Obama interferes in foreign politics again. This time it's the French election.
As Wikileaks revealed1 back in February, in the build-up to the 2012 French presidential election, "All major French political parties were targeted for infiltration by the CIA."
As well as interfering in the previous French election, Obama has also attempted to influence the current French election, this time more openly, rather than covertly.
Yesterday, globalist puppet Emmanuel Macron tweeted a photo of himself on the phone with Obama, then followed it up with a tweet2 of their telephone conversation, during which Macron said, "We will keep in touch and our teams will liaise in order to organize a new contact and see how to work together." (Skip to 0:41s in the video below for the quote):
Given that Obama is no longer the US president, it's unclear what exactly they would work together on, but what is clear is that interfering in foreign elections is becoming something of a habit for Obama. As a reminder, as well as interfering in the French election, Obama also previously interfered in the British referendum on Brexit, and on that occasion his interference was far more extreme.
Obama actually threatened the UK with being put to 'the back of the queue'3 if they voted to leave the EU in the Brexit referendum. When asked about the possibility of a US/UK trade agreement, Obama threatened, “It’s not going to happen any time soon, because our focus is on negotiating with a big bloc, the EU. The UK is going to be in the back of the queue.”
At the time, Obama was criticized for this attempt to blackmail UK voters, with Justice Minister Dominic Raab saying, “We’ve got a lame duck president doing an old friend a favor for purely political reasons.” He added, “I don’t think the British people will be blackmailed by anyone.”
As well as issuing the political threat to the UK, Obama's threat was also misleading. As Richard Tice, co-founder of the Leave.EU campaign pointed out, “Obama doesn’t have the authority to deny us a deal, as he will be long gone before any such proposals are on the table.”
Thankfully, Donald Trump went on to win the US election and, rather than the manipulative threats issued by Obama, Trump has spoke of friendship with the UK. When asked if the UK was ‘at the front of the queue’, President Trump said, “We are going to work very hard to get it done quickly and done properly. Good for both sides.”
Returning to the tweets from Emmanuel Macron, this is what Wikileaks tweeted in response:
Wikileaks: "Macron and Obama to 'work together' to beat rivals he ordered CIA to infiltrate in 2012."
Wikileaks are referring to their previously released documents1 which revealed that, "All major French political parties were targeted for infiltration by the CIA's human and electronic spies in the seven months leading up to France's 2012 presidential election."
It's incredible that a man who has repeatedly interfered in foreign elections, both openly and covertly, would have the hypocrisy to criticize Russia for alleged involvement in the Podesta leaks and the DNC leaks, especially when you consider that all those leaks did was make the truth available to the American public. Whoever leaked the Podesta emails was a hero, just as the journalists who exposed Watergate were heroes.
But Obama's meddling in French elections wasn't done to make the truth available to the French public. The 2012 interference was spying, and Obama's interest in the current elections is an attempt to help defeat French nationalist politicians who put the interests of France first.
So here's an idea Obama... How about you keep out of foreign politics and let the French people decide their own future?
