Protests erupted in the French capital again this week, shocking the world at the degree of looting, property destruction and violence in this and other French cities. What began as student demonstrations over deteriorating schools and teacher shortages has expanded into a nationwide movement over the cost of living, fuel prices, declining public services and dissatisfaction with President Emmanuel Macron’s government—or any government for that matter. Parts of the movement have descended into looting, arson (110 vehicles cars were torched), violent confrontations with police, historic buildings in Marseille and Lyon attacked and Limoges’ historic town hall set ablaze. France’s uprisings make even the Antifa riots in the US look mild by comparison. Arrests mounted into the thousands, curfews were introduced in some areas, and police tried in vain to curtail looting and property destruction. About 2400 protestors have been arrested and 1900 police injured. Over 3,000 shops have been looted or destroyed with damages in the billions of Euros. Protests, some violent, also broke out in other parts of Europe. Despite the horrible damage, this is but the latest in France’s long history of violent protests, including the most famous events of the French revolution. This week, I’ll discuss what increasing public discontent like this portends for social instability in the future of Europe.

Per the study design, the control group of 7,000 infants would skip the at-birth hepatitis B vaccine dose and receive it later on at six weeks, whereas the experimental group of 7,000 infants would receive the shot immediately at birth, the objective being to assess potential adverse health impacts of the hepatitis B shot in day-old infants - a practice which the Public Health™ experts stateside have gone to war to shield from scrutiny, notwithstanding the facts that: · Screening mothers for hepatitis B is cheap and easy · Hepatitis B, outside of mother-to-infant transmission, is nearly exclusively acquired via unprotected sex and intravenous drug use, neither of which most rational people outside of Portland or Brooklyn would recognize as normal activities for infants

The Wall Street Journal reported that Musk personally ordered the cap. One of its sources said he and President Trump discussed the move before it took effect, while others said they spoke only after it became public, and some U.S. officials said Musk acted alone. Administration denials have been broad. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said "there was no foreknowledge," Hegseth said "we haven't pulled anything back," and a White House official said "we didn't slow down Starlink at all." Trump has said he did not make the call but that Musk should not be blamed, AP noted.

[T]he US media—mainstream and social—are reacting as if this has no precedent. It has several thousand years’ worth of precedent. It’s the way France has always been and will always be. Do I think it’s a good way to be? No. But it will never change. It must simply be accepted.
