    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    ... Exonerated! In France, One Persecuted Doctor Triumphs Over Covid Repression

    Like Galileo in front of the Inquisition tribunal, the renowned Dr. Christian Perronne defended his right to critique covid-19 treatment to the French Order of Physicians

    Mary Beth Pfeiffer

    Oct 24
    Mary Beth, a prize-winning mainstream journalist and author, broke many of the most important stories of the pandemic and continues her work in this publishing collaboration between RESCUE and TrialSite News.

    Dr. Christian Perronne in Paris on October 10 at an interview for RESCUE and TrialSite News. (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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

    France could go dark this winter

    RT
    Fri, 02 Dec 2022 05:28 UTC

    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

    RT

    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.

    ... Strikes threaten power and fuel supply in France - media

    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.
