The Yellow vest crisis is gaining steam, specially by exposing the hypocrisy of these elite sectors: the media and its journalists and experts, the government and its police, the judiciary and its powerful prosecutors. The Yellow vest crisis makes them completely freaking out and that can be clearly seen in their reactions. Responding with batons and grenade shots, lawsuits and mass incarcerations, sarcasms, insults and systematic denigration of the movement, all these reactions, worthy of a paranoid state, only lead to exposing, in front of all the French, those so-called elites who, moreover, are thinking that they are social-progressive and are THE rampart against fascism. Totally blind to themselves. The show is quite ugly to see.
Do you see it Macron? The movement is drastically loosing steam
Act 14, Saturday the 15th of February: According to the Ministry of the Interior, 41,500 people demonstrated in France at 7:00 pm. According to a police syndicate, at 3:30 p.m., there were already 230,000 demonstrators.
The police violence
Each new act brings its share of police violence, even if it seems, according to those on the ground, that it is slowing down. The government may be beginning to understand that they cannot discourage the people and that they are therefore counterproductive.
In homage to all the wounded of this popular revolt, here is the most touching video. Fiorina, 20 years old, lost an eye due to a grenade caught in the head while, as she recounts, she was on the sidewalk opposite the hooligans. The CRS did not target the hooligans but those across the street, as she explains. Doctors will soon put a prosthesis to give her back a more normal appearance.
On this video we see a cop throwing tear gas at elderly bystanders not even wearing a Yellow vest.
This one is a presentation of the different victims who have been amputated or lost an eye
In this one we clearly see nurses being attacked with tear gas while treating an injured person.
In this one, a young girl simply sitting on the floor is violently arrested and handcuffed. She will be taken into custody.
And this one, produced by the Human Rights League, shows a collection of treats that the CRS gave to the Yellow vests
This one is a must see because it shows a Yellow vest, which is trying to push other mates to throw stones, arrested by the police. He then says, “No, no, guys, I’m with you”. Of course the police don’t believe him and keep pulling him. An officer arrives, says a few words to them and, then, they simply release the guy. This video shows that the police are blending in with the Yellow vests and trying to stir up violence.
This piece from Le Canard Enchainé, a critical and always well informed newspaper, titled “a communication to break everything” says: “For more than 4 hours Thomas P. broke a bus shelter, banks and insurance companies windows, burned a Porsche and even an empty police car. The breaker was arrested at the end of the demonstration. But why in the end if he had been spotted from the beginning? Because when the police officers who spotted him asked for help from a specialized service, they refused on the grounds that they were too busy elsewhere.” The piece ends saying “It would have been a pity to deprive the Tv spectators of such a show”.
More scenes of police violence:

https://twitter.com/PureTele/status/1097422741911805953
So, of course, as violence attracts violence, sometimes it is the cops who are attacked.
Here too, a police car is being attacked by Yellow vests.
The same scene, filmed from the outside.
But one of the police officers who was in the car said, “They are hooligans. We can see it very well on the video, the majority are masked, we know very well that they are not Yellow vests. We don’t mix it up.”
On the other hand, in this one, we see a CRS who found himself isolated in the middle of Yellow vests without anyone taking advantage of it, despite his very visible fear.
Fortunately, humans also live for love and some even dare to show it to their own torturers. “A yellow hug” as the title of this video says.
However, some heavily wounded Yellow vests have decided to file a complaint for “voluntary aggravated violence by a person in charge of the public authority, in groups and having caused permanent mutilation, and complicity in aggravated voluntary violence against X and against Mr. Delpuech, the Paris Prefect”.
For its part, the European Parliament voted by 438 votes to 78, with 87 abstentions, in favor of a resolution that “condemns the use of certain types of weapons with reduced lethality by police forces against peaceful demonstrators, such as kinetic impact projectiles and instant tear gas grenades”. The name of France was never mentioned during this vote, even though everyone has understood that it is this country they were talking about.
The next day, it is the UN that voted, openly naming France in this case. The organization politely says that the country should “rethink its policing policies”. “We encourage the French authorities to open channels for dialogue in order to reduce the level of tension and to recognize the important and legitimate role that social movements play in governance,” it concludes. As for the anti-hooligans law, passed urgently by the National Assembly, last month, it states: “the proposal for an administrative ban on demonstrations, the establishment of additional control measures and the imposition of heavy penalties constitute severe restrictions on the freedom to demonstrate. These provisions could be applied arbitrarily and lead to extremely serious abuses.”
Before, France had the reputation of being the “country of human rights”. It seems that the Macron government is doing its best to make him lose this title.
Media as a bulwark against the movement
We regularly see Yellow vests invited on the TV sets but the scenario is the same. A Yellow vest against several opponents, who systematically call the movement violent, anti-Semitic, racist, backward and uncultured. These surrealist debates show above all the complex of superiority of these so-called journalists and “experts” and their inability to remain neutral in the debate, as their profession would request it. For example:
BFM – Victoire par K.O d'un gilet jaune à 4 contre 1
C'est encore un étonnant moment de télé que nous offre ici BFM.Ils sont 4 en plateau, dont le présentateur, pour évoquer la violence, la bêtise, l'essouflement et j'en passe du mouvement. Antoine Léaument est seul (youtubeur @Le Bon Sens et responsable numérique FI), mais calme tout le monde avec une simple question de bon sens. Un ange passe.C'est surtout consternant sur le niveau des journalistes vedettes comme Bruce Toussaint, des édictocrates comme Bruno Jeudy ou des "experts" interchangeables qui passent d'un plateau à l'autre.

“Yellow vests are people emotionally on the brink,” says one of the journalists, “they are aggressive, I know it because you see them on TV sets”. “They are the kind of people who give free rein to stupidity, intolerance, ignorance, uh… anything we want…… “, the second journalist insists. This is how the “debate” begins. Then the only Yellow vest present replies that the Yellow vests are there because they can no longer get by economically. At 1mn27 he asked: “Explain me how, in concrete terms, you are doing, with the RSA [a social welfare], to support a family of 3 children”. 10 seconds of silence. He goes on to say “no one knows”.
As a result, some Yellow vests tried to attack the press. A group tried to enter the premises of a local newspaper for the simple purpose of putting up posters and throwing a stink ball to make the newspapers smell like what it is writing about the movement. Others are pushing journalists away during the demonstrations.
This image shows Macron’s links with the bosses of the French press, which are the richest French, who also run all the polling institutes, and explains why he was elected thanks to this same press and that he continues to be supported by it, even if he regularly complains to the contrary.
After calling the Yellow vests far-right hordes, then hooligans, the press is now trying the black sheep of anti-Semitism. Suddenly and simultaneously, the word “Jew” appeared on the front window of a Parisian bakery specializing in bagels, then swastikas in an Alsatian cemetery, then a French writer of Jewish origin, who openly displayed his hatred of Palestinians, was called “fucking Zionist” but the media preferred to hear “fucking Jew”. These miscellaneous facts was immediately overhyped and presented as if they endanger the country and its inhabitants. A demonstration, gathered mainly by politicians, has been held in Paris to protest against “a resurgence of anti-Semitism not seen since the Second World War” according to Macron’s own exaggerations. The next day he took the opportunity to propose a resolution stating that anti-Zionism was considered anti-Semitism, i.e. that criticizing the Israeli state, the only apartheid state in the world, would be considered a crime. This amounts to calling someone who criticizes Gabon’s politics a racist. Totally ridiculous… All this has nothing to do with the Yellow vests movement and yet the TV channels cannot help but make the confusion, especially since those who screamed “fucking Zionist” wore them, so it is for them proof that the Yellow vests are anti-Semites, therefore unfortunate extreme right-wing people, therefore dangerous villains that should not be supported. And who knows if a good diversion could make you forget these Yellow vests, which are definitely too visible in the media. It may well be that we soon see the few Yellow vests invited being permanently banned from the media landscape.
Because the government’s great fear is that the passive population, the 55% of French people who support the movement without participating to the demos, will finally join them, and it will no longer be 200,000 demonstrators but millions who will take to the streets. So they have to do everything they can to make them lose credibility before that happens, and the press does it wholeheartedly.
Two-tier justice
On February 12, the Prime Minister proudly announced these figures: “Since the beginning of these events, 1796 convictions have been handed down by the courts and 1422 people are still awaiting trial” (…) “more than 1300 immediate appearances have been organized and 316 people have been placed under arrest warrants”. Just for demonstrating against the government. This is what can be called an expeditious justice. But it is above all a biased justice because:
A baker, not a demonstrator, was immediately taken into custody for refusing to sell bread to a police officer during a Saturday demonstration. The baker says he refused the sale because the policeman came into his store armed. The policeman denies it. Anyway, it’s immediate custody for him while Benalla is still free, tanning in Morocco.
Expeditious justice, he was sentenced two days later, for this serious crime, to 70 hours of community service, 10 days during when he will have to close his bakery. Meanwhile, Benalla still has time to maintain dubious commercial relations with a few Russian and Chinese oligarchs.
As for the boxer of CRS, Christophe Dettinger, he was sentenced to 1 year in prison and 18 months suspended, just for boxing a CRS shield. Ultra-fast condemnation here too, as everyone has seen.
In the same week, two criminals disguised as police officers who tried to extort money from the public has just been fined and freed, therefore being able to resume their “work” immediately. This leaves the unpleasant feeling that justice is on the side of thieves and that it is, on the other hand, merciless with poor honest demonstrators.
As for Eric Drouet, one of the initiators of the movement, the prosecutor has asked for a month in jail and a 500 euro fine for “organizing undeclared demonstrations”. However, these demonstrations do not have any organisers as they are spontaneous and spread throughout France. Eric Drouet is arrested almost every Saturday.
For throwing potatoes during a demonstration, this farmer Yellow vests was given a 6-month suspended sentence and banned from going into town. Come on, one less Yellow vest on the streets.
So that kind of “justice” inspires that kind of caricature:
It shows some business leaders who are still facing justice with no verdict yet or who got a lenient one; Sarkozy, a former president who is involved in some questionable financing cases, including one with his former buddy, Gaddafi, whom he had made killed to better thank him; a police officer who boxed a few demonstrators to blow off steam; Benalla, top right, dressed as a real/false cop and Christophe Dettinger, bottom left. The question above says: “Among these personalities, which one will go to prison? The answer, everyone knows it since only the Yellow vest boxer will be jailed. The others are still at large (except Benalla, who was still free at the time of the drawing) despite harms far more serious than two punches to very well protected CRSs. France is a democratic country where justice is independent of money and politics, you thought?
Government and politics on all sides.
The disregard of politicians and their poodles for the population, as they panic and lose all reserve, is becoming more and more apparent. They are naked at this level.
Gaspard Gantzer, former communication adviser to former President Francois Hollande [we now understand why the image of Hollande was so bad], probably wanting to be noticed so he could get out of his hole, let loose: “They have the right to demonstrate even if they are stupid! If we did IQ tests before the demonstrations, there wouldn’t be many people!”, while systematically cutting off the floor to his Yellow vest interlocutor that he refuses to hear. As their buddy from the media, they sweat contempt for this lowly rabble not even able to stay quietly at home.
Laurent Wauquiez, leader of the LR party, Sarkozy’s former party, said, “Undeclared demonstrations, demonstrations that are feared to lead to violence, must be banned. And when the rules are not respected, we must bring them to court.”
Macron’s party no longer even needs to attack the Yellow vests, his own political opponents are doing it for him.
Meanwhile, Macron continues his electoral campaign, sorry, his “great debate”, even if two thirds of the French (66%) consider that Emmanuel Macron uses the great national debate in the interest of the European elections but he will not succeed in “turning” opinion around.
As a result, we see this type of observation flourishing, saying “enarques [Those who have gone through the National School of Administration, the school from which the French elites come out] who have accumulated 2200 billion in debt, 6 million unemployed, 9 million poor and who have signed all the deficits for 40 years say that the Yellow vests are irresponsible”. It ends with this sentence attributed to Einstein: “Do not rely on those who create problems to solve them.”
The Benalla case
As for the Benalla case, it is taking an increasingly “mafia” style. While he should be in prison like Dettinger, he is photographed on holiday in Morocco, a newspaper reveals acquaintances with Macron’s entourage, then a new story of a dubious contract worth more than 7 million euros, with China this time, emerges. Then the deputies realized that he lied under oath when he was summoned to explain himself before the Senate. Vexed, the senators seized the case that the justice system left lying around and then, miraculously, a few days later, he has been brought to jail. The senators went so far as to say: “that this was a conflict of interest that endangered the presidency of the Republic and the Republic itself. ». Another senator that “no authority reported the violence to the Paris prosecutor. These dysfunctions give the impression that the Elysée [Macron’s office] wanted to keep events quiet to avoid a scandal”. Yet another senator that “The facts of May 1st [the beating of demonstrators] are now the emerged part of the Iceberg. The rest is much more serious.”
In short, Macron is up to his neck in a state affair that directly affects him and in which he is even involved, since he is necessarily the one protecting Benalla to such a level. It seems that the Senate, the assembly where Macron’s party is not in the majority, intends to deal with it. There is therefore at least one political counter-power that is still a little alive. Will he dare to complete its action?
I wonder because, through its spokesman, the Macron government is pointing out the “many untruths” of the Senate Inquiry Commission on Benalla.
“Which ones?” asked a journalist.
“I don’t know, I haven’t read it,” he replied.
And then to add, immediately after having accused the Senate of spreading untruths, “I am not the type to comment without knowing”.
Frightening to think that such people are heading the country.
How for the Yellow vests themselves, finally? Undisturbed by the rage of their leaders, they continue to demonstrate every Saturday, to propose new ideas, to meet in “constituent assemblies”, to debate on the Citizens’ Initiative Referendum, to experiment with new political systems at the level of villages and communes, to communicate with each other so that the dynamic continues until a true democracy, and no longer the oligarchy it has become, is restored in France.
Le Saker francophone
The clip from the GrandAngle TV program was priceless. Incessantly cackling arrogant media whores instantly silenced for an eternity (several seconds, chatterbox-wise) by a most judicious question which these specimina hardly even understand.
Raw, unmasked elite contempt is a great catalyst for sowing revolutionary ferment. Cher Macron, tu te rappelles du Roi Louis XVI et sa femme?
ah sorry,
all those poor yellow vest crying for having it hard now were blissful
counting euros and dollars while russia and the east were plundered.
now they are complaining when the money from theft is spigotted.
i have to mention it here so it is not forgotten, there was an interesting
commenter on zerohedge few years back who had a very different world view:
while everyone else was blaming and bashing the elites for all the world-troubles
(wars, financial malversations etc)… he was saying that the middle class is actually
in charge, and that the elites are just doing everything to keep the middle class
happy & satisfied. The elites have it all, all the money they ever need, why would they
start wars and trouble and risk loosing it all? No logic, right? So it is all done to keep the
greedy middle class pampered. And it was right about that time, that a video/photo of
John Kerry w/ wife dinning with Assad and his wife was made public. They all seemed to
enjoy that evening, but the later “Assad must go” was purely in the interest of the “ruling middle class”
And i thought, yea this guy is onto something.
@RATM,
I agree that the West’s middle classes/labour aristocracies are the social prop of imperialism, and in the context of the GJ in France I re-iterate my conclusion (posted in mid-January) to the effect that:
Neoliberalism is ditching each and every one of capitalism’s ”progressive” pretensions. The notion that the plutocracy fears the middle class might come true if and when the middle classes dispense with their own cretinism. The GJ could be a case in point.
As I see things, that guy you’re quoting from ZH was onto something, the wrong path!
I was fortunate to visit France just before the Euro came in (around the same time Yeltsin was replaced, bringing an end to the gorging of Russia – which wasn’t done by the “middle-classes” nor for their benefit), and France was an excellent value for money and quality destination compared to the England, Scotland, Norway, Iceland, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and Ireland which I also visited on that trip.
I returned to France regularly for the next 15 years and slowly witnessed the rising cost of everything. Small towns were becoming less vibrant and the general mood was getting noticeably more glum. In 2012, I even had a group of French people come up to me as I waited at a side of the road food stall for my lunch and explain in English how hard life was getting for them, which if you’ve ever been to France is a very unusual event, as a rule they don’t like to speak English and the quickest way to get a cold-shoulder is to ask “Do you speak English” (you’re better off mangling French and then they will ask if you speak English and off you go).
Apart from the increased costs, there was a noticeable increase in homeless people on the street, which I didn’t notice in 1999 on my first visit. I travel by motorbike and tend to take back-roads and avoid large cities.
The elite certainly have more money than they need, and it’s not for the benefit of the “middle-class”. My conclusion is that now they have so much money, it exposes their true desire which is Power.
The French elite have most certainly not lost their spigot for plundered wealth either, their spigot is in Africa much more than Russia or the east, the people of former French protectorates in the Levant are better businessman than their Francophone-African counterparts. There again that plunder is not for the benefit of the middle-classes. The middle-classes are the cattle they milk, the geese that lay them golden eggs, but they’re over doing it and the milk has run dry and the golden eggs are getting smaller – that is why the “elites” are looking for their next play. Hopefully it won’t be another World War, but I think they’re getting desperate and have little creativity, compassion or capacity for constructive change.
They are simply greedy, and I afraid they might be psychopathic.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy
Greed is insatiable, as Aristotle noted, and he was probably not the first to notice it. Greed is definitely one of the prime features of psychopathy.
This principle observation from, more or less, the last time the France had Revolution>
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. “
I do not beieve he was on to anything but total nonsense-“ruling middle class?” Jeez, give me a break.
-It was not the ruing middle class (RMC), if even it exists, that was in charge of the rape of the soviet union;
-not RMC that lied and constructed a non-existent nuclear threat from iraq that caused that country and its civilian populace to be totally destroyed;
-not RMC that destroyed Libya;
–not RMC that works the game in Afghanistan for 17 plus years;
-not the RMC that destroyed Syria;
-not RMC that now threatens Iran and Venezuela with destructive war and has already applied sanctions against both which seriously threatens the health of lower level women and children in those two countries;
-not the RMC that applies these sanctions, the administrators of which are immoral, heartless, and without soul;
-on and on ad nauseum.
Quite frankly, i’m having a lot of trouble discerning any logic whatsoever as to what “this guy” is talking about; the greedy middle class or any middle class not does not exist, thanks to the clintons and the corporate one party system in the us. I do not think it is different in Europe. The corporate press presents views not from any other class other than the elites.
In short, the empire exists and functions for the benefit of the globalists and their MIC; the war economy exists for the benefit of the elites and their massive arms trade, their regime changes, and wars of intervention. The ‘greedy middle class’ exists only to provide cannon fodder if needed and to pick up the crumbs in the way of jobs from the MIC.
Again, ‘this guy’ has totally lost this “other guy.”
Taras77, I totally agree with you. Middle class never ruled. Middles class was just a fiction, which was created to put these people into 95% debt, so they could happily pay the usury for the imaginary property ownership.
Taras 77,
when a sensitive nerve is hit, people tend to get emotional
and have trouble processing what they have read. this is a rule,
i am not trying to belittle you.
of course the “RMC” didn’t do any of those things directly, but those things
were done by the elites in the interests of the RMC.
and i mentioned John Kerry [sidenote: who got some $40+ billions when they sold Heinz ketchup].
What in the world could he ever gain or achieve for himself by demanding “Assad must go”?
[this is a rhetorical question]
sometimes the truth hurts: communists are only capitalists-in-waiting
Well, ok, then.
I think we are talking past one another, maybe as a result of language nuances or interpretations.
Time to move on-I’m done on this one.
Ruling middle class is a silly idea and incorrect. It’s “Les Girondins” ruling and filing their pockets and doing that only for their own kind, this group of French bougeoisie named after the first and most influential bourgeoisie taking the power in France soon after the French revolution.
What would John Kerry have to gain by instigating revolution in Syria? Probably the same thing Jacob Schiff, a very wealthy US banker who headed Kuhn Loeb (among other wealthy sponsors including the US Gov, UK Gov, French Gov, and understandably the German Gov) was aiming for when financing the Marxist Communists Lenin and his Bolsheviks to overthrow the Romanov dynasty in Russia (supposedly an ally for the UK, France and the US whose “ruling middle-class” were being slaughtered by the 10’s and 100’s of thousands per manoeuvre).
That “thing” is the One World Government, otherwise referred to as “The New World Order” (parroted by numerous presidents and prime-ministers from “democratic” countries) e.g. unrestrained power. If that happens there won’t be a middle-class, let along a “ruling middle class”. Only Lords and serfs, and only enough serfs to serve the Lords.
Yet another reason they love population control, wars, eugenics… If they only want lords and serfs, and only enough serfs to serve, they’d need to seriously diminish the world population. Makes me think of the mysterious Georgia Stones in the US.
“sometimes the truth hurts”
Well, this is kind of self-serving and also patronizing.
And as far as I can see your assertions are evidence-free.
I certainly don’t think the “middle class” is a fantasy.
Entry into the middle class has been an aspiration for a couple of generations of Americans, and hundreds of thousands of them were able to achieve this dream. I can’t speak for French society as I am relatively ignorant, , but the French did coin the terms “bourgeois,” “la bourgeoisie,’ “petite bourgeoisie,” “grande bougeoisie,” etc. so I think they had an idea of what they were talking about. Hint: These are social classes.
I very much doubt that *recent* imperial adventures have done much for the middle classes of the USA. Again, can’t speak for the French, but many GJs are pretty articulate on the subject of the deterioration of all of the services etc. that were part of their social contract and that permitted them to lead decent, fairly hygienic lives and enjoy their French life style into a pleasant old age with a pension. These are not luxuries. As pointed out by many GJs, the people have paid for this middle-class lifestyle and expectations. And over the past decade or so it has shriveled. So, whatever the French state has been doing lately, it doesn’t appear to have been for the maintenance of the middle class. At least, not the petit bourgeoisie and not the working classes (not sure whether these are considered part of the middle class in France).
As for John Kerry, what does he have to do with a discussion of France? I must have missed something. Also, it is his wife who has the Heinz $$$, not Kerry. He don’t think he comes from much money. So perhaps he is originally middle class (although as a Bonesman it seems unlikely).
Katherine
The elite is not interested in money; they have it. They are interested in power and control and they are doing everything to exterminate and empoverish the middle classes. Being a Western European of the middle class I have seen us becoming on the verge of not coping anymore with paying mortgage, the completely crazy energy bills, foodstuffs etc.The planned migration weighs on the budgets and middle class pays for it untill there will be no more middle class
So why is it then that the dominant elite policies are causing the middle class to shrink while elite incomes and wealth soar?
I would say that the Yellow Vests are ‘antisemitic’, but I would imagine that Judeophobia is no more present among them than the average French community. The question of definition is vital. ‘Antisemitism’ is a false category, in fact nothing but a device used, more and more, by Zionazi and their Sabbat Goy stooges alike, to vilify, slander, and intimidate anyone who ‘gets in our way’, by supporting the Palestinians and Israel’s other victims and intended victims, or by criticising the apartheid terror-states’s multitudinous crimes, or by criticising the criminal acts of individual Zionazis or groups of the divine creatures, or any other group of neo-liberal capitalist parasites, who become ‘honorary Jews’ for propaganda purposes. It also contains a good amount of pathopsychological projection, as the Zionazis themselves are quite hate-crazed.
Judeophobia, the true category, the hatred of all Jews simply because they are Jews, and with no heed paid to their individual character or true behaviour, is, like all such hatreds, irrational, stupid and morally repugnant. As fraudulent ‘antisemitism’ rises by double-digit figures every year, and should long ago, at that exponential rate of increase, have reached the status of comprising most human actions everywhere, real Judeophobic acts have actually shown no such great increase. This, naturally, annoys the Zionazis who require a universe of hatred and aggression, their natural habitat, to thrive, so they invent ‘antisemitism’, either by faking the figures, or by false-flag actions themselves, as has often been exposed, but surely not in all instances.
Mulga, not to be on your case, but in order for one to be anti-something the other has to be something.
Fabulous reporting thank you for your hard work ……if only someone similar in Venezuela…..
@ French writer of Jewish origin, who openly displayed his hatred of Palestinians, was called “fucking Zionist” but the media preferred to hear “fucking Jew”.
Actually, in the clips transmitted live by TV2 a Gillet Jaune clearly and audibly said “Juif de merde”.
Not true. Please provide link to prove it. Otherwise, you are a troll.
In Finkielkraut’s case a very accurate description. An open, undisguised, racist and class hater-what’s not to worship?
I speak French and I heard it.
I’M FRENCH and i can assure you that IT’S NOT TRUE AT ALL. Period.
The very first person to say that the GJ screamed “JUIF DE MERDE” is M. Griveaux (government spokesman). He was lying, as usual when it comes to protect his masters.
Even “LIBERATION” (a French newspaper), who doesn’t really like the GJ, had to admit (through it’s CheckNews columns) that they couldn’t hear “Juif de Merde”. Nobody else than Griveaux heard “JUIF de MERDE”
For the people who can read French, please, read there :
https://www.liberation.fr/checknews/2019/02/17/qu-entend-on-sur-la-video-de-l-altercation-entre-finkielkraut-et-des-gilets-jaunes_1709882
That’s why the LREM government wanted to adopt a law where “ANTISIONISME = ANTISEMITISME” (translation : “ANTISIONISM = ANTISEMITISM”).
They would not need it to get the GJ to jail if he said “juit de merde” (=racism, against the Law).
They tried all they could against the GJ movment :
GJ are violent, GJ hate Blacks, GJ hate Gays, GJ hate women, GJ are Far Right, GJ are Far Left, GJ hurt French Economy, GJ have got very low IQ and now GJ are antisemit.
I bet that the next news about GJ (next saturday) will be : GJ ate babies on the Champs Elysees avenue during a Black Mass !
‘La France’ raised up in arms to demand punishment (on les punira) for ‘desecration’ of Jewish cemeteries and Jewish bagel shops.
Not a single word about the vandalization and desecration of 10 Churches during the protests of the Gillets Jaunes. Not even a suggestion for the search of the perpetrators. ‘La France republicaine’ seems to remain faithful to the motto of the ‘La Revolution’, ‘Ecrasez l’infame’.
Aw, the wascally wascist yellow vests have hurt the delicate feelings
of the precious snowflakes in the whore of babylon mass media. Is there
anything more loathsome than the sentimentality of mass murderers who
accuse others of racism while their whorish, goebellian propaganda on
behalf of the infernal inquisitors of the Supreme Satanate have killed
millions, instigated unspeakable mass murders, fiiled oceans with
the blood of innocents, incited sanctions against innocent parties
all the while framing the innocent for the atrocities they themselves
have committed? Maybe the yellow vests need another plank in
their demands: nationalization of the mass media so that the brain
rotted syphilitic whores of the mass media are thrown out on their asses
into the street.
The western mass media is an oligopoly/monopoly owned by the 1% and acts in their interests. The traditional state media and commercial media have been politically aligned and now are a propaganda bloc with no discernible difference. Additionally their operations have been supplemented by the secret police apparatus who are deeply embedded in the media structures. In contemporary society the media has taken the place of organized religion promising hell and damnation if the lower orders do not do as they are told. All monopolies are pacts against the people and should be broken up.
Thank you for this article. The elites are falling all over the world. How did they expect to remain on top when those at the bottom and middle of the pyramid who held them up for so long were eventually crushed by the weight of them?
The western rhetoric of denial and blame shifting from the EU and North America is like nothing that I have ever witnessed. If there is anything that they can all agree on, it is Russia’s fault. Hahahaha. They look totally pathetic.
As Spring approaches, I expect to see a doubling or tripling of the Yellow Vests.

Macron: “Benalla was not my lover”
Author: Veronica Doval – last publication: July 25, 2018
Almost a week after a scandal broke out in France around a former employee of the presidential admin-istration, Alexander Benalla, who beat the demonstrators at a demonstration on May 1, Emmanuel
Macron finally commented on the opposition’s accusations pointing to the omission of the Elysée Palace. Speaking at a meeting of the party “Forward, Republic!”, He took responsibility for the situation.
Emmanuel Macron, President of France:
Alexander Benalla never had access to the nuclear code, Alexander Benalla never occupied 300 square meters in Alma Square, Alexander Benalla never earned 10,000 euros, and Alexander Benalla was never
my lover. Alexander Benalla was a porter for one day, but never performed these functions for a long
time.”
In France, the status of Benalla is widely discussed, which in recent months has become almost a “shad-
ow of the president,” and for what services he enjoyed the great confidence of Macron. This is still a mys-
tery for the French. Currently an investigation into the incident that took place on May 1. The prosecutor’s
office has already brought charges against Benalla.
Benalla himself, around whom the scandal erupted, plans to appear in court and the media to present his
vision of the incident. This was announced on Wednesday by one of his lawyers.

i perceive euronews as a British take on the continental affairs (not just love affairs).
so all around Benalla is fake news or better unimportant junk aired to keep the
populace distracted. like Holland’s love affairs before, and Sarkozy’s love affairs/marriage before that.
Frances Kim Kardashians. Enjoy the show.
p.s. Micron Jupiter doesn’t even hold the nuclear codes
People outside of France don’t know this, because it’s never reported, but it is widely, widely, WIDELY assumed in France that Benalla and Macron were gay lovers. This is a huge part of this political affair, even if it is never reported on outside of France.
There is really no other explanation as to why Macron would have given him such latitude instead of immediately firing him. There is no doubt that Macron knew all about Benalla’s crime after crime after crime – Benalla worked for Macron after all.
Just type in “Macron Benalla” into the home page of Google: you don’t see “Macron Benalla corruption”, or “Macron Benalla abuse of power”, you see “Macron Benalla relation” (relationship), then “Macron Benalla amant” (lover), followed by “Macron Benalla amoureux” (in love), and then “Macron Benalla couple (same as english). This is all that France talks about. It’s never reported outside of France.
Good summary of excessive force against yellow vests by brutal police action (scroll down half way):

Faces and eyes are being targeted by relatively accurate rubber bullet guns (rothschilds take a bow).
What’s the bet that these French police thugs are ‘trained’ in Israel, like so many other Western police forces, in techniques honed over decades on the imprisoned Palestinians.
I was unable to play the video.
Maybe because I don’t have a FB account?
