Garbage is piling up on the streets, ports are blocked, fuel is running in short supply, transportation of essential goods and services have been brought to a standstill; these are the outcomes of a general labor strike that has been happening in France as a result of protests to Emmanuel Macron’s unilateral pension reforms.
It might seem like a small issue pushing the retirement age back two years for French citizens, but it’s not really about the pension reform – the bigger issue is about this “new democracy” in the aftermath of new powers assumed by the French president during COVID-19.
President Macron used a special constitutional article to push legislation through Parliament last week without a vote. He now faces two efforts to engage a no confidence vote with only tepid support from his totalitarian allies in government. The people of France are not only unhappy with the pension reform outcome, but they are also furious about the nondemocratic process – a familiar and growing sentiment that extends far beyond the borders of France.
While the protests did carry the customary French socialist-leaning violence, the issues underpinning the anger are felt by more than just the radicals. The larger network of ordinary French workers has now begun using the power of the people to shut down the economics of society.
Trash is piling up in the streets as sanitation workers refuse to work {LINK}. Ports and critical energy infrastructure like refineries are also shut down, and things are starting to get sketchy amid the social and economic fabric that generally goes unnoticed. Indeed, you might say, ‘the peasants are revolting‘.
(Reuters) – Several French refinery sites were still blocked from delivering products after two weeks of strikes in France, causing production to be disrupted while the government requisitions workers at the Fos refinery, and power supply was also disrupted.
The industrial action is part of a nationwide movement against pension system changes that lift the retirement age two years to 64. The changes were forced through parliament without a vote last week.
The Normandy refinery operated by oil major TotalEnergies’ will be shut down on Tuesday due to the strike, a company spokesperson said, as the industrial action against the pension changes stretched into its 14th day.
Production disruptions at the other sites operated by TotalEnergies remained unchanged, the spokesperson added. About 36% of operational staff at TotalEnergies’ refineries and depots were on strike on Tuesday morning, the spokesperson said. (read more)
All of these tremors point to a larger issue in the background of “western government” policy. Something is going to eventually erupt. Government cannot keep a lid on the chaos they create forever. Sooner or later a spark will ignite something… and it will not just be in France.
Do not focus too heavily on the weeds of any particular issue or nation lest we lose sight of the much larger dynamic. One thing is most certainly assured; Chairman Xi and President Putin can see that larger dynamic clearly, and there’s abundant opportunity within the geopolitical unrest.
Western governments are being led by blinded ideologues working furiously in the background….
Other countries are standing up to the WEF.
We better do the same. Tell them “NO” I don’t like what your selling!
We are fixing to lose this Country and I don’t think enough people understand that yet.
Trump goes so does America, as we know it.
The uni party will win 2024 and we will enter another phase that will completely bring us from a Constitutional Republic to a one Government rule.
Trump was stopping that so America,
IT’s TRUMP or BUST!
Amen.
I’d like to see a nationwide strike that includes millions filing with their employers to eliminate their tax withholdings and a nationwide non payment of taxes.
I’ve looked into that before. It seems there are criminal penalties attached to blatant under-withholding. It also seems they’ve backed companies/organizations to only permit this at hire, or at a change in one’s family(thus the exemptions you can claim.) I’m not opposed to it in any event, but know what you’re signing-up for.
Truth is, I think a protracted general strike might do it, but first, you’d have to organize it a little.
THEY have made it abundantly clear, that “cutting their allowance” won’t in any way, impact their spending of other people’s $.
Making significant lifestyle changes, so that you HAVE no or minimal “tax liability” is another option, me and mine are there, but most are not ready to “give up” so much illusory “convenience” and “status”.
“so that you HAVE no or minimal “tax liability””
Been there done that. I haven’t had a mortgage since ’04 and so have essentially been debt free since then. I finally got a decent paying job 10 years ago that allows me to work 6 months a years, shovel everything into my kitchen cupboard because I don’t want anything in my bank account) then get laid off because our company is seasonal, so I go on Skid (unemployment) for the other six months which comes close to negating my income tax liability.
It is not 100% Go Galt, but close enough for me.
You pay taxes on your house.
True….but those monies pretty much tend to remain in your community, not enriching the Fed scum.
True about the preparation Mark America.
My family in France said they tried the best they could to prepare for this.
This is not just an off the cuff strike, a temper tantum of sorts.
Many have tried the best they can to store food and other supplies for the last few months but it is not easy.
Those that have supplies are willing to share with those who have less, especially young families and very little extra money or assets.
They are in this for the long run.
Like Sundance says this is about the way it was done not so much about the what that was done and the French citizens are MAD.
A lot of citizens in the western Euro nations are mad and we might see a lot more of this kind of protest.
The French know it is going to get worse before it gets better and they are willing to take the chance.
They really have no other choice.
Time to roll out the French National Anthem, which is a blood-curdling call for Freedom.
It is pretty violent indeed… about blood and war and death….
Yet, the modern French are following the example of the Poles.
We should follow the example of the entitled LA Teachers Union that just went on strike. All the wealth producing workers in the USA should go on strike.
We need a vacation.
Zut Alors!
BTW, they used to play La Marseillaise quite a bit on the Rousillon AM Stations.. when I was a kid. We could tune to that all the way in Barcelona… and it was an regional anti-regime, we’re all Catalans sign of brotherhood. We loved it.
It is one of the best national anthems in there, the music that is. The lyrics are sort of scary.
Just what we need!
Que Vive La France, Que Vive Les Etats Units…. Visca el Barça!
That raises the difference between the US and France. France has multiple parties. Even a minority party can organize protests. We have two parties currently operating as a Uniparty. We have no political insiders to help channel our anger into effective action.
You live in a communist country where everything is controlled by one level of government or another. We are no longer free.
You don’t have to cheat on your taxes. Every working man and woman call in sick and tell their employers they think they have Covid and are going to isolate for 3 days. Every truck driver, every refinery worker, every worker period. Every non worker or retired person stay home. Don’t go to Wal-Mart, don’t go to the gas station, don’t go anywhere for 3 days. We all think we have Covid and are going to stay isolated for 3 days so we don’t spread the China virus just in case. We will all think we have Covid on April 1.
Great idea! “They” are wanting to replace us (Lindsey Graham said with more productive people), so since we are non-essential, then maybe they can get all those illegals rounded up to do our jobs.
I am a data analyst. Maybe they can pick up my work quickly.
Sounds good to me. “They” created the precedence for this excuse. May as well use it against them.
Gonzalo Lira has called for April 5 to be “White Man Walkout Day.”
the WEF is conquering the other nations first. America Last.
we feel it, but they are feeling it much more.
I’m told the same by Americans who have relatives in the EU. Those countries are a few steps ahead and already reeling from the damage.
US citizens are largely in denial of what looms ahead.
most of my relatives think it can’t happen here…they are so soundly asleep they might as well be brain dead
Other countries are standing up to the WEF.
=====
is not WEF same as USA? = so Other countries are standing up to the USA.
From what I’ve observed, I think I’d be safe in saying most Americans presented with a map of Europe with the names of countries covered up, couldn’t place the names on those countries properly.
Further, I feel that most Americans believe the world starts on the east/west coast and ends on the west/east coast. And they believe what happens outside the United States in no way will have any effect on this country.
Such is the deplorable state of “teaching” (indoctrination) of world geography, world history, and current events.
Having said that, I think I would clean up on a bet that most Americans, either through ignorance, indifference, or through just trying to survive the day to day economic hellhole we’ve been sentenced to are, in the main, completely unaware that the existential threat to their lives is about to submarine us all.
I expect to see millions of shocked faces shortly.
And I thought I was a pessimist, dear.
And I agree.
The elite, or the Devil (same thing) may have closed off humanity’s last route to salvation by undermining Trump.
So many billionaires (Buffett, Gates, Ted Turner etc.) so obsessed with over-population.
Wake up and smell the coffee, you deplorable irredeemables.
This is what rich guys talk about in private.
Tony Blair told Mark Steyn that the rich and powerful discuss plummeting birthrates, but only in private.
Get it? They want us gone.
I can’t believe the dreadful, shameless self promoter Blair was foolish enough to spill private conversations between the various demons of the satanic WEF with Mark Steyn. But such is Blair’s regard for himself, I suppose I really shouldn’t be surprised.
Untouchable and infallible is how they see themselves.
And yes, raptors, they want us gone…the faster the better.
Very true Betsey Jones and most of us do not give a rats rear end what they want or what they think.
The high flying smart alecks of the WEF will learn the hard way who really makes the world go round when we decide to teach them ala French style.
They do very little to promote the health and welfare of the human race and without us, the billions who do the heavy lifting they will be the first to starve and sicken if we decide to go on strike.
They do not even know how to feed or dress themselves or keep themselves clean.
They are like a bunch of giant toddlers whose mommies have to watch over them all day to make sure they do not harm themselves.
Their whole life is an illusion of success and prosperity that will collapse if all their hired help does not show up for just two days.
They are really pathetic.
How can I add to that, Chloe?
Can’t…
Steyn has repeated this Blair anecdote, often.
Steyn, like Trump, will be hounded by the Left until the end of his days.
So I support them both for their astounding courage. Period.
Steyn, like Trump, is an eccentric character. So what?
When I’ve posted on Steynonline about his odd opinions, I get rude responses.
So I continue to financially support this brave man, while not entering the lion’s den of arguing with him.
Like Sundance, like Breitbart, such heroes are rare on the ground.
I have followed Mark Steyn since the 80s when he had a weekly column in the editorial pages of the once inimitable (but no longer) Daily and Sunday Telegraph in Britain, under the editorship of Lord Black.
The Left always have their boogeymen, their targets.
And those targets always seem to men who could wipe the floor with them in any situation.
Men like Steyn and President Trump show up the inadequacies of the Left which hates them. Small wonder then the Left want them gone.
My favorite Steyn quip was when he wrote in the National Post that tupac shot himself in the groin, ‘turning tupac into onepac’
Yes…he is THAT clever. 😂
The problem is most people don’t know this is a spiritual war, as they talk about Left and Right, Commies and Nazis. Yet the upper levels of the DS are Satanist, and they actually Satan worship and demons, and to get in with them at their elite levels you are required to do very Evil acts.
I have said often, Time, that satan has collected souls as easily as I would collect dewberries by the side of a railroad track in Central Texas on Mother’s Day.
Brings back memories of such around Schulenburg & Luling….and eating a Franks b4 the interstate…
Ah, the good old days in N. Texas. Roaming the woods all day, BB guns, flying kites and living the good life as a kid!
I think the king of France felt the same as our elite until the blade dropped .
Trump = 5
Musk = 10
I’m not worried, thanks.
I believe we have an overpopulation problem…
Too many globalists, too many money changers, too many professional politicians, too many lawyers, too many bureaucrats, too many people leeching off the top without providing any value added.
Too many billionaires and Hollywood hacks that want to tell us what to do and how to live.
Too many Deep Estate rats who are in it for themselves, making our lives miserable just to justify their insolent existence.
Too many liars.
What we need is a nice cleansing… bring on the guillotines.
All are a waste of good oxygen.
And we…want them gone!
Yes. I used to think it was merely normalcy bias. But now I’m convinced it is the purposeful ignoring of plain and simple facts:
The “new” reality we’ve allowed to fester- as AMERICANS- has become too painful for many of us to face.
But, face it we must.
May God forgive us and bless us.
Every night, Been, I pray the Almighty God, Abba Father, have mercy upon us. Do not turn Your face from us.
“From what I’ve observed, I think I’d be safe in saying most Americans presented with a map of Europe with the names of countries covered up, couldn’t place the names on those countries properly.”
I don’t even get all the US states right.
No prize for getting states or countries in their correct location.
A better question is do you know anyone that can hit a basketball from 300-500 yards?
With open sights?
7MM Maga !
I can hit consistently with my .223 at 100 yards into a 1.5″ group. On good days I have been able to put shots into a 1″ group.
With my .22, open sights, prone, I can knock one 750ml can full of water off the top of another 750ml can.
Target shooting is fun. 🙂
Were with safari friends on a mission trip in Guatemala. Farmer saw our hunting pics and asked if we could shoot the iguana eating his baby chicks. Out comes a moldy bolt action 22 w iron sights. The 3′ black lizzard was on a white tree truck about 100 yards – paladin friend braced and the critter jumped off the tree screaming dead. Their kid ran back with the prize – so ‘sorry; we couldn’t stay the night till they would cook it for us the next day…
😂!!
I’m getting ready to leave America and move to Wyoming.
(A joke for the baby boomers).
Ah, time for retirement, eh?
Not the former Eastern European (Warsaw Block) nations.
It’s been happening slowly, so large numbers won’t ever be shocked. More are waking up, but if they don’t see it now, I’m pessimistic that they ever will. A surprising number of people, spanning dropouts to doctors, are very susceptible to propaganda and are ok with being controlled. I also think that the never before seen demographics-baby boomers and millennials both at voting age and in positions of power-are a factor. The baby boomers in charge are looting and wrecking the place on their way out without regard to the harm being done to the generations behind them, and the millennials haven’t grown up and still want their parents to tell them what to do, so they eagerly go along with it. Covid lockdowns couldn’t have happened in the 1960s.
Well, said my Dear.
When they send the bus, don’t get on it.
Few people get this fact. The battle time is NOW.
The big ugly may hit when Trump is arrested.
Unfortunately, Conservatives are sleepwalking into disaster.
Trump and Kari Lake are sounding the alarm and calling for action and protests by MAGA voters.
Most are too afraid. Who do they expect will save the country? Unbelievable ignorance!
Only smart action. Only meaningful protests.
Not some haphazard BS cooked up by the FBI flunkies and Pelosi.
Let your frustrations, anger and emotions take over, and you crash this country and us.
THINK.
In a streetfight, or any battle for survival, there is no place for emotions; emotions get you and yours KILLED.
and fast.
do not announce it . They right now have their MAGA disguises in their BLM and ANTIFA bus coaches .
Nullification and secession are the solutions. California has been nullifying for decades but stupid republicans don’t realize they can do it too.
EPA regs, gone. US Army Corps of Engineers regs, gone. ATF, gone. State sponsored immigration control, yes.
The country was lost when Ted Kennedy rammed through INA 1965. That’s the truth.
The manifest weeds of our destruction were sown all the way back then.
When people are free and prosperous there is no need for revolution.
They are called “revolutions” for a REASON, because they are cyclical in nature.
Every so often, “things” go full CIRCLE, as elites rise to power and prestige, and use that power and prestige, to insulate themselves from the reality check that comes from experiencing the consequences of their actions.
It is open to question whether Marie Antoinette actually SAID “Let them eat cake”, however the guiotines came out because the elits of the time, by word and action, openly displayed such contempt for the masses.
We see exactly that same contempt being displayed, consistently by the elites today: Grinholm laughing at $7.00/ gal gas, Buttgig, Biden, Yelled, Harris, Truedope, Macron, etc.
And, we KNOW the inevitable “equal and opposite reaction” WILL occur.
“Globalism” and “Innovation” do nothing to change the fundamentals, they only insured the change will be far bigger, and messier, when it comes.
Gird your loins, fasten your seat belts.
Focus first on you and yours, and on BASICS; Food, clothing, shelter, energy, transportation, security, medical and on getting as “self-sufficient” in each area, as possible.
Do what you CAN, as for the rest; “let go and let God.”
the nation gets to strong it allows the weak to participate at any level. the weak sometimes are misaligned with reality so their ruling ends up destroying a country.
leaders are made through fights, and war, and harships anymore
its made all phenotypes and narratives. is the pedophile black? good have a minority on the board. is the rapist hispanic.. ditto. is the fraudster female… etc..
no one is looking at the individual anymore. its all illusions now.
When people have the ILLUSION of Freedom and Prosperity, they percieve no need for revolution.
WHY, having achieved that state of somnolence, is it now becoming gradually obvious to all, that they have neither Freedom, Prosperity (or Security, also an illusion!)?
Is it INTENTIONAL, and “planned” or is the massive CON simply becoming obvious, to the “marks”?
“Is it INTENTIONAL, and “planned” or is the massive CON simply becoming obvious, to the “marks”?”
Both are true.
That’s just it! Somewhere along the line we got less free and less prosperous and now many want Revolution.
The police are not your friends. Their allegiance lies with their paycheck.

Macron self-ied while Paris burned.
There are people who live next to this criminal. They recognize who that is. This will stop when the neighbors no longer allow the criminals to use the excuse of “following orders”.
i would say its a dirty little secret… but its like we all already know… how easy it would be to bring this whole thing to its knees. the slightest bit of suffering and our entire culture is shocked and fearful….
all it would take is ONE LEADER, one with enough name recognition to matter – calling for general strikes, shut downs, and disobedience, and there would be more people acting than the entire population of france.
why don’t any of those so-called leaders do so?
he is setting it up, for the right time. when the most people are ready.
it will be the next presidential election steal.
I don’t know when it will be but I know Trump is the master of timing.
only time everyone is invested in the FUTURE and the fight for their ideology being sealed in one moment.
the election.
It has worked before with every great leader. Ghandhi took down England in India and was done in Poland by Lech.
True, I forgot about Poland and Lech Walesa.
Every one thought Poland was a gonner until he came along.
the issue with the Gandhi approach for America is that if we are unwilling to even go out on a limb for some pepper spray in the face of a few hundred people, we certainly don’t have the stomach to place millions of bodies in the way to be beaten into a pulp.
Nope…
Hint…men with rifles😏
I believe it must come from us. Remember, President Trump said on inauguration day he was returning the power to the people. I believe we must do something and not wait like sheep
something to ponder: will the totalitarian and bureaucratic class ever desist from their evil without serious consequences that make future evil doers fear for their very lives? My own is opinion is ‘NO.’ If anyone disagrees I’d like to hear the reasoning.
right now they are VERY emboldened because we have given them ZERO reason to fear the people.
they will absolutely not stop until they are STOPPED.
PDJT’s ability to get midwesterners to travel to DC and protest when their LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS CLOSER – scared the living hell out of them.
that is why they did everything they did to frame j6, gain terrorism law powers, and then target domestic opposers to them.
a nationwide protest at your local legislators… forcing a resign in a RED RED RED states – we have FAKE RED STATES, not a real true Red State ready to push back on the FED.
make 1 Red State , just 1, thats it , thats all your need.
A good place to start would be Georgia, home to Brian “WEF” Kemp.
And don’t forget their Secy of State
Many of us who could not get to DC on J6 went to the capital building in our state – I did, and I wasn’t alone there
Stopped= stopped for good
I agree Mor Bord.
They will not stop until we stop them.
How we do that we should not discuss here out in the open on the internet.
NO. Any and all powers bestowed upon government officials will be abused to the furthest extent possible.
They will only care when they have “skin in the game”…THEIR skin, and those of their loved ones. To the point where there will be no turning back or restoration of their preferred environment
why does it take Trump’s arrest for us to finally consider harsh measures?
we wont do shit when he is arrested
that is not the catalyst.
Then what is? Political persecution and using the judicial system against a Republican President via manufactured charges is not enough catalyst?
You can bet that were a Democrats President to be arrested, the riots and cities burning would be well under way.
Good grief, they did that over drug addict George Floyd…..a nobody.
Nor should we. I am all for action but not in the name of Trump. I will vote for him a third time with barely a sliver of hope that it matters, however, President Trump did not help the Jan 6 prisoners when he could have. These people were his die hard supporters and needed him. They were loyal! Instead, he pardons a bunch of black drug dealers and jewish spies and white collar criminals. I want mass protest and action but we live in a conquered land. That action must be intelligent. The people in control hate you and would love nothing more than to throw you in jail or kill you.
Correct, when you no longer have access to your MONEY, that’ll do it………
Exactly! Have said the exact same thing!
Unfortunately good people will wake up only after they have lost everything and have nothing left to lose
which is why you should make them feel like the 2024election win = this, loss = that.
so that the loss described amounts to it being DONE AND FELT on election steal night.
then the people will peacefull protest until every government official is resigned and replaced.
Nope….this fu@king government murdered citizens via COVID jabs.
State legislatures stole our election and Congress created J6 to null investigating the steal.
Opened the borders to allow two million uneducated Mexicans walk right in.
America went from energy independence to buying commie oil in one year.
This government is at war with citizens.
It will continue until Congress and the executive is removed.
over 5 million now .
coulter’s estimate of illegals during the era of Adios America was that there were probably 50 to 60 million, not the usual “11 million.”
so now, including third world arrivals who only got in because of chain migration and the 1965 Immigration Act…… well north of 100 million peasants living in a developed nation, breaking laws, driving drunk, killing Americans, defacing national parks, getting their health care for free, dropping anchor babies five minutes after jumping the border, etc etc…
So much cultural enrichment.
The hispanics I know, who are women who came here as kids in the ’80’s and 90’s, are very very upset with what goes on with the borders here in Calif.
They have only contempt for our governor, who ensures that every new arrival understands that they will need NO ID to establish an account over at the county Social Services office.
“My parents would have been ashamed to go and apply for benefits. Of course, the benefit programs would have excluded any in our family who had no ID’s. But what I was taught was to work and pay your bills and no going after handouts.”
Usually at this point the woman will pause. “Now because of so much immigration, owning a house will never be possible. My kids are all about to be going off to college. But I have had to use the college fund to pay increased rent costs, utilities and foods. Meanwhile Newsom has pledged free college at the Univ of California schools for all new arrivals.”
Then they pause and say, “I bet you get mad about this too!”
It’s not just in the US that this sentiment is spreading, here in Canada most legal immigrants feel like they’ve been betrayed and ripped off.
They work hard, pay their taxes, sacrifice and save, they follow the law and try to set up good communities.
All to see these communities infiltrated by the lazy, the criminals and the moochers among the “refugees” and illegals coming across our borders.
I’ve heard from Haitian immigrants complain about the illegal Haitians showing up in their neighborhoods demanding to be taken in and given free stuff.
I’ve heard the same thing from Asian and Middle Eastern as well as Central/South American immigrants, all are seeing the same thing.
And here in Canada PM Justin Trudeau, like Newsom is willing to do that, including free housing, education and healthcare while calling the rest of us citizens, racists and undesirables.
The joke is on Trudeau though, the clock is running out and his worst critics aren’t European descended Canadians, it’s those very same legal immigrant minorities which are demanding that the illegals be stopped.
Why are people leaving Canada?
Find a stick
Well, they are claiming “asylum” from marxist.
You gotta hand it to the French citizenry. They’re still a force to be reckoned with in their own society.
According to the study below, Americans spend 7.11 hours a day glued to screens while for the French it’s 5.37 hours.
Many are pledging to take to the streets, but only after catching Trump’s perp walk on TV.
As I type this (on a screen) it occurs to me that America is Kayfabe Central where nothing has gone right for the peeps in real life for many a moon. Maybe it’s a zero-sum.

I’m watching this series on AMAZON PRIME, PENNYWORTHY. it’s about different groups of people fighting over who is going to rule England. It’s gotten to the point now where they are introducing the StormCloud, otherwise known as Germ warfare, as a way to get rid of all the people but keep the buildings standing. The evil ones who lost to the Queen of England don’t want to have to rebuild. Very eerily wondering what evil power stricken people are capable of doing.
get the leaders and people in a position to find information – RELENTLESS ON IDENTIFYING who pulls strings, who is above the Fed, above the Sea Island, above the bilderbergs, whatever.
then focus every thing and person on it until its decimated.
for Example, Sundance pointing out the Team handling Ron – destroyed Ron’s disguise and showed us some string pullers- seeing they were connected to Ukraine further connected dots and destroyed that narrative more..
The impetus for our protesting should come community leaders, veterans organizations, churches and the like. They are not able to do this because they will lose their tax exempt status. We must organize ourselves in some other manner. The Republican Party leadership is all in with eliminating Trump. Why ask yourselves? Same paymasters and puppet strings. Basement Biden got 81 million votes to overcome Trump in 2020. The Republican Party leadership is all in on the agenda. Watch the deal to increase the debt limit.
its simple- j6 the closest governement to WHEVER A PDJT RALLY WAS HELD, and do it with the same damn people that attended.
do that on the same day and overwhelm the system, and give courage to lonewolf protesters that might be driving an 18 wheelers, or working the trash truck, etc..
Disagree. The protesting should come from MAGA voters and the Republican Party. After all, it is a Republican President who is being politically and financially persecuted.
And those who stand idly by and are not enraged, deserve everything the Democrats and the evil Left do to them.
Because evil never rests. They are always planning their next scheme.
Members of a church can organize without the church organization giving approval.
We often meet our friends in our churches, just because they are “church friends” does not mean that we can not organize with the same friends independently outside of the church organization on our own some where else.
It does not have to be a “tight” organization either just a group of people meeting to share a cup of coffee and talk a bit.
Not need to even file for tax status.
The government has no need to know that a few friends (or a lot of friends) are getting together for a BBQ or a hayride or whatever.
God Bless America
The United States couldn’t stand up to a troop of girl scouts.
sure they could, if they werent told to stand down.
we are in a GateKeeper War.
They sacked your decision makers and replaced them. Head of DOJ head of FBI, etc..
Of Mice and Men, seems the men left and the Mice are left.
Still, Emmanuel Macron is better than Justin Trudeau to our northern neighbor.
Barely. But. Still better.
What ? Small Dog poo is not as bad as a huge stinking pile of bull excrement? Got it.
I prefer to think of Macron as a more polished turd.
Macron is only following in Trudeau’s footsteps, Trudeau pushed his vax mandates and even instituted martial law(Emergencies Act) all without any real push back.
The only time Trudeau was ever scared was when the trucker convoy arrived in Ottawa, that was genuine fear and terror on his face and in his actions(a la Monty Python and the Holy Grail: run away! run away!).
Now Trudeau is involved in his 8th scandal of this government and he’s daring us to stop him.
Maybe something similar could be arranged for the day President Trump is being asked to surrender for arraignment in NY next week.
I love that the protesters cut the power to Macron’s residence, letting him know he is vulnerable.
as long as the people of California consent to it.
Horsepucky………Cal has been and is the supreme headquarters of rigged elections. That train has already left the station.
I’m not sure everyone completely understands the amount of “LEVERAGE” the Banks have on their books. The western “elite” Central Banks and their feeble actors in government have STOLEN TRILLIONS from the working class over the past 30 or so years. The inbound CRASH will result in one of two options, DC and the financial elites will opt for WWIII to protect the 1% ruling classes, the other option is a complete return to our Constitutional Republic. Europe has woken up to the WEF nonsense, US is still fast asleep……..
We are already at 67 and it is unsustainable. The French are very touchy on their vacations and pensions. I expect Americans will be no different when Social Security is adjusted upward.
They already did it to me once and i fear think when things get worse they will take 401Ks and pensions and say they will pay it back when they get us on the right track .
THIS is how you fight tyrannical govt – at least initially. FIB/Antifa can’t infiltrate you downing your tools.
I can assure you from first hand experience that the French are actually a tough lot and the first to the barricades!
They have the best national anthem too. It’s raw and grounded and vicious.
France helped us during our War of Independence. We should now help them become independent of filthy globalists.
Didn’t we already come to their rescue in WWI and II?
This must happen in the USA indict Trump shut the country down TRUCKERs first…
The Canadian truckers should have told citizens to stock up on necessities over the course of a week or two because after that they were going to park their trucks and let the shelves dwindle to nothing. How might Trudeau have reacted to millions of phone calls and a few thousand people starving to death?
Would he have forced truckers back to work by such means as hiring tow trucks nationwide to tow parked rigs…..or by having provincial governments pull the licenses and registrations…… How do you force people to work in a free country? There would have been bank seizures of every truck and truck company, too.
The possibilities are endless as to what he might have attempted–he might have used good old collectivist slogans about how we have a moral obligation to each other and that Work Makes You Free.
He actually tried to do what you stated, towing and impounding/confiscating the trucks.
Revoking licences, heavy fines on all protesters.
He even froze donor bank accounts, not just the truckers by any donor above $20.
He tried intimidation and after the Emergencies Act was enacted he tried threats to all Canadians.
What happened after the bank freezes started? The citizens all started withdrawing their money, this caused a bank run which forces the 5 major Canadian banks to actually shut off their online banking in the middle of a business day for at least 5 hours.
People didn’t get paid, they couldn’t run their businesses because they couldn’t withdraw or deposit money.
72 hours after the EA was declared Trudeau was forced to rescind his declaration and lift all sanctions and freezes.
The truckers even got all their impounded trucks back, the Attorney General told Trudeau he didn’t have the legal right to steal the assets of the truckers.
Trudeau even tried to get the CDN military to crush the “violent” insurrection(gee where did he get that from?) but they told him to go pound sand and that this was a strictly civilan matter because the truckers weren’t rioting, they were playing street hockey and setting up BBQs and hot tubs plus bouncy castles for the kids.
Trudeau was incredibly fearful of the truckers and the support they had, he was the only G7 leader to actually run and hide for a week when the protest reached Ottawa.
Many in Canada took note of this and we know now that Trudeau isn’t nearly as powerful as he’s trying to project.
His latest scandal has further exposed just how little support he really had and his days are truly numbered.
I knew all of the stuff you mentioned, living in Canada as I do, I was just merely using those as examples of small measures Trudeau would take before eventually bringing in the big guns, whether literal or figurative.
I am glad to hear that the bank run (reported upon here in CT last winter) was in fact a real thing. I know I did my part to contribute and now all my cash sits in my cupboard.
“His latest scandal has further exposed just how little support he really had and his days are truly numbered.”
I wish that were true. I admit to almost total ignorance of anything going on in Canada because all the news does it piss me off….but the few things I am aware of indicate that Trudeau isn’t going anywhere, if for no other reason that Canadians had the chance a year and a half ago to get rid of him but they didn’t. As Bongino puts it, “things aren’t bad enough yet” when he refers to New York voters putting in Hochul and Bragg, etc.
What ever happened to that SLC Lavalin thing…. or firing that native woman who testified that she was pressured by the PMO to not pursue it…. or to Trudeau for invoking the Emergency Act without justification? Oh, right, he had a Liberal donor judge say ‘nothing to see here.’
And it is hilarious to watch the Air India supporting skid mark leader of the Dippers tweet about how terrible Trudeau is but yet he won’t pull the plug on the minority government.
Trudeau told a bunch of Ontario women that he has a basic admiration for the communist chinese government and all those brain dead f***s could do was reach into their slacks to finger themselves. One or the other is bad enough, an Ontarian or a woman, but you combine the two and you have the epitome of worthless scrap of human garbage and the reason why Canada is in the shape it is in.
This country is FUBAR
The new border will be at the Manitoba/Ontario line. Come out West and join us!
Let the East freeze and starve….after they worship at justin’s feet, of course.
All Trump supporters, 81 million of us, should simply stay home. Strike.
The French always do protesting the best and manage to look stylish while they do it!
Lock them in their houses? Fine. Dump immigrants from an alien culture on them to rape their women and destroy their society? Quelle problem? Try a dose of much needed fiscal conservatism before the country goes bankrupt? Aux Armes citoyennes! Imbeciles, alles imbeciles.
You have to work with the people you’ve got. We are older, fatter, spread out. It’s a big country. Going to DC is out for obvious reasons.
Gandhi? Maybe we’d be best at doing less. Strike? I have always loved Atlas Shrugged.
I never thought I would see the day when the French dropped the label “surrender monkeys” and the United States picked it up.
We also need to gradually raise our retirement age – the math currently doesn’t work.
IMO, we’ve yet to experience the full impact of the Covid operation on average life expectancy for the next few generations. We don’t know yet how the genetic stuff will pass down.
I’ll be dead so won’t have a dog in the fight but those who survive and live to retirement age and are currently paying FICA shouldn’t have the rug arbitrarily pulled out from under them. IDK, one year every five for the next 20? That would move the numbers up four years. Then reassess. ETA, apply a similar formula to Medicare, now mandatory at 65.
stop giving it to illegals and lazy people .
Wayne Allen Root published a piece in the Gateway Pundit yesterday suggesting this exact method of “protest” here, in order to thwart the goons in charge of the DOJ, FBI, etc.
His rationale is that we cannot be “rounded up” for breaking any supposed “law” or suspicion of inciting violence because we would be “doing nothing”
Brilliant
Xi and Pooty are probably funding some of the unrest. Maybe even Soros (seems counterintuitive, but maybe not). What about Iran pouring money in?
Don’t forget all the Afghanistan and Ukraine weapons that are now in the hands of some crazies.
Yes, weapons supplied by the CIA and paid for by US taxpayers!
MAGA needs to do the exact same strikes here in US
I waiting for the french to realize that shorty Macron is still standing a head too tall, then fix it their old fashioned way…
👏💯👏💯 America is about to face hyperinflation and dollars worth Pennys. We will be Venezuela by the end of the year. It is going to get nasty.
The West is committing suicide.
suicide by climate change hysteria
suicide by LGBTQqueers
suicide by trashing the U.S. constitution
The classic examples are Czechoslovakia in the 60s and Poland in the 80s.
The Czechs tried violence and the Soviets crushed them with tanks.
The Poles went on a general strike. The government came down crashing.
While we talk about a Civil War… what we need to plan is for a General Strike. Just wait ’till the people on the Gov. dole can’t get their cheese.
Our very popular used book store, in Tucson, scheduled a “drag queen” hour for kids. Word went out and a Pastor’s wife organized people to call and email politely saying “NO”. Bookstore received so many “NO’s” they backed down. l She offered to find policemen, firefighters, border patrol agents, doctors, nurses, carpenters, and any other skill/professional people that would like to read to kids at story time. Book store turned ’em down. We could do it at ALL PUBLIC LIBRARIES and fight ’em back. How about that?
time to start shutting things down here, too.
shut off the gov’t revenue streams. they’ll cave.
How about instead :
“Garbage is piling up on the streets, ports are blocked, fuel is running in short supply, transportation of essential goods and services have been brought to a standstill; these are the outcomes of a general labor strike that has been happening in THE USA as a result of protests to THE LEFT’S unilateral SOCIETAL reforms.”
When it comes down to it, it is the conservatives who are doing most of the real work in the country – the left mostly just spins, sponges, shills and sells – if there was an organized strike it would make a real impact in their lives, and could make real change. Protests can be spun and stolen as we’ve seen, but how many Antifa plants are going to be willing to roll up their sleeves and do some real work?
Now, all that’s needed is for a a leader to step up and plan it out.
