You can't pretend to be prescient, without being a little more specific, "Q".
Do your own research and you will know, but of course you wont, because you are one of those spoon fed the world by a media who publish only what they are told.

Poor answer. You are the one claiming you have some kind of prescient understanding. But when asked to be more clear, you obfuscate.

Suggesting I do my own research is ironic, bearing in mind your "research" consists of reading other warped viewpoints from random people on the internet whose statements happen to fit your preferred narrative.

And you consistently resist the challenge I keep making of going to look for yourself what is actually happening with regard to the yellow vests in France. You could pop over - and you could even speak to some of the protesters, easily checking how well what you are reading corresponds with reality.

But you refuse, as deep down you would rather preserve the alternative reality constructed on the internet, than risk exposing it to some kind of reality check. So you shouldn't be surprised when people conclude you lack credibility on this topic.

Just to say that I drove to the Alps the other day - Eurotunnel then 600 miles of motorway. I was stopped and inconvenienced by precisely zero yellow jackets. I saw some yellow jackets in car windows, but then I was carrying one myself, it being a legal requirement in France.

I don't doubt that there are protests going on - see BBC news story underneath which outlines the latest - but based on my personal experience it's clearly not all that widespread.

Well they seldom protest in the middle of an autoroute, even protesters don't want to get run over. If you'd been via various town or city centres, the experience [i]may[i/] have been a bit more informative.

Fair point. But I'd been let to believe that autoroute peage booths had been picketed, entrances to motorways, ports, that sort of thing.

Not the case.

1: So how long have you spent on your research? Or did you have some more brainwashing mind control from MSM telling you it's a conspiracy by a few tinfoil,pot smoking,alcoholic internet trolls and thought idiots. Last time I looked there are about 12 conspiracy theories that are proven correct. ( Do your own research)
2/3/4: The storm is happening now.. Over 66,000 indictments in place,military tribunals happening now,black hawks and huge aircraft activity around GITMO. Huge prison barges been built,GITMO expanded to fill with the evil Democrats 80% and many Traitor deep state Republicans. Hollywood(Pedowood) arrests coming in,pedowood in complete panic mode ( Think K Spacey,R kelly,I could go on and on) do your own research. Just a conspiracy. Oh and of course the huge Space Force program. You did see all the secret letters handed out at Bush's funeral( Those faces like seeing a ghost was pure gold)

911 building 7 is now being fully investigated... You know that conspiracy.

Apart from the horrors I've learnt over the last 11/12 months it's just so nice to know what's happening other than being someone some clueless as yourself.

Just a Question..... How long do you spend on what is happening in America/Canada news? Or do do you read from your garbage news "Orange man bad " "Grab them by the pussy bigot" "Russian collusion". Over two years $25 million spent and nothing,Impeach impeach,about the only thing that came out of it is that Evil Hillary is the Russian spy (Uranium One) but you knew all this right but then so did Mr Trump. I spend many hours a day just on America,have you been watching all the news live,the main speeches?

So Eddie before you try to insult me just remember I study news 12-15 hrs a day (Not every day) from Europe/US/Canada mainly and your going to have to be a very brave man to take me on what is happening.
I guess you knew that Norway after 30+ years of being Socialist has now become a Con/National Populist Government.

I'm not quite sure if I've established if you are one of the remoaners ? Why oh why would you be when the EU /Europe is in complete collapse.. EU army? I won't mind getting my pitch fork out against these lot biggrin Germany building an Army scratchchin

EDITED:

And if you are one these that are quite happy with open borders and the immigration pact then watch this. Everyone who hasn't should watch it.

So you spend up to 15 hours a day on the internet reading conspiracy theories? If true, honestly, that makes me feel sad, as that isn't healthy for you or your family.

There is nothing wrong with being generally sceptical or even having a cynical outlook. Based on what you have written though, it sounds like these conspiracy theories have become an obsession for you.

I'm not going to try and ridicule you, and nor am I expecting you to take my advice. But I would suggest turning the laptop off for a few days, give your mind a rest, and take some long walks so you can place the cacophony of noise on the internet into some kind of perspective.

It might be, but I've been here one of the longest, so I'd like to think that earns me a place near the top of the list.

Since when is reading alt news a conspiracy? You know the alt news and journalist that government/google/FB/twitter are trying to silence.
If you want to compare life experiences/wealth then you might want to get a bucket ready,I retired at 35 You?
Why don't you fact check some of the things that are happening? And because I seem to be dealing with someone so out of touch with the world I'll give you a clue.. Don't try your regular search of Guardian/Independent/bbc because your mind controlling/biased/brainwashing garbage won't find what your looking for.

EDITED:

I've also noticed you seem to be avoiding any of my Q's

wwg1wga

I spent 10 months what they call flash packing.
I spent 23 months living out of a backpack and ticking off all the high adrenaline activities,walked some of the most spectacular scenery,lived on a beach for 9 years taking the occasional time off to go explore or do other things.
I've been retired 18 years (53 now) and saw and did more in one year than you will in your life.
You still want to tell me how I should live my life? Same as the Globalist elites want to tell me how I should live it!!


Sorry to those on the thread that are reading this and thinking "where did I go wrong" I'm not willy waving just simply trying to put some out of touch person on his high horse who tells me how I should live my life in his place.

And Eddy if it's ok with you I am going out today so byebye

Well done. You sound like you have had some great achievements. Retiring at 35 is impressive. Good for you!

There are some very unimformed comments on this thread.The readon why you are not encountering protestors is that Macron has announced his big debates and is being given the benefit of doubt,if nothing happens with them,the protest will start again.
The protests have not subsided in Bordeaux or Toulouse(last Saturday was Toulouse’s biggest turn out),Bordeaux was again smothered in gas and flash balls outside the Hotel de Ville.
Social media will give you the truth,not an agenda of “we have this under control”.

It's not come without hard work,risk taking, the up's the downs,the heartache,the heartbreaks in life we all endure. We all just have to "hope" that the up's overcome the downs.(And all legal before you think I'm some Marbella underworld criminal) smile
Eddy, I also appreciate what you are doing right now in taking a few months out skiing, chateau's etc and enjoying your life. clap But get your head out of what is being brainwashed to you and that any news other than what you read is fake conspiracy.

Heading out now,car has been defrosting/warming up on the drive for 10mins... And I live off the beaten track if you think that's irresponsible.

Have a lovely day what ever you have planned.

Personal knowledge of the racist wker ten doors away from me who stood as a UKIP councillor and then MP leads me to think that if he's in any way representative of UKIP as a party, the reality is far worse than it's presented in the media. It may be that he's an outlier, of course. Worse than his racism and overt homophobia is his utter stupidity; a house brick is capable of deeper thought.

I can remember PetrolTed telling me about his "internet forum" something like '98 or '99 and being completely lost as to what on earth it was or was going to be. He might as well have been showing a quadratic equation to an Amazonian tribesman. hehe

Anyway, you're right. I apologise for jumping the queue! getmecoat
