B-Man Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 MAYBE THEY COULD TRY LOOSENING ECONOMIC CONTROLS AND GIVING PEOPLE LESS TO PROTEST: France considers ‘all options’ to quell violent protests................Nah: Justice Minister Nicole Belloubet told reporters at a Sunday press conference those involved in Saturday’s protests would face “a very firm response from the criminal justice system.” Some will be brought up for trial as soon as Monday, according to the minister. Asked about the possibility of a state of emergency, Belloubet said, “I am not sure we have reached that stage quite yet. I think there are other options.” French President Emmanuel Macron held an emergency meeting with top officials on Sunday just hours after returning from the G20 summit in Argentina. In a statement, Macron paid tribute to law enforcement and rescue teams who “showed unrelenting bravery throughout the day and evening.” Macron also “stressed the importance of judicial follow-up so that none of the acts committed remains unpunished,” the statement added. Tensions rising Rising fuel prices are largely attributed to a leap in the wholesale price of oil worldwide. Um… (there's an excess supply............it's the taxes, Shhhhhhh! ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are factions in this that are doing a masterful job steering the political interest. And, yes, I said that right. Through optics they're creating chaos and discord to disrupt the message of the protests and drown out their voice. What we are seeing in this country is an outside view. I'd be very interested to view the interior reports of the epidemic. But, lest anyone believe there is a flash mob type protest going on than I have to call *****. There is organization. There is always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always. I think she was saying that the original yellow vest people had no leader or organization beyond... 'let's march in protest'. The infiltrating factions have organization and are co-opting the protest (ask yourself why). You didn't hear much about this until the fires and rioting started, did you?

But in this case, you are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdnlng Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 The way to control Russia is to use our energy surpluses as a carrot and a stick. Obviously there has to be some sort of cooperation between the government and the energy industry but $40 a barrel oil would put a crimp in Putin's plans.
