Army Headed for Paris, Eiffel Tower Closed As "Yellow Vests", "Gilets Jaunes" Protests Set to Escalate, MSM in Damage Control, Police Remove Helmets in Support

France on the Verge of a Revolution?

If you want a quick rundown on the "Gilets Jaunes" movement with mind-blowing footage, check out view my last post to get you updated with the protests in Paris, France here.

Apparently, last night the French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe stated the government is deploying an additional 8000 officers in Paris, 89,000 nationwide as well as a dozen armored vehicles of the 'French Gendarmerie'.

Now images are surfacing on the internet of the military vehicles being transported and arriving in Paris. The government is expecting more protests, with suspicions that they will also be increasingly violent. Eric Douret, a leader in the yellow vest movement has stated they even plan to reach the official residence of Emmanuel Macron, the Elysee Palace with the upcoming protests.

Authorities now will close the Eiffel Tower, as well as other sites and museums this Saturday in attempt to minimize the violence. According the national Federation of French markets, the Christmas tourism and shopping has been severely affected claiming that their members have suffered a 30 to 40 percent drop in their figures since the unrest began on November 17.

Since then, officially four people have died in accidents, including an 80 year old woman who was hit with a tear gas canister through her window. On my last post, there's footage of 3 people being shot and apparently killed but those reports have not been confirmed by media. Click here to see that post and footage. Also over 400 arrested and over 130 have been injured.

The protests initially were catalyzed by increased diesel taxes but have spiraled into much more. Though Macron and the government have been caving in, making concessions, the movement seems to be growing and gaining steam still. High school students are even chanting "Macron resign!" in walk-out protests.

Trump took shots at Macron in a tweet, pointing out how the Paris climate accords is a scam by elites to tax the average worker while protecting the biggest corporate polluters, which the French are finally getting wind of.

And so the fake, globalist controlled media aptly responded by going into a tail-"spin" of "fact-checking". The MSM is claiming Trump is falsifying information and misleading people, when it is clear sarcasm... But what else should one expect?

MSM sources are doing whatever they can to minimize and undermine the significance of these events. The media has even stooped so low as to blame Facebook algorithms for the riots in Paris. Not globalism, not taxes, not increased wealth inequality, not crushing debt, not immigration but social media...

In another aspect, the media is describing the protests as far right and far left protesters converging and though this obviously seems to be true, the media is overlooking a very key point. What makes these protests different is that upwards of 80% of people in France support the yellow vest movement. This is not an angered fringe group or minority, this IS the majority of the people as the media would like the world to believe. This IS the white working class standing up to globalist traitors and fake politicians who decry nationalism and patriotism.

In light of that, I thought I'd attach some more positive and uplifting videos of the protests I've found. If you want to see a darker side of the protests, I suggest you see my last post's videos.

Another important note is that there are several videos of police removing their helmets to stand with protesters, disobeying orders from Macron! Not much mention by the MSM, go figure!

Video of police removing helmets in solidarity:

Video of protesters laying cement and cinder blocks in front of parliament gates

Video of protests pouring manure on government building doorstep

Video of yellow vests helping person in burning building:

Video of thousands filling the streets:
