The Irony of Yellow Vests

in #news6 years ago (edited)

French President Macron (Former Goldman Sucs/Rothschild Banker) is loved by the media and hated by his people. His approval rating is now at 27%. He is pretty much the Anti-Trump who is hated by the media and although maybe everybody doesn't love him, his approval rating is much higher than 27% regardless of who's "statistics" you want to look at.

People have been rioting in France for the last several weeks by the hundreds of thousands over increases in fuel taxes & low standards of living (1 in the same thing really). Rightfully so, France is one of the most heavily taxed nations on the planet and people are having a hard time making ends meet. So every new tax is going to be felt hard by those who can least afford it. Eventually Joe Six-Pack in the United States is going to wake up and realize he is getting screwed too, but that time is not yet here, but its coming.

But I can't help but see the irony of the 'Yellow-Vest'. You see in France you have to carry one in your vehicle or the local government overlords can cite you with a ticket (just another tax). So the government, circulated by decree, the very tool used to rally the people to stand up and fight back from government taxes.

I'm guessing the good folks at the French transportation board who thought up this brilliant regulation didn't think it all the way through. Oops.

Macron is going to have to fire on his own people pretty soon, or relent and backtrack on the increases in taxes or he risks losing control of the whole country. But according to Bloomberg, it looks like he is going for option 2.

French President Emmanuel Macron may institute emergency tax cuts in an attempt to quash the protests, according to Bloomberg

The government is increasingly worried that the economy, alongside its own political fortunes, is threatened by demonstrations against fuel taxes that have spiraled into a push-back against Macron’s policies.
Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said the impact of the riots was “severe,” and left a meeting of finance ministers in Brussels to return to Paris for crisis talks with colleagues. -Bloomberg

Good luck NWO...it still doesn't fix the root of the issue which is the oppression of the population through policy and taxation for the good of the bankers.

The UK media have been largely quiet about the riots in France. I only knew about i because I French girl I know from uni told me

They don't want the tax riots to spread throughout Europe.

NWO is doomed for this time being and near future thanks to God.
Cleansing in many places just started (first in US).
Trump approval rate now over 50% , Macron less than 27, that says quite all.
All satanists (neo-marxists, demoncrats, NWO globalists, fake news and deepstate) shall fall.
France is newly most taxed country in the OECD.
Keep praying!

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

Isn't it strange how the narrative can change so much when the reporter is either favorable or dis-favorable toward the subject? Hmmm. I guess it's good for Macron that the media love him. If that were happening in the USA, the media would be ripping Trump apart over it.

Apparently Macron does not have much time ... soon France will be ungovernable.
