We are receiving numerous accounts from readers there in cities outside of Paris where there are major protests and violence taking place that people have been unable to leave their homes while others report they cannot reach them. It appears that much of the protests outside of Paris are not being reported in mainstream media. This type of media blackout has been standard in hopes of preventing others from joining.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fancybox image\" href=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Bonus-Army-Police.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-58177 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Bonus-Army-Police.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Bonus-Army-Police.jpg 865w, https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Bonus-Army-Police-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Bonus-Army-Police-768x572.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Bonus-Army-Police-180x134.jpg 180w, https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Bonus-Army-Police-600x447.jpg 600w\" alt=\"\" width=\"365\" height=\"272\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fancybox image\" href=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Bonus-Army-Newspaper-Account.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51089 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Bonus-Army-Newspaper-Account.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Bonus-Army-Newspaper-Account.jpg 240w, https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Bonus-Army-Newspaper-Account-180x144.jpg 180w\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"192\" \/><\/a>There was a major protest in 1932 known as the Bonus Army were veterans from World War I who had demanded the bonus the government promised them. They occupied Washington and then President Herbert Hoover allowed the army to roll in tanks to get rid of the protesters who were there also with their\u00a0wives and children. That confrontation even played a major part in Hoover losing the election to FDR. Macron better study his history. There is serious potential here that we are witnessing a major political change coming to France.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, advocating protests over the environment is acceptable because it will justify more taxes.
