President Macron is often
presented as a Rothschild Boy. This is true, but secondary. Thierry
Meyssan demonstrates that he owes his electoral campaign mostly to Henry
Kravis, the boss of one of the world’s largest financial companies, and to NATO
– a considerable debt which weighs heavily today on the solution to the Yellow
Vests crisis.
Emmanuel
Macron did not feel destined for a career in politics. As a young man, he hoped
to become a philosopher, then a senior civil servant, then a business banker.
To help him on his way, he frequented Uncle Sam’s fairy godmothers – the
French-American Foundation and the German Marshall Fund of the United States.
It was in this milieu that he
met Henry and Marie-Josée Kravis, in their residence on Park Avenue in New
York [1]. The Kravis couple, unfailing supporters of
the US Republican Party, are among the great world fortunes who play politics
out of sight of the Press. Their company, KKR, like Blackstone and the Carlyle
Group, is one of the world’s major investment funds.
« Emmanuel’s curiosity for
the ’can-do attitude’ was fascinating – the capacity to tell
yourself that you can do anything you set your mind to. He had a thirst for
knowledge and a desire to understand how things work, but without imitating or
copying anyone. In this, he remained entirely French », declares Marie-Josée
Drouin (Mrs. Kravis) today [2].
Bearing the double
recommendation of the Kravis couple and Jean-Pierre Jouyet [3], he integrated the closed circle of
François Hollande’s campaign team. In an e-mail addressed to US Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton, Director of political planning Jake Sullivan named the
four principal members of the Socialist candidate’s campaign team, including the
unknown Emmanuel Macron. He specified that Macron would probably become the
Director General of the Treasury (« the top civil servant at the Finance
Ministry ») [4].
However, when François
Hollande was elected, Emmanuel Macron became the assistant General Secretary of
the Elysée, a more political function. It seems that he had ambitions to
succeed Jean-Pierre Jouyet as Director of the Caisse des Dépôts et
Consignations (the Deposits and Consignments Fund), a post which was entrusted
in May 2014 to the General Secretary of the Elysée. A few days later, proposed
by the Kravis couple, he was invited to the Bilderberg Club, where he delivered
a violent intervention in perfect English against his boss, François Hollande.
When he returned to Paris, he resigned from Hollande’s cabinet.
The Kravis couple are among
the main pillars of the Bilderberg Club, which is administered by Marie-Josée Drouin-Kravis.
Contrary to a commonly-held belief, the Bilderberg is not a place where
decisions are made. Its archives attest to the fact that it was created by the
CIA and MI6, then became an organ of influence for NATO, which directly looks
after its security [5]. Since Macron’s intervention had been well
received, he became one of NATO’s men in France.
Having
left politics, he had no desire to return. He explained to his entourage on a
number of occasions that he wanted to become a university professor. With the
help of essayist Alain Minc (admitted to the Bilderberg Club in 2008), he
obtained a post at the University of Berlin and another at the London School of
Economics, but was unable to find a place at Harvard.
However,
in August 2014, three months after having « left politics », and on a
proposition by Jean-Pierre Jouyet (admitted in 2009 to the Bilderberg Club), he
was named by François Hollande as Minister of the Economy, Industry and Digital
Technology.
In a book published in 2018,
François Hollande assured that this choice had been his idea [6]. That may be, but would suppose that he had
not been informed about Macron’s intervention at the Bilderberg meeting –
although one of his Ministers and close friend Fleur Pélerin had also been
present.
In December 2014, Henry
Kravis created his own Intelligence agency, the KKR Global Institute. He
nominated at its head the ex-Director of the CIA, General David Petraeus. With
the Kravis couple’s private funds (the KKR investment funds), and without
referring to Congress, Petraeus pursued operation « Timber Sycamore » which had
been initiated by President Barack Obama. This was the largest weapons traffic
in History, implicating at least 17 states and representing many thousands of tons
of weapons worth several billion dollars [7]. As such, Kravis and Petraeus became the
main suppliers for Daesh [8].
The French President of
Bilderberg, Henri de Castries, invited the Deputy Mayor of Le Havre, Edouard
Philippe, to the annual meeting, which on this occasion was held in June 2015
in Austria. Philippe was to be re-invited in May 2016, this time in Germany.
During the presidential campaign in France, both Henri de Castries and Edouard
Philippe supported François Fillon, but dropped him as soon as Jean-Pierre
Jouyet [9] handed the Canard
Enchaîné the financial documents collected by the Inspectorate
of Finances concerning the suspicious employment of Madame Fillon [10]. They then joined Emmanuel Macron’s camp.
In April 2016, Emmanuel
Macron founded his political formation En Marche!, whose marketing strategy was
copied from that of Kadima (Forward!), Ariel Sharon’s pretended non-right,
non-left party. As for Macron’s programme, it was built on the notes of the
OCDE [11] and those of the Institut Montaigne, of
which Henri de Castries was president. In fact, En Marche! was created in the
offices of the Institut. But Castries fooled Fillon into believing that this
was pure coincidence , and that he did not support Macron. He continued for
months telling Fillon that he was ready to become his Prime Minister.
Initially,
the financing of En Marche! was not supervised. It was a simple association
which was allowed to receive gifts from abroad. The names of the sponsors were
not revealed to the Tax Office. Arch-billionaire Henry Kravis was one of them.
During
his campaign, Emmanuel Macron regularly met with the ex-President of the IMF,
Dominique Strauss-Kahn (« DSK »). These workshop meetings were denied until
they were revealed by Le Parisien, much later, when his reputation as a sexual
pervert had died down. DSK (admitted to the Bilderberg Club in 2000) brought
both the support of senior government officials and that of French company
management – the sociological alliance which had supported the collaborationist
régime of Philippe Petain and reformed again in the 1980’s around the Fondation
Saint-Simon.
In
June 2018, the Minister for Youth and National Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer,
was invited on the proposition of Henri de Castries to the annual meeting of
the Bilderberg Club, which was held this time in Italy. This lawyer, a
specialist in Constitutional law, has always linked political science and
education. He was one of the three central directors of the Ministry for
Education, then director of the prestigious Ecole Supérieure des Sciences
Economiques et Commerciales (ESSEC). He has known Castries for many years,
frequenting him at the Institut Montaigne.
When the Yellow Vests crisis
began in France [12], it quickly became evident that this was a
profound problem which could only be resolved by addressing the question of
global finance, which President Macron can not do. During his electoral
campaign, he surprised sponsors at a dinner in New York by making accusations
against the financialisation of the economy. It was no more than electoral
rhetoric. He was taken to task by the Mr. and Mrs. Kravis – financialisation is
the system that enables them to operate the « leveraged buy-outs », which have
made them what they are.
Faced
with the Yellow Vest movement, President Macron will have to sacrifice his
Prime Minister as an expiatory victim during the next elections (the European
elections of May 2019, which will certainly be lost). But apart from the fact
that he has to hang on for five more months, who is there to replace him? When
you owe the financing of your electoral campaign and the choice of your Prime
Minister to NATO, it is unthinkable to replace him without first referring to
the Alliance. The ideal candidate for the job would therefore be Jean-Michel
Blanquer.

he was in the USA, and Henry Kravis welcomed him in his offices on Avenue
Montaigne when he visited Paris.
