France is under siege. \u00a0Some 90,000 security forces are being deployed across France with particular attention to always combustible Paris and Marseilles.\u00a0 Armored vehicles are moving into the capital.\u00a0 Certain military units are on high alert.<\/p>\n

The storm that is hitting France came out of what looked like a clear blue sky.\u00a0 The angry demonstrators, known as \u2018gilets jaunes\u2019 (yellow jackets), for the warning vests all motorists must keep in their cars, inundated Paris last weekend in peaceful\u00a0 protests over the government\u2019s planned increases in fuel prices, which were already among Europe\u2019s highest.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>For people like me who love and esteem France, it was like seeing your mother or daughter being raped by barbarians.\u00a0 The forces of order in France were overwhelmed and outpaced by the fast-moving bands of \u2018breakers.\u2019\u00a0 Media called them anarchists of far right and far left.\u00a0 But anarchists have at least political philosophy. \u00a0We remember how the Spanish anarchist POUM ruled Barcelona during that nation\u2019s bloody civil war.<\/p>\n

The vandals who attacked Paris and other French cities had no philosophy. \u00a0They were simply scum of the gutter reveling in an orgy of…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
