France’s political crisis is becoming a crisis for the globalist agends. The Fifth Republic could fall and take the EU with it.

The toppling of the minority Barnier government yesterday in France after a mere 91 days in power – the shortest of the Fifth Republic – on a vote of no confidence sets worrying historical alarm bells ringing. Only once before in the history of the Fifth Republic has the government lost a censure motion. The last was 1962 when Georges Pompidou’s cabinet was voted out. President Charles de Gaulle then proceeded to reappoint him forthwith thumbing his nose at his political opponents. But back in 1962 France had a respected political leader and a majority in parliament. Today it has neither. Therein lies France’s tragedy.

This political crisis could not come at a worse time, with the French economy already in crisis and the nation close to civil unrest over L'Empereur Macron's failure to address an immigration crisis that has led to dystopian social breakdown in the cities there aren't even any straws for the drowning government to reach for.

Happening in sync with Germany's economic meltdown and the collapse of the globalist ruling coalition there it also plunges the EU into an existential crisis. With the UK gone, Netherlands seemingly on the way out and Italy as always teetering on the brink, this would leave only Poland and Spain to prop up twenty one economic basket cases.

There are moments in the history of all states when a political crisis becomes a crisis of regime. With the benefit of documentary hindsight historians can detect when the fatal moment occurred and, in the words of the celebrated English historian A J P Taylor, when also ‘the turning point failed to turn’. Contemporaries are denied that temporal advantage; we cannot predict the Fifth Republic’s fate.

The fundamental change of our time: left and right have lost all meaning. The new split is between the establishment and their populist opponents. That is why it is also completely nonsensical to speak of a centre. There is no centre like there is no centre in the question whether a woman is pregnant or not.

Byt what is this establishment that apparently is behind the erosion o democracy and individual liberty and the push towards an authoritarian global government?

It can be argued that the establishment is not so much a conscious and organised effort with clearly defined goals, but rather a sort of collective psycho-dynamic with several origins: marxists, corporatists via The Wor;d Economic Forum (WEF) , United Nations bureaucracies and probably a few others.

These found out that they have a lot in common and they can each achieve some of their central goals by cooperating. That translates into globalism.

Look into the 2030 agenda of the United Nations (sustainable development goals). It reads like a modern version of the ideology of Benito Mussolini: a class of leaders to decide for everybody what is best for them and the people outside that elite classhave no say in the decision making process and no right to dissent. That is why elected governments outsource all important political and societal decisions to international organizations and other unaccountable bureaucracies.

No matter what side you are on (traditional left or right or anything else), there is exactly one central question: do you believe in democracy?

Democracy means that the people have the last say in what policies are enacted and which ones are revoked. Any configuration that removes this choice from the voters, is not democratic. The establishment today is therefore undemocratic in nature, and the populists the establishment sneers at so much, are the ones who try to restore democracy.
