Media blackout on events in Paris and elsewhere

This may not be sophisticated analysis but it IS unsurpassed reporting from the ground. Without Luke Rudkowski’s reporting we would know little about what is going on.

For instance, we need accurate information on how the run of the banks is going.

French riot police are now using semi-automatic weapons with live ammunition against Yellow Vest protestors as Macron's law and order crisis spirals

'French riot police have deployed semi-automatic weapons with live ammunition against Yellow Vest protestors for the first time. 

Officers were filmed brandishing Heckler & Koch G36 weapons by the Arc de Triomphe in Paris on Saturday afternoon. 


The presence of semi-automatic rifles at a demonstration by unarmed French citizens shows how President Emmanuel Macron’s law and order crisis spirals. 


It comes after former conservative minister Luc Ferry called for live fire to be used against the ‘thugs’ from the Yellow Vest movement who he says 'beat up police'. 


Riot police were on crowd control duty today facing off a mob of Gilet Jaunes or Yellow Vests - named after the bright high-visibility clothing. 

Live ammunition 30 cartridge magazines could be seen as officers marched the streets, although none were used as 5000 police were deployed on the streets of the French capital. 

Yellow Vest protestor Gilles Caron said: ‘The CRS with the guns were wearing riot control helmets and body armour – they were not a specialised firearms unit. 
Their job was simply to threaten us with lethal weapons in a manner which is very troubling. We deserve some explanations.’ 

The CRS are known for their tough approach to policing, frequently using distinctively wide-barrelled guns to fire flash-ball projectiles and tear gas canisters. 

But until now, the guns used have mainly been associated with specialist military units, as well as the elite GIPN police intervention squads, and the BAC anti-criminal brigade.'

French Banks Reportedly Begin To CLOSE, NOT ALLOWING WITHDRAWALS Ahead Of Yellow Vest Bank Run


Banks in France are reportedly either outright closing down, or experiencing “ATM glitches,” as the Yellow Vest’s planned “bank run” enters it’s first scheduled day today.

Many believe that for every $100 of deposits, French banks have an average of $3000 of loaned money: a ratio of nearly 30 to one. This means that out of a population of 67.12 million, a bank run of only 2 million citizens could be absolutely catastrophic for France, and by extension the EU
