its a curious thing to watch tv 'news' because the doublespeak removes all reference to 'unapproved' demonstrations, like that in france while you see lots of coverage of hong kong. it you possess a brain and use it you will have access to lots of reasons to think about that, but in the meantime consider what's going on in france, and has been for more than a year, plus there's a video;

As we speak, protests and riots are raging again in France. Most stores and cafés in Paris are now closed. Cases of looting became more frequent and three-fourths of trains aren’t operating. Four subway lines are closed. Twenty percent of flights in the Orly Airport were canceled.

Our staff correspondent Anastasia Popova is reporting from a France in upheaval.

They’ve been on strike for thirty days and are not going to back down. In Lion, Bordeaux, Montpelier, they are setting off firecrackers and flares.

Alarming news came from Lille: police officers got hit with an improvised explosive device: a bottle with a flammable liquid and nails. It didn’t go off, so nobody got hurt.

350,000 people took to the streets of the French capital. This is Republic Square, and further on, up to the horizon, the street is full of people. The next street is equally crowded. Doctors, lawyers, and teachers – all of France took to the streets in opposition to the retirement reform.

They are going to cancel all the current benefits all at once. For example, train drivers won’t be entitled to retirement at 50 anymore, and ballet dancers don’t get to keep their threshold of 42 years old. Now, the universal retirement age is 62, with incentives to work longer, up to 64 at least.

IT’S HIGH TIME TO ACT..................http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=199638
