The French president's new look - the Zelensky craze |
Volodymyr Zelensky has been turned into a rock star by the western corporate media. The public appears to lap it up. His signature green combat T-shirt and unshaven face helps to create the image that he is fighting on the front lines inside Ukraine. In reality Zelensky is squired in the US embassy in Poland reading scripts handed to him by his CIA handlers. It is the biggest acting job of his career.
Being desperate with declining popularity, and facing reelection, Emmanuel Macron in France has decided to join the war-time Zelensky look with a bit of fashion switch of his own - unshaven and wearing a military hoodie. Normally the former investment banker at Rothschild & Co only dresses in the finest Paris fashions. But one does what one must to stay popular and relevant.
So who is next? Will Germany's new Chancellor Olaf Scholz show up wearing Lederhosen in Munich for Oktoberfest? I hope he has good looking legs, otherwise it might not work. Of course he will be carrying a receipt for the weapons he has just transferred to Ukraine.
Or will Justin Trudeau in Canada soon be seen driving an 18-wheeler (loaded with gifts for his friend Zelensky) wearing Carhartt jeans and jacket?
Or how about Joe Biden? What will the aging and demented war-mongering US prez do to stay cool in the public eye? Maybe we'll see a re-run of his campaign for president where he told the tough-guy story about his almost fight with Corn Pop which is immortalized in this video.
It's a hard life being the leader of a country. One must come up with a story-line and a hip image in order to earn the public's adoration.
It's quite alarming to see the ways these 'leaders' can fool the public into thinking they are the top of the pops.
