In this episode of NewsReal, Joe & Niall bring you up to speed on the tense stand-off between people and power in France. They also discuss the false choice of believing either that Muslims are 'evil', or that Muslim migrants should be welcomed en masse with open arms.
Finally, they recap US president Trump's battles with the Neverending-War Party over the holidays, specifically his moves to withdraw American troops from Syria and Afghanistan, and the fits of rage this sent 'leftist' Never-Trumpers into...

May I encapsulate for you by means of a metaphor, the essence (if you will pardon the use of that word, as will become clear,) the State of the American Nation and the World. Here it is: The "District of Columbia Water and Sewer Treatment Authority" boasts (and I am not making this up, as you will see if you follow the link) of operating "The Largest Advanced Sewage Treatment Plant In The World", which, no doubt, is necessary to process what emerges from the United States Government, which is located in that city. [Link]
Not only that, but in the finest tradition of George Orwell, this immense facility is not called, if you will, "The Stinky-Poo Plant," or "The Brown Sludge Mecca," or "The Bottomless Pit," no, not at all, indeed, some witty minion of the US Government came up with the idea of naming this depository of all that Washington would like to forget, the "Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant."
This, of course, once you have stopped laughing long enough to consider it, is all of a piece with "America Fighting ISIS," or "America Bringing Democracy to Iraq," or "America Liberating the People of Libya," or "America the World's Policeman," or "America the Beacon Of Peace in the World," or "America the Shining City on a Hill."
The obvious thing you failed to mention in your discussion of Trump's announcement of his withdrawal from Syria, is why America was there in the first place: It was there at the behest of Israel, which wanted Assad removed and punished, for allowing Iran to trans-ship missiles through Syria to Hezbollah in Lebanon, which had thoroughly kicked Israel's fat Jewish ass in 2006 when it attempted (on the pretext that Hezbollah had kidnapped two Jewish soldiers) to invade and seize Lebanese territory up to the Litani River. Why the Litani River? Google a map of "The Twelve Tribes of Ancient Israel" and the territory they occupied, and you will see why Israel wants that land.
They thought they could seize it, as they had seized the Golan heights (and for the same reason,) and drive out the native Lebanese who inconveniently occupied it already. The US House of Representatives in 2006 (and again in 2008 when Israel attacked Gaza) voted a resolution of support for Israel's destruction of Lebanon. The vote was 406 to 1 in favor, with 22 abstentions and six absentees. This will give some indication of how completely Israel controls the US Government. The one contra vote was cast by Rep. Cynthia McKinney, (who did so again in 2008 when the vote was identical, 406 to 1 in support of Israel's massacres in Gaza.) America's involvement in Syria by means of its proxy army ISIS, was because the American people would not countenance another war, and this vile terrorist force was created and put to work instead, to do a Ghaddafi on Bashar al-Assad and satisfy the lust for revenge of the Jews. As the world's psychopathic rulers always, but always, tell themselves when murdering millions of people, "The end justifies the means."
This is the same reason America invaded Iraq. Apart from the fact that Poppy Bush's oil tycoon pals thought they could steal Iraq's oil, which was supposed to pay for America's spending all that money but never happened, the destruction of Iraq and the hanging of Saddam was to pay off Israel for its forbearance in 1991. When Saddam fired Scud missiles on Tel Aviv in that war, Bush Senior extracted from Israel an undertaking not to retaliate, as this would fracture the Arab coalition he had put together to attack Iraq. In return, Bush Senior promised Israel that someday, America would invade Iraq and hang Saddam from the end of a rope. This was all part of the 9/11 plot, which had many benefits for the plotters, including keeping this promise by blaming 9/11 on Iraq and invading it on this false pretext so as to hang Saddam to satisfy the Jews. Second, the Jews finally, after 2,575 years, got their revenge on the Empire of Babylon for enslaving them in 586 BC. They had waited a long, long time for that, but never let go of their determination to exact retribution from Nebuchadnezzar and Babylon, or its descendants even unto the hundredth generation.
( The German people should be very, very afraid. Even if it takes 5,000 years, they will be made to pay for their crimes, over and above the $80 billion they have already paid to Israel in reparations. Although money is supremely important to the Jews, blood demands blood.)
Anyway, as regards the Gilets Jaunes, isn't it interesting how little of these riots is mentioned in the Western media? What I find interesting is that for thousands of years, oligarchs and emperors have believed that they could crush the spirit of independence in human beings, and for thousands of years they have discovered that they could not. Eventually human beings will rebel, often violently, if they have been abused for too long. People are like the humble sparrow, which unlike almost every other bird, cannot be caged. Sparrows will beat themselves to death against the bars of their cage in their determination to be free. But for thousands of years, oligarchs and emperors continue to believe that they have discovered the secret of enslaving the human race. Most of them have vanished from the world, and we do not even know today where their bones lie.
Have you gentlemen ever read the Frenchman Gustave Le Bon's magnum opus, "The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind?" If not, you should get hold of a copy and read it. I believe also it is up on the Web in .pdf format. It should be required reading for everyone who seeks to influence the mass psychology of a nation. Evidently, the bankers' puppet, Macron, was never required to read his compatriot's writings, or he would have understood what was happening in France and nipped it in the bud. One of the more well-known students of Le Bon was Adolf Hitler, who took his insights to heart and made good use of them.
As for what 2019 will bring, it is off to an interesting start, with both Trump and the Democratic US House having stated their opposing positions, and neither one willing to back down and be seen as weak. Compromises could be found, but whether a mediator will come forward to propose them, we do not know. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of government employees are not being paid. Some are working for free, but inevitably some will start looking for other jobs, the longer this continues.
One benefit is that as long as this impasse occupies the chattering classes and the media, the less they will be focusing on how evil Russia is, and how Putin is responsible for everything from flatulence to moldy bread to mosquitoes spreading malaria. I did not fail to notice the Russian flag on your desk. Good for you! Did the stuffed fish behind the Russian flag signify anything? Was that supposed to be the United States of America, gasping for air?
This reminds me of a report I read many years ago, I think it was after ten million people demonstrated around the world against America invading Iraq, which of course did not the least good. (Emperors and oligarchs again.) In parks in Germany, piles of dog-shit were found to have been embellished with little American flags, the same size as the Russian flag on your desk. These days, I think people are too disgusted with America to even indulge in such humor.
Happy New Year to you both, and keep up your good work.

PS: I like your picture of Trump as General Patton. I hope this does not mean he will come to the same end. Patton, as you know, was going to come home to the USA and expose the deliberate and intentional genocide by starvation of German civilians and surrendered soldiers that was being conducted by Eisenhower and Churchill, but he was murdered a week or two before he was due to leave Europe. Trump may be arrogant, a narcissist and a boor, but he does not deserve to die for what he is trying to do for his country, against the best efforts of the Deep State.
