NewsReal: Révolution Jaune? France Revolts Against Macron

As the gilets jaune movement continues in France, with protests entering their third week, the French government's response has been to hold firm with proposed increases in fuel and other taxes, and to task anti-riot police with beating back protesters in the heart of Paris. While this movement may also peter out like many before it, the scale, intensity and cross-party grassroots support for the 'yellow vests' speaks to the general discontent with corruption in France, and Emmanuel Macron in particular.

This week on NewsReal, Joe & Niall discuss the violent stand-off between elites and working people in France, the 'Ukrainian' Navy's provocation near Russia's new Crimean Bridge, the latest lunacy from the legacy media regarding the Russiagate affair, and some of the antics at this year's G20 Summit.

"What's the French for 'agent provocateur'?"

'Entrepreneur'. LOL.

Christmas.

Paris '68...[Link] died out when summer arrived and Parisians abandoned the streets for vacances.

Which doesn't necessarily mean, etc.

Highland Fleet Lute 8 months to summer holidays in France. Plenty of protest time.

Surveys of the protesters report that by a large majority they comprised supporters of the far right and the far left. If these grass roots can unify against the elites in the centre then that changes everything.

Ned Ludd Which is why something like this would never happen in the US. Neither side will unite even when they both agree.

prehistoric Actually, we'll never know. The US could unite and we'd never know. This is because we only 'know' what the media tells us, and we know they are liars, all the time.

Ruth Good point (and counter-point). My hunch is that most people in the US are much more united (on most things) than it appears.

The Unz Review had a good summation article on this: www.unz.com/article/les-gilets-jaunes-a-bright-yellow-sign-of-distress/

Such as the first paragraph that mentions these yellow vests are required by law in case of accidents or breakdowns on the highway to ensure the driver is visible etc.
