5 striking VIDEOS that reveal the violence & compassion of France’s Yellow Vest protests

A shirtless man battling a water cannon; a cadre of riot cops beating a curled up demonstrator; the City of Lights awash in flames – these are the images that have shocked the world after nearly three weeks of protests in France.

The upheaval over soaring fuel prices has spread across the country, with the French government mulling the suspension of a fuel tax in order to placate the Yellow Vest protesters. Videos of the demonstrations, which began in mid-November, have captured both the extreme violence and acts of compassion that have emerged from the ongoing unrest.

Shirtless ‘piano man’ stares down a water cannon

Ironically, one of the heroes to emerge from the Yellow Vest protests is a vest-less (and shirtless) man who took on a water cannon.

As demonstrations heated up in Paris on November 24, one protester decided to exchange his vest for a pair of swimming goggles. A video of the shirtless Frenchman bravely enduring a thorough soaking from a water cannon gained notoriety, after what appeared to be a piano rolled through the already-dramatic scene. Actually, the wheeled wooden object turned out to be an old desk, but the scene still looked like it was lifted from an artsy fartsy French film.

Violence averted after cops remove helmets

The protests have not been devoid of compassion, however.

In the town of Pau, in southwestern France, police found a way to peacefully disperse protesters.

Footage posted on social media over the weekend shows a group of about two dozen police officers in riot gear removing their helmets while standing just meters away from demonstrators who were reportedly preparing to storm town hall. The crowd welcomed the peace gesture by applauding the police and singing the French national anthem.

Riot police curb-stomp a protester

Unfortunately not all of the videos to emerge from the protests are so whimsical or heart-warming. Footage purportedly taken at Rue de Berri, Paris – about a half a mile from the Arc de Triomphe – on Saturday shows a cowering protester being beaten by around ten riot cops.

In the video, the demonstrator is thrust to the ground by two officers, who then begin to kick and hit the curled-up man. Several other policemen then join in, using their batons and feet to beat the protester.

Urban warfare

A particularly gripping video, shot from a balcony by an onlooker, reveals the combat-like intensity of the clashes between the Yellow Vests and riot police. The footage shows a group of policemen attempting to stop the advance of a crowd of protesters.

At first, only a few demonstrators engage the cops. However, the mob of Yellow Vests quickly rallies and completely overwhelms the group of police. With the cops making a hasty retreat, more protesters swarm in from a side street, hurling objects as they close in on the police. With projectiles being thrown in all directions, the onlooker abruptly pulls the camera away and begins to shout.

Rekindling France’s revolutionary spirit?

A standoff at the Arc de Triomphe led some to draw parallels between the Yellow Vest protests and France’s revolutionary past. Footage of the encounter between protesters and riot police near the iconic monument shows a man kneeling in front of the arch, with his hands stretched out.

He is then joined by another demonstrator, clad in a yellow vest, who waves two French flags as he stands behind the kneeling man. The display of flag-waving fearlessness was seen as some as a modern-day rendition of Eugene Delacroix’s classic revolutionary painting, ‘Liberty Leading the People’.

CALIF. DEMS PLAN TO EXTEND MEDICAID TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

SOON COMING HERE TO ILLINOIS ALSO

Calif. Dems Plan to Extend Medicaid to Illegal Immigrants

Globalists destroying California

By Kimberly Leonard

A California lawmaker has pledged to re-introduce a bill that would allow adults who live in the state illegally to receive medical care paid for by the government.

State Assembly member Joaquin Arambula, a Democrat and a doctor, announced the plans Monday as the legislature convened at the state capitol, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Should the bill advance, California would become the first state to extend Medicaid coverage regardless of immigration status. State projections for last year’s bill found that 1.8 million people in California are uninsured and reside there illegally; roughly 1.2 million would qualify for Medi-Cal, the name of the state’s Medicaid program.

The legislation is being introduced ahead of a new governor entering office. Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom initially had vowed to seek a single-payer healthcare system for the state, but tamped down his rhetoric later in the campaign, focusing instead on extending coverage to the uninsured. Single-payer systems refer to one source of payment for all medical services, usually the government.

Arambula introduced a similar bill last session alongside state Sen. Ricardo Lara, but the final versions would have covered fewer people than they had both originally envisioned. They were narrowed to young adults, between the ages of 19 and 26, and to immigrants over the age of 65. Outgoing Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown refused to fund the provisions in the state budget.

The latest plan would carry an estimated price tag of $3 billion a year, according to California’s Legislative Analyst’s Office, which would be paid for by the state’s general fund. Medicaid is otherwise jointly funded by the state and federal governments.

Critics have questioned whether people in the U.S. illegally would move to California to receive healthcare benefits, which would increase state spending.

Under a Medicaid provision in Obamacare, anyone making less than roughly $17,000 a year qualifies for coverage. That provision, however, doesn’t apply to people who are in the U.S. illegally. Emergency departments provide medical care for people regardless of immigration status.

California has already extended Medicaid to people younger than 19 who are in the state illegally.

The migrant caravan trying to invade the USA is actually a DISEASE caravan

by Natural News – December 3, 2018

Thousands of migrant invaders trying to rush the United States border via Mexico are reportedly now having to undergo medical treatment because they’re infected with life-threatening diseases, reveal figures just released from Tijuana’s Health Department.

Officials in Mexico say that at least one third of the illegal caravan’s 6,000 members are suffering from HIV, tuberculosis, or one or more of a number of other serious illnesses that are putting local populations at risk of infection.

“There are three confirmed cases of tuberculosis, four cases of HIV / AIDS and four separate cases of chickenpox,” explains a Tijuana Health Department spokesman to reporters.” At least 101 migrants have lice and multiple instances of skin infections, the department’s data shows. There’s also a threat of Hepatitis outbreak due to unsanitary conditions.”

Since there’s nowhere else to house these infected people, hordes of them are currently occupying the Benito Juarez Sports Complex near the San Ysidro U.S.-Mexico Port of Entry, even though the facility is only capable of handling a maximum of 1,000 people.

Illegal migrants are being told “No Spitting” following spate of bodily fluid biohazards

Many of these “poor women and children,” as America’s fake news media is calling them, have extremely poor hygiene standards. Thousands of mostly younger men are reportedly coughing and spitting so much around Tijuana that officials there have had to put up “No Spitting” signs as a deterrent.

Meanwhile, local governments in Tijuana are at their wits end and running out of money as they attempt to deal with this illegal invasion.

“We won’t compromise the resources of the residents of Tijuana,” stated Juan Manuel Gastelum, Tijuana’s mayor, adding that the city is having to spend roughly $30,000 per day keeping the place livable in spite of the invasion.

“We won’t raise taxes tomorrow to pay for today’s problem,” he added.

Treasonous CDC bringing diseased migrants into U.S. for “treatment” – on the taxpayer’s dime

Since repeated attempts by “bleeding heart” leftists to let these hordes of illegals into the U.S. has thus far failed, the corrupt U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is doing its part to destroy the country by actually flying these diseased criminalsinto the country and shipping them to CDC medical facilities for treatment.

Reports indicate that the CDC is taking the diseased migrants to Georgia, where they’re now receiving medical care paid for by U.S. taxpayers.

“I think we will see many more flights bringing communicably sick illegals from the border to various military bases and then on to hospitals in the area,” one report explains.

“As you know, our government has been flying in dangerously ill illegals into the U.S. for a long time … most especially from Africa. It is a classified program.”

President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that he will not allow this illegal caravan to enter the U.S., warning that its members include dangerous and violent criminals of the likes of MS-13 – not to mention other violent criminals from overseas.

“You’re going to find MS-13, you’re going to find Middle Eastern, you’re going to find everything,” the President stated.

“U.S. Border Patrol agents have arrested a member of the infamous Salvadoran MS-13 gang who admitted to authorities that he traveled with a caravan of Central American migrants who were hoping to qualify for asylum in America.”

CAUGHT RED HANDED! GOOGLE CENSORSHIP EXPOSED

Caught Red Handed! Google Censorship Exposed

Jon Bowne | Infowars.com – DECEMBER 3, 2018

According to internal Google communications obtained by the Daily Caller, “Google employees debated whether to bury conservative media outlets in the company’s search function as a response to President Donald Trump’s election in 2016.”

This assault on Freedom Of The Press should be met with the talons of the Constitution but unfortunately Google, like Epstein and the Clinton’s, can hide their crimes behind a wall of elitist arbitration.

ISIS Calls for Bloodshed in New York City Over New Year’s, Suggests Package Bombs and Snipers

By Cassandra Fairbanks – December 3, 2018

A media group that does support for ISIS is calling for attacks on New York City this New Year — urging terrorists to use package bombs, silencers and mail bombs to “horrify and terrify.”

The latest call to action follows multiple threats from Jihadists for New Year’s Day.

Screen Shot 2018-12-03 at 4.49.34 PM

According to a report from PJ Media, a poster began circulating in mid-November showing a masked jihadist holding a bloody knife over a collage of images from the Berlin Christmas market attack in 2016. It said that “New Year’s Day is the date of retribution.”

“Shortly after that, an ISIS-backing media group released an image of a demolished cityscape with multiple fires, warning, ‘Soon, Allah willing, the disbelievers will see the very thing they feared: 1-1-2019,’” PJ Media reports. “That same group just released an image of an armed jihadist overlooking New York, stating the city named with a blood-splashed 1/1/2019.”

The text on the latest image quotes the late ISIS spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani urging his fellow terrorists to “hit them with the explosive belts and vehicle bomb, and shock them with adhesive explosives and packages, and harvest them with silencers and snipers, horrify and terrify them with the intrusions.”

Another ISIS supporting organization released an image of ISIS flags flying above the Vatican along with several jihadists on Via Della Conciliazione, PJ Media’s report says. The image was released shortly after another group of ISIS supporters, Al-Abd Al-Faqir, issued two assassination threats against Pope Francis.

In June, a 27-year-old California man, Everitt Aaron Jameson, pleaded guilty to plotting a Christmas Day bombing and shooting in San Francisco on behalf of ISIS. He was caught after discussing his plan to use pipe bombs to funnel people onto Pier 39 and shoot them en masse with undercover FBI agents who he believed were fellow Jihadis.

When Jameson’s home was raided, authorities found a handwritten letter that said: “you’ve allowed Donald Trump to give Al Quds away to the Jews,” seemingly referencing President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Jameson, a former US Marine, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for the plot.

8-year-old German girl bullied and stabbed by Arab child at migrant majority school – Teacher covers it up

By VOICE OF EUROPE

A news item from German broadcaster Sat 1 tells about the traumatic experience 8-year-old Yara had at a migrant majority school. She became an outcast, was bullied and even stabbed.

Little Yara was the last person in her classroom who spoke German at home. Her school can be characterised as a migrant majority school with Turks and Arab migrants as students.

“They needed to employ an interpreter to translate from German to Turkish or Arabic in order for the Turkish, Arabic people to even understand what was going on. I felt a bit lost and that’s when I realised how it must feel for my daughter,” the girl’s father, Mike F., tells Sat 1.

The bullying of Yara increased and it even ended with her being stabbed by an ‘Arab child’.

“She was just pushed down by an Arab child that she didn’t even know. This child slit her abdomen with a sharp object,” her father says.

“Naturally, she went to the teacher and showed her what happened. She was in pain and bleeding. The teacher totally downplayed the incident and actually made my daughter stay at school the rest of the day,” Yara’s father continues.

“Injuries from dangerous objects at an elementary school, and not informing the parents? Mike F. tries to approach the teacher about the incident, but is rebuffed… —I made the mistake of saying that it was Arab children; that was too much.”

“That’s when the deflecting started, the teacher said, ‘Oh, that happens in every schoolyard. It has nothing to do with where they come from.’”

Yara’s father told the school it’s far from normal and after the school board was informed things changed. The girl’s father has put Yara in another school where she is happy and has friends again.

The EU is getting desperate and urges all countries to sign dangerous UN Migration Pact

By Emma R.

EU Migration Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos urges all countries to sign the UN Migration Pact. As the agreement is “important” to the world.

On 10-11 December, the world’s countries are expected to sign the UN’s highly criticised Global Migration Agreement.

But several countries have already pulled out. In the EU there are at least six countries that will not sign. Among other things, they claim that the pact will promote even more immigration and pose a national security risk.

This weekend, Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that the governments signing the pact present a “serious risk” to their citizens.

Avramopoulos does not understand the criticism, he tells German Die Welt.

And he therefore wants the countries to take the next few days to reflect and then choose to join the Globalist migration pact.

Those who reject the migration pact have not studied it enough, he argues and says that the agreement, on the contrary, is good for the world because, according to him, it will lead to “orderly” immigration across the world and stop human trafficking.

Like other proponents, he points out that the agreement is not binding. According to the Migration Commissioner, it is also a betrayal to Africa not to join the Pact.

SHOCK VIDEO: MIGRANTS LAND BOAT ON CALIFORNIA BEACH 100 MILES FROM BORDER

Shock Video: Migrants Land Boat On California Beach 100 Miles From Border

Police arrested half the migrants and two suspected human smugglers

By Bob Price

Residents of a California beach community witnessed a surprising incident as a small boat packed with illegal aliens made landfall. The migrants made their way to the beach resort located about 100 miles from the Mexican border in a small panga boat.

Officials with the Laguna Beach Police Department tweeted a video showing the boat making landfall early Thursday morning and 13 illegal aliens running on shore. Police say that U.S. Border Patrol agents responded quickly and took custody of seven of the migrants and two suspected human smugglers who were allegedly waiting to pick up the migrants, the Orange County Register reported.

Laguna Beach Emergency Operations Coordinator Jordan Villwock told the local newspaper, “They (local residents) saw two men running for the cliffs. Officers were on scene in five minutes and immediately detained the two men who had ditched their life vests on the sand.”

A short time later, police found five more men hiding in the bushes and placed them in custody.

U.S. Border Patrol Agent Vincent Pirro told the local newspaper that of the two smugglers, one was a U.S. citizen and the other, an illegal alien on a “non-immigrant visa overstay.”

Officials said the panga boat is designed to carry up to 15 passengers. The video above shows 13 men running away from the boat and Border Patrol agents found 13 life vests, the Register reported. The agents seized the boat and nine gas cans.

Pirro said these types of long journeys are not that uncommon for human smuggling operations. “We see them leave from Ensenada a lot. They go around the Coronado Islands and north. They’ve gone as far as Half Moon Bay,” the agent explained.

The Register reported there have been 433 illegal aliens arrested 433 migrants illegally entering the U.S. via panga boats in the San Diego Sector since November 1, 2017. Pirro explained that the illegal aliens pay the smugglers between $13,000 and $17,000 for the boat ride to the U.S. Pirro said that makes it unlikely that the passengers were connected to the migrant caravan.

At least four of the men arrested were Mexican nationals and three others were Chinese, Pirro told the newspaper. The seven migrants face federal charges for immigration violations. The two men found waiting to pick up the migrants will be charged with human smuggling.
