France - Macron Government Halts Fuel Taxes

The French government, via its Prime Minister Eduard Philippe, has promised to halt (or at least delay for six months until a debate can be held) the fuel taxes foreseen for 1 January 2019, a move seen as giving in to the ‘yellow vest’ protesters after the country experienced the worst rioting since the student uprising of 1968.

Prime Minister Philippe announced the measures in a nationwide address together with other members of parliament from the ruling party of President Macron, La Republique en Marche, stating: "The French people who have put on yellow vests love their country. We share those values."

But the Prime Minister also urged the violence to stop: "the main role of the state is to guarantee public order but we must fight against anything that endangers the unity of the nation."




He explained that the six-month suspension would be applied not only to fuel tax increases, but also to planned hikes in electricity and gas prices and even to strict vehicle emissions controls.

The opposition parties in France have immediately demanded that Mr Macron’s government would scrap the tax altogether as a delay could lead to more massive street protest again in the spring of 2019.




The move is seen as a weakening of the French government of President Macron as those who oppose his future measures now know that they only have to protest violently in Paris for a few Saturdays on end in order to get what they want.




On the other hand, Macron was left with few reasonable choices at this point. With tourism bookings for Paris down 50%, restaurants losing 20 to 40% of their bookings, and his popularity polls in the low twenties, the French President either had to give in or slam down the protesters.

After even some of his own police forces started questioning the measures instructed by his (inexperienced) government, President Macron could be a sitting duck for the next years to come.

The problem is that he now admits to do what he has vowed to fight against when he was elected. He is seen as capitulating to street protest, a measure of protest France is known for, and something President Macron had previously vowed to stop.

Next year it looks like just the carbon taxes on gasoline in Alberta will be a hint over 43.5 cents per US gallon.

Just the provincial carbon tax on natural gas is 115% of the cost of natural gas itself.

This sounds like a bait and switch low introductory credit card rate. How some people fall for this I have no idea.

They want to tax the common man to death to fill their criminal pockets by wielding their great lies and spun fantasia about how they can stop natural climate change due to a polar shift that's been happening since time began. We are human beings existing on a rock that is flying through space in the middle of endless galaxies for God sake!!! Has inbreeding caused such stupidity, that they actually think that people should believe their lying schemes to rape, pillage, and enslave the masses, based on their insane ideology that they are somehow above the rest of the world and should be enriched by the sweat of a working man's brow, so they don't have to work a day? Who the hell do they think they are to tax the breath of every living being from his day of birth till the end of life? WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE LOATHSOME COLD-BLOODED SOULESS MANIPULATORS??? SERIOUSLY!!! WHAT ARE THEY???!!!

THEY ARE PSYCHOPATHS AND SOCIOPATHS OF THE 33RD DEGREE.

There are 33 degrees in the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry as practiced in the U.S., which includes those of Craft Masonry.

CRAFT- sly, cunning, crafty, wily, tricky, foxy, artful, slick mean attaining or seeking to attain one's ends by guileful or devious means. sly implies furtiveness, lack of candor, and skill in concealing one's aims and methods.

IN OTHER WORDS SCHEMERS AND LIARS FOR HIDDEN AGENDAS. MONEYMONGERS AND MONEYCHANGERS WHO USE DECEITFUL MEANS.

Nahum 3:4
Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.

Daniel 8:25
And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

Acts 19:23-28
23And the same time there arose no small stir about that way. 24For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen; 25Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth. 26Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands: 27So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. 28And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

Psalms 83:3
They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

2 Corinthians 4:1-5
1Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 3But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

1 Timothy 6:10 - For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Matthew 6:24 - No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

1 Corinthians 13:8 - Charity never faileth: but whether [there be] prophecies, they shall fail; whether [there be] tongues, they shall cease; whether [there be] knowledge, it shall vanish away.

Hebrews 13:5 - [Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

1 Timothy 6:5 - Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

2 Timothy 3:2 - For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

James 2:5 - Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

1 John 2:15 - Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Matthew 19:23-24 - Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

NOTICE: IT STRESSES THAT IT IS THE (LOVE)OF MONEY THAT IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL. NOT MONEY ITSELF. THE MISQUOTE THAT MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL IS INCORRECT, WHEN IN FACT IT IS THE LOVE OF MONEY.


A SAD DAY INDEED WHEN ONE'S IDENTITY LIES IN THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR AND DECADENT DISPLAYS OF EGOTISTICAL MENTAL MALFEASANCE.

I'm sorry I meant to say pole shifts, which have been happening since time began. And pole shifts cause naturally occurring climate change world wide.
