My, my. I didn't expect to see this for years, perhaps not in my lifetime. And here we are.

This has been building for some time, and it isn't about prices at the pump. Refer if you please to This Speech. It reads, in part:

The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive. Do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at any cost? Do we have enough respect for our citizens to protect our borders? Do we have the desire and the courage to preserve our civilization in the face of those who would subvert and destroy it?

It has been 18 months since that speech. Something is moving, and it's very big.

And not a peep from the globalist gaslight presstitutes.

Reminds me of the attempted Foreign Legion coup attempt against Charles de Gaulle in 1961 (I’m that old) with Edith Piaf singing

“Et non, rien de rien, et non, je ne regrette rien...”

This is an uprising not seen since then, not even like in 1968. When the French police fire on les gilets jaunes, then it’s civil war. Entre le regime et des musulmanes, it’s a war between the elites and the citizens. But just as in 1944, the guns will appear and they will be used.

Vive la France libre!

I would add a third group onto the movement...since that civic duty mandate was handed out this week in France (mandating 16-year old kids are now in some conscription service)....that has been taken in a negative way. So you also have this vast group of 14 to 18 year old school kids joining up with the street hoods and the Yellow Jackets. Potentially, as the Macron government is handing out these various mandates....they are simply creating wave after wave of new participants in the protest deal. There might be some quiet period coming up at the end of the month for Christmas....but it’ll hype back up by New Years.

It’ll be curious if this goes into other countries (suggesting a problem for the EU election in May 2019).

The nationalist movements in Europe are not the stirrings of proto-fascists, or due to hatred for refugees. Certainly there is some of that sentiment present and it is worrisome.

Hey Rick, you're a stupid cuck.

Not exactly. I’ve seen a few try to blame this on Putin. Ha ha.

Maybe this is why Frau Merkel was making noises about an “European Army” - probably to serve in a capacity much like OMON does in Russia.

Ambulance drivers and cops joined the protests yesterday. Streets were shut down with hundreds of ambulances blocking them and the medics supporting the protests.

There is a list of 8 demands and they’re all good. Freepmail me so I remember if you want me to post them.

And Steve Bannon has been in Europe for a while, talking to various oppo leaders apparently. He was for sure talking with Marine Le Pen.

Last night, via some Brit broadcast...they had up to around 40 different demands on the table. The fact that there is no central leadership...makes this a wild ‘ride’.

One the demands I noted....earlier retirement ages. That’s a no-go for the Macron government. The pension program is already in serious trouble, so shaving off another year probably won’t happen.

The punk-kid protesters want the mandatory civic duty forced upon them to be lifted entirely.

It’s “quelle horreur”. And sacre bleu isn’t ever said anymore, replaced by “putain de merde”.

The government had been claiming that a fuel tax increase was to blame for the protests...

And a video was the cause of the Benghazi attack.

Good time for Western Europeans to take back their country(s) from the Globalists that are pissing in their shoes.

Thanks for that Trump speech from Warsaw. Here is a link to another great speech made in England in 1968. It's about the dangers of immigration . It is now called the Rivers of Blood Speech
