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.

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.

Act 7 of YVP in France sees people take down EU flag

Voice of Europe has this to say:

And THIS:

There were a number of major events at MSM buildings on Saturday as well, including a major fire at a French newspaper, Le Parisien, and a TV station. The accusation is easy to assume as its the same everywhere the government-media complex operates.

They misrepresent the protests in size scale and nature in order to try to make it less effective.

The results might be that the protests grow in size and ferocity till its undeniable and the costs in many ways are astronomical. The government-media complex would be responsible if this is the case, as both would have been working against the public and their own stated purposes.

France: Cars burned out next to Le Parisien newspaper HQ

PARIS – in front of the headquarters of the newspaper “le Parisien”

Several hundred people gathered near offices of France Televisions and BFM TV channel shouting ‘Fake news’

“You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.” –

And now we know what happens when you try and fool all of the people, all of the time.

ADDENDUM:

Breitbart’s Fake News awards.

Not sure if I can read them myself as I would get so angry by what I would consider critical omissions. I bet they don’t include various national Canadian news services that invent, spin or outright lie and falsify and change data to suit an obvious narrative of Cultural Marxism and globalism and Islamophelia. But for Americans Im sure it’s a good read.

In the Reader’s Links post the past couple of days there are a lot of stunning videos showing what is taking place in France. It is well worth taking the time to go through them. They are not just random riot videos. Things take place.

This one needs to be seen though. It appears more like a kind of street war between police acting for Macron, a fiat army rather than a law enforcement action, and the public.

French state prosecuting three journalists for showing the mock-guillotine of Macron

After you watch this stunning video on the state of freedom, democracy and journalism in France, not may be worth thinking on two things.

Trump Assassination Play Is Sponsored By The New York Times

and secondly. Im certain you all remember this and the total lack of consequences to her from the state.

Her career may have tanked after this stunt, but that is not censorship. That is what happens when you have a really crappy act.

What happened to these journalists in France, is what the left ACUSES Presidents Trump and Bush (for those that can remember that far back) of doing.

I don’t think we need to subtitle: “Je suis journaliste”

Comparing two symbolic decapitations in Europe

Posted on by

1. French town opens probe after Yellow Vests BEHEAD Macron effigy & put ‘head’ on stake (PHOTOS)

Authorities in a south-western French town are furious after Yellow Vest protesters beheaded an effigy of Emmanuel Macron with an ax, put its “head” on a stake and danced. Now the mock executioners face a very real criminal case.

Around 90 protesters dressed in yellow vests – the symbol of the recent wave of anti-government protests in France – gathered in a park in the town of Angouleme to stage the mock beheading on Friday evening. It’s not clear if the day was chosen deliberately, but on December 21 French President Macron celebrated his 41st birthday.

 

The macabre “performance” quickly spread on social networks and in French media, with photos showing the Yellow Vests literally cutting off Macron effigy’s head with a large ax. If that wasn’t enough, the mock head – with a mask of the president’s face – was then placed on a stake. The protesters then proceeded to dance around a burning barricade after apparently setting the rest of the “beheaded” effigy on fire.

Is that a paper photo?

Ok so a criminal case is underway for people who attacked a piece of rubber and maybe cotton and maybe some wood.

2. UK: Baby Jesus beheaded in Ilford

A nativity scene has been “destroyed by idiots” outside the Christmas tree in the High Road.

The statues were installed and paid for by the British Pakistani Christian Association (BPCA) to remind residents about the real meaning of Christmas and while the Virgin Mary and Joseph were smashed, the infant Jesus got decapitated.

 

One resident, who is not religious, reported the crime to the Recorder and described the incident as “religious desecration”.

“It is three days before Christmas and this happens,” she said.

 

“Any other religion and there would be an outcry and it would have been fixed already.

“It is a desecration of a religious icon – I am disgusted.”

She reported the incident to Redbridge Town Hall but claims they refused to deal with it as it was not their nativity scene and were about to go to lunch.

 

Wilson Chowdhry, chairman of the British Pakistani Christian Association said he is shocked that someone would do this and all his organisation wanted to do was install a reminder in the town centre about the true meaning of Christmas amidst all the commercialism.

“Unfortunately we will not be able to get another one in time for Christmas but we won’t be stopped by some idiots,” he said.

And in this case, no criminal charge and the response by authorities was, “we are about to go to lunch”. Which is a very British way of saying what has probably become the most common 2 words in the english language, the second one starting with ‘O’.

Selective enforcement is the main tool of the tyrants. Maybe, just maybe if I say it enough….

Yellow vests try and storm Euronews:

Wouldn’t it be great to find out why? I know why I would. Will look for the explanation.

What the heck is the projectile in that twitter video that slams into the ground near the bikes?

Here is a screen cap of that moment:

 

Here is a better video of that moment. Watch full screen. Looks like several scooters, a large potted plant and I dunno, an RC airplane?  crashes into the police.

UPDATE: I think I missed the point of this video. It actually shows a Paris cop drawing his firearm at protestors. If this gets well known, I cannot see this going well for the administration of France.

More to come of this today

Woman on French TV makes extremely important point

Posted on by

I would like to elaborate a tiny bit on this point.

If I was a teenage Muslim boy living in say, Saskatoon. And my government, the one my parents adopted when they ran away from some Islamic sh*t hole to come to peace and prosperity and tolerance in Canada, kept lying to me about my own cultural inheritance.

Instead of telling the obvious truth, which would explain why my parents had moved from one of any number of Islamic sh*t holes to Canada, that Islam is barbaric and destroys any place within which, it takes root, just like communism and for pretty much all the same reasons, it lied to me saying it was, to quote the leader of a British National Socialist party, “A kind of Curried Christianity”.

That it was really just the same as everything good about Christianity or Judaism and who would I believe, Trudeau, Obama etc. or my own lying ears.

Of course I would go to a mosque to find out and read Quran etc. The end result could easily be that the teen could easily become a terrorist or jihadi, because all he knows about Western governments is they lie right to his face about his own culture and religion, without even showing him the respect to make up his own mind given the truth of the matter.

So this woman’s outrage is well justified. The French, and leftist strategy overall, is to lie to Muslims in the West about who and what they are and hope it takes.

I would be pissed off if I were they as well.

It also goes a long way to explaining this:

Muslims in Europe Becoming Less Secular, More Radical

Professor emeritus of the University of Louvain, Felice Dassetto, has claimed the number of secular Muslims in Europe is in steep decline and more are becoming radicalised.

Professor Dassetto said the secular world and its values are becoming less attractive to contemporary Islam and that Muslims are turning toward more reactionary forms of the faith, Il Giornalereports.

 

“There is a bit of disaffection, but there is no mass abandonment of the faith, the phenomenon affects at most 10 to 15 percent,” Dassetto said, noting that at least 80 percent of Muslims across Europe now claimed to be religious.

 

Dassetto also noted that Friday prayers in various mosques were seeing more younger Muslims participate and noted that younger Muslims, particularly those in poorer areas, were far more prone to radicalisation.

(Friday prayers are the ‘most important’ ones of the week where they get down to serious hate preaching and demanding jihad and conquest)
