Massive protests are breaking out all across France as I write this. 80,000 police officers have been mobilized. Unlike the yellow vest movement, this movement is primarily composed of leftists.

In the coming days, the unions will mobilize and come out onto the streets. France, as a country, will cease to function at least for a while. The crisis deepens with no end in sight...

It looks like this is the fate of the west. Deepening crises with no solution on the horizon, slowly circling the drain before ending up in complete irrelevance.

The frustrating thing is there are solutions, but the ones proffered by the "leaders" just lead deeper into the morass. As the Western economies collapse, we'll see a lot more of this.

It's the result of bankrupt leadership.

Morally and monetarily. Worldwide, we are seeing mass revolts against inept and immoral leaders. Nepal is literally throwing them off of buildings today. Make no mistake, there is a growing global revolution against the entrenched powers.

I've heard of circular firing squads before, but I thought it was just a figure of speech.

The expression is mostly metaphorical these days, but they are (or were) quite real. :)

Metaphorical is the word I couldn't think of, thanks, but a quick search didn't reveal to me such a thing as a historical reality, although firing squads are/were sometimes shaped as a semi-circle.

That was very insightful. Thank you. I've been stepping back from the circus (and into the woods) more, and choosing what I read and who I listen to with more discernment. This was a good use of my time. Best to you.

I am honored and humbled to have been worthwhile. I try very hard to bring a little scope and sanity to global events. Going into the woods is my favorite retreat. It's a healing place and the silence is brilliant. Thank you for dropping by.

Think of the climactic scene in "Raiders of the Lost Arc". Don't look!

Had to some research on these fancy words your painting. Isn't the greatest trick the devil ever pulled is convincing the world it didnt exist? Don't the pale green horse in last years Olympics. The Global mafias bombs are landing on friendly allies now, and 9/11 ain't even here yet!

We have to remember that the "apocalypse" narradigm is implanted to further control and hookwink us. "They" are trying to make us think it's the End Times to create the kind of frenzy we see building right now. Why, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Dome of the Rock collapse sooner than later, and bonfires of red heifers start up shortly afterward. "They" are literally trying to create Armageddon to destroy the current order and install their fresh new world order on the ashes.

Inbreeding!

Can't add much to your commentary Mr. Farside other than to say that I've been shaking my head at how easily the masses are lead ever since that little incident in Dallas back in 63. You mentioned Hearst--His remember the Maine was an early example of how readily the people rally behind false flags. Seems that the only job government takes seriously is pulling lots and lots of wool over easily misdirected eyes.

Nail on the head. Humans are herd animals, and when they react in fear, they circle the wagons around perceived leaders. This is why we've been in a perpetual emergency since the early 20th century: war,, terrorism, climate, ozone. It's a never-ending parade of fear porn designed to keep us permanently attached to power structures. As FDR said, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." In the simple sentence, he gave us both the means of control and the way out.

Precisely put, good sir. If you haven't read Edward Bernay's book "Propaganda," it will blow your mind. This early 20th century treatise is the exact playbook for what we see right now. It is truly a "psy-op" in every sense of the term.

The only CIA agent you know about...

Folks are wise to keep a wide berth around the GeezerMedia. It is highly toxic and even a small amount will poison your mind. I'm not just saying this to be alarmist. I worked in the GeezerMedia (NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, FOX, CNN, MSNOW, all the usual suspects. I've spent the latter part of my life trying to atone for those sins.

Nepal seems like such a peaceful place at the roof of the world, but the corruption there has gotten so bad they are lighting the PM's wife on fire, throwing politicians from the roofs of buildings, burning the parliament, and literally ripping the place apart. While I understand the impulse, I have to wonder who's behind it (US most likely) and what the endgame is.
