Now into its FOURTH month, the Yellow Vest protest movement in France shows no signs of going away. Despite some financial concessions from Macron's government to French workers, the popular cry remains On ne lache rien! ("We're not letting go"). This weekend, French security forces were again directed by the government to violently suppress the protests in Paris and other major cities.

On this episode of NewsReal, French SOTT editor Pierre Lescaudron joins us to discuss the deeper historical, economic and cultural reasons behind the persistence of this movement, and why the French establishment is so vehemently opposed to it.

I don't need the stars to know that this is going to turn ugly for Macron, by summer he's finished! Why do i know this? In warmer weather people are more active, get hot, tempers flare. Expect huge numbers by then, and really, how long can the French economy afford to keep him?

Horoscopes are for men without brains.

And for women, of course. That's why every tabloid targeted at females has horoscopes...

Thank you Pierre, and also Niall for his pointed questions, great analysis of the Yellow Vest movement in France.

As some could call trivia, maybe not, I found the origins and history of the French Revolution communicated by Pierre, most enlightening, not something we read about in the history books of today, where those in power create the history of today.

Makes the words that have been so widely attributed to Marie Antoinette a mockery.

"Let them Eat Cake"

In reality, it could possibly be attributed to two factions that wanted to take control of France., How so little has changed, when one considers ideologies and that awful drive for power by the elites that consumes the lifeblood of the people and the country.

But it is not just power or the sake of power, after all they have most of the wealth of the world, a pathological obsession, for so few people to be in so much control of the resources of the world, there must be something more.... and what that something more is....think on that, for this is the only explanation I can think of

Fools. These are New World Order goons protesting, not freedom fighters. Consider how Marxists drew people in to get their feet in the doors of the "common man". If you are a "common man" who supports the yellow jackets (an approriate term), you have been sucked in. If they win, they will then show their true colors. Details...Details...look at the list of their demands and how they manipulate true markers of freedom mixed with UN initiatives.

A very good watch. "A new scientific study has revealed....." Go f**k yourself.
