Marine Le Pen has continued her gradual political rise in
France so that in the French political polling she now
stands as the likeliest to succeed the man who beat her in
2017, Emmanuel Macron. If she does that, then she will
probably bring bigger changes to international relations
than any national leader has done ever since U.S. President
Harry S. Truman started the Cold War on 25
July 1945.
She is the daughter of the far-right

far-right Party that he had founded, she expelled him from
it, and has made increasingly clear, since then, that she is

Conservatives in America demonize George Soros for
funding the Democratic Party and U.S.-imperialistic (or
“neo-conservative”) international organizations, but
he’s actually just a part of a network of around a
thousand or so global aristocrats or billionaires who do
this. Furthermore, within the individual U.S.-and-allied
nations, the billionaires who fund all of the domestic
political parties do the same thing in their own way; and,
in the United States, a different billionaire, the
conservative Charles Koch, is a mega-donor to Republican
politicians and is demonized by Democratic Party voters much
