Fun fact, the clergy was a crucial part of the coup, backed by CIA. The same people in power now, btw.

Fun fact, the same people who preach democracy to you all day,

plotted and went about to oust one of the most democratically legitimate leaders of his country by night.

Let that sink in for a moment.

  • I am almost sure that every single person who plotted the 1953 coup is dead. Maybe one of them survives somewhere aged 103 and no longer knowing their name.

    Should Macron be judged by what Napoleon III. (or for that matter, I.) did? Surely there is some kind of continuity between those French heads of state, they even fly the some colors and sit in the same palace.
