Hi, Dear Steemians
It has been a long time since my last post, but I wasn't home but in Malaysia and very busy at external things, but now, here I am, back in Steemit.
I have many things to say, I use to write all the post ideas on a little notebook, but right now as I need my ideas back to write a post, the notebook is nowhere to be seen,hopefully it must be somewhere and I will find it certainly when I will look for something other. Without my list of annotations I have many things to talk about some news, some crypto things as the market is less boring lately (lets hope it will continue on the same pattern), some crispy stories from some Steemians (but have to wait a little for some development), also some ideas that may interest communities), and much more... Today, I will start with some news coverage from the Yellow Vests crisis in France, I have made a series of posts about it and will continue to do so as it is a very important topic.
Since the beginning of the Yellow Vests crisis 21 weeks ago, the French people have proved that today's society (political, democratical, health industry, financial, economical, consumerist, and migratory....) isn't acceptable anymore. Yellow Vest are really fighting the whole system bringing a level of fear never seen before among the government, all political parties, the banks and financial institutions such as the IMF, the lobbies, and now exporting the fear too many countries (around 37) where Yellow Vests movement is now present. For many years people around the world are suffering from a political decision that is no more in the interests of the people. At the same time, with the fast technologies advancement, the mass surveillance, and the use of strange laws, people have the fear to talk about what they are seeing or thinking, as today it is easy to get fined or being jailed for a word or even a thought. In many western countries, the society is really starting to look like in the famous book from George Orwell titled "1984" representing a society far above communism where individuals everyday life is under close monitoring from a very repressive government. Year after year we can see that the real world is looking more and more like in the George Orwell book, and if people are talking about the abuses of this new society, they get punished by big fines or being jailed and called publicly an "enemy of the democracy and human right" and often called as Nazi, extremist, conspirationist, or all kind of bad representation in the eyes of the mass.
At the beginning of the movement, the claims were all about the cost of living and the heavy hands of the government in the taxes. Today's situation in France is so bad that many people who are working cannot feed themselves for the month with their salary. Many people who are working end up in the street, people working for government agencies cannot afford the rent for a small apartment so they end up sleeping in their car. For unemployed people who have monthly help from the government for a two year period, government agencies are dragging them into some kind of legal traps, they are using laws that they interpreting in the way they need to cancel the monthly help. This kind of government behaviors has let a very big percentage of people without nothing and even the people are fighting back with associations and lawyers, it take about 3 to 5 years to get the cases in the court. During this time people are left with nothing. It is difficult to talk about all these bad behaviors from the French government as they acting like a mafia in every sector of society. European Central Bank is also involved in all the government scam against the people, and not only in France. When people are saying how bad EU is and the need to get out of EU, all the foot soldiers of the system are telling people in the mainstream media that people don't understand that the need for more EU is necessary to solve these problems, when we all know that the main reason for this situation is due to EU regulations. Also, French people have voted in 2005 referendum to not get part of the EU, but N. Sarkozy, after seeing that French people rejected EU, has decided by himself to suspend the people votes and to accept EU.
After 21 weeks of demonstration in all major cities of France, but also in villages, on highways, at big road intersections, in front of French and EU parliament, in front of major banks (like Rothschild, JPMorgan,Goldman Sach and other banks), in front of the headquarters of mainstream media and big companies (like France Tele, BFM TV, Facebook and other GAFA). With all the shops of the world most famous boulevard, the Champs Elysee burned down in response to the abuse of violence from the government. The use of military forces against the demonstrations, the adoption of new laws that are against the freedom of speech, the civil rights and human rights, the use of violence and a large number of fatalities among the demonstrators. The people are tired of all the nonsense of this government and the EU, and for the first time since the beginning of the protest, they have changed their slogan and are now shouting "Revolution" for the past three weeks.
Things are looking bad for the French government and President E. Macron is more lonely day after day, but I will talk about it in another post.

Welcome back @Ricko66, Now a days the situation in France is almost the same as 17 Century France. After having a long conversation with you , now i am stuck in new topic , from Babylon to France yellow vest revolution.
Hi, @kachinhenry, I am sure you have discovered many things out of this movement, the world is not always what it looks like and in the case of France many things are hidden from the public but the Yellow Vests have made a good job to expose it. I am sure this topic is surprising you to see how deep is the reasons behind the movement.
