On Monday, a prominent Macron opponent was found dead for the third time in eight weeks. All three deaths are considered mysterious and, above all, strange. Three critics, three bodies – but not a word in the German-speaking media. The silence is deafening. What is going on in France? And above all: Why is Europe looking the other way?
Olivier Marleix, an influential member of parliament for the conservative Republicans, was found hanged in his house in Anet on July 7, 2025. The official version: suicide. But anyone who watches his last appearance in parliament sees a wide-awake, combative politician. Five days before his death, he spoke about immigration, called for more rights for citizens—and spoke with a clarity that is completely unbecoming of someone who was allegedly on the verge of suicide. See the following video:
What made Marleix dangerous: He increasingly openly criticized the corruption surrounding Macron, spoke of fake accounts, and investigated Macron's dubious role in the sale of Alstom to General Electric. His theory: The Alstom deal may have been part of Macron's covert campaign financing in 2017. Spicy? Rather explosive.
Shortly before, plastic surgeon François Favre, who had hinted at revealing explosive information about Macron's wife—or rather, "spouse"?—reportedly threw himself from the 12th floor. Officially, this was also ruled a suicide. Independent investigations? None.
And just a month earlier, Eric Denécé, a former intelligence officer and director of the renowned French Centre for Research on the State, died. A man of his own profession, a Macron critic, and a connoisseur of the political abyss. He also allegedly committed suicide—hanged in his apartment. However, his family and colleagues vociferously doubt this version.
Three deaths in two months. Three critics of the president. Three alleged suicides. And zero journalistic curiosity in the German-speaking world. This is no coincidence. This is a scandal.
Incidentally, this is also common practice in countries other than Russia or North Korea. In the US, there were up to 50 suicides in the Clinton family circle, and the ever-popular Obamas also have enough skeletons in their closets...
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called.
