Sar-COLD-zy Article - Comments...

[AquariusRising]

I just finished reading this article concerning the upcoming showdown with Nick Sar-Cold-zy here:http://www.sott.net/articles/show/143693-France-Sarkozy-seeks-confrontation-with-the-working-class

This is not the path chosen by Sarkozy. "It's either you or me," is his message to railway workers, and he has left little room for compromise or retreat.

Now where have I heard that mentality before? Oh, yeah… “You are either with US or you are with the Terra-ist.” – Geiko Bush.

"Victory or the premature end of Sarkozyism. It is in these terms and with a high level of risk for himself that the president has defined the framework of the first major social conflict he confronts," wrote Liberation.

Please, let it be the premature end of Sar-Cold-zy. To those French who may be reading this, know that on November 21 and 29th there will be at least one American cheering on the worker’s strike!

During a visit to Germany on Monday, Sarkozy stressed his determination to remain firm. He praised the "great reforms" carried out in Germany as a model for France, and added that now was the time to be "cold blooded."

Yes, a cold blooded Sar-Cold-zy. Some reform may be needed, but why doesn't he start with the corruption in government instead of dismantling the most human labor laws on the planet?

The trade union leaderships are gripped by panic at the prospect that the dispute over Sarkozy's "reforms" could broaden into a mass movement which could challenge the authority of the government and the president. This would inevitably lead to a political crisis and rock the entire political system upon which the power of the ruling elite is based.

I am going to put my money on Sar-Cold-zy FAILING. The French will get rid of this little loud-mouth bum-kisser within two years. I will be cheering.



There are several things I like about France, however there are two that I truly ADMIRE about the French.

1) The General Strike.
2) The 4 to 7 weeks VACATION + holidays a year.

The General strike is the only equalizing instrument of power that the working classes have in this global elite nightmare paradigm. I pray/meditate the French do not allow Sar-Cold-zy to rape them. I so wish we could call a general nationwide strike here in the USA, where we could shut down the entire country for 2-3 days to regain what power the working class has lost in the past 70 years. Then, the PTB will finally be challenged. It has been far too easy for these reptiles.

The U.S.A. has been so thoroughly sucked dry of reason that people here believe that 4 - 7 weeks VACATION + holidays is BAD! I am not joking. Americans who have lived overseas though and have returned really UNDERSTAND how completely insane the labor situation is, and can SEE the government propaganda concerning work, work, work - the American Way – work, work, work for no vacation - work for no living wage - work for a 30 minute lunch or no lunch - work overtime - work for no insurance - work and just be grateful you have job!!! Now Work!

Since the 80’s, vacation time hasn't increased as one might suspect in the "richest" country in the world, but rather decreased to the all time low of NO vacation to 5 days a year + some holidays. 5 DAMN days a year and you can almost guarantee 3 of those days it's going to rain! And here is the most unbelievable of all, many Americans aren’t using all the vacation days they do have because they fear losing money and/or their job!?!

I am here to write in big bold letters that, 4 - 7 WEEKS VACATION A YEAR ISSSSSS GOOD!!! YES, IT IS CIVILIZED - IT IS ETHICAL - IT IS HUMAN. The Europeans have gotten this right. I am not a Euro-phille, I am simply stating TRUTH.

For those who have never visited the USA and have wondered why so many people are clueless about so many things that really matter....well, part of the reason why is that - generally speaking - we HAVE NO TIME TO THINK because we are working - working - working for reptiles. We haven't any time to reflect on a subject/topic/issue domestically or internationally or to read in-depth magazines or books.

If every HUMAN being in the working class in the USA had 4 - 7 weeks vacation a year + holidays, to travel at LEISURE in their own country and abroad, and so had enough RELAX time to read, think, dialogue, and ponder the actions of both their local community and national leaders, IMO the USA would be a more civilized country and not the Frankenstein nation it has become.

The Sar-Cold-zy article also sparked my memory concerning an interview I saw last year with Bill O'Reilly and Mr. Faux the author of the book, "The Global Class War". The transcript is here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,189469,00.html
If you scroll down 1/4 of the page you will see RELATED and a VIDEO link. I highly recommend the video. (5 minutes) They discuss the distinctions between US and European economic models and vacation time.

What is the idiot O'Reilly defending??? Who is the HUMAN and who is the REPTILE? You DECIDE.

 

[Mr. Premise]

Amen, A.R, well-said. The U.S. economic system is inhumane. And it does keep us tired and stupid as it was designed to do.

A general strike is the only solution, we all stay home and don't come back until we get healthcare, 8 weeks vacation and a retirement pension. Everyone would have to do it, though.

Yep. I think it was Ouspensky who said that the animal mind is so filled with perceptions that constantly stream thru their consciousness that there is no TIME allowed for the possibility for them to have their perceptions coalesed (or integrated), into conceptions. (Although, I think, some animals can do it to a very, very limited degree).

Similiarly, Americans work so much in an automatic way, and are so preoccupied with such, that they no longer have time for conceptual thinking. Now I find that many want to work like robots. They would not know what they would do with their free time even if they had it. They want to be slaves.

All the French have to do is to look at the U.S. to see the path Sarkozzi wants to take them down. Do they REALLY wanna go there?

It is easier to resist at the beginning than at the end.

 

[Adaryn]

In 1995, there was a 3 weeks strike regarding several bills (regarding university, social security and retirement system) -- the governement backed out.
In 2005, it also backed out after the great mass movement against the CPE (an unfair employment law).
And today ?
Well, the strike movement seems divided. Sarkozy is determined to carry out the reforms at all costs. He's absolutely ready to use repression to "preserve the civil peace" (his own words).

In this video, you can see a brave Celtic fisherman (during Sarko's visit in Brittany) calling out Sarko : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3fy4x_encule-sarkozy_politics

translation : the fisherman greets Sarko with a typical Celtic welcome (reserved to Hungarian presidents :P) : "Enculé" (d*ckhead would be a way to translate it) and mocks him about his 140% wage increase (yep)
Sarkozy asks him to "come over here", to which he responds : "If I come down, I'll give you a headbutt".

The media broadcasted the incident (covering up the insult of course) :
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3fmwe_sarkozy-bafouille-face-au-pecheur_fun
Now that's funny coz the "French poodle", despite his dozens of bodyguards, still manages to stammer out of fear ("who's saying that ?" "if-if you think, if you think that ins-sult is going to s-s-s-olve the p-problems of the fishermen...l-l-l- let mme tell you-you... ok, come down !")

Now, less funny :
this video is really unsettling and worrying. it shows the level of ponerisation of society, the violence against people becomes ordinary and acceptable :
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3gy59_forces-de-lordre-a-luniversite-de-n
The scene : Students on strike (against a bill turning the registration at univ. into a selection, by increasing the costs) have blocked the entrance of the Nanterre university, making access impossible to other students who are against the strike and want to study. The uni chairman has called the police force to ensure that the students who want to access the building can do so. The students who want to enter insult the ones who are on strike and *encourage* the police to beat up the strikers, shouting "allez les bleus" (they wear blue helmets). They actually applaud when the police uses violence against the strikers. Seeing students siding with the police against other students is quite disturbing, to say the least.

Don't forget that the train conductors in Germany also strike. A few months ago they were even talking to privatize the German railways.

A few months ago they were even talking to privatize the German railways.

Well, if that's the case, you could say that privatization may be the ultimate goal in France as well (from the perspective of the PTB). Privatization of what was formerly government or public-run sectors is always one of the goals of neo-liberal economics because of the vast sums of money that get put into fewer private hands instead of being funneled back into the general public. And seeing how Sarkozy is all chummy with BushandCo. it wouldn't surprise me one bit if one of his recommendations in response to the strike is to privatize the mass transit system. I wouldn't even doubt that conditions were purposefully made a certain way, knowing that the transit employees would strike, so that Sarkozy could attempt to solve the "crisis" through privatization. It's straight out of the economic shock therapy book.

I’ve read the 6 reply posts. Thanks for your comments, and I did view the 3 video links offered from Feather. Yes, it's true Sar-cold-sy is so very cocky when he has his gang of guards around. When a man projects out like Sar-cold-zy in those videos, you can bet your house in his true nature he is a coward.

I am with the French and the German workers completely. To me though, France is the frontline, however this fight I feel is bigger than the country of France alone since this latest elizard-ist attack is really an attack on the whole of humanity, and its last citadel of CIVILIZED labor law. Imo, it will take ALL of the grit, determination, and persistence of the French to persevere.

Sar-Cold-zy has laid down the gauntlet, now let the French people pick it up and smack him in the face with it! Otherwise, as Laura mentioned, the French could end up with the American Labor Scam: a descending octave, and as history demonstrates, when American reality becomes YOUR reality, there’s really no way back.

IMO, France you REALLY don’t wanna go there.

Was reading DH's latest and noticed something that caught my attention:

Sarkozy is able to base his offensive against the working class on two factors: the bankruptcy of the Socialist Party and the treacherous role of the trade unions. His election victory in May was primarily due to the fact that the Socialist Party had completely discredited itself with its right-wing policies. Since the election, the party has drifted even further to the right and is rent by internal divisions.

Is it just me, or does it sound like the socialist party was infected by ponerogenic factors? Eerily similar playbook as to what happened to the democrats here in the US.

Six months after taking over as president, and in the absence of any serious opposition from within the political establishment or from the unions, Sarkozy has been able to maintain a certain degree of popularity. According to a recent poll by Libération, 59 percent of those polled supported his stand against the régimes spéciaux.

Libération also pointed out, however, that the tide is shifting against Sarkozy. More than half of those polled declared he had failed in the spheres of employment and budgetary policy. With regard to purchasing power, 79 percent expressed criticism of the president - a clear consequence of rising inflation, which has created problems for an increasing share of the population. In total, just 54 percent expressed a positive opinion about the president - his lowest rating since the election. In September, the figure had stood at 66 percent.

And again we see the same trend. No serious political opposition, inflation, and very low popularity. Grant Sark-izzle has only been in office like a quarter of the time bush has, but it's creepy to see the same patterns across the board. Just thought I'd comment, thanks to Donald for his excellent and always apropos commentary.

 

[Mr. Premise]

Thanks, Cyre! As for Ponerogenesis, it is similar to the U.S., since there are a lot of Zionists at high levels of the Socialist Party in France. That is why, I think, that so many of the Socialist bigwigs are sympathetic to Sarkozy. There may be other reasons as well, having to do with being "bought and paid for" members of the elite. That may explain the betrayals of the labor leaders.

I really feel for the French. As during the presidential elections when hoping that this Sarkozy creature wouldn't get elected. And on the whole what is going on now seems to be a symbolic stand for the whole of humanity. And if France is pacified, the slide into psychopath heaven of labor slavery will be only accelerated.

As a side note, during the recent postal strike of Royal Mail here in Britain, which was only partial, I noticed so much hysteria and viciousness in how the whole situation was portrayed in the media and perceived in general. It was like anyone who approved of it was seen as at least a traitor. A really vicious environment.

It's the same in France -- pure hysteria, on TV, they only show people complaining and raging against the strikes -- "that's enough, we're fed up with it, we want to go to work !".
In reality, the strike movement is still there. But it's threatened by the treason of some trade unionists like Bernard Thibaud, who advocate "dialogue" and "compromission" (understand : submission). In fact, the trade unions have been had by the government tactiques of "divide and conquer". Now they're fighting each other.
With the reform of "régimes spéciaux", they set workers against workers. A terrible situation.

A comment of François Fillon, Prime minister : "Millions of French people run the risk of being denied an essential liberty : being able to move around, and even to work."

Someone wrote about this so-called liberty, many centuries ago. It was la Boétie, and the text is called "Discourse on voluntary servitude".
Online here : http://www.constitution.org/la_boetie/serv_vol.htm

This call to freedom ringing down the corridors of four centuries is sounded again here for the sake of peoples in all totalitarian countries today who dare not freely declare their thought.

It will also ring dear and beautiful in the ears of those who still live freely and who by faith and power will contribute to the liberation of the rest of mankind from the horrors of political serfdom.

I am wondering if Sarkozy is going to adopt a Tatcher-like attitude like she did in the eighties

I dunno it seems to me that there are similarities.

In reply to myself (Hi buddy).
So yes, there are huge similarities, thanks for the open letter to the people of France article.

Is it just me, or does it sound like the socialist party was infected by ponerogenic factors?

I guess that any organization holding power is ponerized to a certain degree. However it is definitely true for the socialist party particularly during the election.

Actually most senior members betrayed Segolene Royal who was the left wing candidate against Sharkozy.

The betrayals took different forms, passivity, recognizing the defeat before the election, joining the opponent's side, arguing with the candidate, showing poor/mild support, passing undirect sexist jokes,...

The betrayal was so obvious that Royal, after the elction loss, had this very telling phrase : 'Having Juda at your table is not enough to be the Messiah' (in her case most people around the table were traitors).

Anyway after Sarkozy's election, the betrayers got rewarded : Strauss Kahn (one of the three most important member of the socialist party) got the presidency of the IMF, Kouchner (co-founder of MSF) became Minister of the Foreign Affairs (he's actively preparing the invasion of Iran), Besson (former official speaker of the socialist party who joined Sarkozy three months before the elections) is now Secretary of State in charge of the public policies (politically correct title for privatization)...
