So, I was somewhat right. Scandal did erupt. If not before first round, but finally before last 24 hours of 2nd round voting. Putin is still unbeatable in chase it seems. Except more controversy like USA. Voter fraud allegation,possible recount etc. This is not the end.
Copying here comments from the comment section on the French election and the last minute wiki leaks hack--Jeanne
By now, many here know that the French election is being hacked. No surprise. Here’s one of the links.
Here's what to expect based on past events: EXPECT ‘quasi’ (although actual events) ‘terrorist’ attacks that take lives, especially right before Democracies hold elections, but continuing year-round; continued Russian hackings into elections in Democracies; releases of slanderous, right-wing, lying stories and propaganda, especially just before Democracies hold elections, vote-tampering and actions of voter-fraud during elections in Democracies. Putin’s Puppet, Donald J.Trump’s continuing year-round, daily verbal and Tweeted, Sociopathic Republican Propaganda Routine against the former Democratic President of the USA, Barack Obama, all Democrats; Trump and his supporters/enablers wearing blue ties and blue dresses whenever they try to mock Democrats and all other ‘liberals’ as he signs their vicious, ruthless Bills, Agenda into Law. and wear their red ties and red dresses when propagandizing to their base of ignorant, sycophant, stupido supporters.
If the media can’t talk about it how will anyone in France know what’s in the hacked documents?
it maybe the hacking happened too late to influence the election?
UK next?

That’s exactly what Putin wants, Stu. Very similar to the type of trick that Others pulled here by having James Comey and the FBI re-open the probe into Hillary Clinton’s e-mails — (that had been officially closed due to no findings.) — during the critical ‘Eleventh Hour’ of our 2016 Election here. What has just been done to Macron is vicious. He cannot publicly defend himself against the damaging lies. The French Government ought to suspend that blackout due to these particular circumstances. By not doing so, I can conclude that their present gov’t must want the Fascist La Pen to win.
Anyone on social media is going to hear about the Russian hacking in France.
Excellent article on how #WikiLeaks incorrectly inflated the importance of & was key in spreading #MacronLeaks on twitter.

Hi Jeanne,
The "Forces of darkness" are at work again, in France. Le pen is having her lead in the first round radically reduced in the second, and it will be closer than we think, as 15% of the left are going to vote for Le pen, based on Lenin's theory, "The worse, the better". A large section of the left will simply refuse to vote for Machon, as they regard him, rightly, as a Globalist and a neo-liberal, who they would normally be fighting. They will abstain. Likewise the conventional rightist vote. S it is not over Yet. I detect that it swings back and forth quite strongly, and now, literally five hours before the polls open in France, here in Europe, it is still swaying. I think Machon will win, but it might be a lot closer than is comfortable. My gut feeling is one of it not mattering as much as people think, who wins, as this is part of a political shock wave from globalisation and mass revolt that is not going to go away after this election. Whoever wins, will find France ungovernable, shaken by the same powerful social and economic forces of Neo-liberalism, and the international forces and influences that come from it, and its Globalisation. Sometimes, when the ocean liner hits the iceberg, it simply does not matter who the Captain is. Things in Europe are now very close to the point of no return, and are going to run to their conclusion, no matter who runs a countries formal government. Whatever they try to do, the oligarchs and the Globalist free market will wreck it, and they are highly skilled at it. When Mitterand, the Former French president, won a sweeping victory based on serious reform and social process, and started to get real results in the improvement of conditions of the mass of the population, it lasted just three years, before the international institutions did to him what is now being done to Venezuela, and the whole thing collapsed, the right took power again, and there was a reset of the country back to hard line capitalism. It was a disaster. Now, under much more dangerous conditions, the Neo-Con elite are having to take even more severe measures to retain control of the system, and have let loose the hard right semi-fascist and racist political forces against mass opposition to the Globalists. That, in itself, will be a disaster, and I sense the whole outcome will bite back at them. Fascists have traditionally been used by the elites to control the masses, but it always backlashes, on them, and leads to they also being subjected to fascism. See German history. That history is now repeating itself. Today, in Europe, in France, we shall see who is going to win, and become Captain of the Titanic. Which was one of the most pointless jobs in History. Moral. The Capitalist Iceberg always wins. For what it is worth, I predict a Machon win, but in the long term, it does not really matter.
FRENCH ELECTION:
I just did a Divination, using the I Ching, on the French Election. It was succinct. First Hexagram: Danger. Second Hexagram: Increasing. Less than five hours to go now, until the polls open in France. Europe waits.
Very true zoron! I guess it was decided that day when macron got only 23% vote.
Election win mean nothing if you can't govern the country. I guess traditional parties vote share and reduction of popularity will continue in june and macron won't get majority there. Left and NF will do better than previous elections there. They won't let him run government or sucessfully implement his agendas. Also he won't be able to find solutions to economic problems, terrorism, growing nationalism etc. In short france would have run into a political stalemate, where everyone tries to get the full share of power but fails.
Economy would suffer as a result and law & order would detoriate. Europe's oncoming economic crisis will mean EU won't be able to do to much help.
But, president le pen would have plunged the country and continent into a chaos very soon. With macron things won't change, solution of problems won't be found but reform would happen slowly atleast.
I think, ASsian, that that about defines it. No immediate solution to the problems of France.
Zoron when you say that the capitalists/oligarchs/neo-cons/neo liberals (they differences between those groups aren't large) always win, I know you are right, but this can't keep going on forever, ad nauseum ad infinitum.
Can you please expand in a larger post about what is going on in the world, where these forces come from, where it's all headed, and why this is happening.
There is a global popular uprising against these forces going on, but it resembles a childhood temper tantrum. People vote for whoever they think will cause the most chaos, its voting out of spite.
There are so many factors to take in to account, namely historical precedent and regional culture. When I was meditating on the French election I was wrong as to the candidate opposed to Le Pen but I think I got the gist of it right. Le pen will take more of the middle and south (later after that meditation I read an article that said that the south is more conservative and that le pen has strength there, whereas Macron is strong in the north) and Macron will take the north and it will be close, extremely close but he will edge out a win.
I'm sorry for asking you to do a scan on all this, I guess I just want to understand better what's going on. The popular backlash against the establishment is also reflected in the brexit vote. I just really want to understand. Also whats this week's mythical animal?

Someone asked me on April 24 in the comments section (below the World Predictions Page) what I thought would happen. I said I thought Macron would win because I couldn't see the French swinging that far to the right. They are the country that helped America win the revolutionary war. They are an inherently liberal people. I don't know if it was psychic or just common sense. I couldn't see the French falling for that last minute Putin fake news email dump.
That said, I was still a bit nervous. I thought the only way a fascist could win in France would be if the election was literally stolen.
From EU's point of view macron's win is a great boost. After all EU was found on basis of franco-german alliance. A le pen win would have destroyed it. So, macron will remain in power upto 2022. With merkel's party performing well(her main opponent is also pro-EU, so it doesn't matter), EU is secure for now. So, 2022! It rightly fits the timeline, things goes according to the schedule.
They are the country that helped America win the revolutionary war. They are an inherently liberal people.
Jeanne don't forget about Napoleon
21 years after the American revolution the French crowned Napoleon
12 years later - 3.5 million people in Europe were dead.
This weeks mythical animal;
Himalayan/Tibetan Yeti.
Believed to be a Hominid, wanders about at high altitude in the mountains, looks a bit bear like, has a pointy head, build and weight of a very large Gorilla....seen very rarely. Known to locals as "The abominable Snow Man". Get tracking, people!.
I don’t know that everyone really understands the full extent of what happened.
For those who don’t know, the French have a media blackout 24 hours before elections where you can’t campaign and can be prosecuted for doing so. An hour before the media blackout started, Wikileaks / Fancy Bear (the same Russian hacking group that attacked Hillary’s campaign and spread it through Wikileaks) dropped a massive amount of the moderate candidate’s emails, contracts, strategy docs and mixed them with false documents. It was exactly what they did to Hillary but worse. Macron got a brief statement out before the deadline.
The horrible thing is the French press is literally barred by law from setting the record straight. This attack was pretty much a taunting by Putin and the other dark forces that “we’re in control and you can’t stop us”.
The people I talked to who are only sort of paying attention to politics did NOT know about what happened or even understand what this meant. It’s pretty scary that the forces of darkness are clearly working overtime to drag the world into a very dark place. I have to admit I’m somewhat stunned that the French weren’t able to prevent this after what happened to Hillary.
