What the Liberal Media Didn't Tell You About the Looting in Paris
By P.J. Gladnick | December 9, 2018 5:05 PM EST

This week, we have seen how the networks avoided the connection of Les Gilet Jaunes or Yellow Vest protests in Paris to the global warming ideology promoted by French President Emmanuel Macron (which led him to impose a fuel tax that he was forced to back away from). However, another bit of misreporting from much of the mainstream media involves properly identifying who it is during these Yellow Vest protests that are doing the looting and desecration of monuments with graffiti.

Fortunately we have an alternative Canadian news source, The Rebel, which has reported from Paris on who the perpetrators are. Their revelation is something you won't see in much of the rest of the media in either Canada or the U.S.A. which have left the impression that the lootings and descrations were done by the regular Yellow Vests.

fuel tax

I bet they're not arguing over whether or not AGW is actually happening.

...   What observers should know is that this is not about fuel prices or Macron’s incompetence; this is about the fall of the West.

People have long complained of France losing its soul by becoming a secularized, progressive, socialist welfare state shortly after two miserable losses in the two world wars. After being known for its fine arts, beautiful landscapes, rich Catholic tradition, genius philosophers and scientists, and famous monuments, people now see France as a stagnant irrelevant pool of decadence (this descent is captured well in Thomas Merton’s description of the country in Seven Storey Mountain).

It is the land of nasty writers like Celine and Michel Houellebecq, nasty singers like Serge Gainsbourg, and nasty architecture like the Musee de Pompidou. All the same, most Frenchmen didn’t seem to mind this decline as long as they could have shorter workweeks and socialized health care.

As a result of losing its soul, France has also been losing its body—its people, communities, business, and infrastructure.   ...

If we went to France and walked through the streets talking to young people I find it hard to believe they'd be complaining about universal healthcare or tuition free college. Also I don't see anything about climate change. People from Europe would laugh at us for our position on climate change if not for how utterly disappointing it must be.

What a coincidence. I laugh at those whose position is that human activity affects the climate.

How about we keep this thread about the yellow vests, m'kay?

The original post started it when it tried to implicate AGW in its smear.

There’s no accounting for religious beliefs.

They closed down the Eiffel Tower. Lots of pigeons will be hungry because tourists will not be buying croissants on the second floor and feeding them.

Pigeons are going hungry folks! Pigeons are going hungry! 

Also people who go there to get engaged can’t get engaged.

Romance and pigeons are having their lives wrecked.

Indeed, it is a religion, another "ism."

...  A full week doesn’t pass without some cataclysmic news about climate change. The meteorological activists are brilliantly adept at shoehorning any weather event or natural disaster into their ominous narrative. If world temperatures are cooling — or warming — they attribute it to overall warming. If there’s a severe hurricane, it’s because of evil capitalist carbon emissions. If California forest fires are caused or exacerbated by their asinine environmental policies, they blame them, too, on the “deniers,” because one thing is certain about global warming blowhards: Their supposedly having good intentions means never having to apologize for their consistently failed prophecies.   ...

As the left ceaselessly bombards us with climate fearmongering, it’s no wonder many have bought into hopelessness and despair. It was hardly surprising to see MSNBC anchor Katy Tur telling her audience this week that her life will be meaningless unless we start addressing the climate change problem. “I read that New Yorker article today, and I thought, ‘Gosh, how pointless is my life?'” said Tur. “And how pointless are the decisions that I make on a day-to-day basis when we are not focused on climate change every day, when it’s not leading every one of our newscasts?”

I suppose many of you will scoff, but I believe this is largely a spiritual issue. There is a marked difference between being good stewards of the earth and worshipping it in place of God, who created it. Generally speaking, our respective worldviews greatly influence our attitude toward the climate change issue, from beginning to end. Secular humanists — those who don’t believe in God and tend to think that man is the measure of all things — are likelier to believe that human beings are powerful enough to destroy the planet through carbon emissions. And they are far likelier to believe that this life is all there is — that there is nothing beyond.  ...

Think of the poor gypsy mothers who won't be able to steal tourists' purses and wallets.

Good luck to the Eiffel Tower's resident Nigerians as well. I don't imagine panhandling Antifa is too profitable, no matter how aggressively executed.

No, they know it's a non-issue.

I hate to tell you this but there is a reason the French fatten these birds up.....

So...returning to the original topic (remember that?) which was not about Global Bullshit.  I won't respond to posts about Global Warming bullshit.

Re the headline:  The liberal media doesn't even tell us there's looting going on in the first place.  They stopped showing all the burning cars in France a couple years ago.

They certainly won't tell us the looting and other criminal acts are not being committed by the tax protesters, by and large, but by leftist infiltrators.

Truedat.  The tax protestors are not the ones looting.  They report the same way here about Antifa creeps.

Oh that’s a beautiful church, especially when it’s lit up at night.

Yes, it is. That's where we encountered the most aggressive African street vendors,  too.

I was there 16 years ago. No problems. Maybe it’s changed

If we went to France and walked through the streets talking to young people I find it hard to believe they'd be complaining about universal healthcare or tuition free college. Also I don't see anything about climate change. People from Europe would laugh at us for our position on climate change if not for how utterly disappointing it must be.

People in Europe are totally irrational about all things GAIA, they are psychotic, take Germany, they have thrown billions at 'Renewable Energy" in the form of wind farms and solar and it just hasn't worked, they can't store the electricity or can't generate it when they need it and have driven energy costs sky high for the average German. As and as Universal health care, that's a laugh, it's universally difficult to see a doctor, unless you don't mind sitting for hours, probably on the floor along with all the 'migrants' who actually do get free healthcare. And let me tell you how it works for the old people, once they through all their cash paying for that universal healthcare they better have some children who will have to pony up 500 a month or 'to bad, so sad'. It's a pity that you really haven't a clue as to how socialism and universal healthcare actually work, and France is no different, well except that they are lazier than most.

 As you might have noticed, I really don't give a damn what people from Europe think about us because as rule there only two things you can count on, their absolute love of our money and and their absolute disdain for everything else about us. The exceptions are for the most part the former East Bloc countries like Hungary, Poland the Czechs and a couple others that share our views.  And did you really want to start that climate change crap AGAIN! You really think people protesting for cheaper gas care?

As long as we didn't get in the way of their violent protests of the latest "climate change" fuel tax increases.

People from Europe would laugh at us for our position on climate change if not for how utterly disappointing it must be that the people of the USA are now the sheep while the people of France, FRANCE!, are actually pushing back.
