Paris
is in its 13th week of protests, and according to many on
the ground, there is no end in sight.
Today
a yellow vest had his hand blown off from a type of grenade, while
many protesters have come forward with various wounds, including
rubber bullets blinding some, and hospitalizing many, over the last
three months. Tear gas fills the air on a daily basis, while Macron's
police are becoming more aggressive, and unrelenting in their
violence.
Main
stream media has refused to report the Yellow Vest protests except
for today's major violence. Rather most corporate media, have been
promoting Venezuela, a country under a “socialist dictator”, and
the people, “starving”. This is absolute propaganda, as the
majority voted Maduro into office., and their economic woes are
mostly due to the US and other countries drastic sanctions, adding to
a downturn in oil price's., the country is hurting. But Venezuela's
streets are not filled with violent protesters, nor is the government
moving in their violent police force to combat the “unrest”.
Venezuela is doing fine despite US propaganda to the contrary;
France, however, is in strife, because the people are tired of taxes
on the poor, while giving the wealthy all the breaks. This is a
global phenomena. People are doing without the basics while the 1%
get richer. The French people are saying enough is enough. And,
really, I believe, should the rest of the world.
The
corporate MSM will not cover these important demonstration in France,
because they are part of the 1%; choosing to keep us in the dark, and
feed us distracted rubbish.
It's
quite incredible, really, that when ever the Left bring up social
issues, health care. etc., the response from the Right is always,
“How are we going to pay for that?” Another important issue from
the Left is the minimum wage or “Living Wage”. The response is
the economy would suffer and unemployment will rise. This is also
untrue. Many developed countries around the world have a living wage
for all workers, and their respective economies are doing just fine,
thank you. The elite are telling the people lies, couched is
anachronistic propaganda, (socialism is evil) to maintain their own
money and power. When it comes to war, though, never is there a
question of how are we going to pay for this. Wave the flag, call
everyone against war, a traitor, and off we go. It is totally insane.
The
French people have the right idea, have recognized the problem, and
are doing what the common people do: protest injustice against
tyranny.
In
this case, similar to 250 years ago, the elite are amassing wealth on
the backs of the worker. And the French responded with a violent
revolution. There are better methods than violence to bring about a
more fair and equal society.
Then
again, what will it really take.?
