Pictures From A French Mob - Watch As Sarkozy Bravely Retreats From Furious Frenchmen

Tyler Durden's picture




Despite groundless media reports that French president Sarkozy, who is up for reelection in April, is gaining on his challenger Hollande who has promised to undo virtually all the European fiscal pacts attained through blood, sweat, tears and countless contradictory headlines (more here), it seems that Sarkozys' appreciation by his fellow citizens has hit rock bottom. As AP reports, "Several hundred angry protesters have booed President Nicolas Sarkozy, forcing him to take refuge in a cafe protected by riot police as he campaigned in France's southwest Basque country." It appears that the European discontent is finally seeping rather aggressively into the core, and the political overhaul which many assume will take the Greek model of bloodless technocratic coups by banker appointed puppets may just not work too well elsewhere. In other news, the French now surrender to the French.

More:

Riot police surrounded the Bar du Palais where Sarkozy took refuge Thursday from the protesters who booed him throughout his visit to Bayonne. Sarkozy claimed the protesters were organized by the rival Socialist Party.

 

Inside the cafe, Sarkozy denounced "the violence of a minority and their unacceptable behavior."

 

The conservative Sarkozy trails Socialist candidate Francois Hollande, the front-runner in the two pronged April and May presidential election. Sarkozy declared his candidacy on Feb. 15.

I imagine that in the not-too-distant future being placed on the Federal Terrorist Watch List will be a mark of honor.  An old friend of mine was  proud of her place on Nixon's enemies list (but I can't find her name on it - she must have been using her maiden name).

Not so much.

The crowd is largely made up of Europeans. From Euskali.

Funnily enough, they are the same people who routed hard the German Carolus Magnus rear guard led by Frank Roland.

The Indo Europeans were so ashamed by this battle that they invented they lost it to Muslims, who were a formidable force in those days. This fabrication was collected under the song of Roland name.

But no, the Indo European Germans got their ass kicked by European Euskalis.

And it seems that once Europeans are giving hard time to Indo Europeans.

Would you wake up already?  The tired meme of the French running away is the result of freemasons' psyops.

 

Just like how these pukes were backing Hitler from the US, they were doing the same from France.  The entire 'world' war was architected and manipulated, in France as much as elsewhere.

 

Or are you proud of how the Americans nuked Japan and built concentration camps for German prisoners, killing them by the MILLIONS?  Who should feel more shame from all that?  FUCK AMERIKKKA and its dumb 'pride'.

Rich and powerful people meeting in secret is just a conspiracy?  A secret that big could never be kept. So the argument goes, in complete denial of both the Manhattan Project and the exposure of the Mafia in the 60s.  Examples of widely known secrets that were held for a very long time.

SBSS 17. Warren Buffett Paradigm Puppet By Silver Shield, on February 29th, 2012

This is a direct assault on the paradigm’s “Golden Boy” Warren Buffet and one of my most powerful videos I have ever done In the on going silver educational series the Silver Bullet and the Silver Shield, we explore Warren Buffett’s purchase of 130 million ounces of silver and its mysterious link to Barclay’s SLV. Beyond that, it is a stunning attack on how this once great individual investor has degenerated into a irrelevant hack that now moonlights as a paradigm puppet.  Please share this video with your favorite blogs and social media sites.

Some things never change. As the French say."La plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose." Right on schedule, on the eighth anniversary of the second Gulf War, once fortuitously known as Operation Iraqi Liberation (OIL), US Tomahawk Cruise Missiles rained down on the Libyan coast in yet another "humanitarian" enterprise sponsored by the genocidal madmen of Washington and the City of London and surprisingly, the Elysee Palace.
From thence has emerged the unlikely titular generalissimo of the assembled infernal engines of doom of the Evil Empire, the misanthropic Khazar homunculus Sarkozy who has managed to tear himself away from his notable libidinous excesses long enough to make amends for the Republic's open defiance of the "coalition of the willing" in the second Gulf slaughter. To prove his bona fides to his stepfather, CIA ghoul and éminence grise Frank G.Wisner, whose handprints are already manifestly and malignantly imprinted upon the fratricidal cataclysm enveloping the Middle East and North Africa, this stunted reprobate convened a quaint luncheon table around which were ceremoniously convened the various cowardly impresarios of the NATO/UN juggernaut whose dainty white hands, already drenched in blood of countless victims, picked at sumptuous fare as their eldritch and oleaginous host proudly informed them that French Mirage F-1s were already in the air on their way to the shores of Tripoli.

Yeah the French hate him. He really has to be happy that he can leave the country alive.  The French feel betrayed and fooled by him because he pulled France into new colonial wars, a period the French thought was over. Even the far right in France blames Sarkozy for his war policy on Northern Africa. They are ashamed that now again France was putting North Africa on fire. And they know that it will not pay-out for France in the long run. Hollande the next president is going to have a very hard time to improve again the relations with North Africa which are essential for the economic future of France. Sarkozy was a big accident in the French history.
