The David Hunter Perspective - 2024-07-03

1)French Election Turns Hard-Right?: The far-right 'National Rally' party of Ms. Marine LePen appears likely to take enough votes to place their young representative as France's next Prime Minister. The 28 yr old Jordan Bardella is expected to lead France's politics towards crackdowns in illegal immigration, and weaken French support for international efforts, like the war in Ukraine against Russia. How will this election effect global politics?

2)A National Conservativism Conference?: This week July 8-10, "The National Conservativism Conference" will be held at Washington DC's Capitol Hilton. Scheduled speakers include keynoter Steve Bannon (just sent to jail), Stephen Miller (Trump advisor), Vivek Ramaswamy, Congressman JD Vance, Senator Rick Scott, controversial attorney John Eastman, Paul Gottfried (Godfather of term alt-right), and conspiracy theorist Jack Posobic. Do they represent a new 'far right conservative movement' inside the US, similar to what is happening in Europe?

3)Russia To Lead The UN Security Council Again?: After being banned for it's invasion of Ukraine, having the International Criminal Court arrest warrant issued for Pres. Putin, etc, Russia has again become the Chairman of the UN Security Council, the UN's highest authority. Why?

4) Should Israel Be Blocked From UN? Israel has been cited as committing war crimes, and crimes against humanity, in Gaza. It has rejected various UN Security Council resolutions calling for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza and supply of humanitarian aid to suffering civilians. And Israel claims the UN is just a big anti-Israeli, anti-Semitic organization. So will the UN attempt to ban Israel from participating in that organization?
