There have been windows in history when the people have had enough abuse and so rise up in revolt. The American and French revolutions come to mind as does 1848. Perhaps we are experiencing something like that at the present time, a revolt against the pressure to conform to globalist values that have been embraced to their benefit by the elites and the establishment in much of the world. It could well become a hard fought and sometimes bloody conflict but its outcome will shape the next century. Will the people really have power in the increasingly globalized world or will it be the 1% with its government and media backing that emerges triumphant?Western elites are gearing up for war against Russia and China while facing domestic revolutions at the same time. The historical dialectic in action.

Neoliberals make war on the masses. The masses complain, but I wouldn’t call their protests a “war” or a “revolution.” Not yet anyway. The war is one-sided.
I do agree that Western elites are gearing up for war against Russia and China. The elites will soon need war in order to distract and silence the starving masses.
Philip Giraldi mentions Belgium, which is not quite as bad as France, but average Belgians are struggling. The Belgian government cannot create euros out of thin air, and for the last ten years, Belgium has spent as much time having a trade deficit as having a trade surplus. With a trade deficit, more euros flow out of Belgium than into it. Therefore Belgium is in debt, and therefore has ever-worsening austerity, poverty, and inequality.
European politicians want to throw open the doors for more and more immigrants. This policy is so widespread that I must conclude it is a neoliberal plot to drive down wages while keeping the masses divided and helpless.
Philip Giraldi mentions “regime change” in France. I say again that regime change will make no difference. As long as France uses the euro, grovels to Brussels, and has a trade deficit, whoever is in office will continue to crush the masses with austerity and neoliberalism whether he or she wants to or not. Even Marine Le Pen would have to grovel. God Himself would have to grovel if France continued to use the euro.
“Government itself is becoming the enemy.” ~ Philip Giraldi
The enemy is rich oligarchs, plus the stupidity of the masses. Politicians are mere puppets of the oligarchs. They are the "trustee inmates" of the American gulag.
