In 2018, reports revealed that Steve Bannon met with French far-right leaders, including associates of Marine Le Pen, to discuss refinancing the National Front (now National Rally). The talks highlighted the party’s reliance on Russian funding, suggesting a wider effort to funnel Russian money into Europe’s far-right movements.

This alone should prompt deeper investigations across Europe, adding to the growing list of reasons to scrutinize these financial ties and inform the public about what’s at stake.

Why don’t we see this everywhere in the headlines? Where is the opposition? Why isn’t anyone talking about this?

    I don’t know much about France, but there has been frequently reports about Russian and Chinese money for Germany’s far-right AfD.

    Both malign state actors have been accused of supporting both the European far-right and far-left. One good overview regarding China:

    Marriage of Convenience: How European Far-Right and Far-Left Discovered China

    The convergence of some far-right and far-left political parties in Europe with China poses challenges not only to EU-China relations but also to European democratic institutions. As the ideological divides deepen and foreign influence operations become more sophisticated, the risk of manipulation grows, threatening both political stability and public trust.

    I fully agree that this should be more investigated by the media.

    It seems pretty obvious something is happening globally and America is the first battle.

    People need to start thinking more beyond their nations because I think the major nations are already corrupted. Even talking about ww3 seems naive because the real enemy of honest humanity is spread and intertwined throughout all foundations of global business. The same “Game” that built these nations is the enemy. And it’s the same “Game” regardless of status… You can be poor and play the Game, you can be rich and play the Game. The Game is the enemy of all of us. The current winners of this Game already own the nations and use the nations as tools, the same with political parties. And there’s people like them from street dealers to small town politicians that are all on the same mindset that live for themselves and their ideologies and not the essence of life and freedom that should be protected.

    It’s already over and there is no turning back. Everyone everywhere should be obtaining weapons. World wide civil war.
