Sceptical blogger Eugyppius has spotted (https://www.eugyppius.com/p/everything-crazy-internet-people) the creeping normalisation of draconian Covid measures to address other 'public health' issues.

The BBC reports (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61838543) that outdoor public events have been banned in an area of France - because of the heat, I kid you not.
Outdoor public events have been banned in an area of France as a record breaking heatwave sweeps across Europe.

In Gironde, officials said public events, including some of the official June 18th Resistance celebrations, will be prohibited from Friday at 2pm "until the end of the heat wave". Indoor events at venues without air-conditioning are also banned.

Private celebrations, such as weddings, will still be allowed.

"Everyone now faces a health risk," local official Fabienne Buccio told France Bleu radio. Then we hear (https://www.welt.de/politik/deutschland/plus239407847/Maskenpflicht-ab-Oktober-Bundesregierung-erwaegt-O-bis-O-Regel-bei-Corona.html) that the German Federal Government is considering making face masks compulsory in October, just because it's October.
In preparing new infection control measures, the Federal Government is intensively discussing a general obligation to wear a mask beginning in October... Part of the coalition Government favours introducing a so-called "O-to-O" ["Oktober bis Ostern" - "October to Easter"] rule, which up to now has been used primarily for motorists, requiring winter tyres on the roads between October and Easter. In future, a similar rule could apply to indoor mask mandates during this period.

In response to a question from Welt on Sunday, the Chancellor's Office said that such a rule was being considered among various possible regulations for upcoming amendments of the Infection Protection Act...

A seasonal mask requirement would be an attempt to curb other respiratory infections besides COVID-19, supporters of the plan say. Eugyppius comments that "everything crazy internet people told you about why lockdowns were a bad idea is coming true".
The most destructive aspects of containment have been retired, but for what remains, they don't even bother with Corona as an excuse anymore. All you need is a heat wave to ban mass gatherings in France now; public health officials just have to declare that "Everyone faces a health risk", and that's it, your right to assemble is voided. The lunatic German Government, meanwhile, is feverishly trying to make masks a permanent feature of winter life, even if SARS-2 disappears tomorrow. Masks might "curb ... respiratory infections", and that's all you need to mandate face coverings in a major central European country these days. Eugyppius's post is worth reading in full (https://www.eugyppius.com/p/everything-crazy-internet-people).

This might not be a perfect fit for this thread, it's not a story about protest or turmoil in France but about a seemingly bungled French police investigation into a multiple murder that happened 10 years ago in the French Alps. We've had quite a few stories in our press over the years about botched French police investigations (though it's not the case that our coppers are perfect either), but this tragic event made international news.

The source (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/06/25/what-went-wrong-french-alps-murder-investigation-detective/) is behind a paywall, so here are the pertinent parts.

"What went wrong in the French Alps murder investigation – by the detective who saw it all

Ten years on, the murder of a British family remains unsolved - and the lead UK detective says that the investigation was 'damaged by egos'

There are images Mark Preston wishes he could erase from memory, but after a 30-year career as a detective, a handful of cases invade his thoughts on an almost daily basis. One is the unsolved, staggeringly violent case of the al-Hilli family, three of whom were, along with a French cyclist, shot dead in an Alpine beauty spot on 5 September 2012.

A decade on, Preston, who led the British end of the investigation for three years, can still see the crime-scene photos of Saad al-Hilli, his wife Iqbal and her mother Suhaila al-Allaf, each shot twice in the head, in the family’s bullet-riddled BMW. He thinks about the two little daughters who somehow survived the attack, and wonders what their lives are like today. He goes over and over the facts involuntarily, wondering what he could have done differently and what he might have missed. 
‘It leaves an emotional footprint,’ he says.

Having worked on dozens of murders, the al-Hilli case is the retired detective chief inspector’s major unfinished business. It is also the ‘most complex and challenging’ investigation of his career – but it should not have been unsolvable. 

Preston believes the murder inquiry was hampered by a series of blunders by French investigators, who apparently failed to secure vital pieces of evidence and, in his view, spent years going down blind alleys. He claims that instead of keeping an open mind about who might have pulled the trigger, and why, they fixated on a single theory, eventually abandoned, meaning the trail had gone cold by the time they considered alternatives.

‘I couldn’t get the investigation in France to change direction and that I bitterly regret,’ he says. ‘There were times when the French asked us to do things and we took them at face value because we were fearful of damaging the relationship, when we should have just said, “You’re wrong.”

This is all laid out in a new three-part Channel 4 documentary, Murder in the Alps. Preston, who retired from Surrey Police in 2019, hopes it might persuade someone to come forward with some information that could unlock the case. ‘There could be someone who was in a relationship with the gunman who is willing to come forward, or someone decides they can’t live with the guilt any more, or it could be a serving prisoner who said something to someone,’ he says.

As to his belief about what happened: ‘When I combine all the evidence, there is one theory that would stand up to scrutiny, that fits very nicely…’

The case became an international news story, not least because it made so little sense. Why would anyone have gunned down a middle-class British family, on a last-minute caravanning holiday to France, as they took an unplanned drive up a mountain road near Lake Annecy?

Saad al-Hilli had stopped the family car in a lay-by and his eldest daughter, Zainab, then aged seven, had got out with him to look at a sign showing hiking trails. Before the rest of the family could get out of the car, the killer was upon them, firing at least 21 shots from a pre-Second World War Luger pistol. Saad managed to get back in the car, shouting to Zainab to do the same, and tried to drive away, only for the car’s wheels to get stuck.

The gunman ruthlessly picked off Saad, 50, Iqbal, 47, and Suhaila, 74, as well as local cyclist Sylvain Mollier, 45, who had stopped to attend to his bike chain. Zainab was shot in the shoulder as she tried to get back in the car, and pistol-whipped over the head. She narrowly survived after being put into a coma for days. Her sister Zeena, aged four, ducked into the rear passenger footwell when the shooting began and hid under her mother’s legs. Eight hours later she was found, physically unharmed and still hiding, by French police.

This is the first in a series of questions levelled at French police in the documentary: why did it take eight hours to find her?

The investigation was already eight months old when Preston joined it, taking over from the previous senior investigating officer, who was moving on to another role, and he had concerns of his own: ‘My first impression was that the investigation had grown too big. There were lines of investigation that were taking up extraordinary amounts of time that were unnecessary,’ he recalls.

‘There was a big gap between my expectations and what was delivered by the French. From a forensics point of view, the crime scene was carnage. Items that were found in one part of the BMW were moved to another part… There was incompetence on the part of the French. But the bigger mistakes were strategic.’

In overall charge was Eric Maillaud, the local prosecutor who had announced a week after the murders that ‘the reasons and causes have their origins in [the UK]’. The more Maillaud dug into the al-Hillis’ background, the more convinced he seemed to become that secrets within the family held the key. 

Saad had fallen out with his brother Zaid over inheritance, and there were unproven allegations of a forged will. There was a Swiss bank account with almost a million euros in it that had belonged to their late father. Saad had a Taser in his home; police concluded he may have been worried about his safety. Zaid was arrested and questioned by Preston as part of the investigation.

But the police’s job is to prove who committed a crime, and how, not why. Zaid had been in England at the time of the murders and, after months of ‘overt and covert’ evidence-gathering, there was ‘not a shred of evidence’, says Preston, that he was involved. Preston is convinced of his innocence.

Investigators also made inquiries in Iraq, chasing down rumours that the al-Hillis, who came to the UK in 1968, had connections to Saddam Hussein. It went nowhere. There were reports that Saad, who worked for a company that makes satellites, could have been a spy, killed as part of an elaborate plot after arranging to hand over secrets. That, eventually, was also ruled out.

Maillaud also discovered that Iqbal al-Hilli had lived in Louisiana before she met Saad, where she married a local man in 1999 and for 18 months was known as Kelly Thompson. Astonishingly, it emerged that her former husband, James Thompson, had died on the day of the murders. Was Iqbal the real target? The French wanted to exhume James’s body to see if he had been poisoned (rather than had the heart attack that was given as his cause of death) but US authorities declined.

Maillaud’s belief that the al-Hillis had been the victims of a contract killing was heightened by another mystery: Saad and Iqbal’s passports were missing. Had they been taken by a hitman as proof that he had got the right targets? No. Almost two years after the murders, Saad’s passport was found in the pocket of his jacket, which had been bagged up without being properly searched.

It was another terrible oversight by the French investigators – and there were more. The most important witness was a British RAF veteran called Brett Martin, who had been passed by Mollier as they both cycled up the hill; he was the first to discover the bodies and put Zainab in the recovery position. His clothes were covered in blood and he had touched a victim who had been in close contact with the killer, but the police did not immediately seize those clothes for forensic analysis – after he returned home, they were washed.

Preston believes the French authorities’ insistence that the al-Hillis were the target of a ‘hit’ led to a blinkered ‘groupthink’ approach that ignored contradictory evidence and failed to explore other possibilities. ‘My experience is that investigations can often be damaged by egos,’ he says, ‘and I don’t think this case was any different.’

Could investigators have been too eager to prove that foreign victims had been preyed on by foreign criminals, rather than having to look for evil in their own midst? ‘Hugely so,’ Preston says. ‘Within days of the inquiry starting, they were saying the answer lies in the UK. That’s an incredibly bold statement to make at a time when they couldn’t possibly be sure, and having made that statement, human nature makes it difficult to go back on it and admit you were wrong.’

From the outset, Preston harboured an alternative theory. What if the al-Hillis were not the targets? In that case, everything about their colourful backgrounds would be a red herring. ‘I began to have my doubts that the al-Hillis were the target the first time I drove up the road to the murder scene,’ he says. ‘It’s a couple of miles of single-track road, so following someone up there is unlikely.’

No one apart from the al-Hillis knew where they were going that day, so the idea of a gunman lying in wait for them seems impossible. If the family were the targets, why did the gunman, who tried to kill Zainab, apparently have no idea they had another daughter? And why would a professional hitman use such an antiquated weapon?

Ballistics reports revealed another disturbing fact: Mollier had been shot no fewer than seven times, more than any other victim. When Preston reconstructed the sequence of events, he became convinced that Mollier was shot first, and that after turning his gun on the al-Hillis, the killer went back and shot Mollier again, in the face. Had Mollier been the intended target all along?

‘To me it was very clear the killer wanted Mollier dead,’ says Preston. It is this theory that ‘fits nicely’ with the circumstances, he says.

Mollier, a divorced factory worker, had started a relationship with Claire Schutz, a local whose family owned a lucrative pharmacy business and who had recently given birth to his child. Mollier was known to go cycling in the area, and may well have mentioned to someone where he was going that day. 

The car park marked the end of the metalled section of the road and he was on a road bike, so it was a logical place to predict he would take a break or at least turn around, and the obvious place to pick him off. The use of a Luger also points to a local killer; they were issued to Swiss soldiers for decades and many remain in circulation in the area, close to the Swiss border.
‘Maybe the gunman struck lucky by having the al-Hillis there,’ suggests Preston. ‘By killing the al-Hillis, it would have helped to disguise the real target and made the investigation much harder.’

If that is the truth, it seems to have worked.

French prosecutors are now working on the theory that it was a random attack. Preston shakes his head: ‘I don’t think it was random.’

Maillaud says in the documentary that failing to find the passports for two years was ‘a mistake’, which was ‘down to the clumsiness of some of the investigators’. He dismisses as ‘fantasy’ the idea that influential people could have orchestrated a cover-up if Mollier was the intended target, and adds, ‘There are questions which we could ask for ever and I’m not sure we’ll ever get answers.’"

A lame duck president who doesn't know what to do.
A parliament that is in open revolt against him.
An angry and sullen population.
A military that's becoming increasingly critical.
An economic crisis that is only just beginning.

"The month of July will very likely be the driest July ever recorded since 1959," spokesman Christian Veil from Meteo-France told AFP.

On average, just eight mm (0.3 inches) of rain fell across the country from July 1-25, less than the previous low of 16 mm which was clocked in 2020, he said.

"We're in a very difficult situation even though we're only at the end of July," he said, saying soil humidity was at record lows and many trees were losing their leaves prematurely.

Farmers across the country are reporting difficulties in feeding livestock because of parched grasslands, while irrigation has been banned in large areas of northwest and southeast France due to water shortages.

The flow of the river Loire for example, which empties into the Atlantic in northwest France, has fallen by a quarter since the start of July.

On the eastern river Rhine, which forms the France-Germany border, commercial boats are having to run at a third of their carrying capacity in order to avoid hitting the bottom because the water level is so low.

A total of 90 out of 96 administrative regions in mainland France have water restrictions of some sort, a record number, according to the environment ministry.

More than 100 towns in France have no more drinking water and must receive deliveries by truck, France's ecological transition minister said while visiting the country's southeastern region.

"There are already more than a hundred municipalities in France that today have no more drinking water, and for which supplies are being transported by truck to these municipalities because there is nothing left in the pipes," said Christophe Béchu, while visiting the town of Roumoules.

Multiple European countries are experiencing historic drought conditions amid low precipitation and high temperatures made more likely due to climate change.

France's Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne activated an interministerial crisis cell on Friday to address the drought which her office said in a statement was the "worst ever recorded" in the country.

"The exceptional drought that we are currently experiencing is depriving many municipalities of water and is a tragedy for our farmers, our ecosystems and biodiversity," the statement said.

Borne called on the French to be "very vigilant about the use of our water resources."

Already, 66 French départements -- more than two-thirds of them -- are at the highest drought warning level of "crisis" with at least 93 départements at one of the top three levels of warning for drought.

The ecological transition minister Béchu said the challenge was to tighten up water restrictions to avoid getting to the point where there is no longer any water.

Already in areas at the crisis warning level, there are restrictions on watering golf courses, filling pools, watering gardens, and washing cars. Some areas are no longer allowed to have fountains running.

Capital city Paris has been placed on the first level of the alert system for drought with the city already taking measures to limit water usage, including watering parks only at night.

[convenient propaganda 'splanation scripted insert here:]

In the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)'s recent sixth assessment report, scientists said that human-caused climate change would contribute to the "increased likelihood and severity of the impact of droughts" in several regions.

Climate change will also impact the likelihood of other extreme weather events such as floods.
A recent report from the European Commission said that nearly half of the EU (https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2022/07/18/nearly-half-of-eu-exposed-to-warning-drought-levels-report-says) is exposed to warning levels of drought. This is likely to threaten agricultural production and crop yields in several countries.

Russia to HAS cut gas to Largest gas supplier in Europe (https://www.rt.com/business/561840-gazprom-engie-gas-cut/)

France's Engie gas has the largest gas distribution system in Europe, spanning several countries. Engie did not pay their gas bill, there's no political play on the part of Russia, obviously no one expects Russia to send free gas!!! The link goes to RT, in case you can't hit RT, here's the text:

"Russian state-owned energy giant Gazprom confirmed on Tuesday it had cut off gas supplies to French utilities company Engie. The Paris-based firm has failed to pay for July gas deliveries in full, the Saint Petersburg major explained.

Gazprom informed Engie that it would cease the gas deliveries starting September 1 until the moment it gets the payment for the already supplied gas in full, the energy giant said in a statement. It also noted that the French side had failed to make the payment by Tuesday evening, making any further gas deliveries impossible under Russian law.

Earlier in the day, Engie warned that Gazprom had informed it "of a reduction in gas deliveries" and cited "a disagreement between the parties on the application of some contracts," according to Bloomberg. It did not provide any details about the nature of the disagreements and did not specify the level of delivery restrictions.

French Energy Minister Agnes Pannier-Runacher accused Moscow of using its gas exports as a weapon on Tuesday. She also said that France "must prepare for the worst-case scenario of a complete interruption of supplies." Her statement was made before the Gazprom announcement."

Jim's comment:
So, that stupid French energy minister announces Russia will cut the gas BEFORE Russia did, DID NOT PAY FOR THE GAS and then called - being disconnected for nonpayment - Russia using gas as a "weapon". Cute. I see how that works!!! Gotta beat those war drums somehow!

After the Swiss and Finns joined the Germans, Austrians, and Swedes in bailing out there energy providers (https://cms.zerohedge.com/markets/trillions-liquidity-support-going-be-needed-swiss-finns-join-europes-bailout-brigade), who are facing trillions in margin calls; new legislation covering Switzerland’s energy supply will make heating homes to more than 19°C unlawful in the event of an energy shortage.

In addition, hot water should not be heated to more than 60 degrees, and portable electric heaters, saunas, and heated swimming pools are prohibited.


https://assets.zerohedge.com/s3fs-public/styles/inline_image_mobile/public/inline-images/shutterstock_550697407.jpg?itok=FNq5mh8C


Remix News' Thomas Brooke reports (https://rmx.news/switzerland/swiss-citizens-who-overheat-their-homes-this-winter-could-face-hefty-fines-and-3-years-in-jail/) that Swiss citizens found to be in violation of the country’s new heating rules, which prohibit warming homes above 19°C this winter, could face daily fines of up to 3,000 Swiss francs and up to three years in prison.

To note, the World Health Organization has long held that (https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/62723/WHO_EHE_RUD_90.2.pdf#page=17) a temperature no colder than 20°C is recommended for children, the elderly, and those with existing health conditions.

Markus Spörndli, a spokesperson of the Swiss Department of Economics (DEF) explained that “infringements of the law on the supply of the country are always misdemeanors, even […] crimes, and must be prosecuted ex officio by the cantons.”

The fine to be imposed on consumers found to be violating the new energy laws will range from 30 francs up to a maximum of 3,000 francs per day, Spörndli said, confirming the amount would be dependent on the nature of the offense and the economic situation of the perpetrator.

Furthermore, willful violations of the government guidelines could see consumers jailed for up to three years in prison, something Spörndli says the government hopes to avoid.
“The draft ordinances are based primarily on the fact that the vast majority of the population respects the laws,” he added.
Economy Minister Guy Parmelin told a press conference at the Federal Council last Wednesday that Switzerland is “not a police state,” but it is understood, as reported by Swiss news outlet Blick (https://www.blick.ch/fr/news/suisse/en-cas-de-penurie-denergie-ceux-qui-chaufferont-trop-leur-maison-pourraient-risquer-la-prison-id17851103.html), that there may be spot checks undertaken to ensure people are complying with the rules.

Swiss cantons now have until Sept. 22 to discuss the proposals and address how they may be enforced, with some officials concerned they may be inundated with citizen complaints from nosy neighbors.

As such, the DEF only expects fines to be dished out “if the infringement was reported and checked and could then be proven.”

However, police chiefs believe enforcement will be difficult.
“There are still a few open questions that need to be clarified,” Fredy Fässler told Blick, adding that he does not want to see the energy police going door to door: “We want to apply the ordinance with discernment.”
As we previously highlighted (https://summit.news/2022/08/03/spain-bans-air-conditioning-dropping-below-27c/), numerous other European countries are introducing similar restrictions in the face of a worsening energy crisis following the shut down of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline.

French economist Charles Gave said many more people aren’t buying the narrative that Vladimir Putin is solely to blame for the crisis.

“For the last 15 years, our European leaders have gone into a climate craze, promoting magic mirrors and windmills as the solution. It does not work. These solutions demand the same capacity in gas power plants,” Gave said.

Unvaccinated Are “Cut From The Cloth Of The Greatest Who Ever Lived”

As an unvaccinated resident living in Germany I’ve experienced first hand periods of psychological hell and dark hours over the past year or so, what follows is one for the greatest compliments and motivational messages I’ve ever seen in my 63 and half years of life.

Last month French General Christian Blanchon paid tribute in the French press to the UNVACCINATED for their extraordinary achievement in withstanding immense – even inhuman – pressure from all sides.

His powerful message of “tribute” gives all the people who were defamed, marginalized and viciously attacked during the Corona period the credit they deserve. They stood strong against the worst imaginable kind of government and institutional coercion, and did so peacefully, courageously and intellectually.

Tribute in honor of the unvaccinated

By General Christian Blanchon
(Translated, emphasis added, from the German here (https://www.wochenblick.at/corona/franzosen-general-lobt-widerstand-die-ungeimpften-sind-superhelden/) by P. Gosselin)
They are there, by your side, they seem normal, but they are superheroes.

Even if I were fully vaccinated, I would admire the unvaccinated for withstanding the greatest pressures I have ever seen, including from spouses, parents, children, friends, colleagues and doctors.

People who were capable of such character, courage and critical thinking undoubtedly embody the best of humanity.

They can be found everywhere, in all age groups, educational levels, countries and opinions.

They are of a special kind. They are the soldiers that every army of light wants to have in its ranks.

They are the parents that every child desires and the children that every parent dreams of.

They are beings beyond the average of their societies, they are the essence of the peoples who have built all cultures and conquered all horizons.

They are with you, by your side, they seem normal, but they are superheroes.

They did what others could not, they were the tree that withstood the hurricane of insults, discrimination and social exclusion.

And they did it because they thought they were alone, and they believed they were alone.

Excluded from their families’ Christmas tables, they had never seen anything so cruel. They lost their jobs, they let go of their careers, they had no money…

… But they persevered.

They suffered immeasurable discrimination, denunciations, betrayals and humiliations…

… yet they persevered.

Never before in human history has there been such a “casting”, we now know who the resistance fighters are on planet Earth.

Women, men, old, young, rich, poor, of all races and all religions, the unvaccinated, the chosen ones of the invisible ark, the only ones who managed to resist when everything collapsed.

You are the ones who passed an unimaginable test that many of the toughest Marines, commandos, Green Berets, astronauts and geniuses could not master.

You are cut from the cloth of the greatest who ever lived, those heroes born among ordinary men who glow in the dark.”

– Gen. Christian Blanchon (8 September 2022)
That’s what I call one hell of a general. God speed you, sir!

I’m going to frame this tribute and hang it on the wall.

This beautiful text has been attributed to many authors in different languages and it is hard to believe that the General Blanchon is the originator. I am not impressed by my sporadic contacts with french retired military. There are though some strong independent voices with military experience that are getting organized to liberate France. .And what to believe of a hidden international military alliance that is operating under total secrecy?

Gasoline shortages in France:
[...]The "shortage" is mostly due to workers' strikes in refineries, distribution, etc... which are, of course, coincidental with sanctions, economic turmoils, etc... The "hand" is becoming more and more visible.

[Bill Ryan]

A very interesting, concise, in-depth 15-minute analysis of the crisis in France, which really is fast becoming a crisis. I learned quite a lot from this which I didn't know before.

Alexander Mercouris, who understands European political history better than anyone I'm aware of (and is very skilled at explaining it all) emphasizes that the current strikes are more wide-ranging (and capable of spreading to other sectors) than the protests of the Yellow Vests which were persistent and often spectacular but which in the end achieved little or nothing.

This situation is different, and Mercouris argues that it might soon reach a similar escalated point which faced Charles de Gaulle in 1968. De Gaulle survived that, for two basic reasons — the military was on his side, and so (astonishingly) was France's Communist Party, who came to his aid and saved the day.

Here, Macron is not de Gaulle. :) He's unpopular, inasmuch as many in France have the feeling that he's really not a root-and-branches patriotic Frenchman to the core. He's increasingly seen as some kind of 'alien'. And the military dislikes him.

So if all this intensifies, and the strikes spread, and it's a hard winter in Europe, then Macron may be forced to resign (the only way in which he could be removed from office). This is only a possibility — but it's a possibility.

French independent parlementarian Jean Lassalle survived 4 heart operations after the J&J covid vax and voices a strong accusation in an interview.

Bring out the guillotines for those traitors! Or better prepare a distant new prison planet to confine their souls.
First off: no grocery stores in my experience or to my knowledge had any controls in terms of vaccinations. If you wore a mask, you did your shopping. I am not saying no store in France rejected anyone: if something can happen, it probably will; but the statistical mean is a much better guide than the outlier to what is going on.

Second: ‘Jean Lassalle survived 4 heart operations after the J&J covid vax’. This is a fine example of the logical fallacy ‘post hoc ergo propter hoc’, i.e. perceived causation where none exists. People have heart issues all the time, after doing something too strenuous, after watching TV, after browsing the Avalon forum, or after listening to Jean Lassalle, who is a very minor politician who pops up every presidential election and corners 1% of the electorate.
I lost my sense of smell at the start of 2020, to be told, after multiple tests and treatments, that it had nothing to do with covid, nothing to do with a bang on the head, nothing to do with anything known; so I went home and got on with it.
Lassalle may have had a reaction to the vaccine, but he hasn’t demonstrated the point. Nor has he demonstrated the avoidance of the vaccine by people filmed allegedly taking it. The entire content of this and countless other videos is totally unconvincing and inconclusive either way.
As usual, talk of traitors and guillotines is premature, and M. Lassalle has probably passed his best-before date too.

I find your remarks and its sophistical logic rather difficult to fathom. You do not seem to weigh the seriousness of the health crisis and the cardiac damage that is happening. Mr.Lassalle certainly tried hard to understand the cause of his hart troubles. Why give the impression he is dreaming it up? Like so many others who constantly say it is all a coincidence but have been discovered being blatant liars in this crisis. Nobody knows how the cheating with placebos is happening. Lassalle may be a politician on his way out but pointing out that he had only 1% of votes is quite haughty. If one agrees with them or not , there are several strong political intellectuals like Assellineau or Cheminade or a De Villiers who all have poor scores in this democratic circus. And if suggesting the death sentence is premature, realize that they already have pronounced a death sentence on us all. These decision makers are egotistically working for their survival and they know very well they are destroying their fellow man and woman.

Thank you Philippe. I don’t think ‘haughty’ is the right word at all: the guy is just a man in the street like you or me. I am not recommending the guillotine; on the contrary, let’s calm down, I am bringing everything and everyone down towards statistically insignificant everyday phenomena having simple explanations or none at all. You don’t need to conjure up an evil ‘they’ to know that there is a death sentence on us all. In case you hadn’t noticed, try as we may, in absolute terms, the mortality rate is still stuck at 100%. To be sure, in relative terms, life expectancy has soared, and understandably has begun to peak. Why so high and no higher? First, because we are curing most illnesses but are so far unable to reverse the frailties of old age: the maximum lifespan remains around 110, and the vast majority are content with something less than that. And secondly, because longevity has created an epidemic of old people. Actually, more and more people are living longer than they would like. The fact remains that, despite talk of depopulation, the generalization of contraception and smaller families, the world population continues to increase. The pandemic, as a supposed culling exercise, is/was a miserable failure. All it did was hasten the deaths of too many of the very elderly; it did not radically alter the demographic situation. Climate issues also come into play, as do the many ways modern life is poisoning us even as it improves our condition.

This is nothing new. As I recall, one of the possible reasons for the decline and fall of the Roman empire may have been the widespread habit of eating and drinking out of tableware made of lead. I can remember a time when water mains were made of lead piping, so the remedy has been a long time coming. But we have invented all kinds of other ways of poisoning ourselves, and discovering later, be it radium, plastics, 5G, industrial tobacco or whatever. Despite all these killers, we are still living longer than ever before... and complaining more and more vociferously that we are all going to die.
How anyone has become so out of synch with such basic data, for me has to be some kind of psychic or mental issue that needs to be addressed. But many more or less mainstream groups are addressing these individual concerns. Human society has evolved so much, and recently so rapidly, that some kind of upgrade is required in order to provide an overall package downloadable by everyone. You see the problem in science, where everyone has become increasingly specialized and incomprehensible to the non-specialist, i.e. nearly everyone else.

There is huge disagreement over two alternatives: AI, representing a probable downgrade, and ‘spiritual enlightenment’. All I can say (once again) is that the ‘blame game’, aka conspiracy theory, is the former making inroads into the latter. The latter is sloppy terminology, I apologize. It has a physical component, which might be the overriding of the instincts of the reptilian brain (where did that name come from?) after processing thoughts or mind input to the cortex. This after all, is what has taken mankind from being an animal, a monkey, to something else, a work in progress. I am not talking about Windows.2025.

So OK, call me haughty: as a French speaker you will recognize the word’s root as meaning from ‘higher up’, ‘above’. Let’s say, politicians generally are having a rough time right now; whether or not they have their noses in the trough, they don’t have the tools to do the job. So someone needs to intervene from a higher perspective. Isn’t that what this forum is all about, or should be? I make no apologies for pushing the envelope.

[Philippe]

Dear Tree ( that sounds haughty, isn't it ? 😉

I respect the reflections you make but after reading 2 times ( I may need a third time) I will continue to profoundly disagree.

All these complaints are misplaced with your arguments of living longer and a mental issue being at the root of it. For you we must calm down and relativate everything.

Of course there is a mental trauma and I also suffered from the pains they inflicted on us with their false measures, terror and hostage taking . Names can be put on "they" so you can start to withdraw that cheap argument from the envelope please.

You want to take us on the road of justification for what is a pure evil scheme. Reasoning like yours is the sophistical way of impeding justice. The effort to rub all the dirt under the floor mat is in full swing now. You have not looked at the profoundness of it all_

Realize that there are many people like me who remember many lives that ended in great suffering since we were tricked in inhabiting these vulnerable meat bodies. Wat is happening now is the preparation of reckoning and justice for the same evil souls that have made life unbearable at times in this galaxy.

There are many angles to get even with the wicked ones. And I have now restrained myself to convince others that their angle of revolt is not the right one. One can not stop those souls that want to overcome the falsehoods in their respective disciplines. Let them all win.

Calm down you say.. I say gently but firmly : get out of the way .

I never thought I would be for the capital punishment one day.

Dr. Christian Perronne in Paris on October 10 at an interview for RESCUE (https://rescue.substack.com) and TrialSite News (https://www.trialsitenews.com). (Mary Beth Pfeiffer)


PARIS—A prominent French physician has won a stunning victory against charges that he denigrated official covid policies, with the French Order of Physicians holding that he was in fact obliged to speak out.

In its ruling, the French governing body for doctors found that Christian Perronne, 67, acted in the best interest of citizens and his profession in critiquing covid treatments and vaccines on social media, in national television interviews, and in a best-selling book.
“Dr. Perronne, an internationally recognized expert in the field of infectious diseases, was best placed to understand public health issues,” the translated decision stated.

“If he spoke in the press about the action of the government and the pharmaceutical industry—as he was legitimate to do and even had the obligation to do so in this area which fell within his competence—he confined himself to publicly, but without invective, a discordant voice on a subject of general interest.”
In March 2020, as covid was exploding, Perronne emailed me a hugely encouraging study (https://www.mediterranee-infection.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Hydroxychloroquine_final_DOI_IJAA.pdf) by Dr. Didier Raoult on successful treatment of covid with an old antimalarial drug, hydroxychloroquine. We both thought covid could quickly be tamed. But when President Trump “fast-tracked” the drug a day after my article (https://www.forbes.com/sites/marybethpfeiffer/2020/03/18/science-works-to-use-old-cheap-drugs-to-attack-coronavirus--it-might-just-work/?sh=65aa1a595c49) on Forbes.com, the safe, generic treatment began a slow and tragic slide toward mainstream ridicule and rejection.

Perronne went on to sharply criticize the French government’s covid approach, including in a highly successful book entitled Is there a mistake THEY didn’t make?: COVID-19: the sacred union of incompetence and arrogance. The book, and statements Perronne made in a whirlwind of media interviews, soon got him into trouble with French medical authorities, which he believes was at the behest of French President Emmanuel Macron.
“At the beginning I understood things were going in the wrong way,” Perronne told me. Having served for a decade as overseer, variously, of the nation’s communicable disease, health security, and vaccine review commissions, “I think I knew how to manage such problems.”
Among Perronne’s other qualifications, he was vice president of the European Technical Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization for six years, which provides independent review and expertise on vaccines for the World Health Organization.

“Caregivers suspended: STOP!” reads a sign at the rally in support of Dr. Christian Perronne. (FranceSoir)


The Inquisition
Ten days before the ruling that absolved him, Perronne and I met for an interview in a Paris home, where my hostess, a retired physician, had read Perronne’s book, and a neighbor happily recognized him on the street as he was arriving. Perronne was facing the loss of his license to practice medicine based on complaints both by the Order of Physicians and an independent doctor who felt he had been attacked by Perronne.

Leading up to the charges, Perronne had found himself transformed. He had once been an esteemed public health expert, member of the infectious diseases faculty at the University of Versailles at Saint-Quentin, and one-time president of a professional society of infectious disease experts. But suddenly, he was a “charlatan,” he said.

“I was Galileo in front of the Inquisition tribunal,” he said of the September 13 hearing (https://www.francesoir.fr/politique-france/conseil-de-l-ordre-des-medecins-pr-perronne-accueillit-en-heros) in the Disciplinary Chamber of the Order of Physicians. It nonetheless left him hopeful. In a huge show of support, an estimated 3,000 people had turned out in the streets outside the tribunal. “An extraordinary crowd was present,” the news outlet FranceSoir reported in a tweet (https://twitter.com/france_soir/status/1569746593095507971?s=12) with videos of cheering, sign-carrying admirers:

At the proceeding itself, Perronne sensed that his interrogators were going through the motions. “They were rather kind,” he said. “I think they were embarrassed with this affair.”

In an announcement (https://bonsens.info/le-professeur-perronne-remporte-lensemble-de-ses-procedures-devant-la-chambre-disciplinaire-de-premiere-instance-dile-de-france-de-lordre-des-medecins/) of Perronne’s “complete victory,” his attorney, Thomas Benages, hailed the tribunal’s finding that doctors are entitled to debate and criticize health policies.
“By these fundamental decisions, the Disciplinary Chamber has reaffirmed the freedom of expression enjoyed by university doctors,” Benages wrote, “while highlighting the preponderant role played by Professor Perronne during the health crisis by bringing contradiction to the government and having”—as the decision stated—“‘a discordant voice on a subject of general interest.’ ”
The tribunal’s finding did not specifically endorse Perronne’s views, but rather his right to speak them. I asked him what he thought of the ruling.
“You can just say that I am very happy, since the Disciplinary chamber wrote that in view of my national and international expertise, I had not only the right to give a divergent opinion from the official policy, but it was an obligation for me to speak out, if I did not agree!
This statement is fantastic.”
As his lawyer wrote, “the Disciplinary Chamber simply came to reaffirm the values of our democracy.”

Significantly, the ruling said Perronne’s statements were not “anti-vax” expressions, his lawyer wrote, eliminating a rhetorical weapon that was used “in order to censor him.”

A Familiar Story
The cost to Perronne’s reputation is all too familiar to American physicians who reject U.S. covid dictates that disallow treatments like hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and other proven generics. He, like them, sees a disease that could have been managed with available drugs and without vaccination across all age and risk groups. He believes vaccinations are causing harm.
“I’m very worried because we know that some people died a few days or a few weeks after the injection,” he said, adding that he personally knows of three deaths of young people, 17 to 20 years old. Add to that heart problems, strokes, excess non-covid deaths, possible sterility, and cancer.

“I have no scientific proof but what I can see from the U.S., different countries, and France, many oncologists are saying we never saw such a huge amount of cancer cases,” he told me. “Unfortunately, I don’t think all the statistics are reliable today, but it’s a signal.”

“I know personal cases of malignant lymphoma that developed weeks after the vaccine,” he said. “I think it’s something serious.”
I have long known Dr. Perronne as a champion of patients with long-term Lyme disease, who have prolonged symptoms that are dismissed by mainstream medicine. He endorsed my book (https://www.amazon.com/Lyme-First-Epidemic-Climate-Change/dp/1610918444) on Lyme disease in 2018. A physician without conflicts of interest—he broke ties early on after briefly working with the pharmaceutical industry—he is respected in the United States as well as in France.

“I wasn’t corrupted,” Perronne said. He has even written a second book on the government’s woeful covid management. Decidedly, THEY still haven’t understood anything! is the title.

Will the truth about covid and the vaccines come out? I asked him in our interview in Paris.
“It already came out,” he said.

“The problem is the media does not speak about that.”

France may face rolling blackouts this winter if its electrical grid comes under severe stress due to cold weather and high demand, Xavier Piechaczyk, the head of energy regulator RTE, said on Thursday.

In an interview with France Info radio, he highlighted the risks of power supply shortages in January as the country struggles to restart its nuclear reactors, which were put offline for maintenance.

France produces roughly 70% of its electricity from a nuclear fleet of 56 reactors and 22 of them are currently shut down, causing a sharp drop in power generation.

The outages have compounded the energy woes, as the EU struggles with a sharp drop in natural gas deliveries from Russia. While France is less dependent on Russian energy than other EU countries, the lack of domestic power generation that the nuclear industry normally provides is forcing the country to buy electricity from its neighbors.

The French government has prepared a contingency plan and instructed local authorities on how to handle possible power outages and how to prioritize electricity allocation.

Although officials claim that blackouts would not occur across the entire country and would only affect small segments of the grid, millions of people are at risk of being left without electricity when demand peaks to heat households.
"Any scheduled outages should not affect more than 4 million users simultaneously," the instructions released by the French government say, as quoted by Reuters.

According to the document, blackouts should not last longer than two hours and would happen during peak hours, from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.

The country's authorities have warned that this might impact some public services, saying that schools may be closed and trains canceled during the days of insufficient supplies.

France issues vouchers for firewood (https://www.rt.com/news/569049-frence-gives-firewood-vouchers/)

French residents who use logs, wood chips or pellets to heat their homes can now receive between €50 ($53) and €200 ($212) from the government to help them cope with the energy crisis.

The "exceptional energy voucher" program launched on Tuesday is designed to help lower-income families survive the winter as the price of firewood has risen by 30% this year, officials said.

Funds can be received by applying online through a government-run website. The sum depends on the family's income, the size of the household, and the type of fuel used.

The French parliament allocated €230 million this month to aid people struggling to buy firewood. At least 2.6 million households are eligible for the program, according to the Economy Ministry.

Similar vouchers were introduced last month for households using heating oil, with families eligible for aid between €100 and €200. Like many other EU member states, France has rolled out an energy-saving scheme seeking to avoid shortages and power outages during the winter season.

The energy crisis and high inflation rates in the EU have been exacerbated by the Ukraine conflict after member states imposed sweeping sanctions on Russian oil and gas exports.

Public Action and Accounts Minister Gabriel Attal said last month that the voucher program would also help to reduce profiteering from the rising cost of wood.

The French Federation of Fuels and Heating (FF3C) described the demand for pellets in August as "abnormally high" as consumers rushed to stock up for the winter. According to the FF3C, it will need to produce 2.4 million tons of wood this year, as opposed to the 1.8 million tons that were produced ahead of the previous winter.

A nationwide strike against a proposed pension reform in France is jeopardizing the country's power and fuel supply, France 24 reported on Tuesday.

Electricity supply in the country was down by 3.7 gigawatts as output dropped at two nuclear reactors and several thermal plants, the media outlet reported, citing data from power provider EDF. No disruption was reported at hydraulic power plants, but EDF posted a strike notice for Thursday.

Meanwhile, French refineries also reported trouble due to the walkouts, with TotalEnergies saying they were causing interruptions in the shipping of petrol products. However, the company rushed to assure consumers that no shortages have so far been recorded at fueling stations, and that supply levels were largely satisfactory.

A spokesman for the CGT union told Reuters there were delivery disruptions at the Donges, Normandy, Feyzin, Oudalle, and Flanders refineries, with roughly 75% of staff on strike.

The French government presented its pension reform plan earlier this month, which will raise the retirement age for most French workers from the current 62, the lowest in the EU, to 64, and increase the total number of years people must work in order to qualify for a full pension.

Polls show that the majority of the population, over 60%, oppose the reform, and French workers' unions claim the changes will punish people who started working at a young age or have been working in physically demanding jobs.

More than 1.2 million protesters marched in France on Tuesday as rail workers and refinery staff began rolling strikes and trade unions stepped up their campaign to try to stop Emmanuel Macron’s plan to raise the pension age (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/feb/06/macron-credibility-protests-pension-changes-france) to 64.

For the sixth time since the start of the year, trade unions called a nationwide day of strikes and demonstrations. Many protest rallies attracted bigger crowds than previous ones organised since mid-January, including in Marseille, one of France’s biggest cities, authorities and local media said.

“The idea is to bring France to a standstill,” said Fabrice Michaud of the railway workers’ branch of the CGT trade union.

Rail unions called for rolling, open-ended strikes, which could affect all national trains as well as international routes including the Eurostar. Bin collectors and truck drivers joined the action.

By midday, approximately 39% of workers at the state rail operator SNCF were on strike, a union source told Agence France-Presse – the highest number since the first strike against the pension changes on 19 January.

Local urban buses and subway trains in large cities were affected, as were airlines, with up to 30% of flights cancelled on Tuesday and Wednesday as air traffic controllers went on strike. About 24% of public sector workers stopped work, and many schools closed as teachers held a one-day strike. Some students, including at Rennes 2 University in Brittany, began blockading faculties on Monday night.

Refinery and energy workers also took part in strikes. The CGT union said fuel deliveries from refineries across France had been blocked from Tuesday morning, which could see petrol stations running short if the protests continue.

“The government has to take this [resistance] into account when there are so many people in the street, when the government is having so much trouble explaining and passing their reform,” Laurent Berger, the head of the moderate CFDT union, said at a Paris demonstration.

Macron’s proposals to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 and increase the number of years of work required to claim a full pension are being debated in the French senate.

Macron has been left severely undermined on the domestic front after his centrist grouping failed to win an absolute majority (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/19/macrons-centrist-grouping-to-lose-majority-in-parliament-say-projected-results) in parliamentary elections last June amid gains for the far right and radical left.

Without a majority, the government must rely on the rightwing Les Républicains to back pensions changes, but their senators and lawmakers are pressing for alterations.

Discussions are forecast to conclude by the end of March. It is expected that a committee made up of legislators from both houses of parliament will seek a potential deal on a joint version of the text, to eventually be presented for approval at the national assembly and then the senate. But tensions remain as to the level of support.

The government is determined to press on with the pensions changes, and its spokesperson said there were more important issues facing the country than the strikes, such as the cost of living crisis.

“I can understand that not many people want to work two more years, but it’s necessary to ensure the viability of the system,” the prime minister, Élisabeth Borne, told France 5 TV.

An Ifop (https://www.lejdd.fr/politique/sondage-retraites-seulement-32-des-francais-favorables-la-reforme-133285) poll for the Sunday paper Le Journal du Dimanche found that only 32% of French people supported Macron’s pension changes. An Elabe (https://www.bfmtv.com/economie/economie-social/social/reforme-des-retraites-56-des-francais-soutiennent-la-mise-en-place-d-une-greve-reconductible-a-partir-du-7-mars_AN-202303050351.html) poll found 56% of French people supported rolling strikes, and 59% backed the call to bring the country to a standstill.

Police have clashed again with protesters angry at the French government's plans to raise the country's retirement age.

Protestors lit a fire and gathered in the Place de la Concorde, near the National Assembly building in Paris where they faced a line of riot police.

Images of tear gas being used by police to deal with the crowds was broadcast by Reuters TV, while other protesters were heard chanting "Macron, resign".

Police have detained 61 people following the protests on Friday, according to French broadcaster BFMTV.

This is in addition to a further 310 people who were arrested on Thursday, 258 of those in Paris, French Interior Minister, Gerald Darmanin said.

Smaller scale protests and rallies are also taking place in Bordeaux and Toulouse.

The ongoing demonstrations follow two motions of no confidence that were tabled against the French president, one of which came from Marine Le Pen's party Rassemblement National and was signed by 88 cross-party MPs.

Another group of independent politicians put forward a second motion which was signed by 91 MPs from five parliamentary groups.

Earlier on Friday, police pepper sprayed young protesters near the Sorbonne University, while other protestors blocked traffic, bin collections stopped and students walked out of lectures.

Many are angry at Mr Macron's decision to force a bill through parliament to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 without a vote.

Mr Macron ordered Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne to use a special constitutional power known as Article 49.3 to force through the controversial reform in the National Assembly, France's lower house of parliament.

On Friday morning, Paris's peripherique - the main ring road around the capital - was disrupted at almost 200 points during peak rush hour, according to French media.

Mr Macron's risky strategy has infuriated unions, opposition politicians and many citizens.

Opposition parties were expected to start the process for a no-confidence vote in the government later on Friday, however the vote is likely to take place next week.

The controversial reform has prompted nationwide strikes since January but the increasingly chaotic political situation has sparked immense anger.

Yellow Vest demonstrators, or the Gilets Jaunes - the protest group that has brought France to a standstill at several points in recent years - are also expected to take to the streets later.

Outside the largest waste incinerator in Europe, rubbish collectors insisted they would intensify the strikes to force the government to reverse course.

The collectors had voted to continue their strike action until at least 20 March, France Info reported.

More than 9,000 tonnes of waste has not been collected in Paris since the start of the strike.

"I call, and the CGT union calls, for a massive movement and for workers to go on strike massively," said CGT union representative Régis Vieceli.

"That's the only thing that will get them to back down. We need to hit them financially. When they start seeing the financial impact, they'll go and cry on Macron's shoulder."

Emmanuel Macron felt the full force of French anger on Thursday as protesters gathered across the country to demonstrate their opposition to the pension age being raised from 62 to 64.

Unions claimed 3.5 million people turned out across the country, while the authorities suggested the figure was much lower, at just under 1.1 million.
SOTT Comment: (https://www.sott.net/article/478609-3-million-attend-Frances-9th-consecutive-day-of-protests-woman-has-hand-blown-off-by-tear-gas-grenade-Bordeaux-town-hall-set-on-fire) The authorities regularly downplay figures, despite all evidence to the contrary.
In Paris, union leaders claimed that a record 800,000 people took part in a mostly peaceful march through the city - the police gave the figure as 119,000 - to demand that the government drop the fiercely contested change.

However, the national day of action was marred by outbreaks of violence and vandalism. In the south-western city of Bordeaux, the front door of the city hall was set on fire, while in Paris police and groups of protesters clashed late into the night.

In the capital, the official demonstration, made up of a large cross-section of French society - young, old, professional, unemployed - set off from Place de la Bastille in the early afternoon and made its way to Place de l'Opéra along the Grands Boulevards, the main east-west road through the northern part of central Paris.

French union members, carrying flags and banners, were flanked by their own stewards to ensure their security. The crowd was dense and angry with the government and president, but the mood was also festive and motivated by a show of solidarity.

The atmosphere was soured by a group of young people called casseurs (smashers), dressed in black and wearing masks, who had positioned themselves at the head of the march and destroyed bus shelters, advertising hoardings, shop windows, the front of a McDonald's, and newspaper kiosks, leaving a trail of glass and piles of burning bins in their wake.

They also pulled up cast-iron grilles around trees and broke up paving stones, which they then threw at police.

The worst clashes took place in Place de l'Opéra and later at Place de la Bastille where police attempted to disperse them with teargas.

Elsewhere, a woman reportedly had part of her hand blown off by a teargas grenade in the city of Rouen, where between 14,800 and 23,000 protesters gathered, according to figures from police and unions. There were large protests in Marseille, Lyon, Besançon, Rennes and Arles, as well as other French towns and cities.

Even before the president's centrist government pushed the pension changes through parliament last Thursday using a constitutional measure that avoided a vote, record numbers of workers had taken to the streets in the previous weeks.
SOTT Comment: (https://www.sott.net/article/478609-3-million-attend-Frances-9th-consecutive-day-of-protests-woman-has-hand-blown-off-by-tear-gas-grenade-Bordeaux-town-hall-set-on-fire) As an example of how widespread and long running the discontent is, France's doctors were striking (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/23/workers-block-paris-airport-terminal-pension-protests-continue-france) on January 2nd of this year.
On Monday, Macron's administration narrowly survived a vote of no confidence - by nine votes - but the way the law was passed inflamed the public mood.

On Thursday, police had been notified of more than 200 protests across France and were gearing up for a massive turnout. Along the route in Paris, banks and businesses were boarded up early in the morning and vanloads of police and gendarmes were stationed along roads.

Many of the protesters, particularly the young, said they had been galvanised by Macron's appearance on television on Wednesday in which he said the protests were "legitimate" but would not lead to a U-turn on the law, which not only raises the official retirement age, but requires workers to make contributions to the pension system for longer.

Among the angriest were women protesters, who said the new legislation was a double punishment for those who had taken time out of their careers to raise children and who were more likely to have low-paid and menial jobs.

"Everyone is angry. Everyone thinks this law is unfair, but it particularly penalises women who are expected to produce future generations of the nation, and then find they are punished for doing so," said Marie, 46, a social worker.

Juliette, 51, a teacher, said: "They want to raise it to 64 today. Will it be 66, 67, 68 tomorrow? They tell us life expectancy is longer, but are we to work until we collapse and are carted off to the crematorium?"

Many protesters accused the president of showing "contempt and arrogance" for those opposed to the changes, which were a keystone of his re-election campaign last year.

On Thursday evening, the interior minister, Gérald Darmanin, said the majority of the 103 people arrested in Paris on Thursday were "mostly young" and were known members of "ultra left" groups. The authorities said more than 120 police officers and gendarmes had been injured. There were no figures available for the number of protesters hurt.

The prime minister, Élisabeth Borne, criticised the violence. "To demonstrate and make ones grievances heard is a right. The violence and destruction that we have seen today are unacceptable," she tweeted.

'Article R. 434-14 of the police code of ethics: "The police are at the service of the population. His relationship with her is imbued with courtesy and requires the use of formal address. » Practical case ' The radical left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon called on Macron to withdraw the law. He said he did not agree with violence, but added: "We must redouble our protests and blockades. In France there is a sense of a drift towards authoritarianism; many people are beginning to say it is going too far now."

Widespread strikes and industrial action led to major transport disruption on the roads and flights cancellations. Airport authorities said the protests would have a knock-on effect on the weekend's flights, with up to 30% of those scheduled to depart from Orly, south of Paris, cancelled on Friday and Saturday, along with up to 20% of departures from Marseille, Bordeaux and Lyon. Protesters blocked terminal 1 at Charles de Gaulle airport north of Paris on Thursday morning.

Schools were closed and colleges were blocked around France, including in Paris, Rouen, Marseille and Toulouse. Protesters blocked the entry to a petrol depot in the Bouches-du-Rhône.

In his 30-minute televised interview on Wednesday, Macron ruled out the dissolution of parliament, a reshuffle of his centrist government and the resignation of his prime minister, Élisabeth Borne, as the opposition has demanded. He said his only regret was "that I have not succeeded in convincing people of the necessity of this reform".

Valérie Rabault, the president of the Socialist party group in the national assembly, called on Macron to order a final debate in parliament before the pensions law is enacted.

"We're putting all the options on the table. We have entered a very serious democratic crisis less than a year since the president of the republic was elected," she said, adding that the "blockades damage our democracy and damage France's image abroad".

Marie Buisson, of the CGT union, told France Info radio that the protesters were "determined". "Since the [law] was passed by force, there is anger," she said. "Our objective is for the maximum number of people to stop work."

I similar, but more surreptitious, thing was done in the USA about 20 or so years ago. Congress hid a piece of legislation in an appropriations bill that increased the social security full benefits retirement age from 65 to at least 66 and to as much as age 70 depending on what year you were born.

As the baby boomers began to retire they learned of this slight of hand maneuver. No protests here. Yet, at least.

Remember: What governments give, governments can (and eventually will) take away.

France 🇫🇷 Is Furious: Anger Grows at Macron for Raising Retirement Age as Millions Strike & Protest

zypaLynj8kc
French 🇫🇷 unions say nearly 3.5 million people took to the streets Thursday in a nationwide general strike to protest President Emmanuel Macron's deeply unpopular move to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. Macron forced the legislation through the French National Assembly last week, using a constitutional clause to bypass a parliamentary vote. Macron's government survived a vote of no confidence Monday by just nine votes, but public anger shows no signs of abating, with France's major trade unions planning another nationwide protest for Tuesday. "Not only is the government trying to do this pension reform that people see as fundamentally unfair, but they're ignoring historically large protests even by French standards," says journalist Cole Stranger from Marseille. His new guest essay in The New York Times is headlined "France Is Furious."


MILLIONS Protest Macron Across France!

1Ttciob8dzo
Ever since President Emanuel Macron pushed through Parliament a raise in the retirement age from 62 to 64, the French 🇫🇷 public have been pouring into the streets with millions of protesters demanding the new law be revoked. Even firefighters and some police have joined in the protests — although many cops have continued to serve as the agents of state violence and cracked down on protesters.

Not sure about that. If the building they were in was on fire it would be a priority to put it out so they could continue their meal with friends and family. Fires outside don't get in the way

[Brigantia]

The "police joined the protesters" vid is not the case; see Bill's post on this on the Ça chauffe! (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?88469---a-Chauffe-&p=1549129&viewfull=1#post1549129) thread. From what I know of Parisian police I would have thought that highly unlikely.

[wegge]

police marching in front and at the back of a protest is standard procedure and zero sign of them joining or supporting them, that's just standard procedure to guide a protest (and shield it from anti-protests)

Why is my 2023 P.A. Forum thread called: "French People Are Furious 3.5 Million Protesters Rise!" moved to old 2016 thread?

[Bill Ryan]

Why is my 2023 P.A. Forum thread called: "French People Are Furious 3.5 Million Protesters Rise!" moved to old 2016 thread?Because this thread is all about ongoing protests in France, and many of the most recent posts have already been all about the current extreme crisis which could well bring down Macron and his government. A new thread wasn't necessary... it's all here already. :thumbsup:

:focus:

Edit to add: a very kind and astute member pointed out to me just now that quite a few folks might not have known that Ça Chauffe is French for Things Are Heating Up.

I don't think even Hervé, back in 2016, would have guessed that events in France, where he lives, would have become so extreme over 6 years later with no end in sight.

So I amended the thread title, to help this very valuable thread (which is quite some historical record, too) be a little more available to a wider audience. I also moved it to the Earth's Populations in Turmoil (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/forumdisplay.php?184-Earth-s-Populations-in-Turmoil) section, with a permanent redirect.

I was in the south of France, there were a lot of people, even more than last week and it starts again on Tuesday 👺 Especially since there is money in the pension funds and political actions are only to protect their capitalist interests.

What you need to know, there were a lot of young people in the last demonstration, anger is brewing in France 🤬

Just wondering, is this Macron's way of getting out before everything gets even worse, ie being 'forced to resign', but doing the dirty work for the WEF before he goes to his next well-heeled post (I note the controversial bill re retirement is only delayed, not cancelled)?

French woman faces trial, €12,000 fine for 'insulting' Macron on Facebook

A woman in northern France is to be put on trial on charges of insulting President Emmanuel Macron after describing him as 'filth' in a Facebook post, a prosecutor said on Wednesday. The woman risks a fine of 12,000 euros but not prison if convicted at the trial due to be held in June.

She was arrested on Friday and held in custody for questioning after the state's local administrative office filed a complaint over her Facebook post, the prosecutor in the northern town of Saint Omer, Mehdi Benbouzid, told AFP.
The complaint focused on a post on her Facebook page made on March 21, the day before Macron gave a lunchtime interview to TF1 television to defend his controversial pension reforms that have sparked nationwide protests.
"This piece of filth is going to address you at 1:00 pm... it's always on television that we see this filth," she wrote.
The woman, in her 50s, had been a supporter of the 2018-2019 "Yellow Vest" protests that shook Macron during his first mandate.
She stands accused of "insulting the president of the republic" and will stand trial on June 20 in Saint Omer, the prosecutor said.
"They want to make an example of me," the woman told La Voix du Nord regional newspaper which first reported the accusations.
The woman, named by the paper as Valerie, said she was astonished when she answered the knock on the door on Friday morning to find police had come to arrest her.
"I asked them if it was a joke, I had never been arrested," she said. "I am not public enemy number one."
The months-long protest movement against the pension reform has sent social tensions spiralling in France and Macron and his government refuse to give way.
New clashes between police and protesters erupted Tuesday and unions have announced a new day of strikes and protests on April 6.

..all very well and spectacular to watch, but..

As a (for the greater part of my professional life self-employed) Belgian I retired at 67, because that was anyhow the age that pension age expectancies were converging towards – the Belgians retiring at approximately the same age as the Dutch. I cannot help but finding the French protests against a pension age of 65 obscene (as do the majority of the Belgians) – by itself, but also given the present circumstances. Neither the vaccination tyranny (with especially the fact that the only physicians who are unvaccinated in France are those who retired prior to the enforcement) nor the involvement of France in the annihilation of Libya, and now of Ukraine have ever mobilised that many people.

This is in itself a clear indication of why the “masses” do not rise and break the neck of the Transhumanisers.

#SOSfromFrance (Fr 🇫🇷) 500 jours sans avoir le droit de travailler. Dr Grégory Pamart

cjKemKunRF8
Hello, I am Dr Grégory Pamart,

33 years old, married and a father.

For 1 year, 4 months and 13 days, I no longer have the right to practice my profession as a general practitioner in my country, France 🇫🇷.

500 days ago, I was forced to abandon my patients.

To leave them alone and unresolved.

500 days ago, the government threw out doctors, nurses, caregivers, firefighters, health personnel, who refused the anti-covid injection.

We have lost the job we love.

The government has invented a new status: we are the "suspended" without wages, without compensation, without any help.

For 500 days, we have given up our security, our comfort, some are begging, families are abandoning their homes, people are leaving their country.

Our only crime is to have been careful. To have refused a new treatment.

We refused that anyone, even our government, could dispose of our body.

We have refused that medicine, tomorrow, can commit the crime of forcing people.

For months, hundreds of thousands of protesters have stood up... ignored, mocked by the media, discredited in public opinion.

This summer, France 🇫🇷 in the midst of a fire called for help from firefighters from all over Europe… But 5,000 suspended firefighters remained at home… Without being able to help.

Many patients no longer have a doctor. They give up seeking treatment or go to the emergency room. But the doctors still cannot cure.

Emergency services are closing one after another. Wait times are so long that patients are dying on stretchers before being seen.

But the unvaccinated still cannot return to their posts. That is the reality in France 🇫🇷. In this country which boasted of having "the best health system in the world".

Today, the whole world admits that vaccination does not prevent the transmission of the virus, the scientific argument no longer holds.

All countries have removed the requirement. But no... Not all of them! France is the last country to retain the vaccination obligation for health professions.

This "French exception", we owe it to President Macron who announced: "I really want to annoy the non-vaccinated. And so, we will continue to do so, until the end. That's the strategy.

He makes it personal, serves the pharmaceutical industry, against his own people! The government turns a blind eye to the situation.

Worse, recently he has been filibustering to prevent parliament from repealing this unjust law. 500 days already, 500 days…

Will I be able to practice as a doctor again in my country? I don't know. In fact, I am afraid of what medicine is becoming.

I'm afraid of what my country is becoming. "Suspended status" allows the state to socially obliterate anyone for their ideas. Caregivers today, tomorrow? Recalcitrant teachers? The police men ? The judges ?

It is for this reason that I am addressing you. The government is locking down our ability to act. If we want the cause to be heard, we must go beyond the borders of our country.

Inform and massively arouse international public opinion. The world must say to Macron and his government: "You cannot trample your democracy.

Those who give their lives to care for others deserve better than that. The health and freedom of the French deserve better than that. France 🇫🇷 cannot become a totalitarian state.

The country of human rights deserves better than that. This is a call for help. We need international public opinion to understand and know what is happening in France 🇫🇷. The state of our health. The state of our policy.


This is an SOS

Spread this call throughout the world. In your language. Relay to your friends, your family, your acquaintances. Relay in social networks. Relay to your media. We need public opinion to stand with us. France claims to have guided the world.

Today, to the world to support France.

THANKS.

I understand what you're saying Michel, but I can't help envying the French. My retirement age will be 67, I'm still working and I feel worn out.

When I started working, the retirement age for women in the UK was 60, and 65 for men. Then that was considered discriminatory for men, so it was raised to 65 for all. Then it was raised to 66, then 67, which is now the age when I can claim state pension. They're now touting a raise to 68, but thankfully that won't affect me.

I've been working for 40 years (45 if you count after school hours jobs). I can't get jobs at the level that I used to work at as interviewers seem to think that people over 50 know nothing about computers. I'm worn out and fed up of the sh** jobs and employer attitudes that exist in this country and I'm considering going into manual work that will keep me fit, but is well below my level of education. The government is asking older people to go back to work, but employers don't want them!

All we do in Britain is moan about these changes, so kudos to the French for fighting against it.

French 🇫🇷 Protests Escalate – Macron Ready To Back Down!

VLbFFMa9h7s
The French 🇫🇷 protests over President Macron’s bill to raise the national retirement age from 62 to 64 show no signs of abating, and even appear to be growing in Paris and elsewhere. Meanwhile Macron has indicated that he may be open to compromise, but that hasn’t stopped the French from pouring out into the streets, setting fires and generally making their displeasure with Macron’s bill known. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the remarkable size and scope of what’s happening in France.

Call that obscene or whatever but I am surprised that after living so many years in France that you have not understood how deeply entrenched is the scamming ( l'arnaque) in the country. Many French know very well that they are being scammed and sold to the globalists Black RocK, all the way advised by Mc Kinsey. Macron has not stopped to sell out the country and noboby wants the pension funds to fall in globalists hands.
Human bodies are said to be able to live 110 years so yes there is a problem as long as the wealth and liberating technologies are being stolen. We must all walk out of this corrupt system .

[Ewan]

In defence of Michel Leclerc, and he is free to correct me, I think he was decrying the impetus for protests. Pointing out that worse things have been done with barely a murmur of protest. It was only the threat to self that aroused the passion.

Which, if I am correct, rather suggests that we, as collective humanity, don't truly see that which threatens us the most. We are all programmed to follow the rules until it becomes unbearably personal. (selfish).

Rather sad.

France faces another wave of widespread protests and strikes following an unproductive discussion between the prime minister and labor unions. The failure to reach a compromise on the unpopular pension reform, which extends the working years for individuals, has fueled two-and-a-half months of public discontent (https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/france-burns-million-protesters-rage-against-pension-reforms).

Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to protest on Thursday against Emmanuel Macron's pension reform to raise the minimum age from 62 to 64.

Trade union leaders met the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, on Wednesday, but after just an hour of talks -- they failed to find a comprise. The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/apr/06/french-unions-to-hold-day-of-strikes-after-talks-with-prime-minister-fail) provides insight into some of those conversations:
Cyril Chabanier, speaking on behalf of France's eight main unions, said: "We again told the prime minister that the only democratic outcome would be the text's withdrawal. The prime minister replied that she wished to maintain the text, a serious decision."
Sophie Binet, the new leader of the CGT trade union, called for more protests and strikes after the failed talks with the prime minister:
"We have to continue mobilizing until the end, until the government understands there is no way out other than withdrawing this reform," Binet said.
Labor unions plan to keep pressure on the government until the Constitutional Council decides on the pension reform. They believe there's still a chance to block it from becoming law on April 14. If unions are unsuccessful, strikes will likely continue.
"We're in a social crisis, we have a democratic crisis, there is a problem, and the president has the solution in his hands," Laurent Berger, leader of the CFDT union, said on RTL radio.
Bloomberg cited a recent poll that shows most French people oppose pension reform.

BlackRock’s Paris Headquarters Infiltrated by Protestors

French protestors briefly infiltrated BlackRock’s Paris headquarters. A few dozen trade unionists invaded the U.S. based investment firm‘s offices, raising their voices against President Emmanuel Macron’s pension changes. The French government plans to increase the retirement age from 62 to 64. The rioters were chanting slogans and lighting fireworks inside the premises.

The infiltration of the $10-trillion asset manager took place on the 11th day of nationwide union-organized protests. Furthermore, protestors were chanting the movement’s slogan, “On est la,” which translates to “We are here.”

In other European countries, private pension funds partially finance pension plans. In France, on the other hand, people who are still working, fund the pensions of those in retirement. However, according to the government, the pension system needs to be reformed to remain functional. The Constitutional Council is anticipated to make a decision sometime this month. However, the opposition is expecting that it will severely restrict his idea.

During a week-long sanitation workers’ strike, mountains of trash weighing up to 10,000 tons piled up on the streets of Paris. The employees oppose raising the retirement age from 57 to 59. Because their work is physically more demanding, sanitation workers have a lower retirement age.

Why was BlackRock’s Paris office targeted?

According to Françoise Onic, BlackRock was a focus of the protesters due to its involvement with private pension funds. Moreover, Onic stated that “only the rich will be able to benefit from such a setup,” referring to the new pension plans.

BlackRock is the largest investment manager in the world. The firm handles nearly $10 trillion worth of assets, which is more than the GDP of many countries.

Moreover, this is not the first time protestors have invaded BlackRock’s offices in Paris. In January 2020, climate activists infiltrated the premises to force the firm to pull out of fossil fuel investments.

French 🇫🇷 Protesters STORM BlackRock’s Paris Headquarters!

xqki_HI1ZRY
For weeks now French protesters have been out in the streets, challenging President Emanuel Macron and demanding that he rescind the law raising the French retirement age from 62 to 64. More recently protesters stormed the Paris headquarters of 10 trillion-dollar asset management corporation BlackRock -- apparently in an effort to hit at the source of Macron's neoliberal policies. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether the French are better than Americans at assessing where their true enemies lie.

Hundreds of protesters entered the Euronext stock exchange in Paris on Thursday, burning flares and chanting anti-government slogans. The brief occupation of the building is the latest in a series of continuous demonstrations since President Emamnuel Macron hiked the retirement age.

Waving trade union flags, roughly 200-300 protesters stormed the lobby of the exchange, their flares filling the building with red smoke and setting off alarms. "We are here, we are here, even if Macron does not want it we are here," they chanted, as a small contingent of riot police waited outside.

According to the flags and banners they carried, many of the protesters were rail workers, whose unions earlier called for "expressions of anger" outside railway stations on Thursday.

The disruption at Euronext came less than a week after Macron signed a bill raising the retirement age for most French workers from 62 to 64. The bill was tremendously unpopular, and Macron's decision to invoke special constitutional powers last month to pass it without a parliamentary vote triggered violent protests across the country.

The president has refused to reconsider the bill, arguing that raising the retirement age is "necessary" to keep France's social security system afloat.

The unions disagree, arguing that the system could be propped up by corporate tax hikes. "We are told that there is no money to finance pensions," one trade unionist told Sky News on Thursday, adding that there is "no need to get the money from the pockets of workers, there is some in the pockets of billionaires."

France's trade unions have vowed to continue organizing strikes and demonstrations, calling for mass turnout on May 1, a traditional day of left-wing marches and rallies. Macron's political opponents on both the left and right have promised to keep up their opposition too, with right-wing National Rally leader Marine Le Pen calling the bill "the final break between Macron and the French people," and veteran left-winger Jean-Luc Melenchon accusing Macron of imposing a "presidential monarchy" on France.

French police in the village of Ganges confiscated saucepans and other metallic cookware from protesters on Thursday after hurriedly adopting a regulation banning "portable sound devices" ahead of a visit from President Emmanuel Macron.


The French leader is currently touring the nation to defend his unpopular pension reforms.

Video posted to social media shows police officers opening backpacks and ordering protesters to ditch their cookware. When one complains such restrictions are illegal, the officer retrieves a piece of paper from his car, presumably bearing the brand-new edict forbidding "entertainment devices." Demonstrators were also reportedly forbidden from bringing small flutes anywhere near the school where Macron was to speak.

The Herault prefecture rushed to impose the ban on "any sound device that is portable or emanating from a vehicle that has not been duly authorized" within the security perimeter of the areas to be visited by Macron just hours before his visit on Thursday, hoping to protect the head of state from the chorus of metallic banging he faced during his first event in Alsace.

While authorities insisted the snap edict was a "common police measure" meant to target amplifiers and speakers, experts questioned the legality of confiscating pots and pans, noting that the hastily adopted decree banned the use of the devices, not their possession.

Macron's political opponents seized on the pan ban's overreach. "Is it possible to get out of a democratic crisis by banning saucepans?" Green Party MP Sandrine Rousseau asked. Communist Party spokesman Ian Brossat said he was "impatiently awaiting the bill which will prohibit the sale of saucepans."

Asked whether he would face the demonstrators, Macron responded that he would do so only "if people are ready to talk."

"Where I'm from, eggs and pans, these are for cooking," the president quipped.

Macron later attempted to further marginalize the protesters, declaring, "it is not saucepans that will move France forward."
"The person who is preventing France from moving forward is [Macron]," Chloe Bourguignon, the secretary general of regional union UNSA Grand-Est, told FranceInfo.

"It shows great contempt to say such a thing, particularly after all the messages of provocation that he has sent in the last few weeks."
After the pension reform package became law this week, Macron ordered his government to "restore peace" over the next 100 days, vowing not to back down on raising the retirement age by two years even though the legislation is opposed by more than two-thirds of the French population.

Police Attack the French on International Workers' Day

On Monday, the French police harshly repressed the protests that thousands of people carried out in cities such as Paris, Lyon, Nantes, Toulouse or Besancon.

In Paris, where citizens began to march from the Republic Square towards the Nation Square, police brutality sparked a strong reaction among the people, who smashed shop windows and banking establishments as well as set fire to containers and other street furniture.

The agents fired tear gas at the protesters, 30 of whom were arrested, according to data from the Police Prefecture, cut off at 3:00 p.m. local time.

In Nantes, the farmers accompanied with their tractors the march called by the General Confederation of Labor (CGT). People set fire to litter bins in front of the prefecture, where there were also strong clashes with the police.

In this French city, a citizen lost his hand as a result of the repression, as reported by the television channel France 3.

France 3.


The tweet reads, "The wave of police violence continues in Paris. The France confiscated by Macron still offers the world the pitiful spectacle of a Police State adrift."

“Never has the 1st of May mobilized as many people as today. Unity between unions has never lasted so long. We will not separate from each other. We will continue to the end,” a French worker said, as reported by the newspaper Le Progres.

This local outlet also mentioned that citizens took over the esplanade of the Saint-Etienne town hall, where they lit a bonfire to reject the increase in the retirement age to 64 years.

In Lyon, windows of commercial establishments were broken and a luxury car was set on fire, according to France Info. In Besancon, the security forces arrested about 20 demonstrators who were taking part in a rally outside the route of the workers' march.

Previously, the Interior Ministry mobilized 5,000 police officers to Paris and 7,000 to other cities to contain the protests. The secret services had calculated that at least 650,000 people were ready to participate in some 300 marches across the country.

This is a good analysis from The Duran about Macron's future in the light of the chaos in France and the downgrading of France's credit rating from AAA to AA-. They discuss his personality and leadership (or lack thereof) and whether he might step down; I doubt that he will, he appears to be a narcissist of the highest order and convinced of his own brilliance.

PS to add - in any case, I think that the power behind the throne is Brigitte Macron - or to use a French expression, the éminence grise.

The Insubmissive Left to Try to Censor the French Government

On Wednesday, Mathilde Panot, the president of the parliamentary caucus of the leftist party The Insubmissive France (LFI), will present a new motion of no confidence against the government headed by President Emmanuel Macron.

This decision arose as a result of the right-wing, pro-government legislators refusing to vote in the plenary session on any amendment aimed at repealing the pension reform that has generated protests for months.

"We are going to present a motion of censure," Panot said and denounced an "unacceptable coup d'état" carried out by Macron and his parliamentary bloc.

"Macronism has raised the level of anti-democratic practices," she pointed out, adding that Assembly President Yael Braun-Pivet cannot continue in office because she has decided to follow Macron's orders instead of guaranteeing the separation of powers.

The tweet reads, "President, you are on probation. Six years of Macron means 10 million poor people, a food crisis and even emergency services that are closing down. Sooner or later you, your government, and your pension reform will fall. The French people promise you that."

Previously, Braun-Pivet said she would block any attempt by the opposition to vote on pension reform amendments aimed at repealing the increase in the minimum retirement age to 64.

"Whatever happens on Thursday, there will not be a repeal of the pension reform," she said, adding that the Constitution prohibits approving measures that increase public spending without establishing adequate compensation.

This position was also echoed by the government spokesman Olivier Veran, who said that the Macron administration is not going to "break the Constitution to please the opposition."

To justify her refusal to parliamentary discussion, Braun-Pivet also argued that the National Assembly was unable to vote on the pension reform in February because the left-wing opposition submitted tens of thousands of amendments to obstruct parliamentary debate.

Anger as pre-historic stones destroyed for French DIY store

RENNES, France (AFP) — Around 40 standing stones thought to have been erected by prehistoric humans 7,000 years ago have been destroyed near a famed archaeological site in northwest France to make way for a DIY store, an angry local historian has revealed.

The stones in Carnac were between 50-100 centimeters (20-40 inches) high and stood close to the main highly protected areas of one of Europe’s largest and most mysterious pre-historic tourist attractions.

“The site has been destroyed,” local archaeologist Christian Obeltz told AFP on Wednesday, having revealed the clearance of the land in the Ouest-France newspaper.

He believes 39 standing stones — known as menhirs — have been lost, estimating their age to be around 7,000 years based on carbon dating conducted on stones nearby in 2010.

The land was granted a building permit from the local mayor’s office in August last year and DIY chain Mr. Bricolage is currently building a new store there.

Mayor Olivier Lepick told AFP that he had “followed the law” and pointed to the “low archaeological value” of objects found during checks before the construction process began.

The land was not situated in a protected area and had been earmarked for commercial use, he added.

Carnac is famed for its vast fields of stone megaliths which stand in long lines close to the Atlantic coast in the windswept Brittany region.

There are around 3,000 of them on the two main protected areas which extend over more than six kilometers (four miles).

The stones are thought to have had a sacred and funereal function, although various theories exist.

The Regional Office of Cultural Affairs (Drac) for Brittany, which is responsible for ensuring the law protecting cultural monuments is respected, played down the importance of the losses.

“Given the uncertain and in any case non-major character of the remains, as revealed by checks, damage to a site of archaeological value has not been established,” it said in a statement on Wednesday.

But local archaeologist Obeltz believes local authorities failed to properly investigate.

“There weren’t archaeological excavations in order to know if the stones were menhirs or not,” he said.

“We’re witnessing a series of failings. The state no longer protects our fellow citizens or our heritage. Appalling,” far-right leader Marine Le Pen said on Twitter.

When contacted, the Mr. Bricolage group said it “sincerely regretted the situation” but pointed to authorizations for its store granted last year.

Paris: Outrage and protests after French-Algerian teen shot dead by police

There has been outrage over the killing of a 17-year-old French-Algerian by French police, provoking condemnation by prominent celebrities like Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe and actor Omar Sy.

The youth, named as Nael M, was driving in the Paris suburb of Nanterre on Tuesday morning, when police pulled him over for road misconduct.

Footage online shows an officer shooting the teenager at point-blank range while he was in the car, causing the vehicle to crash into a post.

Despite aid from emergency services, Nael M died shortly after as a result of bullet wounds in his chest.

Police initially said that one officer shot at the teenager because he was driving his car at him, but the footage appears to show the two policemen standing by the side of a stationary car.

One police officer points a weapon at the driver, while a voice can be heard saying "You are going to get a bullet in the head".

Under several hashtags, including #JusticeForNael, online users expressed anger over the youth's shooting.

“As a mother from Nanterre, I have a feeling of insecurity for our children,” said Mornia Labssi, a local resident and an anti-racism campaigner, who said the victim’s family was of Algerian descent.

"They would never have fired if he wasn't Muslim," one Twitter user wrote.

Some users speculated that the killing was a result of police racial animosity, with one writing: "Film the police. Always. Everywhere. Especially when they approach blacks or arabs #Nanterre"

Translation: 17-year-old driver killed in Nanterre. This morning I think of the parents of #Nael . This story sticks with me because it gives reason to what I often hear in the office: "doctor, it's my face that they don't like"

Translation: Did the policeman think of his parents? The only solution was to shoot him at close range? Does a refusal to comply deserve a bullet in the heart? Have you restored the death penalty in France?

The mother of the teenager posted a video on TikTok calling for a tribute march for her son on Thursday. “This is a revolt for my son,” she said.

On Twitter, the football star Mbappe described the incident as an "unacceptable situation," adding that "all my thoughts go out to Naël's family and loved ones, this little angel who left far too soon".

Lupin star Omar Sy also expressed his "thoughts and prayers" to the family of Nael M. "May justice worthy of the name honor the memory of this child," he wrote.

Anger also spilled into the streets of France, with people protesting in Nanterre on Tuesday night. Around 31 protesters were arrested after cars, bus stops and bins were set alight. People also set off fireworks around nearby police stations and a town hall was firebombed.

Riot police dispersed protestors, and used barricades and tear gas.

The towns of Asnieres, Colombes, Suresnes, Aubervilliers, Clichy-sous-Bois and Mantes-la-Jolie joined in to protest the shooting.

Two other people had also been in the vehicle at the time of the incident. One fled the scene while the other - a minor - was arrested and held by police.

The 38-year-old police officer accused of shooting Nael M has since been detained on homicide charges.

Paris police chief Laurent Nunez told the French channel BFMTV that the policeman's action "raises questions", suggesting, however, that he may have felt threatened.

Nael M’s family lawyer, Yassine Bouzrou, said that the video “clearly showed a policeman killing a young man in cold blood", adding that the family had filed a complaint against the officers for "lying", after claims that the car had attempted to ram into the officers

Another of the 17-year-old’s family lawyers, Jennifer Cambla, described the death as an "execution".

The teenager is the second killing this year to have been caused by the police over traffic violations.

In early June, a 19-year-old driver was shot dead in the French town of Angouleme. In 2022, 13 people were killed in a similar way.

Violent protests continue after police killing of French-Algerian teen

Violent protests broke out across France in the early hours of Thursday, in a second night of unrest over the police killing of a French-Algerian teenager.

Cars were set ablaze and fireworks were shot towards police officers in the Paris suburb of Nanterre, where Nael M, 17, was shot dead on Tuesday morning.

There were confrontations between police and protesters in other French cities, including Toulouse, Lille, Dijon and Amiens.

Overnight police arrested 150 people, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said.

"A night of unbearable violence against symbols of the Republic: town halls, schools and police stations set on fire or attacked," he tweeted.

"Support for the police, gendarmes and firefighters who face up with courage. Shame on those who did not call for calm."

President Emmanuel Macron held an early morning crisis meeting with his ministers, where he called the violent unrest "unjustifiable".

"The last few hours have been marked by scenes of violence against police stations, but also schools and town halls... against institutions and the Republic," Macron told ministers on Thursday. "These [attacks] are absolutely unjustifiable".

A day earlier, he described the fatal shooting as "inexcusable".

'Revolt for my son'

Nael M was driving in Nanterre on Tuesday morning when police pulled him over for road misconduct.

Footage online shows an officer shooting the teenager at point-blank range while he was in the car, causing the vehicle to crash into a post. He died shortly afterwards from bullet wounds to the chest.

Police initially said that one officer shot at the teenager because he was driving his car at him, but the footage appears to show the two police officers standing by the side of a stationary car.

One police officer points a weapon at the driver, while a voice can be heard saying "You are going to get a bullet in the head".

The 38-year-old police officer accused of shooting Nael M has been detained on homicide charges.

The mother of the teenager posted a video on TikTok calling for a tribute march for her son on Thursday. “This is a revolt for my son,” she said.

Several French users took to social media to denounce the police shooting, including French footballer Kylian Mbappe and actor Omar Sy.

The killing was the third fatal shooting during a traffic stop in 2023. There were 13 such killings last year.

The majority of victims of such killings since 2017 are of Arab or Black origin, according to tally compiled by Reuters.

France mobilizes 40,000 police officers as riots spread

The French Interior Ministry said on Thursday that it is mobilizing 40,000 police officers to deal with riots that have spread across France.

The unrest follows the shooting of a teenager of North African descent in Paris on Tuesday.

"The state must be firm in its response, tonight 40,000 policemen will be mobilized, including 5,000 in the Paris region, versus 9,000 yesterday," Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said.

The officers will also be deployed to towns and cities across France where riots spread on Wednesday night.

Paris: Outrage and protests after French-Algerian teen shot dead by police


Footage online shows an officer shooting the teenager at point-blank range while he was in the car, causing the vehicle to crash into a post.




Police initially said that one officer shot at the teenager because he was driving his car at him, but the footage appears to show the two policemen standing by the side of a stationary car.



Two sentences above you, (the media report), just told me the vehicle crashed into a post, now he was in a stationary car? So after being shot in the head he released the clutch and used the accelerator in an exercise that requires a degree of timing in order to prevent stalling the engine?




"They would never have fired if he wasn't Muslim," one Twitter user wrote.

This isn't news, it is conjecture - but it sure influences a reader!




The killing was the third fatal shooting during a traffic stop in 2023. There were 13 such killings last year.

The majority of victims of such killings since 2017 are of Arab or Black origin, according to tally compiled by Reuters.

Figures? Were 7 non-French killed and six French? That's a majority right there but the way it is presented, the reader is pushed to conclude that it is targetting.

Please tell me that I am not the only person that notices this style of 'reporting'.

Makes me think of a political football, an agenda. Such as becomes very apparent if you watch the documentary posted here (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?119339-Turmoil-in-the-UK&p=1560751&viewfull=1#post1560751).

French Police Attack Rallies in Memory of Nahel in Nanterre

On Thursday, thousands of French people took to the streets of Nanterre to protest the death of 17-year-old teenager Nahel, who was killed by a police officer who shot him in the chest during a traffic check.

The Prosecutor's Office formally charged the policeman with voluntary manslaughter and he is currently under provisional detention. Meanwhile, in this Paris suburb, the streets woke up littered with anti-police graffiti and the remains of cars on fire.

During the last two nights, the situation in Nanterre has been very tense as hundreds of young people kept protesting and launched fireworks against the police and public buildings.

Although the memorial march started peacefully, anti-riot officers used tear gas to disperse the crowd as people approached the Prefecture. Then they violently confronted the citizens.

The tweet reads, "In the city of Nanterre, where a peaceful march was organized to pay tribute to Nahel, who was killed by a policeman during a traffic control, the situation has become quite tense. The police are lashing out."

Interior Ministry spokesperson Camille Chaize acknowledged that the march had started peacefully; however, she justified the actions of the police by stating that the protesters had set fire to several vehicles and urban furniture such as containers.

During the march, which was organized by Nahel's mother, who carried a banner with the slogan "Police Kills," thousands of people chanted phrases such as "Killer Police" and demanded the resignation of Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin.

Politicians from the La France Insoumise (LFI) party, such as Raquel Garrido, Clementine Autain, Alexis Corbiere, and Manon Aubry, were present at the march. The presence of Fabien Roussel, the secretary of the French Communist Party (PCF), was also notable.

The tweet reads, "Scandal: The police guard the Nahel white march. When the procession arrived in front of the Nanterre Prefecture, near the place where Nahel died, the police massively launched tear gas against the white march."

During the initial investigations, the police officer who killed Nahel claimed that he had used his weapon because he believed that the teenager posed a threat to him and his partner.

However, videos recorded by witnesses showed that even a potential escape of the vehicle would not have endangered the police officers. In fact, the videos demonstrate that the officer made threats and racist insults before shooting the young man.

In the last 24 hours, over 180 people have been arrested during riots accompanied by the burning of schools, police stations, courthouses, and vehicles. In an attempt to contain the situation, the Interior Ministry has decided to deploy 40,000 agents to the streets.

Paris: Outrage and protests after French-Algerian teen shot dead by police

There has been outrage over the killing of a 17-year-old French-Algerian by French police, provoking condemnation by prominent celebrities like Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe and actor Omar Sy.

The youth, named as Nael M, was driving in the Paris suburb of Nanterre on Tuesday morning, when police pulled him over for road misconduct.

Footage online shows an officer shooting the teenager at point-blank range while he was in the car, causing the vehicle to crash into a post.

Despite aid from emergency services, Nael M died shortly after as a result of bullet wounds in his chest.

Police initially said that one officer shot at the teenager because he was driving his car at him, but the footage appears to show the two policemen standing by the side of a stationary car.

One police officer points a weapon at the driver, while a voice can be heard saying "You are going to get a bullet in the head".

Under several hashtags, including #JusticeForNael, online users expressed anger over the youth's shooting.

“As a mother from Nanterre, I have a feeling of insecurity for our children,” said Mornia Labssi, a local resident and an anti-racism campaigner, who said the victim’s family was of Algerian descent.

"They would never have fired if he wasn't Muslim," one Twitter user wrote.

Some users speculated that the killing was a result of police racial animosity, with one writing: "Film the police. Always. Everywhere. Especially when they approach blacks or arabs #Nanterre"

Translation: 17-year-old driver killed in Nanterre. This morning I think of the parents of #Nael . This story sticks with me because it gives reason to what I often hear in the office: "doctor, it's my face that they don't like"

Translation: Did the policeman think of his parents? The only solution was to shoot him at close range? Does a refusal to comply deserve a bullet in the heart? Have you restored the death penalty in France?

The mother of the teenager posted a video on TikTok calling for a tribute march for her son on Thursday. “This is a revolt for my son,” she said.

On Twitter, the football star Mbappe described the incident as an "unacceptable situation," adding that "all my thoughts go out to Naël's family and loved ones, this little angel who left far too soon".

Lupin star Omar Sy also expressed his "thoughts and prayers" to the family of Nael M. "May justice worthy of the name honor the memory of this child," he wrote.

Anger also spilled into the streets of France, with people protesting in Nanterre on Tuesday night. Around 31 protesters were arrested after cars, bus stops and bins were set alight. People also set off fireworks around nearby police stations and a town hall was firebombed.

Riot police dispersed protestors, and used barricades and tear gas.

The towns of Asnieres, Colombes, Suresnes, Aubervilliers, Clichy-sous-Bois and Mantes-la-Jolie joined in to protest the shooting.

Two other people had also been in the vehicle at the time of the incident. One fled the scene while the other - a minor - was arrested and held by police.

The 38-year-old police officer accused of shooting Nael M has since been detained on homicide charges.

When the ambulance driver arrived at the hospital with the boy (who had already died) he lost his composure and shouted at policemen who happened to stand near the emergency entry : “For 16 years his mother has raised him alone and now you have shot him for a traffic offence!”

Yes, Ewan. This morning I read Le Monde’s reporting on the killing of the boy. It was serious and complete (enough). At least for tragedies as these they are still able to report correctly. On other things, such as the whole Nato-Russia conflict of course not.

But now we are in the aftermath. Murdering a traffic offender is unjustifiable, every sane human, or rather every real human, will agree. And maybe quite a number of people will think that violent riots because of this murder and a lot more, or even only because of this murder, are “unjustifiable”. How inadequate these words are! And how impossible to compare both “unjustifiables”!

In 2017 “operational guidelines” for the police in France (and elsewhere I am sure) changed so that muscular interventions could be more easily carried out. Slowly but certainly the public, or the audience, or the people, or the nation.. will also change their “operational guidelines”, for instance by using their cell-phones as standard decentralised reporting tools for the alternative networks. Correlative changes that are unfortunate but necessary.

... French Police Say "We're At War With Vermin" As Nationwide Riots Spread Like Cancer (https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/french-police-say-were-war-vermin-nationwide-riots-spread-cancer)

by Tyler Durden

Saturday, Jul 01, 2023 - 05:54 PM
Update (1154ET):
"If I was to put money on it I would say that we're going to see another night of violence," SKY News' Siobhan Robbins said while reporting on a gun store that was looted.
* * *

Social unrest spread like cancer across French cities for a fourth consecutive night, with hundreds of buildings and vehicles set ablaze. President Emmanuel Macron's government struggled to contain the violence, which was sparked on Tuesday after a teenager was shot dead by a police officer.

In an update on Saturday, France's Interior Ministry said 2,500 fires were reported overnight. Rioters set fire to 1,350 vehicles and 235 buildings nationwide. About 1,300 people were arrested, while the government mobilized 45,000 police officers with armored vehicles to quell the violence.

According to The Telegraph (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/06/30/paris-shooting-violence-nanterre-olympic-pool-nahel-france/), French police said they were "at war" with "savage hordes of vermin" on Friday night. The country's top police unions threatened revolt unless Macron's government restored law and order.
"Today the police are in combat because we are at war. Tomorrow we will enter resistance and the government should be aware of this," police unions said.

France is dominated by the square of Mars and Uranus in progression from the founding of the republic but also from the creation of the 5th republic. We are currently under a conjunction of Mars/Venus square Uranus, so France is affected and there are until 2050 with police repression, I wrote two articles about it recently in French...

[mizo]

Reports of riots spilling over into Belgium and Switzerland too... give it time onto here in the UK and then across the rest of Europe.

Governments will then act and 'save' us all with digital ID's, restrictive curfews and lock-downs.

[Jeksey]

This is not just about France. Sure, it may be a big topic for France now but as Mizo said the protests will spread to the rest of Europe. Soon.

Back in 2020 when George Floyd was killed the wave of protests caught up to Germany and it was madness. There's even a wikipedia page dedicated to the riots back then: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Stuttgart_riot

A martial law is already being discussed, which will only add oil to the fire (quite literally). I'm afraid to say I see no peaceful end to the situation in Europe. Rents are extremely high, salaries have been stagnant, cities are dangerous...

My personal vision of the future is that the governments in Europe will use these protests as an excuse to declare martial law and make us download (again) passport apps.

Solar flares - save us.

The decline in purchasing power following the inflation and the war in Ukraine, when workers can no longer come up with expenses and eat healthily. The cause of the gap which is widening between the richest and the poorest.
I see it in Strasbourg, all these people begging, there are everywhere and more and more every year and it's everywhere in the big cities, like Paris, Marseille, Lyon, etc...
We have a former banker at the helm of the country, he will defend the richest, do we agree?
he reduced unemployment insurance, that means that people who find themselves unemployed, who have contributed, their allowances have been reduced to a trickle, the only way not to end up on the street is to look for work, when it's near your home you're happy, but when you have to move and you don't have any money in your pocket?
There would be thousands of positions to fill in seasonal work, where are the young people? , when you have to look for accommodation, you do the count at the end of the month, you have earned nothing.
When we were young and we worked in the summer, we brought money back to the parents, we could have fun. Today you work to pay your bills and you don't have much left for many families in France.
In this system, couples separate at the slightest dispute and this is one of the causes of the precariousness of women raising their children alone...
This is no longer the France of my youth, today for a young person the current society has broken their wings but also their dreams

The French are trapped with LePen like in 2017 in the second round, are the French too stupid?
LePen is part of the system and those who could bring about change, will not receive the 500 sponsorships necessary to participate in the elections, the political system is locked from the inside like in America?

France protests: Funeral held for teen shot by police as 1,300 arrested overnight

More than 1,300 people have been arrested overnight as widespread anger over the police shooting of a French-Algerian teen continues to rock France.

The death of 17-year-old Nahel M, who was shot in the chest by police while stopped for an alleged traffic violation on 27 June, has brought mass protests and civil unrest over institutional racism and police brutality.

Public transport has been suspended across the country, while French President Emmanuel Macron delayed a planned state visit to Germany.

As the country braced itself for a fifth day of protests, the funeral of Nahel began on Saturday in the Paris suburb of Nanterre where he had lived. An AFP reporter said a large crowd gathered at the local cemetery, while the atmosphere was tense.

Hundreds of people lined up to enter Nanterre's grand mosque for the funeral, which was guarded by volunteers in yellow vests.

Government figures released early on Saturday said 1,350 vehicles and 234 buildings had been torched overnight.

There had been 2,560 incidents of fire set in public spaces, while 79 members of the security services had been wounded.

More than 45,000 officers, backed by light armoured vehicles and elite police units, were deployed across the country. A decree issued on Saturday gave Paris police the right to deploy drones in parts of the suburbs.

French interior minister Gerald Darmanin said that the average age of those arrested was 17, while the country's justice minister Eric Dupont-Moretti said 30 percent of the people arrested were under 18.

Demonstrators were set to gather at Place la Concorde, at the foot of the Champs-Elysees on Friday, but were told by police to disperse. In the city of Marseille, police deployed tear gas against crowds of people around dusk on Saturday, Reuters reported citing a witness.

One demonstrator, 22-year-old Louana, carrying a placard reading "Our blood flows on their uniforms", told Middle East Eye the unrest was a long time coming.

"The police in France are racist," she said.

"They try to hide it, but everyone is starting to wake up, and so much the better."

Friday's demonstrators included many left-wing activists. In a memo that MEE was able to consult, the French intelligence services expressed concern about this coming together between far-left movements and groups from working-class neighbourhoods.

Khadija, 28, lives close to where Nahel was killed last Monday by a policeman. Since his death, she's been taking part in all the rallies.

"We don't exist in the eyes of some people. So now people from the suburbs are her," she said.

"We're here with our placards, and we're not pelting the police. What's happening isn't riots, it's a revolt. That's it, we can't take it any more!"

'Savage hordes'

On Friday, a number of police unions put out a statement in which they urged Macron to give them the power to deal with the "savage hordes of vermin" they said were rampaging across the country.

"All means must be put in place to restore the rule of law as quickly as possible," read the statement, which said the police were in a state of "war".

"It's no longer enough to call for calm, it must be imposed," said the Alliance Police Nationale and UNSA Police unions.

The statement was disavowed by the overall head of the UNSA union federation, while a number of politicians denounced it as inflammatory.

"The 'unions' that call for civil war must learn to be silent. We have seen the murderous behaviour that this kind of talk leads to," tweeted left-wing political leader Jean-Luc Melenchon.

"The political power must take control of the police. Those who want calm do not throw oil on the fire!"

Macron also left an European Union summit in Brussels on Friday early to attend a second cabinet crisis meeting. The French president asked social media to remove "the most sensitive" footage of the protests.

Darmanin, the interior minister, met with officials from social media platforms Meta, Twitter, Snapchat and TikTok.

A number of countries, including the UK, issued advice warning against visiting France as a result of the violence.

The killing of Nahel has reignited concerns about institutional racism in the police.

In a statement on Friday, the UN human rights office said France should see the incident as "a moment for the country to seriously address the deep issues of racism and racial discrimination in law enforcement".

First rioters jailed in France
Some 50 rioters, most of them youths, have faced swift trials in Paris and Grenoble for participating in the wave of anarchy that followed the police shooting of a French-Algerian teenager earlier in the week. More than 2,800 people have been arrested throughout the unrest.

Some 20 suspects appeared before the court in the Paris suburb of Nanterre on Friday. Most of them, the French newspaper Le Monde noted, were teenagers or young adults with no previous history of criminality.

Five suspects were on trial for rebellion, violence against police officers, and damage to property. All five pleaded their innocence, but after only 15 minutes of deliberation, three were handed prison sentences, one was given a warning, and one acquitted, Le Monde reported.

The most severe sentence was given to a 22-year-old identified as Amaury I., who threw stones at police officers from a housing project rooftop.

More court cases followed, with the France Info radio station reporting on Sunday that three rioters in the southeastern city of Grenoble had been sentenced to between three and four months in prison. The court in Grenoble heard a total of 30 cases on Sunday morning, France Info reported.

French authorities have arrested more than 2,800 people for rioting since Tuesday, the country’s Interior Ministry announced on Sunday. Primarily instigated by youths from immigrant backgrounds, the rioting broke out after police shot and killed a teenager who refused to cooperate at a traffic stop in Nanterre.

The protests quickly became violent and spread across the country, despite the officer involved in the shooting being arrested and charged with homicide. Amid widespread arson and vandalism, rioters have attacked police with fireworks and molotov cocktails, while some have been filmed brandishing military-grade firearms.

On Saturday, French President Emmanuel Macron postponed a planned visit to Germany due to the continuing unrest. Meanwhile, several European countries, including the UK, have advised their citizens to avoid traveling to areas gripped by the violence.

Macron’s response to the riots – which he blamed on “video games” – has been heavily condemned by French police unions. Two organizations representing half of all the country’s officers called on Friday for the president to launch a harsh crackdown on the “violent minorities” rampaging in the streets.

Saint-Denis (93): last night, while fighting a fire from several vehicles in a parking lot, a young Corporal-Chief of the Paris Fire Brigade, aged 24, died #riots

info: Saint Denis is located in the Parisian suburbs where the cities of the young rioters are.
I would add apart from the police, these young people from immigration are often more racist than the French of origin. France has been split in two for a very long time and why maybe the politicians were in a state of strength to do what they wanted, I think it's also the same in America?. It is not a question of rich or poor, but more of belonging as a legitimate Frenchman in law.
This is where the difference can seem hurtful, because the gap has widened a little more each year.

But for Macronie and its propaganda media, all is well in the best of worlds…

Who has not understood what we experienced during the Covid cannot fully understand what is currently happening in France with the riots.
Indeed, the "covid period" has shown how malevolent Power can be and do everything to make the people divided and hate each other. You have to understand that this project is not new. Having spent my life between the heart of the Seine Saint Denis and the most remote countryside of France, and meditating in depth on the world and its inhabitants, it did not take the young man that I was long to understand the Machiavellian project of the elites. Indeed, the powers that drive the world behind the scenes and who deliberately created a climate of terror and extreme tension during the covid (dividing peoples, making scapegoats, governing by fear etc.) are responsible for the climate and the violence that has reigned in France for too long. The project of the globalist oligarchy is incontestably a project of deconstruction of the country, of uprooting and deculturation of the French people, on the one hand, and of manipulation of the populations of North African and sub-Saharan origin so that they hate the "evil past colonial" French and ultimately everything that represents this country, feel unloved, "systemic" victims etc. Which, of course, can only lead to the result we were all sadly witnessing. Understand what I'm saying: a fire doesn't catch on by itself, it catches on when it cracks and throws matches on the ground. Alas, it is clear that the French political project consisted in throwing matches on the ground, daily for 50 years. I repeat, a fire does not catch on its own, it catches on when you play with fire. Worse, when you add oil to it and blow on the embers. The fire is here, it is incumbent on honest intellectuals to stop commenting on the consequences (the flames) and to try to understand and analyze the conditions that made this fire possible, that is to say to seek some the root causes: those who struck the matches and blew on the embers for 50 years, the very people who created today's France from scratch.

It's like Nero planned this sh1t so he could rebuild his smart cities.
The entire refugee forced immigration had this in mind the entire time,, and if you point this out or protest on this behalf the liberals will call you a racist and lock you up.
It's insidious.
It's war through social engineering.
It's actually beautiful when you sit back and look at it from a distance.
Most folks look at something like this and point out how unlikely enough players would have the follow through necessary to pull this off.
This is a very intelligent criticism.
In a long con of this magnitude, there would be a large percentage that would fail on there follow through.

Something like 30-40% is my guesstimate.
This plan would have never been pulled off with those kind of numbers having a renewed sense of morality and conscious.

Macron Demands Platforms Delete Riot Content; Blames Social Media & Video Games For Protest Spread (https://www.zerohedge.com/political/macron-demands-platforms-delete-riot-content-blames-social-media-video-games-protest)

by Tyler Durden

Monday, Jul 03, 2023 - 12:00 PM
Authored by Christina Maas via ReclaimTheNet.org, (https://reclaimthenet.org/macron-wants-platforms-to-delete-riot-content)

In France, a storm is brewing (again), and French President Emmanuel Macron appears to have figured it all out – it’s social media and video games that are to blame for the ongoing riots in France!

This came following five nights of rioting initially triggered by the fatal police shooting of a Muslim teenager, Nahel M.

Macron’s comments are hardly original, yet they warrant scrutiny from a free speech perspective.


https://assets.zerohedge.com/s3fs-public/styles/inline_image_mobile/public/inline-images/2023-07-02_10-13-52.jpg?itok=v1d9BH37


One cannot help but raise an eyebrow as President Macron pleads with social media giants to erase the “most sensitive” content pertaining to the rioting.

With a wave of his hand, he decrees, “platforms and networks are playing a major role in the events of recent days.”

His words, veiled under a guise of concern, echo a familiar tune that has been played on the world stage before.
“We’ve seen them; Snapchat, TikTok and several others, serve as places where violent gatherings have been organized, but there’s also a form of mimicry of the violence which for some young people leads them to lose touch with reality.

“You get the impression that for some of them they are experiencing on the street the video games that have intoxicated them,” he added.
It’s fascinating that social media platforms and video games are often the easiest targets when those in power look for a scapegoat.

It’s like a well-rehearsed performance: when there’s unrest, point fingers at technology.

Surely, Snapchat and TikTok are not centuries-old entities that have been brewing riots since the French Revolution.

Is it not reasonable to ponder if this fervor in urging platforms to suppress content may serve a dual purpose? On the surface, it appears to be an act of preventing violence, but does it not also conveniently serve as an avenue for controlling narratives and stifling voices?

One must also critically examine the role of parents, which Macron emphasized by stating that a third of those arrested were “young or very young,” adding that “it’s not the state’s job to act in their place.”

Indeed, parental responsibility is paramount, but it’s equally critical to recognize that riots don’t just happen because the youth are playing video games.

The situation is precarious, with more than 200 police officers injured, and 875 people arrested. The nation watches on as buildings are torched and stores are looted.

French residents deplore damages caused in protests over police killing of teen

MARSEILLE, France

Intense protests have shaken France since last week when police killed an Algerian-origin teenager in a Paris suburb.

Public buildings and vehicles were set on fire by angry protesters across several cities, while incidents of looting and plunder were reported.

The city of Marseille in southern France remained calm until Friday, but the situation got out of control over the weekend.

Fatma, a resident of Marseille in her 50s who only gave her first name due to fear of reprisals, told Anadolu: "Why is it that the city center is all cleaned up and here, in the working-class neighborhoods, we still have burnt trucks in the middle of the road?"

"When it happens in our area, it seems that nobody is interested," Fatma added. "This is not new though, it has been like this for 50 years."

A police officer shot dead Nahel M. on June 27 during a traffic check in the Paris suburb of Nanterre after he ignored orders to stop.

The officer faces a formal investigation for voluntary homicide and has been placed in preliminary detention.

Daily life disrupted

A store of the supermarket chain Aldi in the city was attacked by unidentified people in a car, and then looted and set on fire.

"So should we not eat or drink anymore?" said Fadela, an Algerian-origin woman in her 80s.

Only giving her first name due to fear of reprisals, she called on the protesters to stop destroying utility stores and public goods.

"What are we going to do without buses and shops now? We will be sanctioned and I doubt that the state will help us rebuild what was destroyed," she added.

On Saturday morning, a young resident of the 14th district of Marseille, was spotted outside the burned remains of Aldi.

"We hope that the government is aware of the situation," he said, refusing to reveal his identity.

Complaining of racist attitudes of the French police, he said: "They become aggressive as soon as they see us."

The protests were relatively mild on Sunday night, with police arresting 21 people.

As many as 350 firefighters were deployed at the protest sites.

One firefighter told Anadolu that they extinguished big and small fires, including the one at Aldi.

I read something by Sue Arrigo and it was about the election USA circa 2000.
It was about a unsubstantiated claim that David Rockefeller had paid off a SCOTUS justice to vote a certain way concerning the particulures at the end of that election.
A series of payments were made.
6$ then 66$ then 666$ all the way to 6,666,666.00$
The writer/witness noted it would have just been cheaper to give him his six million and be done with him to which David Rockefeller replied I want him to know exactly where his money is coming from.

Separate from this, Macron initially won his Presidency he was an underdog, expected to lose but then he won in a land slide with 66.60% of the vote.
I knew at least for my self any way that this election was fixed.

The gentleman basically explains that with the laws introduced in France to protect children, there are children who no longer obey, because if you hit your child today, you can be prosecuted. In fact the children are too spoiled with video games, stmarphone, pocket money ect... the education received by the parents was a guarantee of respect, your parents, the neighbors, the elderly, it is the education that We should change, because today parents are prisoners of the laws that prevent them from properly educating these children...

While the street is on fire, the texts pass without incident to Parliament. Parliamentarians and the media will be careful not to alert you and the executive power has free rein.

Article 23 of the military programming bill for the years 2024 to 2030 and containing various provisions relating to defence:

In the event of a threat weighing on the activities essential to the life of the Nation, the protection of the population, the integrity of the territory, the permanence of the institutions of the Republic or (new case) of such a nature as to justify the implementation of the commitments of the State in terms of defence, whether current or if it is not immediate, only foreseeable, the new article L. 2212-1 of the defense code will allow (if it is definitively adopted) the President of the Republic, via a decree in the Council of Ministers, to order the requisition of any person, natural or legal, and of all the goods and services necessary to ward off this threat or to empower the administrative authority or military to carry out these measures.

When article L2212-1 is not applied, in the event of an emergency, if the safeguarding of the interests of national defense justifies it, the Prime Minister may order, by decree, the requisition of any person, physical or moral, of any property or any service (article L.2212-2).

The fact of refusing to comply with the request for a census of persons, goods and services or the summons to tests or exercises or even refusing the blocking of goods will be penalized by one year of imprisonment and 15,000 euros. fine, following the adoption of the Government's amendment by the Senate (article L.2211-5, 1° new and 2° of the Defense Code).

Failure to comply with the requisitions provided for in Articles L.2212-1 and L.2212-2 is punishable by five years' imprisonment and a fine of 500,000 euros (Article L.2212-9 of the Code of defense).
The bill is still under discussion.

I knew 20 years ago when I used to live in France, that the country is being attacked from within. Same goes for Belgium, England, Sweden.

These animals are not refugees. There are no women nor kids amongst them. Western Europe has become the laughing stock of the Middle East.

And it is all by design. It's far easier to enforce a policy with a tank than it is convincing people of the benefits. But you need a divided population, swamped in violence, to do that.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of white women are being raped by these psychopaths every year while the government actively covers it up or just ignores the onslaught.

Keep advertising "Refugees Welcome", it's been going great so far.

Instead of being scandalized by the size of the kitty for the family of the imprisoned policeman, the left and the far left would do better to see it as a sign of the deep conviction of the country. It is also interesting to note that the allegedly incriminating video against the two intervening motorcyclists would on the contrary reveal their correct expression in the exercise of their functions @SudRadio But the analysis is still in progress @Mediapart

The greatest danger for the ruling caste has always been that the French form a bloc. Therefore, it is not conspiratorial but obvious to understand that the climate of tension and terrible hatred that exists in France is the result of a long-standing project. They created two Frances to better maintain themselves in power. It is urgent to understand it. A fire does not fall from the sky, it appears when we gather the ingredients for: when we play with fire.

... Top brass military officers give Macron ULTIMATUM to end riots in France (https://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=270769)

07/05/2023 // Belle Carter (https://www.naturalnews.com/author/bellecarter) // Views


https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/91/2023/07/Figure-Flames-Riot.jpg


A former top brass French military commander and several other senior officers have reportedly delivered an ultimatum on July 2 to French President Emmanuel Marcon to restore order in the country within 48 hours (https://citizenwatchreport.com/french-military-brass-make-veiled-threat-to-macron-for-possible-coup-rioters-hunt-for-government-officials/) or they will do it themselves, with the Army.

A letter from the 20 senior officers, which contained the threat, has reportedly been circulating in Britain and France. The warning would not only constitute a "stance" by officers in action against the state and the legitimate government, but it would also entail very serious penalties for those who participated.

The fatal shooting of 17-year-old Nahel M. in Paris by French police on June 27 during a traffic stop has sparked the massive unrest that has had the city and its surrounding suburbs' law enforcement struggling to maintain law and order for several days now.

Former Parliamentary candidate with the Brexit Party Barnsley Jim Ferguson posted on Twitter that the said warning is allegedly from the former chief of the Armed Forces of France, highly respected and decorated General Pierre de Villiers, who fell out with Macron over his globalist policies and whom he had publicly humiliated during a row over defense spending cuts.

https://twitter.com/JimFergusonUK/status/1675301483619786754?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1675301483619786754%7Ctwgr% 5E1db7ad3030c75c16f7101370e32bcaf9d92873f4%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thetruthseeker.co.uk%2F%3Fp%3D270769

According to Ferguson, the De Villiers and the senior serving military officials issued the alert that they will intervene next week if riots remain unquelled (https://chaos.news/).

It would be no surprise if the General leads the team that issued the warning as De Villiers has publicly criticized the ongoing conflict and European policy on Ukraine. He emphasizes that the Russian-Ukraine war is "not in the interest" of European nation-states and that its continuation just serves the vested interests of the United States government. Paris-based Le Figaro reported that the ex-Armed Forces chief argued that European countries ought to be working towards de-escalating the war in Ukraine (https://unitynewsnetwork.co.uk/reports-that-french-general-has-issued-ultimatum-to-macron-that-he-will-be-removed-unless-riots-quelled/) instead of following America's "high-risk, escalators policies."

Reports, meanwhile, claim that the general pointed out "rioters in France have armed themselves with automatic weapons, according to further reports in another deeply disturbing and troubling turn of events as Macron continues to lose control of the situation."

There are no other updates available at this time. Nothing yet confirms if the ultimatum is real or propaganda.

France under Macron is constantly battling crises
Right now, France continues to explode in violence (https://www.politico.eu/article/france-president-emmanuel-macron-fixing-the-french-republic-riots-police/) as its citizens are terrorized and their cities burn. Many French citizens and 'gilets jaunes' are again joining the protests and calling for Macron to either resign or be removed. And this is not the first-time he has faced difficult situations such as the recent turmoil due to his policies.

Back in March, riots also sparked due to a deep political crisis when he raised the retirement age from 62 to 64 by asking French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne to invoke Article 49.3 of the French Constitution, which gives the executive branch the power to override a legislative vote. (Related: Macron raises retirement age from 62 to 64, sparking riots across France (https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-03-21-macron-raises-retirement-age-sparking-riots-france.html).)

He said it was necessary to keep the French economy competitive and to prevent the pension program from going into a deficit. The president told cabinet ministers that "the financial risks were too great" had National Assembly members rejected the proposal.

Moreover, even during his first term his path has been rocky, as he faced Yellow Jackets protests, the Wuhan coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic and the ever-present threat of terrorism in France. "It's as if France was a pressure cooker, each crisis reveals tensions, a conflict in society, tensions over the respect owed to our institutions … Our country is constantly invoking Republican values, but it appears entire segments of the population don't feel these matter to them," Bruno Cautres, a politics researcher with the Sciences Po institute, said.

As per Jordan Bardella, ex-National Rally President Marine Le Pen's successor, the recent unrest had exposed frailties that could encourage a populist discourse. "Our political response must be a reasonable one, that addresses the reality and daily lives of the French," he added.

His party predecessor Le Pen, who came second to Macron in the 2022 elections, has held back from fueling a backlash against rioters, sticking to her strategy of embracing mainstream politics.

Descartes: the Saint-Georges church on fire

The roof of the Saint-Georges church in Descartes ignited this Sunday morning, July 9, 2023. Probably because of lightning. About fifty firefighters intervened.
Sad early morning, in Descartes, this Sunday, July 9, 2023. It was about 7:30 a.m. when the fire broke out. The residents heard a violent storm, a detonation. The roof of the Saint-Georges church, rue des Champs-Marteaux, has ignited.

About fifty firefighters
The firefighters intervened less than a quarter of an hour after the start of the fire. Proximity first, then the whole department and Vienna. In total, about fifty fire soldiers intervened. At the time of writing, they were extinguishing the residual fireplaces.

The bell tower and roof of the building, classified, were completely destroyed as well as the vault, expected to collapse. Just like the pinion. The bell, fallen, stopped on the first floor.

Local residents put in safety
Many people are on site, including local elected officials, the sub-prefect, the archbishop.

The works that occupied the interior of the church were, for the most part, able to be sheltered in another deaccrated religious building, the church of Notre-Dame de Descartes. Above all, about fifteen residents were taken to safety for the day.

Knowing that after Notre-Dame de Paris or the sad episode of Saint-Martin-le-Beau in Indre-et-Loire, this kind of event can be particularly traumatic.

Remember last week's breathless hot takes on how 'France has fallen'? Well, the urban riots have ended, and you won't believe how: local drug-lords simply called them off, reminding Joe and Niall of the links between the criminal underworld and jihadi-terrorist networks, which are known to overlap via Western intelligence connections.

Meanwhile, NATO heads of state are gathering on Russia's border to plot 'full-scale ground war' against the 'rogue state'. Are these people serious? Probably not. Remember, always, that war is a racket.

Whaaat? It's been like early spring here in Britain so far this month; right now it's cold, very windy and the sun is nowhere to be seen behind grey clouds. Might put the heating on soon.

Looking at that video's thumbnail in the top left corner, it looks as if it's the same in France, BeNeLux, Germany and Scandinavia. It's hot in the Mediterranean which is normal for July.

Like dominos, African states are one by one falling outside the shackles of neocolonialism. Chad, Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and now Gabon are saying 'non' to France's longtime domination of African financial, political, economic, and security affairs.

https://assets.zerohedge.com/s3fs-public/styles/inline_image_mobile/public/inline-images/2023-09-05_16-12-14.jpg?itok=lzLwz1ap


By adding two new African member-states to its roster, last week's summit in Johannesburg heralding the expanded BRICS 11 (https://new.thecradle.co/articles/welcome-to-the-brics-11) showed once again that Eurasian integration is inextricably linked to the integration of Afro-Eurasia.

Belarus is now proposing to hold a joint summit between BRICS 11, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), and the Eurasia Economic Union (EAEU). President Aleksandr Lukashenko's vision for the convergence of these multilateral organizations may, in due time, lead to the Mother of All Multipolarity Summits.

But Afro-Eurasia is a much more complicated proposition. Africa still lags far behind its Eurasian cousins on the road toward breaking the shackles of neocolonialism.

The continent today faces horrendous odds in its fight against the deeply entrenched financial and political institutions of colonization (https://new.thecradle.co/articles/france-never-stopped-looting-africa-now-the-tables-are-turning), especially when it comes to smashing French monetary hegemony in the form of the Franc CFA (https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/africaatlse/2017/07/12/the-cfa-franc-french-monetary-imperialism-in-africa/) - or the Communauté Financière Africaine (African Financial Community).

Still, one domino is falling after another – Chad, Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and now Gabon. This process has already turned Burkina Faso's President Captain Ibrahim Traoré, into a new hero of the multipolar world – as a dazed and confused collective west can’t even begin to comprehend the blowback represented by its 8 coups in West and Central Africa in less than 3 years.

Bye bye Bongo
Military officers decided to take power in Gabon after hyper pro-France President Ali Bongo won a dodgy election that “lacked credibility.” Institutions were dissolved. Borders with Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, and the Republic of Congo were closed. All security deals with France were annulled. No one knows what will happen with the French military base.

All that was as popular as it comes: soldiers took to the streets of the capital Libreville in joyful singing, cheered on by onlookers.

Bongo and his father, who preceded him, have ruled Gabon since 1967. He was educated at a French private school and graduated from the Sorbonne. Gabon is a small nation of 2.4 million with a small army of 5,000 personnel that could fit into Donald Trump’s penthouse. Over 30 percent of the population lives on less than $1 a day, and in over 60 percent of regions have zero access to healthcare and drinking water.

The military qualified Bongo’s 14-year rule as leading to a "deterioration in social cohesion” that was plunging the country “into chaos."

On cue, French mining company Eramet suspended its operations after the coup. That’s a near monopoly. Gabon is all about lavish mineral wealth – in gold, diamonds, manganese, uranium, niobium, iron ore, not to mention oil, natural gas, and hydropower. In OPEC-member Gabon, virtually the whole economy revolves around mining.

The case of Niger is even more complex. France exploits uranium and high-purity petrol as well as other types of mineral wealth. And the Americans are on site, operating three bases in Niger with up to 4,000 military personnel. The key strategic node in their ‘Empire of Bases’ is the drone facility in Agadez, known as Niger Air Base 201, the second-largest in Africa after Djibouti.

French and American interests clash, though, when it comes to the saga over the Trans-Sahara gas pipeline. After Washington broke the umbilical steel cord between Russia and Europe by bombing the Nord Streams, the EU, and especially Germany, badly needed an alternative.

Algerian gas supply can barely cover southern Europe. American gas is horribly expensive.

The ideal solution for Europeans would be Nigerian gas crossing the Sahara and then the deep Mediterranean.

Nigeria, with 5,7 trillion cubic meters, has even more gas than Algeria and possibly Venezuela. By comparison, Norway has 2 trillion cubic meters. But Nigeria’s problem is how to pump its gas to distant customers - so Niger becomes an essential transit country.

When it comes to Niger’s role, energy is actually a much bigger game than the oft-touted uranium – which in fact is not that strategic either for France or the EU because Niger is only the 5th largest world supplier, way behind Kazakhstan and Canada.

Still, the ultimate French nightmare is losing the juicy uranium deals plus a Mali remix: Russia, post-Prighozin, arriving in Niger in full force with a simultaneous expulsion of the French military.

Adding Gabon only makes things dicier. Rising Russian influence could lead to boosting supply lines to rebels in Cameroon and Nigeria, and privileged access to the Central African Republic, where Russian presence is already strong.

It's no wonder that Francophile Paul Biya, in power for 41 years in Cameroon, has opted for a purge of his Armed Forces after the coup in Gabon. Cameroon may be the next domino to fall.

ECOWAS meets AFRICOM
The Americans, as it stands, are playing Sphynx. There’s no evidence so far that Niger's military wants the Agadez base shut down. The Pentagon has invested a fortune in their bases to spy on a great deal of the Sahel and, most of all, Libya.

About the only thing Paris and Washington agree on is that, under the cover of ECOWAS (the Economic Community of West African States), the hardest possible sanctions should be slapped on one of the world’s poorest nations (where only 21% of the population has access to electricity) - and they should be much worse than those imposed on the Ivory Coast in 2010.

Then there’s the threat of war. Imagine the absurdity of ECOWAS invading a country that is already fighting two wars on terror on two separate fronts: Against Boko Haram in the southeast and against ISIS in the Tri-Border region.

ECOWAS, one of 8 African political and economic unions, is a proverbial mess. It packs 15 member nations - Francophone, Anglophone and one Lusophone - in Central and West Africa, and it is rife with internal division.

The French and the Americans first wanted ECOWAS to invade Niger as their “peacekeeping” puppet. But that didn’t work because of popular pressure against it. So, they switched to some form of diplomacy. Still, troops remain on stand-by, and a mysterious “D-Day” has been set for the invasion.

The role of the African Union (AU) is even murkier. Initially, they stood against the coup and suspended Niger's membership. Then they turned around and condemned the possible western-backed invasion. Neighbors have closed their borders with Niger.

ECOWAS will implode without US, France, and NATO backing. Already it’s essentially a toothless chihuahua – especially after Russia and China have demonstrated via the BRICS summit their soft power across Africa.

Western policy in the Sahel maelstrom seems to consist of salvaging anything they can from a possible unmitigated debacle - even as the stoic people in Niger are impervious to whatever narrative the west is trying to concoct.

It's important to keep in mind that Niger’s main party, the “National Movement for the Defense of the Homeland” represented by General Abdourahamane Tchiani, has been supported by the Pentagon – complete with military training – from the beginning.

The Pentagon is deeply implanted in Africa and connected to 53 nations. The main US concept since the early 2000s was always to militarize Africa and turn it into War on Terror fodder. As the Dick Cheney regime spun it in 2002: “Africa is a strategic priority in fighting terrorism.”

That’s the basis for the US military command AFRICOM and countless “cooperative partnerships” set up in bilateral agreements. For all practical purposes, AFRICOM has been occupying large swathes of Africa since 2007.

How sweet is my colonial franc
It is absolutely impossible for anyone across the Global South, Global Majority, or “Global Globe” (https://new.thecradle.co/articles/finance-power-integration-the-sco-welcomes-a-new-global-globe) (copyright Lukashenko) to understand Africa's current turmoil without understanding the nuts and bolts of French neocolonialism (https://new.thecradle.co/articles/france-never-stopped-looting-africa-now-the-tables-are-turning).

The key, of course, is the CFA franc, the “colonial franc” introduced in 1945 in French Africa, which still survives even after the CFA - with a nifty terminological twist - began to stand for "African Financial Community".

The whole world remembers that after the 2008 global financial crisis, Libya’s Leader Muammar Gaddafi called for the establishment of a pan-African currency pegged to gold.

At the time, Libya had about 150 tons of gold, kept at home, and not in London, Paris, or New York banks. With a little more gold, that pan-African currency would have its own independent financial center in Tripoli – and everything based on a sovereign gold reserve.

For scores of African nations, that was the definitive Plan B to bypass the western financial system.

The whole world also remembers what happened in 2011. The first airstrike on Libya came from a French Mirage fighter jet. France's bombing campaign started even before the end of emergency talks in Paris between western leaders.

In March 2011, France became the first country in the world to recognize the rebel National Transitional Council as the legitimate government of Libya. In 2015, the notoriously hacked emails of former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton revealed what France was up to in Libya: "The desire to achieve a greater share in Libyan oil production,” to increase French influence in North Africa, and to block Gaddafi's plans to create a pan-African currency that would replace the CFA franc printed in France.

It is no wonder the collective west is terrified of Russia in Africa – and not just because of the changing of the guard in Chad, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and now Gabon: Moscow has never sought to rob or enslave Africa.

Russia treats Africans as sovereign people, does not engage in Forever Wars, and does not drain Africa of resources while paying a pittance for them. Meanwhile, French intel and CIA “foreign policy” translate into corrupting African leaders to the core and snuffing out those that are incorruptible.

You have the right to no monetary policy
The CFA racket makes the Mafia look like street punks. It means essentially that the monetary policy of several sovereign African nations is controlled by the French Treasury in Paris.

The Central Bank of each African nation was initially required to keep at least 65 percent of their annual foreign exchange reserves in an “operation account” held at the French Treasury, plus another 20 percent to cover financial “liabilities.”

Even after some mild “reforms” were enacted since September 2005, these nations were still required to transfer 50 percent of their foreign exchange to Paris, plus 20 percent V.A.T.

And it gets worse. The CFA Central Banks impose a cap on credit to each member country. The French Treasury invests these African foreign reserves in its own name on the Paris bourse and pulls in massive profits on Africa's dime.

The hard fact is that more than 80 percent of foreign reserves of African nations have been in “operation accounts” controlled by the French Treasury since 1961. In a nutshell, none of these states has sovereignty over their monetary policy.

But the theft doesn't stop there: the French Treasury uses African reserves as if they were French capital, as collateral in pledging assets to French payments to the EU and the ECB.

Across the “FranceAfrique” spectrum, France still, today, controls the currency, foreign reserves, the comprador elites, and trade business.

The examples are rife: French conglomerate Bolloré's control of port and marine transport throughout West Africa; Bouygues/Vinci dominate construction and public works, water, and electricity distribution; Total has huge stakes in oil and gas. And then there’s France Telecom and big banking - Societe Generale, Credit Lyonnais, BNP-Paribas, AXA (insurance), and so forth.

France de facto controls the overwhelming majority of infrastructure in Francophone Africa. It is a virtual monopoly.

“FranceAfrique” is all about hardcore neocolonialism. Policies are issued by the President of the Republic of France and his “African cell.” They have nothing to do with parliament, or any democratic process, since the times of Charles De Gaulle.

The “African cell” is a sort of General Command. They use the French military apparatus to install “friendly” comprador leaders and get rid of those that threaten the system. There’s no diplomacy involved. Currently, the cell reports exclusively to Le Petit Roi, Emmanuel Macron.

Caravans of drugs, diamonds, and gold
Paris completely supervised the assassination of Burkina Faso's anti-colonial leader Thomas Sankara, in 1987. Sankara had risen to power via a popular coup in 1983, only to be overthrown and assassinated four years later.

As for the real “war on terror” in the African Sahel, it has nothing to do with the infantile fictions sold in the West. There are no Arab “terrorists” in the Sahel, as I saw when backpacking across West Africa a few months before 9/11. They are locals who converted to Salafism online, intent on setting up an Islamic State to better control smuggling routes across the Sahel.

Those fabled ancient salt caravans plying the Sahel from Mali to southern Europe and West Asia are now caravans of drugs, diamonds, and gold. This is what funded Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), for instance, then supported by Wahhabi lunatics in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf.

After Libya was destroyed by NATO in early 2011, there was no more “protection,” so the western-backed Salafi-jihadis who fought against Gaddafi offered the Sahel smugglers the same protection as before - plus a lot of weapons.

Assorted Mali tribes continue the merry smuggling of anything they fancy. AQIM still extracts illegal taxation. ISIS in Libya is deep into human and narcotics trafficking. And Boko Haram wallows in the cocaine and heroin market.

There is a degree of African cooperation to fight these outfits. There was something called the G5 Sahel, focused on security and development. But after Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali, and Chad went the military route, only Mauritania remains. The new West Africa Junta Belt, of course, wants to destroy terror groups, but most of all, they want to fight FranceAfrique, and the fact that their national interests are always decided in Paris.

France has for decades made sure there’s very little intra-Africa trade. Landlocked nations badly need neighbors for transit. They mostly produce raw materials for export. There are virtually no decent storage facilities, feeble energy supply, and terrible intra-African transportation infrastructure: that’s what Chinese Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) projects are bent on addressing in Africa.

In March 2018, 44 heads of state came up with the African Continental Free Trade Area (ACFTA) – the largest in the world in terms of population (1.3 billion people) and geography. In January 2022, they established the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System (PAPSS) – focused on payments for companies in Africa in local currencies.

So inevitably, they will be going for a common currency further on down the road. Guess what’s in their way: the Paris-imposed CFA.

A few cosmetic measures still guarantee direct control by the French Treasury on any possible new African currency set up, preference for French companies in bidding processes, monopolies, and the stationing of French troops. The coup in Niger represents a sort of “we’re not gonna take it anymore.”

All of the above illustrates what the indispensable economist Michael Hudson has been detailing in all his works: the power of the extractivist model. Hudson has shown how the bottom line is control of the world’s resources; that’s what defines a global power, and in the case of France, a global mid-ranking power.

France has shown how easy it is to control resources via control of monetary policy and setting up monopolies in these resource-rich nations to extract and export, using virtual slave labor with zero environmental or health regulations.

It's also essential for exploitative neocolonialism to keep those resource-rich nations from using their own resources to grow their own economies. But now the African dominoes are finally saying, “The game is over.” Is true decolonization finally on the horizon?

Chances are it will get bloody before it gets better, so history would suggest anyway. But I say good for them and long overdue.

Then of course that nagging cynic in residence somewhere behind my forethoughts suggest it is all going to plan. Another nail in the demise of the West, the longed for collapse of Western society so they can rush in to save the day and make us all slaves to a new, better, shinier elite!

Who cares how many humans die in chaos and blood-soaked misery, all the better if they are black. Say hallo to the new Emperor who just stepped out of the shadows of the previous one you never even knew existed.

And so another chapter in a planet's long and bloody history reveals - nothing changed! Only now it will be so much harder to break the chains that bind you.
But maybe, even in the darkest of times humanity will find spiritual absolution....

As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison.

Farmers in the Brittany region of France on Wednesday staged a protest using tractors in the city of Rennes in response to the government's agricultural policies.


The protesting farmers argue that they are burdened with excessive regulations in the context of their agricultural activities.

According to local reports, upon reaching the headquarters of the Brittany Regional Council, the farmers spread straw in the parking lot and scattered official documents.
SOTT Comment: Footage of the protests taking place across France, not just in Brittany:

Later, the farmers proceeded to the front of the regional directorate of agriculture and forestry with their tractors, where they spread grass.

According to a statement from the Rennes police on the social media platform X, the farmers conducted the protest using 100 tractors.
SOTT Comment: Whilst the French are famous for their readiness to protest, as we've seen elsewhere in the West, there is a concerted attack on farmers, and the food supply more generally, and it's only a matter of time before totalitarian legislation comes for France's farmers; as the following analysis from John Lichfield in TheLocal.fr details (https://www.thelocal.fr/20231207/opinion-french-farmers-signpost-protests-indicate-a-major-clash-on-the-horizon):


French farmers' signpost protests indicate a major clash on the horizon

If you're in rural France you might have seen village signposts turned upside down - rather than a simple prank this is a protest from young French farmers which could, writes John Lichfield, be the start of a major clash between farmers, environmentalists and the government.

Normandy has been turned upside down. So, it appears, have large parts of France.

In my corner of Calvados almost all the name signs at the edge of towns and village have been unbolted and replaced the wrong way up. A scribbled sign beside the road announces: "Nous marchons sur la tête." (We are walking on our heads).

Is this the action of a night-time gang of rural surrealists? Does it announce the return of the Gilets Jaunes?

No. It is part of an agricultural "rebellion of the signs" which started in the Gard in south-eastern France two weeks ago and has spread like a prairie fire across the country.

The protest, devised by Jeunes Agriculteurs, the young farmers organisation, warns of more disruptive action to come if the government does nothing to address a thicket of agricultural grievances.

French farmers protesting? How unusual.

Actually, it has become less common than it used to be. Farmers have been relatively quiet for several years. They snubbed the Gilets Jaunes protests which began in rural and outer suburban France five years ago.

The government evidently takes the threat of a farming revolt seriously. The Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne met agri-union leaders on Tuesday and caved in instantly to two of their main demands.

Farmers were supposed to pay out €47 million next year in increased licence fees for pumping water from the ground and for pumping pesticides and other chemicals into it. Those provisions have now been cut from the 2024 national budget before it even passed through parliament.

Other grievances remain. Farmers are furious, inter alia, about an unratified EU treaty with South America which would bring cheap Brazilian and Argentinian beef into France.

They also complain about the rise in the price of agricultural diesel fuel (on which they already pay much reduced tax) and delays in the payment of the EU subsidies (of which France receives €7.5 billion a year, more than any other country).

Most of all they complain that France has no clear strategy for balancing the needs of farming and an ecologically friendly future.

Philippe Bardy, leader of the main agricultural union, the FNSEA, in Tarn where the upside-down protest began, said: "Government wants us to change the way we farm; it also urges us to produce as much as possible in the name of food sovereignty. They pressure us to keep salaries high; they also demand that we reduce prices to calm inflation."

He has a point. Successive French governments for seven decades (with one or two exceptions) have pursued a schizophrenic, or hypocritical approach to farm policy.

They have paid lip-service to "family farms" and "France's exceptional food quality". They have allowed or encouraged EU subsidies to be weighted towards the intensive, chemical-drenched cereal farms and large agri-food industries which make France one of the world's largest mass exporters of food.

Farming unions are also to blame. The once dominant union, the Fédération Nationale des Syndicats d'Exploitant Agricoles (FNSEA), has traditionally been dominated by the cereals interests which have turned swathes of northern France into a green desert. It has resisted any radical shift in EU subsidies away from large farms to small.

There were 750,000 French farms at the turn of the 21st century. There are now around 450,000.

Despite this steep fall in numbers, two out of five French farmers earn less than €4,500 a year. Without subsidies from Brussels, tens of thousands of them would make a loss.

One of my neighbours in Normandy happens to be president of the Calvados beef farmers. He once explained to me the economics of what, for France, is a big-to-medium farm with 280 animals.

Daniel Courval and his wife Christine make €25,000 profit from two people's annual work but the farm receives €50,000 in subsidies from the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP.) Without them, they would make a €25,000 annual loss, and there would be no farm.

This fragile world is threatened by two new-ish factors. More than half of France's remaining farmers are over 50 years old and will retire before the end of the next decade. There is, so far, no clear national policy for encouraging would-be young farmers to replace them.

Farming is the second biggest source of carbon emissions in France after transport.
SOTT Comment: As detailed (https://www.sott.net/article/486533-Unusually-large-Southern-Hemisphere-ozone-hole-baffles-scientists) elsewhere, Co2 emissions have nothing to do with the Earth Changes occurring on our planet. Furthermore, Earth has entered a cooling phase, and the impact of this shift on food production, as it is currently practised, will be deadly: Leading Russian polar scientist: Cooling begins in 2030...Climate crisis a 'Globalist Scam' (https://www.sott.net/article/486655-Leading-Russian-polar-scientist-Cooling-begins-in-2030-Climate-crisis-a-Globalist-Scam)
Agriculture is supposed to reduce its greenhouse emissions such as methane- a large part of which emanates from the front and back of cows - by 16 percent by 2030.
SOTT Comment: And what of humans who eat the WEF-endorsed vegan diet which causes them to emit 7-times more 'emissions' of their own, when compared to meat eaters?
Beef production is falling but beef-eating is increasing again. The government wants France to produce more of its own food. This implies more intensive farming; the ecological transition implies the opposite. French farmers detest the idea of imports from countries which impose weaker environmental constraints than the EU.

Emmanuel Macron claims, with some reason, to be a farm-friendly President. He has promised to fight post-Brexit cuts in the EU farm subsidies. He is refusing to sign the Mercosur - South American - trade treaty in its present form.

But his government has skirted around or paid lip-service to solving the contradictions listed above, between productivity and ecology, mass-production and quality production, family farms and cheap food. So, until now, have the big farm unions.

At some time before the end of the year, the government is expected to address these issues in a "farming pact" or "orientation law for the future of agriculture.|"

If it fails to grapple with the core of the problem - and possibly even more so if it does - rural France could be turned upside down for real next year.

Some interesting news from across La Manche, courtesy of Angirfan (https://aanirfan.blogspot.com/2023/12/sacked-bernard-emie.html?m=1):

"Sacked - Bernard Emié

Related to the Gaza war, France has suddenly fired the chief of its major foreign intelligence agency, the DGSE, equivalent to the CIA or MI6.

This is the agency portrayed in the popular television series 'The Bureau' (Bureau des Légendes)*.

Sacked was Bernard Emié, "former French ambassador to Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, and Algeria, and the French Foreign Ministry’s chief policymaker for the Arab world for several years before he was appointed to run the DGSE in 2017'.

Emié had cautioned that the interests of France are greatly endangered by aligning with Israel and the USA ...

France can possibly be cut off from Arab and African oil and energy supplies, and most of its container imports transit through the Red Sea and Suez Canal.

But Emié was also blamed for the increasing loss of French influence in Africa, its spy networks being broken up by increasingly angry French-speaking former colonies, and for weak intelligence re Russia and Ukraine.

The new head of DGSE is Nicolas Lerner, former head of French counter-intelligence DGSI, and "a childhood friend of Macron" with, however, "no direct Arab experience".

Translation of the screenshots above

——

Good morning, Rafael. I saw your last video about blacks in Europe. I want to give you some information as a Spanish teacher in France and what I have lived for 5 years teaching these students here.

French classrooms are full of Moroccan, Algerian and African children (countries like Congo or others).

My first class at a vocational training institute in 2018 were ALL Africans, mostly Arabs from Algeria and Morocco.

They didn't sit down, they talked, shouted, insulted and would not put aside the mobile.

I was the whole class asking them to please raise their hand to talk, to put away their phone, or that in class they could not paint their nails.. 18-year-old students

and already born in France but with a "culture" (to call it somehow) that has nothing to do with the French one.

In these years I have had (like all French teachers) different professional and personal crises due to what was lived with this type of students. I have thought that I studied to teach not to be a prison jailer, that I wanted to give classes to pre-university teenagers, which were supposed to already know how to read and write correctly and had the ability to fulfil the MOST BASIC precepts of education, I have had to manage my fear. In these years I have seen hospitalised teachers, news of beheading, others who have been beaten by parents or threats with knives, a raped teacher, etc, etc.

Macron changed the laws so that these individuals pass the course without passing. Here they cannot repeat the course because according to the government, it would be too expensive. Imagine what our old C.O.U is, which is called a terminal here. They have had to organise classes just for them. Courses where it's a hell to work, and the teachers ended up exhausted. Every day sanctions for lack of discipline. It's crazy.

I have been insulted by 12-year-old girls ... mother****er, for example.

I remember that one of the mothers of one of the Moroccan girls who called me a daughter of a bitch, came to see me and as soon as she entered the door pointing her finger at me, she told me that she was going to report me, if someone in my time had done something like that the child would be punished all year. The principal of the school was Moroccan and stood in favour of the mother proposing a sanction for me for questioning her daughter's education.

I could tell you how I have lived the screams in my classes of ‘France is Muslim!!’ With all the girls howling (the typical squawking of Arab weddings) at the same time as hitting tables and chairs.

I can tell you how I have seen teachers crying, and 10-year-old French students with a lot of fear and with anxiety crisis for receiving beatings and school bullying by .. always the same. Of 100 disciplinary files, 95 are always the same.

I can tell you many things... but what worries me the most is one, Spaniards don't have children.

The French have Rafael children, and in the university classes, engineering or bachelor's degrees, there are In majority French students. It is rare to find a 40-year-old French woman without (at least) two children already.

In most public classrooms and in careers such as social work or 3-year degrees, the students are half Arabs and half French and in some cases mostly Arabs, especially in private careers, where you pay to pass and you do not need to use your intelligence.

I am the only one with children of my Spanish friends (between 40 and 50 years old), I mean those who are still in Spain. French women begin to be mothers at most at 30-32.

I don’t want to imagine Spain in a few years.

When I came in 2012 and told my Spanish friends that I couldn't go to a bar because there were only men and that I was living in Morocco, they didn't believe me. Complexed by New Age indoctrination, they told me that I was very negative, that I had to see the positive side of being in France (as if it had been a personal choice and not a job need), that we are all equal and that I had to be positive. I cried to see what France had become at that time and also to see that my freedom had been stolen since I chose to be able to eat in exchange for not being able to go out to certain places at certain times. I'm talking about 2012.

Then my friends and my family in Spain they began to criticise me because they thought that I had become a racist and extreme right-wing... over the years and the boom of occupying other people's houses in Spain, some began to agree with me (without yet being aware of what I have lived here). Nowadays I only relate to French people and that's how you live better, since at least, you're not afraid that someone can hit you, throw you on the ground, spit you out or insult you. Although they are colder than us, the French do have an exquisite basic education.

In all the years I have been living in France, 5 years teaching these "engendros", I can assure you that they do not know how to read or write, nor do they know how to behave or respect anyone other than themselves, I have heard a 10-year-olds say "Before, Muslims did not come to kill whites in Europe like now," in the end. Everyone doing what they are told that will get them paycheques even under the stones, they lie as for a new pay, for example they say that children have autism problems or whatever is needed ti get some money, they also do not know or are interested in their rights (unless it is something related to money) since they do not know how to read and do not want to work on anything other than the sale of hashish and the tricks, they take away the social pay and they would all run away, how are they going to start reading the laws that protect them? Or are they forced if they have not taken a book in their life and boast of it? The only thing they are interested in is to come here and to take all and MAKE IT THEIRS and throw us out, they are interested in reggaeton, the dole and not much more.. and I'm talking about the 3rd generation born in France and they DO NOT MIX.

Hug to you Rafael. I honour your work. I hope that my lived experience has helped you something. Merry Christmas !! And new year 2024.

Rumors are abuzz on social networks, claiming that Macron has deployed an army of 15,000 police officers in response to the fierce farmer protests.

Talk about a full-fledged revolution, but don't expect to see it on the front pages of mainstream TV news.

Text:
🇫🇷 France is engulfed in protests. Roads are blocked, streets around Paris and in the city itself are littered with heaps of manure, and administrative buildings are also littered with it. Protesters burn tires. Emmanuel Macron brought out armored vehicles against farmers.

French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal came out to reassure people and declared to the whole world: “To be French in France in 2024 means to be able to have a prime minister who openly admits his homosexuality.”

And thunderous applause in Parliament.

Remark about the following post fragment:

(...)

French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal came out to reassure people and declared to the whole world: “To be French in France in 2024 means to be able to have a prime minister who openly admits his homosexuality.”

Attal may be ... (fill out as you wish) but he did not “openly admit” his “homosexuality” (PA readers may remember that I reject the use of this medical term to describe people’s love life), but “il assume son homosexualité”: he assumes, stands up for his "homosexuality".

I hope readers will understand that this is a slight, and hence considerable, difference.

The usage of the French language, assume vs assume in the English language. In French ‘il assume son homosexualité’ means litterally that he accept/lives (more than admits)his homosexuality. Assume in French does not have the same meaning Assume (same spelling) has in English. The English word Assume would be translated by ‘Présume’ in French.

France Caves To Farmers As Ireland 'Solidarity' Protests Kick Off (https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/france-caves-farmers-ireland-solidarity-protests-kick)

Sunday, Feb 04, 2024 - 05:45 AM

Two of France's main farming unions on Thursday agreed to suspend protests and lift road blockades across the country after the government announced measures the deemed "tangible progress" in the ongoing revolt against EU 'climate-driven' initiatives designed to wean society off of evil, non-bug-based, carbon-emitting food while China, India, and the rest of the world laughs.

In addition to France, protests have been held in Belgium, Portugal, Greece, Germany and elsewhere. Last week, tensions came to a head in Brussels when farmers threw eggs and stones (https://www.zerohedge.com/political/chaos-erupts-brussels-rubber-bullets-fired-farmers-protesting-outside-eu-parliament) at the European Parliament building, demanding that European leaders stop punishing them with more taxes and rising costs to finance the so-called 'green agenda.'

After French farmers stepped up protests earlier in the week, the government promised on Thursday to extend protections - including better controlling imports and giving farmers additional aid, Reuters (https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/angry-farmers-descend-brussels-take-protest-eu-summit-2024-02-01/) reports.

"Everywhere in Europe the same question arises: how do we continue to produce more but better? How can we continue to tackle climate change? How can we avoid unfair competition from foreign countries?," said Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, announcing the new measures.

In response, France's main farmers union, FNSEA, announced that it was time to lift the blockades and "go home." Arnaud Gaillot of the Young Farmers' union echoed the message, however both unions warned that other types of protests would continue, and they'd be back if the government doesn't make good on their promises.

Meanwhile in Ireland, farmers began protesting Thursday evening.

"There’s a general dissatisfaction with the level of environmental regulation that is being heaped on farmers, the low margins, and (the) resulting low income the farmers have been suffering from for a very long time now," said Cathal MacCarthy, media director for the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association, adding "There will be a great deal of sympathy and solidarity with the aim and ambitions of the protests both in Ireland and on the Continent," EURACTIV (https://www.euractiv.com/section/agriculture-food/news/irish-farmers-set-to-join-european-demonstrations/) reports.

"They feel they are being regulated out of business by Brussels bureaucrats and Department of Agriculture officials who are far removed from the reality of day-to-day farming," said Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA) President Francine Gorman on Wednesday, ahead of the protests.
The concerns of the Irish beef and dairy farmers echo the concerns of other European farmers who have been protesting for weeks (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02-01/why-farmers-are-protesting-in-the-european-union/103413568).

MacCarthy said Irish beef and dairy farmers also believe they are not being compensated fairly for the agrifood products they cultivate, given the increased costs involved in production as a result of environmental regulations.

“We need senior politicians to face consumers and say, ‘Lads, listen, the cost of producing this food is X, that has to be paid, and the margin that allows farmers to live (has to be paid), but we can’t just be dependent on what the supermarket feels like charging their customers,’” he said. -EURACTIV
"We can either continue to have cheap food, or we can have environmentally sustainable food, but we can’t have both," said MacCarthy.
