ER Editor: We do recommend listening to a Youtube channel new to us, The Life of Ryan. Older readers will hear the echo of a famous 1979 movie title, The Life of Brian from Monty Python. Here are our notes for this video. Ryan, a Brit who lives and works in France, clearly understands this country. It’s worth listening to him for a brief 15 minutes; he’s humourous, and he leaves us with exactly the right level of disbelief.

A quick note as to the deliberately theatrical nature of this: discerning French friends would purchase Francois Bayrou’s books at one point, respecting him as a man with an intelligent, coherent message.  One friend recently said after listening to Bayrou on television, ‘he can’t even speak’. Theatre, guys, theatre. Bayrou was a cabal puppet, according to our info; likely, he’s a 2.0 by now. Macron has been for a long time. Image comparisons show we’re not dealing with the same people.

#10 septembre

NOTES

There will be major protests across France on September 10, a self-proclaimed ‘no leader’ protest representing neither right nor left. (We have asked activist friends and no-one seems to know where the impulse for the protest has come from.) It’s an effort to bring the country to a standstill on this day, with ripples throughout the rest of the month. Ryan details this for us via French media. All sectors of a functioning society, especially all the modes of transport, will be affected. People are being asked to stop purchasing through the usual channels – supermarkets, Amazon, etc.

Why is France doing this? Because of it’s new PM, Francois Bayrou

Bayrou’s overall message is that the French (who already do work hard for poor pay and high taxes) must work harder. Ryan is too young to recall this, but Bayrou’s message of basically ‘one must work more to earn more’ is a DIRECT restatement of the single-term, hated president Nicolas Sarkozy, who gave out this message to the public as a diktat. See Travailler plus pour gagner plus via Wikipedia. Many French will recall this. 

And let’s cancel TWO major public holidays while we’re at it

This is the 2nd major joke here. Bayrou wants to cancel Easter Monday because it has ‘no religious significance’. Yes, the joke is THAT clear. The second public holiday is May 8, the victory of the Allied forces in Europe, instituted in 1945. Bayrou uses the word for a cheese in relation to this day, ‘gruyere’, a cheese with a lot of holes. You couldn’t make it up.

Bayrou is facing a no-confidence vote this upcoming week, May 8. Asks Ryan at the end,

Are we living in a simulation or what? Is is even real?

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
