Summary Protesters loot stores in Frankfurt Gen Z-led demonstrations follow others across Europe Young people demand better education, lower living costs Some shops along Berlin's Kurfuerstendamm board up windows

The Brave New World where the police are the useless. Shopkeepers in Paris are stocking up on iron bars, batons, tear gas canisters, pepper spray, and baseball bats, all in anticipation of more mob violence and looting. After the events of the past week, they no longer trust that the police will adequately protect them, and are determined to defend themselves. Firearms are illegal, but that has not prevented some people from taking a risk and stocking up on guns. More on this, the first battle of what some French commentators have called a “civil war,” can be found here:...

Strikes and blockades by truckers in Southern Italy this week have left many supermarket shelves bare. Those strikes and blockades in the south were matched by protests, which turned to riots in the north. Both movements were protesting the same issue: affordability. In the north, students marched against low wages, high taxes, and quickly rising grocery and fuel costs. In the south, farmers and truckers have blockaded ports and highways in protest of those same high fuel costs. The high costs are associated with fuel shortages stemming from the war in Iran, and, on Thursday, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s...

France is on fire. Cars torched, city halls ablaze, hundreds of police officers injured, businesses looted, and the media still calls it “student protests.” It is nothing of the sort. It is a calculated campaign by organized, well-financed hard-left networks to sow anarchy across Western civilization. And according to Issues & Insights, the Democratic Socialists of America already have the playbook to bring the same chaos here. DataRepublican, the Pentagon analyst turned online investigator, has obtained thousands of transcripts and hundreds of recordings from DSA-aligned strategy sessions. The public pitch is familiar: abolish the Senate, impose term limits, dismantle constitutional...

It's always a tossup. There's always a 50/50 chance that the terrorist is white dude who loves Karl Marx, or a practitioner of the Religion of Peace™. In this case, it was the former! Local newspaper Le Populaire du Centre says 34-year-old Hodei Docampo Ciarra is accused of smashing the windows of the Limoges town hall before sneaking into the cellar. He reportedly had accomplices, though they have not been named. Ciarra is a known criminal who is on a French terror watchlist. Unfortunately, the police couldn't watch him that closely. They were too busy letting the country burn down....

Is Israel to blame again? French President Emmanuel Macron hinted that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump were exploiting the riots in France for political purposes ahead of the upcoming elections. During a speech in Qatar, Macron referred to "leaders who are in the midst of election campaigns, whether here in the region or across the Atlantic, who are innocently spreading narratives that certain circles are clearly trying to promote," apparently referring to Netanyahu and Trump. Macron added, "They are using our country for their political campaigns. And we don't need that. We already have our own...

Astonishing video shot on the worst day of the current anti-government insurrection shows the confectionery outlet in his home town of Amiens, northern France, surrounded by at least two platoons of CRS police. The elite Republican Security Companies placed their vans in front of the 'Jean Trogneux' confectionery store while leaving others unguarded. It was founded in 1872 by Jean-Baptiste Trogneux, the great-grandfather of Brigitte Macron, Mr Macron's 73-year-old wife. Trogneux is her maiden name. The chocolatiers dynasty is renowned for its macarons, and profits from the sweet treats go to all family with shares in the business. Ordinary police...

The second-hand online marketplace Vinted has removed listings of looted French goods and stepped up checks on "suspicious" adverts, as the country's authorities seek to prevent goods stolen during riots from being sold online.

French President Emmanuel Macron pressed ahead with a trip to the Arabian Gulf as violent riots rocked France, fueling fresh criticism of his leadership as his government struggled to contain the unrest. What began weeks earlier as purportedly student-led demonstrations over classroom conditions escalated into widespread riots involving a range of political and ideological factions across France over the weekend. Images and videos posted to social media on Saturday and Sunday showed groups of men waving foreign flags while engaging in acts of destruction on the streets of France's major cities. A Fox News Digital investigation found that communist organizations,...

The shelves are absolutely ransacked. Glass jars and other items have been ripped off all the shelves and smashed on the ground. Yet the looters didn't steal (or even touch!) the ham, bacon, or other delicious pork options in the refrigerators. The looters also avoided the toilet paper and tissues on the other side of the store.

France's streets burned, shops were looted and stripped bare and a historic town hall collapsed under arson. Yet the most striking images from Saturday night were not the fires. They were the people who carried on as if nothing was happening.One woman jogged straight through thick black smoke past a burning barricade, treating the chaos like an outdoor treadmill session.Groups of French boomers kept dancing while buildings were torched around them, and a tour guide was filmed continuing her routine for visitors, smiling and pointing out landmarks while flames literally engulfed the city right in front of tourists.?French locals prefer...

🚨 ABSOLUTELY SICKENING. WHAT KIND OF COWARDS DO THIS TO THE ELDERLY?! 😡🇫🇷 An elderly couple in France was reportedly robbed, stripped down to their underwear, and left humiliated in the street amid the unrest. Imagine living eight decades, only to find yourself surrounded by people who apparently see two defenseless elderly citizens as easy targets. These aren't revolutionaries. They're not freedom fighters. They're thugs. And let's be perfectly clear: There is NOTHING brave about terrorizing elderly people who cannot defend themselves. Protest is a right. Robbery, intimidation, and humiliating innocent people are CRIMES. Every one of the thugs responsible...

The European anarchy has set the stage for a particularly disturbing scene in Milan, Italy, as one of Christianity's most recognizable landmarks became the backdrop for violent unrest. Flames rose from makeshift barricades, fireworks exploded, and thick smoke filled the square outside Milan Cathedral, the magnificent Gothic church that has stood at the heart of the city for centuries.Italy like France. Outside Milan Cathedral. A symbol of Christianity under siege. Fires, clashes, and devastation beneath its spires. This is no celebration — it is a collapse. They are burning the heart of Milan while everyone watches and records it. This...

The French government has accused the far-left of stoking the riots that engulfed the nation on Saturday, resulting in widespread clashes with police, looting of shops, as well as vandalism and arson of government buildings. What began last month as a small protest over teacher shortages at a school in the Créteil suburb of Paris has become a full-on national revolt, with various leftist unions and other organisations also taking to the streets in cities across the country on Saturday, with an estimated 550,000 demonstrators. At a press conference in Paris, Minister of the Interior Laurent Nuñez said that unlike...

First it was global worming. Then it was Palestine. Then western Sahara. Now burn down France.

Demonstrators and riot police clashed in Albania's capital on Wednesday in a second straight day of violence triggered by student protests calling for better university conditions and Prime Minister Edi Rama's resignation. Over several hours police deployed water cannon and tear gas while demonstrators targeted a government building and shops in Tirana, smashing windows and on at least one occasion setting a building on fire. Riot police have routinely attempted to push back the crowd of hundreds, also using tear gas, after street violence overnight left 16 people arrested. Demonstrators threw projectiles, including paving stones and petrol bombs, set fire...

“To the French police officers I say: you are the last bulwark. If you give way, it will be great disorder. It will be the victory of the barbarians. Be proud of your uniform." So said Philippe de Villiers, member of the European Parliament and founder of the Puy du Fou theme park in Vendée, which is centred around the history of France. How much truth in so few words. Thousands of police officers place their bodies between the horde that sets fire to everything it finds, prevents residents from going down into the streets in safety, and forces thousands...

"Tell me who Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was," Yura, a character in Vladimir Sorokin's short story "The Red Pyramid," asks a man who mysteriously appears at a train station. The stranger responds, "The man who called forth the pyramid of the red roar." The pyramid, the man continues, is the "source of the endless red roar." Visible to a select few, it "emits a different kind of sound wave" in order to "infect the world to destroy mankind's intrinsic structure." Sorokin, a modern Russian writer, who in this short story takes on the subject of communism and its legacy in modern...
