The MSM make big claims about who is convicted of what, but what is really happening in the courts?

One of the big indications that the theory is true, is the fact that the Elysée has immediately gone for persecution and court cases.
Please keep in mind that suing persons, especially for such issues as defamation and libel, is not at all common in Europe. The US habit of going to court at the drop of a hat is really not normal practice in Europe.

If this idea that Brigitte Macron is in fact Jean-Michel Trogneux was an absurd idiocy, the reaction of the Elysée would logically be totally different. Keep in mind they have never reacted in any way to the very persistent rumours that Emmanuel Macron is gay (and which they seem to have encouraged even).
So why not have a similar reaction here? If it were all just a stupid nonsense, they would laugh about it, and show some simple, straightforward proof. Like Michelle Obama did (whether faked or not): “here are the pictures and testimonies of my childhood”.
Since the claim here is that Brigitte is in fact her brother, the simplest way to debunk the rumours and expose the “conspiracy theorists” as utter fools would be for Brigitte and Jean-Michel to appear as brother and sister together in public.

But they don’t. Ever. Not once.
Which is utterly incomprehensible.

Instead, the Elysée has now a high-placed military official on the court cases. That is absurd in many ways, and ties in with the main question of ‘what on earth is going on in French politics?’.

The reaction is completely weird, and the content of the court cases and what goes on in them is even weirder.
Note that:

  • Court verdicts, even though public, do not have to be published in France. It is not compulsory to put them online.
    If a decision is not available in the public space, it is almost impossible for the public to know what the court really decided. Legally, any French person can ask for a copy or go consult the verdict at the court, but that of course is an absurdly restricted way of being ‘publicly available’ compared to the normal procedure of online publishing of court verdicts.
    This restriction makes it super easy for MSM to publish false claims about the verdicts, as nobody who can actually prove their articles and news reporting wrong will be given a platform of comparable reach.
  • There are two actions that seem to have triggered the court case response from Brigitte Macron:
    • Natacha Rey‘s (private) whatsapp messages of June 22, 2021 (and following) to Catherine Auzière-Audoy, in which Natacha claims to “know everything!” and that she would expose Catherine and her husband for the frauds Natacha believes they are
    • Natacha’s 4-hour discussion with Amandine Roy on youtube of December 10, 2021 in which she at length and with many repetitions explains her finds and her theories
  • Three weeks after she sent her message to Catherine Auzière-Audoy, on July 13, 2021, Natacha was arrested, without any warrant, and interrogated for five hours. Her phone was seized and not returned to date.
    The brutality and overreaction is indicative of the way this affair is dealt with: the gross disproportionality with which Brigitte Macron attacks the Brigittologists is striking.
  • Natacha and Amandine’s 4-hour youtube video, which was in fact the first really public discussion about the possibility of Brigitte Macron being Jean-Michel Trogneux, went suspiciously viral in only a few days (Amandine had a small channel that in normal circumstances would take at least several weeks to generate a viral video), and was removed by youtube only 5 days after it was streamed.
    This video is the basis for the 3 cases filed by Brigitte Macron and the Auzières.
    The video was fully transcribed and attested by a bailiff on the demand of Brigitte Macron, as it is in fact the only proof and exactly the act of “defamation” that is being held against them.
    However, according to Natacha’s lawyer, François Danglehant, the plaintiffs did not use the full transcript (91 A4 pages!) for their cases: someone had made a summary, and it is the text of the summary that was used, instead of the original words spoken.
    In a defamation case, that is obviously not acceptable, as the complaint is exactly that the accused said something that is defaming, and not that how someone else interpreted or reformulated it is defaming.
  • On top of this, France has a short statute of limitations for the crime of defamation: only three months. As Brigitte messed up her filing from the get-go (see the First Case), that deadline was not met really: only the summary was filed as being defaming, with passages from it used in the different cases.
    However, again according to Danglehant, the courts accepted that the summary was in fact the whole transcript of the whole video, and so everything in the video was allowed to be used against Natacha and Amandine, even though the full transcript was never filed within the three months after the streaming.
  • The above two points need to be understood in order to grasp the meaning and reason for the “counter-cases” which Natacha and her lawyer Dangléhant have filed against the judges who accepted these illegal procedures and against Brigitte Macron and the Auzières (Seventh, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth Case).
  • Emmanuel Macron flatly lies in his interview of August 19, 2025, where he claims that the Macrons at first “just let it pass”, because they were scared of the Streisand effect.
    The opposite is true: they almost certainly were already considering legal action, as Natacha Rey was already arrested in July 2021, before anything had been publicly discussed about Jean-Michel Trogneux as the real identity of Brigitte Macron.
    Moreover, the work on the literal transcript of the video must have been ordered immediately after the airing of the video, as it was completed and attested already 6 days later.
    And the specific video was, as requested by the Elysée, deleted within 5 days after it was published: this is obviously the literal opposite of “letting it pass”.
  • So far, the cases against the Brigittologists never touch on the central issue: the fact that Brigitte Macron was born as Jean-Michel Trogneux, and has usurped the identity of Brigitte Trogneux.
    It would be the simplest things for any court to ask Brigitte Macron and le Petit Gros to provide a DNA test (not that these things can’t be falsified of course), but they of course never do.
    It is obvious that the French courts have so far not treated both of them as ordinary, regular citizens, and that the law does not apply to them as it does to others.
  • Brigitte Macron and Jean-Michel Trogneux, who are legally two ordinary citizens, have so far never shown themselves in court, always getting away with excuses that the courts accept at face value.
  • Several of the judges, and in particular the ones that have convicted Natacha and Amandine, and refused the request for cassation, are in fact appointed by Emmanuel Macron himself or by his ministers, which obviously is a clear example of conflict of interest leading to partiality if they have to judge the wife of the person who gave them their prestigious and cushy job.

Some thoughts about the Elysée’s judicial attack strategy

It is not unlikely that Natacha and Amandine were chosen exactly to be the patsies in the strategy of the Elysée to attack the unveiling of a very nasty truth, in order to have a claim that “these conspiracy theorists were convicted”, without ever going into the details of the conviction, just to shut everybody up.
Another idea which is voiced by some, is that Natacha’s intuitive theories, as outlandish as they may seem, may be so close to the truth that she had to be stopped at all cost, and her research capacity crippled immediately.
Both of these ideas may well be true at the same time, they are optional, not mututally exclusive.

Beyond all speculation, it is undeniable that the reaction of the Elysée makes no sense whatsoever, unless the theory is true. Then it suddenly makes total sense:

  • denying doesn’t make the claims go away
  • the few pictures they put out made things only worse: they are only more reasons to question, and the fact that they are so few is very suspect
  • there are obviously no real pictures that can be published of Brigitte Macron as a kid or young woman or pregnant or with her young family or even with her husband only (even after a thirty-year marriage!), as she was Jean-Michel Trogneux
  • so there can be no truthful response other than “yes, you are right”, which is out of the question, as it would open up an immense Pandora’s box of illegality that Brigitte and Emmanuel were permitted
  • but the whole issue won’t go away, and thus a strategy to ‘debunk’ the theory needs to be created
  • the French media are completely controlled by the Elysée so if some court case can be won, it can be spun as having debunked the theory
  • attacking the researchers is tricky as it might expose way too much in court and even get the judges to order publication of hitherto hidden documents
  • but here are these two very easily discredited women who talk a big game but clearly are quite naive and make wild, hasty claims
  • make their video go viral by using the press, then attack it in court for defamation, and then claim the whole claim is debunked

Xavier Poussard explains that on top of this, there was a strategy to stop the information stream from gaining traction nationally, but, more importantly, internationally, by removing the main content producers:

  • block the X account of Zoé Sagan which relays loads of the discoveries of Xavier Poussard (successful)
  • remove Xavier Poussard from Faits & Documents (successful)
  • intimidate Candace Owens to remove her past content and stop discussing the topic (failed spectacularly)

Everything here is backfiring. Xavier Poussard is removed from Faits & Documents, but thanks to his collaboration with Candace Owens, has only gained a larger platform.
Natacha Rey and Amandine Roy have been cleared from all allegations, and Natacha’s lawyer, François Danglehant, exposes the corruption shown in court by the French judiciary, and is fighting it in the European Court.
The cyber bullying case has only proven France is descending into dictatorial censorship, and may collapse in appeal. It is also a very questionable abuse of justice.
The case against Candace Owens is going to be spectacular, no matter what happens. It is obviously absurd that Emmanuel Macron proudly claims that Brigitte will deliver ‘scientific’ proof to the US court, while she blatantly refuses to do so in the French court cases. If she has “scientific proof”, why on earth did she not provide it 5 years ago, and stop this whole circus from even developing?
It seems extremely doubtful that Brigitte will come with any real proof any time, other than proof of her being Jean-Michel Trogneux. So what’s the game in Delaware all about? Are the Macrons betting on that case never being heard?

It’s desperation on full display, leading to nothing but very bad options, as they all depend on lying and suppression of the truth.
Which, as history has shown, always fails.
