Thoughts on the impeachment of a French president
"Resistance!" A new demonstration held by the Patriotes party in Paris against the EU, NATO and Macron on Saturday, was evidently a great success: French media ignored it.
Published: September 19, 2022, 8:25 am
At the call of the leader of the Patriotes, Florian Philippot, a rally was held in Paris on 17 September to protest against Emmanuel Macron’s policy of rationing and to demand his dismissal, and more broadly against NATO and the EU.
Un monde phénoménal pour #MacronDestitution la Paix le Frexit la sortie de l’OTAN le refus des rationnements et des sanctions !
Magnifique bravo ! 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 pic.twitter.com/0T2kP6S5Dz— Florian Philippot (@f_philippot) September 17, 2022
For months now, Philippot has carried the torch of the opposition to the government in the streets of Paris. Under a “Resistance” banner, “tens of thousands” of people gathered, according to the former MEP, to ask French President Emmanuel Macron and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen “to get out of the way”.
They also gathered to defend “freedom, peace and sovereignty”, in Florian Philippot’s words. The leader of the Patriotes took the opportunity to call to order the French media who would like to make people believe that these rallies are “holograms created by Putin”, an explicit reference to LCI which at the beginning of September had denied the very existence of one of its demonstrations because it was reported in the Russian press.
At the time of writing, nearly 48 hours after the rally, it should be noted that the mainstream media has apparently not reported on the rally, and the prefecture has not yet issued a statement on the event.
Philippot mentioned in other tweets a “phenomenal presence for [the impeachment] of Emmanuel Macron, peace, Frexit, exit from NATO, refusal of rationing and sanctions”, and a “considerable crowd”.
A phenomenal world for #MacronDestitution Peace the Frexit the exit from NATO the refusal of rationing and sanctions!
Magnificent congratulations France! 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

Is it possible to impeach Macron?
French lawyer Damien Viguier has offered some thoughts on the calls for impeaching president Macron.
“The French Head of State may commit the most serious crimes, but it has become legally impossible to prosecute him or her while in office. On the other hand, the High Court can declare his impeachment in case of a breach of duty by the President of the Republic that is clearly incompatible with the exercise of a mandate. And we are hearing more and more about the implementation of this procedure.
“I am not commenting on the relevance of impeachment on the merits. For while the substantive reasons may be very serious, they may also be very slight. The terms of the Constitution are sufficiently vague for impeachment to be easily justified. What are the ‘duties of a President of the Republic’? What can constitute a ‘breach’? Finally, how will it be ‘manifestly incompatible with the exercise of a mandate’? This is not the issue.
“I am only concerned with the procedural aspect of impeachment. It was the subject of a reform under Sarkozy. And from now on everything is locked up. Here are the six stages of this procedure (given Article 68 of the Constitution and the Organic Law of 24 November 2014). We will see that there is almost no chance for a procedure to go through all its stages and lead to impeachment. And the problem with this kind of blockage, in the event of a serious crisis and abuse of power, is that the only solution remains a coup d’état.”

NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s
CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.
European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections
EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter
The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.
The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide
Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.
Strong Confidence in German AfD
Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.
The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy
The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."
