  • Dooley says protests and demonstrations have been erupting across Europe over the past few days. In the last few weeks he saw demonstrations in France, and he says they have spread to Belgium, Portugal, Italy, Spain and Albania. He describes a widening disconnect between the political establishment and ordinary working people, and ties it to the cost of living, mass immigration, a debt crisis he says could collapse the global economy, and what he calls the technocratic push by the European Union.
  • He says there were over 2,000 arrests in France the day before, with looting on the streets and riots. He mentions the burning down of the city hall in Limoges, which he says had stood for well over 140 years. He also points to Zelensky's visit to Europe a few days earlier, saying Zelensky is looking for upwards of about 155 billion euro next year, while ordinary people in Europe are told to pull up or shut up.
  • Dooley says Macron has already said there is no room for violence and that France must stand united against chaos, and that Macron was due to address the French nation around 8:00 local time that evening. He expects Macron might look at invoking exceptional powers under Article 16 of the French Constitution, or Article 31, which provides for a state of siege. He says that could involve martial law and the cancellation of elections, and that calls for Macron to resign are growing while he faces elections himself.
  • He argues the people in charge will use any unrest to clamp down on ordinary people, and that out of chaos a new form of order will come, which he calls a technocratic, totalitarian agenda. He points to the French Revolution, which he says was precipitated by a massive increase in the price of bread, and to the inflation, food prices and energy costs Europeans face now. He says Aristotle called poverty the parent of revolution. His message is that working people should not be divided into camps, and should demand that their nation's sovereignty and their own interests come first.

Hello everyone

Hello everyone. Europe is on fire. Over the past few days we've seen more and more protests and demonstrations erupt across Europe. In the last few weeks we've seen demonstrations in France and this has spread into other countries including Belgium, Portugal, Italy, Spain and Albania. Now there is a widening disconnect between the political establishment and ordinary working people. And this goes beyond a lot of our socio-economic problems and the drive towards the technocratic or techno-fascist push by the European Union. We've seen.

So many people struggling with the cost of living disaster. We've seen the fallout from mass immigration in terms of pushing the globalist agenda and the low wage agenda across Europe and really eroding the undermining of any nation's sovereignty. And also the massive debt crisis we've seen completely which could collapse the global economy. But this is at the same time when we see what's taking place in terms of greatest transfer of wealth towards the billionaires and they have more and more control. And.

This comes at the same time similarly when Zelensky was in Europe a number of days ago. And next year he's looking for upwards of about 155 billion euro to continue the war machine in the most corrupt country in Europe, Ukraine. This is when more and more people in Europe are told to pull up or shut up as he drags us towards war. Now we've seen over 2,000 arrests in France yesterday. There was a lot of looting on the streets. There was riots.

There was again more and more protests. And at the same time we've seen just some awful events. For instance, the burning down of the city hall in Limoges in France which has stood for well over 140 years. But it demonstrates a lot of facets to what's taken place in society. I'm sure out of chaos will come order, according to political establishment. Because Macron has already said there's no room for violence and France must stand united against the seeds or of.

Chaos. And that's what he wants to push forward. Tonight, he's due to address the French nation around 8:00 local time. And uh let's see what he says during that speech. I'm sure he's going to possibly look as invoking exceptional powers. This comes under the French Constitution Article 16, which provides a lot of powers. And there's another article of the French Constitution, 31, which provides for a state of siege. Uh perhaps this could be invoked as well, which could involve martial law,.

At the council cancellation of elections

At the council cancellation of elections. And uh let's see how this develops and plays out over the coming hours and days. But at the same time, we've seen that they'll always use whatever they can to clamp down on ordinary people. They've created massive, massive division. So many people have been used, for instance, for them to push their plan in place, create civil unrest. And out of this chaos will come a new form of order. Move towards a technocratic dystopian.

Totalitarian agenda that they're driving towards, which whatever side of the fence you're on, we're all going to be part of the same system. Because that's what their intention is. Unless people wake up to what's been take taken place and to not to be played or fall into this narrative. Because ordinary people will be the ones who will suffer under what they intend to push forward. But also it connects a wider malaise in society in terms of creating this.

Destruction and creating more destruction for people through the so-called bread and circuses. Remember in the times of economic our system uncertainty to put it very mildly. At times uh people were forced into poverty. We remember the times of the French Revolution which was precipitated by the massive increase in bread. And we've seen the massive increases in inflationary crisis as well here in Europe which is impacting ordinary people. The value of a basic income on a daily basis as more and more people.

Struggle with the basic cost of living, basic food prices, and energy costs as well. And a basic dignified existence is next to impossible. And so many people feel left behind, feel powerless, and because of all this the push is towards a dystopia. That's the agenda being pushed by by the political establishment. At the same time they'll push every kind of lie at people. Constant nonsense on the media about Russia every single day to try and prepare the people.

For war. They've always treated people as complete idiots, ordinary working people. But more and more people are waking up to what's taking place. So more and more people should wake up and not fall for this nonsense of being divided into various camps. It should be ordinary working people stand up for the interests of ourselves and not be divided or distracted into this nonsense that they're trying to push forward to bring forward their new agenda. And remember.

"Out of poverty" as Aristotle said is the parent

"Out of poverty" as Aristotle said is the parent of revolution. As more and [clears throat] more people are struggling and suffering. But it's very important to note that what the demands should be for ordinary people. The demand should be to put our nation's sovereignty first and also to put the interests of ordinary working people first and not the interests of a criminal cabal which is organizing and calling the shots with at the with the help of their compromised.

“But it's very important to note that what the demands should be for ordinary people”

Political and media establishment who are completely bought and paid for by the billionaire class, by those oligarchs of the banking elites, financial elites, and the big tech elites pushing these this agenda onto ordinary working people. So, let's see how this plays out over the next period of time. And I'm sure that this is part of their wider plan to push forward civil unrest to try and clamp down on basic people's rights. Calls were for Macron to resign.

And he is facing an absolute catastrophic implosion domestically himself, facing elections, and I'm sure he'll be using this opportunity to look at canceling elections. So, let's see how this plays out over the next period of time. Something to carefully watch and something to be completely aware of what's taking place across society. So, thanks so much for the support and remember it was those globalists that started this agenda in the first place and I can't overemphasize out of their chaos they.

All want a new form of order. They love the answers, the ones who created the chaos are now coming up with the solutions. It's real absolute dystopian stuff taking place currently. So, thanks so much for the support and I appreciate all the shares with my videos from Dublin today. It's long overdue. See you all soon.

Protests spread from France across Europe, and Dooley warns Macron could reach for emergency powers.

Dooley says demonstrations that began in France in recent weeks have spread to Belgium, Portugal, Italy, Spain and Albania. He says there were over 2,000 arrests in France the day before, along with looting and riots, and that the city hall in Limoges was burned down.
