Be quiet, don’t say a word. Everybody is happy to take government orders and bow down to their “leaders”.
Pick up Monday’s New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, go to Euronews… not a peep – zip, nadda, nothing – about the massive, ongoing demonstrations raging across France in protest of the COVID War Vax Pass imposed upon the citizenry by their ruler.
Go to France 24. Even they hardly reported on it, and when they did, the headline was a lie: “Thousands march against French Covid health pass for fifth week in a row.”
Thousands?
An outright lie. The newspaper even stated that according to government officials there were about 250,000, up from 237,000 last Saturday. Yet their deceiving headline is that “Thousands” protested when it should have read, “Hundreds of thousands…”
As the paper also reports, Nombre Jaune (“The Yellow Number”), the group that was originally created to provide an alternative to alleged mainstream underreporting of the numbers of those taking part in the “Yellow Vest” strikes and protests, stated some 415,000 took the streets.
No Backbones
As only a few Americans, Australians, and others are taking to the streets in protest of draconian lockdown mandates including required Operation Warp Speed gene therapy jabs unapproved by the FDA if you want to go to restaurants, gyms, concerts, college, etc., in many states and nations… the French were again out in force protesting the COVID-19 health passport order for daily activities (see Trends Journal‘s 3 August article, “PROTESTS BREAK OUT IN FRANCE OVER HEALTH PASS MANDATE”).
And as of yesterday, in order to go to some 120 major department stores and shopping centers… from Paris to a number of cities along the Mediterranean coast, the pass sanitaire health permit will be required.
It should be noted that the protests started even before the new rules took effect on 9 August (see, 27 July, “FRENCH FIGHTING AGAINST FORCED VAXX.”)
“Vos Papiers, S’il Vous Plait”
The health pass must now be shown when in public places, to prove that the bearer has been vaccinated or has recently tested negative for the virus. While some leniency was shown at first, the government has promised to get tougher on checking for passes. And, starting in October, the testing, unless prescribed by a doctor, will no longer be free.
The health pass is President Emmanuel Macron’s reaction to a “fourth wave” of COVID infections. The number of infected persons in intensive care has more than doubled in past weeks, still less than a third of the number during the country’s third lockdown, but enough to warrant new restrictions.
When Macron announced his health pass plan it did spark a rise in vaccine compliance, and almost 70 percent of France’s population have now had one dose, with 57.5 percent fully vaccinated.
TREND FORECAST: The protestors, many of whom carried signs that said “Pass = Apartheid” and chanted “Freedom! Freedom!”, represent otherwise disparate groups, from members of the grassroots “Yellow Vest” populist movement that was sparked by rising petrol taxes and held strikes across France in 2018 – 2019 (see December 2019’s “FRANCE: NATIONAL STRIKE IS BREWING”) to those who are against the vaccine or consider the health pass discriminatory.
Again, we had long forecast that these groups would unite under the Freedom banner, forming new political parties and/or bringing together small existing populist parties to challenge the ruling class.
And, as economic conditions worsen that the refugee crisis escalates, these movements will gain enough strength to win the highest office.
