Like many of you, I've been trying to follow the news of the widening "student" protests in France. It was clear from the start that the protesters--or the vast majority of them--were not ethnically French. And, in fact, this video confirms that they are mostly second and third generation invaders migrants. But just as the leftists in the U.S. have determined that the path to power means aligning with Muslims, so seems to be the case with the French protests. In this article from Fox News--"Behind France's student riots: Communists, unions and a global propaganda network"--we see a similar strategy and some of the same names. An excerpt:
From France to the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Greece and India, adults with deep pockets are tapping France's school protests and turning a domestic education dispute into a platform for broader political and ideological confrontation. BreakThrough News is a pro-communist propaganda outlet based in New York City, funded by an American-born, Shanghai-based communist tech tycoon, Neville Roy Singham, who has financed a network of communist and far-left groups in the U.S. that have capitalized on grievances to stoke similar street unrest for almost a decade.
A Fox News Digital investigation traces how a movement that the media is mostly framing as students protesting deteriorating school conditions is actually part of an extensive infrastructure of unions, communist activists, far-left political parties and international media organizations that are organizing demonstrations, calling strikes, mobilizing supporters and broadcasting the unrest around the world with "BREAKING" alerts.
In a digital analysis of scores of news articles, social media posts and public statements, Fox News Digital has identified 50 organizations in the French student protest movement and its wider network of supporters and international amplifiers, revealing an activist ecosystem extending far beyond the students who launched the demonstrations.
Of the network of 50 groups, 15 are student or youth groups, including several communist youth movements and a Muslim student association.
The remaining 35 adult groups include a dozen labor unions; eight communist or socialist organizations; five groups spanning other issues from taxes to parental advocacy, environmental activism, economic justice, international media and diaspora organizing; five civil-rights or human-rights groups; four political parties, including La France Insoumise, or France Unbowed, and the French Communist Party; one Palestinian advocacy group that complete the "red-green" alliance of leftists with Muslims.
There is a reason that communism is also referred to as international socialism. And not well this observation: "The result is a self-reinforcing cycle: far-left activist networks amplify protests around the world, then package the unrest as evidence of a growing global uprising." In any event, there is a lot more in the article, including further discussion of the ties to Muslim groups, so read the whole thing.
It appears that this protest movement is spreading, with violent protests having been staged in Belgium. Le Monde reports that "Brussels' riot police clash with protestors against backdrop of student protests," relating:
Hundreds of people faced off with riot police in the streets of Brussels on Friday, October 9, in chaotic scenes on the sidelines of a workers' march. Some 30,000 people turned out for a national day of action against government austerity measures, police said, with tensions running high after days of student protests.
Police said the main trade union rally in the city center went ahead peacefully but that "groups of troublemakers were responsible for serious incidents before and after the march." Officers deployed water cannon and tear gas after being targeted with sticks, bottles, paving stones and incendiary devices, police said.
Gangs of youths were playing cat-and-mouse with police in the streets around the main international rail hub at Gare du Midi in particular, lighting fires and vandalizing bus stops across the area. Two buses were attacked – their windows smashed and seats ripped out after the passengers were evacuated – while youths set fire to trash cans, rental bikes and scooters.
And Axios reports that there have been calls for similar protests across Europe, including in Greece, Italy, Ireland, and Austria, although the article disclaims any connection or organizing force behind the protests.
