There is a lot going on We are preparing a video of a speech by Maduro threatening and chest pounding. Sassy left this comment but as of yet, no news links to these claims:

Comment:
Russia supports Maduro while Chile recognizes Guaido.

Support for Guaido: Canada – Paraguay – Colombia – Argentinia – Peru – Brazil – Ecuador – Costa Rica – France, also the Church in Venezuela.

Instagram & Facebook removed Maduro’s official Blue Verified check mark.

Guaido has taken refuge in Ecuador’s embassy out of fear for his life. Trump threatens Maduro re all violence.

Thank you Gary, Sassy, M. Richard and all.

Maduro is NOT taking it well.

Spokesman for the Yellow Vests in France, arrested by the state

Posted on by

This is a developing story and so far, the material I have on it is not super clear.

This, along with another highly dubious arrest in France, has taken a fair amount of time and discussions with three translators to make sense of it. It is a simple story and an important one, but not easy to get sense on what is out there so far. So please expect corrections and additions to this post as more information comes in, or more clarity is available.

The first issue, is the arrest of someone widely reported to be a spokesperson for the Yellow Vests in France. The presumption is that these are not licensed protests. You can see how people are reacting at what I think is the Police station, or possibly the home of the arrested, Eric Drouet.

There is an explanatory video I am hoping our translator can look at soon and perhaps we can bring a better explanation. The speaker is one of the top 2 or 3 counter-jihad citizen-journalists in France and highly authoritative on these issues. He himself is a target of the state for being critical of the past and present highly Marxist regimes.

The second arrest is of a man who was part of a crowd. There is video of what I am about too describe but there is, I am told by all three translators who looked at it, four actually, that there is no point in subtitling it.

You have a public official who is speaking to a crowd of YVPs (Yellow Vest Protestors) and he is obfuscating and stonewalling and generally pissing everyone off by failing to say anything of substance to the extent that all 4 translators say there is simply nothing there to translate.

At a certain point, one of the people in the crowd, who is as frustrated as the rest, can be heard clearly saying, “Guillotine!” for which he was arrested and faces up to 6 years in prison for this remark.

It is somewhat hard to know how this can be considered a threat as one would have to run home, build a guillotine, get it back there and get the guy into the thing before any real damage can be done. I suspect it would take some time to build as well. Nonetheless, six years in jail. They may as well have threatened him with dropping a piano on his head or a safe or an anvil. They would be equally difficult to set up to be effective, but yes, I get that France has a history with a guillotine.

To see this video please go to this article:

Please also keep an eye on the comments under this post. Thanks to the amazing talent pool we have at this site, we can be nearly guaranteed of updates and corrections and related events and information as the evening passes.

Also we may have a translated video on the first arrest tonight.

Thank you M, Ava Lon, Sassy, FreeZoxee and MissPiggy and all who contributed to clarity on this post. These arrests may not work out like the state hopes it will, and when you see the translated segments of French leader, Macron, you may understand why. He is not a sympathetic character, nor is he one of the people in any way at all.

In Hollywood they are reputed to say: “What you really need in this business is sincerity. Once you can fake that you have it made”.

Emanuel Macron cannot fake sincerity. I hope to bring evidence of that to you soon.

Eeyore.

Update 1 thanks to Richard:
