What happens if a movement like the yellow-vested Gilets Jaunes comes to the USA??  Will it happen? If it does, it's going to be violent as hell.
It's been two years since the protests started in France, and they are still ongoing although the media whether the MSM or the Alternative Media hasn't been reporting much on the continuance of the events.

The Repression of France’s Yellow Vests Has Left Hundreds in Jail — And Crushed Freedom of Protest

By    André Kapsas

Two years since the start of France's gilets jaunes movement, hundreds of arrested protesters are languishing in prison, and dozens are still coping with the loss of an eye or a limb. The Macron administration's brutal crackdown brought a level of police violence not seen in decades — and dramatically reduced the right to protest.

t was like a gory movie, every Saturday on TV, with limbs torn off, people having an eye put out.” For lawyer Arié Alimi, the state response to the gilets jaunes demonstrations was a shocking display of police brutality. The movement protesting Emmanuel Macron’s neoliberal government met with “a level of police violence previously unseen in modern French history,” confirms Amnesty International’s Anne-Sophie Simpere.

When the gilets jaunes revolt began on November 17, 2018, with hundreds of thousands of people taking to barricades and roundabouts across France, ........................

Below is an example of how Muslims go against each other just like Christians fight wars with each other.

There's no religion nor colors and creeds when it comes to the 1%ters.  The people from the 99%ters who think otherwise and go to wars and opt to agree with the conniving elite ruling over this planet, lose their limbs, their sanity and often their lives, as they are nothing more than pawns in the hands of the 1%ters' finely tuned games of greed and superiority.  The elite are far too experienced and far too successful in getting us to hate each other using tools like religion, color,  left-wing, right-wing, liberal, conservative, republican, democrat ... and anything else that ultimately serves their purpose and their purpose alone.

When at least 30% of us come to realize that that is so, there's hope for humanity.  Will that ever happen?  I doubt it.  **sigh**

 Saudi deported Indians for protesting against Narendra Modi's anti-Muslim register
Arab media has reported that Saudi Arabia deported a number of non-resident Indians (NRI) living in the Gulf state for protesting against the highly controversial register introduced by the far-right Hindu nationalist government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Inspired by Shaheen Bagh Protests in India last year, where a group of mainly Muslim women organised a sit-in to deonstrate against the National Register of Citizens (NRC), a number of Indians living in Jeddah are said to have shown their solidarity by holding placards against the proposed registration bill............

With News of Hunter Biden's Criminal Probe, Recall the Media Outlets That Peddled the "Russian Disinformation" Lie [unlocked]
 

The now-validated facts about Hunter are precisely those the U.S. media -- in tandem with Silicon Valley and the intelligence community -- suppressed based on lies.
The revelation that Hunter Biden is being criminally investigated for his business activities in China came on Monday from the investigative target himself, and he predictably and self-servingly depicted it as just a narrow probe about his “tax affairs” by the U.S. Attorney for Delaware. As I wrote last night, that by itself would be significant enough — the documents published in the weeks before the election by The New York Post contained ample information about exactly that matter, yet were widely repressed by a union of mainstream news outlets, the intelligence community and Silicon Valley based on propaganda and lies. But new reporting suggest the investigation has been far broader......

 On reading this article, I couldn't help wondering if down the road, say a decade from now, the companies showering Covid vaccines on us, will face similar fate as Purdue pharma and those enabling their sales of OxyContin.

How McKinsey, the World’s Most Elite Consulting Firm, Helped Turbocharge America’s Opioid Epidemic

By    Luke Savage

The McKinsey & Company’s lethal role in the opioid epidemic may be shocking, but it should come as no surprise. The company is a citadel of America’s amoral capitalist elite, whose only loyalty has always been to profit.

‘US Leadership’—and Other Euphemisms for War

 O yeah...of course!!  Lockdowns and restrictions for the 99%ters, not ever for the 1%ters and still too many of us  refuse to see what they are doing to us.

Hollywood Deployed Lobbyists to Win Exemptions to Strict California Lockdown

Written by Lee Fang

 Last month, California Gov. Gavin Newsom was caught violating his own warnings against multiple households dining together indoors. The Democratic governor was spotted at the French Laundry, an exclusive restaurant north of San Francisco, where he was celebrating the birthday of longtime friend Jason Kinney.

The dinner controversy was more than just an opulent display of political double standards — it also highlighted the backroom efforts to maintain special treatment during the pandemic. Kinney, a veteran political operative, is a lobbyist for a number of interests seeking to shape the rules governing life under the pandemic, including what kind of economic activities are deemed essential in order to stay in business.

The inside track may have paid off. One of Kinney’s clients, Netflix, has been allowed to continue to operate during the latest round of forced closures that began last week as intensive care hospital capacity has dwindled across the state...............
