In a decision that will undoubtedly outrage conservatives who have sought to highlight the horrors of terrorist groups like ISIS, a French court has ruled that Marine Le Pen, the leader of the party formerly known as the National Front (now National Rally) and runner-up in last year’s French presidential vote, must undergo a psychiatric evaluation to determine whether “she is capable of understanding remarks and answering questions.”
In other words, the court is treating Le Pen as if being conservative is a mental illness.
The ruling follows formal charges that were brought against Le Pen in March after she tweeted gruesome photos of the bodies of innocent people subjected to horrific deaths at the hands of ISIS. The decision horrified conservatives who accused the French government of attempting to criminalize conservative political speech, as it was only the latest example of a disturbing trend in the European Union, per the Local.
Le Pen tweeted her anger at the decision, saying the court’s ruling felt like a “hallucination.”

Off with their leftist lying heads…
If it works for France bye bye Trump
It’s civility war time now: Also include…bye bye Hillary, Bill, Obama, 2x Bush for what they have done to America!
Well … that’s one way to deal with the TRUTH … pretend it is actually a mental illness.
The history of using psychiatry as a political weapon to silence and punish dissenters is an ugly one.
They figure that if It worked for Hitler, it’s work for all Progressives everywhere.

In March Le Pen was charged with circulating “violent messages that incite terrorism or pornography or seriously harm human dignity” and that can be viewed by a minor. And as part of their investigation it appears magistrates in Nanterre near Paris have ordered Le Pen to visit a psychiatrist for an expert assessment.
Experts have told the French media that expert psychiatric tests are run of the mill for people charged with these kind of offences and have not specifically been ordered for Le Pen. Jacky Coulon national secretary of the magistrates union told France Info radio the procedure was “automatic” for charges related to publishing certain kinds of images.
Well, this isn’t really new, I’ve seen this sort of thing before.
Of course I was behind the Iron Curtain at the time.
Shades of anti-Soviet agitation.
This is what happens when you elect socialists or socialist take power.
Well this sort of makes sense doesn’t it?
After all, most readers of this blog (including me) consider liberalism to be a mental disorder.
How far can the French political elite get away with in suppressing a rising political reform movement?
Declaring an opposition politician mentally ill, because their political support has grown to mainstream levels. That worked in a communist dictatorship of the Soviet Union because the concept of a liberal democracy was declared a heresy, and it was a police state.
But in a liberal democracy like France, citizens supporting the Le Pen, understand that Macron’s gov’t. telling them, that they must be insane, too. It’s the same mistake Hillary made with her basket of deplorables quip.
The French government has had 10,000 plus soldiers deployed in country to protect against jihadi attacks. The French gov’t. notified the Christian churches that they were vulnerable to attack but were on their own, as the French government didn’t have the resources to protect them. French intelligence after the Bataclan/Charlie Hebdo/Cannes jihadi attacks slaughtering hundreds and many more smaller attacks. They admitted they have 40,000 identified jihadi suspects under surveillance. That is a small army.
There is no hiding Islamic jihad under a psychiatric order. Trying to do so, shows that it’s the Macron government that is crazy.
Military intelligence predicts either a France divided up into Islamic areas and non-Muslim areas, like Lebanon or an outright civil war. Pres. Macron has already indicated he favours (devolving state sovereignty) setting up legally recognized (self-governed in effect) Muslim majority enclaves.
Those enclaves will operate, as they do everywhere else, as Forward Operating Bases for jihad.
France is going to go through some “interesting times” over the 30 years.
sumbuddy in Fwance been reading up on Stalin’s gulags and mental hospitals and how to get someone into it.
back in the days, I used to joke you HAD to be crazy to go up against the kremlin bosses.

– hard core leftist terrorist groups in the 60s: badder meihoff etc
looking like the final push aka ‘end times’ gonna come from INTERNAL source. sad.

Action! France tackles screen sexism with subsidy for women
Paris (AFP) – France is to give movies made by women a special subsidy bonus in a bid to counter sexism in the film industry, its culture minister said Wednesday.
Francoise Nyssen, who helped launch the 50/50 pledge on gender equality earlier this year that has since shaken Hollywood, said productions that are “exemplary” on equality will get an extra 15 percent subsidy.
…”When things do not change themselves or change too slowly, we have to change them ourselves,” the minister said as she announced the experiment, which will initially last for a year.

Franc-ly Kate, it’s time to branch off into film making !
Small Dead Animals productions releases: “Gopher it” – starring siblings Cooey 39 and Cooey 75, supporting roles featuring, Winchester pump , Browning S.A., CZ 452, Anschutz 64 and Gevelot. Huge crowd scenes will feature tens of thousands of *ground squirrels and pasture land as far as the eye can see.
*(To reflect the current military meme, each gopher will be outfitted with a white checkered Kaffiyeh. )
During her Academy Award acceptance speech, Kate will dedicate the film to the memory of Chris Kyle.
At which time Hollywood Actor’s Guild members, in attendance, will leave to go into therapy.
There comes a time when you have to decide that debating your enemies is a waste of time because you are not gong to change their minds. At that point you should either accept it, and submit, or kill your enemies as an alternative strategy to debating them.
The French are socialist, it appears to be in their DNA. Whether it is France, or Quebec, or Louisiana…
Le Pen is a nationalist. She doesn’t support France getting involved in USA nation building exercises.
She opposes Macron strengthening the jihadists to ouster Assad.
Macron is from the Banque Rothschild & Cie and supported by the big business leaders.
Macron & Cie are NOT LEFTISTS. They pander for votes with token offerings.
Le Pen calls BS on the fake left-right dichotomy used by TPTB to divide nationalists.

Another female with more gonads than that REP “war hero” MIC shill McCain is a DEM.
She also condemns arming the jihadists.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s Interview with Tucker Carlson 5/49 min
You never really know someone til they beat you up. Are we getting a good whiff of Leftism or do we need more and more and more and more … until the actual physical existence of non-Leftards becomes the question … in 3, 2, 1 …?
I feel sorry for this judge. Some day, in the not-too-distant future, a resistance member is going to pay his/her ass a visit…
In the meantime, I predict Marine Le Pen tells the court to go pound sand. I would.
