Becoming Brigitte

Candace Owens is not the author of this book. However, in cooperation with the author, French journalist Xavier Poussard, she is credited with bravely presenting this important investigative work to the world. Two editions of the book have been produced, one in French and one in English. Candace has stated that all proceeds from both editions go to Xavier Poussard.Candace produced a 7-part video series based on this book, in full cooperation with Poussard. You can find the series on her YouTube channel as well as on her website. She entitled her series the same as Poussard’s book : “Becoming Brigette”. Although it was produced live in her home studio during her regularly scheduled daily live podcast, she and her staff did an exemplary job producing it and it has the feel of a well produced documentary.The book and the documentary were both released in February of 2025. Candace Owens was instrumental in getting the book published (it says “Candace Owens Presents” on the cover) but I don’t know the details of how it was published. There is no title page and it only says it was “made in the USA, Troutdale, Oregon”.The depth of bravery involved in presenting this work to the world (including of course to people in France, who have been kept in the dark!) is hinted at if you ask yourself, “But why can’t the author publish his own book in France, his country?” Indeed, a good question. It turns out he currently cannot even safely live in his own country, let alone get the book published there. I understand he resides in Italy now with his wife and children.Candace has told her viewers that any act of courage on her part pales in comparison to what has been required of the investigators and journalists in France who dared to take on this explosive story.In order to really understand the level of courage achieved by Xavier Poussard, as well as Natacha Rey (another key investigator that Poussard references extensively in the book) one MUST dive into the investigation itself. It’s the only way to comprehend how massive this is in terms of scope, complexity, and implications. As usual in any investigation, the details are key and “do your homework or you will be lost” applies here. Luckily, it’s a very intriguing story!So… the homework assignment is “read the book and watch the documentary both”! I cannot imagine enjoying this book as much as I did without watching the video series, and I cannot imagine watching the video series without having the book to help keep track of all the details. The story is so complex that it takes this two-pronged approach.Poussard’s book is extremely well researched and very detailed and includes long and informative footnotes. I agree with those that say that the book needs quite a bit of editing — it was clearly a rushed publishing job. Many sentences are not clearly punctuated and the flow is choppy. There are typos. These issues may be due to translation issues. I believe it was translated by AI. I loathe typos in published books, but in this case the somewhat sketchy manner of presentation only added to the excitement of reading an ongoing investigation that reveals important information, the kind that is normally kept well hidden. Given that this is also exceedingly timely information it has the feel of being appropriately urgently produced.Xavier Poussard exhibits enormous amounts of rigor and tenacity. He worked on this investigation for eight years. As a reader, one does not feel he has an agenda. Indeed he is very conservative in his approach and seems highly professional.Tragically, free speech rights are being strongly squelched in France. Candace is choosing to speak openly from the United States. She presents Xavier’s research clearly in her video series. Not an easy feat! However, in practical terms she cannot present all the information in the book. Thus, the book is a must-read if one wants to fully dive into the story.This is not escapist “true crime” literature about an old and dusty case. This is cutting edge, real-time, must-read, political dynamite.Thank you to Xavier Poussard and Natacha Rey, as well as many others who have investigated the Macrons over many years and have suffered personally for that act of courage. You are showing us the way. ❤️*****UPDATE, added a few days later: I have now read the entire book and have watched up to episode six. This episode is special because for the first time ever (in any media in any country, I believe) Xavier Poussard shows his face and voice on camera. Candace flew to France to interview Poussard.When this episode went live it “broke the internet” — and Candace’s new website, also! The website experienced intense DDOS attacks just as she told her live viewing audience to switch over from Youtube to her website in order to watch the full interview of Poussard (at no cost, btw … she published the full interview on her website in order to protect it.) Viewers could not get the video to play properly for quite some time due to the attacks. This was not the first time her website had been attacked (see note below).I don’t at all recommend skipping the previous five episodes and jumping ahead to this interview with Poussard — you will spoil your journey, as well as get confused, I guarantee it. Much better to start at the beginning.I cannot emphasize enough that developing an opinion on the issues surrounding the Macron’s without watching the series and reading the book is FOOLISH. I see many people, even in the media 🙄, admitting they haven’t watched the documentary or read the book and yet they offer strong opinions. 😠 Would you offer your opinion on a book without reading it, or a movie without watching it? PLEASE look at the evidence before letting yourself spew an auto-opinion. Poussard and many others are risking their lives, the least we can do is read the book.My recommended “best way” to approach this as a newbie would be to first order Poussard’s book and, while waiting for it to arrive, watch ALL of Candace's videos on this topic — even going back BEFORE the official series, if you want to be thorough. There are several shows where she discusses the Macron’s as a lead up to the release of her series. (Tip: check both the “live” tab and the “videos” tab on her channel.).If you choose to watch these shows you will be able to watch Candace react to the Macron's sending two key letters to her! These letters have become a big part of the ongoing saga.Here is the low-down on the “legal letters” sent to Candace:The Macrons of course had heard about Candace’s upcoming series as well as Xavier Poussard’s unpublished book. They reacted preemptively by having their lawyers contact Candace via snail mail. They sent a 100-page letter (including references) to her home in Tennessee.A sitting president of a country sending a legal letter to a podcaster/journalist in the U.S., with a note attached indicating "do not make this letter public”, is a remarkably unusual act Candace told her viewers. It was essentially a cease-and-desist letter.Candace said that things may have turned out differently if the Macron’s had not sent this letter. She had originally intended to produce just one episode. Instead of being cowed by their legal move, as was clearly intended, she was incensed and even more focused. 😏 She was now determined to produce a full series. Candace also decided to read key portions of their letter to her viewers in one of her live shows. 😁 Attempting to squelch her free speech rights from all the way across the pond only made her furious enough to dig her heels 👠 in deeper.The fact that they wrote directly to her benefitted Candace as it allowed for a direct line of communication to the Macron's. In her letter responding to theirs, she requested that they answer 21 very basic and pertinent "yes or no" questions (to see the questions in full watch the first video of the series). The context of her asking these questions was that she was OFFERING to go to France to interview them BEFORE she aired her series.The questions are ones that any innocent person could readily answer in order to exonerate themselves from potential malicious slander and avoid a public relations disaster. She gave the Macron’s a good window of time to respond to her letter and arrange an interview before publishing her series. They neglected to respond at all. Crickets! 🦗🦗🦗Thus, they obviously did not answer any of the included questions nor was an interview scheduled.They did eventually write a second letter to Candace (via email between their respective lawyers) just before she was to publish her first episode of the video series. This second letter was not a late response to the letter with the 21 questions — it didn’t answer any questions at all. It was designed to dissuade Candace from proceeding to publish her series. She referred to this as a “preservation letter” which I believe means “we are telling you to be quiet or else”. In response to this second letter, Candace again opted to read the contents of the letter live on her show, just as she did with the first letter. 🤷‍♀️Obviously, Candace did go ahead and publish her documentary series live on her show. Her audience was glued! Her international audience grew substantially, especially in France.Just before the series began, Candace’s new website experienced intense and sustained DDOS attacks which lasted several days. She told her viewers that the attacks were originating primarily from France, and she showed screen-shot evidence of this.Around the 20th of February, after the series had aired in full, Candace reported that the Macrons had claimed publicly that they had never seen the 21 questions written by Candace! By stating this denial they admitted to their current awareness of the questions (obviously they watched the series!) but as of this writing they have not answered any of them. More crickets.🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗The potential implications of this ongoing investigation are astounding and profound and quite obviously very broad and international in scope. The word “seismic” comes to mind. If the harm done was not so EPICALLY serious it would be very entertaining, an enthralling mystery to ponder. Many have commented that the series is better than anything on Netflix. But while highly entertaining and intriguing this is very serious indeed. It is quite shocking.That apparently is what we all need right now -- a good "shock and awe" to wake ourselves up from the thousands-of-years-long dream of ignorance which has entranced us into a stupor. I am impressed that so many millions of people are ready and willing to absorb and process this kind of disturbing information. I cannot specify the information here or I will get another warning from Amazon. But all of this points to leaders being groomed for decades before being “elected”, including creating entire false identities.I believe the very same strategies and trickery described in this book have been used for thousands of years. Master illusionists.But we hold the power to see through these illusions. Humanity CAN AND WILL disabuse itself of engrained, destructive patterns that are based in fear, always use violence, and involve profound deception. The whole mess is propped up only by our own ignorance, which can be rectified. But it’s not just our ignorance of the deception of “evil doers” that is the problem. Catching bad guys isn’t the solution (they are never really caught anyway). If you still think bad guys “out there” are the main problem, as if the problems originate outside of us, then you are still pointing outwards and not inwards. But that itself IS THE ILLUSION, that the outside is the problem! The problems and the solutions reside within the human psyche, meaning within each of us. That’s where the problems and the solutions both reside. That’s why each individual’s awakening is so powerful. These are “inside us” problems. That is where the change occurs: within the projector (our mind) not within the projections (the physical world). This opinion of mine is not a denial of the massive “power” that “evil doers” have, it is instead pointing out a strategy error.All the drama is extreme nowadays because we need to SEE it and experience it to heal it. Only experience teaches. Yes, it looks a real mess, and the pain and trauma is very real… but so is the healing.The apparent outside world is a projection of mind. We are changing our minds. The world, as a projection, MUST in turn change — change the mind, change the projection, change the world. That is the power we hold, that is the plan that will work. And that is what we are doing.Getting off my soapbox now…*****UPDATE: Candace published the series finale (episode 7 titled: “Epilouge”). She presents some of her own speculation instead of only sticking to “just the facts ma'am" as she did in the previous episodes.There are firm conclusions to be made about the Macrons and these are presented in the book as well as the video series. However, much is left unresolved. This is the very reason why so many continue to push for truth regarding these matters.UPDATE, March 2025: Candace said in a recent show that she is thinking about extending her “Becoming Brigitte” series. Just thought I would pass that on!UPDATE: Today, March 17th, 2025, Candace clarified that all of the proceeds from the sale of both editions (French and English) go to Xavier Poussard. She also said the French edition has been ranked number 1 in France for several weeks. She also showed a clip of her series being covered in a broadcast on a major Russian news channel.UPDATE March 30, 2025: I just wanted to write here a quote which Poussard placed at the beginning of Part 1 (titled: “Brigette” In Power). Here is the quote, which I like quite a bit: “The old world is dying, the new world is slow to appear, and in this chiaroscuro monsters emerge.” — Antonio Gramsci, Prison Notebooks, 1948. Also: Candace has recently said that although her lawyers will not allow her to give details to the public, there is much going on legally behind the scenes regarding her and the Macron’s. Hopefully she will be able to update us soon. She is due to give birth to her 4th child soon, so I think we will be waiting a while!UPDATE MAY 29, 2025: Episode #189 on Candace’s YouTube channel is a must watch — Brigette manhandles Emmanuel as the airplane door opens and it was the slap heard round the world! Candace dedicates this episode to covering this incident. She doesn’t give a full update on the situation between her and the Macron’s, though. Candace has been hinting to her audience for the last few weeks that much is happening behind the scenes, and also that France itself is in chaos. In this episode she drops hints. (More letters sent to her from the Macron’s? Lawsuits? Is the future of France in the hands of Candace Owens, lol? 🤷‍♀️😳). Reading between the lines, in my opinion something big has been going on for weeks now and we don’t know what… but Candace knows what! She said in this episode that if she were to reveal what she knows Emmanuel Macron would be have no real choice but to resign. 🫨. However, she said she can’t speak about details right now for… “reasons”. She has said again it is looking like she will be doing a second series on the Macron’s. I suspect that she has had communications with Trump about this, but that’s just my personal opinion and my intuition speaking, she has not said so. In any case, Candace is clearly in an interesting position on the chess board. France is a big player on the world stage and the unelected man calling himself Brigette has wielded power behind the scenes for a long time.JUNE 30, 2025: BIG UPDATE!!! Well, my intuitions (and logic) were spot on and it turns out Candace has indeed been contacted by Trump. Today, she revealed that on February 24th (four days after the final episode of the “Becoming Brigette” aired) she got a call from a friend who said an “advisor” to Trump wanted to speak with her. This advisor said that the president is requesting she stop reporting on the Macron’s due to his negotiations concerning the Ukraine/Russia war. She ended up talking with the advisor a couple times and finally hung up on him after he implied it was an order. Trump himself called her back. 😳🫨😬. Candace says that Trump recounted to her that Emmanuel Macron whispered in his ear while he was ending his recent visit with him at the White House, and asked Trump to tell Candace to, um, basically shut up, or else he wouldn’t cooperate with Trump’s war negotiations and sign any NATO agreement. 🙄🤨😳 One note: I remember clearly that during that Macron visit the Amazon page for Poussard’s book was taken down! The entire listing was gone. I remember checking Amazon for about 2-3 days and resigned myself to the reality of the censorship. Alas, the listing magically came back after a few days. 😇 🤷‍♀️JULY 3, 2025: Yesterday Candace revealed that another “strongly worded” letter had been sent to her from Emmanuel Macron. It is available in full on her website.JULY 6, 2025: !!! Candace, at the tail end of a segment covering Jeffery Epstein, explained that Xavier Poussard contacted her about two months ago and asked if she would be interested in working on a new series — this time regarding Jeffery Epstein! Of course, Poussard’s research on Macron led him to Epstein, no surprise there. A few weeks ago Candace had mentioned that Poussard was working on another book, but she did not say what it was about. Now we know. Candace today basically announced to her audience, “Yes, I am willing to do this” (see episode 211 for details). She said Poussard warned her that this was bigger than the CIA/Mossad, and that what he is uncovering has been going on for a very long time.July 12, 2025 : Candace reported that a defamation case in France against Natacha Ray and another journalist/investigator was won by the defendants. Candace says the case was based on a small error on the part of the journalists and was essentially a “gotcha” case that was aimed at stifling further investigations. It is exceedingly difficult to investigate them as they refuse all requests for inquiry, thus it is very easy to make an error. Despite this, the defendants won.UPDATE JULY 15, 2025: Xavier Poussard was summoned by the Italian police. Poussard currently resides in Italy. The Macrons are apparently suing Poussard based on cyber bullying laws and not defamation laws.UPDATE JULY 23 & 24, 2025: Candace discovers through the mainstream media that she is being sued for defamation by the Macrons! They did not inform her or her lawyers but went instead to the media. Candace found out through the Financial Times. Candace says “they are trying to delegitimize the reporting [of Poussard and herself and others] by smearing my character”. The next day (25th) one of Macron’s lawyers went on CNN with Jake Tapper and in response to Tapper asking him what evidence the Macrons have offered to show Brigette is a woman, he simply did not answer. Their PR strategy seems to have crashed and burned already as the story is now viral all across the world! Yet still many refuse to watch the documentary and read the book. 😡 Please don’t do that, read the book and watch the videos! 😎❤️🙏

Those who have the misfortune of being terminally online and/or frequenting anonymous imageboards started coming across memes about Brigitte Macron, the 'wife' of French President Emmanuel Macron, a few years ago. They were funny memes but that's all it was for me - make a dumb joke, laugh at a dumb joke, and move on.Fast forward and the French journalist Xavier Poussard has written quite the investigative series on whether or not Brigitte Macron was born a man, and thanks to the collaboration with American podcaster Candace Owens, you can read the same details. It's riveting stuff.Pros: you will get a wealth of information, a dizzying cast of characters, and (eventually) a presentation of evidence (chief of which is a picture of Jean Michel Trogneux, age 18) that very convincingly lays out the case Brigitte Macron was born Jean Michel Trogneux, and some time in the 80s took on the identity of his sister and lived as her thereafter. Lots of disturbing implications about pubescent male grooming, whereabouts of real Brigitte Trogneux, and gay incest in the first degree of the direct line ensue.Cons: there's a lot of typographical errors. A LOT of them. It seems as if the English text was translated using AI. Sometimes words are obviously wrong and there's an abundance of small punctuation or spelling mistakes. More annoying is the investigative journalist format. Because it's so difficult and time consuming to get accurate data, it seems like journalists can't resist including everything possible, making the thread sometimes pretty hard to follow and making the reader wish Poussard would just get to the point already. Chaos, by Tom O'Neill, has exactly the same problem, just even more so.These aren't huge problems, though. If you're already suspecting the news lies to you, that headlines are largely fake, then Becoming Brigitte is right up your alley. Read it. Draw your own conclusions. Vomit at the stories of the French aristocracy if you must (it's truly sickening sometimes). When you're done, you won't look at Mr. and Mr. Macron the same way again, and the very mention of the Rothschilds will make you suspicious. Congratulations, you're now on your way to your very own tinfoil hat.Good hunting

There's a bigger story here and that is what most intrigues me. My thoughts:Like others, I thought at first the Brigitte-trans idea was just a conspiracy theory. But Poussard is a true journalist in the best sense. He did a tremendous amount of legwork and his reporting is balanced. He also faced resistance and roadblocks - generally a sign someone is trying to hide something. I came away believing his theory.I also came away feeling somewhat sad for Brigitte. We live in the 21st century. France is one of the most liberal countries in the Western world. Why hide behind a facade? I can understand that would have been necessary decades ago. But not now.The bigger story, to me, is about how political power is gained and wielded, how leaders are groomed, how hidden money funds so much, how mainstream media is either clueless or part of the problem, and how we really don't know who is actually ruling - not just France - but many other countries. I find that disturbing.Also disturbing is the more hidden (to the general world) undercurrent of child abuse and grooming that goes on amid high levels of power. The Emmanuel-Brigitte saga is far from the worst, from what I read in this book. And that was questionable enough. I know others have commented that the age gap between them at the start of their relationship would have sent the older person to jail in the United States.Finally, as others also have noted, this book is translated from French and can come across somewhat choppy. It helps to watch the YouTube series first because you'll better understand the timeline and all the players. Ability to read French also will help with looking at reprinted documents and some photo text.
