Peaceful family orientated Paris Climate March infiltrated and ruined by violent extremists!

[Asher Kelman]

A wonderful family friendly mass march in Paris directed to solidarity with protecting our planet as harshly subverted today! “Yellow Vest” protesters in the ~45th consecutive demonstration, mixed with the crowds!

The “Yellow Vest” protesters, but sheathed now in black, turned the event violent, smashing store windows and 7,000 riot police then reacted with tear gas.

Thanks Jerome!

I admit to ignorance of this amazingly vigorous French Academic School and Piketty!

Lots of data but very short conclusion!

I would love to see analysis by others of this amazingly packed analysis.

Is it “engineered” to show the political changes in the results. If it was produced here I would suspect that.

Taken at its face, it’s a remarkable paper, but I require more time than I have given at 3:30 am to 4:10 am sitting on the side of my bed so as not to disturb my wife!

This will take some digesting. Just seeing Villepin as one of the initial backers makes me take pause. I cannot forget how he ambushed Colin Powell with his sharp rhetoric!

One still needs independant analysis. I will ask my son if he has patience and stoicism to study it or can recommend who at Berkeley or elsewhere can do that.
