Yellow Vests—Point of No Return (Documentary-French lang.)

HELP ENLIGHTEN YOUR FELLOWS. BE SURE TO PASS THIS ON. SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON IT.

Editor's Note: Although this brief documentary on the Yellow Vests (Gilets Jaunes) is in French, we present it nonetheless because of its superb imagery. It shows that the Yellow Vests have been involved in far more serious disturbances than just repeated "Acts" (Actes, as they call their weekly mobilizations, latest was XI). These occur in ALL major and even minor cities and towns in France, as no less than 70% of the population supports the protests, but the media tries to deny their magnitude and persistence. Taranis News has done an excellent job of true citizens' journalism, and for that we express our deepest gratitude.

GILETS JAUNES: LE POINT DE NON RETOUR

Bravo pour ce travail utile et nécessaire!

PS/ Incidentally, as you watch these scenes, these testimonies, the cowardly and filthy collaboration of the American media with the capitalisy order becomes all the more undeniable. How else to explain their total erasure of these events from our screens? Meanwhile, as our tv screens are filled with totally superficial items, or matters of very narrow and obsessive interest (Trump's wall, Russiagate, sports, weather, celebrity gossip, etc.) typical of the ethnocentric mindscape allowed by the media barons, France is burning in many places. Maybe it is better the stateside media whores do not even touch this rebellion, because all they would do is lie about it and slander and demonise its motives and participants. That's what they do.

Bonus feature
The "Red Scarves" (Foulards Rouges) make their entrance.
These folks are the precise opposite of the Yellow Vests: they support "order", Macron, and the neoliberal system in place. Classwise, they have a large representation of merchants, and upper middle class types. They are being encouraged by the government toact like a dam to the Yellow Vests tidal waves, and possible political conquests. It's time for the Yellow Vests to create a "Paris Alternatif"—a fixed encampment— for those pushing for a new vision of society. Let it attract people from all over Europe and the rest of the world. They march in the name of "stopping the violence". But, history shows, polite requests, no matter how massive, never moved a ruling class to change course. How are the people of France going to accomplish a true overhaul of the ruling social arrangement just by begging the powerful?

Revolutionary wisdom

Words from an Irish patriot—

“There are three kinds of violence. The first, the mother of all the others, is the institutional violence, the one that legalizes and perpetuates the dominations, the oppressions and the exploitations, the one that crushes and flattens millions of men in its silent and well oiled wheels. The second is revolutionary violence, which arises from the desire to abolish the first. The third is repressive violence, the object of which is to stifle the second by making itself the auxiliary and the accomplice of the first violence, the one that engenders all the others. There is no worse hypocrisy to call violence only the second, by pretending to forget the first, which gives birth to it, and the third which kills it. ”

–Dom Helder Camara, Brazilian Archbishop and liberation theologian
