Interesting take on all of this being engineered to be taken over by a technocracy.

Imagine being that scared of a lawsuit, only to get one from the victim you could be bothered to help.

My friend Chris. He's been battling, and is well known in the Miata community in SoCal, especially as a tuner and someone always willing to help at the track.

And here my friends, is how lawfare it supposed to work:

https://www.politico.eu/article/fran...t-case-guilty/

Marine Le Pen barred from running for French president

The sentence was delivered after the French far-right icon was found guilty of embezzling European Parliament funds.

Remember, you most save democracy but charging your political opponent with a crime, finding them guilty, oh and the punishment? you can't run for office anymore. It's not fascist that way, it's the law.

Politico is so transparent. LePen is a centrist and not far right as mentioned. The charges politico outlines sound like standard bureaucratic disorganization and not embezzlement.

LePen has faced strong political opposition by the CIA and usaid, because it's okay for us to interfere with other countries elections but they are not allowed to interfere with ours. We interfere with our own, thank you very much.

Our government has grown quite fond of hard left fascist leaders.
