else for weeks. There would have been feature stories in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal. CNN and MSNBC would be running special reports on toxic Christianity and the crisis in the churches.

This incident, on the other hand, received very little coverage, and hardly any that touched on the Islamic aspects of the story. But Muslim claims of victimhood are so polished and reflexive by now, and the Leftist acceptance of them so matter-of-fact and instinctive, that Judge Sarah Backus fell right into line. We can only hope that no one dies because of her folly.

Robert Spencer is right of course - this was not even Waco or some gun-toting sect that wanted to be left alone. They actually planned to kill children in multiple locations for Islam.

And I even doubt that it was much of a setup this time handled by secret service operatives. They currently are suppressing that as much as possible since the flow of 100.000+ of Muslim refugees to the US must not be stopped or questioned.

Among the terrorists you have to differentiate between the believers, the mercenaries and the operatives. With ISIS and other organizations you get all 3. Here you probably only got the true believers. Some are false flag attacks for sure, but this seems to have been organized by a believer. Obama met plenty of Muslim Brotherhood true believers who would love a caliphate to be declared in the US.

Also funny how the media even avoids the mention of a Jihadi terror camp, but focuses mainly on some child abuse charges.

What would any Muslim country do with a Christian terror camp that planned to train children to shoot up Muslim schools? I bet they would release them on bail and suppress/change the news, then hope that everyone forgets about it.

Martha McSally won the primary for Arizona. Cernovich was stumping for Kelli Ward. There was something weird going on with the voting there too with several areas closed to voting.

Ward and Arpaio split the staunch conservative vote. It would be nice if the governor would appoint Ward to fill McCain's seat, but he probably won't.

 

[Canopus]

Yeah, John McCain definitely didn't die a bitter old man or anything.

 

[Kurgan]

I'd thought I'd chime in on the stuff that went on Aretha Franklin's funeral: It's not really surprising what happened there because it's happened before.

Back in 2002 when Senator Wellstone died, the Democrats used his funeral to trash Bush and Republicans so badly Jesse Ventura left in disgust.

In 2006, Coretta Scott King passed away. Jimmy Carter and Rev. Joseph Lowery used it to trash Bush. You don't like the guy? Fine, but don't do it at a funeral FFS.

The third time, it involves most of the black community's civil rights leaders and activists. This mostly happens around Republican Presidents, they would never do it if a Democrat was President but just say some side remarks about the GOP.

Those leaders are stuck in the 1960's and the Republican Party and the black community have been isolated from each other for decades because of what happened in that decade (Obama made things worse too). They want to keep the community resentful of the party for a long time. Republicans will respond by not doing anything and double down on the Religious Right.

Nothing to see here really.

An interesting news out of Russia about some Radical Feminist being charged with inciting hatred toward men.

Russian Feminist Blogger Charged With Inciting Hate Toward Men

A Russian feminist blogger has been charged with inciting hatred toward men on social media, less than two weeks after she told rights organizations she was being investigated for extremism.

A self-described radical feminist, Lyubov Kalugina warned the SOVA Center anti-extremist group in late August that she was subject of a pre-investigation check into her social media posts after an anonymous man had complained that her posts insulted him as a male.

Her case is part of a growing trend of tough anti-extremism laws applied to social media posts. Until recently, prosecutions were rarely applied to gender-related posts, the MBKh news website cited rights groups as saying.

“Criminal charges have been brought against Kalugina under Article 282 of the Russian Criminal Code,” the Omsk branch of the Investigative Committee told the local news website Gorod55.ru on Wednesday.

Kalugina faces up to 5 years behind bars under Article 282, which bans the “incitement of national, racial or religious enmity.”

Russian activists, social networks companies and even legislators have criticized anti-extremism charges which they say sweep up ordinary users who posted insensitive texts or images on their social media pages.

Gentlemen, meet the Russian broad in Russia who looks exactly like what you would expect in a Western Feminist.

Haven't found a good thread for my question so I'll ask here. Politics & War, close enough.

In WW2, before the Germans invaded Benelux and France, the frontline had been very peaceful. The Germans called it "Sitzkrieg" - "sitting war", while I have found, in various literature, that the Americans called it either "phoney war" or "phony war".

In history books in my language, I've seen the translation "telephone war", but it might be that the translators didn't know what "phoney" means and wrongly assumed it's derived from the word "telephone".

My question is:

Which is correct? Was it the "phoney war", fake war;

Or was it "phony war", as in: telephone -> phone -> phony, "to wage war only via telephone" (ironic, similar to "Sitzkrieg")?

 

[Parzival]

The term Phoney War customarily appears using the British spelling even in North America, rather than the American phony, although some American sources do not follow the pattern.[2] The first known recorded use of the term in print was in September, 1939, in a US newspaper which used the British spelling,[3] although other contemporary American reports sometimes used "phony" since both spellings were in use at the time in the US. The term appeared in Great Britain by January 1940[4] as "phoney", the only acceptable spelling there.

The Phoney War was also referred to as the "Twilight War" (by Winston Churchill) and as the Sitzkrieg[5] ("the sitting war": a word play on blitzkrieg created by the British press).[6][7][8] In French, it is referred to as the drôle de guerre ("funny" or "strange" war).[Note 1] In Polish, it is referred to as the Dziwna Wojna ("strange war").

The term "Phoney War" was probably coined by US Senator William Borah, who, commenting in September 1939 on the inactivity on the Western Front, said, "There is something phoney about this war."[3]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoney_War

So your question is about the word / expression or why none side did a move after the Brits and France declare war on Germany?
It wasn't a fake war, just a declaration of war with no side take action so far.

 

[BlackHussar]

Thank you for the clarification, Parzival!

So, it's a matter of spelling, like whiskey and whisky both being correct.

Yeah, my question was about the expression - so it was phoney/phony as in "fake", not as a (irregular/possibly non-existing) word "phony" derived from "telephone".

Nota bene:
Actually, the Allies commenced some very limited offensive action (Saar offensive!), but didn't push it through), as they thought it's gonna blow over and not grow up to be WW2...

 

[Parzival]

Yes there had be some offensive actions. Hitler gave the order to not cross the German border. The whole war was planned very bad and Hitler even send peace offers after the Poland incident. Also a questions, why France and the UK declare war on Germany but not on the Soviets? I know they had a contract with Poland but they had no interest to settle this thing.
