Although last time no meaningful political change was accomplished but we did see the rise of the middle class as a power to be reckoned with.

Yes, high taxes, immigration, national sovereignty are the driving forces but it's an out and out fight against the delete ruleless class and the central banks.
Big changes coming to our world...let's not muck it up this time...

    Hmm, I thought the US bought them all many years ago...what is disconcerting is that the yellow jackets have brought them out!

    "HEY! Guys...can We use them when your done?"

    Perhaps...but the interesting point is...this kind of thing has happened before in history and the last time was the onset of the Dalton Minimum about one hundred twenty years after the end of the Maunder Minimum.
    Today, we are in a serious solar minimum going into a weak solar maximum and on the precipices of another Grand Solar Minimum.
    These sociological/political uprisings seem to follow these solar events.

    It's fine and dandy that Europe is falling apart, who cares? A division is happening here in the US, will the USA remain in one piece or not?

    Wanted hard cover...not a download...looked at others, like I have done before, problem is they don't list the publishing date...that is why I was looking in old book stores for an original copy.

    Thank you kind sir, just the same.

    I have been looking for old dictionaries, but haven't found one I could afford at used book stores around here...need pre to early 1900's before the progressive period.

    I had a wonderfully old huge super thick dictionary from the late 30swith all kinds of neat added on in the back stuff in it that my dad gave me.
    Broke my heart when that irreplaceable treasure burned up in a trailer fire when the GI Bill was paying me to be a student at Troy State University.
    The cause was faulty wiring that started the fire right underneath my bed when I was at class.
    Landlord was so afraid I'd sue him that he moved me to a better trailer where I didn't have to pay rent for a while and I had free meals at his barbecue restaurant for the two years it took me to graduate.
    Two years. That reminds me. When I went straight from college to a newspaper job, me dino could not stand to eat barbecue for about that long.

    The EU is obsessed with the possibility of an Italian exit, but a "Frexit" would spell the end of the institution. One additional external force that infuriates the French people is the strongarm tactics of the Germans, as the dominant economic force in the EU. Some French have openly suggested that the "Merkel conquest" is as damaging to France as Hitler's invasion.

    From the interviews of the non violent protesters, it appears the sense is that the price of EU membership is taking resources from the French people (remember, France is one of the wealthy members, paying substantial dues to support the EU). In essence, they are nationalists, not globalists. There's a lot of anger over a failing medical care system, cuts in pensions, increasing taxes, too many immigrants, too many EU regulations, much the same as what led to Brexit.

    Interviews with the yellow jacket protesters reveal how empty the promises of well being and security for the middle class were by the Macron government. The added carbon fuel tax was simply the straw that broke the camel's back.

    There is an underlying suspicion that voter fraud deprived Marine Le Pen and her National Rally (formerly National Front) populist/nationalist party electoral victory. This nationwide expression of anger is about a perception that Macron is more interested in toadying to the EU bureaucrats in Brussels than taking care of his own people. It's about French nationalism, and that can only mean stronger support for Le Pen.

    There's a move afoot in the French National Assembly (equivalent to the U.S. House of Representatives) for a no confidence vote on the Macron government. Ironically, it's the leftists who are pushing for this, but it will more than likely benefit Le Pen if they are successful in driving Macron out. In the past, a no confidence vote triggered presidential resignations and early elections, and if Macron chooses to ignore it, his nightmare of violent revolution could happen.

    You may find it in an old dictionary. My Drafting instructor in high school used to call a kid a smirth...me and a buddy looked it up and agreed that the kid did infact...look like a "Smirth"

    Wonder what ever happened to him...

    Gave old ugly you a point anyway! Maybe because you're a good joke-cracking dance partner on these pages.
    Where'd you get "Smiths" from? Can't be a ye olde short term of blacksmiths.
    Tried to look up "smiths" but about all I got was "Smiths Plumbing" without the apostrophe because I guess plumbers are not required to spell.
    If you made that up outta the blue, "Sniffs" I'd understand.

    Someone called the cur "the mouse coward" here.
    Me dino has been using that term for the stealth troll ever since.
    Stealth troll? That term just up and jumped outta me.
    Not bad for a brain filled with Jurassic gumbo..

    Yea...laughing...it probably takes a Phd in post modernism to understand French politics...

    ...and...probably the Worst case scenario kobyashi maru where they have changed the conditions of the test to favor cultural marxism.

    An interesting take, seemingly a political "Kobyashi Maru" scenario. There is a lot to be said for the argument, also some of the yellow jacket philosophy seems to want a bigger socialist structure, rather than less, depending on what source you see. The least filtered seems to be (don't get shocked)

    It seems whoever wrote that knows a lot about the inner workings of Frances politics, which is probably a Phd subject...

    The globalist, pedophiles and all their [TRUSTs] know it's over and are fighting with their last breath.

    Maybe, this present day Spring of Nations, not the media one, not the false flag one, but the real will of the people will prevail this time.

    All we can do is "Hope and Chains".
    Hope for the people and chains for the great unwashed global delete.
