    Nantes cathedral fire: Arson suspected as 400-year-old organ destroyed in violent blaze

    More than 100 firefighters were deployed in the western French city of Nantes on Saturday morning to tackle a "violent blaze" at the cathedral.

    "For the moment, the fire has been contained," General Laurent Ferlay, the head of the local fire service, told reporters at around 10:00 CEST.

    An arson inquiry has been launched, the Nantes prosecutor said.

    Footage released on social media earlier by the French Federation of Firefighters showed flames leaping inside the gothic monument as a large cloud of black smoke escaped to rise towards the sky.

    Firefighters have called on people to stay away from the area.

    Emergency services were alerted shortly before 07:45 CEST and some 104 firefighters were deployed to tackle the fire, Ferlay said.

    The "violent blaze" erupted "by the organ located behind the rose window", Ferlay explained.

    "The roof has not been affected", he went on, adding: "the scenario is not comparable to Notre Dame".

    This will be a relief for most French people still reeling from the devastating blaze 15 months earlier at Notre Dame cathedral in central Paris.

    Contrary to the 850-year-old monument in the capital, which still had timber roof beams, the Cathedral of St. Peter and St Paul of Nantes had been renovated with concrete roof beams following a large fire in 1972 which had reduced the roof to ashes.

    The renovation was only completed in 2013.

    Firefighters are expected to remain on-site for the rest of the day and have begun to assess the damage.

    Per Ferlay, "damage is concentrated on the great organ which seems to be completely destroyed". The platform on which it stood is also "unstable", he added.

    The great organ has been in the cathedral since 1621. It originally had only 27 keys but subsequent restoration works increased the number to 74.

    It had survived the French Revolution, WWII bombings and the devastating 1972 fire.

    Authorities have launched an arson inquiry with Nantes prosecutor Pierre Sennes revealing that "three distinct fire points" had been found.

    He stressed however that "there is no conclusion to be drawn now because we still have a lot of investigating to do which can bring new elements."

    A fire expert from the technical and scientific police laboratory in Paris is to be dispatched to Nantes to help with the investigations.

    Nantes Mayor Johanna Rolland praised the fire service for their reactivity and professionalism.

    President Emmanuel Macron expressed his support to firefighters "who take great risk to save this gothic gem in the city of the Dukes".

    Prime Minister Jean Castex said on Twitter that his thoughts are "with our firefighters courageously mobilised to contain the fire".

    "To the people of Nantes, whose emotion I share, I want to express my solidarity", he also wrote.

    Construction of the cathedral, which began in 1434, took more than 450 years. The gothic monument was listed in 1862 before it was even finished.

    Paris: Riot Police Storm Bar Over No Social Distancing

    While actual riots were taking place across the rest of the city.

    Paul Joseph Watson
    Published 17 hours ago on 24 August, 2020


    Video Screenshot

    Footage out of Paris, France shows riot police storming a bar and beating people with truncheons because they were not properly ‘social distancing’.

    The incident occurred during the Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, which the bar-goers were watching on television.

    Around a dozen fully kitted out riot cops raided the bar and violently removed people from the premises.
    “According to Paris police officials, the crowd was dispersed because some people were not wearing face coverings or were failing to follow social distancing rules,” reports Sky News.

    More than 200 people receive a police caution for not wearing face masks.

    The incident is made even more bizarre by the fact that the people inside the bar were behaving peacefully, while actual riots were taking place across the rest of the city.

    According to RT, the streets of the French capital “descended into chaos, with multiple incidents of vandalism and looting.”

    You’d think maintaining basic law and order while protecting people and property from violent criminals would be a higher priority than ensuring people in a bar are standing far enough away from each other, but in the age of COVID hysteria apparently not.

    Yellow Vest protesters return to Paris https://www.rt.com/on-air/500530-yel...protest-paris/

    The ‘Yellow Vests’ are resuming their campaign against planned pension reforms and are marching through the streets of Paris. The protest is taking place after France noted an increase in the number of coronavirus infections across the country and the French government has limited the maximum number of participants to 5,000 for larger gatherings.

    Dear Jesus. They (the police) are dressed and look like Roman Gladiators and they are acting like psychotic madmen programmed to kill.

    We, less we fall into despair, are here as witnesses, among other reasons. We are important to the future.

    BREAKING: Major Investigative Report by Association of French Reserve Army Officers Finds COVID-19 “Pandemic” to Have a Hidden Agenda for Global Totalitarianism, Nanotech Chipping of All, 5G Irradiation, & Genocide

    by Ramola D
    Posted on September 4, 2020

    Ramola D | Report | September 4, 2020
    A document newly released in the interests of informing the public has been circulating online recently, offering deeper insight into what may really be going on behind the public facade of the COVID pandemic as its fabricators (WHO/Gates/CDC et al) issue an urgent call to unite to “fight the virus.”

    Image: Politico.eu

    The French Army Reserve officers who stand as author of this document ran a 50-day investigation of all matters COVID and concluded there is a larger sinister agenda behind the lies and misrepresentations of truth which have marked COVID coverage, and that agenda includes the rollout of global totalitarianism, the “chipping” of all humanity with nanotech-infused RNA vaccines with the dual function of transhumanizing or synthetically altering the human body and brain with nanobiosensors and nanomachines while essentially implanting GPS trackers or nanotech RFIDs, preparing humans for a lifetime of complete cellular and neuro monitoring, control, and modification, as well as hooking up brains to a central hive mind or brain internet: 1984 on steroids, beyond Orwell’s projections of sci-tech human takeover.

    The opening preface includes a note from the head of the investigative group stating that they have found
    “the identification of obvious corruption and an agenda contrary to public welfare, culminating in criminal and genocidal intent, and the implementation of a totalitarian state, which are reported in our conclusions.”
    The translator, Claire Edwards offers further information:
    “It was banned from publication, but the Officers wanted it to be in public hands and therefore redacted it to suppress their names, professions, ranks and affiliation, and passed it on to those who could publicize it.

    I have faithfully translated all 156 pages of it, and provided equivalent English references to the French references included. I have also added some relevant supplementary information and indicated clearly where I have done so.

    When you read this document, you will understand that it could have been written only by professional, well-informed and educated people. In my view, they include doctors, lawyers and army officers. They clearly had access to people who are aware of the “unavowable” purposes of the perpetrators of this scamdemic.”
    INVESTIGATIVE REPORT ON THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO SARS-COV-2 AND OTHER FACTORS

    ASSOCIATION DES OFFICIERS DE RÉSERVE
    (ASSOCIATION OF FRENCH RESERVE ARMY OFFICERS)
    13 May 2020

    ENGLISH TRANSLATION AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
    BY CLAIRE EDWARDS, BA HONS, MA
    27 August 2020

    Important aspects covered by this study include the rollout of 5G under guise of need for greater bandwidth while people have been confined to homes, the evidence of symptoms of lung damage from electromagnetic radiation, and the euthanizing of the elderly without informed consent.

    Covered as well is the nanotechnology to be carried in the vaccines for human modification, the corruption of the WHO, and the smoking gun of the ID2020 Alliance which points up the complicity of academe and private sector in the creation of subjugation technology for human beings.

    Excerpt, Investigative Report, French Army Reserve, May 2020

    A second document of great interest referenced in this one is a report produced by UNESCO covering nanotechnology and bioethics, discussing how far nanotechnology has come today and the great powers of transformation (or deformation) over the human body it has.


    Links for both documents are provided below.

    Findings of the Investigative Report On The Covid-19 Pandemic and its Relationship to SARS-CoV-2 and Other Factors

    CONCLUSIONS
     Glaring inconsistencies and inexplicable “lacunae” invalidate the official theory

     The management of the health “crisis” seems to be a pretext for a totalitarian global takeover

     Totalitarian machinations: intention to impose a global cryptocurrency, a vaccine with nano-chips and a subcutaneous electronic chip

     There is massive corruption at the heart of WHO and the most unavowable intentions

     5G is implicated in Covid-19, with electromagnetic radiation having possibly highly potentiated:
    o The pathogenic power of the virus, or

    o The Prevotella bacterium that caused the cytokine shock
     Similarity between the lung damage observed by all emergency doctors and damage caused by the use of an electromagnetic weapon (plus permanent headaches, fatigue, burning sensations in the lungs, thrombosis and loss of sensitivity to smell and taste, also cited as symptoms of COVID-19)

     Many antennas were installed thanks to the lockdown, without concern for the “precautionary principle”, despite it being otherwise widely cited, in particular to hobble medical treatment

     “Covid-19” is a biological and electromagnetic war supported by a vast “smoke-and-mirrors” operation, which is sowing confusion among the ranks of medical and hospital personnel

     “Covid-19” could be the preparation for a much larger-scale joint operation combined with a smokescreen to conceal large-scale tests of the 5G weapon, for criminal ends that remain to be clarified

     5G installations, both terrestrial and aerial (Elon Musk’s satellites in low-Earth orbit), are clearly part of this “total war” project

     Dr. Jeremy K. Raines,2 an authoritative electromagnetic field engineer, reports that signals are used by the human body to regulate its processes, and warns that external electromagnetic signals can seriously interfere in this process.

     No investigation has been carried out on the reaction of the Earth to the
    massive use of 5G technology despite it having been established that industrial activities (mining activities, oil and gas extraction, geothermal) can induce earthquakes

     Unusual earthquakes have taken place in France and municipalities have been declared to be in a state of emergency.

    The Report also calls for further investigation and suggests all individuals worldwide prepare for independent living:

    After fifty days of investigation and in terms of risk study, the Investigation Group recommends that an urgent analysis by a Threat Study Group should be carried out on:

     The sociological impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on civil liberties and the economy

     The content of the mandatory vaccine under preparation, including the
    presence of nanotechnologies (electronic chips and population control)

     The intended abolition of physical currency and its impact on civil liberties (population chipping, which has already started in Europe)

     The impact on civil liberties and health of the widespread deployment of 5G, and the deployment and precise role of HAARP and SURA

     The precise nature of chemtrails and their objectives: heavy metals as
    endocrine disruptors (aluminium, barium), the spraying of ethnic viruses

     The risk of intercommunal clashes as a tool for the destruction of nations

     The risk of world war (widespread CBRN conflict).

    For individuals, the Investigation Group recommends that they:

     Develop their autonomy:
    o Natural water point nearby
    o Food
    o Vegetable garden
    o Chicken coop
    o Beehives (if possible)
    o Essential oils, green clay, quercetin
     Not submit to a vaccine (French and international law prohibits treatment without the informed consent of the patient)

     Keep their distance from operational 5G installations

     Beware of aerial spraying (chemtrails)
    o They should not go out.
    If we add to this the risk of intercommunal clashes being encouraged to destabilize and destroy nation states for the purpose of leading people towards unelected and totalitarian global governance, as well as the risks of CBRN conflicts, the future situation may well require considerable vigilance and solidarity, in a spirit of brotherhood and complementarity. Certain people seem to have decided to open Pandora’s box.

    Further, the report notes that it is only the seizing of political control by nationalists and the ending of the dreams of the Globalists for a one-world government which can save the day, for all humanity.
    “We are collectively on a tightrope and things can go either way, depending on the ability of citizens to react, either in the direction of full globalism with world government or in that of a political takeover of countries by their nationals. Only a political takeover of the organization of states by their nationals can lead to a favourable outcome for the populations.
    “Otherwise, we will see the general shift desired by the supranational oligarchy towards a world government in the hands of the financial powers, with populations being destined to be sharply reduced and then the survivors enslaved.”
    This writer does not agree with all matters contained in this Investigative Report, especially advice on social distancing and masks, and the treatment of the virus as a danger, but recognizes the value of the whole report and is posting here for general information–please read in full.

    Towards the foot of Gwin's post.

    Rough translation is:

    "The reserve officers have investigated for 50 days to clarify issues related to the 2020 "pandemic". The report has been banned from dissemination for the the moment. However, faced with the urgency and gravity of the facts, we nevertheless chose to communicate it with the general population. You have in your hands the 'general public' version of the report with redacted references to the group and the acronyms of the unit."

    This is a hugely positive development if it all checks out.

    Many other militaries around the world will also be arriving at similar conclusions.

    France's anti-maskers: the faces behind the movement

    Ségolène Allemandou France 24
    Fri, 09 Oct 2020 18:04 UTC


    Protesters hold up face masks and shout slogans during a protest against the mandatory wearing of face masks on the Place de La Nation in Paris on August 29 2020. © AFP - Christophe Archambault

    For many, face masks provide protection from the coronavirus. For others, they are a "muzzle" aimed at enslaving the population. Anti-maskers use social media to challenge what they consider to be a "health dictatorship". FRANCE 24 joined some Facebook groups to learn more about the movement.

    Some people take off their face masks as soon as they set foot outside, others forget them at the bottom of a handbag or buried in a pocket. But there are also those who never wear them, proudly claiming they are "anti-mask" despite the fact that it is mandatory to wear a face mask outside in many cities and towns across France, including Paris.

    Manuella*, interviewed by FRANCE 24 via a dedicated anti-maskers Facebook group, is in this latter category. Since the start of the Covid-19 health crisis, the 57-year-old artist living in the Cévennes in southern France has never bought a single mask. "Unthinkable," she says of the prospect. In shops, pharmacies or banks, she concedes she "yields to the rules" by covering the lower half of her face with a bandana. "But in the street, a mask is out of the question."

    Fiona* says she will never give in. In a post published on September 29, she claims to have been fired for refusing to wear a mask.

    Solène will not wear a mask for more than an hour at a time, even when she is at work in a health centre. "I only ever wear it with my patients," the 30-year-old Parisian explains to FRANCE 24. As a nurse, this attitude has earned much anger from her colleagues, but she refuses to give in.

    "I told them it was either that I don't wear masks or wear one and I end up with a migraine, which would force me to go home and then I would have to hand over my patients to them." Since this exchange the subject has been closed, even though she is aware that it has created a distance between her and her colleagues.

    "Apart from my partner and my brother, who share my point of view, I feel completely alone," confides the nurse, who is part of a Facebook group with more than 6,000 members. According to an Odoxa-Dentsu Consulting poll on the subject from August 31, only 9% of French people say they are "completely opposed" to wearing a mask, and 15% "rather opposed". Conversely, 75% are either "completely in favour of it" or "somewhat in favour" of it.

    'Online mobilisation has not gained public acceptance'

    Anti-maskers are definitely more of an urban phenomenon rather than a rural one, but they are also not very visible in France's city streets. Only a few hundred gathered in Paris to march in opposition to masks, shouting "Liberté! Liberté!" on August 29. This is a far cry from the 20,000 demonstrators who mobilised in the streets of Berlin on August 1 and the several thousand who formed a human chain along the German-Swiss border on October 3.

    "The online mobilisation is still struggling to gain broader public acceptance," explains Antoine Bristielle, author of the study "Bas les masques" (Down with Masks) for the Jean Jaurès Foundation, speaking with FRANCE 24. "But this could gradually develop, as was the case with the Yellow Vest protests."

    Bristielle, a social sciences professor, surveyed 1,000 anti-maskers as part of his study. He discovered four main objections to face masks emerged from respondents: masks are useless in preventing Covid-19 contamination; they are dangerous because they cause breathing difficulties and are a "hive of bacteria"; the coronavirus pandemic is over or never existed and the governments have lied to the people; and that masks are being used to control the people.

    A very specific trend emerged in Bristielle's study: more women and more people in their fifties participate in this protest movement than in the Yellow Vests. They are also likely to be more educated.

    "They are marked by a right-wing tropism, unlike the Yellow Vests, who are anchored more to the left," explains Bristielle. "Their demand is for more freedom, unlike the Yellow Vests, who are more concerned about equality."

    Mistrust of institutions

    One aspect that unites all of the anti-maskers is that they are very prolific on social media networks. They use these platforms to establish and expand their arguments: "the virus passes in spite of the mask"; "it prevents us from getting enough oxygen"; "we can't get acquire immunity wearing masks", as Manuella puts it.

    Their arguments are regularly supported by videos from media figures such as Yellow Vest activist Maxime Nicolle. He claims that "if cigarette smoke can pass through a mask, it is proof that the same is possible for the virus".

    Their arguments reflect a strong "structural mistrust of political institutions", says Bristielle, which tends to manifest in a higher susceptibility to conspiratorial theories. "Facebook groups function like closed spaces, where opposing arguments no longer have a place and no longer have a hold," he analyses. "On the other hand, they welcome anything that supports their views, including conspiracy theories."

    According to the study, 63% of those surveyed believe more than half of the conspiracy theories presented to them. One of these is that the virus was created by China to wage a bacteriological war against the rest of the world. On this point, however, Solène now admits she is "not certain".

    At issue: the government's inconsistent communication

    Casting doubt about the very existence of the virus, these groups also question the political factions that might be behind it and who might be benefitting. For example, Manuella believes that the production of masks taxed with VAT has become "a money factory".

    On this argument, Bristielle acknowledges that "the government's inconsistent communication [about the mask, which has been transformed from worthless to mandatory accessory] has only strengthened the anti-maskers' conviction".

    The government measures have "become too intrusive in the daily lives of the French" and are becoming almost "illogical", according to Solène. She sees the obligation to wear a mask as a "muzzle" designed to control the population and reduce individual freedom.

    "By what law are the elderly forced to die of loneliness? By what law are family gatherings forbidden?" she protests, referring to government advertisements "that make children feel guilty about going to see their grandparents".

    Many call for resistance in the face of "this health dictatorship" so as not to become "sheep". And regularly, the comments get out of hand or turn into insults, as is often the case on social networks.

    So what is the future for anti-maskers? While these groups may be struggling to get organised — just two meetings planned in October in Normandy and Lyon — they are joining other movements forming against government measures, such as those by restaurant owners or bar owners, whose industries have been wiped out. This is one way for them to attract new members into their ranks.

    For the majority of French people, securing their health remains a priority, according to an Ifop poll in August. "But if the crisis continues," warns Bristielle, "[this priority] could be superseded by a demand for freedom".

    Are the Yellow vests still going, or has that died down?

    The Yellow Vests are still going but like the rest of France, are under "Health Emergency Laws" and restrictions particularly targeting crowds of more than X people. It seems that Macron is hell bent on starving everyone as most of the planetary governments in order to implement the global financial reset and scoop most properties and assets.

    This story has not showed up in general US media, and I'm not certain this is the right place to share it here in Avalon. Feel free to move it if there is a better place.

    French Police Arrest 11th Suspect In Friday's Grisly Beheading As Government Vows To Disrupt Terror-Financing Networks (18 Oct)

    Quote "I want teachers to know that, after this ignoble act, the whole country is behind them," Castex told the Journal du Dimanche in an interview. "This tragedy affects each and every one of us because, through this teacher, it is the Republic that was attacked."

    The backlash to the attack is already centering on the government's efforts to disrupt the funding networks that finance terror. Speaking on France 3 TV channel, Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said that he will prepare "proposals to strengthen the control over financial flows" to terror groups.

    “There is a problem of financing a number of Islamist associations on which I think we can and must do better,” he said.

    And perhaps social media companies, instead of fixating on helping Joe Biden win the upcoming election, can marshal their censorship resources to crack down on "doxxing" like what happened here. After all, Twitter banned ZeroHedge for allegedly "doxxing" a Chinese scientist, according to one explanation provided via the company and/or via the press. Why weren't the same standards enforced here?

    Quote Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said there were some 80 investigations being conducted into online hate and that he was looking into whether to disband about 50 associations within the Muslim community.
    I follow a Counter-Terrorism expert on Twitter and her Twitter account is the only other place I've seen this story shared.

    I'm curious how the people in France are affected by this, if they are talking about it at all?

    Cui bono from the situation in France

    The Saker
    October 29, 2020

    I won’t even bother repeating it all here, those who are interested in my views of this entire Charlie Hebdo canard can read my article “I am NOT Charlie” here: https://thesaker.is/i-am-not-charlie/

    No, what I want to do is to ask a simple question: do you think the French leaders are simply stupid, suicidal or naive? I submit that they neither stupid, nor suicidal nor naive. In fact, they are using a well practiced technique which goes with some variation of this:
    • Infiltrate some pseudo-Islamic gang of cutthroats (literally!)
    • Keep them under close scrutiny ostensibly for counter-terrorism purposes
    • Inside the group, try to promote your confidential informers
    • Have your analysts work on the following question:
      • how could we best provoke these nutcases into a bloody terrorist act?
    • Once the plan is decided, simply execute it, say by organizing the posting fantastically offensive caricatures
    • Once the cutthroats strike, blame Islam and double down
    • By then, you have infuriated most of the immense Muslim world out there and you can rest assured that the process is launched and will continue on its own. You can now relax and get the pop-corn
    • Have your propaganda machine declare that Islam is incompatible with western civilization (whatever that means in 2020, both Descartes and Conchita Wurst I suppose…)
    • Shed some crocodile tears when the cutthroats murder some completely innocent Christian bystander
    • And announce a new crusade against “Islamism” (also a vague and, frankly, meaningless term!) and crack down on true Muslim communities and ideas while continuing to lovingly arm, train, finance and direct the “good terrorists” who have now become your own, personal, cutthroats.
    Cui bono?
    Anybody who knows anything about the political realities in France will immediately know in whose interests this all is and who is behind that: the Zionist power structure in France (CRIF, UEJF, etc. and the Israelis). They have a total control over Macron and over the entire political class, very much including Marine LePen.

    Who else could have concocted the “beautiful” term “Islamo-Fascisme“?!

    This is a new phenomenon, a new ideology and a new strategy, which Alain Soral calls “National Zionism” which I discussed in some details here: https://thesaker.is/the-great-fraud-...ional-zionism/.

    In its inception (from Ahad Ha’am, Theodor Herzl, Ze’ev Jabotinsky, etc) Zionism used to be a largely secular and nationalistic, then, later, after WWII, it became very leftist and still secular ( Ben-Gurion, Shlomo Lavi, Golda Meir). Modern Zionism, however, is both rabidly racist and religious – the perfect example would be US neocons. It is also a ruthless and genocidal ideology which has created something truly original: God-mandated racism, something which, as far as I know, no other religion professes (so much for the ignorant and, frankly, plain stupid notions of “Abrahamic religions” or, even worse, “Judeo-Christian values”!). National Zionism is the next phase of Zionism – it is rabidly “conservative” (in a Neocon sense only, of course!) and it parasitically feeds on whatever nationalist ideology the local patriotic goyim are inclined towards (the best example of that being the so-called “Christian Zionists” in the USA).

    But here is the demonic “beauty” of it all: in a society like the French one, the Zionists don’t even need to micromanage their false flags: given enough uneducated and murderous pseudo-Muslim cutthroats and enough rabid secularists wanted to offend the faithful – some kind of violent explosion will *inevitably* happen!

    Right now, between the embarrassing Yellow Vests movement, the crumbling economy, the massive influx, wave after wave, of unwanted and un-adaptable immigrants and the resulting social tensions, the French regime is in deep trouble. Add to this the COVID pandemic which just added to the chaos and anger and finish with a total lack of foreign policy successes and you will immediately see why this regime badly needed what could be called a “patriotic reaction”.

    Finally, there is the time-proven method of scaring your own population into a state of catatonic acceptance of everything and anything in the name of “security”.

    We see it all in France today, we saw it in the UK before, and also in Belgium. And, rest assured, we will see much more such massacres in the future. The only way to really stop these “terrorist” attacks is to show their sponsors that we know who they are and we understand what they are doing. Short of this, these attacks will continue.

    EU chaos: Macron on alert as violent riots over economic crisis spread across Europe

    LEADERS across the EU are on alert as violent protests erupt across major European capitals, following fears concerning the economic impact of severe and lengthy coronavirus lockdowns.

    By Oli Smith
    PUBLISHED: 08:22, Thu, Oct 29, 2020

    UPDATED: 15:26, Thu, Oct 29, 2020

    Emmanuel Macron imposed a second national lockdown in France last night, declaring that a sudden and “brutal brake” on virus transmission was needed. However, the French President acknowledged the threat of violence and riots exploding on French streets against the lockdown measures, saying that he would take "full responsibility for the reactions this lockdown will cause". There are growing fears that the number of violent anti-lockdown protests recently seen in Italy and Spain will follow in France.

    Charlie Hebdo Rides Again

    Israel Shamir
    November 2, 2020



    The French President stepped on a rake for the second time, and was duly slapped in the face by its long handle. French products went off the shelf in the Arab and Turkish shops; heads chopped off in the midst of pandemics; a lot of animosity, anger, smacking of a civil war. Vous l’avez voulu (you asked for it), Emmanuel Macron! We saw it in 2015, why did you push “Replay”? Anyone can step on a rake once, but to repeat this mistake? It is not a sign of a smart guy, unless this response is exactly what he wanted.

    The virus fanatics have touched the small children by enforcing masks all day long in school from as young as 6 years old.
    Protest of hundreds of parents in the streets of the village of prime minister Jean Castex.
    This is very significant.
    Is the population going to overcome their induced fear of dying and being fined?
