When I watch the videos of the Yellow Vests clashes in Paris, I wonder why so many unhappy people in developed France. Don't the people in France live
better than let say, Zimbabwe or Laos?
The point is that the people are not animals to be just fed and satisfied. Let alone, some low income circles don't have even that, figuratively
speaking what a pig would have, i.e. guaranteed daily food. But I am talking beyond that.
I watched on CNN yesterday the video how Macron humiliated a teenage boy, only because the boy greeted him, "How are you, Manu?" (Emanuel). Macron
went on a rant how that young man shouldn't start a revolution ?!? rather find a work to feed himself. And that despite the boy apologized he didn't
call him "mr president" or "sir". Where did Macron find a revolution in the friendly greeting of that teen? Besides, macron poses as a "friend" to the
youngsters in that meeting...
Do the elites whose representative Macron seems to be , realize how far they went fromt he common people? We had enough revolutions, at least in
France. All of us need the daily food, as we pray in Our Father. We need enough accessible jobs, not just garbage collectors, to assure that daily
food in the sophisticated society we live in. (because we can't just grow potatoes as in the past). If the modern leaders can't provde that in 21st
century, they'd better go. If not enough jobs, let they start supporting the needy on equal basis, not only to support the newly arrived immigrants
from the Third World. That's the bottom line that neither Macron nor another elitist should ever touch!
But most of us, if not all of us, need more than just food. We need human respect, dignity inherent for the human being created in the image of God
himself. And that is what most of the leaders don't grasp. They don't realize that after the French revolution when monarchies were abolished, they
exist in power as granted from the peoples who are the sovereign. They are not above the ones who empowered them in elections. As long as they don't
realize that simple fact of the modern societies, they will end up like Macron and others before him, on the garbage field of history. And soon.
Something new is coming soon. All those reports of UFOs...two British airports shut down for a drone? And it wasn't even a drone?
The sooner the better! We all deserve a better life, whether we have so low income as not to be able to provide for healthcare, or whether we are like
that teen boy who offers friendship and receives a moral sentence for what he could've probably thought behind that friendly greeting, according to
the desperately wrong worldview of an arrogant president. Projected in the larger society, several months later Macron got the Yellow Vests in the
biggest French upheaval after WW2.
The end of all that absurdity is visible on the horizon!

That video of Marcon is old, it has nothing to do with the yellow vests. It has something to with his attitude though...
I think you have to look it as a battle between the Globalist & the Nationalist/populists. Look at Trumps election, Brexit, it is the people who are
fed up with globalist politicians who do all sorts for big companies and the world, but not for its citizens. This is not a Left-Right thing, this is
a new paradigm. Just like the how and why Trump got elected and Brexit was voted.
The EU is not a democracy, nobody ever elected the EU commission, let alone ‘our’ president. The only elections for a EU body are kinda fake, the
European Parlement has no real powers, it can only give advice, but has no veto powers. So it is a fake democracy...
But the EU is taking more and more of our personal rights and freedoms away, is taking our money in taxes and taking more and more of our liberty. It
is the globalist EU doing this, where the nationalist populus is rising up in the form of the yellow vests. But there is more unrest fed from the same
resentment. Macron is one of those globalists supporting the EU and its hobbies, while taking it away from is electorate, just like our PRime Minister
in the Netherlands and many other politicians in EU countries.
So maybe it is a ‘new dawn’, but not in the form of a UFO, more like a new European Revolution coming up.

Trump policy is not the answer, at least not until this moment. If it would be, USA would not have the paradox of the richest country in the world
where how many millions cannot go to a doctor visit. It is a shame, really, and it doesn't matter the party lines.
I really hope Trump does something real in the remaining years. Otherwise he will lose landslide, and that is not the worst. The worst is the people
continue living bad quality life, no matter the promises. Obama promised. Now Trump promised. Where are the results? And my thread is not about Mr
Trump.
The video is not outdated. edition.cnn.com...
read that excellent analysis of the events in France That made me post it here.
And yes it is not, right vs left. it is the common citizen of the planet vs those 0.1% who are out of touch with reality,as Macron is. No matter the
labels. I wouldn't buy a nationalist agenda either, that saw Europe starting 2 world wars in 20th century.
Brexit? UK will not decide its problems with Brexit. In London there were similar protests several years ago. The poor are poor everywhere. And they
are not just the minority of lazy people who don't want to work. How to work, if all products are made in China. Yes in China there aren't lazy tugs
on the street, all work. Macron should go to see how the things are there, instead of telling his own youth "not to make revolution". He appeared to
be a prophet btw, the peaceful revolution happened.
I am Totally disillusioned in today's world. 29 years after the fall of communism, the generation that believed in a better world is possible, DID NOT
DESERVE WHAT IT HAS NOW! By no means!
Yes I believe the ET are the answer, one of them, if the world cannot decide its own problems with its own elected politicians. Or God's intervention,
if you will. The other answers the history provides and they are not better. And that is all what i want to say in this thread. Thank you for the
attention!

On the one hand, you have the "entitlement" mentality; masses of people thinking they are 'entitled' to something for nothing just because they exist.
In the days of the caveman there was no universal healthcare. If you were the strongest of the bunch, you got the most to eat. If you were injured
by an animal, you were left to die, and someone else got the most to eat. That's just how it was. It was survival of the fittest.
On the other hand, you have the "globalist" mentality by the elites. This mentality only perpetuates the "entitlement" mentality. These people feel
they are above everyone else, and by controlling them they also control the money. In the days of the caveman there was no money, so nothing to
control.
When we talk about a "New Dawn" and a 'paradigm shift'...even about UFO's and ET, we have to consider what is "progress". Progress may not always be
forward, it may well be backward. Politicians, regardless of affiliation, are liars and cheats. Collectively, they are the pinnacle of the problem.
They are the globalist, the elite and the entitled all rolled up into one.
Actually potatoes are very easy to grow and can be grown almost anywhere, even in a garbage bag.
The government, local or abroad, is not your friend. As long as people continue to think the government is going to do the right thing in favor of the
mass, they will continue to be disappointed.
If you are waiting for the government to feed you, you are likely to go very hungry.

Pigs are happy enough with it. The problem is humans. Not just how we live. What we are, what we do and why. We're just freaks of nature. Everything
that is going on in the world is screaming that exact thing every day and most people just don't get it. They just sit around scratching their heads
wondering why nature doesn't embrace our unnatural ways.

The elite have their foot on the people's throat and they know it. They see the people as weak. They herd us through the use of laws and regulations
playing on our morality of right and wrong. It is funny how they get to dictate right and wrong. They say what we want to hear and do the opposite
guided by greed and big corporations. They milk us like cows so they may as well herd us like cow also.
The words from FDR during his 1936 speech in front of the Democrat national convention ring MORE true today than when he spoke them after the Great
Depression:
"An old English judge once said: 'Necessitous men are not free men.' Liberty requires opportunity to make a living - a living decent according to the
standard of the time, a living which gives man not only enough to live by, but something to live for.
For too many of us the political equality we once had won was meaningless in the face of economic inequality. A small group had concentrated into
their own hands an almost complete control over other people's property, other people's money, other people's labor - other people's lives. For too
many of us life was no longer free; liberty no longer real; men could no longer follow the pursuit of happiness.
Against economic tyranny such as this, the American citizen could appeal only to the organized power of government."
Life is more than just subsistence living. Over my lifetime we've had HUGE gains in productivity and automation yet nobody has enough money to get
their needs met.
The people with all the money and power are 100% ruthless and evil. And here is why:
The "metamorphic effect of power" is an idea coined by David Kipnis in his behavior psychology book, "Power Holders" and his book, "Power and
Technology." You've heard the expression from Lord Acton, "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Well, it's even worse than
that! It turns out there is a fatal flaw in human psyche when it comes to people in positions of power. In Kipnis's book he focuses not on the
worker, consumer, or citizen. But instead he focuses on the CEO, corporation, and government official. He focuses on the power holder and not the
masses under control. And his results are astounding! It turns out when people assume positions of power it changes the way they think.
The people in positions of power eventually experience a growing sense of contempt and hatred for the people they have power or influence over. This
is why the leader of communism or all forms of governments eventually turn on their people. Kipnis coins this effect the "metamorphic effect of
power". When your psyche changes there becomes a point where you don't see the people you have power over as human beings. But you see them as
insects or automaton machines not worthy shred of respect with having no moral consequences if you squash them like ants under your foot. The only
way not to be changed by metamorphic effect is to be aware of it's existence.
But do not worry my comrades. Marx said laissez faire capitalism is always followed by communism. This is because unfettered greed would result in
so much money and wealth concentrated in so few hands the government's currency would collapse to nothing in value. Once the government's currency
collapses to nothing in value the people in the bread lines will demand MORE government not less. See you in the bread lines comrades!

Government is NOT the problem. Corporations and corporate POWER is the problem. The lobbyist force politicians to pass laws creating cartels and
monopolies in exchange for campaign financing which is like heroin for politicians.
But the items in your list are not federal issues but local government. 50 years ago federal government used to police local governments for
corruption. The problem we have in local governments is too much nepotism.
In my local government, they all vote Republican but hire every relative in several family trees. They make HUGE salaries and taxes are through the
roof. There's nothing that can be done about it because it's just too difficult to organize people to fight back against local government. All they
do is create fees and permits for every possible thing you can do to your house. This way they can hire MORE relatives and have more babies.
Everyone in my local government is like communist socialist or something. But they all claim to hate "socialism". Which I find incredibly ironic
since they are the very ones who benefit from socialism more than anyone else!!!
It really sucks because high local taxes are going to force me to move from my home that I love. People in power are a holes. Oh well.
It is a slow walk so people become, bored and so distracted that they forget they are being led to their demise.
First they slowly raise the price of everything until there is no longer a middle class. Just the poor and the wealthy.
They shut the poor up in camps and tell them they are providing for them and protecting them from the _______ (fill in the blank).
Homeowners, will be taxed out of their homes and will lose their property. We will all look back and ask ourselves, how did this happen?
Yet we all know the answer to the question. We all saw it coming. Those that tried to resist, to fight back, end up as outlaws, outliers, and
outcasts.
The sad thing is that it can be taken back, but too few are willing to freely give up what will be taken from them, or they will lose anyway.
