Attorney Robert Barnes has reviewed French President Macron's libel complaint against American podcaster Candace Owens, and concludes that Candace recklessly went too far in her public pronouncements and is in serious trouble. His comments:
"The First Amendment heavily shapes libel law in America immunizing opinions that do not imply facts, statements that do not reference an identifiable individual, and claims made with a good faith basis and due regard for their truth remain. Other privileges or immunities may exist depending upon the jurisdiction, including the fair reporting privilege concerning governmental bodies, anti-SLAPP procedural protections, and the like.
· "A good start to assess how courts will likely construe the law on any given topic is the pattern jury instructions courts commonly issue as guidance for trial judges to explain the law to juries. To prove libel of a public figure requires: a statement made to a third person (“publication”); the statement could be reasonably understood to be about that third person (“colloquium”); the statement could be reasonably understood to state or imply a fact about that third person harmful to their reputation (“defamatory”); the statement was factually false (‘falsity”); and the defendant either knew the statement was false, had doubts about its truth, or disregarded a substantial and unjustifiable risk the statement was false (“actual malice”).
· "In the Candace Owens case, the Macrons allege the following lies and libels by Owens: that Mr. Macron is an MK-Ultra project whose parents are not his real parents, where he was kidnapped, abused, engaged in incestuous relations with his wife as a close blood relative as part of the Rothschild family, murdered journalists who asked questions about this topic, bribed and extorted other journalists who asked these questions, admitted he engaged in illicit sexual assault by his now wife when he was a 15 year old student and she a 39 year old teacher, that he engaged in the crimes of forgery, fraud, bribery, extortion, blackmail, attempted murder, murder, incest, and rape, while worshiping Satan and Baphomet in a cult, and was supporting the Ukraine War for as long as anyone asked these questions about these topics; that Mrs. Macron is a biological male, who fathered 3 kids with another woman hidden from view, that her brother doesn’t exist (but that she is secretly him), that she never married, never gave birth to any children, engaged in the crimes of forgery, fraud, bribery, extortion, blackmail, attempted murder, murder, incest, and rape, while worshiping Satan and Baphomet in a cult, and admitted she had no photos before the age of 30 and admitted she engaged in statutory rape of Mr. Macron; and that in effort to disguise sources, fabricate evidence, and ignore exculpatory evidences, lied about what documents or photos existed in books, articles, documentaries, and even the retraction letters sent by the Macrons repeatedly to her denying the allegations and providing substantial evidence proving the falsity of her statements.
· "The evidence presented to Owens rebutting her claims included birth records, marriage records, court transcripts of sworn testimony, extensive photographic records, and a wide range of records vetted and verified by third party sources. Candace Owens apparent sources include a self-proclaimed psychic, a self-proclaimed amateur detective, and a right-wing newsletter writer whose first libels predated the Macrons ability to now sue, including two defendants already found criminally liable for libel on these precise claims.
· "Delaware includes a “no mischievous nor malicious” purpose defense, and the complaint alleges she profited substantial sums for these claims while bragging about the reputational harm it would cause the Macrons, ignoring retraction requests and lying to her audience about the content of the redaction requests. Additionally, the Complaint identifies a recurrent pattern, including Owens past libels, fitting the Macrons into devil-worshipping, Baphomet-idolizing Satanists, drinking Christian blood, who use child sex trafficking to perpetuate their power through pedophile rape, as she alleges those identified as Jews are really these devil worshipper Kazarians, who wrongly disparage Nazi doctor Mengele, and include Josef Stalin, and now the Macrons.
· "Reviewing the complaint, it is useful to remember the Macrons only need to win on 1 single statement being libelous, not every statement. Reviewing some of the sources cited in the detailed complaint, it is nigh on impossible seeing Candace win at trial. Then compound that with the venue – a 2-to-1 Democratic jury pool to the left of Austin, Texas and a judicial pool that is one of the most partisan in the nation..."
Serious numbers of migrants arrived in Massachusetts from 1630 - 1640. Roughly 21,000. By 1700 they had become 91,000. Their immediate priorities: having families, building farms, forming towns, and building institutions Old England never developed on local levels. But the new Americans didn’t just reproduce the country they left. They built institutions England didn’t yet have.
Year 1 — a seagoing vessel launched at Medford, 4 July 1631. The shipwrights had been sent out in 1629, ahead of the fleet.
Year 4 — representative government. Elected deputies sitting in the General Court.
Year 6 — Harvard. £400 voted for “a schoale or colledge.”
Year 8 — a printing press, the only one in British North America. Glover died on the voyage out; his widow Elizabeth moved the operation to Cambridge and got it running.
Year 10 — the Bay Psalm Book, the first book printed in America.
Year 11 — the Body of Liberties, read aloud at every General Court.
Year 12 — the 1642 law: every ...
This is the cultural shift we were told would never happen. But 3D-printed fake meat and fish have officially hit American grocery stores. The U.S. retail launch of the PERFECTA brand introduces 3-D-printed meat and seafood to grocery stores across the Northeastern United States.
The packaging DOES NOT disclose that the company’s products are manufactured using 3D-printing technology. Instead, beautiful photos on the packaging make the five products look real and irresistible.

France is burning again. Political agitators, including Muslim groups, claim to have fielded 480,000 rioters in the last few days to "burn it all down." They shout “wallah," set schools on fire, douse teachers in gasoline, burn the faces of unsuspecting citizens, chase and beat police officers, and wreck the streets.
What is happening before our eyes has nothing of the usual banal student agitation. It is a dress rehearsal ahead of the election that matters most for Europe’s fate: May 2027.
What is happening in France concerns the entire West. These are extremely serious social-racial uprisings aimed at the destruction of our countries and our culture.
The wreckers want neither better schools nor more social benefits. They want to attack the countries that took in their parents and grandparents.
Europe wanted a society without violence. What it got is a society without defense.
The attempt at integration and assimilation has failed.
