Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
The Old Man died, aged 96.
It’s about the worst time he could have died, because he lived to see his daughter ruin his legacy, but not long enough to see her get elected.
It’s a very old age, 96.
Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder of the French far-right Front National party, now known as National Rally (RN), has died at 96.
The founder and longtime leader of the French far-right Front National party, since rebranded as the National Rally (RN), Jean-Marie Le Pen, died on Tuesday, his family said.
He was 96.
In a statement on Tuesday, National Rally called Le Pen a “courageous and talented politician” who “was determined to serve his country without fail.”
Le Pen was a polarising political figure known for his extreme views on immigration, his trademark nationalism and his theatrical oratory skills.
He founded the Front National party in 1972. At first, the party garnered little attention and his own bid for presidency won less than 1% of the vote in 1974.
A decade later, a surge of support saw his party win 10% of the vote in the 1984 European elections, where Le Pen won an MEP seat which he would hold for more than 30 years.

Labelled by his critics as an extremist, Le Pen was convicted several times for his remarks, including denying the Holocaust and proposing to forcibly isolate people with AIDS.
In 1990, he was famously convicted for a remark he made on radio three years earlier in which he referred to Nazi gas chambers as a “detail in World War II history.” He doubled down on his comments in 2016, leading to another conviction.
Le Pen said of himself as being: “ni droite, ni gauche, français”, or “not right, not left, French”.
It’s a good message.
He will be missed.
Editor’s Note: This is more evidence that smoking doesn’t kill you. Le Pen lived to be 96, which I would hope is longer than anyone wants to live. If you are planning to live that long, you gotta stay fit.
