After I listened to this clip in French, I had to go and listen to dozens of others of her clips (mainly sung in German) as she has one of the most hauntingly beautiful voices I have ever heard. I ended up glugging a lot of tears and being all choked up. Thanks, it was wet but beautiful.

Lol, I just bought the kids and myself safety vests for biking and running. I can't recall if they're yellow or orange. I guess we're still part of things:-))

From: http://www.marseillaise.org/english/english.html
La Marseillaise in English

Arise children of the fatherland
The day of glory has arrived
Against us tyranny's
Bloody standard is raised
Listen to the sound in the fields
The howling of these fearsome soldiers
They are coming into our midst
To cut the throats of your sons and consorts
To arms citizens Form your battalions
March, march
Let impure blood
Water our furrows

What do they want this horde of slaves
Of traitors and conspiratorial kings?
For whom these vile chains
These long-prepared irons?
Frenchmen, for us, ah! What outrage
What methods must be taken?
It is us they dare plan
To return to the old slavery!
What! These foreign cohorts!
They would make laws in our courts!
What! These mercenary phalanxes
Would cut down our warrior sons
Good Lord! By chained hands
Our brow would yield under the yoke
The vile despots would have themselves be
The masters of destiny
Tremble, tyrants and traitors
The shame of all good men
Tremble! Your parricidal schemes
Will receive their just reward
Against you we are all soldiers
If they fall, our young heros
France will bear new ones
Ready to join the fight against you
Frenchmen, as magnanimous warriors
Bear or hold back your blows
Spare these sad victims
That they regret taking up arms against us
But not these bloody despots
These accomplices of Bouillé
All these tigers who pitilessly
Ripped out their mothers' wombs
We too shall enlist
When our elders' time has come
To add to the list of deeds
Inscribed upon their tombs
We are much less jealous of surviving them
Than of sharing their coffins
We shall have the sublime pride
Of avenging or joining them
Drive on sacred patriotism
Support our avenging arms
Liberty, cherished liberty
Join the struggle with your defenders
Under our flags, let victory
Hurry to your manly tone
So that in death your enemies
See your triumph and our glory!


BTW, who is Bouillé?
Does anyone know?
No, I don't know Bouillé. But to understand the French psyche, I think we need to understand Charlemagne, Plantagenet, Joan of Arc, Nostradamus, the Knights Templar and many more. The fabric of the place is completely woven in deep mystery. Not only is the experience of food and sex heightened in that culture, so is death, blood and war.

I've been following the "Yellow Vest Revolution" in France for the past week or so and I find it amazingly encouraging. While the MSM has touted these as simple protests (turned riots) over the high cost of fuel/fuel taxes, others believe (as I do) that these protests are much more than about that. My belief is that this revolt is just part of "The Great Awakening" and another manifestation of We, The People, standing up to Deep State. Q has stated many times that this is a GLOBAL movement--in fact, there have been a number of posts apparently showing protestors in France wearing "Q" t-shirts and reports of many shouting "WE WANT TRUMP!"

Something I found telling was that the apparent spark that touched off this wildfire was when the French government enacted a LAW THAT REQUIRED EVERY MOTORIST to have two high-visibility yellow vests in their car. I know it sounds rather silly to riot over such a small thing, but the bottom line seems to be that people all over the world are simply getting tired of their Deep State governments sticking their noses into EVERYTHING, legislating all kinds of ridiculous rules, and financially RAPING us every time we turn around!

Anyway, while MSM has been responding with "cricket sounds" on this revolt, it seems other countries may be starting to get on board too. Apparently, Sweden was the most recent to start their own "yellow vest" protests. It'll be interesting to see how this all pans out, but I suspect this will eventually become a TRULY GLOBAL PHENOMENON and may be the trigger that finally brings down Deep State.

The yellow vest thing is a fascinating synchronicity for me, as I became almost obsessed with lime-yellow reflective clothing quite a few years ago myself (maybe it has something to do with the Light?) and I frequently wear jackets just like the vests. So I guess I was "revolutionary" before it was even cool! :rolleyes::fp:-D

And some historical places have been clearly damaged
They are from many sides most of them extreme right and extreme left
Very agressive and violent
I don’t like these riots and the way they have been behaving here
This is not a call for change
French people are not spiritual at all
They are for most of them cartesian
They save money to buy very expensive things for their kids and don’t eat well
Don’t be atttacted by what is said in some articles
I think the change should be inside first

Such judgement from you Henda because they are not doing it your way.

The first stage to waking up is anger.....I know from my own experiences and those of clients I have had that always, anger and a need to create change comes first. Let them be.

Not long ago the UN forced the Migration pact on EU member countries. It was a step too far and now Belgium has revolted. The migration pact made immigration a human right and jailed anyone who challenged it. And it was binding, despite on the surface appearing to not be binding.

The Belgian Prime Minister has been forced to resign after signing the pact of behalf of Belgium. I believe that Sweden and The Netherlands are also close to rebelling, as of course, is France.

As for Britain, words fail me.

Before i start reading here one info that my bf told me. In europe they managed to have a law that every vehicule essence and/or german (diesel) must pay a quite high tax to force the carparc to be only electric. In luxemburg this thing will hurt a lot as the country shows a nice picture but reality is very other

French police announce strike action over poor working conditions

After more than a month monitoring Yellow Vest protests, French police officers who were already feeling overworked, say they have had enough. The third largest union UNSA-Police has urged its officers to stay at home on Wednesday, except in the case of an emergency.
"Roundabouts don't just belong to the Yellow Vests," the union said in a press release, in reference to the traffic chaos caused by the 'gilets jaunes' who have blocked roads in anger over rising fuel prices and taxes.
Police unions are hoping to mirror the Yellow Vest movement, despite the latter losing momentum on the fifth straight weekend of demonstrations.
"The Yellow Vest movement is about purchasing power," says Alexandre Langlois, the secretary general of the independent police union VIGI. "It would be a shame not to take up the issue, which concerns us all," he told RFI.

i only wait until the moment it arrives at my country
You can report things as they actually happen - without media slant. That will be interesting.

The yellow vests in France are demanding the end of the DS but are also demanding more socialism, a tool of the DS. Various links to their demands for comparisons.
  1. ar15.com forum.
  2. qz.com.
  3. Opendemocracy.net.
  4. Bloomberg. French tax burden is 2nd highest in the world. And the yellow vests want more taxes. Politicians are not known for cutting old programs to pay for new programs.
  5. DDG search if you want more.

From ar15 forum:
FAVOR THE SMALL BEGINNINGS OF THE VILLAGES AND TOWN CENTERS. (STOP THE CONSTRUCTION OF LARGE COMMERCIAL AREAS AROUND MAJOR CITIES THAT KILL THE SMALL BUSINESS) + FREE PARKING IN CITY CENTERS. (more taxes)

THAT WHOLESALE (MACDO, GOOGLE, AMAZON, CARREFOUR ...) PAY LARGE AND THAT THE SMALL (ARTISANS, TPE PME) PAY SMALL.

SAME SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM FOR EVERYONE (INCLUDING ARTISANS AND AUTOENTREPRENEURS). END OF THE RSI.

THE PENSION SYSTEM MUST REMAIN IN SOLIDARITY AND THEREFORE SOCIALIZED. (NO POINT OF RETIREMENT). (more taxes)

END OF THE TAX HIKE ON FUEL.

NO RETIREMENT BELOW 1,200 EUROS. (more taxes)

THE WAGES OF ALL FRENCH PEOPLE AS WELL AS PENSIONS AND ALLOWANCES MUST BE INDEXED TO INFLATION. (more taxes)

FOR JOB SECURITY: FURTHER LIMIT THE NUMBER OF FIXED-TERM CONTRACTS FOR LARGE COMPANIES. WE WANT MORE CDI.

THAT THE CAUSES OF FORCED MIGRATION ARE TREATED.

THAT ASYLUM SEEKERS BE TREATED WELL. WE OWE THEM HOUSING, SECURITY, FOOD AND EDUCATION FOR THE MINERS. WORK WITH THE UN TO HAVE HOST CAMPS OPEN IN MANY COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD, PENDING THE OUTCOME OF THE ASYLUM APPLICATION.

THAT THE UNSUCCESSFUL ASYLUM SEEKERS BE RETURNED TO THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.

MAXIMUM SALARY SET AT 15,000 EUROS.

THAT JOBS ARE CREATED FOR THE UNEMPLOYED. (more taxes)

INCREASE OF DISABLED ALLOWANCES. (more taxes)

LIMITATION OF RENTS. + MODERATE RENT HOUSING (ESPECIALLY FOR STUDENTS AND PRECARIOUS WORKERS).

MAXIMUM 25 STUDENTS PER CLASS FROM KINDERGARTEN TO 12TH GRADE. (more taxes)
======================================================

Some more context: avg CEO pay vs average worker pay for several countries.
Graphic.
CEO pay vs avg worker pay for top US companies, includes S&P500 and a value from 1965. JCPenney 1800:1.
Canada's top 10 paid CEOs.
Avg CEO pay vs avg worker pay, more countries.

Difference in Wall Street profits 2007-2009 vs unemployment rate difference, vs avg American's house equity difference. Graphic.

The one I can own to is that the causes of forced migration are treated. If the causes were even only considered, that would open a bottomless pit of enquiry and revelation.
