Pol Pot and Ho Chi Minh were both taught communism in France.

"More than 200 police officers have been injured, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said, adding that the average age of those arrested was 17."

Teens, yutes.

Yes, there must be something lost in translation there. One might understand it as "Today we're doing our job and the government needs to do their job too. Otherwise we're throwing out the rule book tomorrow."

One kinda hopes that they do, frankly. Not that we'd get much media coverage here in the US.

“For decades, it’s been openly discussed that French leadership is highly insulated and unable to comprehend national problems...”

It’s what you get when wealth sovereigns are running your government. This is why they should be prohibited from government and politics.

Many studies have shown that the children of Muslim immigrants are, in general, more radical than their parents. So this is not a problem that time will take care of.

France might well quell this particular Muslim riot. But there will be another. And then another. Etc.

They do have antifa in France.

But Soros has flooded france with Africans - mostly Muslims.

If France doesn’t expel them from the country when violent, their future is bleak

If you haven’t I invite you (and every FReeper) to read Simon Murray’s book about his five years in the French Foreign Legion in Algeria. It’s called simply _Legionaire._

You learn what it was like to go through FFL basic, go into combat with the FFL airborne, and see how thorough their training was at the start of the 60’s. Also, you’ll read about the Algerian independence effort to make the French give up Algeria, the Pied Noir (Black Feet) that tried to keep Algeria a part of France, and the mutiny of Legion airborne battalion.

I hope everyone finds the book as fascinating to read as I did!

Looked like some antifa mixed in that crowd. Those people are professional riot accelerators.

Nah, they aren’t going to wake up. They are getting ready to house the vermin in some of their historic castles. The new World Order needs chaos and no nation states in order to take over.

Sadly for France they elected Emmanuel Macron when they should have elected Marine Le Pen. Now they are paying the price for that mistake. Well they brought this on themselves. I hope the rest of Europe is paying attention.

They may very well have elected Le Pen.

The DM is blaming the riots on discrimination and a lack of opportunity.

Okaaaaay....

My guess:

Western Europe: We must do more to appease illegal Muslim immigrants.
Eastern Europe: We must do more to keep illegal Muslim immigrants out.

Not likely, she lost by a pretty big margin IIRC.

This chaos is what the WEF need to happen to create their NWO. The problem with those people is that they have no clue and did not plan for the part that their chaos could come back on them. There are just more of the masses than there are elitist demons in castles behind the gates.

Elite narcissists and intellectuals may be great at meeting and concocting plans on paper, but they have no idea how to control the unexpected repercussions that weren’t part of the plan because they rely on people that aren’t one of them to do their dirty work.

‘Macron’ is how you say Newsome in French

++++++++++++

It’s also how you say “Trudeau”. In fact these two swarmy turds remind me of each other. Since there are 3 turds in the above sentences I will be more clear. Trudeau and Macron are the more similar turds. Newsome is just, well a third turd.
