History tells us the French ‘do revolution’ quite well, the current status of the protests against President Macron’s unilateral pension reform cuts are no exception.
Worker strikes have hampered France for over a week in protest to: (1) the pension reform; and (2) the undemocratic way it was enacted via unilateral fiat by the French President, Emmanuel Macron.
Today the worker strike turned to massive protests in the streets throughout several regions.
As the day wound down, those protests then turned violent as the ultra-left-wing “Black Bloc” anarchists began attacking police.
(Reuters) – PARIS, March 23 – Police fired tear gas and fought with violent black-clad anarchists in Paris and across France on Thursday as hundreds of thousands of protesters marched against President Emmanuel Macron’s plan to raise the pension age.
The ninth day of nationwide protests, mostly peaceful, disrupted train and air travel. Teachers were among many professions to walk off the job, days after the government pushed through legislation to raise the retirement age by two years to 64.
Demonstrations in central Paris were generally peaceful, but groups of “Black Bloc” anarchists smashed shop windows, demolished street furniture and ransacked a McDonald’s restaurant. Clashes ensued as riot police drove back the anarchists with tear gas and stun grenades.
Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said 149 police officers were injured and 172 people were arrested across the country. Dozens of protesters were also injured, including a woman who lost a thumb in the Normandy town of Rouen.
[…] Police had also fired tear gas at some protesters in several other cities, including Nantes, and Lorient in the west, Lille in the north, and used water cannon against others in Rennes in the northwest. Labour unions fear protests could turn more violent if the government does not heed mounting popular anger over pension curbs.
Unions called for regional action over the weekend and new nationwide strikes and protests on March 28, the day Britain’s King Charles is due to travel to Bordeaux from Paris by train.
The main entrance of the Bordeaux town hall was set ablaze on Thursday, days before the monarch was due to walk through on his visit to the southwestern city.
On Wednesday, Macron broke weeks of silence on the new policy, insisting the law would come into force by year end. He compared protests to the Jan. 6, 2021, storming of the U.S. Capitol.
[…] The French Interior Ministry said 1.089 million protested across the country, including 119,000 in the capital which was a record since protests started in January. The CGT union said 3.5 million people marched in the country, equalling a previous high on March 7.
“I came here because I oppose this reform and I really oppose the fact that democracy no longer means anything,” Sophie Mendy, an administrative medical worker, told Reuters at the Paris rally. “We’re not being represented, and so we’re fed up.” (read more)
World War III may break out against Russia in/around Moldova. However, another more widespread war may break out even sooner that has nothing to do with nation states.
“Off with their heads”
– May occur
Anyone who compares Jan. 6 with an uprising is full of chit.
100%
Those black clad trouble makers are not from the average French Citizen Protest Movement.
The average French is for peaceful protest so far.
They have not called for any violence.
Yet.
they wear the same colors here
I caught that too; Macron even characterized the Jan. 6 political prisoners as having ‘STORMED’ the Capitol.
French pipsqueak!!
Child of Darkness.
School boy created by Klaus Schwab.
And his mother I mean wife
Sacre’ bleu.
It is getting close to the time for Madame Lafarge to retrieve her knitting needles and rocking chair out of storage.
Vive la France!
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
I find myself thinking, “Go France!”
…and the elites always think they are immune to what is going on with the people, and then the people come for them…
Ann Coulter described in Demonic with precision the progression of the French Revolution and that there is no rhyme or reason to the mob. One day you’re the head of the revolution, the next, your head of the revolution.
This is common to any progressive movement; it will eventually consume itself as one faction claims power for itself or claims victimhood for itself (which is the modern form of power).
There was a news story a few years back about black families in a southern State who were suddenly outraged that school resources were being directed more towards border jumping ma gg ots from Mexico, ie, it wasn’t enough now to be black, there was a new victim in town.
Which is why infiltrators attempt to turn peaceful protests into mobs or the appearance of mobs.
Our founders were very insistent that the American revolution not be a mob nor appear as a mob.
my understanding from Coulter’s book is that it wasn’t infiltrators creating daily chaos, it was ‘leaders’ who wanted to be at the top and found the easiest way was to just kill anyone who might get in the way.
Talking about the fact that mobs are destructive and that the American Revolution was not done by a mob.
Thus in events like Jan6 and events in modern France infiltrators want a protest to turn into a violent destructive mob.
The French Revolution was a bloody mess period dot and ended in a dictatorship because it failed so miserably,
and then your dead. See Maximilien Robespierre
Those who know history understand that major events are sparked by actions that seem to be minuscule in the moment. Macron thought his little action would go uncontested. Unknown to him, Macron lit the wick on a pack of firecrackers. Or so he thought. Unfortunately they are not normal firecrackers, it’s a ream of M-80’s.
Alvin Bragg is learning the same thing.
I believe also that Macron thought he had more powerful backing than he does.
He, and and so many others do not realize what they have lit on fire.
My take is that Macron got the signal that now is the time to prime the citizens for revolt.
He’s not a man I would ever believe is capable of acting without his strings firmly attached to his handlers.
I agree. Only an idiot would have failed to predict the reaction. He and his handlers knew exactly what he was provoking.
There is something more abrewing.
Maybe, but more than likely he thought the people weak- again, as I mentioned above, don’t forget the recent past 2020 -2022….Covid sheep. He thought he culled the herd.
This is a way for the lawless elite to speed things up to crack down and impose the New World Order.
Spark a revolt? No one thought they would revolt. Did you not pay attention from 2020 through 2022? The sheep marched in lock stop with covid oppression. Macron thought he had castrated the bull.
No, Macron is arrogant and thought he has more “power” than what her truly does. The French need to drag him from the mansion he hides in and make an example of him in front of the world, just like the cartels do when someone crosses them. Macron crossed his people.
Led by who? Marine?
FRENCH ARMY……..AND THAN …MARINE
As in Marine Le Pen?
Just ad it to the end of this
“History tells us the French ‘do revolution’ quite well, the current status of the protests against President Macron’s unilateral pension reform cuts are no exception, Go France
Yes, the French have a history of protesting anything and everything. I say have at it and do a good job – take that little twerp down.
Where is that picture of the Zippo lighter? Manhattan, Phoenix, Atlanta, Palestine, Paris….?
Arise.
BEAUTIFUL ZIPPO !!!!!LIGHT MY FIRE ….
Alléz France!
Allez les français!
Sortez les barricades!
Vive la 5ème République française!
Some interesting France-facts:
There have been 5 iterations of the French Republic, each with its version of the Constitution, since the conclusion of WWII.
The highly recognizable perimeter of the French Republic – is known affectionately as “l’Hexagone” because of the hexagonal physical shape of the geo-political body that calls itself France. The current perimeter was not finally determined until WWII ended.
The NE Alsace-Lorraine region was long disputed between France and Germany. The population of this region was strongly divided in loyalty during time periods when France and Germany were at war against each other.
Hitler conscripted many French Alsatian men to fight on the German side during WWII. Some were willing; some were not.
There was a.WWII concentration camp that operated inside France, in this region. A number of you are likely aware of this, but it was new news to me when one of my French language students unearthed this piece of French and German history to present to the class in a report on Alsace-Lorraine.
The city of Strasbourg is the Alsace-Lorraine regional capitol, and home to the European Parliament. Since the demonstrations are so widespread nationally, I’m wondering how the Parliamentarians are sweating it out.
Another former student of mine – an overachiever says the eldering, retired teacher fondly – is currently teaching English in a French school in southern France, near Nice. I’ll try to get some first hand information from him this weekend, and pass it along.
Must be getting warm in the hallowed halls of the Party of Davos.
ERROR ALERT:
It’s late and my noggin is malfunctioning.
Correction: 5 Republics since the end of the the huge imbroglio. that started in 1789.
COWBOY has it correct in a comment below, which I found after I’d hit send and forgotten about the edit function.
Mea culpa. Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.
Sundance, I’ll be blunt: The character of the revolutionaries is always more important than the specifics of the revolution, although it’s fair to say that the former tends to direct the latter. In viewing France, from whence my paternal forebears escaped a different set of purges following the Edict of Fontainebleau(1685.) The irony is that having landed in Quebec, the church nevertheless forcibly converted the new arrival. This in mind, while half my lineage is French, I remain mindful of the many ills of French popular movements. They tend toward violence and a philosophical intolerance that rivals any we’ve seen in any of the nation-state crematoriums of the 20th century, and indeed, contributed thereto.
On the other hand, Macron deserves all the scorn being heaped upon him, but this retirement age issue is the least of his evils. Indeed, one might argue that it’s among the very few things he’s done that may actually be in the interests of the republic from a long-range view. His methodology is that of a pig, of course, and that’s what damns him. There will be a day in the not so distant future, should we survive as a nation through our current crisis, that we will land upon another crisis in finance born of similar roots. I have some sympathy for a leader who is willing to tell his people that which they hate to hear. Forcing it down their throats at gunpoint is another matter.
France has in some instances done more to bear the defense of Europe than most of its European partners in NATO. That said, they’ve all spent a relative pittance compared to the vast treasury of money spent on Europe’s liberation and defense by the people of the United States over the last 110 years. In that we carried their loads, it permitted them to erect a vast social welfare state that is absurdly generous. Now that we’ve built our own, they’re facing difficult choices. Europe has been firmly latched-on to the American teat for too long. PDJT took the first important steps to remedying this, but naturally, Biden has undone most of them.
Just as French governance needs structural changes, so does the so-called “international order,” along with our own government. Revolution may be a thing the French do well, but referencing only your icon above, I recall that Americans do it substantially better, if somewhat less frequently.
More like a criminal BLM scumbag Floyd riot.
Macron wants this to be violent similar to Nancy Pelosi and her cabal with Jan 6th – instigate, instigate then claim an insuurection 0 total set-up. Macron borrowed the playbook.
The big difference here is that this is a legitimate revolt (at least from the outside) and not a clear psy-op with many ‘how do you do, fellow feds?’ in the crowd.
But these people, like Macron, Sunik, Castreau, and Brandon, don’t care about their country or citizens at all. In fact, they don’t see them as such in any way.
They have nothing to loose, so he can call it what ever he likes, you fail to realize this is not the US.
They also don’t have President Donald J Trump….
There comes a time where no amount of government violence will stop the will of the people.
Another frame job, IMHO.
If you don’t understand very clearly yet that this really IS a war against humanity itself, being waged against our God created species by a satanic cabal of genuinely and truly evil people….
Do not fear Truth!
Globalism vs Liberty
We are being made to bow down before Gaia. Our penance is energy poverty. We must worship the FALSE science of global Warmism. But the real god, behind the curtain is Communism. We are passively allowing the transformation of our Constitutional Republic by the forced worship of Satanic idols.
Summer of love is upcoming
SPRING…. OF LOVE IS HERE …..AND EVERYWHERE…….
How in the world did he survive the no confidence vote. Little weasel..
LOL! Indeed!
By the hair on his chinny chin chin….
Hey! Don’t insult weasels!
They need to get rid of his ass!!
One will not find any reportage of this on any MSM outlet, broadcast or print. Nowhere…except here.
Latest reports I’ve seen on Twitter indicate that some riot police and firefighters have chosen their side.
It is not Macron’s, who at this point is probably hiding somewhere in the presidential palace, standing on a stepstool peeping over the window ledge to see what is happening, and downing an extra large brandy.
Bastille Day Mach II?
We’ll see.
Waste of brandy.
😂
i WAS in my Freshman Year at Freed Hardeman College when this was Recorded.

This was a ” little ” Harder Rock than i Was Playing at the Radio Station WFHC-FM ( Now WFHU-FM ) then the 5 Watt TOWER OF POWER and in the Student Union.
“For they marched up to Bastille Day
La guillotine – claimed her bloody prize

Power isn’t all that money buys”
We plan to visit gay pairee in 20 days….wheee!
Please be careful, CactusMatt. Godspeed.
…and cake.
Ooooo, forgot about the cake.
Sometime during the last two days a headline leaped into my line of vision…
Wish I had saved the piece where I read that Macron is looking for a way to resign – and of course to save face.
The piece opined that he is most unhappy without a majority upon which he can count, that this is not the way he rolls, and that under the current domestic political circumstances, he wants out.
Take it with an enormous grain of salt.
Apologies that I am unable to cite the source.
I saw it as well, warrprin…but not in a source one would expect to.
WILL THEY DO IT ????.. seen to me it will not end up as yellow jackets protests…far worse
France may “do revolutions” very well, but they do not do “governance” very well. After their first revolution, They have had 5 Republics since 1792. Some lasting only 4 years. The latest one dates from 1958. Perhaps it is time to flush the political toilet in France, and other places as well. The People will decide that.
Elites are only Elite until they aren’t. Rulers only Rule until they Don’t. Every time a Leadership forgets who they Lead, and why, things go sideways. Some things never change.
Hmmm….That gives me an idea.
Maybe every 15 years execute all the politicians who aren’t staying between the lines and the remaining ones will have an “incentive” to remember who their working for.
you misspelled 5
Yep, the Government Parties in all of these countries, including ours, are so insanely detached from reality that they no longer even remotely resemble the people over whom they claim the authority to rule.
The further the so-called “elites” get from the people they’re supposed to govern, the more angry the people get.
Making this worse is that the Government Party has gone bat-sh7t crazy. They think men can be women. They lie about the insane costs of living. They lie about using taxpayer money to bail out their friends in the banks. They lie about terrorist attacks on pipelines. They lie about the Ukrainian government. They actually expect us to believe their b.s. about COVID and that the POTATUS – a dementia patient who didn’t campaign – “won” in 2020.
They’re just NUTS.
I dont think they are actually crazy.
This is all Alinsky subterfuge.
Its all according the the plan, Obozo ushered along.
Cowboy, I didn’t see your remarks here, and also commented about the 5 Republics. Apologies, I wasn’t trying to steal anyone’s thunder.
I also made an error, in my zeal, and confused important facts.
5 Republics since end of the Big Revolution 1792.
If you look for my post it will give you a good laugh. I said 5 Repubs since WWII. Well, WWII sounds like 1792.
DUH
The GENUINE elites are servants, not rulers. Look at Christ. Good King Louie, and our own DJT.
and the streets ran red with blood
Vin, the streets run with vin.
….and thus the Tree of Liberty was fed and nourished.
No just in Paris. https://rmx.news/france/french-mayor-in-support-of-new-asylum-center-in-seaside-town-has-his-house-burned-down/
What a concept!!
Maybe he’ll think twice before engaging his mouth again. Maybe not.
What an idiot! I hate to say it, but I’m on the firebomber’s side!
Macron est un espece du con.
“Ah ca ira, ca ira, ca ira (…)”. famous revolutionary song…
Doris Day: The Man Who Knew Too Much.
It is my understanding that they are raising the minimum retirement age to 64. It would be similar to US raising the early retirement age from 62 to 64. This would not go over well here either.
This is correct but missing an important point.
Macron raised the pension age using a pandemic-era loophole. The French National Assembly did not pass a law. This major change to the French way of life was made with no input from the people of France.
Raising the retirement age was already extremely unpopular, which is why Macron bypassed the legislature. Raising the retirement age by fiat is the equivalent of searching for a gas leak with a blow torch while smoking a cigar.
Agree!
Macron went full dictator with that move.
Yep, the little dictator.
‘I love the smell of little dictator on the lamp post in the morning…’
🙂
LOL!
I’m so glad that our resident doesn’t bypas the people representatives to pass garbage laws without our consent. Oh wait how man executive orders did the odious little toad pass after he was installed? Like a million? And the garbage attorney general bill Barr helped get them too obidens signing table.
There ya go…
Don’t insult toads!
Oh, dear….decades ago one of my elderly uncles was concerned about the gas level in his trusty lawn mower. Checked it out with a lit match…..
Just like we don’t have any input to a war w/Russia.
they raised my retirement age to 67 and we never burned the place down . Yet !
If only our “insurrection “ had looked this good
America had a popcorn fart type insurrection
I do realize that a majority of the supporting cast in this war against humanity are unaware of the satanic roots of their efforts.
The majority are fully convinced that what they participate in is genuinely good.
Those at the ‘top management’ level however have no excuse. They are indeed genuinely evil people. They exhibit classic psychopathic behaviors. The fact that wef worm and rothschild freak macron is referencing J6 provides further evidence that there is coordination behind the demonic moves being made by these enemies of the human race.
He assumed for himself authoritarian powers. I truly do not know what else he expected.
Napoleonic in stature, Stalinist by nature.
Well said!
Some of Zelensky must have rubbed off on him.
And both appear to have what we called the Napoleon Complex.
Or as I’ve always called it, gypsy, Little Man Syndrome.
They are both textbook cases.
They both need stilettos.
Who is shorter?
Zelensky
On your first point, I fully agree.
On your second point I do not agree.
The heart of man is desperately wicked and deceitful above all things. Jeremiah 17:9.
Demonstrations in central Paris were generally peaceful, but groups of “Black Bloc” anarchists smashed shop windows, demolished street furniture and ransacked a McDonald’s restaurant.
I thought I get upset when my French fries are cold. But black bloc takes it to another level.
Interesting. It seems that WEF-aligned governments are beginning to push hard for higher retirement ages one way or another. Obviously, these governments squandered retirement funds and cannot pay promised benefits. I’m not holding my breath hoping that bureaucrats are prosecuted like US trade union executives who cleaned out pension funds, treating themselves to lavish lifestyles at the expense of the rank and file. Perhaps another type of justice will be delivered at a time and place, and in a manner of the EU rank and file’s choosing. It is something that European working stiffs are particularly good at.
Yes, and I hope they dish it out soon.
Kind of wish we would!
Exactly. He/they cannot afford not to raise the age.
Looks like the little commie Macron is waving his pen and a cell phone.
Tyranny in it’s purest form. Time to storm the Bastille again.
Viva le France!🇫🇷
People protesting cuts to government pensions are anarchists? And who will supply the pension checks after anarchy comes?
Thanks, Reuters.
“Liberty, Fraternity (Brotherhood), Equality” was the slogan of the 1787 French Revolution, and remains a national slogan.
I have no problem with “Liberty,” but the other two words are slopping over with peril, especially “Equality.”
“Fraternity” can mean identifying with fellow citizens, but too quickly devolves into “we’re all in this together” to form a mass mindset of conformity, which robs people of their individual rights.
“Equality” before the law is quite fine, but the radicals want complete equality, sexual, physical, and economic, which all lead to the lunacy we see today.
The French can keep their slogan to themselves and suffer the consequences!
I thought this essay on the French Revolution was excellent, and very enlightening in the way it touches on the uses of propoganda during the French Revolution to stir hatred. Although the author seems to be something of a royalist in his sympathies, he nevertheless does a fine job of dissecting the Jacobins.
I see certain people on the internet retweeting violence in France with excitement, while completely missing the Antifa black umbrellas in the videos.
It seems likely that Antifa there serve the same masters as Antifa here.
So let’s not get too excited. Could be another Sri Lanka moment. Usher Macron out to let off steam, end up with even more centralized control.
Isn’t there a French Rothschild still very much alive and ensconced in France? Shadow play. Revolutionary France was the beginning. The forces that slaughtered all the clergy and expropriated the churches (never undone by the way) never vacated that territory.
Beware of buying in too readily.
But sometimes… often times… once the match is lit there is no way to stop and control the resulting fire. Robespierre et al figured this out too late. But in the meantime, the Royals were gone.
The Globalists and Money Changers CABAL better be very caref… heck, no… non, non, mes amis..
Let the CABAL go at it. Bring on the guillotines and the pitchforks.
Absolute that the French always tend towards socialism as in equality of outcome instead of equal opportunity.
Ausonius, the French have ALWAYS screwed up their revolutions. They are so unlike the Americans. Now, we just need to enact OUR inheritance. Individualism.
Amen!
Individualism is supposed to be our hallmark: whether the younger generations recently inculcated with the idiotic “We’re all in this together” agitprop will adopt it for their lives…remains to be seen!
Bring out the guillotine.
I wouldn’t mind if WE adopted the methodology.
aka “The National Razor”
I wonder whether the French in Bordeaux will cotton to Charles le Troisieme, Roi d’Angleterre, coming to survey the territory of Aquitaine, where once upon a time the English throne claimed Dominion.
I think, probably not.
Was England for 300 years.
Bad timing, for sure.
They at least partially burned the town hall there Thursday, so HRH will be having to re-arrange at least that portion of the scheduled festivities.
Who would have thought the French were “spicy”?
A lot of people, knowing not one French citizen, have made rude comments about their character.
My Mother and Grandfather and the rest of the family lived in Paris under the Nazi occupation.
My Mother and Grandfather worked in what the rest of the world called the French Resistance.
They and most of the French citizens living under the occupation were not cowards nor were the French soldiers who were forced to surrender to the Nazi military much against their will.
The French soldiers were sickened by what they were forced to do by their coward of a commanding officer and many volunteered in the resistance.
The Resistance workers rescued and moved out many British and American pilots and other airmen who had to bail out of their planes, they also gathered a lot of intelligence and passed it on to the Allies.
Do not believe everything you read or hear in the press.
This is certainly most trite, but to this day Montanans and North Dakotans take glee in ridiculing each other.
THAT is TRUE!
I thought it was between North and South Dakota.
While visiting France a few+ years ago (2016 and 2018 i think), the biggest thing take home about the French people was how “insistent” on speaking their native language and maintaining their customs they were – both day to day and celebratory.
At a first was slightly off putting as i am terrible at learning new languages – i was very thank full to my daughter who could successfully order me my food & coffee’s 🙂 ; but with more and more exposure to the “invasion” which the people of the country have had to indure and with more hindsight, my respect for the French has grown immensely..
Go France.
I once had a Frenchman ask me what Americans think about the French. The first thing that sprang to mind, I’m afraid, was along the line of surrender monkeys.
I decided not to share that with him.
Respect to your family for fighting the good fight.
True, Les Maquis were ruthless and effective.
They shielded one of my uncles, a communist, that had to leave Spain in ’36. He was sheltered North of the Pyrenees until ’43 when Les Boches moved in. Luckily by then Franco wasn’t shooting on sight, so my uncle just spent a few months doing Penance in Aragon.
Béchamel with Jalapeños? I think not! Yuk!
Folks not following the law here either….
Got spicy in congress to —- ATF kinda caught off guard….
Question for ATF —- Republican Rep. Tiffany: “So why is Hunter Biden not in Prison?” ***All Hell Breaks Loose***
By comparing this to January 6, Macron is showing his connection with the globalists of the Deep State.
Going viral: Macron wore a customized Bell & Ross watch that it is alleged cost 80,000 euros, while conducting a TV interview, presumably on the subject of making the sans culottes work two years longer for their bread (not cake).

Much discussion of whether it was merely a 2500 euro version. As if that helps the argument.
The let them eat cake moment?
Ask his mother…I mean his wife.
In normal circumstances, at least here in Canada in the past, killing a police officer was an automatic life sentence in prison, no parole, because the police were a metaphor for society, ie, you kill a police officer, you are killing civil society.
In modern times, killing a police office should be seen for what it is: killing government force.
Wow. You have certainly provided some comfort to the next thug who kills a police officer…most likely a thug who doesn’t work for a living or pay taxes, but hey – you’ve given him an out. Nice work there.
blah blah blah… can you even read to the point of understanding what I was saying?
F*** the pigs who arrested Pastor Artur in Calgary, the pigs who erected a fence around an Alberta church, the pigs who barged in on a New Year’s house party, the pigs on horseback who walked over the lady on the mobility scooter and the pigs who make their living protecting with guns a PM who is determined to ban every gun in existence. Mayerthorpe is too good for them.
You probably agree with the absence of self defense laws in Canada, like where if a homeowner tries to thwart a robber the homeowner gets charged. Let me further guess that you like being protected by agents of the State, the same State that you are going to rely upon to pay for any doctor bills.
take a hike.
We welcome the creation of The Republic of Western Canada!!!!!!!!
🙂
Your second paragraph needs restating so that no one interprets it to mean something you did not intend.
You have a point that it could be misconstrued. I didn’t mean to suggest anyone go on a vigilante spree.
In the early 70s here in Saskatoon, a couple of thugs jumped an RC who pulled them over for a traffic north of town, threw him into the trunk and drove around for a while while deciding where to kill him.
What do we see police doing now…..? Arresting pastors, building fence around churches, using their horse to walk over a lady on a mobility scooter.
The point remains: the police have been turned against the citizenry. I regret any inflammatory implication.
A: How? The CIA. Same as downtown.
Dominion Voting Machines.
How?
The same way an American President that draws tens of thousands to his events, “loses” against a candidate that can barely attract a 100 supporters to a rally…
Via fraudulent elections.
Me thinks you added a ‘zero’ mistakenly….
🙂
Well….I don’t recall such large fires on January 6.
Guess he was feeling left out, though….
When the French skip lunch to take to the streets it means serious business.
If things aren’t resolved by late July timeframe, then the REAL test begins…
My cynic self is telling me this is a test and a filter.
France, like the US, see its citizens are enemies and are in the process of killing patriotisms via mass migration.
Would a recent migrant rebel against a government that give them free housing, medical, education and monthly income for doing nothing ?
No, this is why those governments tax working citizen ever more to pay for foreigners with no allegiance to the country they live in.
Quality of life go down instead of improving for families that gave everything (lives & treasures) to make the country, yet see all benefit taken away from them.
Work more, pay more taxes, yet its all redirected against you. YOU are the enemy in this system.
But we have to be realistic, this thing in France was solely done to identify ‘problem makers’ and all the protest will have only one outcome, ‘your removal’ from society to be replace by a docile foreign migrant.
What does the Elite love more… a foreigner that doesn’t speak English or a strong American farmers fighting for their families ? its evident.
Only bright side… The US army “lost” against the Vietcong’s … and today a US army made out of LGBTQ+ will be DECIMATED by our militia. And they know that. This is why they cant go all in right now but are still cataloging citizens for ‘removal’
My ancestors died for their family’s & country & freedom, and I will honor their legacy.
And no, that doesn’t mean I will take a plane to Ukraine and die to kill Russians for zelinsky corrupts government…
Well, if that be true: ‘But we have to be realistic, this thing in France was solely done to identify ‘problem makers’ and all the protest will have only one outcome, ‘your removal’ from society to be replace by a docile foreign migrant.’, then it looks like they have over 1 million ‘Problem makers’.
“They also believed that their immediate responsibility would be to protect against what they called the counter revolution and they felt that this counter revolution could best be guarded against by creating and establishing reeducation centers in the Southwest where [they] would take all the people who needed to be reeducated into the new way of thinking and teach them how things were going to be. I asked, well, what is going to happen to those people that we can’t reeducate that are diehard capitalists and the reply was that they’d have to be eliminated. And when I pursued this further they estimated that they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers. And when I say eliminate I mean kill – 25 million people. I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people most of which have graduate degrees from Columbia and other well known educational centers and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people and they were dead serious.“

Yes..I actually remember this article. It is the intent of the Left’s ‘philosophy’ to simply kill. They do not value Life; they pursue death. This is evident in the killing of millions of unborn; the number of ‘assassinations’ over the years; their encouragement of euthanasia (which is rapidly growing with groups such as ‘death with dignity’ which is even pushed by some ‘ministers’); the mutilation of little boys and little girls ‘reproductive organs’; the sterilization through toxic (often prescribed) drugs, etc., etc. I have no doubt that they would spray something in the air to simply eliminate a large multitude of protestors. They have certainly proved themselves to be capable of such atrocities.
Jesus said: John 14:1 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
These ‘folks’ are evident by their ‘fruits’. They hate God, therefore, hate any and all that stand for the things of God (see John 15:18-25). They pursue death because they hate the ‘Life’. Their consciences are ‘seared with a hot iron’ (see 1 Tim. 4:1-5). They are ‘condemned already (see John 3:18-21). They have a reprobate/debased mind (see Romans 1:27-29). We do live among the ‘walking dead’.
Thankfully, Phil. 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.
The immigrants in France are far from docile.
The Charli Hebdo slaughter, the mass terrorism at the soccer stadium and in the concert theater just a few years ago, not to mention the Paris suburb no go zones, all attest to the racial and ethnic divisions in France.
Divide and conquer. Divide and conquer.

France’s foreign migrants are anything but docile.
And with military-age Chynese men coming over our southern border, I’m getting more than a bit nervous.
“I came here because I oppose this reform and I really oppose the fact that democracy no longer means anything,” Sophie Mendy, an administrative medical worker, told Reuters at the Paris rally. “We’re not being represented, and so we’re fed up.”
Reuters accidentally reported what is actually the reason for this.
It is why the Jan 6 protests have been transmogrified into a phony “insurrection”.
The people have woken up to the fact that they no longer live in a representative democracy. The elections are FAKE. The politicians do whatever the hell they want. And now we’re on the brink of a world war, massive inflation is running wild, gas/energy prices are bonkers, and we have a dementia patient installed as “President”.
People have figured this b.s. out and they’re getting more and more pissed about it.
This is the kind of stuff the Government Party in the US should expect if they’re actually stupid enough to try and arrest Pres. Trump. Because people already know that they don’t simply think Trump is the enemy. They think WE are the enemy. They’re at war with us and are getting worried that Team Red might just decide to get on the playing field.
Immigration has been a disaster forced on us by unelected bureaucrats. As as the Green New Deal. As has a phony election in the US. And in France they’re being told that their “reward” for putting up with all this garbage…is cuts in social programs that they were not even given a chance to vote up or down.
Burning random buildings isn’t going to get the job done, though. If the Government Party isn’t put at risk, they won’t change course.
Very true.
The more you know the more you understand as unbelievable as it is.
And maybe there will be a spark. I feel it now.
I read that a police car was set on fire and when the fire department came they didn’t put it out. Instead they marched with the protestors saying it wasn’t their problem. Seems a metaphor for these illegitimate governments’ larger problem.
“We’re not being represented, and so we’re fed up.”
Gavin…errr…Tru doh…err…macro n of the micron nano joebama…
Here’s a quarter…call someone who cares…
Nawww….just give them a dime, they can panhandle the rest. If they are lucky!
The French were the first to industrialized Executions during their Revolution… Macaroni shouldn’t poke the sleeping giant that could at any time revoke their consent to be governed by him.
It is said that history repeats itself.
I don’t like how Macron did it, but sorry, gimme a break … the French need to get real. People in the U.S. wait a lot longer than 64 to collect a pension/SS.
Not true. SS can be collected at 62.
There is an incentive though to wait longer if you want, and get a higher amount per month. If you are in good health, and expect to live longer than the average person does, it pays to wait until you are 70. But if you die at below the average age, you start as soon as possible.
Of course, everything you say there is true.
And what I said is true.
Yes, Wiley, biggest scam of all time. Wait until you get older and collect more.
Show me the new food pyramid, and I will show you my SS check when I reach 80.
….French gotz Muslim youths burning down the house…
The unrest doesn’t have anything to do with retirement age..
Out of control immigration…might…have something to do with it…
Ask the NGO,s bringing in the…what did Khadaffi call them?
And did he not warn Hillary Clinton that only he stood before mass invasion of Europe…
Germany….Sweden…USA…
Name one common denominator….
But in countries like France, workers “pay into the system” at a much higher level than workers in the U.S… so if those workers have certain expectations, then they have certain expectations…
I agree, mr. piddles. Who is a government to regulate that which a people should preserve on their own.
I go one further. Do not send any money to the Gubmint!
That’s not the point.
The point is that Macron bypassed the legal process and did this by fiat under the emergency powers he granted himself under the Wuhan Flu period.
He is taking money away illegally.
Raising the age limit for entitlement programs is probably the best way to delay their collapse.
64 is still fairly young to hang up the work boots.
These are the good old days.
The reason the French gubmint is doing this is because the French Gubmint stole all the money the people paid into.
If you read the daily obituaries 64 is no longer young, 17,18,24, 25, 36, 42,55, is no longer young thanks to the vaxxine.
What “entitlements”?
The citizens paid into this – therefore it is NOT entitlements.
If WWIII results in the dissolution of the EU, and the “isolation of the U.S.”, of which I’ve heard talk recently… I’m not so sure the citizens wouldn’t fully embrace their newfound freedom from Global Tyranny… and I don’t mean Putin and Xi…
WWIII will bring freedom from electricty…automobiles…fresh running water…effective medicines…education…
Food….
Ready or not? Embrace this?
Try again, Piddles…
Not intending to be nasty about it but EMP is cheap and easy…
1880 in the blink of an eye….not a desirable scenario..
WWIII will be over before the first EMP get off the launchpad.
Who’s going to fight WWIII? NATO? U.S. Military? Taiwan? India? I bet India declares neutrality… too much to lose, and why stick your neck out for The West when you’re looking at devastation from your Eastern and Western borders? South Korea instantly declares surrender/truce. Japan will have no choice but to do something rational for their own sake.
Worst case is somebody decides that Nukes are necessary, then all bets are off anyway.
I bet WWIII is over in under a week, then you can start your reconstruction, in whatever form is necessary. At the end of the day, the post-WWIII world doesn’t look anything like what it is today.
After being mostly ‘locked-down’ for nearly 3 yrs., looks like ‘those that be’ did not anticipate the ‘boomerang effect’. Seems to be a pattern of thinking amongst the Left. They do not ‘think ahead’, rather, they are all about ‘instant gratification’. My dad often told me the tale of the ‘Tortoise and the Hare’. To this day, I own some turtles. They are much smarter than one might think.
“Plodding wins the race.”
“violent black-clad anarchists”
Interesting how Reuters is now throwing this sort of language around after refusing to do so in 2020…
“Macron Declares This is France’s January 6th Insurrection Moment”
A bunch of FBI gays are in France smashing things and encouraging the people to commit violence?
Oh boy… if I had the time I’d fire up a meme of The Quantico Barbecue Crew wearing berets and smoking those long cigarettes… but I gotta go scoop the litter boxes before Little Cat and Mickey Mouse The Cat get irate…
Asshoe!!!!!
Roiders is afraid to print antifa?
Socialism works until you run out of other peoples money…..then violence ensues.
Yes..Margaret Thatcher nailed it on that one.
The ANTIFA are just helping the government to install an even more oppressive agenda. After all, this is what the governments cater to.
Can they take another no confidence vote??
Macron didn’t listen when the yellow vests came out. Now there are 10 times as many people fed up with his dictatorship.
Need to worker harder to help support all the mooslems there.
There’s an interesting parallel here…
“Bannon: The Global Elite CHANGED The Banking Rulebook To Save Their Financial Scams”

At the end of the day, Joe and Mary Citizen get left holding the bag… and that’s if they don’t just get outright crushed into oblivion first.
SVB… Credit Suisse… current closed-door Treasury Machinations… Lord knows what else is afoot at the Central Banks… etc. If you don’t like the current outcome, just rewrite the rules as you go along. *shrug emoji*
So, it’s not surprising that somebody like Macron comes up with something so transparently undemocratic, and telling the citizens to go buy a pack of Twinkies if they don’t like it…
Global Elites be Global Eliting, I guess.
