BRI-SP: The research and the persons behind it

Part 3: there are quite a lot of people sleuthing, but these are the main ones

There are many people reporting on and digging into this issue, but the biggest sources are the following three:

• the Pressibus website
  

  • this is the big 3-years-of-research dossier, available as download, also in English, that I suppose Candace Owens speaks about in her first video, as she repeats certain claims that I don’t think Xavier Poussard ever made

  • the dossier is immense, and still being updated regularly with new information

  • the team, led by Alain Beyrand, has unearthed loads of documents and videos, brought together tons of mainstream media reporting – it is a kind of cave of Alladin where you have so much information you hardly can find your way out again

  • the lack of information as well as the contradictory statements and manipulated pictures, which is really absurd, has unfortunately led this team to speculate a lot, and not purely stick to the facts – this is understandable, as they try to create a coherent timeline of events that includes everything we know, but it makes for some seriously convoluted claims that are presented as logical conclusions, but need loads of more proof to be acceptable

  • they use the facial recognition software Betaface, but its results are indicative only, and not conclusive

  • this website falls into the trap of humanly judging resemblances, which is very deceptive: we all look different in different pictures; and the quality of the reproduction can play a big role – it is a very tricky business and can only be used when good quality pictures are available where actual, physical features can be compared and not just ‘looks’
    
    UPDATE: Pressibus was kind enough to look at this overview, and has found that I have misrepresented certain of their understandings. They have published two new pages with their position, but as far as I can see, they are only in French, so linking to them might not be useful here: the whole point is to give information in English.
    I will of course change the information given here when I get to know where exactly I’m going wrong.
    
    

• Natacha Rey
  

  • is a citizen who got interested in Brigitte Macron because she was presented as this wonderful and beautiful lady, while in fact, she lacks all grace and feminine behaviour – especially the way she walks is almost brutish, and this gave Natacha the feeling something was ‘off’

  • deducted early on that Brigitte was probably born a man, and started wondering who she was born as

  • is the first person to make the link between Brigitte Macron and Jean-Michel Trogneux, as she recognised the face in the family picture

  • had very quickly quite dramatic insights and hunches, which is great (and her recognition of Brigitte Macron as Jean-Michel Trogneux is almost certainly true), but which makes for a lack of rational methodology and makes her very vulnerable for legal attacks, as she is very emotional and outspoken

  • is therefore prone to prematurely jump to conclusions, make irrational claims and totally far-fetched deductions, and act on those, thereby seriously weakening her thesis

  • had originally no realistic understanding of the deep state, the hidden control the elite have over not only the political and administrative institutions, but also over the police, the media and the judiciary, in short, had no clue what she was up against, but expected the judges to simply drag Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron into the court room, let Natacha explain her finds, and then throw the Macrons in jail for deceiving the French public, and that everybody would live happily ever after

  • discussed the affair on the YT channel of psychic Amandine Roy in a lengthy video interview (deleted after only five days on request of the Elysée), which went viral and brought the affair to the general public’s attention

  • is (together with Amandine Roy, who hosted the video interview but has not been otherwise involved in the investigation) the only person attacked and convicted in court, as she is the easiest target due to her lack of rational methodology and rash conclusion-jumping, rather wild actions, and bold outspokenness

  • is physically deeply affected by what she was submitted to, unfortunately
    
    

• Xavier Poussard
  

  • was until recently the second editor of the private newsletter Faits & Documents, which publishes portraits, biographies and unknown facts about politicians (resulting from old-fashioned investigative journalism based on provable facts), and which is considered ‘extreme right’, mainly because of its conservative stance and outspokenness – and because it exposes inconvenient truths

  • noticed the weirdnesses in Emmanuel Macron’s biography (mainly the meteoric rise in spite of any proof of competence, and a rather large testimony of incompetence) and the enormous absence of information about his youth

  • remarked that to propagandise Macron for his first presidency, the press pushed him as ‘a couple’ and spoke more about Brigitte Macron’s family than his, which made it look as if she was participating in the presidential elections

  • was informed about Natacha Rey’s thesis, contacted her and worked with her for some time

  • is very structured, rational, and has experience with political figures and their histories: knows how political powers are intertwined with the judicial and police forces, and therefore is careful in his claims and actions

  • has obtained several documents and pictures that were not public so far

  • contacted Candace Owens to point her to the fact that her assumptions, based on the Pressibus dossier, were sometimes erroneous

  • purchased Megvii company’s Face++ software (used by the Chinese government and very highly rated) in order to compare picture of Brigitte Macron, Jean-Michel Trogneux and Brigitte Trogneux

  • found that the software claims very high probability that Brigitte Macron is in fact Jean-Michel Trogneux

  • wrote the best-selling book Devenir Brigitte about the affair

  • was interviewed twice by Candace Owens, with the second interview being the launch of Candace’s series Becoming Brigitte, the title of the English translation of his book

Three mainstream journalists are worth mentioning:

• Emmanuelle Anizon, author of L’affaire Madame

• Sylvie Bommel, author of Il venait d’avoir dix-sept ans

• Virginie Linhart, director of Brigitte Macron: un roman français

All three have voiced irritation and surprise regarding the wall of silence they encountered when it comes to Brigitte’s early life. Virginie Linhart was even interrogated by Brigitte’s chiefs of staff, as if she was committing a crime by contacting Brigitte’s family and former colleagues or classmates. Sylvie Bommel even wrote in her second book (specifically about the almost impossible absence of any trace of André Auzière): “It is like being in an episode of Black Mirror where the President's offices have found a way to penetrate the brains of his old acquaintances to erase everything.”

Emmanuelle Anizon set out to debunk the ‘fake news’ (she was contractually obliged to include these words in the subtitle of her book), but ended up having more questions than answers, and nothing of substance to debunk the theory with. She interviewed the Brigittologists, and shared a part of Xavier Poussard’s work of digging up pictures and interviewing witnesses. Her book details the second trial, which justifies in some way the subtitle, but in fact reveals a lot of disturbing facts: it’s more of a confirmation that stuff is seriously wrong in Brigitte’s world.
