Much respect to the Lebanese People, who have been taking the streets to protest corruption of their politicians for the past month, even in the face of Military deployment in the streets.
In fact, the Lebanese prime minister, Saad Hariri offered his resignation after a tentative deal to appease the masses failed, the latter demanding nothing short of the government's resignation. This sets an incredible precedent of the people getting their powers in place, hopefully, one that other countries will follow suit.

It's also very inspiring, since many (most) Lebanese also speak French, it's like seeing two totally different perspectives.

The climate of insurrection is just starting.
Also, if anyone's planning on travelling to France in December, be warned, as the General Strike (Greve Generale) will be happening on December 5th, will likely to paralyse all transports and other sectors, including most likely airports.

Goose bumps as Juan Branco takes the stage at an uber-elitist conference, to drop some red-pills to the audience. Bravo!
By the way, sitting next to guy who was Trump's policy advisor, and who's now selling the public a Chinese NWO agenda, and coming out candidly and coherently like he did, that's ballsy.

This week is reported to be a symbolic time in France, with the General Strike across many sectors, to protest against proposed pension reforms starting Dec 5, incl. firefighters, law enforcement, doctors and nurses in the public sector, teachers, and their respective unions. A real convergence that is likely to bring a lot of confrontation with tear gases.

Bolivian President Evo Morales who was deposed by a violent US-led coup in the past weeks, here talking with his Ecuadorian counter-part. Unfortunately, no english subtitles yet (or in french). They basically discuss the reasons for Morales' resignation and how he has escaped an assassination attempt surviving a helicopter crash; the lithium reserves at play, and Correa suggesting they should create an independent comission for investigating the conflict. Ironically Correa suggests people from Carter Centre, the Vatican and whatnots to do so.

France, yesterday with over a million people all over the country. The biggest march against a reform since '95.
The violence against people also keeps on increasing. You can really tell, as the trauma keeps on growing, so does the repression.

the link above shows a regimen of firefighters on strike on the frontlines pushing back the police. Quite a symbolic move!

A lot has sure happened since I last posted here...

Lebanese PM Hassan Diab announced resignation of entire government amid protests triggered by explosion (RT)
Footage clip from CBC.

This of course follows the crazy explosion that hit Beirut last week, and as yet unresolved case.
Now the whole government has stepped down, leaving a vacuum that could lead to a tense transition.

In his resignation speech, PM Hassan Diab let's some interesting notes:

"We are still under the shock of the tragedy that struck Lebanon. This disaster which has hit the Lebanese at the core, occurred as a result of chronic corruption in politics, administration and the State.

I previously said that the system of corruption is deeply-rooted in all the functions of the state; nevertheless I discovered that the corrupt system is bigger than the State, and that the latter is constrained by this system and cannot confront it or get rid of it.
Full speech here

Crazy times to be alive! More to come soon..

PS: what worries me is that Macron seems hell-bent on "helping" Lebanon.. whatever that means, it's probably his goons taking the power* (*high-octane speculation)
