The climate change scam coming home to roost.
Via Boston Herald:
“Is Paris burning?”
That is what Nazi leader Adolph Hitler shouted at his military commander in occupied Paris as the U.S.-led Allies advanced on the German occupied city in the summer of 1944. “Brennt Paris?”
French President Emmanuel Macron, calling from the recent G-20 conference in Argentina during the outbreaks of riots in Paris and elsewhere in France, could have asked the mayor of Paris the same thing.
In Hitler’s case, it wasn’t. For Macron, Paris was burning, and it still is.
Back in August 1944, German Gen. Dietrich Hugo Hermann von Choltitz, Hitler’s Paris commander — and an admirer of French culture — disobeyed Hitler’s order and prevented the destruction of the famous city. He was hailed as the “Savior of Paris.”
Macron, the one-time wonder boy of French politics, and a climate change visionary, was the villain. He lit the match.
Working-class rioters for the fourth week in a row launched violent protests against the Macron government over increased anti- global warming fuel and gas prices as well as their diminished economic status. It is called the “Yellow Vest” protest in that many of protesters wear high visibility yellow safety vests that motorists carry in their vehicles.
By the time they were through last weekend, Paris looked — and looks — like a war zone. And the protests are not yet over even after Macron caved and promised tax cuts and increased wages.
Macron’s Paris is a mess. Its wide elegant boulevards around the Arc de Triomphe are littered with overturned and burned cars, glass and debris from smashed store windows and empty tear gas cannisters.
Restaurants and shops are closed, stores are looted, and the whiff of tear gas is in the air. Tourists have fled. French police have arrested hundreds, both in Paris and in other cities where similar protests took place. One person was killed and hundreds more injured.
In the City of Light, the city is nightly lit up with the burning hulks of more than a hundred cars. Their still-smoking carcasses are on hand to greet Macron whenever he makes a rare appearance.
Indeed, the iconic Arc de Triomphe itself, a symbol of all that is France, has been vandalized and scarred with anti-Macron graffiti. And the violent protests continue.
It is a bitter pill for Macron, the globalist, to swallow. He wanted to run the world. But if you can’t run Paris, let alone France, how can you possibly rule the world?
