This week we catch up on the multi-layered insurrection taking place in France, where the state is struggling to get a handle on things, amidst regular protests, strikes, fuel shortages, and the general drunken chaos of soccer hooliganism.
For the musical break, we’ve got Skalpel (of Première Ligne), with Le Rap, La Soul, La Vie…
Next up, check back in on the fearless militants of the CNTE, who have gone on strike in Mexico, and check out the Paro Nacional that has brought Colombia to a standstill. Finally we wrap things up with an interview with Marcela, of las Organizaciones Sociales de Arauca.

Interesting news you never hear about in depth.

dave, there is a lot of “news” you never hear about at all if you live behind the US MSM Iron Curtain.

i dont get it.
somebody explain it all to me.
why does France have a fuel shortage?
Just because of a labor disruption?
Which type of labor? all types?
I always admire the Europeans for their
ability to protest. Hurling molotov
cocktails, overturning police cars,
smashing windows,
The USA Americans have long since
lost their ability to protest. They got
so fat, now they just waddle back and
forth from Wal-Mart to the donut shop.
But the Europeans are all skinny and healthy
from protesting in the street and
jumping up and down and overturning
cars.
Anyway so why did the French run out of fuel?
The rest of us have lots of fuel.

they are crazy, violent, drunken sick rioting fucks. Yesterday I was entering my father’s building on the path of their demonstration, they threatened me, spat at me , telling me I was a “bourgeois sob” , pissing on the walls, tagging the walls, “decorating” the neighborhood with their ugly stickers, throwing their beer cans and Coke bottles everywhere ( isn’t Coke the epitome of global capitalism?), screaming their stupid mottos (“let’s stop working at 13”) and generally wreaking havoc (they
even ransacked a nearby children’s hospital, terrorizing the patients. Scenes of a pre-civil war. Condoned by a weak , incompetent French Leftist government.

seen, that is coming to a place near you. Be patient. All of the West is soon going to experience such activities. Shut down the SNAP cards in America for a few days and witness the riots that will make France look like a high school party. American’s burn down the cities.
Not many here remember the 60s riots.
“Major race riots have occurred in the United States at least since the Harlem Riots of 1948, but the 60’s surpassed anything previously experienced. The five day Watts riot in August, 1965 saw 34 people die and a thousand injured; and the 1966 Detroit riot, 43 deaths. Following Martin Luther King’s assassination in 1968, rioting broke out in over 120 cities including Chicago and Washington.”

I was in the Army National Guard in those days as a lieutenant. Riot control was part of our training.

These French riots are just theater. These dumbass French are lazy spoiled pussies. The real rioting and looting is in Venezuela because there the shortage of basics is present. The French have the best of everything across the board. Their whining is because their exceptionally high standard of living is being impacted slightly. The real rioting is coming when France begins to turn Venezuela with disruption to the basics. When you can’t get enough or the right kind of food that is when you really get pissed and scared. These French riots are a social activity much like the football violence. Venezuela is the real deal.
The global collapse process is now spawned and hatched. This systematically destructive change process is growing and multiplying. Since we are a complex interconnect economic and social system this reality will grow across a wide range of social sectors, economic networks, and impacting resource production. Economic systematic reactions much like hypothermia are going to occur. Areas will be disenfranchised by adaptive economic self-organizing principals of coagulating decisions by millions of people. The global system will see waves of reactions to global break down hot spots. Investments will bypass infected areas. Areas will fail and no longer connect. Syria is an example of an area disgarded.
Global investment and economic connectivity is the life blood of all delocalized locals. Every one of us live in a delocalized local of some degree because of our needs are met from a global system. We also have locals that are unsustainable at some level because of overpopulation, overconsumption needs and or lacking environmental resilience. The overpopulation is easy to understand. Overconsumption is a condition of a local needing economic activity other than the sustainable support of the local’s immediate environment. Large cities import goods and services from a distance. These needs will experience satisfaction compression quickly once the collapse process breaks the social and economic stability. Environmental resilience relates to a locals ability to survive an environmentally difficult area like a desert.
As large population see their needs unsatisfied they will protest. The degree of protest will vary by the disposition of the people. We have large populations of peoples deceived into thinking everything is fine at a basic level so as the basics are unmeet satisfaction compresses to a point where social cohesion breaks. Once social cohesion breaks it is hard to get stability back because these conditions affect economic activity and confidence. Velocity of money drops and dropping economic activity knocks on to more satisfaction compression. Infrastructure is damaged and normal investment and repair are skipped. This is the violent side of the economic vortex of destructive change we can characterize as collapse.
Collapse is a process and as a process it will spread as contagions with converging nodes of destructive change. Expect more of what is going on in both France and Venezuela. They are at opposing spectrums but both represent unmet satisfactions and blatant denial of the realities of a collapsing global world. Venezuela did not have to be so far into this process of collapse. Poor governess allowed this as much as oil price declines. France is an example of the very high expectations that will be among the early casualties of a decaying global system. The 1st world cannot maintain such high standards and these standards will be the first casualties once a global economic depression begins to sets in. Those regions already economically and socially unstable will fall into Venezuela style collapse where basics are in short supply. From here on out expect a maelstrom of violence and destructive change globally. This process is a frog boil and that is why many fail to see it. The above is the human side of decay that will accompany the economic side of decline.

Venezuela is an example of what happens when you disregard the man and reject the international bankers corporate interests.
MikeX11.2 on Wed, 15th Jun 2016 8:48 am
An uprising against the 1% WASN”T going to happen somewhere?
After what the bankers and Germany did to Greece?
After what they’re trying to do in France?

NOTE. The MSM is TERRIFIED to report this to the American Public.
makati1 on Wed, 15th Jun 2016 9:06 am
Mike, the American public is kept in the dark about a lot of things in the world outside the US MSM Iron Curtain. Most of what they do get is propaganda.
