France
Deploys 89,000 Cops Amid Fears Of Yellow Vest Rebellion On Saturday
6
December, 2018
French
authorities will deploy at
least 8,000
riot police and gendarmes in Paris on Saturday, and 89,000
forces across
the country according
to the Prime Minister, as the Elysee prepares for "act four"
of the Yellow Vest movement's violent protests against the Macron
government.
In
addition to the closure of the Eiffel Tower on Saturday, several
Paris museums have announced that they won't be open this weekend.
"The
demonstrations announced Saturday, December 8 in Paris cannot
guarantee the safety of visitors, the Sete has made the decision to
close the Eiffel Tower," announced the Societe de la Tour Eiffel
which operates the monument.
Despite
Macron's government delaying a planned fuel hike by six months, the
Yellow Vest movement has called
on its followers to "stay on our course," over
Facebook and
gather for "The
Act IV" on
Saturday the 8th, in what will be the fourth week of protests.
Coup
attempt?
French
intelligence services have reported to the Elysee Palace - the
official residence of President Macron, in light of "calls to
kill" and "carry arms to attack" government officials,
parliamentarians and police, according to Le
Figaro. "They
are putschists. We are in a coup attempt," said Le
Figaro's
sources.
On
Thursday, Yellow Vest leader Eric Drouet said "Saturday
will be the final outcome. Saturday
is the Elysee," adding "we
all would like to go to the Elysee."
Le
Figaro also
reports that Saturday's
demonstrations may involve unprecedented violence, as
it may include "a hard core radicalized" element,
from "both
the extreme right and extreme left."
Four
people have died over the last several weeks of protests across
France - including an 80-year-old
woman who
died of shock after a police tear-gas canister was launched into her
apartment window as she was trying to close it. Over 400 people were
arrested in last weekend's violent protests, while more than 130 were
injured.
Macron's
administration has struggled to calm the protesters - initially
delaying a planned fuel tax hike by six months, and then floating a
tax increase for the wealthy. Thus far, none of it has worked.
Yellow
Vest protesters recently told Russian state-owned RT that
the government has
lost touch with its people,
and that they have to "put humane attitude first, and not the
money." Another protester said that they "would prefer to
be at work, than to find [themselves] on the streets shouting, hoping
for nothing."
France Deploying 89,000 Cops + Army Troops FEARING SATURDAY OVERTHROW OF GOVERNMENT
6
December, 2018
With
protesters planning to converge in the Elysee Palace in Paris on
Saturday, French authorities are preparing to deploy 8,000 additional
officers in Paris and 89,000 nationwide.
While
Emmanuel Macron’s government has abandoned a controversial fuel tax
hike, thousands of protesters are still planning on marching on the
presidential residence on Saturday. Calls have been made to
attack parliamentarians and police forces, French media report.
“Saturday
will be the final outcome,” Yellow
Vest spokesman Eric Drouet said on Thursday. “Saturday
is the Elysee, we all would like to go to the Elysee.”
With
government officials reportedly fearing a “coup
attempt,” OR
OUTRIGHT OVERTHROW OF THE GOVERNMENT, the
state has dramatically expanded police presence, hoping to avoid a
repeat of the violence and
destruction that rocked the capital last weekend. Over 130 people
were injured and more than 400 arrested on December 1. Four people,
including an elderly woman, died as rioters clashed with battalions
of riot police.
As
the interior ministry warned of an emboldened extremist fringe, Prime
Minister Édouard Philippe promised that this weekend’s upcoming
riots would be handled with “exceptional
means.”
"We
are facing people who are not here to protest, but to smash and we
want to have the means to not give them a free rein," Philippe
told TF1's evening news show on Tueday.
On
the street, that means that more than 75 police units will be
deployed in Paris, compared to the 50 sent out last weekend. Officers
have also been instructed to directly engage with protesters,
prompting fears of violence above and beyond that of last weekend.
Video
purportedly filmed last Saturday showed officers chasing down and
beating one protester to a pulp, after rioters had pelted officers
with rocks and fireworks at the Arc de Triomphe earlier that day.
Police attacked:
According
to French media, Philippe will also deploy ten armored vehicles
to the streets of Paris. Such a deployment has not occurred since
riots broke out in Paris' suburbs in 2005.
Unconfirmed
images from social media also appear to show the French army moving
vehicles – some of them armored – towards Paris.
Paris
police have urged shopkeepers along the Champs-Elysees to close on
Saturday, and dozens of museums and cultural sites will also be shut
for the weekend, including the iconic Eiffel Tower.
Against
the backdrop of rising violence, President Macron’s approval rating
has fallen to a new low of
23 percent, according to a poll taken last week. Another poll taken
this week found that 66 percent of French agree with the protesters.
At least three left-wing parties have agreed to discuss a
no-confidence vote against Macron’s government on Monday.
While
the protests were sparked by the planned fuel tax hike, they have
since evolved into a wider movement against his Europhile policies
and economic reforms, which include tax breaks for businesses coupled
with cuts to pensioners’ benefits.
“The
revolt is not just about the gas prices,” French
political commentator Jean Bricmont says. “It’s
a general revolt against the policy of the government.”
France Chaos Worsens; ARMY SEEN DEPLOYING TOWARD PARIS
6
December, 2018
Protests
and riots in France are worsening and today, elements of the French
Army are being seen deploying toward Paris.
Earlier
this week, Police in France's capital city called for the Army,
saying the protests and riots have become "a Revolution."
Reports
are now coming in from several places in France, describing
significant numbers of French Army vehicles seen deploying and
mustering near Paris and other large cities in France as protests and
riots continue to rock that country.
Not
only is the French Army deploying, but French Police are calling-out
EVERY heavy-duty/armored vehicle they have to handle the events
taking place:
The
protests began after the French government enacted a significant tax
increase on gasoline, which brought the costs upward of $7.49 per
gallon.
Motorists
in France, who are required by law to keep an Yellow/Lime Green
Safety vest in the trunk of each car for safety purposes, donned
those vests to decry the tax increase. The protests grew
so fast, and became so widespread, the protesters were suddenly
referred-to as "Yellow jackets."
Soon
after the protests began, some turned into riots, with the French
people using the occasion of the Yellow Jacket protests over tax, to
begin protesting immigration and the terrible changes to France that
have taken place since millions of third worlders were allowed into
that country.
Crime,
filth, and danger now rule the streets of many large French cities
because of these immigrants, and the French people seem to have had
quite enough.
A
posting on Social Media, which has gone viral -- and continues to BE
viral to this day - warns that December 10, TSHTF in France:
"Nous nous adressons à la population, c'est le calme avant la tempête !!! Faites des provisions, de l'essence /gazoil, faites le pleins en nourriture et médicaments !!! Nous allons tout bloquer dès le 10 décembre !!! Nous nous arrêterons quand se que nous demandons sera réellement mis en place !!! Assez de nous prendre pour des cons !! Nous voulons vivre et non survivre !!! Rejoignez nous le10 décembre !! Aucune école, aucune administration ! Ouverte !! Aucun magasin !! Nous bloquerons les accès et sorties d'aéroport !!les grandes surfaces ! Les bureaux !! La Srpp !! Nous prévenons la population !!! Rejoignez nous au différents barrages ou restez chez vous ! Nous les GJ sommes non violents et ne voulons pas que de belles paroles mais des actes !!! LE 10 DÉCEMBRE TOUS ENSEMBLE !!!!
Translated,
the social media posting reads as follows:
"This
is a message for the population: It
is the calm before the storm!!! Make
provisions: fuel, food, medicines!!
We
are going to block everything starting from the 10th of December. We
will only stop once what we are asking is implemented.
We
have had enough of being taken for fools.
We
want to live, and not just survive.
Come
with us on the 10th of December. No school, no government services
open for business.
We
will block all entries and exits to airports, supermarkets, offices
etc...
We
are alerting the population. Come with us on the blockades or stay at
home.
We
yellow jackets are non violent, but we will not be satisfied with
pretty words. We want acts!
All
together the 10th of December!!!"
Reports
now coming in saying France intends to deploy 65,000 POLICE on
December 10, and as seen in the photos above, the ARMY is being
deployed as well.
This
could be the end for French President Emmanuel Macron. A "no
confidence" vote is expected in the French Parliament
