France Using Emergency Powers To Prevent Climate Change Protests (theguardian.com)
Bruce66423 writes: Following the Paris massacre, the French government declared a state of emergency. One of the regulations this introduced was control of large scale gatherings, and one of the events that is being caught up in this is planned protests to do with the Climate Change conference in Paris next month. This has resulted in some activists being put under house arrest — yet other gathering, such as commercial street markets — are being allowed to go ahead. Funny that; anyone would think that the government is using the opportunity to suppress dissent.
"Never let a crisis go to waste" -- Rahm Emanuel, Mayor of Chicago (which is the most violet and corrupt city in the United States of America).
That might be Saul Alinsky, a 1960s organizer and radical, author of "Rules for Radicals". A mentor of sorts to Emanuel and Obama.
Also related to Che Guevara, the communist revolutionary who wrote in his "Guerrilla Warfare" that when the peasants are safe and content one must create the conditions by which the government will abuse and kill them so as to bring the peasants to the side of revolution. That their previous safety and comfort is an obstacle to revolution. In other words manufacture a crisis if there is none. ISIS wants a crackdown on muslims in the west for these reasons.
The idea that people are protesting against the French government on environmental grounds seems quite strange to me.
You probably are not aware that there will be an international meeting in Paris soon. Many governments will be represented, and the protests are an attempt to somehow sway more governments to act?
But no. Far easier to knock down strawmen. Sick of protesting crap. Yeah, democracy and free speech are so sickening, ugh! Why don't we have more countries like North Korea and China where the governments really know how to crack down on these stupid protests! /s
