Thick fog-like tear gas can be seen in shocking pictures during clashes between police and protesters in another consecutive week of anti-Macron demonstrations. It remains unknown just how many demonstrators have been detained, according to witnesses who took to Twitter to share their shock. One said: “Police seen charging "yellow jacket" protesters amid heavy tear gas in front of Gare de Lyon train station in Paris, France.”

Another said: “ Huge anti-government protests in the streets of Iran...or is it Russia?

“Nope. It’s Paris, #France, today. So of course mainstream media is nowhere to be found. #YellowVests #GiletsJaunes #Greve18janvier.”

The international press doesn't want to report it because it might slow down the Islamic Revolution the left hopes will kickstart a public cry for a leftist police state to get rid of them.

Out of anarchy,comes order. Stalinist order.

Never let a crisis go to waste--even if you have to manufacture it.

Massive, absolutely massive crowds out on the streets of #France against #Macron tonight

Tens of thousands out on the streets in "Marches of Light" in every of the 10-15 largest cities of France (video from #Lyon)

A lot of people say, we are not getting the news as we should about all this going on. See video at link. This is pretty impressive.

I gather pension reform is the main thing but the French really love to protest.

They  protested against "bio-ethics" earlier this week... don't ask me to explain it but I know they did and apparently, they protest Macron. We are only really getting surface reports on all of this.  Maybe there is some protesting against migration though, I don't think that is a central theme.
