The company said on Thursday shipments were blocked at La Mede, Donges, Normandy and Dunkirk, but added it continued to make sure petrol stations were supplied. It added its refinery site at Feyzin was not affected.
Comment: It remains to be seen whether supplies will be interrupted, because strikes just a month or so ago caused shortages in some regions, as well as long queues and panic buying.
A CGT union representative for TotalEnergies said strike participation across French sites was around 60%.
Comment: France's protests aren't solely about the raising of the retirement age, because over the past few months much of Europe has seen a surge of strike action and protests, across various industries and professions, and in record numbers - with two of the more recent events recording well over a 100,000 people in Spain, and 1 million-plus protesters in France. And it's likely that this is just the beginning of the societal upheaval; which makes other related incidents, such as the terror attacks in Spain, all the more suspect: In one day: Machete-wielding 'terrorist' storms churches in southern Spain; Pensioner 'terrorist' arrested for sending letter-bomb to Spanish PM

An H2A rocket lifts off from Tanegashima Space Center in Kagoshima, southern Japan Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023. Japan on Thursday successfully launched the rocket carrying a government intelligence-gathering satellite on a mission to watch movements at military sites in North Korea and to improve natural disaster response as part of Tokyo's effort to buildup its military capability citing growing threat in the East Asia.
An H2A rocket lifts off from Tanegashima Space Center in Kagoshima, southern Japan Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023. Japan on Thursday successfully launched the rocket carrying a government intelligence-gathering satellite on a mission to watch movements at military sites in North Korea and to improve natural disaster response as part of Tokyo's effort to buildup its military capability citing growing threat in the East Asia.
The H2A rocket, launched by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., successfully lifted off from the Tanegashima Space Center in southwestern Japan, carrying the IGS-Radar 7 reconnaissance satellite as part of Tokyo's effort to build up its military capability, citing growing threats in the East Asia.
The satellite later successfully entered its planned orbit, Mitsubishi Heavy said.
The Intelligence Gathering Satellite can capture images on the ground 24 hours a day and even in severe weather conditions. Japan launched the IGS program after a North Korean missile flyover of Japan in 1988 and aims to set up a network of 10 satellites to spot and provide early warning for possible missile launches. The satellites can be also used for disaster monitoring and response.

The Times article is particularly illustrative. "Excluding the pandemic years, 2022 brought the highest excess deaths total since 1951," it claims. What's more, "Covid accounts only for a minority of recent extra deaths" which means "the crisis in the NHS is killing hundreds of people a week".
None of this is true. Or if it is, it's highly misleading.
The error stems, as I've mentioned numerous times both here and elsewhere, from ignoring age-structure - from using the absolute number of deaths, rather than the age-standardised mortality rate. It's the same error the media has been making all the way through the pandemic.
Comment: The facts in the above article that the population in the UK is aging is true and that is the trend in many European countries. Excess death rates among these people are not because of their older age, although it can be a factor that increases the number.
But it is also true that most of those people were vaccinated with a number of doses of mRNA vaccines which are dangerous and can cause heart problems and blood clots. Also, many young people, especially athletes died suddenly from cardiovascular problems and blood clots after receiving an mRNA shot.
Assigning all these deaths to the aging population is just an attempt to hide the genocidal agenda being pursued by our psychopathic establishment.

A police officer stands near the scene where the machete attack took place on Wednesday, Jan. 25 in Algeciras, Spain.
The man attacked clergymen at two different churches - San Isidro and Nuestra Senora de La Palma, around 1,000 feet apart - just after 8 pm on Wednesday evening in downtown Algeciras, a spokesperson for the city said. A source at Madrid's High Court said the incident was being investigated as terrorism.
Police said the attacker had been arrested, and a police source shared footage showing two officers escorting a man in a hooded sports top in handcuffs through a police station. Police have not released details of his name or nationality. Local media, including El Pais newspaper, said he was a 25-year-old Moroccan.
The man who was killed was Diego Valencia, a sacristan at the Nuestra Senora de La Palma church, while the titular priest of the parish church of San Isidro, Antonio Rodriguez, was among the injured and is in serious condition, the Algeciras city spokesperson said.

Customers queue at a gas station ahead of a two-day strike in Naples, Italy, on Jan. 24.
Customers queue at a gas station ahead of a two-day strike in Naples, Italy, on Jan. 24.
A last-ditch attempt by the government to convince unions to call off the strike failed. But some of the groups organizing the protest decided to reduce its duration, signaling some progress in negotiations with Industry and Made in Italy Minister Adolfo Urso.
Still, the strike is a setback for Meloni, who has been on the defensive since the end of a car-fuel subsidy in late December sparked protests from consumers and labor unions. Her government responded with measures to counter alleged price gouging by gas station operators, who in turn decided to strike against what they say is an unfair characterization.
After all, it first appeared in close proximity to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), a major lab that was carrying out research on just such viruses.
Furthermore, it's plain that the virus is not of natural origin.
The Chinese authorities have confirmed that none of the animal reservoirs that a natural spillover event would require have been found, either in the Huanan wet market in Wuhan or elsewhere, despite wide and extensive testing.
The virus was also already well-adapted to humans in its earliest recorded cases, with no signs of the early genetic diversity that such adaptation would produce.
Comment: The case can be made that this originated in the US:
- Over half a million Chinese sign WHO letter demanding probe into Fort Detrick lab, reports suggest
- Did COVID-19 escape Fort Detrick vaccine trial? Evidence that virus originated in US bioweapons lab
- The secret history of Fort Detrick, the CIA's base for mind control experiments and biological warfare

China finished building the Tiangong space station last year.
China finished building the Tiangong space station last year.
As the South China Morning Post reports, new remarks from the European Space Agency suggest the institution is backing out of its longstanding deal to send astronauts up to China's newly-completed Tiangong space station.
"We are very busy supporting and ensuring our commitments and activities on the International Space Station," ESA director general Josef Aschbacher said in a Paris press conference earlier this week, per the SCMP. "We have neither the budgetary nor political greenlight or intention to engage in a second space station — that is, participating in the Chinese Space Station."
Comment: This doesn't bode well for the future of EU-China relations; however, if NATO's proxy-war against Russia in Ukraine is anything to go by, Europe will gladly sabotage its prosperity for the whims of the US:
- Russia to launch mission to rescue stranded ISS crew after meteoroid strike
- Britain's first rocket launch from home soil will put 9 satellites into orbit - UPDATE: Mission fails!

Maricopa County had 4,420,568 residents according to the 2020 census, making it the fourth most populous county in America, with over 60% of Arizona's total population. Historically, it's been a consistently conservative county. Before 2020, the county voted for every Republican presidential candidate going back to Eisenhower's first run.

Comment: Did they give this guy some kind of truth serum? He was spilling ALL the beans!
