Dr. Yuri Kosov, a scientific consultant for the Russian National Security Council, hinted that the Rothschilds were "managing and directing" the French elections by standing behind presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron and trying to eliminate his political rivals François Fillon and Marine Le Pen. His statements were posted on the Internet TV channel of the "Russian People's Line" on February 24.
Yuri Kosov: There is a new politician on the political horizon of France, a new rising star: [Emmanuel] Macron. His rise was totally unexpected. Macron is led by a certain spirit, and this spirit is not a divine one. His heavyweight political opponents are being eliminated from the scene.

So we can see an emerging transnational political elite group, a real political elite of the Western world, enjoying vast economic resources. Macron has given a certain remarkable indication: He used to work for the Rothschild bank. He is one of their own. Nobody just comes in there and gets a career promotion just like that. This means that he successfully passed the test of this political elite.
