As Trump praises Putin, three Russian guided-missile cruisers have been arrayed across the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea to counter three NATO carrier strike groups, causing concern in the Pentagon, a U.S. defense official told USNI News on Tuesday.

Events surrounding the burgeoning invasion of Ukraine by Russia changes by the hour, getting more and more intense as the minutes tick by. Like I said the other day, if this is a bluff, it is the most-realistic bluff in modern day geopolitical history. It is eerily similar to the posturing and movements of Hitler on the eve of taking control of the Rhineland in 1936. In the midst of this riveting drama being played out in real time, former US president Donald Trump took the time to praise the Russian dictator, surprising even his most hardcore followers. Interesting move to say the least.

“A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.” Proverbs 29:11 (KJB)

I can’t imagine that praising Putin at this time of the incursion into Ukraine is going to age well, and should an actual, all-out Russian stomping of the Ukrainian people take place, Trump is going to come to greatly regret making these comments at this time. It looks for all the world that Putin is about to risk all-out war, he is rapidly approaching the point of no return.

Russian Navy Cruisers Positioned to Counter U.S., French and Italian Carrier Groups in the Mediterranean

FROM USNI NEWS: As of Monday, the three Slava-class cruisers were operating in and around the Aegean Sea – RTS Moskva (121) in the Black Sea, RFS Varyag (011) south of Italy and RTS Marshal Ustinov (055) off the coast of Syria, near Russia’s naval base in Tartus. Moskva is based in the Black Sea, while Marshal Ustinov traveled from the Northern Fleet and Varyag from the Pacific Fleet. Ustinov and Varyag entered the Mediterranean from opposite ends earlier this month.

The three 11,500-ton Slavas were designed around launchers that can hold 16 SS-N-12 Sandbox anti-ship cruise missiles – each about the size of a telephone pole. Developed in the 1970s, the Slavas and the Sandboxes were designed to take on U.S. and NATO aircraft carriers by overwhelming them with a barrage of high-speed cruise missiles to sink ships.

“I said, ‘This is genius,’” Trump said on a right-wing podcast. “Putin declared a big portion of … Ukraine … as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful. … I said, ‘How smart is that?’ And he’s going to go in and be a peacekeeper. That’s strongest peace force. … We could use that on our southern border. That’s the strongest peace force I’ve ever seen. There were more army tanks than I’ve ever seen. They’re going to keep the peace all right. Here’s a guy who’s very savvy … I know him very well. Very, very well.” source

The position of the cruisers around the Aegean is a complication for the U.S., Italian and French carrier strike groups that have been operating in the Mediterranean the last several weeks.

USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75), its escorts and Carrier Air Wing 1 have been tasked by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin since late December to remain on station in the region, as tensions between the West and Russia have been enflamed over Russian troops massed at the Russian border. Italian Navy F-35B aircraft carrier ITS Cavour (CVH-550) and French Navy carrier FS Charles de Gaulle (R 91) and their escorts are also operating in the Mediterranean.

As the Russians have massed naval assets in the Mediterranean and Black Sea, the U.S. has surged additional guided-missile cruiser and destroyers to U.S. 6th Fleet. As of Tuesday, the U.S. has about a dozen guided-missile warships operating in the region, USNI News understands. READ MORE

Paris Erupts As Hundreds Of Thousands Of French Citizens Riot In The Streets Protesting The Latest Move Of Antichrist-In-Training Emmanuel Macron

NOW THE END BEGINS SHARE:

Hundreds of thousands of people went on strike to demonstrate in France on Thursday after ‘Antichrist’ President Emmanuel Macron vowed to push on with a deeply unpopular pension reform despite escalating anger across the country.

What has Emmanuel Macron done to rile up the anger of the French people to such a degree? Oh, not much, just attempting to ram through highly unpopular legislation in his own government without allow the duly-elected representatives of the French people to cast their votes. You might say to me that these latest riots disprove our assertion that Macron could be the biblical man of sin who becomes the Son of Perdition, Antichrist, after the Rapture of the Church. But we would disagree, and here’s why.

And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.” Daniel 11:36 (KJB)

Emmanuel Macron, whether he is the coming Antichrist or not, is nonetheless imbued from the top of his point head to the bottom of his sooty feet with a haughty, arrogant spirit that despises the rule of law and the will of the people. He has shown this and proven this time, and time, and time again since his election in to power in 2017. And yet…wait for it…Emmanuel Macron was reelected in a veritable landslide. How can this be?? To quote Kramer from ‘Seinfeld’, “oh it be, man, it be”. There is just Something about Macron that makes Pope Francis fall in love with him, that makes the most powerful ruler in the Middle East, Mohamed bin Zayed, rush to his side. Remember when he stood on the balcony of the White House with his arms around President Trump and casted the sign of Satan over America? If you have a King James Bible, it’s all in there, you should open it up and check it out sometime before Flight #777 takes off.

Mass protests in France after Macron vows to continue with ‘no vote’ pension reform legislation

FROM FRANCE 24: Protests against the legislation — which lifts the retirement age by two years to 64 — have drawn huge crowds in rallies organised by unions since January. Labour unions said Thursday’s ninth nationwide day of action would draw huge crowds against what they described as Macron’s “scorn” and “lies.”

Macron drew an angry response from unions and opposition parties on Wednesday when he rejected their calls for him to heed growing popular anger.

“The best response we can give the president is that there are millions of people on strike and in the streets,” said Philippe Martinez, who leads the hardline CGT union.

Thursday’s strike will see train traffic seriously disrupted, with airports also affected, and teachers among many professions walking off the job, while rolling strikes continue at oil depots and amid garbage collectors.

Speaking on Wednesday, Macron stuck to his guns saying the new law was necessary and would come into force later this year.

He dismissed calls to fire his prime minister, Elisabeth Borne, who has been at the forefront of the pension reform, and sought to turn the page, tasking her with broadening her parliamentary majority and re-engaging with unions.

“He has put more explosives on an already well lit inferno,” Socialist Party head Olivier Faure said.

The latest wave of protests represents the most serious challenge to the president’s authority since the “Yellow Vest” revolt four years ago. Polls show a wide majority of French opposed to the pension legislation and the government’s decision to push it through parliament without a vote. READ MORE

Riots Ensue In Paris After Emmanuel Macron Uses Special Constitutional Powers To Force Through Retirement Age Bill Against The Wishes Of His People

Published

on

NOW THE END BEGINS SHARE:

French President Emmanuel Macron imposed a highly unpopular bill raising the retirement age from 62 to 64 on Thursday by shunning parliament and invoking a special constitutional power.

Maybe Emmanuel Macron is not the biblical man of sin, we think he is, but even if not he sure has a lot of Antichrist-like tendencies like forcing through a bill that, to date, millions of French people have taken to the streets of Paris to protest. The French people absolutely do not want the retirement age to be raised, but Macon used a little-known power granted him by the French constitution to force it through. Now police are arriving to the streets in riot vans, prepared for the worst.

“And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.” Daniel 11:3 (KJB)

Remember the time that Emmanuel Macron and his elderly wife visited President Trump at the White House, and raised up the horns of Satan, the sign of Antichrist, over Washington, DC? Ahh, good times, good times. Yes sir, as I see it, Emmanuel Macron is on a trajectory that is going nowhere but up, and once arrived at, will last for right around 7 fun-filled years. In the meantime, it’s ‘practice, practice, practice’ for the man of sin in training. “Liberté!, Egalité!, Fraternité!”, right, Manny?

Macron shuns parliament to raise French retirement age

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS: Lawmakers were shouting, their voices shaking with emotion as Macron made the risky move, which is expected to trigger quick motions of no-confidence in his government. Riot police vans zoomed by outside the National Assembly, their sirens wailing.

The proposed pension changes have prompted major strikes and protests across the country since January. Macron, who made it the flagship of his second term, argued the reform is needed to keep the pension system from diving into deficit as France’s population ages and life expectancy lengthens. The decision to invoke the special power was made during a Cabinet meeting at the Elysée presidential palace, just a few minutes before the scheduled vote, because Macron had no guarantee of a majority in France’s lower house of parliament.

Then, as Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne tried to formally announce the decision at the National Assembly, leftist members broke into the French national anthem, delaying her speech. The speaker had to briefly suspend the session to restore order.

“Today, there’s uncertainty” about whether a majority would have voted for the bill “by just a few votes,” Borne explained. “We cannot take the risk to see 175 hours of parliamentary debate collapse … We cannot gamble on the future of our pensions. That reform is necessary,” she said.

Borne said her government is accountable to the parliament, prompting boos from the ranks of the opposition.

“In a few days, I have no doubts … there will be one or several no-confidence motions. There will actually be a proper vote and therefore the parliamentary democracy will have the last say,” she added.

One by one, opposition lawmakers emerged from the Assembly demanding the government step down. One Communist lawmaker called the presidential power a political “guillotine.” Others called it a “denial of democracy” that signals Macron’s lack of legitimacy. One union leader called it “institutional violence” and called for more strikes and protests. READ MORE

French lawmakers stand in protest against moves by Emmanuel Macron

Members of France’s National Assembly broke parliamentary rules by waving placards, booing the prime minister and singing the Marseillaise, protesting President Macron’s plan to push through an unpopular increase in the retirement age without a vote.

After weeks of targeted strikes, French President Emmanuel Macron refuses to change course on his plans to reform the country’s beloved pension system. Last week, unions across France upped the ante and launched an indefinite strike to force his hand.

Thousands Of Angry People Protest On The Streets Of Paris Against Pension Reforms By French President Emmanuel Macron To Raise Retirement Age

Millions are furious at President Emmanuel Macron as he attempts to increase the retirement age from 62 to 64, bringing France more into line with many of its EU neighbours and the UK, where the state pension age is 66.

Our candidate for the biblical ‘man of sin’ Emmanuel Macron is under siege at the moment, engaged in a massive battle with French protesters on the streets of Paris over his proposed pension reforms. Say what you will about Macron, but tension, strife and anger seems to follow him just about everywhere he goes, he just has that certain, special ‘Je ne sais quoi’ that makes him someone special in these end times we find ourselves in.

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;” 2 Thessalonians 2:3 (KJB)

The current riots against Emmanuel Macron and his draconian policies in now in its 6th wave, and has lasted for the past many weeks of the new year. Laurent Berger, the secretary-general of the CFDT union, said that based on initial figures, the numbers of demonstrators nationwide are expected to be the biggest since the beginning of the movement in January. All oil shipments in the country have been halted on Tuesday amid strikes at the refineries of TotalEnergies, Esso-ExxonMobil and Petroineos groups, according to the CGT.

Violence erupts in Paris as protesters clash with riot cops and thousands take to the streets over Macron’s hated pension reforms

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: Macron is is facing his biggest standoff with France’s trade unions since coming to power in 2017, as his flagship proposal hangs in the balance. Today marks the sixth day of nationwide strikes since mid-January, and could surpass the largest protests so far, with more than 1.27 million gathering on January 31.

Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said some 11,000 police were mobilised across the country, including some 5000 in Paris alone.

French unions promised the biggest protests yet with trains coming to a halt, fuel deliveries being disrupted and schools shut in response to government plans to raise the pension age. Strikes led to numerous public services and businesses being shut down on Tuesday, including oil refineries. Jean-Luc Melenchon, the hard-Left politician who came third in last year’s presidential election, was among those out on the Paris march. He called for all Left Wing parties to ‘unite, and stand up to the reforms’.

Authorities were bracing themselves with at least 260 demonstrations expected across the country, with police anticipating as many as 1.4 million taking part.

‘The strike has begun everywhere… with deliveries blocked from all the refineries this morning,’ said Eric Sellini, branch coordinator for national trade union body CGT.

The group launched a similar blockade last autumn that eventually saw petrol stations running out of fuel. Transport workers are also striking.  A fifth of flights were cancelled at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris and about a third of flights at Orly Airport, it was reported today. Thousands of UK travellers have been hit by the disruption, with dozens of flights and trains cancelled and ferries were delayed.

The government is hoping to rush through the reforms, which it hopes could be adopted by parliament by the end of March, with the changes slated to come into force in September. The law also stiffens the requirements for a full pension and would abolish privileges enjoyed by some public-sector employees, such as those at the Paris Metro. After initially claiming it was intended to make the system fairer, Macron’s government has now conceded the move is designed to increase savings. READ MORE
